BE YOUR OWN BOSS
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I can't believe it, some of you are still using an email address
from a free provider as your primary business address! Using a
free email address for business is no better than using a pay
phone number as your business phone number. With the price of
a domain and hosting being so low these days there is absolutely
no excuse for not having your own domain even if it's for email
alone. Please folks, I can't stress to you enough how important
presenting a professional appearance is and using a free email
address is an instant image killer. I will not do business with
anyone using a free email address and I know that many other
people feel exactly the same way. An email address at you own
domain shows that you are serious about your business and not
just dabbling in internet marketing as a hobby. You can get a
domain name for $10, and a host for $5 a month, with prices
that low you have no excuse not to.


FEATURED ARTICLE
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The Seller's Creed
by Rick Beneteau

I will not make sales. I will make Customers.

I will target the heart of my Customer. Never their wallet.

My Customer is the lifeblood of my business.

Though I may sell my Customers what they want, I will
deliver what they need and make their lives better.

Courtesy and Service are cornerstones of my relationship
with my Customer.

I will view complaints as opportunities . . . opportunities
to create lifelong Customers.

The quality of my products and how I treat my Customers will
determine the level of My Success.

My prosperity will come from 'growing' people.

My best advertisement is my product, and, the Customer
service behind it.

Making money without making friends is not good business.

I will guide my business with the perfect blend of heart
and mind.

I will make Integrity my trademark. After all, isn't
integrity all I have and all I will be remembered for?

I will compete only against myself as the only true
measurement is against myself.

It is fine to fail. In fact, it is most often a requirement
of success.

My reputation is everything - my ego, nothing.

Every pittance I earn unjustly is a debt of fortune I must
repay.

No matter the fame or fortune that may follow me, My values,
My family and My friends must remain at the very core of my
being.

Better I be trusted and respected, than be materially rich.

Better I be a dolphin swimming with sharks, than a shark.

DOWNLOAD OF INTEREST
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

It's about that time again, time to clean up all the garbage that
you downloaded, installed, but never really ended up using. Open
up your Windows control panel, then click the add/remove programs
icon and start removing all that junk! I know this isn't exactly
a "download of interest" but from time to time you should clean
up your system to ensure that it continues to run smoothly. Each
extra program on your system leaves you more vulnerable to hacks
and viruses that exploit older files that you haven't bothered
to either update or remove. Please don't just delete all the old
programs you want to get rid of, uninstall them, there is a big
difference between the two! Uninstall selectively and make sure
you check with other people who may be using the same computer
before going overboard. Remove only the files, folders, and
programs you are absolutely certain you and the other users
of your computer won't ever be using again.
