Harley-Performance is Born One day while speaking to a friend my perspective was changed forever. I realized that my approach had been completely wrong, and if I wanted to share my passion with others it was going to take more than a list of articles and links. If I wanted to share my ideas with others I needed a way to deliver in an organized manner without drowning in details. Like most I hold a full time job that wouldn't allow me to devote that much time to another project. Paying someone to build me a web page was out of the question and my own technical skills were limited. My friend then introduced me to Site Build It which set me in the right direction. Not only could I reach others in a professional manner, but I didn't have to pay a fortune for web designers or software. To this day I continue to build my pages and reach other Harley enthusiasts using SBI. After a couple months of sharing my ideas and articles through my site, I found that the site started taking on a life of it's own. Not only did the site allow me to personally express myself, but my pages were paying for themselves ten times over with very little effort. The Journey Continues Harley Performance has been running for over 4 years mow and I still pour my passion into it. The only difference now is I don't waste all the hours of time I originally did with my first attempts. Harley Performance gives back to me as much as I put into it, while still allowing me the time to do what led me here in the first place... the desire to get out there and RIDE! If I weren't such a workaholic I probably would have quit my day job and devoted my days just to Harley-Performance. As it is, I only put a couple hours in per month. In the future I may turn my attention to taking these pages to a higher level. Update: Harley Performance has expanded and now operates the Bike Talk Motorcycle Forum originally founded by Cyber Dave of Direct Parts. Be sure to stop by to talk with thousands of other motorcycle enthusiasts like yourself. I would greatly encourage anyone with a hobby, interest, or passion to consider sharing that knowledge with others. It really doesn't matter what it is, if you are interested in it there are likely others who want to hear about it. Not only will you find great personal satisfaction from sharing with others, but you could likely turn those ideas into extra money or a new career. The internet is drowning in advertising and commercials, but the desire for content rich information is what everyone is actually looking for. Small businesses or those looking to use the web to let others know about an idea can also use SBI to get the word out to others. No fuss, and no marketing mumbo-jumbo! Building this web site has opened up a whole new world for me. I just wish I would have found out a long time ago how easy it was to do it myself. As Harley Performance grows I will update this page along with the rest of the site. I hope you enjoy the ride as much as I enjoy sharing it with you.
Enjoy the Ride! |
