Talking Portraits - Podcasting with Tom Parish|Lynda Weinman - A Woman Who Could Change Your Perspective On Success and Happiness Episode
Up next, a conversation with Lynda Wienman - CEO of Lynda.com on Talking Portraits.I had a conversation recently with a friend and mentor Larry Seyer about how to grow a business online in the area of online education. It seemed to me there is huge opportunity globally for businesses that can provide useful education on current topics. Larry had just built www.learngigastudio.com which produces online lessons for GigaStudio in both text and video form. It's a great niche that he knows well, and it fullfills a need in a the electronic music area where samplers and synthesizers are getting more sophistacted to learn.You're about to hear an interview with a woman who epitomizes the true Internet entrepreneurial spirit. Lynda Wienman - CEO of Lynda.com. She has a solid core of truth about what's important in her life and how she wants to run her business. Authentic is the word that comes to mind - 100% real deal. You'll hear that in her voice.She's originally a teacher by training, and she brings that skill to her online business. She has learned by trial and error, and gives attention to the details and her presentation of herself and her services so her customers get exactly what they're seeking. She really really really LISTENS to what her customers want, and finds ways to make that happen. She took a HUGE risk at putting her course material at $25 a month - wait until you hear what happened on that!Think about your life. Aren't you constantly needing to learn new tools and new software? How do you keep your skills honed, competitive, and creative in today's service economy? You can buy expensive books, but hey, we all know how that really works: marginally at best. We could go to classes, but that takes time and a lot of money.Why not have a private video tutor right in your computer, teaching you exactly what you want to learn, chapter by chapter? That's what Lynda.com training is about.-- Tom Parish - Hosttom.parish @ gmail.com
