Write an Article in 10 minutes

Often simple is best. If you’re like I was, you might think that you need to write the next best business book; when what’s important is putting pen to paper. To write an article start with “How to” or “7 Myths of” or “Secrets to”. Then write a list of 7 to 10 topics you’d like to cover. Under those topics write two sentances explaining each topic. There — you have your first article and it’s on one page (use it as a marketing tool when you network)! You can always change the title, but not having to start with a completely blank page, and having a title is very helpful. Thanks to Maria Marsala from . For

Tax Tip: Keep it In The Car

It's so easy to lose a receipt or not remember a trip you've taken, Keep an envelope in the car and put every receipt in it. When the envelope is full (or before your bookkeeper arrives) bring the contents of envelopes into your office.  (Leave the envelope in the car or it won't be there for the next batch of receipts). Then, have your bookkeeper pull out what's deductible. Keep a pad in the car to write all of the day's business trips. You're bound to get extra business mileage because you logged in a side trip that you soon would have forgotten.

So, what’s your number? Are You Under 1 Million?

2022-08-07T17:46:04-04:00March 26th, 2011|Social Media|0 Comments

Today I received a Thank You email today from Reid Hoffman, Co-founder and Chairman of LinkedIn.  You may have received the same email.    It seems that I  was one of the first million LinkedIn members, actually I was one of the first 1/2 million members.  I'm number  399261 out of 100 million members.  Not surprising since I've been online since 1992 and purchased my first computer in 1981! It's been interesting being an early adopter of LinkedIn and watching it grow from a niched recruitment site to what you see today -- a networking site.   So what's your number? What changes have you watched happen and enjoyed or wished it didn't happen? P.S.:  Your

Internet stopped working?

I wish I can tell you why it's happened, but I can't. I can guess --- Tuesday is Microsoft Update day. Possibly an update was corupted. Maybe not. What I can provide you with one fix (the one I used) and a suggestion. If you are using Norton as your anti-virus protection: Go to Norton Go to PC Security Protection (hover your mouse over it) Then click on Run Live Update. It takes a while to run. Open your Internet Explorer. Worked like a charm, which is why I'm online sending you this message. If you don't have Comcast and Norton --- call the company who provides your Internet access as I'm sure they'll walk you
