Gun Control by Harold Blithe
My opinion is probably not a popular one in light of all the
school shootings, but it is mine nonetheless. Understand I
am not against gun control in this country; but I do believe
that we have a constitutional right to bear arms.
What I don't understand is why everyone is willing to jump on
the "outlaw guns" bandwagon. I look at it this way... when it
was about drugs, the common belief was to get rid of or
incarcerate the users of the drugs and then control drug
trafficking. Why are guns so different. Isn't it the folks that are
using the guns that we have to worry about?
I want to be able to defend my family if need be. I will be
responsible if my weapon is used unlawfully. I do have a
license to own a gun. I have not been convicted of any felony.
I am willing to go through a waiting period and a background
check. Just don't leave me helpless.

4. Basic Marketing Skills
------------------------------------------------------------
This article also appeared on the June 22 front cover of
InternetDay Magazine.
-
I constantly see a problem for homebased business
entrepreneurs — and that mistake is basic marketing skills.
I will only address one problem in this article, but will talk
about more in the future.
-
The first basic skill we will discuss is establishing your
"mindset" for basic marketing. Because of the thousands of
"wizards" and "no work" marketing programs out there —
people starting their business normally lack the knowledge of
how to market products because all of this has been done for
them (unsuccessfully.) These beginners start their career as
"robots" without any idea of how to sell their products and
then wonder why they never sell anything.
-
So let's take a simple example that everyone can identify
with:
-
Suppose you wanted to sell your old car in order to buy
another one. What would be the first step you would take?
Normally it would be to call the local newspaper and place an
ad. But what would you say in your ad? Would you say
something like: "Green car I absolutely love is for sale." Of
course not!! You would say something like "1988 Ford Escort,
102,000 miles, fair condition, $800."
-
What did you just do? You provided precise information
about the year and make of the car, the mileage, the
condition and the price. That's proper marketing.
-
Many beginning entrepreneurs normally try and sell a variety
of products because they want to make money desperately.
This makes it hard to concentrate on selling one specific
product. But you can have your cake and eat it too. Just make
sure you have ONE major product line, and you can add other
products that are associated with it. That way — you can
market your products and services to a specific market and
describe it in specific terms.
-
Let's go back to the sample classified ad for selling your
automobile one moment. What if your ad said "Green car I
absolutely love is for sale plus I knit baby booties, trade
stocks and bonds and do yard work for fun." Does this tell
anybody anything? Absolutely not! It confuses people and
they will pass your ad by. You will never sell your car this
way — just like you will not sell your products and services
by marketing in the same manner.

------------------------------------------------------------
A drunk calls the police and says,
"They stole my dashboard,
they stole my steering wheel,
they stole my brake pedal,
they even stole my gas pedal..."
Then, before the cops can ask where he is, he says,
"Hey, never mind,
I'm in the back seat."
