Sam
As Always - you have posted a forum where people have to think..... I Love it! I posted this somewhere before... but it is worth another post...... a Quote from Henry Ford
"thinking is hard work, which probably why so few people engage in the activity"
You cause Thought Sam.... and everyone that posts in your threads are a delight to my heart and mind.... I have from the start, seeked out forums where "substance" is printed...... and also some good brainless fun (as I call it) where we can let ourselves go a little and get a laugh, or be a little silly.
When selecting forums - I suggest this forum guideline! Select a forum or two in each of these catagories.
1- thought provoking ideas
2- forum for business growth
3- forum for personal growth
4- forum for silly fun
5- forum for spiritual thought/growth
6- topics of your interest
Then comes the cruncher - this is the hardest part... since most of us are here for the purpose of building a business, we have to remember to keep up on the "work" necessary to make our online business grow.
I suggest the 80/20 rule.
Spend 80% of your time doing things that will lead to effective use of your time for your main purpose here..... and 20% for pleasure.
That would mean some of your time in forums for fun.... is actually developing relationships and getting to know others... which is part of business relationship building... but it is TOUGH to know when it becomes an escape from business duties.....LOL
Keep up the GREAT work Sam.... I'm very happy to call you "friend"..... and I can say that about all who post in your forums too...... because they are ALL people who are seeking to make a difference..... and they all have made a difference in my life.... thank you all!
