I will use this blog to discuss many topics. The most central or imperative topic, of course, will be making money with video, but I will touch on many areas: video production and editing, making a transition from what you are doing to what you want to do and, of course, raising the money to start your business, whether it is Home Video Studio or some other venture. So, if you have an interest in leaving your current career and owning your own business, stay tuned. We are going to have a great time! It will be a great ride, I promise you that.

This entry will be short and sweet. You see, at this moment I am sitting in a nursing home in Kirksville, Missouri. My father, Harold Hanley, had a stroke this week and now lies in a bed several feet from where I sit. Dad is 91 and has had a great life. Ironically, Dad always told me that when he went he wanted to go quickly. So, I hate to see him in this state. I mention my Dad in this opening entry for several reasons  one thing for sure, it was my Dad that taught me about making money. He told me many times in my life that I could do whatever I wanted to do. I might fail or succeed, but at least I would have tried. Dad told me this both with words and by example.

More about Dad, life and of course, video. But for now, just one thought comes to mind: Just Do It. That is Nike's motto and it has been one of the themes of my life for and well, forever. Sometimes, if you think about something too long, it just complicates things. So, I usually just do stuff now instead of later (unless it is doing the dishes!).
I am writing this blog entry NOW and not LATER. Live in the NOW. Whatever it is that you need to do today, just do it. Make it happen! Dont wait for later. Later may never come and if you do the now, NOW, hopefully you will enjoy the LATER, later.
This first entry is in honor of my father, Harold G. Hanley and not the late Harold G. Hanley, mind you, that will come later, as it will for all of us. But just in honor of my father and a man who did much for many, and was and is just Dad to me.

And now, see you later. Of course, later will be your NOW!

May the Force be with you...
