Father’s Day
Taking dad out to breakfast or dinner? Or presenting him with that tie he won’t wear after today but will cherish when ever he looks at it? After all, it came from you. While most of us may not chose the most appropriate gift for dad, today we do honor him for what he gives us on a daily basis.
My dad passed very early in my life so I did not get to know him as I would have liked. I know he cared for his family. That he was hard worker, trying to provide.
As a child I do have memory of him taking my brother and I up the street to the creamery (we lived in a small town in Pennsylvania) and enjoying some ice cream with him – he loved ice cream. But it wasn’t until our teenage and later years when we would have really come to know and enjoy him. Unfortunately that was not to be. Enjoy your dad on this Father’s Day.
When dad died, we had an uncle who tried to become a substitute dad for us. But that was not to be either as he passed sooner than he should have. For Larry and I this was a sort of double whammy. Yes we had other family as mom
So spend some time with your dad, get to know and enjoy him – as well as mom – on this his day but on all other days as well.
Happy Father’s Day To All,
Bob

I have not become what you might have wished for me. I have not used all that you have given me to become all I might be. And may never.

Be that as it may, I take some small pride in saying, “those who know me do so because they wish to, not because they have to”! And that is because of what you gave to me.

Make Summer Your Hottest Months
Do you view the summer months as a time to kick
back, relax, and do just enough to get you by? Or do you
consider it one of your hottest months (no pun intended)?
I ask because I’m intrigued by the new teleclass Millionaire
Entrepreneurial Coach Ali Brown is hosting. It’s called “Ali’s
Top 10 Recommendations to Kick-Up Your Revenues This Summer!”
Great Web Hosting
Every one needs a good web host for their sites – no ifs, ands or buts!
I have been with my hosting provider for some two years now and I have to say they have provided me outstanding service – no, I am not a high dollar player with them. But let me tell you, there are some well known names who do host with them. Such as Mike Filsaime.
A New Look at the 80/20 Rule
By Michelle Howe
The economic recession has made all of us rethink our marketing
plans. What used to work without fail is now either working
poorly or not at all. Companies need to go back to the drawing
board and start again with the basic truths of marketing.
One of the most consistent and true basics of marketing is the
80/20 rule, also known as the Pareto principle. According to
Wikipedia, “The principle was suggested by management thinker
Joseph M. Juran. It was named after the Italian economist
Vilfredo Pareto, who observed that 80% of income in Italy was
received by 20% of the Italian population. The assumption is
that most of the results in any situation are determined by a
small number of causes.”
Do You Need Money For Your Business
Yes, you do need money to run your business
There is no getting around that – whether your funding comes from an angel investor, family members/friends, your savings, your credit cards, or equity in your property(s).
Note: It’s always a good idea to get everything in writing when
dealing with money matters involving relatives or friends.
At the outset I believe you should look at the ‘normal’ sources for business funding, rather than personal sources. Always try to protect your personal credit when ever possible.
Note: always try to protect your personal assets when deciding how to
obtain business financing. If the business isn’t successful, you don’t want to
see your personal assets evaporate.

Communications
Tools for communicatiions come in all sizes and shapes, from written to spoken to visual. And one of the best tools is video, which can combine written, visual and spoken.
Videos offer a wide range of subject matter, from straight ‘reporting’, to family memories, to a great learning tool. I for one find it much easier to learn something when it’s visual, such as a video, and I can move through the subject backwards and forwards, as my learnig process dictates.
