Tip of the Day World of Hurt

The top four things that will get you in trouble on your computer are:

1. Failing to install anti-virus, keep its signatures up to date, and apply it to all files. A friend of mine was having    problems with his computer, so I loaned him my anti-virus CD.    He found 12 viruses, but even though it ran a bit better, it wasn't up to par.  He couldn't download the latest virus  definitions because he hadn't purchased the program.  He immediately joined, downloaded the latest definitions and found another 14.  His system is now running properly.

2. Opening unsolicited e-mail attachments without verifying their source and checking their content first, or executing games or screen savers or other programs from untrusted sources.  How  many times do you have to hear this before you believe it. You can open text files or images, but I recommend you open nothing else.

3. Failing to install security patches-especially for Microsoft Office, Microsoft Internet Explorer, and Netscape. This should    be done on a regular basis - go to :    http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/default.htm and click on    "Product Updates".

4. Not having a Spyware removal package, or if you do, not running it at least once a week. Spyware or Adware can put    your computer in a deep world of hurt. If you ever downloaded anything from the Net, especially pirated music, you could be infected. If you don’t have a removal package you can get a free one at:

Something to Think About by Jan Tincher

Your brain works in pictures.

Visualize what you want so it can bring it to you.

Do you *wish* you had a better job?
Do you *wish* you had more money?
Do you *wish* you had more energy?

Your brain works in pictures. *Wishing* is not a picture. *Wishing* is so far out there, your brain doesn't even recognize it. *Wishing* is just saying something like, *Oh, I wish I could do, have, be . . .* Picture having what you want. See your *wishes* come true.
 

An article that will help is *Your Decisions Determine Your Destiny*. You can find it here:

Food for Thought

Role Play to Increase Your Confidence

Being confident is probably the most important quality a business person can have. The more confident you are, the more sales you will close. Role-playing is an easy and effective way to help salespeople build their confidence. It gives salespeople the opportunity to learn new information, test their selling skills, and try different approaches.

Try splitting your role-playing session into two parts. After the first session, have a brief discussion of what the observers saw. Then do the same role-play again, then discuss. Usually your second attempt will be much better.

Use a camcorder to record each role-play to dramatically increase the effectiveness of your sessions. Often it is easier to see both the mistakes that were made and what was done well when you are watching it yourself. Later, you will have a library of sessions you can go back on and see your improvement.

Selling can be a difficult process. Customers judge you and compare you to the competition. Many companies use sales training to improve their odds, but no training program would be complete without practice sessions.

Trivia

Our modern tattooing, dates back to the mid 1700s. and James
Cook's expedition to Tahiti. His logs and reports tell how the
natives decorated their bodies with symbols, called a "tattau".
Sailors, fascinated with the intricate and unusual artwork,
often went home from exotic locations such as Tahiti, wearing
the same decorations, thereby spreading the practice to Europe
and beyond.

Quiz Query
-=-=--=-=-=

My daughter's 5th-grade class had been studying astronomy.
One morning at breakfast she announced, "On Friday we're having a quiz on the moon."

That's when her little brother piped up, saying, "Are you gonna let her go, Mom?"

-----

One night a fellow drove his secretary home after she had imbibed a little too much at an office reception. Although this was an innocent gesture, he decided not to mention it to his wife, who tended to get jealous easily.

The next night the man and his wife were driving to a restaurant. Suddenly he looked down and spotted a high-heel shoe half hidden under the passenger seat. Not wanting to be conspicuous, he waited until his wife was looking out her window before he scooped up the shoe and tossed it out of the car.

With a sigh of relief, he pulled into the restaurant parking lot. That's when he noticed his wife squirming around in her seat. "Honey," she asked, "have you seen my other shoe?"

-----

One night a teenage girl brought her new boyfriend home to meet her parents, and they were appalled by his appearance: leather jacket, motorcycle boots, tattoos and pierced nose.
Later, the parents pulled their daughter aside and confessed their concern. "Dear," said the mother diplomatically, "he doesn't seem very nice."

"Oh please, Mom," replied the daughter, "if he wasn't nice, why would he be doing 500 hours of community service?"

-----

During court one busy day, the judge quietly passed the clerk a note reading: "Blind on right side, may be falling. Please call someone."  Understandably alarmed, the clerk called for help before whispering to the judge that paramedics were on their way.

Puzzled, the judge pointed to a sagging Venetian blind on the right side of the room and explained, "I was thinking maybe someone from maintenance!"

The Dollar Stretcher
by Gary Foreman

Finding a Work-at-Home Job

Please discuss the ins and outs of working at home and how to find a legitimate company to work for that requires no start up cost - Donna

Donna asks a good question. According to the American FactFinder, 5 million Americans work at home. That's about 3% of all workers. And the trend is for more people to join the at-home workforce.

We'll begin by looking at some steps that Donna should take in looking for any job. Then we'll discuss some things that are unique to finding an at-home job. And, finally, we'll discuss some traps and scams to avoid.

An important step in any job hunt is a self-evaluation. What job skills do you have? What types of work do you like to do? Are there tasks that you very much dislike?

After you know yourself, you can determine which jobs best match your skills and interests. Then figure out where those jobs can be found. A good starting place is the classified ads. Both in Donna's local paper and online.

Many job applicants skip an important step. They don't research the potential employer. An online search or visit to the library will provide some good background information about the company. Not only will Donna know enough to ask good questions during an interview, but she'll also be better able to decide whether it's the kind of company she'd like as an employer.

OK, now that we've looked at some general job hunting tips, let's get specific about at-home jobs.

The first thing is to recognize that not everyone is meant to work at home. It takes discipline, motivation and skills that translate to an at-home environment.

There are a number of websites dedicated to at-home workers. The Independent Homeworkers Alliance at www.homeworkers.org provides work-at-home job listings. You can try a free trial membership before joining on a paid basis. Avoid expensive membership dues or fees. You do not need to join anything to be successful in your job hunt.

Networking is especially valuable when you want to work at home. Friends will know about employers who might be looking for additional help. They can also find out whether the employer would hire at-home workers.

Just like a typical job search, try to think of companies that could use the skills that you have, only this time using them at home. Donna's best bet might be to call or visit companies that could use her skills with a resume in hand.

She may find that the potential employer has not tried work-at-home employees before. Information explaining how they can reduce company overhead costs would be helpful.

Once Donna has an offer, she'll need to decide whether to accept it. Part of that decision is determining whether the offer is real or just a scam.

Some scams are easy to spot. Any job advertised as "easy" or "anyone can do it" won't make you rich. And real jobs don't require that you buy office supplies to get started.

There are some jobs that Donna can pretty much assume are either scams or are highly unlikely to work out. Processing claims, posting ads, stuffing envelopes and data entry jobs are all suspect.

And just because a job uses the Internet doesn't mean that you should put your common sense in the closet. You cannot set up an inexpensive website for a product/service that "the whole world needs" and expect them to flock to your site making you a fortune. Even with search, getting your site noticed is hard work and takes expertise.

If you haven't already, try to find out more about the proposed employer from independent sources. It's easy for a company to post glowing tributes from strangers. Be suspicious of them.

Don't hesitate to ask the company for references. Just the way the company responds will tell you something about them. Real companies will not be surprised or insulted at the request.

Ask trusted friends what they think of the opportunity. Give yourself time to think about it, too. Heed your instincts. If you're at all suspicious, the wise thing is to walk away.

Donna does need to be prepared to work for commission or on a "task-completed" basis. Most at-home jobs are not paid on a "per hour" or salary.

Finally, Donna will need to know whether she'll be an employee or a contract worker. If she's a contract worker, she could be responsible for extra taxes.

Finding a legitimate work-at-home job isn't easy. The biggest challenge is determining if she has skills that can be applied to an at-home job situation. Without those, it will be very difficult to find a job that isn't a scam. However, if she has those skills, more and more employers are willing to let workers telecommute.
