I tried "live" videocasting before but it just seemed a bit too complicated. I want to "broadcast" interviews for our business site, interviewing industry figures and Wetoku looks like it is just the ticket. Your website is full of great tips and recommendations, especially for small business owners like myself. Thanks again. Thanks for telling us about this Sherman.

I just signed up for their service last month. I checked it out a few years ago and never signed up. I always heared about aweber and constant contact to name a few. I was ready to $20 a month or more for an auto responder. When I discovered that mailchimp was free up to 500 email names I jump right on it. Today I’m taking time to learn how to attach mailchimp forms to my websites. I have my own forms but I couldn't for some reason find out on mailchimp's site how to set up a form for my sites.

I too feel that The Shack was a breath of fresh air for those who find the church's traditional emphasis of the anger, judgement and remoteness in the Father's character has stifled any real affection or love for Him. The Shack opens up some new vistas in regard to God's grace, love and desire to really engage with us at a meaningful level. My reading group has recently combined The Shack with Forgiving Ararat by Gita Nazareth and The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold, in raising an intellectual debate about religion. Thought you may find it to your liking. A job well done over at Windrumors!

Yes, Agassi really focused on his conditioning and returned several times with vengeance. And in all areas of life, be it sports or business or any other platform, its the unsexy preparation that matters, the stuff people don't see. I believe your situation calls for the same mental and attitude fortitude Agassi executed for his game. Keep the 'ball' moving, focus on your strengths, outsource the rest. Either learn the technical stuff, oftentimes not the most productive use of our time, or pass it on to the outsourced practitioners. I overcame my perfection through 'pain'. Has always worked better for me than 'pleasure'. I envision how much 'pain' the 'perfectionism' in whatever I'm working on is preventing or road-blocking me to my destination/objectives/success/ROI/profits/pain I'm causing myself or family etc etc... then I knock it out with vengeance ;-) It's a mental game. A journey. That's why what Brad Gilbert shared in 'Open' spoke to me so deeply. It's not about hitting winners every time, just keep the ball moving. I have Oscar W's "Play Better Tennis In 2 Hours" book!! It's brilliant! Have to get my hands on his training videos :-) Thanks Paul! ROCK ON!! Hi Paul, thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Liked the Agassi review and application. All this web/blog stuff is new to me, unlike tennis which I've loved and played since I was 12. Always found that Agassi's comeback also teaches us a lesson: he just focused on conditioning. The day to day, off the TV, discipline. Also liked how Agassi created high purpose for himself and tennis earnings (eg work with kids and foundation.) Was willing to change himself and change his mental game and attitude. Not sure how to change mine when it comes to being stopped by technical stuff in front of getting content out. How did you overcome your blocks/perfectionism)?

I've grown & evolved whereby certain areas or disciplines come easier to me, so there's very little procrastination or perfection hangups in those areas. It doesn't excuse my clients to hang on to their perfection hangups, regardless :) But there are certain areas in my business, including mindset, that I find myself delaying action, or justifying or making things more complicated than necessary.

I meant to update that post to say, " why choose Crash Plan when Carbonite is actually unlimited with no hidden gimmicks."

I am a very spiritual person and my life is enriched in my heart with the love I have for Jesus and God. I am a Catholic but would just like to say I am not ignorant of others faith, here is why. For many years I have prayed endlessly to God for him to assist my marriage, to guide my husband to him. I loved my husband so much that all I wanted for him was to be a true person, to love himself, then others. If he respected himself then he could respect others as God wants. Anyway I found out my husband had an affair my heart broke- my world was torn apart. How could this happen to me I do not deserve this- for some time I have struggled with forgiveness. My husband also a Catholic struggled with his feelings and had lost his faith. For seven years I have had a lovely man at my door he is a Jehovah's Witneess. I have been very wary because it was drummed into me as a child and a Catholic do not let them in. Anyway to cut a long story short- this man stopped at my door to give me a copy of the Watchtower- as usual I was polite and none ignorant. My husband came out and began a conversation with him- that was the day he met God. A few weeks have passed and there is no promise of my husband becoming ever a JW. But this man sits and chats and discusses the family and importance of being a better person- he has calmed down, stopped smoking has become the person I wanted him to be for himself. He takes time to listen, is thoughtful. Therefore God comes in different guises and religions, if you believe in Jesus and GOD then believe someday, somehow he will come and maybe not in the way you thought he would. That mans persistence knocking at my door prevailed after 7 years- I am being honest from my heart- my home is now a garden finding bloom- each day I am being given a bouquet of happiness xxx Love Peg xxx Dearest All
