Understanding the Resources for Your Business Increases Productivity
May 8, 2008
One of the most important considerations of running a successful and profitable online business involves resources. By resources, we are referring to the suite of online resources that you use in your business on a daily basis. Regardless of whether you are an internet marketer or online entrepreneur focusing on another niche, it is vitally important that you document the most common online resources that you use in your business.
There are three main reasons why it is important to know, document, and utilize essentially an electronic Rolodex of online resources.
1) Save time -
The first and largest factor of utilizing an online Rolodex of resources is to save time. How many times have you went to add a script to your website only to have to waste 30 minutes searching for the script? When you cannot find a resource at the appropriate time, you are subjecting yourself and your business to inefficiencies that lead to lost production.
2) Save money - When you know where to find your resources it will keep you from “Googling” to find a resource and from getting hooked on someone’s sales page. About the time that you need a specific resource and cannot find it, the next obvious step is to search Google for that or a similar resource. Just record your resource links to avoid this time wasting and money spending activity!
3) Improved products -
It takes time and money to buy resources. When you’ve purchased something once……don’t waste time looking for alternatives or waste money purchasing competitor’s products. Focus on the resources that you do have – use them daily and become an expert in the application of those resources. Over time, your products will improve due to the consistency of use and of the resources that you use to complete daily tasks!
Overall, it is important to record your online resources for quick and efficient reference. By doing so, you’ll improve business efficiencies leading to saved time and money!

If you downloaded the Productivity Report the other day, you would have seen that there was a recommended resource listed at the end of it.
It was created by someone that gets hired by Fortune 100 Companies to show them how they can be more productive, so I’m sure he can teach you a thing or two!
His name is Brad Semp and he’s the mastermind behind Resource Cashmaps.
And in case you didn’t download the report or “think” you don’t need it, here’s the link:
http://www.EmailCashmaps.com The Plainsman movie Last Man Standing movie download
I met Brad at JV Alert in Philly during a lunch presentation he did and I was immediately intrigued by what he had to say.
In fact, his presentation took him longer than expected and when his time was up, everyone in the room voted to let him continue, rather than get up and return to the seminar!
When he was finished, I happily handed him my order form to be involved in a $500 private webinar series that he conducted over the summer.
So go and grab your free Resouce Cashmaps The Last Boy Scout hd and, at the very least, visit and bookmark the Email Cashmaps website. You’ll need them eventually!
Have a prosperous day!Ballast
Creating a Productive Workspace
May 6, 2008
If you’re like most people, when you hear the word ‘productivity’, the things that come to mind probably include activities like prioritizing your chores, creating to-do lists, deliberate planning and so on.
These are essential, yes. But here’s one that most people leave out: Creating a productive workspace. Here’s how you can create your own:
~~> Create a cone of silence.
If you’re constantly interrupted by the phone, the door, emails and your child’s questions, you’ll never get anything finished. You need to clear out the distractions and create a “cone of silence” in your workspace.
If you’re doing work at home and there are others living in the house, it’s next to impossible to have a completely distraction-free day. As an alternative, schedule specific times of day where family members and friends aren’t allowed to interrupt you. Explain that it’s no different than if you worked at an office.
~~> Clear up the clutter. Your idea of clean is someone else’s idea of clutter. And that’s all right. The idea here isn’t to create a workspace that meets another persons idea of clutter-free. Instead, you should create a workspace that’s organized in a way that you can find things quickly.
If that means using milk crates instead of a filing cabinet, so be it. As long as you can quickly get to the items you want when you need them – and as long as you’re at ease with how your workspace looks – then that’s all that matters.
Personally, I like to have things around me within an arm’s reach. I place small piles on the floor so I can spin around in my chair and grab them.
I once went on a month long trip, attending seminars around the country and came home to find that my wife decided to “tidy things up” for me. It took me a month to get things “back to normal”.
Create a workspace for yourself, not to impress someone else.
~~> Make your workspace “yours”. Jerry Maguire full That means putting up pictures, memorabilia or anything else that makes you feel like this is your space. I’m a big NASCAR fan, so my wife calls my office, “The Race Room”!
If there are other people in the house, simply ask that this space be yours. I joke with my friends that I only own two rooms in my house. The office, which I share with an alligator and the kitchen. The rest belongs to my wife!
If your workspace doesn’t make you feel creative and energetic, then you’ll need to make some changes. It can be as easy as making sure it’s the right color or that you have enough light.
Making small changes like these could mean a world of difference to your productivity!
I’ve created another report that you can download for free, just click the link below.
Enjoy! And have a “productive” weekend!
Paper Application
April 17, 2008
Believe you cannot obtain a paper credit card application?
I have requested a paper credit card application for my father who would be 86 and would prefer to submit an application by mail. I was told that there was no place online to print the paper application, but paper applications were available from branches. As the closest branch would be a 24 mile round trip I wonder when I call the branch they will use their bulk rate postage to sent an application by mail or insist I drive to the branch? Does this smell of some kind of discrimination against those who choose not to reveal credit card information online?
I’m sure if you called the branch and asked them to mail you an application, they’d be happy to do it. It sounds like you may have called the bank’s 800 number and I’m surprised they weren’t equipped to mail you an application.

Time Card
November 30, 2007
Is it possible to replace a social security card when I can’t obtain a birth certificate in time?
My fiance’s wallet was stolen, including his Social Security card. This comes at a bad time, because for housing purposes I have to show his card or lose my grant. It’s going to take too long to get his birth certificate as proof for social security….So is there any other forms of ID the social security office will accept so the card can be replaced?
I just recently had another Social Security card sent to me. I do not have a copy of my birth certificate, either. I send my picture school ID in, instead.
