Are you ready to make 2006 the best year ever?
-blogsize.jpg)
Today is the last official work day of the year for most of us with service-related businesses, and a good time to reflect back on the successes and “unfinished” successes we had in 2005. It’s a great time to review the past 12 months and see what we can do, add, change, or implement in our businesses to make 2006 an even more successful and prosperous year than ever.
Here are just a few things you might want to consider when reviewing how you did in 2005:

Success Starts With Attitude
I’m a firm believer that what a person thinks about and focuses on the most, will be what they manifest in their lives, so I really loved James Malinchak’s latest Success Tip titled “Success Starts With Attitude.” Negativity breeds negative results, and thinking positively about a situation opens the doors to make positive changes. I’m not really big on making resolutions at the beginning of a new year; but I do set goals, and I reflect back on the previous year to see where I can improve and grow in my personal life and with my business. 2006 is a brand new year … a year full of hopes and dreams, opportunities and possibilities. One of my goals for this year is to start each day being thankful for all that I have, and looking “positively” forward to a fabulous year of success and growth!

Why does attitude play such an important role in our success?
In my constant and never-ending search to understand what
elevates human potential, one answer consistently prevails:
Attitude = Beliefs = Actions = Results
Success begins with our internal state of mind.
What we focus on through the attitudes we choose to maintain is who
we become and what we achieve, both positively and negatively.
“Be careful what you think about
because you will surely get it!”

Honesty is the only policy when presenting to a group. However, blatantly admitting, “I don’t know”, in response to a direct question from an audience member can be disastrous. The solution is to be honest and maintain credibility at the same time. No one can know the answer to every question. It’s how the inevitable situation is handled that separates great presenters from amateurs. Study the following seven strategies and keep them in your back pocket so that you can field even the toughest questions with confidence.

Is Your Web Site a Cash Cow or a Money Drain?
Is Your Web Site a Cash Cow or a Money Drain?
By Biana Babinsky
Turn Your Web Site Into a Cash Cow
If you consider your web site a money pit, you are not alone. Quite a few business owners – coaches, consultants, professional organizers, virtual assistants – have told me that they have web sites because “everyone else has a web site”, but they haven’t gotten any business from their web site. None. Zero. Nada. Zip. Many of them have paid thousands of dollars to web designers to create the web sites for them, and than the web sites just sit there, gathering the proverbial Internet dust, and getting enormous traffic consisting of three to five unique visitors a month.
Your web site should not be languishing in one of the rarely visited corners of the Net. Instead, it should be working 24 hours, 7 days a week, 365 days a year getting leads and clients for your business. It should serve as marketing brochure and as your best salesperson (who incidentally never sleeps, and doesn’t require either salary or commissions).
So how do you turn your dust collector into a lean, mean sales machine? First, you need to lay down the infrastructure for your online business. Here are three guidelines your web site should adhere to before its initial debut:
