Diamonds Among The Weeds

Many years ago I worked for a very wise man who was, by many reconnings, also somewhat crazy. The thing is, if you could accept and get past the “crazy” bit, there were diamonds among the weeds. I remember him often saying, “You have to walk north to get the car to go south to Bolton!” which, in itself, is pretty much meaningless, but when put into contexted it becomes one of those exceptional gems.

Is working online for a second income good for YOU?

Answer these questions about your own situation:  If you can say yes to at least 3 of these questions, then you have the “right stuff” and can be successful in an online business.

 

1.  Can you be efficient and learn to duplicate successful actions a few times a week? 

 

It is great to be creative and learn a lot of new things, but there are a handful of basic things that you can do that will bring you success week after week.


2.  Do you have self-discipline.  Can you commit to 10 hours a week for your online work?

Exceptional Marketing Flair

Every now and then people surprise me. It shows that with a little bit of trying we really can get along! T-Mobile recorded this great commercial unbeknown to the daily commuters at the train station in Liverpool, England. They practiced for 8 weeks plus one late night at the station itself and then, on January 15th, 2009, with hidden cameras and 400 dancers at 11:00 a.m. their plan was put into action. See how many regular travelers get caught up in the moment!

This is what “viral video” is all about!

Do You Remember?

Family Table OSASomeone asked the other day, "What was your favorite fast food when you were growing up?" "We didn’t have fast food when I was growing up," I informed him. "All the food was slow." "C’mon, seriously," he persisted. "Where did you eat?"

"It was a place called at home," I explained. "Mom cooked every day and when Dad got home from work, we sat down together at the dining room table, and if I didn’t like what she put on my plate I was allowed to sit there until I did like it."

The Times They Are A-Changing

There may actually be people reading this who have no idea where the title of this post comes from or even who Bob Dylan is. It’s not surprising. I’m an old guy and Dylan may have been before your time.

Welcome To Our New Website

Today the Online Selling Association began moving into its new website; this one. If you’ve been to the old OSA site you will find a lot here that is recognizable — a comfortable feeling, we hope — and an number of additional things that are new, and may not be so recognizable, too. We’re running on a much more feature-rich platform, on a powerful new server, and with an entirely new website package, in order to bring our visitors and our members and extended range of expanded features and services we were not able to offer before.
