Happy Holidays!!! Ready for 2012

As I'm getting ready to visit family and friends for the holidays, I wanted to put together a special greeting for the rest of my community and then I received something from another friend that just seemed to say so much, I had to share it -

Happy Holidays - "MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

To those who fight for their future, to those who face difficulties but still believe in their ideas, ...to those that are in love with life and trust themselves, to those who like sleeping but they get up smiling, to those who are committed towards their family and society, to those who still say “hello” with a kiss, to those who believe in shaking hands, to those who work hard, but have more fun, to those who drive fast but do not play the car horn at the traffic light, to those who switch off the telly to leave room for chatting, to those who stop for a while and reflect, to those who are happy twice even if they did justhalf of the accomplishment, to those who evaluate a meeting, who those who can listen and understand, to those who wake up early in the morning to assist a friend, to those who are passing through difficulties but do not give up, to those who are enthusiastic as children but they think like an adult, to those who believe, to those who recognize the value of friendship, to those who trust, to those who do not wait for xmas coming to be a better person, to those who give advices, to those who boast the courage to present themselves and their ideas, to those who think about the future in a harsh period, to those who are passionate about their company and love their job, to those who are able to donate, and donated a lot, to those who create job opportunities, to those who appreciate our wishes: MERRY CHRISTMAS! 2011 is going to end, 2012 is waiting for us, as a challenging year, certainly full of sacrifices but within reach of opportunities: believe, encourage who is in trouble, help the others in finding solutions, spread smiles, let’s doing it together. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!" ~ quote from Vincenzo Caci

 

 

 

Wishing you the best of times during this holiday season with your family and friends!!!

How do you develop local neighborhood purchasing networks?

So the question is "How do you develop local neighborhood purchasing networks?"  And what does that mean?

Ideas lead to collaboration which leads to opportunities to support businesses and help them earn revenue to stay in business.

In my opinion the local neighborhood and community needs to be further developed.  Its amazing to know that often times people don't know what's actually available to them in their own communities and neighborhoods or how spending money there can make a difference and for some individuals it can help them from losing their house or home or even help potentially put food on the table.  Services are often available that you might be surprised you could find in a local neighborhood. 

I just had that experience with Pest Control....all this time I had been looking through my networks, two major ones and someone down the street actually offered services, but I didn't know about them.  It was a missed opportunity that opened my eyes and gave me so many ideas on ways to resolve this.  It takes a little effort but if the results help others, then it is worth the investment in time.

If you are interested in developing local neighborhood purchasing networks with your favorite small and medium size businesses, e-mail me at chronicbehavior@gmail.com to find out more.  Noted below is a quick synopsis of program offering being developed.

**************************************************************************************************

I am implementing an approach that is specifically targeted to neighborhoods and communities and the businesses in them.  The highlights of the program are as follows:

• Create a Q-Club network / Consumers / Businesses
  
  • Create a network of the local neighborhood and community
  • Targeting the consumers in the neighborhood and the businesses in the same area
  • Create a preferred purchasing list of the businesses in the area
• Ways this can be set-up
  • Business must be pre-qualified - details will be provided if interested.
  • Business must have something to offer that can be marketed and sold.
    
    • A coupon offering through a specific club based program where discounts from the business of 50% or greater are offered to the consumers.  %'s will be looked at based on the product and or services offered to confirm fit for program. 
    • No upfront costs to implement program to the business (this would include marketing and the coupon set up).  All the risk on Qnanza-AdzZoo.
    • Payments to the business would be made based on the sale of the coupons - business earns based on coupons purchased not necessarily redeemed.
    • Minimum total amounts on the coupons offered would have to be met.  # of coupons offered
      • Coupons only available to consumers on a first come first serve basis
    • The intent with this is to drive increased traffic to the business.  Steady flow of customers and new customers for the marketing and the coupon offering - based on the number of customers business wants to see every month....  continuous branding
    • More information can be provided to go into detail with the program.
• Build the network to drive the economy in the neighborhood and community.
  • In addition there are other revenue generating activities that can be pursued.

This is for the benefit of driving the consumer and purchase activity in the areas where the local neighborhood and community networks will be established for the businesses.  I would be happy to set up one-on-one meetings so we can discuss this and the overall programs in development and to share the vision of the community outreach as well.

10 Top Tips for Successful Networking

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE

In the world of business if you are not networking or marketing then you are not likely growing your business or obtaining new clients.  If you don't put yourself out there for others to find you or meet you, then it will be difficult to be successful.  If you are really interested in doing somethings that will help, then consider the following 10 items.

1. Be genuine - Networking is about being yourself and building relationships of trust and helping others.
   
2. Have Goals - When you participate in Networking Meetings set goals for the meeting.  For example - 1) Target to meet two new people, 2) Have one thing that you are looking for 3) Focus on one product / service you want to offer others.
   
3. Attend groups you are interested in - look for groups that fit your characteristics on how you socialize and how you like to meet people.  Every networking organization is different.  Check out the leadership style and the content shared in the group.
   
4. Volunteer - You can meet great people and be visible by giving back to others.
5. Ask Questions - Spend time asking who, what, when, where, and how questions that help to open the group up for discussion versus yes or no questions.  This will help for more information to be shared.
   
6. Be a powerful resource - You will be remembered if you provide valuable contact or reference information that helps others.  Provide credible suggestions and recommendations whenever possible where you can add value.  Stay current with the groups needs and how you can help them.  This keeps you visible.
   
7. Be unique -  Be able to state what makes you different and beneficial to others.  Keep it concise and clear for others to easily understand.
   
8. Articulate your story - In one sentence be able to state your key business offering.  In one sentence be able to state what are looking for most or what you need the most.
   
9. Follow through - If you say you are going to do something do it.  If someone sends you an email, respond.  When you meet people and engage and there is an expectation of continued communication, follow-up.  If you don't follow up, you LOSE opportunities and clients everytime.
   
10. Directed contact - Reach out to those whom you believe you will be able to help by suggesting meetings to share ideas and find out what the other person needs in business.  Sometimes its just that effort that makes the difference.

If you are interested in learning more and would like to find out how you can improve your networking skills for local, national, or international markets, contact Eva Louis at chronicbehavior@gmail.com for more tips and ideas.

TIPS ON PUMPING GAS

Gas Tips from an Anonymous writer via Premier Debt Solutions in North Phoenix - Money Saving Tips at the Gas Pump!

TIPS ON PUMPING GAS

I don't know what you guys are paying for gasoline.... but here in California we are paying up to $3.75 to $4.10 per gallon. My line of work is in petroleum for about 31 years now, so here are some tricks to get more of your money's worth for every gallon:  Here at the Kinder Morgan Pipeline where I work in San Jose , CA we deliver about 4 million gallons in a 24-hour period thru the pipeline.. One day is diesel the next day is jet fuel, and gasoline, regular and premium grades. We have 34-storage tanks here with a total capacity of 16,800,000 gallons.

Only buy or fill up your car or truck in the early morning when the ground temperature is still cold. Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground. The colder the ground the more dense the gasoline, when it gets warmer gasoline expands, so buying in the afternoon or in the evening....your gallon is not exactly a gallon. In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and the temperature of the gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, ethanol and other petroleum products plays an important role.A 1-degree rise in temperature is a big deal for this business. But the service stations do not have temperature compensation at the pumps.

When you're filling up do not squeeze the trigger of the nozzle to a fast mode If you look you will see that the trigger has three (3) stages: low, middle, and high. You should be pumping on low mode, thereby minimizing the vapors that are created while you are pumping. All hoses at the pump have a vapor return. If you are pumping on the fast rate, some of the liquid that goes to your tank becomes vapor. Those vapors are being sucked up and back into the underground storage tank so you're getting less worth for your money.

One of the most important tips is to fill up when your gas tank is HALF FULL. The reason for this is the more gas you have in your tank the less air occupying its empty space. Gasoline evaporates faster than you can imagine. Gasoline storage tanks have an internal floating roof. This roof serves as zero clearance between the gas and the atmosphere, so it minimizes the evaporation. Unlike service stations, here where I work, every truck that we load is temperature compensated so that every gallon is actually the exact amount.

Another reminder, if there is a gasoline truck pumping into the storage tanks when you stop to buy gas, DO NOT fill up;

most likely the gasoline is being stirred up as the gas is being delivered, and you might pick up some of the dirt that normally settles on the bottom.

To have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of gas buyers. It's really simple to do.

On the journey....what makes a difference?

Doing what one does best....is something that not everyone chooses to do.  Sometimes it's easier to be at status quo and stay in what's comfortable.  I have chosen a different path and rather than accept what just happens to come to me, I am working to the ninth degree of following a path of creation and growth all the way.  In business it is important to always be ready to recreate yourself and the environment you are in....

Stability is important but you can have an approach of stable change.  Being fluid and ready to react at all times is important as well.  What I have learned over the last nine months of the latest journey I've been on is that sharing with others creates new paths and energy that feeds not only the soul but the dream.  Do you have dreams of where you want to be?  Do you have goals?  Have you set your targets yet for doing something more and different?  It is very easy to settle in to the day to day routine.  We are all challenged to keep up and keep moving, but is it for your benefit or the benefit of others?  These are all necessary areas one must consider in what they do.

I want to provide some key points that will help you in your day to day journey of striving for success and growth if you have your own business or are just starting out or have something you would like to grow.  These key points resonate with me everyday and I work hard to keep my circle of activity moving, interactive, evolving, and connecting everyday.

Key Points:

1. Have a schedule.
2. Remember who you are and where you came from.
3. Know where you are going and what you want to accomplish.
4. Break it down into objectives and small goals to accomplish.
5. Reach out and follow up.
6. Don't wait for others to contact you, contact them.
7. Surround yourself with positive energy or walk away from negative energy.
8. Know your reality.
9. Live for today.
10. Be thankful.

Have a Schedule.

A schedule is important, you can choose to be productive or non-productive, but manage your time, even your playtime.  It is important if you want to be ready for anything to know what you have going on and what your responsibilities are and who you have made commitments to.  A schedule helps to keep you on task and ready to go.  Is it possible to accomplish everything all at once?  No, it is not, but with a schedule you can break it down into manageable time slots and then you can get things done.  I have to work at this everyday but it helps to have a schedule so you can see in front of you what your next steps are and targets.  I try to work with a two week rolling schedule.  It is not overwhelming and most people can work within those constraints.  I came from an environment in my past where two weeks was like a lifetime and responsiveness was 24 x 7.  It's virtually impossible to keep up 24 x 7 much less have the energy to keep up.  You lose yourself and forget what you were trying to accomplish.  Scheduling time for rest or knowing your physical and mental limitations is good and through scheduling you can easily manage that.  Can things get out of hand if emergencies arise, absolutely, but with a schedule, you can easily mitigate because you can more easily communicate with those impacted which should make it easier for you to recover even if chaos does arise.

Remember who you are and where you came from.

This is important, because no one else will know this and can ever truly understand what you have gone through or where you have been in the past.  If you have worked your way up or had everything, it doesn't matter.  Your past is what made you who you are today, no matter if it was good or bad.  Its important to know where you had challenges and to make sure you focus on the betterment of yourself as you go forward.  Remembering where you came from should help with this.  Grant it, sometimes memories are painful and sometimes it hurts, but you are where you are today....for a reason and if you know where you want to go then all the more reason to not forget where you came from.  About who you are, this is really about being true to yourself and not letting someone or organizations or family and friends convince you that you need to change to fit others expectations.  First and foremost, you should focus on your expectations for yourself and make certain they are to your benefit.  Why?  As an individual whether you have a support system or not, only you can really take care of yourself effectively by making up your mind to do so.  I also came from another environment that I focused only on other's expectations and boy did it hurt when I realized I hadn't done anything to take care of myself because I focused so much on others that I hurt myself mentally and physically.  Sometimes it takes that kind of distress and suffering to figure it out.  I did however and those changes have now been implemented in every part of my life and oh what a difference that makes.  I know that not everyone has these issues or challenges, but many of us work so hard to please others and look for their acceptance when at the end of the day, you just have to be able to live with yourself. 

Know where you are going and what you want to accomplish and break it down into objectives and small goals to accomplish.

Goal, goals, and more goals....I have lived by goals since I was a freshman in high school.  I have had a five year rolling plan since then.  This is an extreme case not everyone should follow or abide by.  The key however is to have goals and targets that you set for yourself.  Also to write them down and make them known so you know what you have committed to.  Why is this essential?  Without goals you have no direction to follow towards or a challenge to reach to.  I have always made my goals stretch goals because if they are easy to accomplish, then you have not really learned anything new or made a real change.  I don't like being superficial or fake and sometimes just to say you have done something when there was no meaning behind it has no real purpose.  That is how I feel about goals that don't stretch you.  Not everyone is mature or strong enough to do this.  I recommend if you have not really ever set goals, to start small, but definitely to start.  If you are in business, not only do you need to make sure you have goals, but a mission, strategy, and vision are as important.  If you don't have these, you are missing the boat entirely, I'm sorry to say.  I know not everyone may agree with this, but without a plan, you can't ask for help and you can't estimate your future nor what you can actually do....most failures come because of lack of planning.  If you have a plan, you can mitigate issues, you can rally for support, you can share the story, you can provide talking points, you can do so many more things with a plan....  Plans are sometimes elaborate and sometimes not.  I always recommend starting small and expanding if you haven't done this before and making the pieces what I would say "bite-size and chewable" to ensure you can get through them.  Once you practice through that then you can make more comprehensive plans.

Reach out and follow up.

In business, I have learned, the first one to document anything usually wins....this is the competitive side of me....but it rings true in other forms as well.  For instance, if someone reaches out to you, always..always try try to respond.  It is a matter of respect and business manners that this is essential.  Sometimes there will be those individuals that you don't want to talk with, share with, or even really interact with, but it is proper to at least respond if a response is asked for.  When you meet people, if you want to stay engaged with them, follow up.  It is really about what you want those individuals to remember about you.  If you take the time to follow up, via email, phone, text, Facebook, or other form of social media or communication doesn't really matter, just follow up.  It is a pet peeve of mine when people ask for follow up and then they don't respond.   Or they say they are available and then aren't available or make no effort to really be available.  I've seen it happen time and time again.  That is how opportunities are lost. 

For business however, structure in follow up is required.  Even though society has moved so far over to the instant gratification point that some believe that you should respond immediately, that is not always a true statement.  In business the key is to setting expectations as to when you will respond based on normal contacts.  Once you have established a relationship, immediate responses if part of the services arrangement can be expected.  If you are hungry for business, immediate responsiveness may very well get you that deal over someone else.  As a business owner, or manager or just in business, you must understand your audience and their expectations and set up your business structure to support that.  I was in a business that nearly demanded the 24 x 7 response but the nature of the business was not 24 x 7.  It was the lack of planning on the businesses management part that caused the conflict.  Having a choice now not to be in a 24 x 7 environment, I have found it is much easier to set expectations.  Not everyone has that type of work or business, so the point here is to understand your customers requirements and to adjust your communications and form of follow-up accordingly.  It will make your working environment and your customers or potential customers much easier to deal with as it relates to this.

Don't wait for others to contact you, contact them.

Do you network for your business, interests or yourself?  If you do, this should be an easy one to follow.  If you want to stay connected send a connection notice.  Be certain to denote the event or where you met and if you intend to stay in touch or want to set up a meeting.  This is critical first off to show you have a legitimate business and that you are sharing yourself and contact details with them again.  A business card exchange just gets you that first opportunity to contact them.  After that, the business card is only for cursory reference.  The email, phone number, Facebook connect, or other social media connection now becomes your means of staying in touch. Why should you do this, because you show genuine interest in that connection and that you don't take it for granted that they will contact you.  Sometimes others need the nudge we give them to actually open up and communicate.  Be bold and strong in your efforts to connect if that is what you want to achieve.  If you network, then you are looking for connections.  If you don't network then this might not apply, but again, I believe that most people are looking for connections whether for specific purposes or not, connecting and staying connected is what drives the building of the relationships.  Business most often does not happen because you make the connection, it often and more likely happens because you built a relationship from that connection.  Don't be in the backseat or the passenger seat, be the driver and you can make things happen that way.

Surround yourself with positive energy or walk away from negative energy.

Truly, I should list this first, as this positive and negative energy thing can affect everything you do....but all the other points listed are as important and really all apply together.  So why is this essential, only due to the general laws of electricity and energy which came from Albert Einstein which say so.  How do you create energy?.....from more energy.   So it would lead one to believe, that if you have positive energy and you surround yourself with others who have positive energy that it should grow.  True Statement!!!!!  Positivity breeds more positivity....exponentially.  I'm sorry I can't help but use these words all the time.  Synergy is one of my buzz words and favorite words as it happens all the time.  Connections are made and amazing things happen and its all due to the energy and excitement of others and myself or yourself no matter the situation. 

In my experience, you have to run actually (not walk) from the negative energy.  It can and will suck the life out of you and start to draw on others around you if you let it.  I have a very good sense for people so I have been able to easily identify these occurrences before they get out of hand.  Not everyone can pick up on that sense however.  Some tips on what to watch out for though are as follows:  when negative people that say, I can't or they only complain or they speak of failure or others failures or they want to blame you for their problems or they only call you when they have something negative to say or they latch on to you and try to bring you down by sabotaging your activities, communications or other things or they are insecure or they gossip a lot about others negatively or you just feel very down after you have talked or been around them with their negative presence (I know not grammatically correct, but an important list to share).  I can feel negative aurora around me so I am extremely sensitive to this....again not everyone can feel this but you can at least be aware of and take notice to.

Know your reality.

Simply put, if you base your reality on facts....then you know what is real.... If you base it on hearsay or others opinions or perspectives or what other people generally think or say, then that is usually not the real story or case.  Every person has things in their life that are facts...for example: 1) you could live with pain, 2) you could be in debt, 3) you could have a very loving family, 4) you could make lots of money, 5) you could have a nice car or nice house, 6) you could have lots of friends, 7) you could hate your job, 8) you might have a tough personal relationship, 9) you might have an illness, or 10) you may have desires and goals.....these are just a few to name.  Everyone's answer to these will be different, but you can answer them factually based on your life.  That is what you base your reality on.  Now is reality always pleasant and happy and joyous?  No....but you can live for today and make the most of it.

Live for today.

Living for today is just that.  Don't worry about the past it cannot be changed, but today you can make a difference, make a change, take a chance, enjoy some things, don't do anything, relax, go somewhere, listen to someone, or anything you choose to do.  The key is making the choice to do something or nothing, either is a choice....but doing something today is the key.  In the past, I had been told, let's wait until later to do things....this was a common theme I had heard and based on the situation had chosen to live by until something happened.  I had to have major surgery that was life changing.  Then a year later I had to have another surgery that was also life changing.  Two years in a row, I didn't know what my life was going to be like and it could have been drastically different or possibly ended.  At that point I made a conscious choice to no longer wait to do things and to live life everyday and for today.  Once I made the choice it was an amazing and enlightening transformation over time.  I wholeheartedly believe the reason those events happened to me was to wake me up to my reality but then to have me choose to live instead of accepting status quo and not moving in my life.  Not everyone will have a life changing event or issues or problems, regardless I think that this is still a wise choice to live for today because you don't really know if you will have tomorrow or when your time is up and when your life may be taken unless you have a situation medically that may already have a pre-determined timeline.  In that situation, it is even more important to choose to live for today because that is what you have left and that is for everyone.  No one can escape the inevitable, but it doesn't have to be a negative perspective because living for today is really a positive aspect and allows you to enjoy versus worrying about the past or the future.

Be thankful.

Finally, being thankful is the action I take everyday.  We are blessed everyday with life and the opportunity to do things.  In being thankful, you take that time to remember what you have experienced and what others have done for you to help you get to where you are.  If you think that you have done everything by yourself, you may have done many things, but in reality, there have always been others around you that have impacted or contributed or provided a means for you to do what you do everyday in life.  In my world I have many people, systems, friends, family and a God that have all contributed to where I am today.  I have an order to how I live my life and I am absolutely thankful for what I am brought everyday.  Is it easy?  No, I have struggles and challenges, but it is through these things I am also thankful because I know what I have to offer others and what I can do.  I work to be thankful so I don't get to prideful or arrogant with what I have or can do.  I am fortunate to do all the things I do which is many and they are very diverse things.  Everyone has something that they can be thankful for.  This gratitude and way of seeing things helps me to keep grounded everyday as I know there are others that are less fortunate than myself and that suffer publically or silently all over the world.  The impact I want to make is universal and to many people so I am grateful and thankful for all the opportunities I have been given.

In your life, think about the smallest good things you experience everyday, taking a breath, waking up, seeing the sun, feeling the soft touch of the sheets you sleep on or the pillow you lay your head on, the food you eat or the drinks you swallow, the steps you take or that comfortable chair, or the work you have or the interview you are getting, and many other things....  Find something everyday you can be thankful for and see the change it can make in your life as you realize what you have been granted....

These statements and writing may not apply to everyone, but I believe everyone will have something that they can relate to.  If you are really wanting to make a difference and see how things can change in your business or your life...take a minute to make your own statement that apply to the key points listed and share them.  This is the starting of a forum that will be added to regularly that will provide insight and direction and guidance for those who are interested in participating in their journey called life.  Have a wonderful day!!!

Data Mining in the Neighborhood

Data Mining - Definition

Sifting through very large amounts of data for useful information. Data mining uses artificial intelligence techniques, neural networks, and advanced statistical tools (such as cluster analysis) to reveal trends, patterns, and relationships, which might otherwise have remained undetected. In contrast to an expert system (which draws inferences from the given data on the basis of a given set of rules) data mining attempts to discover hidden rules underlying the data. Also called data surfing.

Have you ever needed verifiable current data or statistics to help support a business decision or market position you were trying to obtain?  Do you know where the media outlets, news feeds, or your competitors get their data or information today?  Do you wonder if you are behind the times or ahead of them and if you can keep up?  If any of these thoughts have crossed your mind, you might want to consider what your alternatives and options are to find out how to change your position to a proactive, in front of the line, driving the car position.  At least that's where I would want to be if I was is business and wanted to ensure continued growing success.  Key words here are continued growing success.   How can you do that you ask?  Good question, one that actually has some value to it.  A couple of immediate options exist.  One is trying to find information or position your company in such a way that you have mastered all the information there is to know about your business / industry / market and making yourself so attractive that there isn't anyone that could resist doing business with you.  The other is working with experts that can help you in this area.  I will briefly discuss two options available NOW.  Both options, you can check out yourself and see what the possibilities are, but the options are of the highest and greatest value to you, only if you choose to participate.  And that's really what it is about anyway.  People are in business to do business and to promote business.  If you are just in business to say you have a business but really not to do anything with it, which means not growing, not selling, not making any money, then get out now, because if you don't you will be forced out anyway.  If you really want to address those key words though mentioned earlier then do something about it.

If you are in business and you are needing to increase your sales, increase the traffic into your company, get found on the internet, world wide web, or just in your local or regional neighborhood, you better be investing in some advertising NOW!!!!!!  Sure, you think you don't have money now to market, promote, advertise, tell people, show people, or put your business out there.  Just imagine, however, if you don't have money now, when your business is closed you surely won't have any money then either or a hope of getting any.  Studies have shown (like one that Google did) that if you invest even $1 (I said one dollar) into promoting your business that your return would be at least $8 (eight dollars).  Can you believe that?  As a matter of fact it has been proven in sales, advertising and other forms of marketing over and over again.  It's like the saying goes, you have to spend money to make money.  In today's society, you have to advertise to be found, because if you can't be found, no one knows you are there.  You can be sure if your competitor is advertising (and they are) they will be found every time.  Even if it's not the first page of Google, it might be the first page somewhere else.  So what is being discussed here is internet advertising with a strong web presence.  AdzZoo is one of those companies that is here at the right time.  They have an incredible way of working with small to medium size businesses and taking nothing and actually making it something and finding it everywhere when it could not be found originally.  What does that mean?  Well, they take a website for a business and put the power of experts behind it to create a web presence that solidifies a businesses existence in their market place and then provides the seeking customers a way to reach that same business and then works with the internet and its way of marketing to help promote that business.  And you know what the business has to do for that, viritually nothing.  They just have to deliver on their business.  For as little as $25 dollars a day, AdzZoo can help to deliver a presence that will ensure your business gets found and your opportunity to grow exists which means more sales, more revenue, more customers!!!!  What can you get for $25 a day?  You can't hire a person, you can't print an advertisement, you can't have a meeting with multiple people, you can't fill your car with gas, you can't get a radio show, you can't do a lot of things....but with that AdzZoo can work miracles.  If you want to find out more, visit www.adzzoo.biz/evalouis to find out more or go to http://www.adzzoo.com/ to see what businesses are being found right now.......

Another option is working with another expert who can help you actually with that trending, market research, or getting access to the data that can change the world and having a support team that can help your business use the data to have better business intelligence, to help your business understand what it need to do to be successful, find those leads, convert those customers and so much more.  Dexter Nelson of Live Minder Trend Analysis http://www.mindyourowndata.com/ has an incredible offering that could be viewed as possibly even better than the other offer.  For as little as $500 annually for a one year subscription, you can have access to a team that will help you with planning, implementation, marketing and optimization special for your business and your business needs.  What does that mean, being first, being in front of, being proactive, and leading the way with what you want to do with your business.  Understanding the triggers and the things that make your business or company go tick.  If you have a good product, then this investment can only make your business stronger and better and improve how you get your information to have the best business intelligence available to help your business grow.  The results are going to be obvious and you won't be able to refute the results.  I've seen the access to information they have and what they can do for a company even if you don't take all their advice.  But for $500 dollars how can you go wrong.  It costs more for insurance or even a single print advertising job that can't really support your business operations.  For that $500 dollars the value receivied really outweighs the options received.  You don't have to believe me, you can ask Dexter yourself....  He not only created the service but he is the master mind behind the engine that drives it.  His only goal is really to help others succeed.  You can't really find too many out there with that being their sole and primary focus.
