False Followers


False followers are one time buyers who fall into the snare of buying a product or service that betrays them in the end. Companies that focus on big bursts/one time hits instead of sustainable buyers as David Armano put it. As a consequence of poor or non-existent leadership these types of businesses hold no real value, and completely come crumbling down when one brick is pulled from the wall(in other words, when the jig is up and they cant cover their ass any longer).

Online scams, get-rich-quick schemes, companies with poor customer service, poor quality products etc. are perfect examples of one-hit businesses that require a long line of constant new buyers. They lack the loyalty for long term success because their in the business of manipulation. These endeavorers fail before they even get going.

This type of leadership is visible in politics as well as business. Political icons of the past century such as Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini used illusions and self-image to get into power. Once in power they revealed their true sides and were exposed as tyrants. They came to a bitter end once the Second World War was over. Mussolini was killed and hung by the same people he has oppressed for the decades earlier.

However companies don’t have such a great advantage over consumers. In a planned or authoritarian economy the population may be forced to buy. But real companies can’t flourish from oppressing the same people that benefit them. Nowadays businesses are at the mercy of the buyer. The buyer can ruin a companies reputation or determine its success. Why do large companies spend crazy amounts of money on marketing and positioning? They do it to attract the customer because they know that the better a relationship they have with the customer, the stronger they become as a whole.

True Followers

People who are excited to be apart of your organization because of the shared sense of common vision and meaning, are true followers. True followers are also leaders. True followers are often fanatics. The fanatics are crazy about being apart of your tribe and so much that they bring in new customers, buyers, team members etc.

As best selling author Seth Godin said it, every company that wants to be successful needs REAL, energized followers who are excited to be part of the “tribe”. Contrary to beliefs of the industrial age, the “blind sheep” or go-fers with no clue of direction are the most counterproductive members of the team. Instead of the highly ineffective approach of “shut up and do what you’re told” there’s a better solution. With the right kind of leadership there’s no such thing as a “blind sheep” or a misguided employee, “tribe member”, what-not.

In the corporate world, this type of leadership gives people room to grow and be themselves. The possibilities are endless because the company’s energy, in terms of teamwork, is also endlessly motivated and passionate about what they do. Peter Drucker was one of the pioneers of the idea that companies need to partner with people. It allows the organization to grow broader and wider. When everyone is free to excel to their own potential, the company grows stronger than it could of the “bureaucratic way” of “do THIS and do it THIS way”. Opportunity is wasted when the system comes between the worker and the company. Although, opportunity’s harvested when the company’s open.

Become a better coder

Coding takes hours of experience to become good at. Experienced coders have a better idea on how to tackle problems and avoid mistakes that beginners often make. Programming is something that has to be practiced a lot. No amount of theory will ensure that the code works the first time it’s executed. Also, no amount of book reading can compensate for lack of experience. More time experimenting and less time reading will make a better coder, though both are important in moving ahead in learning the art. By art I mean programming:D

Here are a few tips on how to improve your programming skills:

Learn by doing.

Experimenting with your own code helps you learn the syntax and the language you’re working with. Lots of expert programmers learned how to code out of curiosity. “I wonder what this does *BANG* … Oops!”:D

Learn by Teaching. Two for the Money video

A great way to enhance your understanding is to teach others. Teaching gives you insight on both angles. The person you’re teaching might also ask some questions and challenge your knowledge, creating another opportunity for you to learn something new or to see something in a new way. Two heads are better than one.

Use the Right Tools. The Invention of Lying dvdrip Battle for the Planet of the Apes

Using the right tools will give you a massive boost. Using tools that you can rely on, and enables you to get the job done right, are the only ones you should use. There are a lot fo great text editors and IDEs out there. Real developers need something more than a plain text editor. Get the tools that work for you. There’s a lot of free ones to choose from. The open source community, with is mainly made of developers, provides tons of great tools for you to use for your development needs, and free of charge. You may need to spend a bit of time experimenting with different tools and finding out what works best for you, but the time investment is well worth it.

You should have a syntax highlighting text editor, command-line knowledge, a version control system, a test server(if you’re a web developer), knowledge on how to use a compiler etc. In the end knowing how to use these tools effectively is most important. Tools don’t work by themselves.:D

And again, Learn by LOTS of Experience(Doing).

Duplex release

You simply cant surpass hours of hair-pulling by reading a text book. That hair-pulling and cursing is inevitable I’m afraid. And it’s just apart of learning.:D Some say that you need 5,000 hours to become excellent, others say you should have at least 10,000 hours of concentrated practicing. Of course the figure changes per person depending on where his or her previous related interests were, etc. However it’s certain that for YOU to become a great programmer or coder, you need LOTS and LOTS of practice.

Practice by working on projects of your own, practice coding stuff in your free time, if you’re a full time computer engineer you might get lots of practice already. The important thing is that you get the experience. And that said, make sure you have a desire to improve and make sure you actually do improve. If you’re going to be a mediocre coder you don’t need a lot of experience. If you want to excel at what you do then monitor yourself. Make sure you learn something new, and improve in some way within a certain time period. Remember, there’s a 1000% difference between a great programmer and a mediocre programmer. One makes toast, butters it and accidentally drops it in garbage, the other does magic! Haha:)

Take a BREAK!

Long hours of practice and exhaustion has a toll on your brain. It impairs your ability to learn and makes your practice less effective. You find you get a lot less done. Avoiding sharpening your saw because you don’t have time will cause you to waste more time in the long run. Being a programmer you somethings get rushed and become a slave to the urgent tasks. You end up neglecting your health and other things and end up living a very unbalanced lifestyle. Taking a vacation away from work is important and your brain cant function at it’s full capacity otherwise.

The advantages of being your own web coder!

“Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.” – Thomas Edison

Most of you who read this blog or know me, know that I’m a hard-core coder and spend a lot of time coding my own sites and building sites for clients. I started coding when I was just young. I’m glad I did, it’s helped me meet some great people and let me find my talents. Not to mention make a few dollars on the side.

Being a coder for your own business can be very beneficial. You’ll always be one of the most motivated developers in your projects and you can always pass the skill on to another person.

Everyone needs a coder now days!

Almost every business needs a web site . Ten years ago people didn’t understand what “web design” was. Now days even people without Internet have heard about. I’ll often get comments like “oh yeah, my brother does that” or “my aunt and uncle have a web design company”. Companies are doing business through their websites, creating a constant need for updates and implementation of advanced features. The demand gives web developers and free-lance coders jobs. These are one of the opportunities of knowing how to code.

If you don’t have the money to hire a coder or a designer, teach yourself.

Coders are somewhat expensive. And to find a good developer that will get the job done well and on time, is often very tough. You may need more than just one or two coders for a project. But you’ll always have the ability to get in there and things done instead of hunting for programmers.

There’s a 1000% difference between a good coder and an Excellent coder.

Do you have the patience to become one?

It’s hard to rate a coder on a scale from one to ten. Good coders know how to get things working, they often know how to get the job done and get paid. However “good” coders also sometimes leave the project unpolished and leave important details untouched. An excellent coder will always get the job done just as expected or better. They understand what the work entails and what the consequences are if the work isn’t done on time. They have a Win/Win or no deal attitude. They take care of problems before they occur, ones that a good coder may let persist for weeks.

An excellent coder is your project’s hero, and worth his or her weight in gold. Never compromise to save a buck. I can rest easy knowing I have a awesome programmer who puts real pride in what he does.

There’s a lot of good reasons to get into web development, there are also a lot of different roles to play as a developer. But there’re also reasons not to even bother. Learning a programming language and all the little things that come with it is a tough learning curve. You need to be prepared to spend a lot of time. You need to love doing it.

If you’re considering getting into coding(whether in your job, business or for a startup) these are the questions you should ask yourself:

Consider these questions before you get into web development and find out you’re not really as driven as you thought.
