How To Get out of a Funk

Is there a time in your life where you really feel like NOT doing anything? IF you're building a business do you ever feel bogged down, bored, or just plain lazy? If so what do you do to get out of that "FUNK"? How do you motivate yourself?

I've found this happens to people all the time. They just get sidetracked or let life get in the way. What I've found myself, is when I don't feel like doing any thing, I force myself to get busy doing something. The more I make myself d

I'm Sold On Apple.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and got to spend time with family and friends. Hard to believe another Christmas has passed already.

I also hope today there are many new MAC users, and lots of new MACS were under the Christmas trees. I'm sold on Apple.

I guess you could say I'm a total Apple convert. For about 10 years, my friends with Apples, were forever telling me to get a MAC. I thought about it, even went to the Apple store to look but always chickened out.

Apple Store In The Mall of America

I just went on a trip to the Twin Cities of Minneapolis Minnesota.

On my flight, I used the Delta Internet on board.I was able to send some holiday cards, do some email, and work online. After landing, the next day I turned on my MAC and nothing happened. I had a white screen only and it would not boot.

I thought the hard drive must have crashed although, I didn't think they did that often. I tried everything but the computer wouldn't boot. On black Friday, I went online and made an

Christmas Shopping

IT's the season to be jolly, and busy :))

I'm very thankful I've got most all of my Christmas shopping done. My cards and gifts have been completed, and now I can relax the last week before Christmas.

How about you?

One thing I did notice this year, Black Friday started earlier than normal, with most stores opening at midnight. Crowds were crazy but more organized than normal. IF you've never experienced Black Friday I have a short vidoe clip of those shopping at Kohl's in A

Apple Mail

I'm still using Snow Leopard and debating the upgrade to Lion. Today I almost had heart failure with my Apple mail. I was on the phone, I went to open a message on my Mac to take a look at an email with the person on the phone.

I have no idea what I did, but all of a sudden a message came up that said did I really want to open something like 30,000 messages. I had a ton of mail on my Mac from the past years. Of course I didn't want to open that many messsages.

Three Blondes In Mexico

Three women go down to Mexico one night to celebrate college graduation. They got drunk, and woke up in jail, only to find that they are to be executed in the morning, though none of them can remember what they did the night before.

The first one, a redhead, is strapped in the electric chair and is asked if she has any last words. She says: "I just graduated from Trinity Bible College and believe in the almighty power of God to intervene on the behalf of the innocent.." They throw the switch

Apple Iphone 4S

I just traded up and got a new Iphone. I was disappointed it wasn't a 5, but finally decided the upgrade would be worth it. If you had a previous IPHONE it was easy to set up, and sync with Itunes.

I found a great article reviewing the phone. Hope it helps you decide if you want the upgrade.

Warren Buffet's Answer To The Economy

I was sent the following interview and I totally agree. I have always felt our congressmen should be no better than the average person. His views here have good merit.



Warren Buffett, in a recent interview with CNBC, offers one of the best quotes about the debt ceiling:

"I could end the deficit in 5 minutes," he told CNBC. "You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election

Do You Follow Up?

A month or so ago, I attended a home show. I was looking for several different things I wanted for my home. I was very interested in researching ventors with the items I was interested in.

I stopped, and talked to many vendors. I entered their "drawings" and put my information into their bowls and asked that they contact me. I was totally amazed at the lack of follow up.

Yes they sent me home with literature, and phone numbers, etc. They paid for brochures and marketing materials they w

Take Charge Of Your Life

Security comes when you take charge of your life. Are you in control of your life or does someone else pull the strings?

Do you have a job? Do you have a boss you report to? Is your JOB secure? These are all things to think about.

If you want to be in charge of your own life, you need to make plans to do that. Don't count on that Job being their forever. Create a plan B.

GMC Terrain

Just rented a 2011 GMC Terrain to be able to take a longer test drive. We had it for a week, which gave us time to test and find the pros and cons.

Overall it was pretty decent. The car handled very well, and got some decent gas mileage. We drove all over New York State, and were surprised that when stopping for gas most of the time, we'd used only 6 or 7 gallons.

We decided to take the mileage and found it was getting 22-25 mpg in a combo of city and highways. We didn't think that was

Want To Be A Walmart Greeter

Thanks to Joelene West for sharing this funy article about Wal-Mart. I am passing it on and hope you enjoy it.



Jennifer, a manager at Wal-Mart, had the task of hiring someone to fill a job opening. After sorting through a stack of 20 resumes she found four people who were equally qualified. Jennifer decided to call the four in and ask them only one question. Their answer would determine which of them would get the job.

The day came and as the four sat around the conference room table

Five Years

Time waits for no one. Where do you plan to be in five years? Have you given that any thought?

I've found that time passes quickly, even quicker than you think. What seems like a short time may well be two or three years ago. Five years goes quickly. If you don't believe me, watch how fast it goes from when you have a new born baby, till he or she enters the school years. BLINK. Time is gone.

It's the little things you do today, that will determine where you will be in five year

Greeting Cards

A few Weeks ago, I decided to sort thru the thousands of greeting cards, I've accumulated over the past 6 years. I didn't realize I had quite so many. I decided to take a count and see how many there really were.

When I got them all together in one place, it was a big overwhelming. It took me about 3 hours. It really brought back lots of memories, though seeing the amazing card and photos of families and how they have changed over the years.

Travel Weather Differences

I live in Florida. By May, we have temperatures ranging from 80-90 degrees. If you've lived in the south long, you learn that is the norm. It's hard to think about packing when you are visiting different areas and places.

I spoke with my daugher the past week and asked her what their weather was like, thinking that it would proabably be at least in the 70-80 range by now. I was surprised when she said they had been having weather this week about 30- 40 degrees.

Start And Stop

How many people do you know that start and stop things? Have you ever joined a gym and plucked down good money, only to end up not going after your first month or so. Many people sign up a contract for a year or more at a gym and don't even go half the time.

The same is true with many people that want to grow a business. They join. They start to work. Then they don't take time to learn and focus on what they are doing. They start and stop. Unfortunately, it's human nature sometime

Are You Serious About Building a business?

The people that succeed are those that stay FOCUSED and CONSISTENT. Those are the 2 key words. How committed are you? Are you serious about building a business?

It's very easy to start a business or an mlm business, and it's also easy to succeed IF you are consistent in what you do. Unfortunately, it's also sometimes easier to do nothing. That will cause you to fail.

Get More Referrals

It always amazes me and I wonder why most business people do not get more referrals. If they used their head and thought about the customer that is buying from them, they would know that the fortune made AFTER the sale.

I only give referrals to businesses that do a good job of staying in touch with me. By staying in touch, I don't mean constantly be calling or emailing me things asking me to buy more, or asking me to give them referrals. I never give a referral to anyone that does not de

Free Is Quite Expensive

How many times have you had someone contact you to tell you about a new "FREE" opportunity. All you need to do is sign up, and sit back and wait for the checks to roll in.....right? Most of the time, if you fall for this, you'll learn free is quite expensive.

It may be free to sign up. It may be free to share with others, however, if no one pays anything, or buys anything or sells a product or service the end result will be that you earn NOTHING. You will be spinning your wheels an

Learning About Your New Mac

Remember, if you just bought a MAC, you can't hurt it. Experiment and use it. It's really simple. The hardest thing I had to learn was not to think so hard and just do things logically.

What if you could enjoy the internet without having to constantly reboot your computer when it bogged down? No more defragging, etc. No more clean up constantly. Well with Apple you can just do what you want to do easily.

It does so many things you struggled with in Windows, automatically. Don't s

Making The Switch From PC's To APPLE

For many years, I had friends that had apples. I had a PC. I fought with all sorts of things. I learned how to defrag, backup, clear out cookies, temp files, set up multiple virus protection programs. I also learned how to fix most things, although many times my Apple friends would tell me I should move to Apple.

For many years I didn't. In the back of my mind, I think I believed if I switched, I would spend a lot of time relearning everything. I also didn't understand how I'd ever s

Apathy

One day I decided I was sick and tired of the way I was living, and decided to change my life.

I was tired of living paycheck to paycheck. I was a little better than most in that I did have a paycheck. I knew people that didn't. Still I was weary of having more month at the end of my money.

At the time I was not sure what I was going to do to change my life, but I knew if I didn't it would only get worse. You can't stand still. You either move forward or backwards. I started l
