… and it’s FREE!!!!!!!!!!!

After having downloaded multiple pieces of junk software, spending countless minutes trying to find a way to get my non-iTunes-purchased track onto my iPhone successfully, I finally came across iRinger. It downloaded FAST, was VIRUS-FREE, and WORKED LIKE A GEM! I loved it so much I wanted to share it with you

Not only will iRinger create free ringtones for your iPhone (and iPhone 3G, 3GS) from virtually any music or video file you own (Even YouTube videos!), but it will also export ringtones to iTunes, so there is no need to “jailbreak” your iPhone. You will be creating ringtones in seconds. Three Easy Steps: Import, Preview then Export. Done. It’s that simple.

Enjoy!

PS - Wondering what I went to such lengths to upload? 24 fans will appreciate and understand!!!

“If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, “thank you,” that would suffice.” ~ Meister Eckhart

Yahooey! I love Thanksgiving Week, spending time with family and friends and expressing my gratitude for everything around me. Of course, the fast pace of life and its demands can make it all too easy to forget to give thanks each and every day. Thanksgiving season serves as a lovely reminder that if I just pause to think, I’ll always have cause to thank, and therefore smile.

Every day is a new day. When you wake up each morning, how do you feel? Are you excited… anxious… worried…? Whether we are experiencing hardships or whether things are going fantastic, there’s always a reason to be grateful. So why not wake up each morning with a sense of victory? Know that you are big enough and capable enough to handle whatever challenges that will come your way. Anticipate obstacles. Welcome them with open arms. If you do this, there will be no such thing as “bad news.” Instead, all news will always ultimately be good news.

Thomas Edison used to say that his deafness was his greatest blessing – a blessing because it saved him from having to listen to reasons why things couldn’t be done.

Count and give thanks for your blessings every day. If you are grateful, your positive mind will be one that naturally anticipates happiness, joy, health and success, as well as rise to any occasion. Whatever the mind expects, it finds.

Happy Thanksgiving.

I love this post from Perry Marshall. Enjoy!

Entrepreneurs and our insatiable GREED

Have you ever….

* Tapped a line of credit or 2nd mortgage so you could give your employees their paycheck?
* Paid off all your vendors and creditors, even though it meant canceling a long-awaited vacation?
* Heard about someone in need and helped them out, even though you knew you would eventually end up borrowing the money – you didn’t have it but you gave anyway because it was the right thing to do?

With that in mind….

…When’s the last time you turned on CNN and heard an encouraging story about business owners doing good in the world?

When’s the last time you heard somebody in the media or education system say, “We need to build up entrepreneurs, because new businesses are foundation of our communities” ?

For all those who assume us money-grubbing entrepreneurs are driven by greed, selfishness and ego, let me share with you the results of a study by the Center for Data Analysis and the Heritage Foundation:

Charitable Giving by Household Income, based on IRS data:

Income Class         Entrepreneurs      Non-Entrepreneurs
$65,480+                          3.23%                         2.42%

$37,381-$65,480              3.47%                          1.84%

$21,661-$37,380              3.29%                         1.14%

$10,661-$21,660             2.25%                          0.74%

$0-$10,660                     1.55%                          0.35%

Average                       2.53%                          1.27%

Looks like entrepreneurs are TWICE as generous as everyone else. ESPECIALLY the ones with low incomes.

Why is that? What’s going on here?

It’s real simple. Most people only understand scarcity.

Entrepreneurs understand abundance.

My experience of entrepreneurs is we overwhelmingly tend to take care of everybody else before we worry about ourselves.

My friend, if you tapped every resource to pay everyone fairly, and you went to bed not knowing how tomorrow’s bills were going to get paid, then at least you had faith in the goodness of providence and the power of imagination and resourcefulness to find a solution.

THIS is why people in the modern world have three meals a day and microwave ovens and beds to sleep in and health care and straight teeth and computers and movies and modern music.

Because… somebody had faith in the power of ingenuity. They dreamed and schemed and innovated and gave until it hurt. Believing that somehow, somewhere, success would show up when it was most needed.

None of us can ever predict when or how solution to some vexing problem will present itself. We just have faith that it will.

I don’t know what problem you face today, but I know that one of two things is true:

1) Someone somewhere has already solved it, or
2) The ability to solve it WILL be given to you

Most of all I want to salute you in pursuing a journey that most people never even have the courage to undertake.

When you find the success you seek, you deserve it.

The talking heads on TV may not appreciate us. But we appreciate each other. And I appreciate you.

Seize the Day.

So you need to change the file extension of your text document to say, php. It sounds so simple, doesn’t it? Just hit rename and on the end of the filename, replace .txt with .php. Voila, right? Um…. But you can’t see the .txt part. Where is it?!?

Well, it’s hidden. Here’s how to make them and ALL other file extensions reappear in Windows XP.

Go to My Computer on your Desktop.

Go to Tools > Folder Options > View Tab.

Scroll down the list until you see “Hide extensions for known file types”

Uncheck this box.

Click on Apply and close out of the window.

And there you have it. It’s a good thing, too. Having hidden file extensions for known file types on your computer poses as a security risk because it can trick users into believing that that potentially harmful executable file [.EXE] is actually a picture of one of your friends [.JPG]. By disabling hidden file extensions, that “picture1.jpg” will appear as “picture1.jpg.exe“.

If you didn’t happen to catch last night’s episode of Celebrity Apprentice, you missed some seriously ugly reality-show moments as Melissa (and mom, Joan) Rivers reacted to Trump’s latest firing. Check it out:

“Nothing gives one person so much advantage over another as to remain always cool and unruffled under all circumstances.”
~ Thomas Jefferson

In the game of The Apprentice and in the game of life, poise comes through maturity. When we get it, and can keep it under pressure, we will have a decided advantage over others. John C. Maxwell once wrote that panicking or acting out usually has a negative effect on a situation, but remaining calm and cool enables us to think and act more intelligently. The Rivers duo clearly let the best of their emotions get to them.

Melissa’s firing should come as no surprise, however, as she plainly declared what her fate was going to be well before the boardroom scene. Let’s go back to scenes from the task:

She is proof that what you say about comes about. She speaks about what isn’t, as if it were. And, as you know from the ending, she continues to act as if and goes until that which she spoke about became reality!

Her “woe is me” banter and circumstance-blaming got her exactly what she deserved. There is no such thing as circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want. And if they can’t find them, they make them.

Melissa: Stop playing victim. Stop proclaiming entitlement. Stop seeking to be rescued. Stop blaming.

Bottom line? Get out of your own way.
