I have a new business saver and I’m so happy they aren’t very expensive. Memory sticks and sd flash memory can bring so much comfort in the fact that you are not backed up and portable.
My printer is trying very hard to die. I am not ready to admit it, but I do think it needs a burial. It’s an awesome all-in-one HP office jet, but today it dawned on me it’s over 5 years old. It’s gotten a ton of use and I honestly have no idea the life span of a printer. I’ve never used one up before now. lol

It’s past time to be working on these. By now you should be going over your goals for 2008 and seeing what you have accomplished for the year and what you need to add or re-evaluate for 2009.
Pay close attention to the items that worked well and didn’t work. If it is something that didn’t work, but still has to be completed, brainstorm other ways to accomplish it.
Write out your generic goals for the year with a lot of space between. Then be more specific about each goal. On another sheet, work out each step on how you will accomplish it, be very specific.

The new law went into effect in July, but I’m still not used to it. I believe that many states banned the use of hand held cell phones while driving and I do agree it’s a good idea. But I just can’t get used to it still!
I have a Bluetooth headset but it doesn’t have directions anymore and I haven’t figured out how to get it to sync. It’s supposed to be easy, but it won’t do it for me of course. It’s a matter of taking it to the Verizon store and just having them do it for me.

Top Ten Reasons You Need to Be Blogging!
When I network with small business owners and online marketers, I often find myself asking them if they’ve launched their blog yet. Adding a blog has so many important benefits and it’s no wonder that huge corporations and megastores are also getting into blogging. Especially for the micropreneur however, blogs have several distinct advantages. Here are a few.
1. A blog is search engine food! Google and the other big search engines love content and a blog can help you get free search engine traffic. Recently search engines are giving more weight to blogs because they want to offer the freshest, most relevant content to internet searchers.

Going where it’s warm is top priority for us on vacation. If we are flying out, it just depends on the money situation to whether we can go to Jamaica or a Vegas vacations. As long as the snow stays away we are totally happy with Vegas until we make a good chunk of extra money and can run away for a week down farther south.

Are you using Facebook? This is a great new way to keep in touch with others on the Web. It provides real time updates on what people are talking about, what they’re sharing, including images and stories. If you are on other social networking sites like MySpace or if you blog, you can link your sites to Facebook and keep everyone up to date. One of the unique features of Facebook that a lot of network marketing people use the list of feeds available to the public. This lists the most popular topics and pictures that people are posting online. Marketing gurus can use this list to promote their opportunities and get a better response based on the trends online. With the millions of people using Facebook every day, you can take advantage of this growing network and increase traffic to your own website.
