A “YouTube” post
I found this You Tube video and wanted to see how to get this displayed in my site. This should now work, I hope!

The Art of Friendly Persistence
The below is a text I saw online that I think really well describes the way to do business, do you agree?
Friendly Persistence.
Those are magic words in business. It’s really what separates people who do just OK from people who do well. It’s an attitude or mindset that embodies the following:
1. I have something of value to offer. I’m proud of that. I’m not ashamed to promote myself.
2. I will build the communication skills to convey this value to others. They may not see this value unless I show them.
3. If someone shows interest, I’ll engage with them and find out about their needs and see if what I have fits for them.
4. If they are uncertain, I’ll educate them, tell them stories, show them proof that the value is there.
5. If they are not ready now, I’ll follow up with them later. I’ll have more information to communicate the value.
6. I’ll find a way to do business that is win-win. I’m willing to negotiate and find a solution that works for all.
7. If someone doesn’t do business with me, I’ll remember that you can’t sell to everyone and I’ll move on.
This mindset of friendly persistence may be the most important thing you can cultivate in your business. Not only will you be more successful, you’ll be happier.

So, 2006 was not really much of a bloging year
When I now look back over 2006, I did not get much blogged!
Probabally due to a combination of lazyness, and having a new job. That certainly seemed to take up a good potion of my time. I am not one for new year resolutions so no promise that 2007 will be any better, but it would be nice if I could manage that.
One thing that changed during the year is one of the uses I was putting this site too. I used to use it for notes and also for information about websites that I liked. Then I have to say I discovered del.icio.us well discovered is not really correct. I had known about it for quite a time. I just never really felt the need to use it. But once I started I just kept going! So far over a 1000 links and counting. If you also look at lots of references the it i worth looking at.
