Upwork: Tackling Your List

Posted by TME on in Platform

Upwork is a very popular platform that millions of freelancers have use to get extra work that is being offered by professionals and corporations. It’s also true that many can struggle with getting everything done in the amount of time they desire. Its from this activity that most never finish tasks that are due. There are some things you can do to speed up your work load and be successful. Here are 10 tips that could be a game changer for you if you seek to finish any to-do list in record time.

Capturing the Tasks

Don’t fall for that fact that we all can remember everything we need to do. There is such a thing called the Zeigernik Effect where we simply keep a running log of the incomplete tasks in our mind. Its encouraged that all freelancers who are facing a long list of tasks that they write everything down on paper. Avoid trying to remember what needs to be done, but instead capture all tasks in a well-organized list.

Advance Prep

Our energy is the strongest in the morning and this is the time we excel the most. In order to make sure you are at your best and your list is doable, you must consider creating a list before you go to bed. Further, look at all of your tasks and pick which one you want to start with as you prepare your day.

All in one place

We are all at fault when it comes to keeping our tasks all over the place. This can include post-it notes stuck on the fridge or on various applications. In order to be successful in completing your work, you should keep everything in one place. Find an application or software task creator and start there. You don’t want to find yourself having to check various sources to know what you need to do. Use one tool to make things easier for yourself.

For those looking for more work outside their regular jobs, Upwork can be a great platform. Many freelancers have registered with the company to take on work offered by businesses on a global scale.

Betsy Devos

Posted by TME on in Politics

There appear to be two different sides of Betsy DeVos’ personality. What you see depends on who you are. Take for example the incident that predated President Trump rescinding federal policy which allowed transgender students to use the restrooms that matched their gender identity

 

Before the public announcement, Ms. DeVos met with a representative for gay and transgender employees at the education department. She wanted to give them a heads up on the ruling which was about to come down. An aide told the employee that Ms. DeVos had fought the move. However, in public, her feelings were not quite as clear. There was no public sign that she disagreed with the administration’s decision, and is on the record as stating the earlier federal guidelines were a result of the Obama administration’s overreach.

 

People who know Ms. DeVos indicate that this is typical of her methodology. She will not fight publically, in fact, she is often seen as a very gracious figure. She is, however, a relentlessly effective fighter, using the combination of her driven personality and her family’s fortune to work behind the scenes, rewarding those who further her agenda, punishing those who get in her way and supporting lawmakers who will pass legislation that supports her efforts.

 

DeVos came into her current position with no experience working for the government and a very light history with the president. The upper levels of the Education Department were largely vacant. Both her fans and foes have no concerns about her quickly getting up to speed. She has often been underestimated, which is to the detriment of her opponent. Her personable public persona hides the underlying grit she has used to build her success.

 

Ms. DeVos grew up in Holland, MI, the daughter of a businessman who built his fortune in auto parts. Her brother, Erik Prince, founded Blackwater, the private security firm that provides contractor services in Afghanistan and Iraq. DeVos’s husband is even more wealthy, his father is the founder of Amway.

 

DeVos’s opponents have complained of her lack of experience in public schools and colleges. Both her and her husband, as well as her children, had private educations. Ms. DeVos has spent 30 years working to build support for charter schools and to allow individuals to use public funds to pay for private schools, including religious schools, in the form of vouchers.

 

Largely due to MS. DeVos’ work, Detroit has the largest concentration of charter schools in the United States, many of which are underperforming and chaotic. The public school system, affected by the siphoning of funds, has continued its downward spiral. She was confirmed by the Senate to head the Education Department by a vote of 1-50, with the Vice President casting the deciding vote.

Posted by TME on in Company, Innovative, Security

There are many data storage providers in the world today. Therefore, the competition has never been greater for companies that are trying to break into this very lucrative industry. Businesses need to trust the company they are paying to store their data. They need to know that it will not be tampered with in any way while it is being stored. Therefore, it is tough for new data storage companies to gain the confidence of new customers when they do not already have an established track record. CloudWick has managed to defy the odds by gaining a very large amount of customers in a short period of time. This is due to the high quality of service that they provide to their customers.

CloudWick founder Maninder Chhabra admits that he was a little nervous when he first launched the company. He said the hardest thing about making a company a success is getting the general public to find out about it when there is so much competition to choose from. He believes that developing the technology that his company uses was the easiest part of the process. Fortunately, he hired a good marketing team that was able to utilize social media to get the word out about what CloudWick does and how they are different from all of the other data storage companies that are out there.

One of the things that Maninder Chhabra credits for the rapid rise of CloudWick is the fact that they take great care of their customers. This has caused their customers to recommend the company’s services to their colleagues. This has resulted in rapid growth that otherwise would not have occurred. There is no substitute for great service. This is the mission statement of CloudWick.

Another key factor that has helped the company get to where it is today is their innovative technology. They always pay attention to what all of their competitors are doing. They then start to plan projects around beating their competitors in specific areas. The research and development department of CloudWick is the biggest and most expensive part of the company.

With Evergreen Healthcare Partners, Drew Madden shifts paradigm of healthcare IT

Posted by TME on in Healthia Consulting

Drew Madden is a 15-year veteran of the healthcare IT space. He has worked for some of the largest companies in the industry, including as a C-level executive. He has helped build boutique healthcare IT companies from one-room operations into powerhouses boasting more than 750 employees.

But as he watched consumer healthcare costs continue to spiral out of control, Madden eventually came to realize that there was something profoundly wrong with the entire approach of the healthcare IT industry. He realized that the entire culture of the field was broken. This was the impetus behind his formation of Evergreen Healthcare Partners, a healthcare consulting firm that has as its mission nothing short of saving the U.S. healthcare system from collapse.

Turning around a 100-car freight train

But the job that Madden and Evergreen have set before them is no small task. This is particularly true in light of the fact that Madden founded the company just over a year ago. In July of 2017, Madden and a few other choice people who shared his vision of completely overhauling how the healthcare IT field is approached got together. They sat in a rented board room and, as Madden jovially puts it, pretended they had a company until they actually did.

This marked the beginning of Evergreen Healthcare Partners. Since then, the company has begun to spread out across different areas of the healthcare IT business. One of the areas in which it is currently fighting to combat inefficiency and abuse is the problem of information soloing. Electronic hospital records have traditionally been proprietary affairs, only being circulated within the hospitals and networks in which they were created. Madden and his team are now undertaking the life-and-death task of making these critical records compatible across all hospital networks within the United States.

Another area in which Evergreen is helping to shape a better future for healthcare is in the field of consumer health apps and platforms. Drew Madden says that healthcare consumers are often less well informed than people looking for the best Mexican restaurant in their area. Madden says that resolving this information barrier will do wonders for introducing real competition and driving down costs.

Posted by TME on in Entrepreneur, Jason Hope

Entrepreneur Jason Hope might not be a comedian, but he certainly has a humorous side to his personality. Hope released his funny tee shirt collection in 2014 and it continues to be a successful venture for this accomplished business man. You might not be familiar with Jason Hope. If you are not, then let me quickly tell you about this tech genius.

Jason Hope is an entrepreneur who is based out of Arizona. He helped to start a lot of tech related enterprises, but he also works in other areas as well. Hope has done work in biotechnology and he is an avid philanthropist. Jason has also consulted for businesses. He helps to establish grant programs for entrepreneurs and he even works with high school students.

One of his best endeavors to date is the Jason Hope Tees. This is a line of tee shirts that has silly sayings on the front. The t-shirt company wants to keep a lighthearted and humorous tone with the shirts. They realize that they don’t always have to take everything so seriously. Engaging in laughter is something that more people probably should be doing. The fact is that there is so many negative things happening in the world every day, that it should make any person depressed.

The fabric of Hope’s tees is made of cotton. The shirts are sold in a variety of neutral colors such as black, white and gray. Some of the sayings on the shirt include phrases such as: “The World’s Okayest Sister” or “My Imaginary Friend Thinks You Have Serious Mental Problems”.

The shirts can be great conversation pieces and they could possibly get a rise out of some people. That is exactly what Jason’s line of shirts is designed to do. The company states that customers can purchase the shirts directly from their website or they can pick one up on Amazon.

Posted by TME on in Business, CEO

Launched in 2014, Bumble had already been a huge hit as a dating app. Founder and Chief Executive Officer Whitney Wolfe Herd wanted it to fill other purposes in the lives of Bumble users. The first step was launching Bumble BFF which gives women a way to find new friends wherever they happen to be. This was launched in 2016.

The next year she put out Bumble Bizz. This is now a really easy way to apply the concepts of dating apps to building out a professional network. In order to help build a career, it does geo-targeted matching, just like a dating app, and women also swipe left or right depending on if they want to make a connection with someone.

Whitney Wolfe Herd says that finding a mentor investor, or just a like-minded colleague is every bit as important to women as finding a romantic partner. Many women are now using this app around the world to find professional success and new opportunities to grow their careers.

She says that she and her team at Bumble had noticed that many women had been using the Bumble app to network. They would update their bio to find work, such as indicating they had just moved to the area and wanted to find others working in the financial tech industry. Whitney Wolfe Herd noted that the person who works for a catering company and delivers food to the Bumble office every day had also found her job on Bumble.
