I agree with that, that's a bit of a scarcity vibe there. There ain't no end to good...

Personally, the biggest change I would test is adding more numbers-numbers tend to impress many people and I usually gravitate towards lines with numbers, as opposed to lines with just text. Of course this varies, but I think for offers related to money numbers are very important. There's a big of a subtle point on hard sell vs. soft sell that can potentially mess you up here. Doubleyourdating.com is very hard sell oriented-while they...

Quote: Originally Posted by Curtis2011 Oh yes. It is so unfortunate that people buy liabilities, often thinking that they are assets. A good way to identify an asset and a liability immediately is to just look at something in your life, whether it be a business or a habit, and answer these two questions: 1) How much has this cost me? 2) How much has this given me? If it has cost you more than it has given you, it is usually a liability. Uh...

Hey Andy, well you were talking about advice for business, if you're taking on a business, then I think you have the time, resources and responsibility to find your passions. Having a business that you don't love, wont pay the bills either

Lauxa, I was recently in a very similar position. I won't go into the details - but I got my raise pretty easily because the company is completely dependent upon my software. If I go on strike, the company goes under. Your situation might be different, however. What skill set do you have? What software have you written for the company thus far? How much are you currently getting paid?

Hi, thanks for sharing. So it's sort of a clean slate for you, huh? First, just a couple lifestyle suggestions. Stay as healthy as possible, because the healthier your body, the healthier your mind, and the more resistant and resilient you will be to symptoms--and the better you will function at any task or pursuit. I would suggest fish oil supplements, antioxidants, and daily exercise if you are not already doing these. Looks like there...

Ellie, I really loved your first post it was full of enthusiasm, excitement and likeability, however your second post was as bad as the first was good. I am a senior executive in a large organisation, no big deal I know but my experience has taught me things. Probably the most important thing I have learned is that no one likes a smartass. Dale Carnegie, a wiser man than I will ever be once said. "Never disagree with people they do...
