Sometimes the Only Way Forward is to....Take The Leap
I just celebrated one of those big Life Moments with a cup of coffee at my home office desk. Decided I needed to write about it as it is worthy of marking this particular place in time. An examined moment of full consciousness and personal choice. The closing of one avenue of opportunity and the stepping into the next river of the unknown.
I'm now completely finished with a 22 year successful career as a mortgage broker. I have known for some years now that this time was approaching. Circumstances and the state of the financial industry have now brought this career to an end. It feels bittersweet to make the choice to stop doing what one has done so well for so long. But in the end, nothing is forever and the best choice is to stop and go and do something else that will be more meaningful and provide new challenges and enjoyment to my life.
Over the last 3 years I have been re-purposing myself for this next step. Working at studying and gaining experience in my new “next thing”. I am now well on my way in my new career. It feels so wonderful to be able to focus on this one thing instead of splitting myself into ever smaller splinters each day. Straddling the fence is OK for a while – then you just have to commit to one side or the other. Which is what I have done today.
I am one of a vast sea of people who are in this same place – forced there by the changing economy, life transition, loosing a long held job, or just plain feeling that the time is right to take the leap of faith. Remembering that at other similar stages in life, we have all done this at least several times before. We move forward. Believing in our inate optimism to prosper and enjoy the process of the work we chose to define ourselves by each day.
Life itself requires us to honor the need to change and evolve – this is what we are about. I feel new again.

The Easiest New Business to Find is Right in Front of You
As Business Owners we are always scouring our brains for ways to attract new business. If it's something new and sexy it must be the answer - Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Plaxo. A miriad of other social or not so social media sites that magically provide us with instant access to all those people in high places who make the decisions to hire your small business. I'm not saying that you shouldn't try these tactics, of course you should. In the end, however, people do business with people they already know and trust. Where do we find these people? Our previous satisfied clients data base. They are a goldmine of opportunity that often goes completely untapped for the very reason that they are so obvious.
There is a fine line, in my opinion, between staying in touch with people on a regular basis - maybe once a month - and being downright annoying with too frequent contact that verges on Spam. I'm sure you all have people who you know who email you constantly about everything. After a while I get so annoyed that I just put them on my Spam List and thus solve the problem. Unfortunately, if they did have some message or offer that could possibly interest me, it is now completely lost to me. See my next post here in a day or two for the way around this problem.........

Copywriting Boot Camp in November
I'm excited to be attending the AWAI Copywriting BootCamp in Del Ray Beach, Florida in early November - 3 days of wall- to- wall learning of new skills, meeting other copywriters and schmoozing with other professionals like me. Finding out about the latest tips and techniques for writing for the web. It will be energizing, fun and profitable. What more could I wish for. Oh, and Florida won't be bad either - a little warmth, walking the beach in the early morning to greet the day - my hotel is right on the beach.

Financial Writing: Scam Proof your Internet Sales/Purchases
I recently had someone contact me to purchase some items from my art website. He said he wouldn't use PayPal or a credit card as he had had a previous bad experience because of giving an unknown person this information. His paranoia sounded reasonable enough to me. This problem got me thinking about how one could safely purchase things on-line without exposing all of your credit card information – even to a reputable conduit such as PayPal or other sites like it. You are still required by them to present your credit card or bank account numbers – which makes one feel a bit queasy, given the rapid increase in scams and fraud on the Internet.
Under no circumstances should you accept Cashiers Checks for the purchase of any item on-line. Fraudulent checks may initially be accepted and cleared by your bank. FDIC regulations in fact require it and the criminals know this. You go ahead and complete the transaction thinking all is well. Weeks later you are informed by your bank that the check was a forgery and that you are now liable for the entire amount originally credited to your account. You have then been defrauded of your merchandise and also of cash as you paid for the shipping of the items in question.
I've come up with a good solution for all concerned. Why not get a “Prepaid” credit card from your card company or bank – you pay upfront for the amount you want – say $500.00 – and use this card exclusively for all purchases done on-line. Keeping the pre-paid amount low is additional insurance. You thus compartmentalize the damage that could potentially be done if your card information is compromised. You can “refill” the card as needed. The more I think about it, the more I like this as a secure solution to on-line purchase or sales transactions.
In addition, this solution could also put a cap on how many of those on-line monthly automatic charges we forget that we signed up for. By using a regular open ended credit card, many of which have large credit lines, they have unlimited access for on-going charges each month, usually until your card expires – which in some cases can be as much as 4 years.
The pre-paid card will also work well for those with bad credit or no credit and allow them to rebuild their credit histories over time. The pre-paid credit card also has the added benefit of requiring us to pay, in cash, for things we need. Much better for budgeting and being aware of our spending habits.

DOG TRAINING AND PETSITTING BY AMY NOBLE
OFFERING:
DOG TRAINING
PUPPY TRAINING/SOCIALIZATION
PETSITTING SERVICE
Contact Amy at: amy@weyekins.com
Amy Noble, Dog Trainer, uses positive reinforcement/kindness based training. She doesn't believe in punishment or harsh methods to get results with animals. She loves them too much for that.
AMY'S TRAINING IS BASED ON WOLF PACK THEORY
Amy: “ I have spend a lot of time studying wolves and their pack dynamics. My training methods are grounded in understanding wolf pack dominence hierachy and how that relates to behavior issues. Your dog's behavior is closely linked to it's dominance amongst it's pack (aka - your family ). I help owners understand the reasons for their dogs' actions. This is key in learning how to correct undersirable habits.
I have worked with aggressive dogs and severe behavior issues since 1996. I have a high success rate with difficult dogs. Big dogs and Northern breeds such as Huskys, Malamutes and Akita – no problem. From Chihuahua's to Mastiffs, they are all wolves at heart!
One of the things I love to do is to take an “untrainable” dog and work with it for a better outcome for all concerned – This is so satisfying!”
Contact Amy: amy@weyekins.com
DOG TRAINING
“It's a perfect Spring morning, the ideal time for a walk with your beloved dog, Honey. You smile in pleasurable anticipation as you get Honey's leash. She is pleased and excited as well and shows it with eager little yips and front paws moving up and down. By now, you have her so well trained that she sits at your side waiting for you to attach her leash. You give the command to “Heel” as you both head outside into the glorious morning light. Honey walks by your side in such harmony with you that you barely feel her on the leash. No tugging – no barging ahead or pulling. What a joy!
As you proceed on your walk together, you pass other owners and dogs out enjoying the morning. Some of these dogs aren't behaving well at all. No aggression from Honey towards them – No Way! You feel just a little pride in all your hard work together...”
WOULD YOU RELISH THE SAME EXPERIENCE?
YOU CAN - BY WORKING WITH AMY NOBLE

Amy offers One-on-One Dog and Owner Training
She will take dogs and train them. Regular follow up meetings with owners reinforce learning and keep training fresh.
PUPPY TRAINING AND SOCIALIZATION
A successful partnership with your dog begins with picking the right puppy to match your family's needs and dynamics. After all, your family will become your puppy's “pack”. Amy will visit the breeder/litter with you to figure out your puppy's personality and likely pack hierachy so that a successful match is achieved. No more problems with aggressive Alpha dogs mismatched with humans who cann't cope with them.
Once you picked the right puppy, puppy training and socialization is critical. Dogs are pack animals and being raised without proper socialization can lead to many problems such as aggression towards other dogs and people.
