Dear Shawn,
November is almost
over...time is really
flying - I hope things
are going well with you
as this year starts
winding down.
My goal is to help
business owners build
their business and be
more successful. In
short, help them find
their competitive edge.
This newsletter
hopefully has articles
and resources that are
interesting and helpful
to anyone trying to move
up to the next level.
If you know of anyone
that might be interested
in that sort of thing or
just like a juicy
newsletter ;-), please
forward this to them.
Now what can I do to
help you out?
Seriously, Let me know.
Have a great day!
Shawn

Are you trading time for
money? |
|
Do you know how to
get out of this
predicament?
I've talked to quite a
few people lately that
have recognized that
they
are the constraint for
their business.

|
Are you stressed out? |
|
Is
your stress working for
you or against you?
This is probably a
rhetorical question
for a small business
owner. You've got a
million things to
do and never enough
time to do them.
Stress can be
debilitating, but it
can also push you
into doing things
you're not
comfortable with and
keep you on top of
your game. The
question is, can you
successfully manage
that stress?

Getting
Things Done
Getting Things done is a
great book from David
Allen that has created
almost a cult like
following on the
Internet - there are
dozens of sites, tools
and forums devoted to
helping you implement
and automate a lot of
the ideas of Getting
Things Done.
The subtitle is "The Art
of Stress-Free
Productivity", and I
think that approach is a
big reason for the
popularity. The idea
that you can manage your
stress directly rather
than just the
symptoms is extremely
compelling to many.
Even if you only find a
few ideas to
implement here, it will
be worth the time and
effort - highly
recommended!

Pandora
- Discover Music
Pandora is billed as the
'Music Genome Project'.
It's an internet radio
station that plays music
like what you select -
here's a description:
" we set out to capture
the essence of music at
the most fundamental
level. We ended up
assembling literally
hundreds of musical
attributes or "genes"
into a very large Music
Genome. Taken together
these genes capture the
unique and magical
musical identity of a
song - everything from
melody, harmony and
rhythm, to
instrumentation,
orchestration,
arrangement, lyrics, and
of course the rich world
of singing and vocal
harmony. It's not about
what a band looks like,
or what genre they
supposedly belong to, or
about who buys their
records - it's about
what each individual
song sounds like."
So if you like the
latest Amy Winehouse
song, you can enter
that as your
starting point and
Pandora will find
songs and artists
that are musically
similar - it's a
great way to find
new bands!
