Ten Commandments Of How To Get Along With Others
 
1. Always say LESS than you think.
 
2. Make promises sparingly and keep them
faithfully.
 
3. Speak kind and encouraging words often.
 
4. Show your interest in others by being an
active listener.
 
5. Be cheerful. Everyone has their own
problems. No sense in sharing yours.
 
6. Keep an open mind. Discuss, don't argue.
 
7. Discourage gossip. Don't initiate or participate
in it.
 
8. Be sensitive to the feelings of others.
 
9. Don't be upset about ill-natured remarks
made about you. Live so that no one will
believe them.
 
10.Take control of yourself. Don't allow your
reactions to control you.

Hello Exchangers, 


A "Warm Welcome" to all our new subscribers.

I was watching my kids open all their presents
the other day.  I have to admit, all the aggravation
of the holiday season goes out the window when you
watch the looks on their faces as the amazement
of opening each present is a moment to cherish.
 
I had to laugh though.  When it came time to open
a present from my son's Aunt and Uncle, I sat their saying
to myself, PLEASE don't let it be another Air Hockey
Game like they gave him the past 2 years in a row.
I said to myself, there is NO WAY they would do that again.
They must remember at least giving it to him once.  He tore
off the wrapping paper, the box was upside down.  And when
he turned it over, there it was, ANOTHER AIR HOCKEY GAME.
The EXACT same one they gave him the past 2 years.  I did not
have the heart to tell my brother about the duplicate last year,
so this year, I will have to open my mouth and ask him if we can
exchange it.  NOW I get to wait on the LONG, LONG lines
at the toy store for an exchange.  Something I am really looking forward
to. LOL  :)
 

Now, enough of my babble.  I need your help...
The Partners-2-Success Program is steadily
growing.  We have added many new ebooks,
and digital software.  However, we need YOUR HELP
in order to continue to grow.

Small Business 2003 Forecast
by Diane Hughes
http://www.probiztips.com

«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤

It's been a long three years!  The American economy has been in
recession officially since 1999, and this has truly wreaked havoc
on many companies - large and small, American and international.
So what does 2003 hold in store?  Will things remain "as-is" or
will we begin to see improvements?
 
According to many industry leaders, drastic improvements are on
the horizon.  Will there be a "free fall" of money?  Hardly, but
if you play your cards right, 2003 can be "The Year of the Small
Business."
 
The Economy
 
According to officials at a recent seminar I attended, sponsored
by Edward Jones Investments and Lord Abbett (investment
strategists), the economy has taken more than the "old one, two."
It has taken the old one, two, three!
 
Three devastating events have occurred simultaneously that have
never occurred (together) before.  America had a recessed
economy, her corporate officers created quite a scandal, and she
had a stock market crash.  Yes, all three have happened before -
but never at the same time.
 
The other interesting thing these financial giants stated was
that the U.S. economy has always rebounded within two to three
years.  We're now exiting year number three.  The importance of
this is that an economic rebound is just around the corner.
 
Already we've seen surges in the market, and greater leaps and
bounds are yet to come.
 
Public opinion, which also plays a vital role in the state of the
U.S. economy, is on the rise with over 75% of small businesses
being positive about the state of affairs in 2003 (according to
Dunn & Bradstreet's annual small business report).
 
Outmaneuvering the Competition
 
While all this information is good news for any business owner,
it is especially positive for small business owners.  As the
economy takes an upward turn, small business owners are in a
prime position to prosper.  Smaller companies have the ability to
control costs better.  Small businesses (especially online
businesses) excel at making changes more quickly in response to
events.  Smaller companies are also able to implement new
strategies and policies at the drop of a hat making them
"ultra-responsive" to economic changes.
 
All of these abilities put small businesses in place to
outmaneuver their competition - *if* they pay attention and play
their cards right.
 
Getting More Sales
 
The number one concern (according to Dunn and Bradstreet) at the
moment is increasing business sales.  One of the most effective
ways to do this is to solicit repeat sales from your existing
database.
 
It costs considerably less to sell to an existing list of clients
than it does to drum up new business.  It also takes less time to
generate profits from existing clients than it does from new
customers.  Don't forget to include a review of your current
database before moving onto new avenues for sales.
 
Repackaging of products/services is an exceptional way to create
new interest.  Adding a new target segment is an excellent way to
increase revenues.  And don't forget about asking your current
customers what they need.  A short and simple survey, focused on
clients' needs, can provide a virtually endless supply of ideas
for new products or services.
 
Overall, 2003 is expected to launch a new dawn in economic
recovery.  As a small business owner, you're in a prime position
to take advantage of each and every opportunity that comes your
way.  Stay on your toes, pay attention, and get ready for bigger
and better things to come!

Find

If you ever find yourself on a web page with what seems to have
"endless text", and can't find what you are looking for, there is
an easier way.
 
The next time this happens to you, hit the "Edit" menu key, and
then Find". You'll get a "Find" box that lets you type in a
specific word(s). After you type in your search term, hit the
Find Next button and Explorer will look for that on the page.
 
This is especially handy when you are at a site as a result of a
keyword entered in a search engine.  If you can't find what
you're looking for, simple enter the keyword and - bingo - you
found it.
