Funny story to start your Monday morning…  My 14 year old just recently admitted something to me.  He told me that when we get a 1-800 number call into the house (or sometimes other area codes he doesn't recognize) he has assumed that the caller is a telemarketer, and that he has been experimenting with different ways to answer the phone.  So he started this new 'hobby' by answering "Domino's Pizza, what can I get for you?"  When that got boring, he tried singing the Lionel Richie classic "Hello… is it me your looking for?"  And most recently, he has taken delight in waiting until the other person starts to talk and then says "Shh shh shh… let me talk now…" When he is silent after that, the other person again tries to talk and my son then says "Shh shh shh… we don't need words"  (in his best soft and sexy 14 year old voice).  Finally the caller hangs up.  Now I had no idea he was doing this, and I have to admit that I find it rather amusing… but just incase any of you have tried to call my house and gotten my son… I must apologize.  But if you are looking for ways to dissuade telemarketers, it seems to be a great strategy!

It's been a while since I've given you a business & marketing audio… so here is your instalment.  In this audio, I am talking about time management.  Something that we all need to master in order to accomplish more in work and life! 

Today's blog contains a couple of thoughts and pieces of advise from members 1) in regards to a product and 2) in relation to last week's blog.

A handful of you have e-mailed expressing that you've had some issues logging into to the site or watching the videos.  This has only just begun since the site was 'secured'… (how handy!).

I am admittedly a book junkie.  I go in spurts…and boy oh boy, I just splurged and recently bought myself 3 physical books, 2 kindle books, and two audio books.  Now I just need to find the time to read!  (Listening in my car is easiest… I wish all books came in audio format!)
