I employ a practice (sometimes more regularly than at others), of writing down a “story” about how my upcoming week will be.

I write the story from the perspective of looking back on Friday. I include all of the various domains in my life – relationships, business, health, etc. I write down the things that if completed, will move our commitments forward.

When Friday comes, I usually have a call with a committed colleague to report in to. We help keep each other on track regarding our “stories”.

This week’s story includes getting familiar with our BlogTalk Radio Show. We have the capacity (but not yet the skill), to create audio content to compliment Nutrition News.

We’re developing the Consumer’s Guide To Purchasing Nutritional Supplements. This Guide is the back story to how multiple global industries are impacting your ability to enjoy Optimal Health. This Guide will expand your ability to play and win your personal“Is It Healthy?” Game.

The Guide will cover the Safety, Efficacy and the Quality of nutritional supplements. We’ll distinguish Natural vs. Synthetic, Organic vs. Genetically Modified, Delivery Systems and Raw Material Supply Chains – (think contaminated pet food).

We’ll also cover the Policies and Practices that are designed to insure the Safety, Efficacy and Quality of nutritional supplements.

We’re going to do a lot of interviews. We’re talking to scientists, regulators, agency directors, industry experts and doctors. We’re asking them what are the Critical Points they want you the consumer, to know about the nutritional products you might be using or thinking about using.

This Guide is the back story to a rapidly growing global industry. It will compliment what we do in each issue of Nutrition News. In Nutrition News, we discusses the “What To Take”, “Why We Take Them”, and the “How Much” and “When To Take Nutritional Supplements”.

This Guide will expand the context of your own “Is It Healthy?” Game. After reading it, you will be knowledgeable, confident and powerful when making health choices.

You’ll be well on your way to winning your “Is It Healthy?” Game.

Affiliate links are part of our strategy to bring added value to our visitors. It’s so fitting that our first affiliate link is the Authority Site Center. It’s added to AboutNutritionNews.com, home of The “Is It Healthy?” Game and to this blog.

The next step is to add the image blocks and send out some selected e-mails.

We have lots of domain names registered. Since we didn’t know to have them point to our website, we don’t know if any of them generated any traffic or not.

Spent a little time Editing the DNS of most of our domains. This will be our first stat. We’ll begin tracking url traffic each week.

Also took advantage of a great video tutorial on the Authority Site Center
This is a community of creative and exceptionally talented internet marketers and site developers share freely and generously.

The video tutorial was about how to back up our website to our own server.
I had been worrying about how to back up and I was going to figure it out and make make the video. Turns out, they were way ahead of me. The training videos and tutorials are just amazing.

I’m such a newbie at this stuff, I had no idea what to do and didn’t want to make a mistake. After keeping that secret for a couple of weeks, I talked about it, and within moments, I saw the link to the video by David Olsen and a screen shot explanation of each step in the process by tecHead

Now that’s complete! I’m thrilled to have a reliable and simple procedure to add to our operating state.

Today’s gift was a successful credit card transaction using our CyberSource account.

After a little tweaking, it finally worked. Fabulous customer support from Connor.

Can’t wait to see how it moves thorough the NetSuite AR and bank recs. One step closer to documented processes and systems.
