    Arbitrage Trading Reviewed 2006 - Part 2
    Hello and welcome. If you are reading this you must be interested in how someone can go about making money working with arbitrage trading. Sports arbitrage trading is a huge thing over in the UK, and is growing in popularity in the United States.Many people are still very unfamiliar with arbitrage trading. Sports arbitrage trading is one of the easiest ways that I have found to make profits working online. I find it to be easy, because its almost ris
    deserves to know about them -- after all, nothing's worse than being disappointed after you buy something.

    Well... there are things worse than that, but they're irrelevant for now.

    O.K.?

    The other thing this whole issue about Kate Moss teaches you, is that in the end... we're all on the same level playing field. See, even though Moss was making over $10,000 Dollars DAILY in her heyday during the 1990's, that didn't stop her from being made out to be "the bad guy" because of her reluctance to own up to what was going on.

    Don't you make the same mistake -- it's a costly lesson to learn and I'd hate to see everything you've worked so hard for, blown by one foolish error.

    Four Steps to Entrepreneurship
    As more and more people start or consider starting their own business, it is important that they understand the core steps that are required to launch successful ventures. These steps include spotting, assessing, selecting and executing upon opportunities.Spotting OpportunitiesThe first step to entrepreneurship is identifying opportunities. The entrepreneur must be able to spot an unmet need. Oftentimes this need is seen through an inefficiency in the marke
    Like my wife, super model Kate Moss was born in England.

    Unlike my wife, Kate Moss has a little "nose candy" problem.

    Personally, I don't think it's anyone's business who's doing what -- to each his own. And besides, good ole Kate's probably a saint next to most people in the entertainment industry.

    However, since, as Thoreau said, "Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them," once the press got a hold of what was going on, they had an absolute field day.

    Moss has subsequently lost nearly $3 Million Dollars worth of modeling contracts because of this.

    What happened was, after Kate spent weeks denying her problem, avoiding the issue, and saying nothing, she came out with this statement last week:

    "I want to apologize to all of the people I have let down because of my behavior, which has reflected badly on my family, friends, coworkers, business associates, and others."

    Now Moss will eventually be forgiven -- after all, if Marv Albert can be forgiven -- anyone can. But don't you think Moss would have been completely forgiven -- and forgiven almost immediately -- if she would have just taken ownership of the issue straight-away, and admitted it?

    Don't you think if Kate came right out and said something like this, it would have gone a LOT further?

    "I realize I have a problem, and I also realize that to date, I've done a bad job managing it. However, I am now taking steps to fix this situation. I hope all my friends, my family, and my business associates, can find it in their heart to forgive me for this indescretion, and recognize that in the end, I am only human too."

    The thing is, whenever you're looking at tweaking your sales copy -- http://www.kingofcopy.com/salescopyreview -- one of the smartest things you can ever do, is to come clean with any wrinkles or product flaws you have.

    This makes you a lot more "real" to your prospects. It also lets them know, that you too, are only human, and it makes almost ANYTHING else you're saying, have 100% credibility.

    Here's what I mean. Let's say you're selling some kind of a lawnmower. Maybe you'd reveal your flaws like this:

    "Listen, the LawnTrimmer is probably the most effortless lawn-cutter you'll ever be able to use. But one thing I must let you know about the LawnTrimmer, is that if your back-yard has LOADS of trees, or if you've got an unusual amount of curves to go around to get your lawn looking even, then the LawnTrimmer isn't for you.

    See, the LawnTrimmer was originally designed to manicure professional golf-courses -- you know the ones I mean"... yadda, yadda, yadda.

    So make sure you're revealing your flaws in your sales pitches. Plus, if they're big flaws, your prospect deserves to know about them -- after all, nothing's worse than being disappointed after you buy something.

    Well... there are things worse than that, but they're irrelevant for now.

    Is It Just Me or is Business Getting Tougher?
    Is it just me or is business getting tougher? Look around gas prices are rising and all the manufacturing jobs are going elsewhere? What should we do? The only thing certain about our economy today, is that it will look different tomorrow. How computers changed the economies of the 80's and 90's, today we deal with cheap foreign labor.The North American economy used to have an advantage in that we were well educated and technologically advanced.

    What is Your #1 Obligation to Your Retail Customer?
    What is your #1 Obligation to your customer? When I ask that question to retailers they generally say, “To provide the best service to our customer,” or “To help the customer get what they want.” or even “To provide an extraordinary experience so they come back.”. While these things are all good and important, I think that there is something even more important.Sew and Vac retailers have a tremendous opportunity compared to other retail businesses. Most retailers

    How to Start Meetings on Time
    1) Make it part of the agenda.Put the arrival time on the agenda. For example, for a meeting scheduled to start at 9:00 AM, you could put "8:50 AM - - - Arrive at the Meeting" at the top of the agenda.An arrival time is useful because it allows everyone time to socialize, obtain coffee, or organize materials before the meeting. It also ensures everyone is present at the scheduled starting time.2) Offer a treat.Provide coffee, juice, or a veget

    Corporate Cleavage
    I enjoy cleavage as much or even more than the next guy. However, after reading my latest issue of Men’s Health magazine, I checked my Encarta dictionary and looked up the word “cleavage”.There is business science in “them der hills”, namely the division or splitting of something, and last but not least, “the hollow visible between the breasts of a woman wearing a low cut garment”.Suffice to say, I was very relieved that I had not been bastardizing the use
