New Year and Old Focus – Getting Back to Where I Started
Dec 31st
When did you start your journey to learn to make money on the Internet?
As I finish up a few tasks in my home office today and get ready to welcome in the New Year of 2011 with family and friends I’ve been reflecting on my online journey.
I started my current consulting business, Mission Springs LLC, in December 2005 just five years ago. For nearly three years I have been running my business full-time after leaving my J.O.B. at Becker Furniture World as their I.T. Manager.
But, my journey to learn how to make money on the Internet or from doing work involving using the Internet started way back in 1994 and 1995 when I was first exposed to the WWW (World Wide Web). Back in September of 1994 I started to use Netscape Navigator while taking a business management program at a local college.
I will spare the details of the experiences I had back then but I will say that by the winter of 1994-1995 I made my first income by teaching others how to use the Internet for business. As a matter of fact, one of my most interesting students was the CIO for a local small business called Cargill. He came to my class to learn how to use the Internet to build the company’s first website. You can see one of their first designs here at Archive.org from 1996.

Later in 1995 I started to talk with my local banker, telling them that they needed a website for the bank. After a couple months of me “pestering” them they said that I should go ahead and build the first website for them. So, along with Larry Hill (who worked for the bank) we set out to do that working on an old PC with a dial-up modem. You can see an early version of our design also at Archive.org.

Between 1995 and 2008 I worked at three different companies in their Information Technology departments and at each one I had a hand in website design or Internet systems. While working for my first IT company I built the first website for the City of Chanhassen, MN. Here is one of the early designs I did for the city… really lame looking I know. But hey, the paid me to do this.

I did my own consulting and website work back then under my first business name, G.T.A. Business Solutions. Again, not a really great looking website but it got me business.

In the mid to late 1990’s while working full-time at IT jobs for others I helped several local businesses in Elk River with their first online ventures. And now, I’m getting back to where I started.
I’ve tried to help other people who wanted to learn how to build online businesses. I build websites for their various “make money on the Internet” ventures but most of them never became successful for lack of money, skills or time to see success happen.
Last year I joined the Elk River Chamber of Commerce and started attending the weekly Tuesday morning Chamber Connections networking meeting. This step, along with some other key steps, has now brought me full circle back to working with local businesses and organizations.
Over the last several years I’ve made tens of thousands of dollars by using and from using the Internet and helping others to use it to make money. My goal for 2011 is to do more teaching and consulting with businesses in the Greater Elk River Area, to help them maximize their ROI of advertising dollars by using the tools available online.
In the past several months I have positioned myself with some of the top resources and people who I can call on to provide the tools and services local business owners need to gain the competitive advantage in their organizations.
If you are a business owner or know a business owner who needs a better plan for utilizing the Internet in 2011… please contact me. I can help you to leverage your good business to make it a Great Business and draw clients and customers to you that you don’t have now. Also, I can help you earn more repeat sales from existing clients and customers using the technology of online business.
Have a wonderful New Year of 2011… I plan to.

Twin Cities Outsourcing Firm to Host 4th Outsourcing Workshop Feb 6-8
Posted: 01 Feb 2009 09:29 AM CST
Minneapolis, MN Feb. 1, 2009 – Jeff Mills has been in the public eye for a long time helping busy entrepreneurs to relish in the exciting world he’s discovered with internet marketing and now… outsourcing with his new company, www.trafficmills.com.
He’s hosting a brand new workshop – the Outsource Secrets Revealed Workshop, which takes place February 6-8, 2009 in Bloomington, MN at the Radisson Water Park of America Hotel, near the Mall of America.
Jeff wants each and every person who owns a small business or is thinking of working from home to see the advantages of using and tapping into the worldwide outsourcing resources readily available on the web.
“I first heard about the concept of using Outsourcers from one of my online marketing mentors back in 2004, who was making millions per year. I asked him how he worked so little, launched multiple products per year, and still had enough free time and he told me it was because he ‘Outsourced’ all his projects through internet vendors that he was able to live with sanity, work less and still increase his revenues!� said Mills.
Since that conversation in 2004, Jeff has mastered the online outsourcing phenomenon and seen his business hit 7 figures, all while working from a tiny closet office in his Cottage Grove, MN home.
Jeff Mills has quickly become the “Napoleon Hill of Outsourcing� as some of his clients call him, due to the fact that Jeff has interviewed over 30 different successful internet marketers who all claim their fortunes and lifestyles come not from all the products they sell, but from the advantages they found by hiring independent contractors to get jobs done for them that pay $2-$4 per hour in 3rd world countries!
Earlier this year, Jeff released this flagship product called, Outsource Secrets Revealed, a 15 DVD disc volume where he interviewed on live webinars, the top internet marketers in the world and somehow got them all to share their secret resources and techniques for how they outsource and work less, while making more money. His product has gone on to sell over 6 figures, and has spawned sub products like a monthly Outsourcing Coaching program, a free 70 page eBook called the Outsource Compendium, and now his Outsourcing Workshops, which Mills holds every 3 months in the Twin Cities of Minnesota.
“My outsourcing tools provide busy entrepreneurs and small business owners with the knowledge and know-how to actually increase their sales and to increase the money that they are bringing in – simply by knowing the basics of where to find good people and how to get tasks done cheaper and faster at the same time. People want blogs built, websites coded, software designed, social media profiles created, videos produced and sent to video hosting site, articles written and submitted and all that takes time and effort. We show people how to get others doing that work at ridiculously low fees, while saving a ton of time too,�said Mills.
By attending Jeff Mills’ new Outsource Secrets Revealed Workshop, a person can learn how to take what they’ve already got and help their business to grow in ways that they would never have dreamed of before.
The Outsourcing and Leveraging Workshop is a way for business owners or for those who want to work at home to figure out what they’re doing right, and to do more of it, as well as figure out what they could be doing differently, and then make the changes that are necessary in order to achieve their goals, by outsourcing where it makes sense.
The Outsourcing Secrets Revealed Workshop will have a number of excellent speakers presenting.
• John Jonas will be talking about hiring service providers from the Philippines.
• Sandy Cashman will share insights about discovering what your dreams and passions are so you can focus in on what you are best at and then learn how to outsource the rest!
• Henry Griner will be sharing how to outsource by hiring a project manager to oversee your tasks and where to find good people all over the world who are skilled and excellent in internet marketing.
• And Jeff Mills will be speaking about putting the whole Virtual team concept together and how a solo entrepreneur or small business owner can begin outsourcing by setting up proper structures and systems inside the business.
Anyone who wishes to be able to maximize their own potential, and the potential of the business that they currently have is invited to attend the Outsource Workshop but seats are extremely limited.

I’ll take you inside the team management tools that I use to manage and track our projects. I will demonstrate the FREE “instant videoâ€? tool that I use to quickly show our team members how to do a task.
