Sudden Spouse Death

SUDDEN SPOUSE DEATH

Recently, friends came over for dinner and then left the next day for their winter home. Two days later, the husband called to tell us that his wife had lain down for a nap, and never woke up again.

This had a profound effect on me. It disturbed my sense of mortality. It made me look at my family with new eyes, and wonder whether I appreciated everything that was good in my life. Had I ever been mean to anyone that I would regret.

I have gathered together a team of experts in all aspects of grief counselling, finances, and some healthy doses of practical advice, which you can get at my website. Sudden Spouse Death.

What if you didn't have e-mail?

A jobless man applied for the post of "office boy" at Microsoft.

The HR manager interviewed him, then watched him cleaning the floor as a test.
"You are employed", he said. "Give me your e-mail address and I'll send you the application to fill in, as well as the date when you may start"

The man replied" But I don't have a computer, neither an e-mail."
"I'm sorry," said the HR maanger. "If you don't have an e-mail, that means you do not exist. And who doesn't exist, cannot have the job."


The man left with no hope at all. He didn't know what to do, with only $10 in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy a 10 lb tomato crate. He then sold the tomatoes door to door. In less than two hours, he succeeded to double his capital. He repeated the operation three times, and returned home with $60.

The man realised that he could survive this way, and started to go everyday earlier, and return later. Thus, his money doubled and tripled everday.

Shortly, he bought a cart, then a truck, then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles. 5 years later, then man was one of the biggest food retailers in the US.


He started to plan his family's future, and decided to have a life insurance. He called an insurance broker, and chose a protection plan. When the conversation was concluded, the broker asked him for his e-mail address.


The man replied, "I don't have an email". The broker answered curiously, "You don't have an e-mail, and yet you have succeeded to build an empire. Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an e-mail?!!"


The man thought for a while, and replied, "Yes, I'd be an office boy at Microsoft!"


Moral of the story

Moral 1 - Internet/e-mail is not the solution to your life.

Moral 2 - If you don't have an internet-email, and work hard, you can be a millionaire.

Moral 3 - If you received this message by e-mail, you are probably already an office boy/girl, and not any closer to being a Billionaire....!!

Outsourcing for Small Companies

More and more small one-man businesses are learning to outsource their valuable time to fulfillment houses in order to get their orders processed.

This makes sense if you are doing everything yourself..... you cannot concentrate on generating an income if you are a jack-of-all-trades.

This is also especially important for foreign companies selling their goods in the USA. Check out Baobab Inc for your warehouse services and get your free copy of "How to Sell in the USA".

Nobody knows how to sell your products better than yourself. Therefore, that is what you should be concentrating on, and leave the drudge work to experienced fulfillment houses that will pack your orders and send them out.

You could also outsource other aspects of your business, like a bookkeeper and a website controller. What you pay for these services you will more than make up for in extra sales and income.
