Have you come across people who come to you for answers but actually seem to have all the answers already?
The situation becomes even especially more challenging when they have not paid for your time in trying to help them get their answers. I have had several such encounters with people who wanted me to guide them; coaching them so they could succeed in their careers. But, as it turned out, they really were not looking for anything but to waste my time.

Do you believe that you don’t need to talk about yourself if you are good at what you do? Or, shall we call it as a ‘myth’?
Over the years I have met people who absolutely believe that the only people who promote themselves and talk about their skills and craft are those who are not good at it. Have you met people like that? Do you believe in that theory?
When it comes to using social media as an entrepreneur, should you invest your time in growing your presence on Google+?
There are different purposes behind using different social networking websites. But, does Google+ deserve an investment of your time?
Most of us have a Gmail account. Gmail has almost become a gold standard in email hosting. You might find yourself using it for everything in your life as well.
But, as everything else that comes free, your Gmail account isn’t always safe or secure. Your accounts may get deactivated or hacked for any reason and then you know how painful the recovery process can be.
This is the scary part.
On top of that, imagine you are using Google Drive to store your documents (like I do). Losing your Gmail account can be devastating for many.

Did you know that your profile picture is the first thing that people like or dislike about you when they see you first time online?
Your profile picture is your foremost representative in the digital world. It is the most important aspect of your first impression online. It affects how we are perceived by others.
If your personal branding is important to you, you should pay attention to how you choose your profile pictures on Facebook/Twitter/Google+ or any other website that represents you. Let’s discuss the reasons.

The success of your email marketing depends on how many people open your email. Obviously there is no point in sending emails to those who don’t even open your emails, right?
Email open rates seem to be an important metric for many internet marketers. In fact, I have been very diligently following email open rates for a long time.
But, it changed after my friend and a fellow entrepreneur, Adrian Jock helped me understand this correctly.
Due to a few personal commitments and pressing projects this week, I couldn’t put together a post that could add value. I didn’t want to publish because I must publish something.
Therefore, I am not publishing any additional post this week.
However, please check out my post about “Network Marketing” and add value through your comments and share it with your friends.
Thank you for the love!

Those of you who know me, know that I have a good size network marketing business. Those of you who know how true network marketing works, also know that it’s about building organizations, building leaders, and it’s not an easy overnight process.
I have a growing business in 5+ countries. The reason I share my experience isn’t because I want to impress you, but to tell you that I have spent years in this industry and I know what it takes to build a business that can pass the test of time.
Let me state a few facts to provide a starting point based on a fair understanding of the network marketing business model.
Social media is so irresistible that it’s almost impossible to stay away from it. How many times have you come across a situation where you wanted to sign up for a new product or service and it wants you to sign up with your Facebook or Twitter account?
Well, social media is now integrated into our online lives.
I have friends who hate Facebook for philosophical reasons but can’t get out of it because other products and services they use need them to have a Facebook account. Obviously they hate Facebook even more.
Everybody seems to talk of “To-Do-List” and I had shared about it earlier when I shared how I manage my list as well.
However, having a “Not-To-Do” list is equally important, if not more so, because I have been in situations recently where there are more things lined up for me to act upon while I am not yet done with my current task at hand. Situations like this bring frustration.
What I noticed with experience is, as we get better at doing our work effectively, we also attract more and more attention from others and that means more assignments.
