Sad Day for Our Family

Today my wife and I had to make a really tough decision. 13 and a half years ago, before we had kids, we became the proud owners of a beautiful Dalmatian which we named Sadie.

She was a great dog, always very healthy - and turned out to be wonderful with our children as our family grew.

Over the past several months she really began to fail. In the last couple of weeks it had gotten really bad. She appeared to be in extreme pain, and would simply fall over walking across the floor - and forget about her going up or down stairs alone. The average life span of Dals is 11-13 years, and she had exceeded that by 6 months.

We had been to the Vet several times in the last couple of months, and there was simply nothing that could be done for her at her age.

So this morning we had to say our final good byes to our family pet and she passed away peacefully with me at her side. It will be strange and quiet night for us all.

I know this has absolutely nothing to do with business, but I have found it hard to focus today - it is strange how a pet dog can become such a part of a family!

We will miss you Sadie!

Taking a break…

A personal note…

My Wife and I are packing our bags and heading off tomorrow morning for a short get-away in San Diego. My parents arrived this morning to handle the kids for the week, which our kids and Grandparents alike are totally excited about!

We are really looking forward to this trip. We don’t get this chance very often - and three kids keep you pretty busy. It will be nice to simply be together and relax.

On top of that I have been working very hard the month of January - and I have some really big projects planned for February (keep your eyes on your email for the announcements) - so I am looking forward to recharging my batteries and coming back home next week reinvigorated.

In any business sometimes you have to take a step back, relax, and return with a new energy. I do hope to use the break to really do some thinking. Many times we are so busy in our daily routines, that we don’t allow ourselves a chance to be quiet and simply think - which is something I love to do.

Thats all for today. I need to get some audio teleseminars and videos loaded onto my iPhone before we leave!

See ya on the other side….

Problem with Gmail - White Screen

Something has apparently changed over at Gmail and has created a big problem for many Gmail users. Last week I opened up Internet Explorer and hit the little red and white Gmail envelope on my Google toolbar expecting Gmail to pop up like it always does.

What happened?

It acted like it was loading but all that showed up was a “white screen” - no email, no nothing!

Then about 30 minutes later my Father gave me a call and was having the same problem. We did fix this Gmail problem, so I thought I would share how we did it.

I don’t know if this fix will work with Firefox, since I don’t use that browser, but it does work with IE.

Here is how we fixed this Gmail problem:

In Internet Explorer click on the “Tools” => “Internet Options”. This brings up a dialogue box - click on the “General” tab. The second option on that tab is “Browsing History” - click the “Delete” button.

After you click the “Delete” button, a new box pops up - click the “Delete Files..” button next to the “Temporary Internet Files” section.

This will delete the cache and all the temporary internet files your system keeps when you go surfing.

This is all it took to fix the problem of the “white screen” we were both having with Gmail. I know many of my readers use Gmail, so I thought I would pass this along if you are having the same problem.

Getting Lots Done Tonight…

Do you ever have one of those times when you are completely focused and running at your peak? For some reason I had one of those times this evening.

I guess maybe I could chock it up to the weather outside - freezing rain! For some reason it put me in the mood to get some work done.

What did I do?
- I did some marketing over at Myspace
- I wrote 3 articles and submitted them to Ezinearticles.com
- I added a new email message to my autoresponder

These simple steps have already started moving my business forward. It does not take hours per day to get your business going, but it does take effort and consistent effort over the long haul will be what sets you apart from the “get rich quick” guys online.

So what did you do today to move your business forward? Leave me a comment to let me know…

Video - My 90 Day MLM Marketing Plan

In this video I outline my 90 Day plan to explode my downline. I realized that I had been neglecting my own business as I helped those new members on my team get started. I will continue to help my team, but I also need to set some goals for myself and my personal business and stick to them. Hence the public video….

My Son is 10 Years Old Today

My oldest son turned 10 years old today, and it is really making me do some serious thinking about my life the last 10 years.

You see 10 years ago today he came into this world much to early. He was born 11 weeks early, topping the scales at 1 pound 10 ounces and was just 12″ long. My wife had been in the hospital for a few days before he was born.

You can imagine our shock, first time parents, and what we had imagined having a baby would be like was shattered that day.

Just 8 weeks later he was able to finally come home, weighing a whopping 4 pounds!

I really cannot put into words the blessing we have been given with him. We had many ups and downs during the 8 weeks he was in the hospital. In fact it is still hard for me to really talk about it without getting a lump in my throat.

But now to see him 10 years later. A normal healthy 10 year old boy, does well in school, and is turning out to be a serious little entrepreneur himself! He truly has been touched by the hand of God, and we thank the Lord for him everyday!

I know this is a personal post today. But I just had to share because building a business on the internet has done so much for my family. It has allowed my Wife to be a full time stay at home Mom to our three children. It gives us freedom to make decisions that we want to make for our lives!
