I’ve Been Thinking

I’ve Been Thinking

I’ve been thinking.

Jim SchuettNo, really!

…wondering about how all the things we do each day, how we do them, and the things we don’t get to.

I’ve been thinking about how much of our brain we actually use, or more to the point, how much we don’t use!

I truly know that I’m not the sharpest nail in the pound box, but definitely do use some of the old grey matter upstairs.  In fact a decade or so ago, I realized that I had been diminishing in my mental capacities, and realized I needed to do something about it.

I’m going to go in two directions from here:

  1. Where its led me
  2. How we view ourselves and our role in the complexities of the universe.

First, where its led me…

In 2001 I went to work for a friend, a subcontractor, and found some satisfaction in helping him and his company, but found the limitations of someone else’s pace, goals, and directions. While there I chose a new software for his company, Master Builder (MB) Software. I became a certified consultant for MB, staying with this friend and his business for 4 years.

When I moved to another company, another MB user, and found they were going bankrupt, and only wanted me as a last ditch effort to save their company. Again, someone else’s pace, goals, etc. and something I could not do, as they were too deep in the hole.

I came upon a moment of decision, unemployed, still a MB consultant. The one thing I loved the best about MB was writing reports inside the software. and so decided to concentrate on using my talents, and passion, to write reports for clients where ever I could find them. This is when my mental capacities started to sharpen, and brought me back to where I hoped I’d be … growing, excited, and a little scared.

Long story, short, is since 2002, I’ve been writing reports for MB, now Sage 100 Contractor (S100) Software (former Master Builder). I truly believe it saved my life.

And you, my Clients, are treasures to me.

Part Two of this discussion, Us and the Universe.

The thought came to me this morning, “Do we really only use 10% of our brains?” And if so, what can we expect to do with the other 90%?

Looking at all the creations in the heavens, and here on earth, and with my understanding of Heavenly Father’s plan for us, I know that “beyond the veil” of this world, we will be able to use all 100% of our capacities there.

sacred-grove-402378-print

So what of now?

Our role today, and everyday, is to learn and grow as much as possible in this life, serving others, sharing our talents, living as honest and productive life as we can, so that when we walk through the “veil” we are more like Heavenly Father, and are more ready to serve Him there. We will continue to grow throughout eternity.

Back to our brain usage:    I “googled” this question:

Do People Only Use 10 Percent of Their Brains?

…and found that we do use all our brains. It’s really quite amazing … no, truly amazing.

If you get a chance, read the article I found:

http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/do-people-only-use-10-percent-of-their-brains/

This has been an unexpected post this morning, just something that came to me to share. Thanks for listening, Jim Schuett

How To Book-Cover

Book Purchase includes 1-Hour Free “One-on-One” Training Class.

Report writing in Sage 100 Contractor (former Master Builder) can be difficult…but with some basic instruction, you will find it easier, and logical.

  • In this instruction manual, I try to make it as easy and readable as possible, with lots of diagrams, and simple step by step instructions.
  • Feel free to go straight to the area you need for information, as you may already know some of the basics.
  • When you get to the Resources Section (and throughout the book), you will find many of the tools I created over twelve years of writing reports in Master Builder, most of which I learned by trial and error (lots of error) as there was no documentation or manual beyond beginner’s instructions.
  • My goal is to provide the opportunity for you and others to enjoy report writing as much as I have over the years.
  • It’s a very creative and challenging outlet: creating organized reports that are easy to read, and provide the data you need.

Spreading the word with social media.

Social Media Guide

Sage logoThe rise of social media has been so rapid that it’s easy to feel left behind. And it’s not just a personal scene anymore – many businesses are using sites such as LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook to attract followers and fans.

Social Media-007

If you run your own business, social media offers you the chance to spread the word about what you do. It enables you to build a reputation, forge new relationships and bring in new business.

 

But if you haven’t taken the plunge yet, you’re not alone. According to research by specialist SME insurer Hiscox (2012), only 57% of small businesses currently use social media to support their marketing efforts.

Liberty Reports for Sage 100 by Jim Schuett

Liberty Reports for Sage 100 by Jim Schuett

FROM JIM SCHUETT, SAGE 100 CONTRACTOR (Master Builder) – REPORT WRITER

Something NEW is happening!

I have added “Liberty Reports” to my report writing options for Sage 100 Contractor, and am continuing to write in Sage 100’s Report Writer for the reports that work well inside the software.  (See below the report for more info on Liberty Reports details.)

With Liberty Reports, I can write reports that can’t be done inside Sage 100 (Master Builder) Software.

I will be adding a lot of new Liberty Reports for sale in the very near future. Custom report requests always accepted.

This report, Job Status Report-Summary, is my version of report 6-1-1-21 in Sage 100, but much better.

  • The report is created in Excel, and the data is pulled from your Sage 100 company database.
  • You can change the job number, refresh the screen, and the new job’s data appears.
  • The report expands and contracts to accommodate the needed space for the various lists.
  • PDF copy attached.
Report LR-6-1-1-21

Report LR-6-1-1-21

This report is offered at a special “Introductory” price of $250 (regularly $395) for the month of February 2015.

(Hopefully it will help with the one-time purchase cost of the Liberty Reports software.)

Liberty Reports is the latest generation of Event 1 Software’s Excel-based reporting technology.

Always at Your Service,
