I don’t even own a home phone. My cell phone is my life! When my cell dies, I feel completely shut off from the world. I get a panicky feeling knowing that I’m unreachable for a temporary amount of time. I can’t really remember what life was like before I had a cell phone- and I’m not that old!
It was a really great read- check it out…

Sales with Integrity
A good friend of mine, Anne, is trying to run an accessory business for women and children, specializing in trendy headbands.
Anne was in the beginning stages of getting started and was unsure of how to actually sell her products and where to start. She came to me last week and asked for some advice because I’ve had sales experience in the past. It was perfect timing as LearnKey had just released their Sales with Integrity course! I told her about it and why I thought it would help her- not only to better understand the sales process, but how she can implement that into her accessory business. She took me up on the offer and watched the course.

CompTIA Certification Renewal Policy
CompTIA has a new certification renewal policy taking place January 1, 2011 and is applicable to all individuals who earn CompTIA A+, CompTIA Network+ and/or CompTIA Security+ certifications.
Basically this means that as of January 1, 2011, CompTIA A+, CompTIA Network+ and CompTIA Security+ certifications are valid for three years from the date the candidate becomes certified. A “valid through” date will appear on all certificates and certificate holder CompTIA ID cards. If however, you are certified on or before December 31, 2010 in CompTIA A+, CompTIA Network+ and CompTIA Security+ , your certificates will retain their “certified for life” status and no valid through date will appear on certificates and certificate holder CompTIA ID cards.
