| Article Title :: Joining Industry Specific Organizations Has Many Benefits |
| |
| Recently, while providing an up-and-coming Virtual Assistant (VA) and small business owner with some start-up information, she asked me a very interesting question, “Why do you and other VA’s join organizations?”I guess I take for granted the reasons why I belong to several industry specific organizations. But, to those that are new to any industry, joining an organization made up of your competitors is a valid concern.Some organizations have members that are from a variety of walks of life (i.e. small business organizations, etc.) while others are more specified and include only members from a specific industry (i.e. VA organizations).I think the consensus amon (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Politics, Religion, Race; Conversational No-No's in Business |
| |
| Do not destroy all your positive displacement and high energy and customer confidence by discussing politics in your small business. Remember not every one in the world is as smart as you are or sees as much dealing with all these different types of customers in so many different professions each day. Therefore they may have incorrect political views and disagree with you. You do not have time to change everyone’s mind nor should you bother trying. Since we have a two party political system and it is pretty much split down the middle, you have a 50% chance of pissing someone off when talking about politics in an office building. The owner may be Republican but the people overhearing th (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Business Networking - Extroverted Web Weaving for the Introvert |
| |
| If you have been in business for any amount of time, you go to networking
events. Did your body just seize up? Was there a swelling of nervousness in your gut? Are you about ready to stop reading? I encourage you to stay with me about networking. Let me ask: what’s the difference between someone who asks you at a picnic or at church, “Who do you know who …?” versus the reality that this is the same question being asked by everyone at a formal networking event? The difference is likely that phrase "networking event!"Estimates are that we each know about 200 to 250 people. In this group of
people, this sphere or circle of influence, business happens informally and formal (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Conquering the FEAR of Networking |
| |
| One of the main reasons connecting with new people at a ‘networking function’ is so tough for so many is FEAR. We are at times paralyzed by internal questions:What will people think when I walk across a room and approach them to start a conversation? Will they think I am stupid, boring, pushy? How’s my breath?It can be intimidating to approach someone and start a conversation. Ralph Waldo Emerson knew the way around this universal fear, but most of all he knew the way through it: “Do the thing you fear and the death of fear is certain.”Progress Agents (TM) committed to cracking the networking code get all the butterflies in their stomach to fly in format (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Router - Denial Of Service Attacks |
| |
| Routers are not perfect. For that matter, nothing is. So if somebody wants to give a router more than it can handle there is a way to do this. We're going to take a look at what are called denial of service attacks.
A router can only handle so much information coming into it at one time. Every machine has its limits and routers are no exceptions. Well, when the nasty trend of denial of service attacks started early this century, routers were unprepared for them. As they began to understand what was happening they began to compensate for the problem. But there was still a way around it. To understand this we first have to understand what a denial of service attack is.
