My first thoughts walking away from Dark Knight were dark thoughts. This film was, at times, too believable for a comic book hero. Yes, I realize that Nolan and the writers intentionally recast Batman out of the traditional hero role; however, in doing so they changed the comic book appeal, lost the frivolity and unbelievability […]
Preparing for NetworkInAustin.com’s Relaunch!
Closed Published by Business Networking in Austin Blog July 27th, 2008 on Business Networking in Austin BlogI’m sure most of you have noticed that NetworkInAustin.com is not what it once was when we launched this site in early 2005. This is about to change. Stay tuned, especially around our target date of 9/1/2008.
When I originally launched NIA in April of 2005 it had nearly 100% of my attention. At roughly the same time my first daughter was conceived. Fast forward 8 months to a conversation I had with my wife. We were both running start-up businesses. They were both profitable, but not nearly profitable enough to support our growing family. Since then NIA has been on the back burner and not received very much of my attention.
I’m a little upset with myself that it’s taken this long, but thanks to a great conversation with one of my business coaches, Stan Tyler, he made the solution sound all too easy. Since that conversation and another referral Stan provided we’re roughly 30 days away from a complete relaunch.
There were some major flaws in my original business model (primarily in the pricing). We’ve found a simple solution for some of these gaps and I know you’re going to be pleased.
You’ll certainly find updates on this blog, but for the best source of news please subscribe to the Weekly Referral e-mail newsletter (also about to be reborn).
We’re really excited about this new direction and appreciate your ongoing support.
Happy Networking!

Closed Published by Crossland Team July 26th, 2008 on Crossland TeamToday’s Austin Statesman has an interesting, if not predictable article about California investors being disproportionately represented in Austin area foreclosures. We’ve participated in several sales by California investors (not ones that we sold to though) bailing out, some of which were short sales or pre-foreclosures.
As the Austin real estate market …
