A WORD OR TWO FROM ME
by Richard M.J. Jarosz
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes this issue's quote is by me. In my line of work I'm always asking
prospects and clients where they want to take their businesses. The answer is always the
same. "To make more money but if my business grows so will my workload." So my
next question to them is "If business is slow and income is down. What exactly are
you spending your time on?" That is where the conversation usually ends. They would
rather spend the time complaining about how bad business and the economy are instead of
doing something, anything about. For you college grads, "A body at rest will remain
at rest unless an external force is applied to it." Thank you Sir Isaac Newton! Makes
sense in Physics, exercising and even business! So if anyone is inclined to so something
in the New Year about themselves or their business we at Lone Keep Internet are having a
Dream Board session. It will be New Year's Eve at our offices in Asbury Park. Click
here to find out more about our Dream Board session.
Until the New Year!

Township of Ocean Historical Museum - NJ was the mariner's nightmare arguably the
deadliest coast in the world. It is said that if all the ships wrecked along its expanse
were laid end to end, the string of sunken hulls would stretch from Sandy Hook to Cape
May. A deadly combination of shallow and shifting shoals, strong in-shore currents, heavy
ship traffic, North Atlantic storms, and primitive navigational and weather forecasting
tools together made the Jersey coast the "graveyard of the Atlantic."

From: Stephi Branch Baumgartner
Kiva is an organization that makes loans to people in "underprivileged" areas
throughout the world (including the US). Applicants ask for a loan amount, then loans are
then backed by lenders like you and me, in minimum $25 increments. This helps increase
their ability to raise their standard of living. Check out www.Kiva.org
for more info. I like that it's a helping hand, rather than a hand-out.
