I’ve been crafting “Patreon Brand Promise” for my 6 website makeovers and weekly campaign deliverables and benefits. But, is it time to pivot instead?
“The Tau of Steves: What You Don’t Know Could Fill a Book”
“5” Steve Jobs, (1955 – 2011): “If it’s been a long while and you’re still not achieving your goal, it might be the wrong aim. Get out and find something new to want.” Pisces
Hi and welcome to Thursday’s Episode 165 in the first season of “My 1-Year Natural Experiment” on this 6th day of February in winter of 2020.
Context
Friends of Steves (FOSs) Preview: emails for a soft launch and you’re invited.
-
-
- It’s been a long time;
- After trips to Italy and Norway, I’ve been busy putting pieces in place for my career transition;
- I’ve always valued your opinion and advice;
- if it’s not an imposition, I’m wondering if you could take a few minutes to preview my work and offer suggestions for fine-tuning it;
- You know me, I’m not from a sales, marketing or advertising background and I am a rookie when it comes to social media, so any recommendations for promoting my new work will be greatly appreciated.
- Feel free to offer me your first impressions so I can incorporate them into my next release.
- Follow and share.

I began a 2-day analysis of my websites and change them while identifying potential knowledge products for Patreon as bonus offerings.
Comparison of Know Laboratories against the “Patreon Brand Promise”:
-
- The menu doesn’t add value and just takes you to places away from one click to Patreon. So, I can eliminate them. Add “New technologies and artificial intelligence take away the market for your skills and talents” from Knowledge Banking.
- I need to select three more blog posts to update “INSIGHT AND FORESIGHT” — testing the Patreon integration.
- Rewrite “ABOUT THE KNOW LABORATORIES” pulling from “How to Thrive in an Age of Accelerating Uncertainty” in “ePub Formatted Chapters” folder
Here’s a short list of knowledge products triggered by the brand promise comparison and website makeover:
List of Steps.
Vacation Checklist.
Profiles-At-A-Glance.
Updated editions of 2009 book chapters.
“11 Simple Steps for Finding the Authentic Quality-of-Life You Deserve” can become a missing chapter from the first 5-book series and a bonus offer, for example.
Evidence
Random ones that make me want change my sign.
Researcher’s Note: Need I remind everyone that today is NOT my birthday, never was and never will be? But, I do like the self-expression in a variety of mediums, reaching those hard-to-find folks, and who wouldn’t love a financial element, right?
Today’s Holiday Birthday:
“This solar journey emphasizes self-expression you’ll share in different mediums, genres, colors and tones. One of your many gifts will be communicating with your hard-to-reach people. Your willingness to bridge gaps will grow your influence. There’s a financial element to this you’ll love.”
But, now let’s turn to today’s Holiday Tau to let the competition begin for the most relevant.
Sorry Steve, our Patron Saint, yours doesn’t rise to the occasion.
“3” Steve McQueen (1930 – 1980): “Can love that’s not put in motion really be love? Yes. What’s happening is internal — ideas and intentions in a stew of potential that could be turned into love as a verb.” Aries
Smithy, what do you have for us? Really, that’s all. Sorry, off with your head — just kidding in the Alice in Wonderland kind of way.
“2” Steve Smith, 30: “You can make a difference just by talking about what you know and love. The passion you feel is tangible.” Gemini
Hey, Steve your’s must be for my Friends of Steves soft launch campaign, right?
“4” Steve Howey, 42: “It’s not that you need to network or want to be more popular. You’re genuinely curious, and people will return the interest today.” Cancer
So it helps if you are a founder or a comedian? How does that work on a crowdfunding platform like Patreon?
“5” Steve Carell, 57; Steve Martin, 74; Steve Wozniak, 69: “When what you’re selling makes sense, and people want it badly, the sale is merely a transaction. You provide it, they buy it, no convincing involved.” Leo
Catchy, I’ll give you that G&G, but I have to ask if the opposite is true?
“4” Steve Greene, 34; Steve Guttenberg, 61: “Don’t let anyone waste your time with catastrophizing a noncatastrophe. ” Virgo
Yours makes a lot of sense and is what I’m hoping occurs, but when does the shear weight of the list sap my motivation?
“4” Steve Kerr, 54: “With the right sort of tasks on the list, you can schedule yourself densely and be massively productive, gaining vitality as you go.” Libra
And, the winner is, Mister Apple (and Pixar) for keeping an eye on the length of delayed gratification as a virtue or a weakness. Both seem to be part and parcel of being a card carrying introvert.
“5” Steve Jobs, (1955 – 2011): “If it’s been a long while and you’re still not achieving your goal, it might be the wrong aim. Get out and find something new to want.” Pisces

Trends —
Short-Form —
I had tons of fun riding an e-bike in a national park. I also broke the law. Oops
Long-Form —
Michael Connelly has become one of my favorites for his style of writing found in his Bosch series, including “Lost Light” for his turn of a phrase like, “At night when I try to sleep but can’t … It is when all the pathways seem to connect and I see the people I have loved.” Or, like, “Like trying to figure out Vietnam in 1967 by watching Walter Cronkite at night.”
Progress and Procrastination —
Procrastinate while feeling empty after trying to figure out what this nation has become by watching the Senate acquit Trump without calling any witnesses. What’s up with that?
Speaking Volumes —
Treating “11 Simple Steps for Finding the Authentic Quality-of-Life You Deserve” as a missing chapter from the first 5-book series and a bonus offer, for example.
Banking and ATMs —
