McGroarty&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Getting an email from Mike is like reading a letter from home. His honest, genuine way of speaking is probably one of the biggest reasons for his success (plus hard work). He has a way of writing that makes you feel he's sitting there talking just to you. That's talent.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;In his book &lt;em&gt;Can Any Small Business Make You Rich?&lt;/em&gt; Mike writes about highly effective yet simple strategies for success that you can apply to your business and your life as well. Here is what Mike says:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;“This book contains a wealth of knowledge about how to really make money in business, and at the same time have a quality life and not be completely tied to your business 24 hours a day. My small business is quite profitable, and much to the surprise of most people I do not take incoming telephone calls, I do not accept incoming Email and I rarely have to return a phone call. I seldom see my two part-time employees, and I spend exactly 33 seconds a day in the office. Just long enough to drop an envelope on the desk, look at a few critical numbers that my assistant posts on the wall for me, and I'm gone, before anybody else gets to work.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Most small business owners are like I was when I first started in business. At first you are super energetic and all pumped up about your business, and the enthusiasm for what you are doing is contagious. People do business with you because of your enthusiasm. But eventually you become less and less enthusiastic because you get tired and worn down. Then your enthusiasm wanes. It becomes difficult to get excited about what you do. This book is about taking the most important aspect of your business, the constant marketing of your business, and putting it on autopilot. Creating a system that will bring you a steady flow of new customers. Not just any customers, but the kind of customers you like. Not all customers are the same. Some are more fun to work with, and those are usually the ones that bring in the most profit.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;This book will teach you how to find a steady stream of the exact type of customer that you are looking for, without having to do any personal selling, or without having to add sales staff. This book will also show you how to make the day to day operation of your business less dependent on you, so you can invest your time in discovering and implementing ways to make your business more profitable. It took me 28 years to discover the strategies that you will discover in this book. They are powerful and can forever change the way you think about your business. Wishing you the best of success, -Mike McGroarty”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Michael McGroarty is a generous man. He gives away a lot of really valuable information for free which makes it even easier to be sure that the content of his books will be worth your money and your time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;You’ll see what I mean when you read Mike’s free 8 page report about his methods for making money on the Internet. I know you’ll find at least one nugget of gold in this report!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?Clk=2689165"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;GET THE REPORT!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4170506864829229369-6208861279776364553?l=vickivannoy.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vickivannoy.blogspot.com/feeds/6208861279776364553/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4170506864829229369&amp;postID=6208861279776364553' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4170506864829229369/posts/default/6208861279776364553'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4170506864829229369/posts/default/6208861279776364553'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vickivannoy.blogspot.com/2008/11/can-any-small-business-make-you-rich.html' title='Can Any Small Business Make You Rich?'/><author><name>Vicki Vannoy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16467915711869960661</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IZMJfnkmpRQ/S9-0CabwcvI/AAAAAAAAABk/KU0ZyOuZ26I/S220/Vicki1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IZMJfnkmpRQ/STL2PEQKWyI/AAAAAAAAAA0/d9e9rUMBXbM/s72-c/McGroarty+book.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170506864829229369.post-6505928327300233637</id><published>2008-11-14T18:15:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-05-04T14:46:32.603-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='virtual assistant'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='multiple income streams'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='work from home'/><title type='text'>Hello and Welcome to my blog!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a bitly="BITLY_PROCESSED" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IZMJfnkmpRQ/SRASDiCmIdI/AAAAAAAAAAM/U8TbMnGi72E/s1600-h/fireplace.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264727816282710482" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IZMJfnkmpRQ/SRASDiCmIdI/AAAAAAAAAAM/U8TbMnGi72E/s320/fireplace.jpg" style="float: left; height: 261px; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 260px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Hello, come on in. Glad you stopped by! I'm just getting settled in here, lots of unpacking to do. Those boxes are full of ideas to share and through that doorway is the library. I love books. Do you? Why not sit down in that big armchair over there and visit with me for a while. I was just about to make a pot of coffee . . . .&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;My plan is to have a place where we can talk and share ideas about building success. How would you define success for yourself? For me, beyond the financial and personal goals, it would be all of those things I put under the heading of "having options". I'm talking about being able to afford the freedom to make choices. To choose where I live and work, to set my own hours, to take a vacation when I want to . . . options that are not possible when you have a J.O.B. (Just Over Broke).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;I work from home as a &lt;a bitly="BITLY_PROCESSED" href="http://www.vickivannoy.com/"&gt;virtual assistant&lt;/a&gt; and love it! But I also realize that having just one source of income would be like having all of my eggs in one basket. So, maintaining several revenue streams by working with multiple clients is critical (and challenging). We'll talk more about that in upcoming posts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;Building Outrageous Satisfying Success involves many things and each one of us creates our own unique, success recipe. Look for future posts relevant to virtual assistants and others who want to work from home, active vs. passive income streams, social media marketing, saving money, and other topics. I'll be sharing ideas for books, resources, tools and *freebies* that I hope you'll be able to use in developing your plan for "having options" and building success.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;I have a little blog-warming gift for you!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt; It's a free tool from Microsoft: Instant PDF Creation. Have you ever used a PDF creator to convert a Word document with a clickable URL link into a PDF only to find that the link in the PDF document is not active (not a clickable link)? If you have, then you're going to love this! This &lt;a bitly="BITLY_PROCESSED" href="http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word/HA100649921033.aspx?pid=CH100793971033"&gt;free plug-in&lt;/a&gt; is for users of Office 2007.
