    Choosing the Wrong School Can Kill Your Career
    With the advent of the Internet, the degree mill industry has exploded onto the scene. In the old days of fake schools, there was a real monetary investment required, but now you can throw up a website with a shopping cart and you are in business. These degree mills, schools with no educational standards, are growing exponentially. Getting a degree from one of these supposed schools can kill your career.There are ways, though, to di

    The Go Zone and Great Investing Opportunities
    The gulf coast was pounded two years ago with Hurricanes Katrina and Rita respectively. Many people lost their homes and everything they owned in those homes. The damage was so bad that the President declared areas hit hardest by the storm as Disaster Areas. Because of this declaration and the complete devastation in some areas of the storm, there are now opportunities for some people to invest in commercial real estate and benefit greatly
    As my wife and I prepare for the birth of our second child, my one-track mind has wandered to the similarities and differences between a child and a website. That may seem a little out there, but bear with me as we take a look.

    First, let's look at the similarities between a child and a website.

    Change the diaper often

    Just like with a baby, you can't let the crap build up. You'll need to watch a number of things. Make sure that your front page doesn't get cluttered. Likely you'll have some section begin growing in ways you didn't anticipate. As soon as you notice it, start planning for the section to be bigger. It's a lot easier to make changes needed early on than it is to make them later.

    If your website is already up and running, check your site right now.. If the front page or any other section is cluttered, make a quick list of five things you think could help improve it. Out of those five things, pick the one that would give you the most bang for your time spent. Sometime within the next 24 hours, get that item on the list done.

    Middle of the night feedings

    If you're anything like I am, there will times you make some major change to the site. That night, you'll lie awake in bed wondering if what you did is going to break, if people will like the change or if anyone will even notice it. Rather than lie awake all night, get up and check on it. Take five or ten minutes to see how it's going. Most likely it will be fine, and you can go back to bed and not worry.

    How To Make An Excellent Investment In Your Web Site Design
    A lot of online entrepreneurs are under the impression that they have to do everything themselves and be everything to anybody. They want to do it all. The want to be the inventor, the creator, the author, the accountant, the graphic designer, the web designer, the copywriter, the tech guy, etc. This is very inefficient.Do only the things that you do well and then you pay someone else to do the things you aren't good at or tak

    Google: Our All-Powerful, Uncontrollable Partner

    Not everyone thinks your website is cute

    While hopefully every will complement your baby, not everyone will do so with your website. There will be constructive criticism, but there will also be haters. People emailing or calling you to tell you that your website is the worst they've ever seen. Don't let it stress you out.

    Try making a list of all the criticisms you get, whether you think right then they're valid or not. Email the person back (or just talk to them) and tell them you appreciate the feedback and will keep it mind while you look at updating the website. Then set the list aside. A week or more later, take it back out and take a look at the list. It may be that some points are valid, it may be that some are not. It will be much easier to evaluate when the stinging criticism isn't fresh on your mind.

    The website can survive without you

    While you should make updates, your website can survive without you. Take a break! Especially when your website is first launched. At that point, it's likely that you've spent over a month preparing and agonizing over the website. There's certainly stress as the launch date approaches. Once the website is up and going, take a week or two off. It will help your stress level go down fairly quickly.

    And this advice isn't just limited to when your website first launches. I suggest taking a break after every major update,
