Will You Add? - What a Billionaire Balloonist Taught Me About Internet Marketing
You are selling your small business (business value under $1 million for this article). You would like the buyer of your business to come in with an all-cash offer, or be able to qualify for an SBA guaranteed loan. However, in many cases the owner of the business ends up taking back the financing because the buyer is not able to make an all-cash offer or does not qualify for an SBA guaranteed loan. So you create a “business note” and you now become the “bank”. At first that may seem okay, but after a cou

relationships creates stability for your business because you are
able to give more personalized service. Whether you realize it or
not, your company's location affects your relationships with others.
Here's how renting an executive office suite can
I read his autobiography recently and discovered something that perfectly sums up what it takes to achieve success on the Internet.
To set the scene - Branson had called a meeting a few hours before he and his co-pilot were due to embark on an attempt to fly from Japan to America across the Pacific non-stop in a hot air balloon. The attempt would be fraught with countless difficulties, challenges and life-threatening risks. One last pre-take off meeting was held to talk through all eventualities of the flight and to discuss what Branson and his co-pilot needed to do to survive in each case.
After an intense 3-hours' briefing, covering everything that could go wrong, on this, one of the most complex and risky aviation record attempts in history, Richard Branson came away having written just eight words into his notepad;
"Keep the fire burning - that's all that matters."
How incredible is that? He's faced with almost certain death and has just been briefed on the technical details of which levers to pull when, which buttons to press to escape crashing and which actions to take to prevent the capsule from decompressing and yet all he writes down is "Keep the fire burning".

Postcards generally have limited space available for both the copy and the lay-out. It may seem very easy to design a postcard because of the small space that you need to fill up. But this is not always the case.Because the size of the postcard restricts you to put all the graphics and details that you want to include, it may be difficult (for some) to find the appropriate image and the correct words to maximize the small space available for you.Postcards typically have to be very concise, clear and di

A relationship expert once said that during an argument, there’s usually three sides to every story: his side, her side, and of course, the truth.This is something we must definitely keep in mind as teachers. As educators (especially professors), we have been accused of having the biggest egos on this side of Mount Rushmore. One of the quickest ways to burn out in education is to refuse to embrace change. Whether we want to admit it or not, life moves and changes constantly.Students are constantly expo difficulties, challenges and life-threatening risks.

So what has this got to do with Internet marketing? Let me explain..
** Do You Have The Energy To Keep The Fire Burning?
Being honest now - how many times have you stared at your website and thought;
"What ONE thing can I do to get more sales?"
You've probably thought this a few times right? Well, you're not alone. Unfortunately though, too many people make the mistake of thinking that;
- The one thing is getting a high search engine rankings
- The one thing is getting more subscribers
- The one thing is getting more traffic
- The one thing is getting accepted by Yahoo!
- The one thing is getting an article published
- Etc.
But the point is that none of these are the right ‘one thing'! The ONLY right 'one thing' is to do what Branson knew - keep the fire burning. Keep going and never give up.
We all know how easy it is to do those tedious or those time-consuming tasks when the sales are flooding in, right? But what about when nothing is happening on your website? What about when the sales dry up and your phone stops ringing, what then? What motivates you then?
Well then - you need to keep the fire burning.
Keep on doing what it is you need to do - as ultimately, this is what will make your website a success and separate it from many around you that become failur
