99 Word Processors
And every one’s a bitch. ::sigh::
So here’s the skinny – I’ve been cranking out books and ebooks this year. I’ve been using OpenOffice as my business suite for several years now. I love it – I really do! Anything I output directly from any of the programs works great. I’m no wiz on any of the progs – I use the word processor the most – but everything I do seems to work great, as long as I keep it in-house.
Cocktail Napkin Business Plans
All small businesses need a business plan. Most don’t need Profit & Loss statements and multi-stage expansion projections, especially when starting out. You just need something that will fit on the back of a cocktail napkin, and explains briefly what your business does, who your intended customers are, and how you propose to reach them. Plus, as a “scorecard” of sorts, you should look at your current income, and set a goal for the next year. Below is a sample (and simple) outline.

Book Publishing Schedule Set For 2015
I’ve been working on the layout for my next book, Profitable Web Hosting. In addition, I’ve firmed up dates through the end of 2015 for books and ebooks that I’m working on. I have a couple dates where I’m planning on publishing something, although I’m not yet sure what they’ll be.
Here’s the latest list with the dates:
Personal Compliments Are Worth More Than Cash
Want to show your appreciation to someone? Don’t whip out your wallet. Instead, take the time to personally compliment them.
Whether its someone you’ve hired to do a job (like a contractor or a house cleaner), a co-worker or employee, or even a customer taking a few minutes and giving them some positive feedback can make a huge difference. You can do this face-to-face, write a letter to their employer or business, or even post a note in a place where their other customers or co-workers are able to see it.
Motivational Pix – MacArthur 03
Age wrinkles the body. Quitting wrinkles the soul. – Gen. Douglas MacArthur
