Lesson #4: Low Risk Means Low Rewards

Creating Your Vision
| |
| As a youngster I often pretended I was the teacher and my friends were students in my class. When my friends didn't want to play I just used my dolls and stuffed animals. In later years I would daydream in class about how I could make the topic easier to understand or the class more fun than the teacher up front. I didn’t know it then but I was creating a vision. |

Information Highway Roadkill!
| |
| Don't Become Part of the Information Highway Road Kill. Road kill refers to the animals that have been struck by a motor vehicle and killed. You can rarely go on the highway without seeing roadkill. The animals are in the wrong place at the wrong time and fast moving motor vehicles can't always avoid hitting these unfortunate animals. The Internet is often been referred to as the information highway and it has its own version of roadkill. There are no motor vehicles on the information highway but there definitely is a lot of roadkill! The information highway is strewn with defeated and broken entrepreneurs. |

Making Your Goals Happen In The New Year
| |
| As 2010 is coming to a fast end, I’m sitting in my office wondering where did the time go? I look around and reflect on all my uncompleted goals. From my cluttered desk to my over stuffed cabinets. My unorganized office is just a reminder of things that need to be done. It’s the little goals that never get done. Let alone the big ones that I haven’t even brought up. |

Here’s A Smelly Subject
| |
| There are really only a few common causes of bad odors. It can be from a human or animal source or often it is fungal. Today, I want to address when it is caused by animals or people who act like animals. The worst has to be a bladder control problem from a cat. However, male animals tend to mark their territory by spraying vertical objects like walls and furniture. Most wall substrates are porous and will soak up the urine and retain all the odors just to dispense it over time. Wood floors are also highly absorbent and will act like a wick to all liquids. Funny enough, most folks figure that if it’s dry, it’s gone. WRONG! Those odors are there to stay and will come back to haunt the unwary buyer. Don’t let that be you. |
