Welcome to Wordpress

Welcome to the new home of Perils of Caffeine in the Evening. I’ve maintained a blog under the same name under Radio Userland in the Salon.com blog family.

All entries from that blog have been ported over here, much to my delight! I’ll be changing the themes and templates to personalize the look of the place a little bit. Perhaps the spiffier surroundings will somehow enhance the quality of the content. But don’t hold your breath.

Watch this space!

  1. Hi Phil - welcome to the world outsude the strange territory of Loserland. I’ve been having problems loading Perils recently so I’m glad to have you back. So - the diaspora continues…

  2. Phil:

    Hi, Dick! I’m playing “dress-up”, trying out different themes. Sorry you were having issues with the Radio version - any error messages or other clues?

  3. Carroll:

    Wow, smooth move! (oh wait — sorry — that’s the name of an herbal laxative tea) Anyway, nicely done, Phil. It looks great — user friendly, feels like home :-) You’re just about the last holdout on the Salon Updates list. Consider yourself firmly bookmarked here, and here’s to happy nesting.

  4. Phil:

    Carroll, thanks! I bookmarked fluidpudding in the sidebar.

  5. Carroll:

    Heh, well — timing is everything, Phil. FP is doing another about face this week. Come Friday it’s no longer a collective, and I’m out on the street again ;) I thank you immensely for the support and friendship over there though. If I ever do break down and do my own blog (not in this lifetime, mind you) you’ll be at the top of my blogroll :)

  6. Phil:

    Carroll, that’s weird. I encourage you to find another “situation”.

  9. Buliding and Maintaining a downline is a difficult task and is a big part of any MLM or Network Marketing business. I use the following techniques to effectively manage my downline:

    1. Ask questions - guide your downline to the answer for their questions by asking the right questions

    2. Find each individuals strengths - find the strengths in each member of your downline and help them build their business utilizing there strengths.

    3. Lead, dont pressure - lleading is about ,successfully working the business so that your downline members will want to follow you on their own accord. Don’t add pressure.

    4. Manage your time - view yourself as a businessperson, and keep each conversation on task.

    5. Consistency is the key to success - create a list of simple business building tasks, and your members to keep a log of the tasks completed each day. Teach them that success depends on how many of these tasks they commit to completing on a consistent daily basis.

    6. Maintain communication - send team updates or newsletters via email to your downline at least every two weeks. Recognize achievements as much as possible.

    7. Know when to move on - you cant make anyone work. You can lead, but if one of your downline wont follow - it might be a better use of your time to find a more self-motivated person.
