Quote of the day:
"A professional is a person who can do his best at a time when he doesn't
particularly feel like it." - Alistair Cooke



Interesting fact about today:
 

Which technically noon Greenwich time is 7 a.m. EST so perhaps we should just scream for a moment whenever we feel like it today, as it's 6:30 now as I start to write this! LOL

and yes, we all experience moments of frustration. I know I do, but it's a matter of how one handles it.

You "could" go off on someone, you "could" cuss them out, you "could" ignore things and let it fester and build or you "could" have a moment of frustration scream and let it all out and feel better.

Even the most professional, most successful person experiences frustration. It's normal. So, if things are frustrating you in your business right now go ahead and have your momentary scream and then let's proceed back on the path to success.



Tip of the day:
If you have a business idea, GO FOR IT!
How simple is that.
Of course, do some research on it first and ensure there's a market and/or a need for the product or service you're going to offer.
If the business idea is one that may seem "odd" to others, don't worry about it.
Do what you want and what you feel comfortable with and if it feels right to you, put it into action.
Do not listen to naysayers, friends, relatives who may find the idea slightly odd to insane! Sadly there are  a lot of well meaning people who just don't grasp something new or something they don't understand. Some care so much about you that they don't want you to set yourself up for failure or disappointment. That won't be the case if it's something you want to do and are driven to succeed, along with being a service or product that people will use.
So, some of the 'odd' ideas are those that do the best since they may be so 'odd' or have some other trait about them that the ordinary people simply didn't grasp...leaving you to succeed and take over in that area!

Tidbits on Plug boards

By Tara Burner

Just wanted to give a few friendly hints about utilizing plug boards.

Plug boards are great for generating traffic and helping your site in the search engines if done properly.

Plugs are generally 88 x 31 graphics (they do also have plug boards with full banner sizes as well)

Most plug board users do require you to have a plug board on the site you're plugging as well.
It is only fair after all, that if YOU come to their site to plug that they should be able to go to YOUR site to plug too.

Most plug board users have all their guidelines and rules on the plug board page.
It's always a good idea to abide by those guidelines.
Even though I have it all spelled out clearly on all my plug boards, there are still many who insist on plugging and they don't have a return plug board, in which case as it clearly states, I will delete and ban the plug until the site gets a plug board for me to utilize as well.

Some also only allow certain types of sites to plug.

If you don't have a plug board, you can get the codes at http://www.plug-board.com (though this one is usually up and down and not reliable) and there are settings that you can customize as far as background colors, number of plugs on the board and other options too.
 

The one I suggest is at http://www.plugboard.org
 

You can download the script, install it and you have it on your own server so you're totally in control of everything. This is the best way to do it so you're not relying on someone else's server or coding to keep your plug board up and running.
 

Keep all these in mind while plugging and you can plug your way to more business!!

just a few tidbits for everyone!
