Websites are gooder enuff…
There's a project I'm ready to start (FunnySaysWhat?). This may be the most enthusiastic I've been about a project (that I'm actually ready to start on). I figured that once I got started, I want to be able to stay focused. Thus, I wanted to ensure I got some things in place for some current projects. Mainly, I needed to have some web-presence for AnthemVirtual and Up In Your Biz! - as well as for my parent company, Applied Prosperity, LC. Well, it's done. Yes, it could be done better. But it's not. Yay! --DC
Simple Keys to Energy & Confidence
I realize what I'm about to say flies in the face of recent societal trends. We can witness daily, men and women across America and around the world who seem to advocate dodging truth, hiding from responsibility. In spite of this (and perhaps even to spite this), I've found the best way to progress AND gain confidence is to MAKE & KEEP PROMISES. It's a simple start, yet I've promised to keep going on both exercising (almost) daily and cleaning one room/day around the home. This keeps me healthy, keeps my wife smiling, AND (because I'm in the act of making and keeping promises) gives me a feeling of confidence that carries over into everything else. As far as confidence in business goes, the first step is to ensure value is being created; that's essential. With that value, the same principle applies: Make and keep promises. However, even when we're creating great value for others, we can have days when we doubt ourselves or our business. This is quite common. I mean, we're out there giving it all we've got and we can find ourselves exhausted; not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. Sometimes, a rest is all I need. Some family play time, reading. I might practice the piano (just starting) or play a mindless game or watch a TV show. Rest is important. What I'm saying here is this: It takes energy to make and keep promises. It can take energy to bolster our own confidence in times of doubt. And, hey: Sometimes the confidence and energy simply do not show back up on Monday morning. When this happens, I find that simply TALKING about a current project - describing it to someone else or asking for the ideas of others - this engages me and renews my own excitement. This might be done with a friend or my wife, Renee (tho not typically on a Monday morning). If the timing isn't right to share with people I know, there are plenty of people on Twitter or Facebook to get into positive conversations with about prosperity. (Thanks, Tweeps. You know who you are). Now, with our energy boosted we can put it into making and keeping promises. With this combination of principles and habits being practiced, self-respect, the respect from others, and prosperity; it all increases. "Have A Nice Dave." :) --Dave C.

Exploring Inner Space
I'm currently exploring something I feel will be HUGE regarding how we use the Internet. (It's much more subtle than whatever you're thinking).
Live within your means: sooner or later, you will anyway
The ability to create exchangeable value from the elements that surround us is my favorite definition of wealth. Most see the bi-product that some acquire (also know as stuff) as a result of the value they've created and think THAT is wealth. So they focus on the stuff. As principles govern, this focus often leads individuals to live beyond their means, which sooner or later compels a person to live within their means; giving them, once again, the opportunity to discover their innate ability to be wealthy. --Dave C.

How to Conduct a Poll Using Gmail
Found (and used this tidbit from labnol.org Yes, No, Maybe? Conduct Opinion Polls Over Email using Gmail In some situations, a poll conducted over email may be more practical than running a web based poll because readers can vote through their email clients without requiring a browser. It’s as simple as replying to any other email and can be done even from mobile phones. Turn Gmail into a Poll Software Let’s see how you can quickly setup an opinion poll over email using only your existing Gmail account. The suggested approach will work best for polls that have a single question as in the following examples: a. Will you buy a Macbook Tablet ? (Yes | No | Maybe). b. Which is your favorite search engine? (Google | Yahoo | Ask | Cuil | Other). ++++ DCsays: I used this just today. If you want to know how to conduct polls or surveys, or simply get Yes, No, or Maybe answers via email, check out the rest of labnol.org's article, here. --Dave C. Image Credits
Stack It!
I'm a big fan of STACKING. Stacking is whenever you're accomplishing multiple objectives thru one task. It's not multi-tasking; that would be trying to accomplish multiple objectives by taking on multiple tasks at one time. Some examples of Stacking: Objectives: Exercise and Time with Family Playing tag or touch-football. Objectives: Reading, Relaxing, Hygene Taking a bath with book in hand. Objectives: Learning, Pooping. Hopefully, this one is obvious. (Yes, take your math tutor to the crapper with you). Some other examples of Stacking that I'm currently practicing: I want to find programs for communicating with my current and future project teams as well as with our company's clients. So, I'm using Google Wave to keep track of my weekly and daily objectives (while branching off with others who use Wave now and then). I'm using ManyMoon.com to schedule the items from my Wave with my calendar. I'm using Tumblr.com to create a group-site for the members of the improv course I attend. Just some simple tips for being more efficient. Okay, gotta wrap this up. My math tutor just arrived.
