In solving problems, a lot of ideas that appear. So for that we need to do the assessment. There are several techniques to measure and assess the ideas that have been collected and the ideas that separate the great from the not so great. For the assessment process, should be provided special time, do not rate at the time are to gather ideas.
1. Group's ideas and Order
Notion / idea that was compiled, are grouped into several categories according to the problems faced. After that urutkanlah to facilitate the assessment, from this assessment will be invisible, where the idea should get more attention, which is eligible for consideration, and so on.
2. See pro and contra
When we had difficulty in deciding which ideas should be implemented, the technique is good for memudahkannya register with the pro and contra which may arise from these ideas. This can be considered before the next stage.
3. Create analysis
Analysis not only can be used to filter out the problems, but also useful for assessing the solutions will be taken. Before we end it all, do more analysis of the solution and make the recommended improvements.
4. why fail ?
Why do we consider solutions that can be bright failed? What is it? What consequences? Although painful, but we still have to learn while doing repairs. Better now than to find it after we invested capital is greater.
• Sort
The point to remember, people do not buy an item, they buy benefits. So, the reason for the strong opinion that we can benefit received is because the principal can be produced from these ideas. Pahamilah with good advice that we give the benefit-and find useful. From a number of ideas are selected, uraikanlah benefits that can be obtained and the urutkanlah interests.
• do reality checks
We can only maintain the confidentiality of our ideas of the time until the time we are revealing. But whether that solution will be successful when applied in the real world? Of course, the fact feasible to do. This includes talking with people who do not aligned, that does not have any interest on the result, or clientele. Of course, this also must be done carefully to maintain the confidentiality of our ideas. Do not just rely on their own opinions, because we will not be able to be objective.
• Do not stop when finished
Only because we already have solutions, you can get a splitter to run continuously, obtain funds, realize, and work out, does not mean that we should cease until there. The challenge is always to increase and improve the incentive should be to continue forward. The problem is very simple. The users have the expectation, inventors create stunning breakthrough, sometimes can exceed the expectations, so that they can be a very admirable, but it should be remembered is only temporary. Users are never satisfied. Similarly we. Teruskanlah to produce great ideas. If not so, then the other people who will take over. Keep that always step further than our competitors.

Password Reminder
This post is about the software to remember the password. Possible for colleagues of all, if only to remember the password in a small amount does not become a problem. But the longer the more a username and password that we have to remember. If we remember the power is very good ..... not a problem. However, if the only hand to mouth? often we forget the username and password that we have. We need the password for the Windows network logon, your e-mail account, your site's FTP password, online passwords (like website member account).
We arranged to use a different password for each account. Because if you only use one password everywhere, wah nih danger, when someone gets your password, this is a serious problem. Thieves will have access to e-mail account, homepage, and others. (Try to imagine).
Below there are 2 software that I already try. (Free download)
1. Access Manager
Access Manager. Softweare this FREE or FREE. This software can be as a software solution that can store all your username and password in a list of username and password. The software offers quick access, secure and easy to access all personal information and password.
You can view or edit the password, and drag & drop or copy passwords to web pages and other software. This software has a Strong encryption, so your information remains safe and secure. Access manager is available in Dutch and English versions.
Please download Access manager:

File Acces support manager
dotnetfx.exe
2. Keepas
KeePass is a free open source password manager, which will help you to manage your passwords in a secure way. You can store all your passwords in one database, which is locked with one master key or key file. So you only need to remember one master password or select the button to open the file all the data. Database that will be encrypted, so it will be very safe.
Yes, KeePass is really free, and more than that: it is open source (OSI certified).
You can see all the source and check if the encryption algorithm is implemented correctly.
Please use only salahs atu. I use keepas, because they do not need additional software
Which can be saved in the software, which are:
• Web site passwords

• Computer logon password
• Telephone banking codes
• Email password
• Software access passwords
• Door entry and alarm codes
Please download keepas:

That is just the tool we bantu. Try hardcopy or note username and password we also store in a book, or in the notes. Because if our computer "KO" is the data we will also be lost.

Elements of Successful Marketing Materials
Marketing materials consist of websites, ads, brochures, business cards, sig lines, and other elements that you use for propagating your marketing message.
Your materials need to look professional, and to present a unified message that reaches out to your target market. They need to have a feel that conveys the same message as the text on them does.
Many business owners will be able to make their own brochures and business cards. Fewer will be able to create a really good website, but some will. Most business owners can write a good signature line, and create short ads that get the point across.
No business owner will be able to do any of those things perfectly right off. All of them take practice. Creating literature and websites though takes not only practice, but a great deal of learning.
Templates can shorten the amount of learning you have to do, but a template is not a good option if you want a personal feel to your materials. A template is a starting place, not an end result. Templates work extremely well when they are used to generate an idea, and then customized to make them work well for the business in question.
I use business card and brochure templates for my own business, and even for clients. But I choose the template based on the layout, and how well I like the way the overall appearance will function for the business in question. I then customize the colors, and add unique images. By the time I'm done, the look and feel is quite different.
It is important that marketing materials be customized for the individual business. One size does NOT fit all. If you have a site designed by someone who does not understand what your business image is, the site will never quite work to bring customers the way it should.
If you use a business card template that 3000 other businesses also use, then your marketing message will lack the unique edge it needs to set your business apart from the rest of your competition.
At the least, change the colors when you can, and add your own images to templates that you use. If you can find other ways to customize them to give the message more impact, then do so, because that can often make the difference between something that is overlooked, and something that is remembered and used.
The message needs to be tightly focused at the people who are most likely to buy your product or service.
If you want to give an effective marketing message, you must identify with your target customer. That means first, you have to HAVE a target customer, and second, you have to learn to think like they do!
* Ever read an ad and got bored in the middle and turned away?
* Ever heard an ad and thought, “How utterly stupid!”?
* Ever heard a description of a “problem” from someone offering a “solution”, and thought, “Nope! Not me!”?
When you have a product or information which you feel can help someone, the last thing you want is for them to class you as an oaf who just doesn't get it! And if you don't understand who your target market is, and what they will respond to, that is exactly how they will categorize you.
There are tons of marketing instructional manuals out there about writing effective marketing materials. And to the last, they almost all recommend pushy hype, or what they call “hypnotic messages” for marketing. I don't subscribe to their theories! Because for me, hype turns me off. And when a seller tells me what to feel, or how to react, that just leaves me cold and I go away. It may work for the people they are trying to sell to, but it does not work for people like me, whom I am trying to sell to.
You see, I want to sell to people who like to take charge of their life. Who want practical information to help them do that. People like that don't like to be told what they think or how they feel! They are suspicious of hype, and will run at the sight of it. That is who I specifically choose to market to, so the techniques employed by many sellers are exactly what I want to avoid. I know this about my customers, so I use other strategies.
The marketing method that you use is not a right or wrong one, unless it fails to reach YOUR customer. You need to know what the most important aspect is for them – whether it be value, price, quality, special features, function, service, caring, etc. Your copy needs to be written to convey that aspect both in the words you SAY, and the feel of what you are saying.
* Impatient customers want you to get to the point.
* Intellectuals want you to prove your point and offer more information as an option.
* Frugal people want to know about VALUE, not just price.
* Cheap people want to know the price, and how much they get for it.
* Business minded people want to know how it will improve their bottom line, specifically, but concisely.
* Academics want to know not just WHAT, but HOW your product can help.
If you don't understand your market, you'll lose their interest, and perhaps earn only their scorn. You can't market anything to anyone without establishing some kind of relationship of trust. The more your message reaches out to their direct needs, wants, and personal style, the more successful you'll be at helping them understand why your product or information has value to them.
Good, effective marketing materials will present an effective message both in the things they say, and in their appearance. It will all coordinate together to make the viewer feel that the message is sincere.
