Expectations: Where we were, are and our future

As I was having my first cup of coffee and enjoying the garden (yes, it was a few months ago), I realized that my life had become totally unmanagable and I needed to change things. While I pondered my current delima, I came to understand that things were not unmanagable, but that multi-tasking had gone through a major evolution with out informing me. All of a sudden it made sense - I needed to learn how to multi-task all over again, using what technology was offering me. So I plotted out my average day and cross referenced each instance where I was duplicating efforts or wasting time. This led to a complete breakdown of the puzzle where I was then able to reconfigure the pieces into it's new image.

House Of Ardynn was born more out of necessity than a mere brand evolution. What I have gathered under my roof is all of the tools that I need to be using effectively, on a daily basis. Taking control and managing every aspect of my life has increased my productivity ten fold. My ability to take on more projects has most people cringing. And I just go with the flow.

Threads are what ties it all together. Personal, Family, Financial, Professional and Social aspects must work in harmony in order for us, as individuals, to evolve with the times. I am tired of hearing theories on how to integrate your personal and professional lives so that they become affective. But that is what most people spout, instead of literally showing and providing, step by step instructions. This is where I throw in my guarantee, and that is that I will guarantee to give you control of your life and meet it's terms head on. Now, some of this is based on assumptions. Assuming that you believe as I do, that we, of the newest evolution, need a platform that is easily configured to meet individual and mass needs. I am basing this on the fact that you are willing to share with others and myself any applicable changes. By doing so, you will have found your next home.

Jump From Corporate Life Into The World Of Entrepreneurship!

This in response of a question posted on LinkedIn entitled How difficult is it to jump from corporate life into the world of entrepreneurship? asked by Paul Dowling,CEO at DreamStake Social Media.

Paul,

In many ways I agree with you, but at times I feel that the industry / economic leaders forget that we are in the beginning stages of our current business evolution.

We have no choice but to adapt to the current business atmosphere ie: social management, professional decorum, networking and technological proficiencies , in roads that we travel.

The largest percentage of potenials in the country today simply do understand the mapping of the new internet clouds.

It is our responsibility as the new industry titans, that affects the current path of business evolution. By sharing information and providing the tools to help the average professional to manage every aspect of their lives, they will be able to join the current business evolution. If we give them this, then we can affect change in our current business shortfalls and be the true instrument that pulls the country out of it's current economic state.

CHC Wellness Solutions Posed To Take Over Missouri Market Place

For Immediate Release - June 17, 2009


CHC Wellness, the Chicago, Illinois based wellness solution provider has hired Cindy Stidem as their Regional Manager to cover the Missouri market and bring companies the most cost effective, comprehensive, wellness program available today. Their principal objective is to enhance the quality of life of individuals in an effort to create happier, healthier and more productive employees.

Main

“Our wellness advisors, with over 20 years of experience, have allowed us to provide the most cost effective, comprehensive program based on a company’s goals and budgetary needs” says company spokesman. “Through the CHC Wellness screening I discovered my thyroid was out of range. Further testing revealed a nodule on my thyroid that my doctor is monitoring. Without the screening, I never would have found this” comments Jody, a CHC Wellness participant. Jody is not unique; CHC Wellness identified internal bleeding in a CEO of a prominent advertising agency, a mother of four detected cancer in its early stages, as well as countless other cases. By providing a full range of wellness solutions to meet any companies needs, CHC Wellness is positioned to assist participants like Jody in early detection, planning and care management that not only decreases absenteeism, increases employee retention and boosts employee moral.

“Joe Miller, VP of Business Development, states, “CHC Wellness strives to move wellness into the next generation by offering a one-size-fits-one approach to our client companies and their employees. We know that by using research-based programs and leaning on the 30 years of knowledge built up on the subject, we can provide our clients measurable results and decrease their claims long-term”.

“Business owners across the country are finding out the hard way that the cost of providing benefits to their employees is greatly outpacing the growth in earnings. Thus the topic of wellness and prevention has moved to the forefront of most business leader’s minds” says Stidem. Currently, the US House of Representatives is considering a bill which would give tax credits to companies that offer their employees the opportunity to take part in meaningful wellness initiatives.

By first analyzing an organization’s goals and providing proven methods to accomplish those goals within the structure of a dynamic three year plan, CHC Wellness is positioned to provide the structure that the Obama Administration is such a proponent of.
