The Friday Review – On Saturday

A day late – but here goes….

The good:

Oh, I had lots of good this week – which is why I’m late posting this.

I had a great webinar with Janelle Elms from OSI Rockstars – we discussed getting accepted into the eBay Partner Network so you can start earning a nice passive income.

The replay will be up in the membership area shortly. You can see it by joining the site – it’s Free. Just look up there to the right, on this page to sign up.

I started tutoring a new client this week. Very interesting couple. They have one of the largest collections of yearbooks in the USA. After session I was treated to a tour. I got to see yearbooks signed by Madonna (wow, she was a wild thing even back when – LOL) – Elvis Presley High school Photo board, Judy Garland’s diploma and graduation photo which hung on her wall while she was living, one of the only known copies of Harry Truman’s high school yearbook, Barack Obama high school photos and more… I was very late getting home – but what an amazing library.

Friday I attended a SHOW ME, Don’t Just Tell Me W/PowerPoint event hosted by Julie Hutton. Julie is an area success coach.
It was a wonderful event where I meet artists, coaches, counselors and more.

If you don’t belong to a local networking group I highly recommend it. I found this through biznik.com – a online site that focuses on “business networking that doesn’t suck.”

If you don’t have the luxury of an online service to connect with others locally, there’s always your local chamber of commerce. Remember, no one succeeds in business by themselves. It’s important to meet others, that you can help and that can help you grow your business.

The bad:

I bought a flat of Primroses earlier this week and still haven’t had time to put them into pots. I can hardly wait till spring and know seeing their flowers will cheer me up until the bulbs and blooms start in late March/early April.

The really frustrating:

I got no where with eBay VeRO. The company that filed a claim against me won’t respond to my emails. As many of you may have read I decided to be proactive and setup an “about me” page to protect my copyrights and help prevent continued harassment. Well, after submitting it to the eBay VeRO team I was told that they don’t accept you into the VeRO program until someone violates your copyright……. say what… the Keystone Cops seem to help no one …. it must be just as frustrating to the copyright owner as it is to the rest of us.

This has to be one of the greatest examples of poor customer service I’ve experienced in ages.

Anyway – please keep adding your VeRO stories to the post below. If eBay keeps getting ‘pinged’ about it, maybe someone at corporate will take notice.
