Tip of the Day

See the BCC?

After running a couple tips about the BCC feature in e-mail, I've gotten a few e-mails from people about being able to see the BCC e-mail addresses after the e-mail has already been sent. Several of you have asked, "Is that possible"? Well, it depends on a couple things.

If you're trying to see the BCC addresses from an e-mail you received from someone else, it's not possible. The BCC feature is used to keep e-mail addresses disclosed from other recipients. The main reason it's even used is so others can't see everyone else's address, including your own. It's just a thoughtful thing to do when you're sending e-mail, because it prevents all of those e-mail addresses from floating around in cyberspace.

On the other hand, if you want to see the BCC addresses of an e-mail you personally sent out (maybe you forgot who all you sent an e-mail to or something), it depends on the e-mail program you use. Some e-mail clients keep a copy of the BCC addresses in your Sent Items folder, but others don't reveal them at all.

It is really rude to disclose all the addresses you send to, and a real sign of a computer newbie. Anyone who sends me a joke or something that is going out to a lot of people that does not use the BCC feature, immediately gets removed from my address book. I surely don't want them to send something I sent them to someone else and expose my email address to the world. The spamsters get their addresses from basically two places. Robots that search the Internet for email addresses and ones that intercept mail and copy the addresses.

Something to Think About by Jan Tincher

 Why don't people like me?
 

There is no opinion so important to your own well-being as the opinion you have of yourself. If you don't like and respect yourself, no one else will either.

However, if you haven't learned to like yourself, all is not lost. Spend fifteen minutes a day filling your heart with love. After 21 days, you will feel a shift in your being as the love becomes permanent. Once you love yourself, other people's love and respect soon follow.

Here is an article that will help: *The Mask You Wear*

Food for Thought

Make Your Ad Clear and Passionate

I'll tell you something writers don't like to admit. I don't do much revision. I write it once, then go through and fix the problems.

But there is one key to effective advertising that absolutely demands you give your ad copy a second draft.

After you have written your ad or sales letter, set it aside. Come back to it later in the day, or even better, several days later.

When you come back, look for places in your copy where the average customer might not understand what you are talking about.

For example, in the sentence I just wrote, some people might not be familiar with the word "copy." Instead, I might say "look for places in your ad."

Give your copy the grandmother test. If your grandmother can figure out what you're talking about, chances are most people can.

Finally, put some passion in your ad. Plain facts rarely sell anything. Be bold. Be shocking. Put some romance and flesh and blood in your copy.

A mother takes her son to a psychiatrist and says, "Doctor, I'd like you to evaluate my 13 year-old son."

"He's suffering from a transient psychosis with an intermittent rage disorder, punctuated by episodic radical mood swings, but his prognosis is good for full recovery."

"How can you say all that without even meeting him?"

"Didn't you say he was 13?"

A Sunday School teacher was telling the story of the Good Samaritan to her class of 4 & 5 year-olds. She was making it as vivid as possible to keep the children interested in her tale.

At one point, she asked the class, "If you saw a person lying on the roadside all wounded and bleeding, what would you do?"

A thoughtful little girl broke the hushed silence, "I think I'd throw up."

The Dollar Stretcher
by Gary Foreman

Where Are You Vulnerable?

When you work with people and their finances you begin to see some common threads. Especially if you have the perspective of time on your side. One thing I've noticed is that very few people, even people who are pretty sharp, have taken the time to determine where they are most financially vulnerable. I don't know why that's true, but it is.

Seems funny to me. If you were the commander of a fort, you'd survey the situation and try to figure out where your defenses are the weakest. And, once you found that weakness you'd take steps to stregnthen it.

Same thing if you were the coach of a football team.You'd spend hours studying film to see where opposing offenses might attack you. I suspect that's true of most team sports. You check to see where you're most vulnerable to attack and adjust your strategy.

What's interesting about people is that we don't look at our finances the same way. Very few of us take the time to figure out where we're most vulnerable to a financial problem (crisis?).

There's much to be gained from asking the question. We'll learn where we should concentrate our efforts. That means that our time and money will be going to the place where they'll do the most good. I like that. It's also the place where we'll get the greatest "bang for our buck".

So how can you find our where you are most vulnerable? One way is to hire a financial planner to review your finances. They're trained to evaluate risk.

Another way is to do it yourself. By asking yourself three questions you can identify the major risks. Once you've discovered the risks you can begin to search out and evaluate potential solutions.

The first risk: what happens if I lose my income? Many of us think about what would happen if we lost our job. And, it's a good question. No matter how safe your job appears, it's always wise to have some idea of what would happen if you were suddenly unemployed.

Depending on your situation you might also want to ask what would happen if your pension quit sending the monthly check. Or maybe the investment checks suddenly stopped coming. Or your rental house is empty. Or you don't get your usual Christmas bonus. Or...(fill in your own lost income here)

The idea is to take a few moments and decide what you would do if the income stopped and how likely that is to happen. Those two questions will give you a pretty good idea as to how vulnerable you are to lost income.

The second risk: what happens if you lose your assets (stuff!). Could you handle your home burning? Or your IRA being wiped out? Any other large asset suddenly losing it's value? It does happen. Some assets are safer and more predicatable than others. But, you're wise to evaluate and know how much trouble you'd face if something that you depended on suddenly disappeared.

The final risk: are there surprise events that could cause you problems? Suppose you had a car accident and were laid up for months or years. What would happen to your finances if that suddenly were you in the hospital bed? The most common suprises are medical. But, that's not the only cause. It could be a sudden change in the economy, a particular industry or even events in a foreign country.

Admittedly it's hard to predict the unexpected. But the mere exercise is helpful. You'll be looking beyond the normal boundaries. And that's always good.

Some situations combine all three risks. I know of people who lost their job when the company went under. They also lost their pension. And, to cap it all off, most of their 401k was invested in (now worthless) stock of their former employer.

You may find that you have a number of vulnerabilities. If so, you'll need to prioritize them. On the other hand, you might be the person who can honestly say that you've covered all the risks. And that's great! But, it doesn't mean that you shouldn't repeat the exercise every so often.

The saddest stories I've heard are typically from people who thought that they had their finances in order but found out that there was a vulnerability somewhere that they weren't aware of. So you might want to take a page out of the coach's playbook and take a look at your defense to see where you're most susceptible to an attack. The grief you save could be your own!
