A Hard Lesson Learned ....
Are you like me? I like to handle things on my own so I don't even THINK about incorporating help with anything I am working on ... especially my business as a whole.Well, I learned something new recently. It was a HORRIBLE experience that actually turned out for the better. Let me tell you my story:I have a team of about 2000 associates. Since all my sites are hosted at Host4Profit except for the site that their websites are hosted on, I decided to transfer everything over.
Well, I have transferred many sites before so I knew how it worked. I knew I would get access to Host4Profit before transferring with my registrar and that all I had to do was upload everything over to the new host while my old host was still active. This would make a seamless transfer. No one would ever know anything happened ...To make a long story short, it didn't turn out to be as seamless as I hoped and things were a little messed up for about a day. Needless to say, I received TONS of emails!"What happened?!""Where did you go?!""Give me my money back!""Hello? Are you there?"Well, I couldn't ANSWER these emails because I was busy getting the transfer problem fixed.
This caused most of them to email me a SECOND time, therefore doubling the amount of emails sitting in my email box! Stress was building as I worked to get the problem fixed ....After the problem was finally resolved, I sent an update letting everyone know what happened. I got back to any emails that I felt needed answering ... this whole thing took almost 18 hours of my time and NO SLEEP for me!The stress and the fact that I had no sleep took it's toll on me. When I got some really rude emails from some angry customers and associates, I didn't take my own advice and let it sit until I calmed down. You know what I did instead? I gave refunds to all of them! I didn't even want to deal with it ...
as a result, I refunded over $1000 in sales.I know, I know ... you're asking yourself, "How could that be a good thing?" Well, it made me get out of my bull stubborn "I'll handle it all" attitude and incorporate some much needed help. Now I have someone to answer those emails, someone to answer those calls, and various other things. What a RELIEF! Why didn't I do it sooner?!
:)If you answered "Yes" to my first question above, heed my advice. Take off those bull horns and find a couple of people that you trust to help with some of your dauntless duties.
And if your business is not big enough yet to incorporate help and you're handling it just fine ... don't forget this advice when it grows right before your very eyes ----Copyright 2004 Diane Hughes.

Are you tired of losing while playing Texas Holdem Poker online?
When we play online poker we all expect to be big winners.
We have all read the stories and have seen the online players go on to become big time money winners in the biggest event of all ? The World Series of Poker.
Unfortunately, when most beginners start out they end up losing money.
Then in an effort to win back what they have lost, they end up losing even more.
So, how do you avoid becoming like most beginners?
If you are in the midst of a big losing streak, how do you get to playing winning poker?
Well?
The first thing that I would do is to completely analyze my game to find out what I am doing wrong.
Ask yourself questions such as:
Am I playing way too many hands?
Am I paying attention to how the others at the table are betting?
Do I play aggressively?
Passively?
Does my position at the...

An Extended Christmas Animation
According to the blog entitled "Animation" which was posted by Neil last December 2, 2004 at www.eightlines.com, someone spent way too long on a Christmas Flash animation. You can actually view the animation at http://www.tongcom.co.kr/dingani_13.htm. It was definitely enjoyable and entertaining! The animator used the song "Last Christmas" by Beatles as the background for the animated Christmas music video.I must say that the one who made this animation has already mastered the Flash software. For your information, Flash is a powerful software program that can be used to create animated movies that are small in file size, load quickly, and incorporate user interaction and sound. Apparently, it may appear to be a relatively simple program because of its few tools compared to other software programs.
However, a world of complex authoring structures, advanced techniques,...

What You Need To Know About Incorporating Your Business
Most US-based small businesses are getting eaten alive in taxes! That statement has proven itself true over and over again. However, while small business owners want to save money, many are literally afraid of incorporating their companies. The paperwork, the additional reports, having a set payroll amount each month, and other visions swirl around their heads. Those visions could be costing you a ton!Let me take a few minutes to explain what you need to know about incorporating your business. While it certainly isn't a move every business will want to make, there are definitely some large benefits associated with incorporation.MYTHIncorporating means I can't take money whenever I want it.TRUTHYes you can! This is a MYTH that holds a lot of small business owners back from incorporating.
If you set a payroll amount for yourself, then decide you want/need more money, you simply write yourself another check and call it an "owner distribution" or a "draw."MYTHThere's too much paperwork...

Golf Exercise And Stretch Program For Total Golf Performance
Golf exercise and stretch.
This is a combination I use in all of my golf fitness programs both online and with my personal golf clients.
It's the ultimate combination to improve the golfers swing quickly and efficiently.A fitness program for golfers that does not incorporate a golf exercise and stretch is doing more harm than good.
Golfers need that blend of dynamic strength specific to the golf swing and the range of motion to hold it for 18 holes.So many times I hear a golfer mention stretching only.
This is a big mistake!
Stretching without strengthening does not equal permanent range of motion improvements.
An over-stretched muscle that doesn't have strength opens up the possibilities for injury.That is why golf exercise and stretch is the key.
For every golf exercise, there is an appropriate stretch.
Taking this approach will create a powerful swing with less tension and stress put on the body.An example of golf...
