It’s the time of year to begin thinking about your 2012 Boot Camp Business strategy. When I think of my own boot camp strategy, as an example, this is immediately what comes to mind: What does my boot camp stand for? Offer my current members the best deal by creating a “knock your socks” off yearly membership special rate Try to minimize the payment process hassles by only accepting “Auto Pay” payments. Let me explain very quickly. 1. What does my boot camp stand for? It’s been said that you either stand for something or you stand for nothing. About 5 years ago, I began to have an identity crisis with my boot camp direction. Should I try to be all things to everyone (beginners to advanced) or should I do WHAT I WANT TO DO? After a few months of thinking about it, I decided to run my classes with the intermediate to advanced clientele in mind. I’m glad that I did. I have the kind of boot camp that I would join if I wasn’t the owner. There’s no whining, no negativity just all out effort and intensity – along with a lot of fun thrown in. 2. It’s the time of year to offer your members a yearly paid in advance rate for 2012. I do this every year at this time. Before the Holidays, before people get lost in all of the confusion. Because I always have a handful that pay for the year in advance. Don’t question it. Just do it. Offer a clear, concise “Irresistible Offer” that they would have to be crazy to turn down. Throw in some goodies like a Shirt, a couple of boxes of protein bars and perhaps a wristwatch with a heartrate monitor. The goodies are optional. But make sure you give them a great rate so that they save a few hundred off of your regular rate. They’ll love it and so will you. Limit this offer to a certain number, say 10 or so. 3. Consider moving away from accepting cash and checks. …

During weekends or the holidays, you and your family might be looking for fun activities. There are several simple backyard games which you can prepare for in a short period of time. Be sure to make your games interesting. These days, kids and even adults would just opt to stay indoors and face the computer or the television screen. You need to change this even for just a couple of times in a month. You need to make them want to join you in the game that you are playing. Also, you need to make them want to let go of what they are doing in order to join in. Search and list all the games that are available out there. Just list anything and everything that you can find. You will weed out the difficult games later on. If you have a long list, you will also have a lot of games to choose from. On your list, you will surely have games that are easy to play and there are also those that will be impossible for you to set up. Take into account the physical capacities of each member of your family. As much as possible, each member has to have the same chance to win. Look at the person’s height, weight as well as endurance. Although these games don’t have to be competitive, you can surely enjoy and have more fun if you are taking them seriously. If you have small children in your family, there might be games which can be too dangerous for them to play. Understand the details of how the games will be played and what materials are needed. Once you have an idea of what each game entails, you can select the ones that you and your family can play. Screen your list and delete the ones that are quite impossible for you and your family to play. Only consider the games that can be played by the whole family. Of course, you also have to choose the games that you can find the materials for. Look at the number of people who can play the game. Games that can involve several players will be a good selection. Also consider how the game will be played if the weather does not cooperate. What will you do if it rains? Will you still be able to enjoy the game? How about if the sun is shining too brightly? Some materials that you need for the game might be damaged if placed under the sun for an extended period of time. The amount of preparation that you need to do will also matter. These games might not be planned for a long time. Most families might find that they do not have anything to do for the next couple of hours. This means that they will resort to playing a game. One that can be started instantly is a good choice. Sometimes, getting the right materials can take some time. Games like these will require that you plan well ahead of time. If you cannot do this, select a different game.

First of all this is April 1st, which is a day that is full of April Fools day jokes and various craziness. This however is not one of those jokes. I was going to post this yesterday but figured to do it at the first of the month instead. The month just happens to be April… heh. Today is the day that I leave this site and walk away and I won’t be back to post again. It has been a fun and interesting ride. This site has been running since August 15, 2000 which is a bit short of 9 years. The reason for me leaving? Both Phoebus and myself have decided a change is what we both want. A few others posted news before me, utopia, Reese, Demolisher, Fredric, EvilGreg, DemonCow, RunicPagan, Pagangod, DraX, Za0oO, CanadianX, pailhead, Fraust, FACE.UK, Olivier, Hades, AiC and of course Phoebus, the owner of the whole Mindless Games Network and my good friend. Besides Phoebus every one of those other guys went their own way eventually and never returned, unless they came and read the updates, who knows? Whatever the case I wish them all good luck with whatever they happen to be doing now. They all certainly helped to keep the news interesting back in the early days! It wasn’t until February 4, 2004 that I posted on here with a post about the Dungeon Siege movie, which is something that I never did watch and don’t plan on doing anytime soon. So that adds up to just over 5 years of daily posts. Since my first post on here, I’ve seen a lot of games being developed and then released, everything from Sacred, to Half–Life 2, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Quake 4, Spore, Guild Wars, World of Warcraft, F.E.A.R, Jedi Academy, to Fallout 3 and a hell of a lot more, just to name a few. We also covered other types of news too and it was interesting to post entertainment news for a change and also things happening in the real world, game mods and various weird things. Overall it has been a good, pleasant experience, that’s for damned sure. Furthermore we also ventured into reviewing games and had lots of good help there from several talented writers including Gwynhala, Stinger, LordRinvaran, Staff, DarkFriend, Fraust and Jericho. My contributions to the reviews included Half–Life: Blue Shift, Doom 3, Atlantis Evolution, Unreal and Unreal: Return To Na Pali. I had certainly planned to write reviews for other games, but time restraints and a lack of interest killed whatever ones I had started. Ahh I just remembered I had a Unreal II review started after I replayed the game… oh well, that’s not likely to get finished now. hah! Like all good things, they do come to an end. I will still be around the Newdoom community and also the Raven–Games community for as long as it lasts. The news on the Raven site is also being put to sleep. I will be continuing the news for Doom over on Newdoom up until June 1st when the Doom and Raven forums will shift to a new server. Then what I do about news remains to be seen. I have no solid plans other than wanting to continue the Doom news. I will need a blog or a site for that but I’m in no hurry and waiting to see what is the best move for me. Before I go I want to thank my friend Phoebus for giving me the opportunity to do the news on Mindless Games and also on the Raven and Doom sites. Thank you ever so much Phoebus! It really has been a very fun and interesting experience! I do feel like a change and I know we both need it after all this time. I also want to give thanks to my friend RoseWool, who would without being asked, take the time to find links for the news and send them along to me, sometimes while I was asleep. Thank you RoseWool! Also thanks to all of you who came by over the years to read the news. So on a final note I want to go out with some good old Canadian rock. So crank up Triumph – Follow Your Heart! The song and video brings back a lot of good memories for me… just like this place has over the years. I saw Triumph twice in concert and they rocked big time! Now I’m looking forward to making new memories in other places… Take care of yourselves, your friends and loved ones. Really those are the important bits, making the best of life and getting on with things. Live and enjoy life and be strong. Well goodbye everybody! *walks away whistling*
