I'm looking for a web developer to contract with us -- hopefully long-term -- to develop [login to view URL] and associated sites as we pursue our vision of changing how the world views, practices, and teaches personal responsibility. If you are interested, please let me know. This is posted on my blog and at [login to view URL], [login to view URL], and guru.com. **Overview** I'm an expert in how personal responsibility works in the mind. This research is less than two decades old and has the capacity to change how the world thinks about responsibility. I've invested two decades in field study applying this information for leadership, teamwork, culture change, coaching, and personal success. And I have a successful career as a management consultant, speaker, and book author. My intent is to provide more information, products and services directly through [login to view URL], and limit my overall number of travel days to service clients at their sites. I will continue to pursue high-leverage speaking engagements and workshops, offer tele-seminars and coaching programs, and sell information products. I also intend to prepare other coaches, teachers, and counselors to take up this valuable work. During the last year I've studied and experimented with internet marketing enough to learn that I can drive traffic and sell products and services. I've also learned that my main site is poorly organized and focused for internet marketing. I'm looking for a web development expert to work with over time to tackle incremental improvement projects. If you play at developing successful Direct Response sites for experts like me (for whom it is work rather than play) then I want to talk with you about freeing me up to play at teaching people how personal responsibility works in the mind. More in the Deliverables section... If you are interested, please contact me ASAP to express interest and share your qualifications. I'll select a short list to request bids.

Thanks for corresponding or bidding on my project. I apologize for being slower than planned in reviewing responses. I have engaged with a developer I worked with in the past whom I did not know was available to me anymore until after posting this project. We are in the process of a joomla site conversion and don't anticipate any other development needs at this time.
