Matthew’s Blog

At long last, after nearly seven years of waiting, I have successfully secured the domain name conversationcircles.com - the more logical domain for a website dedicated to learning about conversation circles.  I even confused myself when verbally sharing the link with people.  Now I no longer have to worry.  Both links will take you there.

In honor of the new domain, I have updated the website, migrated it to a Wordpress architecture, and moved servers to obtain faster service.

Check it out and if you’ve never taken a look at my first video on conversation circles - watch it there!

My work with Eat Your Elephant on Integrated Planning has made it even more clear that visions are not enough and strategic plans are not enough. All too often business planning stops at these or at strategic goals. That is not enough. Below is my latest video for Eat Your Elephant, introducing Integrated Planning and the impact of connecting head and heart in the process.

Its READY!!!!!!!!

Thank you for your patience for this exciting project. Websites In An Hour Or Less Webinar.

This has been so much fun to create and I am excited to share it with you.Ever since I pulled together the Coaching Business Essentials Program last Fall I’ve been wanting to share these ideas on building quick & easy websites with people.

I know this is a huge issue for many coaches. They don’t have websites either because it is too difficult to set up, too expensive, too frustrating or simply they don’t know what to put on their website. I trust that this program and process is painless, fun, and inspiring enough for you to act and get your new website up today.

The program is offered in a webinar (flash media recording of my computer screen while I walk you through step by step what is involved.) It picks up where the Coaching Business Essentials leaves off in the area of Web Presence. This is the HOW-TO do it part.

The program is divided up in 8 segments making it easy to digest and learn, pause the program, do it yourself and then continue. There is also a resource website set up and continually being added for support. It was created using the techniques taught in the class.

For the next two weeks the price will be $39 (half price from $79) as a get the kinks out of the system discount, but I think we’ve got most of those handled, but your feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I’ve set up a web storefront where you can buy and download the program http://www.matthewrochte.com/store/

and a website where you can catch a preview/teaser film of the program before you buy at http://www.WebsitesInAnHour.com

Affiliates & Tell A Friend!I think this program is so great that you will want to tell your friends about it. And if you are going to do that, why not let you in on some of the profit. So I am currently setting up an Affiliate Program for this program as well as my other programs and will send an announcement when it is is ready. ETA - 9 March 2007
Till then feel free to use the Tell-A-Friend service on the website
Thanks & EnjoyThis concludes the announcement for the new Websites In An Hour Webinar Program. I hope you purchase and enjoy it. I would love your feedback on the program when you are done. There is a link to a survey on the main page(index page of download) and on the resource sheet. Thanks.

I’ve launched my new online store.   No more jerry-rigging the payments for programs and classes.  Now you can purchase an ebook and webinar, but soon will be assessments and classes.

I’m using ZenCart which is an open source project http://www.zencart.com because I am a big fan of open source projects and this one came highly recommended.   Setting up shopping carts is not for the faint of heart or web illiterate.  I consider myself to be pretty literate with respect to the web and this was/is an interesting challenge.      I could have gone for http://www.practicepaysolutions.com and will consider it again if I run into too many snags with this.

MatthewRochte.com was serving as a catchall website for virtually all of my businesses. It will now serve as the hub for the websites. Check it out.

I am in the process of breaking the different topics into individual websites. Conversationcircle.com was the first to spin off. Followed by http://www.seasonedcoachescircles.com.  http://www.coachingintentionally.com is the latest one with http:www.workingintentionally.com returning to its own domain and soon to be updated with a cms or blog approach.
