On reviewing old(er) posts, it may be well to republish this from back in 2008. The NHT Mission statement still holds, though by now I have gone through many [!] iterations of the Design, for getting this enterprise established and built. 

It’s all about new beginnings, collaboration, maximizing strengths, and overcoming weaknesses.

"There exists within all of us a longing to leave a legacy.

We need to know that our lives are important,
that our being here matters."

-- David McNally, business consultant

You’ve probably read something similar to that leading quote in motivational and business articles, perhaps in educational material as well. Did you know that of Internet users surveyed in the last few years, the 3 top responses given for why they were active online ( their driving needs) were:

• “I want to make a difference”;
• “I want to be heard”; and that
• “individuals want to matter.”

Interesting: Not for information, not for shopping, not entertainment. For Change – for Expression – for Purpose. Of course we can and do daily make a Difference – for Better or Worse! We are already shaping how life will become, if we use the gifts, talents, skills and opportunities that we have.

I have been pursuing ways to build on these needs and enhance the possibilities of postive outcomes.

Many of you know me as a professional musician; some of us go way back to when I was in banking and food service! Having held many types of jobs and roles, I have experienced some frustration in finding the right “fit”. In examining my own talent profile and work, I find common threads in: creativity, technical orientation, team and project leadership, self-motivation and problem-solving.

The problem is, within my chosen framework of classical music, I have not been able to combine these into a satisfying and sustainable “whole”. So I am seeking ways to use these abilities in new ways. This has led me to this project. My business pursuit is about Talent and Marketing, but not about the Employment industry or HR, and not even PR. 

No Hidden Talent Mission Statement - drafted Nov. 2007

“No Hidden Talent: Using your Talents for the Glory of God and the Good of People.”

Discovering, developing, utilizing our personal gifts; our personal presence, our purpose, our impact; building collaborative synergy through our unique roles, contributions, and commitments in life.

No Hidden Talent and its Brands are committed to making a difference on the Internet and in real life by providing resources, products and services that enable

Connecting People Now --

to the best of the Past,
with the brightest of the Future
and to each Other.

We will accomplish this Mission by developing web and consumer products that Purposefully ignore and eliminate the trivial, false, worthless, hurtful, oppressive, destructive and evil contributions from human existence—that instead Give Attention to the Good that will endure in spite of these. (There are already enough good ways and means of learning about, and learning from, the mistakes and sins of humanity—through education, the family, and spiritual growth.)

We will give time and attention only to positive, progressive and helpful people / resources / news / ideas / and actions, as they are found in the world and in cyberspace. This is to advance the cause of the “SubVersive Good— Building and Leaving a Legacy of Good.”

We are guided by the belief that what we do here in our lifetime has meaning now and lasting worth, when it furthers God’s Eternal Purposes of restoring all of creation to right relationship with himself. In small ways, we all can do our part as “salt and light” to preserve what’s good, enhance and contribute to positive human experience, and reveal the truth of God’s design for all of life and a re-created “heaven and earth.”

Connect. Together. Create the TrustWorthyWeb.

Successes and Failures

My company, No Hidden Talent [NHT], is founded on the principle of seeking out and promoting the good, the best, the positive. In pursuing that mission, we encounter much in our search/quest that is none of these - eg. the ugly, the wrong, the mistakes, the junk. And we ourselves will make mistakes along the way, so for our stake-holders I will periodically update our current status - both our progress, and what we've learned through setbacks and failures.

I am at a point in my life [whew! it sure took a long time] where fear of failure and the need to always be right [successful !] does not hold the power over me like it used to. . . so here goes.

In attempting to create a local sports voting poll, we ran into difficulty with admin. and sports interests who were afraid that this would "commercialize" the game. Also the technical interface of online service - to - mobile - to - voting results proved too big an obstacle to overcome. Our local programming talent couldn't seem to get the code right and we ran out of time.

There was no time for beta testing, no fix before the live game, so we backpedaled with our sponsor-merchants and had to apologize for the breakdown.

In the process I did initiate and build on some good business relationships, and met some positive people in the community. We hope this spring to rollout another attempt [ with the bugs fixed beforehand!]

Final Note: The second year-attempt also met with operational bugs, so had to be scrapped.
In the mean-time, you can text a mobile vote for MVP's at the SuperBowl instead! :-D

Start a Business on a Kernal of an Idea-- Be Surprised as it Grows

Lo the months have been passing slowly, work progressing in business development. In this time NoHiddenTalent has acquired several internet properties for development and continues to implement a forward-looking business model. [ codename: Orange You Glad? ]

Project Primary [ codename: GRIN ]

While under the radar we are working to establish a covert presence for the launch of a new concept in web use, which is currently in pre-alpha stage. Never fear, the future of the web is near.

Here's a good quote to keep us/you/we/them going:

Don't Believe in Miracles, Depend on Them
By Max Stein

You don't need an explanation for everything.
Recognize that there are such things as miracles,
events for which there are no explanations.
Later, knowledge may explain those events quite easily.

The fact that you can plant a seed and it becomes a flower,
share a bit of knowledge and it becomes another's,
smile at someone and receive a smile in return are common miracles.

Your duty to yourself is to believe that for which
you have sufficient evidence,
and to suspend your judgment when you have not.

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

Some things have to be believed to be seen.

Vision is the art of seeing invisible things.
