The 80-20 Rule...

Also known as
"The Pareto Principle" 


Discovered by business consultant Joseph Juran and named after the Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto, the principle says that 80% of the results come from only 20% of the work done.

There is nothing magic about the 80-20 numbers... in other words, sometimes it's more like 90-10 or even 95-5... meaning at times 95% of the "stuff" you do at work can result in nothing and only 5% of it actually gets results.

I mention the 80-20 Rule today as I am working on my email inbox.  Being off work yesterday due to Christmas AND a nasty cold, I had a full day's worth of email in my inbox.  :-) 

I think email may be the only thing on earth than can actually approach the theoretical limits of the Pareto Principle. It's actually possible that 99.99% of my inbox is junk.

Do You Go To Work
In Your Jammies?



Just another benefit of owning
a digitizing business!


Holly would shoot me if I posted a photo of her working this morning in her pajamas, but yes, that is exactly how she works most days. 

Get up about 8... cuddle a while with Pearl and Onyx taking turns on her lap... and then she starts digitizing for an hour or two.  :-)

We like that... a lot! 



Do You
Want To
Digitize?


Holly can help you.  Get a trial copy of Generations from us that will run for 30 days before you buy!  Details on our website. 

You can learn to digitize in 30 days with Holly's help.  Holly has taught HUNDREDS of people to digitize in her 8 hour "Digitize In A Day" classes.  She can teach you to digitize in 30 days of online lessons!

Start with a trial copy.  If you decide to keep Generations you can deduct the cost of the trial program off the cost of Generations.,  Then you can either trade in one of the other programs you already bought (for up to a $1,000 credit!), or you can buy Generations from us with a "no-interest / no-credit-check" payment plan!

Heck, you can even just buy Generations without a trade-in or the free financing plan and you'll get a really nice gift (a $470 value) from us for doing that instead.  

Any way you choose, buy Generations from us and you will have the ONLY digitizing program you will ever need and a GREAT teacher who will help you learn to USE your software.
