Great way to write a biography

Filed Under Genealogy to Family History to FamilyLearn | Comments Off on Great way to write a biography

We’ve developed at FamilyLearn, a great way to write a biography. It’s called the Unforgettable Biography and it only requires 5 short minutes to get started. Then it takes on a life of its own and grows. Learn how to write a biography today.

I was talking to Trisha just the other day about how difficult it is to get people to change their habits for a new and better product. Just now when I had the chance to purchase cheaper high speed internet and a different cell phone service, I didn’t because I didn’t want to take the time to deal with it. It wasn’t worth it to me. Breaking tradition or making a paradigm shift is never going to be easy and quite frankly, that is what we are trying to do with www.familylearn.com. The industry is currently focused on data, names, dates and places. FamilyLearn is a new way to approach family history and life, learning from one another and our ancestors. But, from a marketing standpoint, this is going to be a very difficult task indeed. Seth Godin, the famous blogger recently pointed out: “You should also care if you’re trying to build something big and important. Because big and important things often come from changing the tradition. And if you can invent a new tradition, a new tradition around your innovation, that’s when you win big time.” ( http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2004/06/tradition.html )

The principle is in the article that is on love and I found it on Paul Allen’s blog:
LOVE

Certain People have personified this for me and I’m sure there are more:

My wife, who truly loves others more than herself.

My Mother, who loved our family enough to go through so much for us.

Alan Fluckiger, American Heritage Academy, who helped me realize my inborn love for learning again.

Dr. Edward Green, General Manager at Family Literacy Centers, Inc., who taught me the power of raising others rather than ourselves.

Dllon Inouye, Professor at BYU, who taught me the power of relationships and excellence.

Paul Merrill, Professor at BYU, Professor at BYU, who cared more for student success than his own.

Paul Allen, Internet Entreprenuer, Infobase Ventures, LLC, who openned my eyes to the goodness in business.

John Jonas, Internet Entreprenuer, Programmer and Friend, Search Engine Marketing Expert, who isn’t afraid to make mistakes and sets an example for me of a love for learning as well as always being there for FamilyLearn.

Jason Johnson, CPA, Entreprenuer, Mentor and Friend, FamilyLearn Vice President, who has risked so much for a love for FamilyLearn with me–mission driven.

Remember that Texas was losing HeritageQuest and a Medical database? Interestingly, the patrons and librarians raised the money to save access to HeritageQuest. This teaches me that if the government takes their hands out of things, people will find a way to pay what is important to them. It also shows me that there is more demand for genealogy records than medical records. Finally, libraries aren’t a bad way to go to diseminate information and fund it.
