When I first came across the e-currency trading business on the advice of a friend, I didn't take the opportunity very seriously. It appeared to be just another "hyped up money making scheme." From what my friend was telling me it seemed too good to be true. However, being naturally curious and with a deep desire to profit from the internet, I decided to do some research on my own. The very first thing I did was run a search on e-currency scams. I was led to several online forums and was ...

"How Often Should You E-mail Your List?" by Joe Vitale Last month someone on my e-mail list wrote me a long e-mail calling me an "Internet whore." He went on to say he was un-subscribing from my newsletter. He added that I was "slocking ***** and that I had "lost my ethics." I thought about the anonymous writer and reflected on what he said. It made me wonder how often any of us doing business online should send out our email. Weekly? Monthly? Hourly? Are there any rules at all? Let's ...

We have all heard this lament, but how much do we practice it. With all the relaxed rules today, do we really present ourselves in the best light. It seems all the articles I see today are about how old fashioned today's workers find their supervisors or bosses to be in the way they dress, the policies they implement and the old fashioned ways in which they conduct their business. I am of the belief, and will continue to believe, that the first impression I make is the lasting one. Whether it ...
