#ArticleOfTheDay: Does Pharrell know something we don’t about happiness?

Leave a reply

You know Pharrell Williams, he sings the “Happy” song. He’s also a coach on The Voice. I am always amazed when I see him in interviews: he is calm, composed, and exudes happiness.

#ArticleOfTheDay: New Appreneurs: How to Control Costs on Your First App!

Leave a reply

If you are a regular reader of this blog, you know that I am an #appreneur (an entrepreneur Cost Savings for your first appthat focuses on app development) and am working on bringing my first app to the Apple App Store (coming very soon).

I just stumbled on this article and found it to be very accurate. I wrote a blog a while ago about getting the best price from your developer and this article is a good companion to that.

Written by Jeff Williams, today’s article addresses the things a new appreneur should think about when it comes to hiring someone to develop their app. I especially agree with point #1 — it is really easy to “gold plate” your app. Gold Plating is when you add too many features to your app where it dilutes the user friendliness of your app, so be very careful with that.

#ArticleOfTheDay: 6 Qualities That All Great Leaders Exhibit (by Lily Jenkins)

Leave a reply

Today’s article was written by Lily Jenkins, she nails the qualities of a great leader. A lot of people believe that leadership is a naturalized trait given at birth. I don’t really subscribe to that idea. Sure, some people innately have leadership skills and some are more extroverted than others. But leadership skills can certainly be learned — I’ve mentored many leaders during my time in the corporate world and it is very satisfying to see leadership skills take form and grow.

I don’t want to steal Lily’s thunder but my favorite quality she listed is “Great leaders pave the way for others to succeed“. Ready to read the entire article?  Alrighty, here it is: 6 Qualities That All Great Leaders Exhibit (by Lily Jenkins).

#AppOfTheDay: Shopping List Free (Grocery List)

1 Reply

Today’s App of the Day is Shopping List Free (Grocery List) by Hensoft. I don’t know about you, but before going to the grocery store, I like to make a list and check off the list as I go. I used to do that with paper and pen but I find it easier to have it on my iPhone and check them off as I am shopping.

Once I started looking for a Shopping List app, I stumbled on to the Shopping List Free app. The app is free and it is very easy to use. Simply create a Shopping List, add items and as you are in the store, simply tap each item to check it off the list.

Once you are done, you can clear the check boxes to reuse the list again later. It also remembers all of the items in the list and you can create a new list from an existing one by selecting them instead of having to type them all in again.

#ArticleOfTheDay: Yeah, My Life is Awesome! I’m a Rock Star. You Should Take Notes (by Lesley Carter)

Leave a reply

Today’s Article was written by Lesley Carter, a blogger that I have mad respect for. I have been following her blog for about a year now and reading about all of her travels to cool and unique destinations. Her blog is Bucket List Publications — at the beginning of each year she makes a list of bucket list items to check off by the end of the year. She normally completes her bucket list in the 4th quarter of each year.

Her latest blog was really inspiring. It unveiled raw emotions about her life, her struggles and how haters on the internet attempt to derail your happiness.

Without further ado, here is Lesley’s blog entitled “Yeah, My Life is Awesome! I’m a Rock Star. You Should Take Notes“: http://bit.ly/ZUbxF8
