Chasing Your Dreams With A New Focus

Chasing Your Dreams With A New Focus   By: Sandi Krakowski My body hurt. I'd done my time, the body fat was below 4% and the workouts had paid off. No carbs had entered my body for more than 10 days and the lack of water had created the final 'sharp edge' I needed. Walking on stage that day, in the Mount Pleasant Body Building Championship, I knew that my dreams had come true. Overcoming every mind game and trick, forcing my body beyond it's own emotions and feelings, it had obeyed and gone beyond all of my expectations. My tan, lean and ripped body became my trophy and I'd earn a huge one at the end of the day. Ribbons placed around my neck for the best arms, most ripped abs and biggest [...]

Why You Don’t Want To Be On The First Page Of Google

Why You Don't Want To Be On The First Page Of Google    When you build a business online the most important thing you should be doing every single day is building your list.

The Legal Side Of Copywriting, Marketing, Email Marketing and More

The Legal Side Of Writing (AND Teaching) For Your BusinessBy: Sandi Krakowski When I began my first business it was important to understand trademarked names, phrases and logos. We had over 400 kitchenware products we were drop shipping and while most vendors and dealers gave us unlimited permission to use the graphics and images in our online and printed catalog, some required that we only use 2-3 images at the most.

Limited use is the phrase for only permitting someone to use images and descriptions in a limited way.  Many times I used the phrase, "The Art Of Bread Rising" in my marketing and was advised several times to have this trademarked or copyrighted.

  Will This Work? Jumping In With Both Feet As A New Business OwnerBy: Sandi Krakowski When we start a new business so many questions can run through our mind. Things like: "Will this work?""Is this something I can make money on?""Should I be doing this?".....are just a small sampling of the common questions that can plague the new business owner. Imagine if you will, that there is a coach who knows everything. They can just look at an idea and know if it will fly. Let's say there is such a coach who anyone can bring their their business plans to. This person is able to tell others, "Yes that will work and be very profitable" or "No that's a failing idea and that won't work at all." Such a coach, if there was one, would dominate the marketplace and be the [...]
