Divorce: How To Survive A Divorce And Move On With Your Life

One out of every two marriages in America is failing and
may end in a divorce.

American families are crumbling and vanishing.

Most families have become dysfunctional, and it is widely
becoming fashionable to come from a dysfunctional
family.

Divorce is on the rise all the time.

Your self-esteem - what you think of yourself in relation to
other people - is the basic secret of your success or failure in
life.

Here are some marital insights to help you survive a divorce
and live the rest of your life happily.

It's really as simple as that... think well of yourself, and
you'll do well.

Think disparagingly of yourself, and you'll probably not do
very well at all .

It is natural to have a low self-esteem after going through a
divorce.

In fact, the blow dealt to one's self-esteem by divorce is
lethal and crushing enough to drive anyone to the brink
of insanity.

There may be very justifiable reasons to end a marriage
and get a divorce.

The way I see it, it should be preferable to end a problematic
marriage and get a divorce than to stay and keep suffering,
being abused and endangering one’s life.

This is common sense.

It makes a great sense to end the marriage , seek a
divorce and find a much better partner in life.

Nobody is above making a mistake.

But when you make a mistake in the choice of your life
partner, be reasonable to realize it, end the marriage,
get a divorce and the find another partner and continue with
your life.

There are billions of human beings on earth, and one should
be able to find a compatible partner to continue one’s life.

When a marriage ends in divorce, one should have a good
attitude about it.

But this is not always easy for most spouses.

They tend to continue to remain attached to their ex-partners.

They continue to agonize over the break-up and blame
each other for the failure of the marriage and the divorce.

They are filled with anger, self-loathing, regrets, anxiety and
frustration due to the failed marriage and divorce.

They continue to let the memories about the failed marriage
And divorce linger on.

After a divorce, the correct attitude will be to consider the
marriage dead and let go of all feelings regarding it and move
on with ones’s life.

It may take sometime for you to go through the necessary healing
that has to take place after a divorce before you are able to
recognize and enjoy happiness again.

Even so, the most important and the very first thing you must do
following the break-up of any kind of relationship, and a divorce
is to get started on the rebuilding of your self-esteem.

This means that you have to accept the fact that neither you or
anyone else is perfect - determine that you will learn from your
mistakes - and that you will become whatever it is you aspire to
be.

Immediately, do something that makes you feel good - something
you've been wanted to do for some time - or always wanted to
do.

This could be getting a new hair-do, buying a new suit,
enrolling in a special self-improvement course, starting a
new job or business, or even taking an extended vacation.

You may also relocate and move to another city.

This is one way of leaving all memories of the failed
marriage and divorce behind.

You must not lock yourself in your house or apartment and
keep brooding over the failed marriage and divorce.

You must not be afraid to get out and associate with people.

You must not stop enjoying life!

You may have to force yourself, but you must "forget" about
mourning your loss and continue with your life.

You must go on with your life with a stronger determination
than ever, to be the person you want to be.

Don't "beat yourself over the head" with feelings of guilt
about the divorce.

Get rid of your anger about the divorce as quickly as possible.

Forget about the past. Focus on the present and the future.

Get on with the rest of your life without delay!

Revitalize those ambitions that have been "hidden away" in the
back of your mind, and consider this particular time in your
life as an opportunity for a new start.

Do some introspection relative to what it is you want out of life;
reorganize your time and efforts to attain those objectives; and
go for it with all you've got!

The way you feel about yourself has a strong reflection on the
way you feel about others.

When things are not quite right, the first thing that
needs to be changed is your disposition - your attitude,
feelings towards other people, and your emotional responses.

Think about your facial expressions and the tone of your voice
when you're talking with other people.

Being aware of these things with consideration towards other
people, will "bring you out of your-self" and allow other people
to want to know more about you.

You have to forget about and let go of, the divorce and your past.

Anything and everything that happened yesterday is long gone
and cannot be changed.

You have the rest of your life from this moment on, to
achieve love - happiness - fame and fortune.

Whatever it is you want in life can be yours.

All that's necessary to make any dream come true is a true
understanding of what you want, and determination on your
part to make it all happen according to your plan.

Think about what you want -prepare yourself to get it –
focus your efforts on the fulfillment of your ambitions –
and there's nothing that can stop you from total realization!

If you’re a man, after divorce, desist from condemning
all the women as devils.

Just because your marriage didn’t work out with one woman
doesn’t mean that all women are evil.

If you’re a woman, after your divorce, don’t conclude that
all men are evil.

Just because your marriage didn’t work out with one man
doesn’t mean that all men are evil.

It is also not a good reason to become a lesbian!

There are billions of men in the world.

If it doesn’t work with one man, it may work with another,
so go for it.

And if you have children from the marriage, desist from poisoning
their minds with hate for their father or mother.

So, the first thing relative to rebuilding one's self-esteem -
following a divorce, or the loss of a loved one by any
circumstances - is to understand why you hurt, and what is
necessary in order to be happy again.

It is essential that you think of YOURSELF in terms of the kind
of life you want for yourself; know that you can have it all
because you've laid the foundation, done your homework,
and you're on a positive road towards achievement; and then
get busy "making tracks" in that direction.

In simple terms - it hurts, but you're not dead - you're only
wasting time thinking about or rehashing the past because
there's no way anything that happened yesterday or the day
before can be changed - so quickly pick up the pieces, and get
on with your life!

May these insights about life after divorce help you to find a
new meaning in life and to move on and prosper and be
happy for the rest of your life.

Online Shopping: 10 Tips For Safe Online Shopping

Online Shopping: 10 Tips To Help You do Online Shopping Safely

Have you ever bought a product or service from the internet?

Yes? Me too. You’re not alone…

Some of the reasons why most people are shopping online are: they can buy anything at anytime because Internet shopping is available 24 hours, all the time.

You can shop from the convenience of your home. You can avoid traffic and crowding at the malls.

Online shopping is one of the best ways to locate hard-to-find items not available in your local stores.

Whatever you buy can be delivered by mail to your house.

Most online stores and companies provide excellent values and discount prices because they do not have to pay the overhead of owning a physical business that will cost them insurance, employee pay, taxes and more.

VeriSign, Inc. says that online sales recorded during the prime holidays shopping season was about $2.2 billion dollars.

According to a study by Forrester Research Company, by 2010, online sales will reach $331 billion dollars.

More consumers are shopping online today than a year ago. The range of products they buy are many: software, hardware, electronics, digital products, music, toys, e-books, books, programs, DVD, flowers, pets, jewelry, clothes, plane tickets, insurance, cars, prescription drugs, comic books, games, gifts and more.

They are flocking to buy from online bookstores, software stores, online computer stores, target stores, pet stores, liquor stores, drug stores, music stores, furniture stores, fabric stores, the Disney store, outlet stores, surplus stores, discount stores, thrift stores, gift stores, candy stores, lingerie stores, sports stores, video stores, sex stores, department stores, game stores, clothing stores and others.

Be a smart and savvy online shopper. Shop wisely and safely.

Here are a few tips to help you do your online shopping safely.

(1) Shop at the websites of companies that you know and are popular offline.

If you’re not sure of the company, request their catalog or brochure first.

Be sure they have a physical address and phone, as well as an e-mail address. Call them and speak to a human being first.

Check with the yellow pages and the Better Business Bureaus to be sure the company is legitimate.

Read all the fine print and the refund policy before you place an order.

You may read about product reviews and what other shoppers have to say about a company at:
http://www.epinions.com/, http://www.consumersearch.com/ , http://www.productopia.com/, http://www.deja.com/

Here are some internet shopping agents’ sites:
http://www.comparenet.com/ , http://vo.infospace.com/ , http://bottomdollar.com/

To read about reviews on shopping stores, regarding ease of use, pricing, selection and service go to:
http://www.gomez.com/, http://www.bizrate.com/ , http://www.ratingwonders.com/

To read about web business frauds and get help to avoid being a victim, go to:
http://www.fraud.org/ , http://www.bbbonline.org/ , http://www.webassured.com/

For a list of popular online shopping stores see the bottom of this report.

(2) Keep a record of all your purchases.

Most people are by nature disorganized and unable to keep records. Learn to keep records of all your online purchases. This will help you keep track of your spending and shopping.

Print all receipts or save them on your computer in a folder named “receipts”.

This will help you locate orders that you placed but were never delivered.

The more organized you are the less negative online shopping experience you’ll have.

(3) Keep all your important personal information safe.

Don’t give them to strangers who may call you over the phone or request them by e-mail.

Personal information includes: your address, e-mail address, phone number, social security number, drivers license, age, information about your family.

Don’t give them to any stranger and, also, teach your children not to do so.

(4) Keep your passwords private.

When creating a password, avoid using phone numbers, birth dates or social security numbers.

Be creative. Use a password that is not easy for others to guess, and yet not easy for you to forget.

Change your passwords often. Use phrases to help you remember them.

Don’t disclose passwords to anyone.

(5) Use a credit (but never debit) card to make your payment.

Be sure to keep all credit card payment receipts. Check your credit card account statements to be able to spot any unauthorized charges.

When you buy certain goods and services from some companies, sometimes they will keep billing you thereafter. So scrutinize your statements. If you see a charge you’re not sure of, call the billing merchant and check it out.

Keep your credit cards secure.

Avoid making a payment using your credit card on a public computer.

Report any lost credit cards immediately and have them cancelled. Don’t give anyone that you don’t know your credit card number.


(6) Read the return policy before placing an order.

Be sure that you read and understand the return policy and warranty.

(7) Read and understand the company’s privacy statement (or policy).

A privacy statement tells you how and why a business is collecting your information, and how that information may be used.

You may find the company’s privacy statement (or policy) at the very bottom of the home page or inside their "Terms & Conditions" or "Terms of Service" (TOS).

(8) Use a secure browser and server.

Be sure whatever browser you’re using complies with the industry’s security standards, such as secure sockets layer (SSL). This security protocol scrambles or encrypts the personal information you send over the Internet to ensure your transaction is secured.

How do you know if the server is secure where you’re making a payment?

If a Web site is using secure technology, its Web address begins with https and a tiny locked padlock appears at the bottom right corner of the screen.

(9) Check out a few stores and compare prices before buying.

Look for hidden costs such as shipping and handling.

(10) Use Yahoo Search Engine for all your searches.

Yahoo continues to be, not only the largest online company, but also, the best Search Engine.

Unlike the other popular Search engine, which keeps companies in a sandbox for many months and refuses to give them rankings for many months, Yahoo is pro business and gives immediate rankings to companies and business.

Their search result is also excellent. That may be one reason why 60% of the people online (including me) love Yahoo.

Also, they have the most reliable and the best hosting service in the world.

For these reasons, I strongly recommend that you use Yahoo Search to do all your searches.

Happy and safe online shopping.

Warmly,

I-key Benney , CEO

10 Effective, Smart Tips To Reduce Your Business Costs


Are you stressed by your online business expenses?

If yes, may I offer you 10 effective ways to reduce your cost of doing
business online.

1. Barter
If you have a business you should be bartering goods
and services with other businesses. You should try to
trade for something before you buy it. Barter deals
usually require little or no money.

2. Network
Try networking your business with other businesses.
You could trade leads or mailing lists. This will cut
down on your marketing and advertising costs. You
may also try bartering goods and services with them.

3. Wholesale/Bulk
You'll save money buying your business supplies in
bulk quantities. You could get a membership at a
wholesale warehouse or buy them through a mail
order wholesaler. Buy the supplies you are always
running out of.

4. Free Stuff
You should try visiting the thousands of freebie sites
on the internet before buying your business supplies.
You can find free software, graphics, backgrounds,
online business services etc.

5. Borrow/Rent
Have you ever purchased business equipment you
only needed for a small period of time? You could
have just borrowed the equipment from someone
else or rented the equipment from a "rent-all" store.

6. Online/Offline Auctions
You can find lower prices on business supplies and
equipment at online and offline auctions. I'm not
saying all the time, but before you go pay retail for
these items try bidding on them first.

7. Plan Ahead
Make a list of business supplies or equipment you'll
need in the future. Keep an eye out for stores that
have big sales. Purchase the supplies when they go
on sale before you need them.

8. Used Stuff
If your business equipment and supplies don't need
to be new, buy them used. You can find used items
at yard and garage sales, used stores, used stuff
for sale message boards and newsgroups etc.

9. Negotiate
You should always try negotiate a lower price for
any business equipment or supplies. It doesn't hurt
to try. Pretend you are talking to a salesman at a car
lot.

10. Search
You can always be searching for new suppliers for
your business supplies and equipment. Look for
suppliers with lower prices and better quality. Don't
just be satisfied with a few.

10 Blazing Internet Marketing Secrets To Sky-Rocket
Your Profits

Hello, do you have a website and sell something on the internet?

If yes, may I offer you 10 blazing ways to sky-rocket your profits
at your website!


1. Use a "P.S." at the end of your ad copy. This
is were you either want to repeat a strong benefit
or use a strong close like a free bonus.

2. Publish a free ebook and give it away from your
website or in your e-zine. This will increase your
traffic, sales and e-zine subscribers.

3. Create multiple streams of income with your web
site. You could sell your own products, join affiliate
programs, sell advertising space, etc.

4. Give your visitors compliments in your ad copy.
This can earn their trust and put them in a good
mood, in return they will be easier to sell too.

5. Create new products or services only if there is
a strong need for them. You won't have anyone to
sell them to if you don't have a market.

6. Sell your backend products to your customers
right after they order. Take them to a "Thank You"
web page that includes other products you sell.

7. Sell a few products on your website instead of
selling a large amount of products. To many choices
can overwhelm your visitors and they won't buy.

8. Include content and free stuff on your website
that promote the products you're selling. If they
don't read your ads, they may read your offerings.

9. Remind your visitors that you're human not just
a website. You could publish information on your
family life, a picture of yourself , a profile, etc.

10. Provide a "Contact Page" on your website.
Give your visitors as many options to contact you
as possible. This'll add credibility to your business.
