A couple of teasers of the bigger, better and brighter honeydo.com. . .
After our pilot, we've been busy working under the hood (and on it for that matter) to incorporate user feedback. To that end, we're making it easier to navigate and ultimately make it the easiest tool to help you get stuff done. If you have any comments, insight or suggestions, please let us know and drop us a line or a tweet!
This came across my email the other day. Not only is it good for laugh, but it made me wonder: How many times a day across the country does stuff like this happen?
Never underestimate the power of Common Sense as a good mental foundation.
These
contractors are installing the steel pillars in concrete to stop
vehicles from parking on the pavement outside a Sports Bar downtown.
They are now in the process of cleaning up at the end of the day and
anxious to go home.
How
long do you think it will be before they realize where they
parked?
Most of us can just photocopy our personal resolution list from last year:
But have you ever made a business resolution list? Maybe there are a few of you running small businesses that absolutely hit it of the park last year, congratulations, you're in the minority.
For the rest of us we could use a little time for reflection and even dust off the ol' business plan. Remember a business plan is SUPPOSED to fucntion as a dynamic document, evolving to account for the current and future climate of business. Think of it as your Constitution that has its own Amendments.
What can you improve on as a business owner?
Don't miss this perfect opportunity over the next couple of weeks to make those resolutions.
Thin your waistline and fatten your bottom line.
Sometimes as a business owner you're in the trenches, alone. We hope
to change that as you listen to others that share your same thoughts
and emotions and offer up some new twists on old challenges!
Today we're announcing our new podcast series. Honeydo.com is going to be interviewing small service business owners and digging into what makes them tick; why they've been successful, what challenges them, how did they get into the business and what they're passionate about. Hopefully this series will answer some of the questions other service related business owners have and even start a spark for someone looking to take the leap.

We're looking for new interviewees for this series as well, so if you have a story to tell or know someone how does we would love to hear from them. Just click on the email link to the right.
The Florida House Learning Center is the result of hard work and collaboration between countless organizations, businesses, government agencies and individuals. Examples abound of various green efforts from a green yard (don't say it) to efficient "guts" like plumbing and energy features.
Yes it's a model home, but exploring how you might incorporate some of the options into your home might yield some great benefits in the long run.
-For example having incorporated green landscaping means less time spent doing one of the most dreaded tasks. . . cutting the grass.
Some Facts:
Going green doesn't always mean spending more.
After many months and some missteps in development, honeydo.com is pushing the Launch Button. This project has been an incredible learning experience…the hard
way. We certainly have a long way yet to
go, but the launch is at least a measurable milestone the company history. Hopefully, we will look back on this one day
and laugh and celebrate the first major step in the journey.
Since the Inception of the Honeydo.com idea in 2007, Ted and I have learned more than a little about the adage “What you don’t know won’t hurt you!” WRONG. What you don’t know can not only hurt you, but can put the very core of your plan at risk. Hopefully, with the addition of Jeff Douglas to help guide us around the technical quicksand, we can stay on dry ground and move a lot faster from here on.
Honeydo.com was our private vision during this period and we’ve got a lot of pent-up exuberance. With the launch, we want to begin to shape the vision and direction with lots of input from the community. At the core, our goal is to add measurable value to the community we serve. How will we do that? First we will do it by providing connections for Providers and Customers that deliver on the promises made. We will do it with a less expensive and more efficient way to acquire and deliver services, one that is disruptive to the traditional media channels for marketing and promotion. Much like the online dating services have eliminated the “Blind date”, Honeydo.com will eliminate the “Blind stab” at picking a provider. We will also try to help the “hapless” by having experts and experienced community members provide tips and guidance for Do-It-Yourselfers of all kinds. Finally (and very important in this struggling economy), we will give lots of folks the opportunity to use their skills and education to create a new business. A business that finally allows them to do something they are passionate about, and make them independent of the 9-5 grind working for someone else.
If any of this touches one of your own “hot” buttons, climb aboard and help us make the journey fun and rewarding for all.
