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.
