Protect Your Business By Increasing Security on Social Networks and Your Website
A well-known Denver speaker and coach (and very good person to her core!) called the other day out of sheer desperation and unknowing of what to do. Her “web guy” turned on her. A promise of building her website in 3 days for $200, turned into 3 weeks with little communication – meanwhile, enjoying his new $200 profit.
She attempted to get her money back via PayPal and not only did that not happen, but he found out and threatened to bring her down. He seemed to beam with pride in the past, she told me, when talking about how much he knew about coding and what potential he had to make or break someone.
Help “Maximus” Be the Next CBS 2010 Survivor Contestant!!
I am writing to all of you in hopes that you will give me your support on something that means a great deal to a close friend…and therefore, is important to me as well.

Email List Building Opt-in Newsletter Signup Box Examples
You’ve seen them all over… especially within the past year. Website owners are catching on that building a list of email subscribers is the most valuable online asset.
What Have We Learned?
- Make your Opt-In box *stand out* on your page. Visually direct your visitors on what you want them to do
- With everyone asking for your email, you’d better have a worth-while offer as incentive otherwise you won’t be getting many visitors. A newsletter won’t cut it anymore unfortunately.
- Don’t ask for too much information. A name and email (or email field alone) is all you need, and all your visitors are willing to give away.
Your Inspiration Today: Rocky Balboa’s Speech to Son
“It ‘aint about how hard you’re hit, it’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward – how much you can take, and keep moving forward!”
When I heard this, it was as if stars aligned and it all suddenly made so much sense. I’ve heard similar phrases and words, but this particular set sunk in deep down. Anthony Robbins taught me that at the most random time, you can hear something that will Awaken the Giant Within.
Learning How to Work With Challenging People and Situations in the Workplace
“The Grass Blows, The Wind Blows, and People Do What They Do.”
My mom told me that phrase when I was a little girl and it stuck with me all these years. Grass, Wind and People are some of the constants in life. You can’t change people. You can only accept them and learn to work or live with them as they are.
