We had even lower temperatures today. Flannel doesn't want to go away this year indeed
So am I. More so considering I still don't have any spring pants.
It doesn't look good. I have a jacket I bought at Goodwill that's kind of like that.

That's purely your opinion. It's the not the opinion of everyone else on the planet, otherwise you'd have reviews with well below average scores.
On the internet, I think many people exaggerate way too much, but there's nothing I can do to change that. Look at how many Resident Evil 6 haters there are out there. Is the game really that bad? Hell no. Can it still be fun even if you're not a fan of the series? Hell Yes.
No one's opinion is right or wrong. It's all personal, and you and I just don't agree with Dragon Song.
Lunar: Dragon Song, while no where near as well-made as Resident Evil 6, isn't completely broken, and for the price, it's not like it's sucking up tons 'o cash from anyone, which is why I listed some of its flaws. I'm not saying that anyone HAS to buy it. Reading reviews and watching videos can give us a better understanding.
Me? I bought the game years ago, and I knew what I was kinda getting myself into. But after giving the game some time, I found that many people were just hating on things that really aren't that bad. Many were turning a small ember into a roaring blaze, when it really wasn't all that necessary.
Believe me, I've played a great deal of bad RPGs these past decades, and I know horrible games when I see one...but that's after I've given it a fair chance.
Still, I liked Dragon Song. It's story, while not all that "epic" it's still fine, and there are way more shallow games on the market, and many more that seems like hastily-made money makers.
The whole "needle in the eye" thing is silly.
Have you even played Di-Gata Defenders!?
There's a huge difference between flawed and flat-out broken !!
Plus, there's absolutely nothing wrong with the Luminous Arc games.
It's a shame that the 3rd game never made it out of Japan...
Adding Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 2/Devil Survivor didn't "fix" anything. They were examples. And yes, those games you added are really good, too.
The point I was trying to make is that you'd have to spend a bit more to get some of the better DS games. I only listed a few games, and I could say to get Pokemon games, Devil Survivor, Shin Megami Tensei, Megaman Star Force, etc., but I haven't played them all or enough of those games to recommend them to anyone. I've even stated that saving money to buy the others is probably a good idea, but I'm trying to list games that I personally didn't have too many problems with for bargain bin prices. Also, I'm being honest. I haven't played every game out there. I don't think I should recommend anything that I haven't played myself. I could be leading someone into something really bad without giving any warnings or stating flaws that I've encountered in my playtime.

While there's nothing "wrong" about Luminous Arc. There's nothing right about it either.
It's completely mediocre.
So it is wrong to recommend to someone on a budget. If they're going to spend cash, it certainly shouldn't be on something that's just average. Devil Survivor and FFTA2 are excellent representatives of the SRPG genre. They do something more than the average SRPG. FFTA2 with its customization and missions and Devil Survivor with its SMT gameplay/difficuty.
What does Luminous Arc do? Nothing. It's an average SRPG. It's what you play when your done playing FFT2 and DeSu1/2 and a few other SRPGs.
Certainly not something anyone should buy if they're on a budget.
And the same goes for Lunar Dragon Song. It's just so horribly designed that anyone with a very limited amount of funds shouldn't waste their cash on it.
There are at least a thousand DS games. Many of which are pretty cheap if bought used. So many titles that mediocre games like Luminous Arc 1/2 and crap games like Lunar DS, especially Lunar DS can be passed over and nothing of value will be lost.
Limited cash? Anything less than good is immediately a bad idea.

($30) Full, deep ruby. Brooding aromas of crushed blackberry, bitter chocolate and licorice spiced by oak; not yet expressive. Then supple and spicy in the mouth, with a restrained sweetness and a lightly medicinal character. At once less lush and less vibrant than the Blend 1, finishing with dustier, more serious tannins.

Bennington hospital admits that care was inadequate for deceased patientStaff Report | October 14,2013BENNINGTON - Officials at Southwestern Vermont Medical Center said Monday that two nurses in their emergency department failed to respond immediately when a patient died unexpectedly, thereby failing to provide adequate care.
The nurses, who have not been identified, will no longer be treating patients, according to Thomas Dee, president and CEO of Southwestern Vermont Health Care.
The hospital is expected to be cited for failing to maintain proper standards by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, which could result in SVMC losing its eligibility to receive Medicare payments. It's unlikely that the hospital would lose that eligibility, however, as there are already actions being taken to correct the deficiencies.
The investigation looked at a patient who died of unknown cause. An autopsy was ordered in the case.
The patient came to the hospital's emergency department and complained of back pain. The patient received an initial assessment but then a non-clinical staff member noticed the patient showed no signs of life and notified both nurses caring for the patient.
Neither nurse immediately checked on the patient. A few minutes later, the nurse in charge also noticed that the patient showed no signs of life. She immediately called a doctor.MORE IN This Just InWindsor and Hartford earned the top seeds when the Division III and I football pairings were...

The CAMH Monitor, first conducted in 1977, is the longest ongoing addiction and mental health survey of adults in Canada. The survey is designed to serve as the primary vehicle for monitoring substance use and mental health problems among Ontario adults. The CAMH Monitor provides epidemiological trends in alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use, problem use, public opinion regarding drug issues and policies, and mental health among Ontarians.
About 3,000 Ontario adults are interviewed each year using random digit dialling. The sample is considered representative of Ontarians aged 18 years and older (about 10 million Ontarians). Your household may be randomly selected to participate in our survey.
To learn more about the CAMH Monitor and to get answers to questions you may have, see our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs).
The 2013 CAMH Monitor eReport describes the extent of substance use and related harms, as well as mental health and well-being indicators among Ontario adults aged 18 years and older. Estimates are based on telephone interviews with 3,021 adults (48% of eligible respondents), conducted between January and December 2013. The report also describes changes in alcohol, tobacco and cannabis use, based on 28 surveys conducted between 1977 and 2013.

Saikou Roof Kengaku Route
- Height:

- Description:©
Name Translates as "Highest roof tour route"
- Ethic: inherited from Japan
There`s not a lot of information about in English on climbing in Japan. Much of the information is kept in personal blogs or is accessed through joining a climbing organization.
Many of the routes are well protected, while other less climbed "sport" routes have loose pitons as protection.
The Japan Free Climbing Association does a lot of good work (http://freeclimb.jp/seibi/seibi.htm) but with some clubs and communities, many techniques and ethics are still passed down from old generations with outdated gear and techniques.

I can't comment from a medical point of view but I have been eating 10-40 carbs a day for the past three months and I'm still functioning...
I can't comment from a medical point of view but I have been eating 10-40 carbs a day for the past three months and I'm still functioning...
I'd believe it, anything under 100 is probably dangerous for most people. Just make sure you are eating the good carbs - Fruits, Veggies (potatoes), those kind of things. Do not listen to the low carb freaks around here... It is just not healthy.
My brain feels BETTER after a couple of weeks of low-carbin' it. It feels like a fog has lifted. Keep in mind your brain can happily use ketones for fuel, but if your body isn't used to low carb it does take time for your body to adjust. There is no way Grok got 130 g carbs consistently every day, that's part of why our metabolic processes are so complex. If you're already lean and your metabolism is strong, 130 falls within the maintenance range, but idk.
Your body easily converts protein in to carbs as needed. Don't listen to the "high-carb" freaks.
The following comes from Dr. Eades blog if you're interested in the whole fat and protein converted in the liver to glucose thing:
The Blog of Michael R. Eades, M.D. » Metabolism and ketosis
If, instead of starving, youre following a low-carb diet, it gets even better. The protein you eat is converted to glucose instead of the protein in your muscles. If you keep the carbs low enough so that the liver still has to make some sugar, then you will be in fat-burning mode while maintaining your muscle mass, the best of all worlds. How low is low enough? Well, when the ketosis process is humming along nicely and the brain and other tissues have converted to ketones for fuel, the requirement for glucose drops to about 120-130 gm per day. If you keep your carbs below that at, say, 60 grams per day, youre liver will have to produce at least 60-70 grams of glucose to make up the deficit, so you will generate ketones that entire time.
So, on a low-carb diet you can feast and starve all at the same time. Is it any wonder its so effective for weight loss?
kiss = keep it simple, sister!
I've been on both sides. Very VERY low carb, zero carb basically, and eating all the primal carbs in the world at all times.
Honestly? I can't say with certainty which felt "better" I just know that I personally enjoy my life more with carbs around. The food possibilities are greatly amplified (what? there are foods outside of meat and eggs? holy shit!) and I'm just a fiend for all types of potatoes and feel rather foolish that I went without them for so long.
Interested in zero carb lit? this is a most excellent piece that got me started: Stefansson 1 - Eskimos Prove An All Meat Diet Provides Excellent Health. it's a little lengthy, but worth it.
My two cents: Both lifestyles "work", both are safe (remember I'm talking PRIMAL carbs, real food sources, not fake shit), you can successfully lose weight/build muscle/learn to fly on either. The question is then: which one will you actually be able to live with? For me, that's a diet that includes moderate amounts of carbs whenever I feel like it. Also for the record, my weight has fluctuated between 148-156lbs for the past year, so carbs make little difference for me as far as putting on weight or losing it. I haven't yet tried to "strategically" eat carbs in order to lose body fat, but reading through how it works and seeing the evidence here by some posters I'm confident that it works. I'm just too lazy to plan ahead and actually do it.
Edit: Also, when it comes to brain health, or articles that the body prefers carbohydrates/glucose as a fuel source I fully believe it. This is my as of yet un-researched theory, actually I'm sure everybody either knows this or its been thoroughly documented, but here it is: The body looks upon stored body fat as a precious source of energy. This is why we're so good at getting really fat, our bodies LOVE to store energy. It does NOT want to let go of its energy stores, so it probably does "prefer" glucose because it can then keep holding on to its fat stores for whenever the need arises. Remember that your body isn't conscious of your weight loss efforts, it's blind and deaf, it only knows that it's either going to have to use fatty acids for energy in the absence of a steady carbohydrate supply or it's going to go WEEEE CARBS! and use those instead so that it doesn't have to go into it's energy stores. Us humans, having the know-how can trick our bodies into burning fat, through manipulating insulin/leptin (and that's done by lifting heavy, sprinting, eating moderate carbs if so desired, etc, basically being a good old primal)
So, I don't really care to argue with people that profess carbs are what our bodies prefer. I'm with that. I still don't think carbs are essential, but if you're somebody that likes them, there's no imperative reason why you shouldn't have them.

The body is an amazing thing and can make many adaptations for survival, this does not mean that is the healthiest or best for us. Carbs are needed to function optimally, and many people cutting carbs feel better because they are cutting wheat and grains. Good carbs are a must. And if you even think athletes can last on ketosis or gluconeogenesis you are wrong. It is an adaptation for survival, it is not meant to thrive. Eat your carbs people.
I would add, as I did on my original post: Ask yourself WHY you are low-carbing. If you happen to fall into low-carb ranges but you're eating plenty of vegetables and you feel good, then don't worry about it. If you're like me and experimented with zero-carb because you thought that was going to be the fast-track to weight loss... reconsider, especially if you're within 20-30lbs of your "goal weight". Bigger folks can get away with it longer.

Avoid Tax Audits… Keep Your Books Clean…
Just finished gathering my annual tax information, so taxes are on my mind. It gets shipped out tomorrow to my accountant, who (as a consultant) will do the financial magic.
Years ago my accountant advised me to keep good records and to keep them clean. One never knows when one might be audited. Sometimes it is purely random, and sometimes it is the result of an abnormal condition that flags your return. .
According to a recent news article, 1 % of IRS tax returns are audited. It is slightly higher for small businesses. It seems some business owners can't resist the temptation to fudge the numbers, either through questionable deductions or hiding income.
My advice — do NOT do this! An audit can easily cost you thousands of dollars — fees, lost time, and lost revenues. And while you can deduct the legal/accounting expenses, you can't deduct or recover lost revenues — they are gone forever.
Furthermore, once you fail an audit, expect to be audited again. I know one small business colleague who learned that lesson the hard way. His audits went on for several years.
More advice — use a CPA! Even if you can do the taxes yourself. Nothing like having a CPA (Certified Public Accountant) sign your tax return for credibility with the tax agencies. Or at least signal them that you have a professional tax advisor in your corner.
To keep the costs down, I keep my own books. Nothing fancy here — I used Quicken for years. Although a simple check register system, it can generate various reports. Such as the P&L (profit and loss) statement, which my CPA uses to prepare my taxes.
My CPA has helped in several other ways. Setting up a chart of accounts, sharing general business advice, filing other reports, and providing vetted referrals for insurance and financial management. It has been money well spent.
If you do get audited, don't despair. I've been audited twice — once by the IRS, and once by the great state of Arizona.
The IRS audit was supposedly "random."
The conversation went something like this:
Auditor – Which is better for you? To come into our office next Tuesday or next Wednesday?
Me — Neither. But can my CPA handle this? He prepared the return.
Auditor — Uh… yes… I guess that would work.
I suspect the audit was not random at all. But the issue got resolved, whatever it was.
End of audit.
The Arizona audit was supposedly due to high medical expenses one year.
The conversations went something like this:
Auditor – I need to verify all your medical expenses.
So I sent copies of all the bills.
Auditor – Now I need to verify all your insurance payments.
So I sent copies of all the payments.
Pretty sure the auditor thought I did not save these statements. I also included a list of expenses I had missed — a couple of drug charges, plus mileage for the various medical appointments.
I then asked if I should file an amended return to get money back.
End of audit.
Thanks to a CPA, clean books, and good records, I passed both times. And I didn't lose any sleep over either one. In fact, it felt pretty good to put a stop to any fishing expeditions.
Keep your books clean too — it is just good business to do so!

Do you need a public office???
It depends… If your clients come to your office, it probably makes sense… If you go to your clients, it probably just wastes money.
In the first case, a public office adds a level of professionalism, and keeps you out of trouble with home owners associations or zoning boards. But don't get carried away – a modest space will do just fine for the solo practitioner.
In the second case, a spare bedroom works fine. You should, however, set aside a dedicated space for your office. Working on the dining room table gets old very fast. It can also be disruptive to family life.
Some people, however, simply need a separate place to work – regardless of client contact. And some need the outside human contact that an office brings. This is often true for those migrating from the larger corporate environment.
The most important thing when starting out is to conserve resources. You don't need fancy digs with a prestige address — you just need a safe quiet place to work with adequate resources (desk, computer, telephone, file cabinets, etc.) You are selling your capabilities, not fancy brick and mortar.
Here are some examples I've seen over the years:
(1) Kimmel Gerke Associates (yours truly) – Since we almost never had clients visit us, my business partner and I set up separate offices in spare bedrooms.
While we once considered sharing an office, we were both traveling so much it didn't make sense. Besides, the telephone and the Internet worked fine to stay in contact. And we both liked our twenty foot commutes.
Our "office managers" were our wives, so we truly ran a "mom and pop" operation. Not for everyone, but it worked very well for us.
(2) Advertising – A one person agency, this consultant leased about 100 square feet of space from a print shop. I used her services with good success many years ago after a misfire with a fancy downtown agency. Hire the person, not the office.
That was all the space she needed, plus the shop provided a phone line with a receptionist. It was mutually beneficial, as the print shop now could offer additional services. Besides, she did all her printing with her landlord.
(3) Sales consultant – Another one person firm, this friend leased space in a restaurant, which I found quite clever.
His office had a separate entrance on a lower walk out level. The rent was very attractive, as this was bonus income for the restaurant, and parking was never a problem. And he always had a place to take clients for lunch.
(4) Attorney – My estate attorney is located in building with other small professional firms.
He has about 300 square feet, divided into two rooms. The back room is his legal office, with the appropriate lawyer's desk, credenza, and meeting table. The front room is the reception area with the requisite legal library, with a desk for his office manager (his wife.)
The office is nicely appointed, but not pretentious. His fees reflect the lower overhead too. I discovered him after being gouged by a large law firm with fancy digs and high overhead.
(5) Web design – My web designer is also located in a building with other small firms.
He has about 200 square feet with a couple of desks for he and his office manager (once again, his wife.) He has a back office in Nepal (where he grew up) so this space is modest but more than adequate. He recently became a US citizen, and is doing very well – the classic immigrant success story.
He started out working from home, but with the birth of two children, he got "kicked out" of his office. He is still close to home, but is not distracted by family activities.
(5) Consulting engineer – Now, a not so successful example story from many years ago.
When we started out as consulting engineers, this refugee from a large government agency told us we MUST get an office. After all, HIS office was located downtown with a prestigious address. He even chided us for working out of our homes.
Within the next year, he went bankrupt.
So, as you consider YOUR JumpToConsulting, do YOU need a public office? Weigh the decision carefully. Unless you are seeing outside clients (or you simply need the private space,) I generally advise against it. But if you do decide on a public office, I've shared some clever (and inexpensive) solutions.
Conserve those resources — you can always move to a public office later. Unless you are like me, and just love that twenty foot commute!
P.S. – I once asked a fellow consultant sitting next to me on a cross country flight where he had his office. He looked out the window, grinned, and replied, "Well, today it is about 30,000 feet over Denver…"

How much is enough?
How much IS enough? The question still haunts me…
Here are three stories. All three affected my thinking. Perhaps they will affect yours.
Story 1…
The question of enough was posed by a fellow consultant several years ago. His wife had just been diagnosed with cancer, and we were talking after a professional society meeting. He was doing some serious introspection, and as a friend and colleague I lent an ear.
"How much is enough?" he mused. He had worked hard, was successful, and had enough in the bank. His immediate priority was enjoying whatever time his wife might have.
So he backed off on the business, and they went on some cruises. She responded well to treatment, and happily, she is fine today. But it did reset his priorities on what was enough.
Story 2…
My first encounter with enough goes back 45 years. My new boss hosted a Christmas party at his new house on a lake. It was a beautiful place in a beautiful setting. Being recently married, I thought how nice it might be to someday have similar digs.
Later, I thanked him for the party and complimented him on his new house. He smiled, and then offered some fatherly advice.
"Thank you," he said. "It is nice. It makes my wife happy too. But there is a downside. We put all our money in the house, and as a result, we can't do anything else." He continued, "You are just starting out. Be careful about committing to a big fancy house."
I decided that our modest house was enough. Each time we moved we stuck with enough. And today we have still have enough.
Story 3…
My next encounter with enough came 12 years later. I was working for a successful entrepreneur, who net worth somewhere around $50 million.
An old German who had escaped Hitler, he came to America and worked as an engineer. Following a dream, he started a business in a garage. A combination of working hard and being in the right place at the right time with the right product led to phenomenal success.
But he was still an old engineer at heart. One evening at a trade show, he hosted a bunch of us for dinner. After a few beers (after all, he was an old German), the subject of how much was enough came up.
He said, "You know, a couple of million is probably enough for most of us. How can you spend it all? After that, you are only keeping score."
Sadly, he and his wife divorced on his way to his riches. Was it worth it? Not in my book.
Finally, how much is enough for you? Thanks to starting my own consulting practice combined with prudent living, today I can say I have enough.
P.S. Now back in Arizona. Had fun on our RV trip, but always good to be home.

Small town living – a path to financial independence?
Here is a reply I left recently at my favorite financial blog, Mr. Money Mustache. Pete, a fellow engineer, spent the last several years challenging and cajoling people to become financially independent.
He "retired" at age 30, and now does what he wants with no financial worries. Lives a nice lifestyle in nice digs, too.
His formula is simple — cut consumption and increase savings. When your income from investments equals your expenses — viola — you are now financially independent. He did it in seven years, and you can too.
So what does this have to do with consulting? You don't need to be fully financially independent to make your JumpToConsulting, but you DO need some reserves. Assume at least six months with no income.
So if you are overconsuming and living pay check to pay check. you can't make a JumpToConsulting, or any other jump. You first need to cut your expenses and change your mindset and your lifestyle!
One way to do this is to move to a small town. That is what my older son (the inspiration for this blog) did this year. Here is his story:
Don't overlook small towns – particularly those about 100-150 miles from a major city.
After living in the city, my older son recently moved to a small town in Minnesota – population 5000. About 100 miles from Minneapolis, it is beyond commuting distance so it is no longer a suburb. But it still close enough for city resources (hospitals etc.) or a big city "fix" if needed.
They bought a nice house for 1/2 the cost in the city. The grade school and a park are across the street, and the high school is a few blocks away. The kids love it – they can bike all over town with their new friends. His commute is under ten minutes of country driving. His wife works in the high school as a teacher's aide, and loves it.
They were concerned about leaving the city, but have been pleasantly surprised. Small town festivals –wineries — microbreweries — parks with uncrowded campgrounds. It may be rural, but there is still plenty to do. And the big city is still only two hours away.
Looking for a job change, he stumbled – almost by accident – on an executive opportunity with a small medical manufacturer. The company was delighted to get someone with his talent and experience, and they pay him accordingly. The school was delighted to hire his wife too. Big city wages with small town cost of living — how great is that? Plus the quality of life.
These opportunities abound, but you must seek them out. So if you are not yet financially independent, consider this as one way to speed things up — and enjoy the journey immediately. My son admits he never dreamed they would live like this.
A few more details on my son. After taking a company through a complex acquisition, he no longer had a job. Small thanks for helping grow the firm by 10x in a couple of years as their financial guru.
So he took his MBA in finance, his experience, and his proceeds and hung out his shingle as a consultant. The early discussions with him were the catalyst for this blog.
Although he was building the business, it was going slower than hoped. When one of his clients make him an offer he couldn't refuse as the VP of Finance for a start-up, he jumped at it. Besides, like his dad, he has a love of small business.
But after a couple of years, it became obvious the start-up was stalling. Furthermore, there was friction with the founder, who was unwilling or unable to make necessary changes. (Been there myself.) So rather than wait for the axe to fall, he started a job search.
One interesting opportunity was with a medical device manufacturer in a rural community. As both he and his wife grew up in the city, there was some reluctance to purse it. Still, the job sounded interesting, so they decided to go in a new direction. So far, so good.
I'm proud of my son for taking that chance, and for working hard, like a good consultant, to make a positive impact on the world.
I'm also proud of his brother. A financial attorney in a large Manhattan firm, he recently took a chance and initiated a special project on alternate currencies. As their "Bitcoin-guru", he too is working very hard to make a positive impact on the world.
Well done, both of you!
P.S. Thanks to the Internet and Fed-X, one can easily consult from small towns. And depending on your niche, you may even find plenty of clients right in you own backyard.

Should you take equity in lieu of cash?
Here is a reply to a post by Michael Zipursky over at Consulting Success, where Michael discusses the pros and cons (mostly cons) of accepting equity or shares as payment for services.
Either way, both Michael and I do NOT recommend this.
I completely agree! Never took stock, nor did I ever agree to work for free on proposals, with the idea that I would get the business if the company won the project (sometimes suggested by defense contractors.)
If asked, I simply explain that I'm too small to carry anyone for free. Better to pursue paying jobs than to lose opportunities being tied up with freebies. Besides, if they really need you they will find the money.
While I have a soft spot in my heart (or maybe my head) for startups, I've avoided them and pursued Fortune 1000 clients instead. Even then I've been burned (bankruptcies), but only twice in 28 years. Great post!
As a new consultant, you will run into this sooner or later, particularly with smaller firms. Some are strapped for cash — probably not good clients anyway. Others may be testing you — assuming you are hungry for business.
Neither are a good deal. Better to focus your time on real paying prospects.
Remember, you are a professional, just like your dentist or doctor. Very doubtful they would go for this either.

Some comments on fees…
Here is my reply to a post at Consulting Success regarding fees. Good info on this site — but with an emphasis on business/management consulting rather than on technical consulting.
As consulting engineers, we've used "project fees" for years. When quoting, we provide a budget and a general estimate for time. We use an internal hourly rate for estimates, but don't include that in our quotes.
To me, hourly rates are useless. For example, if I'm getting a kitchen remodel, I don't care what the contractor's hourly rate is — I just want to know how much the project will cost. BTW, I've used that analogy on procurement people when asked about hourly rates.
Finally, we don't bid "fixed fee." Rather, we include a statement that "we will not exceed the budgetary estimate without client approval." This gives us some room for contingencies or small changes. Clients and procurement people seem to like it too.
Hope this helps. I always appreciate Michael Zipursky's insights.
Do you have questions of fees? Ask away…
P.S. Been a crazy week here, as Mary broke her arm. On the mend after surgery…

Rating your clients…
Do you treat all clients the same? That question was posed recently on Succeed, a small business forum on LinkedIn. Always ready to share my opinions, here is the answer I posted there.
Like so many have said already, we strive to treat all our clients with respect. But in reality, some clients are better than others.
So, we divide our clients into three categories: A, B, and C.
Everybody starts out on the "A- list", regardless of income potential. Size doesn't matter. We've had small clients turn into large clients and/or great referral sources.
— Those who pay promptly and are pleasant stay on the A-list.
–Those who pay late drop to the B-list.
–Those who pay REALLY late or are difficult in other ways drop to the C-list.
Since much of our business is repeat business, it helps us prioritize our responses. Most of our clients are a sincere pleasure to work with. As for very few who are not — well, life is too short to put up with them.
Some further clarification. Just because they look like a good client does not make them one. Over the years, we've had to move a couple of well known companies to the C-List. Usually the problem lies with the bean-counters, not our direct clients. But getting paid on time is important – and it shows appreciation and respect for your work!
Take care of your GOOD clients — and they will take care of you!

Consulting as a Path to Financial Independence – Part II…
In my last post, I discussed how consulting eventually led me to Financial Independence. The primary focus was prior to making my JumpToConsulting. In this post, I'll elaborate on things done at and after my break for freedom.
First, I put away a startup stash. This is key, as there is nothing worse than having to give up too soon because you've run out of money. In my case, I had enough for six months with no revenue, or a year with half revenue.
Although I was pretty sure I'd make it this time (after a false start a few years earlier), a safety net still made sense. That also made Mrs. JTC more comfortable, although she was behind me right from the start. Plus as an engineer, it is always good to have a Plan B.
As it turned out, we never really needed to dig into the startup stash. Thanks to all the plans and a couple of startup contracts, we ran in the black right from the start. And although I stepped out first, my business partner was able to join me in a few months.
Next, we watched our income/outgo like a couple of hawks. No fancy offices – we both used spare bedrooms in our homes. No fancy cars either. Neither were really necessary, as most of our business was on-site, and often out of town.
Each month we would review both our bookings and our billings. The latter is really important for cash flow. Unfortunately, clients often delay paying (particularly their smaller vendors), so you need to stay on top of your the payables.
We did spend money on necessities, such as collateral (business cards, brochures, etc.) but even then we did not overspend. No fancy multicolor brochures — just two colors (blue and gray) on gray stock. We did hire a graphics artist for a logo and typesetting, and it all turned out very professional looking.
After two years, we set up retirement accounts. By that time, we knew we were going to make it, and the income was more predictable. Our accountant suggested Keogh plans, which let us put away up to 25% of our income in tax deferred accounts.
To even out the personal cash flow, we both drew modest salaries – about 80% of our previous corporate salaries. This forced us to be frugal, and helped maintain a cushion in the business account for slow months. It also assured that the Keogh funds would be available at year end.
Any additional profits were distributed as a bonus. Since we were a Subchapter S corporation, these were not "retained earnings" so we paid taxes on the bonus. These funds were put into our regular savings/investments.
At our accountant's advice, we eventually hired a "fee only" financial advisor. Good thing we did — when the market went sour, he minimized our losses. That lets us focus on making money, while he manages it. Like us, he is a professional who knows his stuff and does his job well. We consider it money well spent.
A word of caution! You need to discuss these issues with financial professionals – your accountant, attorney, and financial advisor (if you have one.) The laws are constantly changing, and unless you are a financial professional yourself, you need their advice. The last thing you need is to tangle with the IRS.
Finally, we didn't win the lottery — our incomes were comparable with corporate salaries for engineers, plus a reasonable profit for our risk. It was the combination of regular savings in the tax deferred retirement plan plus self-enforced frugality that eventually led to Financial Independence.
You can do it too, and you don't need to be a consultant. But you do need to exercise some financial discipline and planning. Trust me, it is worth it! Good luck…

Consulting as Path to Financial Independence…
Since it is the Fourth of July, a rant on independence seemed appropriate. After all, it was my overwhelming desire for Occupational Independence that got me into consulting in the first place.
When I started my consulting practice, I was NOT Financially Independent (FI) — which I define as being able to quit one's job and live off one's investments. That came later. But the consulting practice put me on the path to FI.
There are two ways to achieve FI — save/invest more, and spend less. When your investment proceeds equal or exceed your cost of living — viola — you have become FI.
That doesn't necessarily mean you quit working — but it does man you no longer need to do so. It happened to me after about ten years in my own business. One day, reviewing my finances, I realized I was there. Trust me, it is a great feeling!
With a wife, two kids, and a mortgage I had been locked into a job like so many others. As an engineer, the job was good and paid well. But having grown up less than affluent (my dad died when I was a teenager) I had learned to be frugal. For somewhat similar reasons, so had my wife.
No, we were not paupers. We lived in nice houses, but they were always less expensive — and ostentatious — than many of our peers. We drove decent cars, but most were used — and we drove them into the ground.
We took fun vacations, but many were with a used tent camper — no expensive ski trips or cruises for us. (We did go to Hawaii and Disneyland a couple of times — on free frequent flyer tickets.)
We remodeled, repaired, gardened, and generally had a good time. Because education was important to us, we sent both kids to college, where they graduated debt free. Savings, scholarships, part time jobs, and state universities all helped there.
We did stash other money away. At first, it was not enough to become fully independent. But it was enough to make my own JumpToConsulting in 1987. I figured the start-up stash would last six months with no income, and a year or more with any business at all.
As it turned out, the stash was more than enough. As an aside, I had tried this once before, without enough stashed away. After three months, I threw in the towel and went back to work at a regular job. The second time, however, I was better prepared (and wiser for having tried the first time.) More details here.
Starting any business (consulting or otherwise) does focus you financially. Resources are scarce, and you can't squander them. You carefully evaluate purchases, and you make tradeoffs. You do NOT waste money!
Incidentally, Warren Buffet did the same thing — even as a child he often traded spending a dollar today for ten dollars in the future. I guess he has done OK.
On a smaller scale, Mr. Money Mustache (a fellow engineer) retired at age 30 by following the same practices. Actually, he didn't really retire — he now just does what he wants to when he wants to, but with no financial worries.
Hop over to his blog to learn more –– lot's of good practical advice backed up with engineering data and mathematical "rules of thumb."
- I particularly like his Rule of 752 — save a dollar a week today, and in ten years you will have $752. For monthly expenses, use 173.
- Another rule – save 50% of your income — and retire in 17 years. Better yet, save 75% and retire in 7 years, which is what MMM did. Yes, it is doable – you just need to do it. (Kind of like dieting… down 20# here in the last six weeks… perhaps a future post?)
Finally, consulting is just one of many paths to achieve FI. By being financially prudent, living beneath your means, and stashing away as much as you can, you too can become Financially Independent.
Happy Independence Day! Start today, and you'll get there a day sooner than if you wait until tomorrow!
P.S. See more details in the next post – Financial Independence – Part II .

Question on Referral Fees…
Should you pay referral fees? That question was recently posted at LinkedIn on the Business Consulting Buzz group:
Referral Fees for Independent Consultants?
Interested in your opinions: As an independent Consultant, would you be willing to pay and/or receive referral fees?
Here is my reply:
As consulting engineers, we are concerned that referral fees might be perceived as conflicts of interest. As such, we do not accept (nor pay) any fees from the vendors serving our technical community.
When asked for vendor recommendations, we give clients at least two. If asked for our preference, we will share that with an explanation. Our vendors understand that no fee is expected, but we hope that the courtesy of a recommendation will be reciprocated.
We do, however, pay a referral fee to marketing partners for consulting business. These currently include a manufacturer's rep (we are on their line card), and a training firm (we are in their catalog.) We also have agreement letters in place.
The percentages vary from 10 to 30% of the fee, depending on the effort. 10% is for a qualified lead that we pursue/close; 20% for a purchase order; and 30% for collecting the payment and sending us a check for our share. We pay referrals only when we get paid, and only on the fee (not expenses, as we do not mark up client expenses.)
Also, we don't partner with consulting colleagues. We tried sub-contracting for a while, but it was more hassle than it was worth. When appropriate, we simply pass along leads with no strings attached. We make sure our clients understand that no money changes hands on referrals, and that we are out of the loop. In other words, we passed along a name — please make your own business decisions.
Hope this helps. Feel free to contact me. Been at this consulting gig 30+ years, happy to share, and still learning…
If you are on LinkedIn, you may want to join this group. If you are not on LinkedIn, what are you waiting for? LinkedIn is where the professionals hang out.

Week three of the QSC was on Monday this week and as I had expected it was about List building. If you have been following my posts on the challenge you will recall that last week's challenge was about making videos. As I learned from many of the members in the group creating a video was the one thing that really defined the word challenge for them. Well, this week List building is defining the word challenge for me.
You see I have known for a long time now that list building is a very important part of building a successful business online. I actually have tried it a few times but failed woefully all the times. By following this challenge, I actually do understand now why I did fail in building a list. Now I can take hours writing about the excuses and unfulfilled promises I kept on saying to myself that all resulted to my failure, but every one of the reasons came down to one point and one point only "Focus". So I will not waste you time with all the details, instead I will like to share with you what I have been learning about autoresponders which is the main tool for list building.
What is an autoresponder and why is it important to grow your business
Contents for Are you using the right Autoresponder for your business?
- 1 What is an autoresponder and why is it important to grow your business
- 2 Pricing Plan For the most commonly used Autoresponders
An autoresponder is a computer program that automatically answers e-mails sent to it. The first mail responders were created within mail transfer agents that found they could not deliver an e-mail to a given address. I did not know how they were created, just picked it up from Wikipedia as I was doing my research on this topic.
If you ask any top affiliate marketers or online marketers, they all will tell you, if you want to make good, steady and passive income online you'll need some form of a mail responder. It simply helps you market effectively.
How does Auto-responders work?
Here are just a few thing you can use an autoresponder for, to build your relationship with your readers and as a result bust your marketing efforts online.
Autoresponders are used by online marketers to send out emails ranging from the first welcome sequence for new subscribers, to conducting their market research by sending out surveys and interactive content. Some marketers out there have started to miss use it too by sending only promotional content to their subscribers. A couple of promotional content now and then is Ok but some are just basically spamming the leads with it which is not cool at all but that is just my opinion.
Remember, every time you send your readers a piece of useful content, you deepen the relationship with them. They start knowing, liking, and trusting you even better. When they feel they already know like and trust you recommending a product to them makes the process a breeze.
What to look for in an Autoresponder
Before my research this week I tried to evaluate different autoresponder features.I had no idea which features to look for in an autoresponder. They all kind of sound the same to me. So if you are in the same situation right now here are 4 important features you should be looking for in an autoresponder.
First you want to make sure it has the potential of delivering your email effectively to your readers because that is the only way you can start building that relationship with your reader and may be making some money from them along the line.
Sometimes using autoresponders can be a little intimidating and frustrating for newbies. That can range from setting up a simple campaign to actually copying the code generated from the service and pasting it where you want on your website. What I have also noticed is that not all autoresponder services do allow transferring of contact from another service. At least not without you sending another confirmation mail to the contacts who had already confirmed to get in your list. So it is wise to check for those services which are not complicated to use and will allow you transfer your contacts if you already have one without you ask every single person on your list to confirm their email address again.
Tracking the emails you send out will help you make smart decisions concerning your business. With no tracking device or a means to import one, you will just be doing a guess work and we all know guessing is not a good practice when doing business.
Getting leads on your list is not as easy as many will want you to believe. It can take quite a while to build and grow your list. Paying for the responder service every month without you getting any leads make the whole list building process even worst. This was one of my drawbacks when it came to list building online in the beginning. There are autoresponder services out there that can get the basic job done for a relatively cheap price. Here below are the pricing plan for the most common ones that marketers use.
Pricing Plan For the most commonly used Autoresponders
|Benchmark Email
|Vertical Response
I f you already have an autoresponder you will want to Check out the awesome secrets revealed in 5 Killer Funnel Tips! (Free Download No Optin needed)
Which autoresponder service am I using? You may be wondering. Well, after taking all the above features into consideration and looking at where I want to take my business to I decided to go with Getresponse. I think it is worth mentioning too that at Getresponse when they say your first 30 days are free that means they do not ask for any credit card info just a genuine and honest 30-day free trial. Something that the others do not do.
For those who have been following my progress on the QSC , as you already know this weeks challenge was to create an opt-in form. Here is mine, I created a sidebar opt-in form which you can find at the top right-hand side of this post as well as a squeeze page which you can find here
He is also doing this so you and again his mother can use it to make money online. He thinks this is the only way to proof that this is a legit business.

Super Yacht To Sail the Seven Seas
As the old saying goes, if you have to ask how much it costs you can't afford it.
That certainly applies to Adastra, a luxury yacht that incorporates a plethora of new designs that are pushing the state-of-the-art for long range-cruising. Designed and built by John Shuttleworth Yacht Designs, West Sussex, England, the boat is capable of cruising at 17 knots and traveling 4,000 miles.
It's interesting that its name is a Latin phrase that originated with Virgil when he wrote in the Aeneid, sic itur ad astra (thus you shall go to the stars). In fact, the yacht, a trimaran, looks more like a spaceship than a boat. Conventional trimarans are clunky looking creatures with a main hull bracketed by two outrigger hulls, resembling a very large water spider. But Adastra looks like an arrow.
What's of interest to those of us involved in digital manufacturing is the fully integrated design process described in an article in Product Design & Development. (For you traditionalists, be assured that tank testing and model building also figure into the equation.)
Complex Digital Design Process
Initial hand sketches are translated into a rough design in AutoCAD. Next a duo of naval architecture and structural CAD software packages are used by the Shuttleworth engineers to model a preliminary hull shape. They analyze stability and strength, and then the model is imported back into AutoCAD for further development. But this is just the beginning.
Next the 2D plans, profile and 3D hull design are imported into Siemens NX 7.5 PLM software to develop a preliminary 3D model. Rendering software is employed to develop photo-real images of Adastra so the team can further refine the styling.
This is when FEA enters the picture. The results of the finite element analysis are exported to NEi Nastran for number crunching. Then on to post-processing, a full weight study, and more adjustments to the hull. Once the final hull is defined, the data is re-imported into the Siemens software to create a complete deck and hull model suitable for CNC (computer numerical control) tool manufacturing.
One more FEA analysis to make sure the vessel is completely structually sound and then back to AutoCAD to create the final plans used to build the boat — which will be made, you guessed it, in China. This is happening at McConaghy Yachts in Zhuhai.
And then, it's on to the stars.

2 districts get new leaders this year
There will be two new faces for Seneca East Local Schools and Lakota Local Schools as they start the new school year today.
Laura Kagy and Jon Detwiler are coming in as new superintendents for the districts, each having begun their educational careers as teachers.
Kagy is to join the administrative team of Seneca East, replacing Michael Wank. Kagy came from Clyde-Green Springs Exempted Village Schools, where she served as interim superintendent.
She said she has lived in the area for years, and her children have gone to Seneca East and thought that it would be the best fit for her and her family.
"The staff has made it a smooth transition for me," Kagy said. "The work really hasn't changed, just the venue."
Kagy began in the Tiffin City Schools District as a teacher and then as a building principal. She then moved to Clyde as a principal and from there moved to the central office.
"Each position has its rewarding qualities," she said. "As a teacher, you get to see the children's faces and see how they are impacted, where as a principal you see how the building as a whole is impacted."
For Seneca East, Kagy said that there isn't much to change, just to work in implementing the new education initiatives in Ohio, such as common core standards, teacher evaluation systems and online testing.
"Seneca East is to also begin implementing the 1-1 initiative, where students in grades 9-12 are to receive Think Pads for their classes," Kagy said. "The students will be able to access their textbooks from the technology and at some point they will be able to begin to submit assignments electronically."
So far Kagy said she has been able to meet a few parents and students at open houses.
"It is important to get out there and meet the community," Kagy said.
Detwiler has been involved in education for 23 years. He began as a science teacher for Fremont City Schools at Otis Elementary and at Fremont Middle School. He later became the assistant principal for the middle school and then the principal at McPherson Elementary School in Clyde.
Detwiler said he was ready for the change and thought the best change would be to go to Lakota as the district's superintendent.
"I always wanted to be a superintendent of a district, and living in the area, I knew Lakota was the best choice for me," Detwiler said.
With living in the area, Detwiler said he was able to vote for the levy for the new building that was built in 2011.
"For the district, I hope to bring a positive energy," Detwiler said. "I hope to continue the increasing academic scores and to take advantage of the great programs and staff and to provide a step up for success."
Detwiler said he plans to go out into the community and get to know the families and students and to explore what is next.
