    My Dumbest Marketing Blunder And How You Can Avoid It
    When I started submitting Ezine articles, I never realized their true power. I was just happy to see the articles being published.I expected to get some traffic and hopefully some sales. I would have laughed if you told me those early words would still be floating around the web over five years later.Well, smack me on the wrist and call me shorty, they are. You would think that's a good thing and it is except... That's the operative word, "except." The little critters are still multiplying around the web like rabbits in heat, but there is a little problem. Actually, the problem isn't so little.This darn probl

    5 Ways to Improve Your Software Design
    What exactly is software design? What constitutes as software? When does the design stage start, when does it end? These are all pertinent questions to ask when considering what software design is. How you think about software design is undoubtedly going to affect how you approach software development and ultimately the product produced at the end.Design is one of those sketchy areas where everybody agrees on the idea but not necessarily the form it comes in. After all, there are plenty of different design and development models around. At some stage or another somebody has questioned the current model to give rise to a ne
    Many couples first met on the job, are involved in family businesses, or find themselves considering working together on something they both love. One of the basics behind success in such ventures is whether they can make it past the hurdle of competing with each other.

    First, some personal history. Probably due to very similar personalities, my wife, Pam, and I have almost always been involved in some such joint venture. After marriage we became the volunteer caretakers at a church camp. Then we jointly enrolled in seminary. We were co-pastors for four years. I always like to say that our marriage "survived" those years.

    Back then we didn't have the maturity to know what true cooperation and intimacy was. Whatever she could do I felt I had to do just as well or better. Whatever decision she made I would need to add my critique to. The "shop-talk" at home rarely was put aside. You can imagine what happened to the romance in our marriage!

    We got smart at that point and took separate jobs and began separate training in our clinical disciplines. Then the opportunity to work together came around again. For the last ten years we've co-directed the Samaritan Counseling & Education Center in Colorado Springs, CO.

    At first, I was worried the same old competition would occur. What a pleasant surprise to find that some level of maturity had set in! It was now clear to me that my wife is the perfect "out front" person with true qualities for group organization and leadership.

    A Bad Credit Home Equity Loan Can Help You Take Control Of Your Finances
    A bad credit home equity loan can help you get the cash you need if you are a homeowner struggling with a derogatory credit history. Most people experience overwhelming circumstances at some point in their life which can lead to financial problems and a poor credit rating. The good news is you can turn your situation around. If you have a high monthly debt load then a poor credit home equity loan can be your opportunity to take control of your finances by consolidating your high interest debt into one low manageable monthly payment. Bad credit home equity loans can also be used to make home improvements or to just get cash-out

    Negative Energy - How To Avoid It
    Where does negative energy come from? Some of it is from the other people we spend time with. Don't we all know people who just suck away our energy? However, it also comes from our own thinking habits. Here are some examples of both sources of negativity and what you can do about them.Negative Energy PeoplePerhaps you have a friend who needs to challenge everything you say.

    Home Loans -- The Hot New Product? The 30-year, Fixed-rate Mortgage
    In recent years, the mortgage industry has introduced dozens of new types of loans. The needs of every borrower are different, so the mortgage companies have tried to come up with an answer for every problem. They’ve introduced 40-year mortgages, promoted 15-year mortgages, and introduced the wildest array of variable-rate mortgages imaginable. There are mortgages that have interest rates that adjust every few months, every few years, or just once. A recently popular product that thrives on the East and West coasts is the interest-only mortgage, which reduces payments by not requiring payment on the loan’s principal for the f

    I was just fine being the "behind-the-scenes" clinician that sat in my office hour after hour seeing clients. She provided the flash and dazzle, while I was the steady presence cranking out therapy and caring for the staff. In other words, we each knew our respective strengths and were emotionally adjusted to being who we were. A few years had made a lot of difference!

    And what about now, ten years later? We're still running the Center, but we also have our own developing businesses on the side. I, of course, have this newsletter, and Pam always proof reads it for me (along with editorial comment!), and she has an equine therapy and education business that I support with many hands-on hours of harnessing horses, moving them from place to place, along with feeding and watering duties.

    Competition Vs. Emotional Intimacy

    Business together can be a wonderfully unifying couple activity. This is why multi-level-marketing companies always want to make the business a family affair. However, the whole enterprise can founder on the rock of competition.

    Competition is fine in its place, such as with business competitors or on the sporting field. But it will kill the emotional intimacy between two lovers. Competition sets up a "win-lose" paradigm. Someone must lose in order for someone to win.

    Emotional Intimacy requires vulnerability. If we are vulnerable, it is safe to share ourselve
