My name is Clayton McIlrath and I am an entrepreneur currently living in CO. I personally enjoy the process of learning, exploring, and doing all things creative as well as sharing my experiences with others. Being an entrepreneur and business owner, I hope that my experiences may help someone else start their own venture and find success and freedom as I have! Feel free to contact me anytime for questions or opportunities.
I’ve had my fair share of installs in shared hosting, but sometimes simple things like SVN can get very tricky with providers like Hostmonster or BlueHost. I hope that this shell will work as well for you as it has for me. Just copy the code and paste into a file on your server svninstall.sh and then to run just execute . .svninstall.sh and you’re off! Comment here if you get and errors and I’d be glad to help.
It’s been a year and a half since i started this blog, and it’s amazing to look at how far I’ve come. This blog started out as a playground, where my best designs were wallpapers and my experience with development was limited to mostly front-end. In those days, I was proud of my average of [...]
There’s been a lot of speculation and arguing about the possibility of a “new” logo design for MSU Spartans (see the trademark registration and make your own guess as to why it exists). I won’t spend a lot of time trying to speculate whether or not MSU is indeed changing their logo, but if I had a say, I would propose a cross between the original logo and the new trade mark…
Everyone has opinions and advice for starting a business, but most advice tells you how to start a business with a capital investment or loan.. but when we started Chosen we didn’t want either.. we wanted to follow the same path that 37 Signals traveled by “getting real” with development and work-flow and then finding ways to have your money work for you rather than surviving on income alone. So we with little capital and a lot of heart we dove into this business head first…
I’ve been reading all sorts of literature dealing with finances and success, for the class I’m taking and one of the books I like most, is Secrets of the Millionaire Mind by T. Harv Eker. I’ve realized so many principles and character flaws that I’ve had up until now, which have hindered my success in reaching my full potential. I’m destined and plan to become a multi-millionaire, reaching my first million by 2012. I’ve grown and learned how to manage my money, grow my business, and make investments wisely. One of my motivations for success is to share what I learn freely, so that others may gain these principles. So to help you get started in becoming successful in whatever you set your hand to, check out some of my former posts on Goal Setting and Pacesetting Leadership and add to them these simple principles for defining your motivation…
Love it or hate it, I re-designed the Chosen Development website. I was growing tired of the Organic theme that I had developed for it originally. Though it was highly creative, it was too busy. I decided to go with a simple layout, color scheme and dark style. This a typical style for me, but I’m proud of that. Chosen development consists mostly of the work of myself and Shane who loves the new design also. I’ve also integrated our new Creative Brief Interview so that we can automate the initial research and gathering phase.
