A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst.... a spark that creates extraordinary results.

When you know where to find the investors (not venture capital people who want 60-70% of your business) and you know the language of capital, you can raise all the capital you need. http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/15 http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/15 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 02:55:06 PST Edgar Cayce frequently emphasized the importance of maintaining a proper acid-alkaline balance by eating the higher ratios of alkaline forming foods. His major dietary recommendations include the avoidance of red meat (especially pork), alcohol (except red wine), white bread, and fried foods, a preference for fruits and above-ground, leafy vegetables over starches, and a high ratio of alkaline foods over acidic. http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/21 http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/21 Sun, 06 Mar 2011 06:54:37 PST You’re an Entrepreneur? Do you have a level of passion and commitment that others don’t? Are you apt to break the rules that are blocking you from getting things done? You want to build something great, have a fulfilling career, and not be required to sacrifice yourself on the alter of success? http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/48 http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/48 Mon, 08 Nov 2010 04:21:40 PST The traditional service economy is changing into an experience economy around the world. People don't want to just receive good service, they are looking to experience it. It's hard at first to understand the difference between receiving and experiencing good service, but if you think in terms of some engaging service you currently enjoy and the difference between that and buying self-service gas for your car, you will have your first clue. http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/90 http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/90 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 02:57:10 PST The Page County, Virginia landfill scandal is a powerful example of how government touches our lives – with bribes, nepotism, Mafioso connections, abuse of the poor and the uninformed citizen, and just plain jackbooted ugliness. This demonstrates how ordinary citizens and taxpayers are abused by a notion that governments – even local governments – are sovereign, all-powerful and can join with criminals to rape the public, without the slightest fear of punishment. http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/120 http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/120 Tue, 01 Jul 2008 04:58:37 PST For non-techies, it's tough to know what not to do when trying to keep your computer Virus Free. I remember in 1998 when I installed an update from Symantec to prevent just one specific virus from infiltrating my computer and it actually installed the virus on my computer. I had some low level analysis software running and I watched as the virus protection actually put the virus on my computer. http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/130 http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/130 Thu, 12 Mar 2009 10:20:14 PST In the course of building your business, there are times where you may not actually be sure of what next steps to take or even what questions to ask. I help entrepreneurs with business development and small business funding support and coaching and these are the very questions I hear from clients during our first meeting. http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/145 http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/145 Sun, 04 Sep 2011 02:13:42 PST All too often, practitioners and service professionals who maintain a high degree of integrity with the work they do find it challenging to grow their business--- or to even think of the service they provide as a “business”. What general happens is they find themselves continually trading time for dollars with no room left to pursue other important activities such as marketing, follow-up, networking, operational duties, or developing other revenue streams of their business, etc. http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/146 http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/146 Tue, 15 Apr 2008 10:30:10 PST Here are some things you can do right from the beginning to build value in your business. These are important items if you want to attract funding, experts, customers and large contracts. http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/147 http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/147 Wed, 01 Oct 2008 12:28:52 PST I’ve heard it literally thousands of times from inventors and start-up entrepreneurs “I have the best idea on the planet --- why can’t I get anyone to invest in me?” Every entrepreneur has the opportunity in this country to seek funding to help launch their idea yet very few do it successfully. It has everything to do with the opportunities you can actually create for yourself. http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/148 http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/148 Wed, 01 Oct 2008 12:50:36 PST
