TVN Tip of the Week October 29, 2007

This month's theme is entrepreneurs but here's a tip that can come in handy for anyone using email. Need to reformat some text for an email blast? Check out http://www.formatit.com It's super easy to use and comes in handy. Also, it's "cousin" Re-Formatit (same URL): "If you have text that has been previously formatted (such as e-mail you have received) and you would like to reformat it."

TVN Tip of the Week October 24, 2007

The entrepreneurial lifestyle is one of the major factors that drives many entrepreneurs to the decision to start their own business. It usually involves long hours, especially when starting out, but a great deal of flexibility as well. Juggling work and personal life can be a daunting challenge. As the driving force behind The Virtual Nation, I have had to set boundaries and structure my day to allow for the most and best of my energies to be divided among both. I now check my email less frequently and set definite times to end my day. I also have put together a top notch team that can be relied on for delegation of tasks. What can you do differently to allow for more balance in your life?

3 Ways to Speak so Clients Listen

Preparation, presentation and passion- three simple
concepts that when used correctly can make you a great
speaker. In private and public life these principles
apply, and if you look closely at the successful
people in your life, you are certain to find them in action.
If you prepare in advance and take the time to present
yourself and the material well, your passion will come
through, and that's when people will really listen.
