| Article Title :: Who Are You? - Protecting Yourself From Identity Theft |
| |
| In the movie “The Net,” Sandra Bullock played the role of a victim of identity theft. In fact, she was basically erased from the community. Another woman consumed her identity, taking with it everything Sandra Bullock’s character had - including her bank accounts, license and social security number, and even her home.

| Article Title :: Brainstorming Your Way To Riches! |
| |
| A great deal has been written about the group thinking concept. Members all participate in solving problems, coming up with new ideas or dreaming up new products. (Many heads are better than one?)
They discuss the product, idea, or problem with each person throwing out their thoughts on the subject regardless of how ridiculous it may seem. This is supposed to generate a vast pool of knowledge, including the answer to what the group is trying to find.
Each idea is written down by one of the group and eventually the puzzle is supposed to fall in place and the solution found.
Another method is for you to do your own private brainstorming, using a tape recorder. Wh (read full article) |

don’t try. This may apply to you. You want to, but never
seem to do it. You put it off for whatever reason.You want to wait for your life to be just right before you

job, when I receive the next promotion, or when I get my
next raise, I’ll go to work on my debt.Perhaps you are waiting for some artificially set date. You
tell yourself the first of the year will be a good time to start
or when you get back from vacation. Whenever it is, it is
always in the future.I call this “perfect situation procrastinating.”. This allows

| Article Title :: Local Real Estate Agents May Provide More Relevant Homes For Sale Data Than National Sites |
| |
| Marietta, GA, (November 3, 2004) – According to the National Association of Realtors, 70% of all home buyers search the internet for home listings at some point. While most people choose national sites such as Realtor.com to view listings on the internet, many of these people may not realize that it can take several days for new listings to appear. Additionally, once the home is under contract or sold, it may take several more days before the listing is actually removed. This often leads to a sense of frustration for home buyers.Many local real estate agents solve this problem by pulling information on homes for sale directly from their Multiple Listing Services (MLS) and updatin (read full article) |
