WorkBuggy.com Announces Launch of Website 
05.25.07, 1:17 PM ET 

WorkBuggy.com (http://www.WorkBuggy.com) announces the launch of the most complete and user friendly

website for the service sector and freelance work exchange. This website takes the selection process to the next

level by providing its users easy navigation, access to worldwide work and talent, and membership which is completely free. 

"Within the next five years, this is the way all service needs will be filled," said Mariela Sotolongo, Chief Executive

Officer of WorkBuggy. "In an age where time is our most precious commodity, employers can have paperless access to

service providers specific to their needs at the click of a button."

This site provides an alternative to the traditional way of providing service needs by creating only one venue for exposure and selection.

Employers will be able to expose their projects to worldwide talent at no cost. The employer posts the project with the relative details

necessary for its completion. Interested member service providers can then bid on the project. In addition to evaluating the service provider

candidates by bid amount, employers will have access to each service provider's profile which may contain samples of work, links to

websites and rating by other member employers.

Independent workers and small businesses will gain the advantage of business leads and the ability to profile a portfolio that supports the

upload of text, image and video files to expose their expertise.

How Important is Your Profile

In order to optimize your use of a website like WorkBuggy.com, how you complete your profile will play a big role in how far you can go.  Whether you are an Employer or a Service Provider it is important that you give close attention to the fields that require information when signing up or editing your profile.  

Why?  If you are a Service Provider, and you list your profile in the wrong category (many people don't choose a category and stay under "Administrative" because it is the first category in alphabetical order from the drop down menu) you will be missing out on emails that pertain to your field including emails that are sent automatically (if you choose this option) when new projects are posted in your field.  That's missing out on work. 

As an Employer, having a more detailed profile or description of what it is that you are looking for will help by 1. Putting your company name and mark out there and 2.  This will help the bidding Service Providers know a little more about what they're bidding on like location, demands and deadlines.

Also, every month a new profile is selected as a "Featured Profile" which appears on the Home page of the site.

 If you haven't signed up, what are you waiting for?  It's free.  If you have signed up, come back and visit your account and make edits where you find necessary.  If you need any help, our team is dedicated to make your ride as smooth as possible - email us at support@workbuggy.com.

Being Effecting at Work and in Life

Wondering where to start?  Take a look at Stephen R. Covey's Seven Habits of Highly Effective People as provided by Wikipedia.com: 

1. Be Proactive. Here, Covey emphasizes the original sense of the term "reactive" as coined by Victor Frankl. You can either be proactive or reactive when it comes to how you respond to certain things. When you are reactive, you blame other people and circumstances for obstacles or problems. Being proactive means taking responsibility for everything in life. Initiative and taking action will then follow. Covey also shows how man is different from other animals in that he has self-consciousness. He has the ability to detach himself and observe his own self; think about his thoughts. He goes on to say how this attribute enables him: It gives him the power not to be affected by his circumstances. Covey talks about stimulus and response. Between stimulus and response, we have the power of free will to choose our response.
2. Begin with the End In Mind. This chapter is about setting long-term goals based on "true north" principles. Covey recommends formulating a "personal vision statement" to document one's perception of one's own vision in life. He sees visualization as an important tool to develop this. He also deals with organizational vision statements, which he claims to be more effective if developed and supported by all members of an organization rather than prescribed.
3. Put First Things First. Here, Covey describes a framework for prioritizing work that is aimed at short-term goals, at the expense of tasks that appear not to be urgent, but are in fact very important. Delegation is presented as an important part of time management. Successful delegation, according to Covey, focuses on results and benchmarks that are to be agreed upon in advance, rather than prescribed as detailed work plans.
4. Think Win/Win describes an attitude whereby mutually beneficial solutions are sought that satisfy the needs of oneself, or, in the case of a conflict, both parties involved.
5. Seek First to Understand, Then to be Understood. Covey warns that giving out advice before having empathetically understood a person and their situation will likely result in rejection of that advice. Thoroughly reading out your own autobiography will decrease the chance of establishing a working communication.
6. Synergize describes a way of working in teams. Apply effective problem solving. Apply collaborative decision making. Value differences. Build on divergent strengths. Leverage creative collaboration. Embrace and leverage innovation. It is put forth that when synergy is pursued as a habit, the result of the teamwork will exceed the sum of what each of the members could have achieved on their own. “The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.”
7. Sharpen the saw focuses on balanced self-satisfaction: Regain what Covey calls "production capability" by engaging in carefully selected recreational activities.
