APS - Acme People Search

October 29, 2009

3 Comments

I have been paid $3444 in 9 months directly from the APS Program.

I am the 11th most successful marketer in Tissa’s APS program.
9th if you do not count Tissa and his wife Carolyn. This is out of over 787 paid affiliates.

I also make about $560 a month from GDI and the other income streams available in this system.

The way to make money online is by learning how to PROMOTE programs.  Most people fail to realize this - which is why most people FAIL at making money online.

Building Your Internet Team

October 28, 2009

No comments yet

Are you involved in network marketing?

If so, you already understand the most important aspect of building your business is growing your downline team.

Without a doubt, that is true–at least partially. The whole truth is that you must create a downline team that is effective at consistently, over time, growing their sales and building their downline teams too. So, the real question you should be trying to answer is:

“How can I develop a downline team that is constantly motivated
and effective at building their downline teams?”

The answer is creating a dynamic environment where your team learns, collaborates, and shares. An environment that brings together all the resources of your team into one collaborative “think-tank” that evolves and grows organically over time from the shared wisdom of every single one of your teammates.

Right! So how do you go about creating a dynamic team environment that gets the results you need? Well, that’s not so obvious, especially when most teams quickly spread to virtually anywhere in you country or even across the globe. Fortunately, it can be done and as you will discover, “virtually,” it is possible.

Facebook Virus Alert for Password Reset Confirmation Email

October 27, 2009
by Steven
5 Comments

Another new virus is spreading through social networks, this time, via Facebook. This one – known as Bredolab – masks itself as a “Password Reset Confirmation Email,” appears to come from Facebook, and attaches a file that purports to contain a new password.

That file is actually a trojan horse that will download a host of nasty files from the Web and infect your computer with them.

“Bredolab is a Trojan Horse that downloads and executes files from the Internet, such as rogue anti-spyware. To bypass firewalls, it injects its own code into legitimate processes svchost.exe and explorer.exe. Bredolab contains anti-sandbox code (the Trojan might quit itself when an external program investigates its actions).”

by Steven
6 Comments

It has been leaked that Facebook was testing a new homepage design. Screenshots revealed a few interesting changes, such as a decrease in size for the Facebook Publisher box and a new, Friendfeed-like “Top News” filter for the news feed.

Here we have an exclusive inside look into the new home page, engagement ads, and more. Below, we provide a detailed explanation of the new Facebook home page.

Changes to the Home Page

In this four page document, Facebook outlines the benefits of the redesign to advertisers who will clearly be affected. First, Facebook states its goal for the new homepage: “simplifying the user experience on the home page by introducing Top News and Recent Activity streams.”

My Organic Acres

Here is a neat idea that I was presented to me.  I think this is unique enough to be a very big hit!

Own your own Piece of an Organic Acres Farm, Sell most of your produce and get the rest for free.

My Organic Acres is like no garden you’ve ever seen before. You will lease and have access to your own 240 or 120 square foot Organic Garden 24/7 from the comfort of your own living room through the magic of the computer.

You will tell your own personal gardener what favorite products you wish to plant. The only thing you will miss is that pungent compost odor that wafts through your garden.

You will have an expert gardener assigned to till, plant, hoe, and harvest your crops for you. You can then choose to sell all or a portion of your crops in our farmers market, have all or a portion of your crops shipped direct to your house for dinner or give all or a portion of your crops to feed the hungry.

All of this will be handled for you by the expert staff at Organic Acres. All of your crops will use only products certified as organic by the USDA and all of your crops will be guaranteed.

Let me say again you have never seen anything like this!

Organic Acres has created the ultimate way to obtain verifiably organically raised foods for you and your family and have it shipped fresh to your door for a price that you won’t believe.

Think of it this way, if you owned your own organic farm you and your family would eat the best foods for FREE. Because you sold the rest of the crop and covered your expenses.

You can also earn from referring others to the program.

Tell others about this amazing program and you can earn up to $10 every month for every Garden Member you help join and up to  $10 every month for every Garden member they help join!     For 5 levels deep!!

Leadership Quotes

October 8, 2009
by Steven
3 Comments

“To lead people, walk beside them … As for the best leaders, the people do not notice their existence. The next best, the people honor and praise. The next, the people fear; and the next, the people hate … When the best leader’s work is done the people say, ‘We did it ourselves!’”

— Lao-tsu

“Control is not leadership; management is not leadership; leadership is leadership. If you seek to lead, invest at least 50% of your time in leading yourself—your own purpose, ethics, principles, motivation, conduct. Invest at least 20% leading those with authority over you and 15% leading your peers.”

— Dee Hock
Founder and CEO Emeritus, Visa

“All of the great leaders have had one characteristic in common: it was the willingness to confront unequivocally the major anxiety of their people in their time. This, and not much else, is the essence of leadership.”

— John Kenneth Galbraith

“If a rhinoceros were to enter this restaurant now, there is no denying he would have great power here. But I should be the first to rise and assure him that he had no authority whatever.”

— G.K. Chesterton to Alexander Woollcott

“The task of the leader is to get his people from where they are to where they have not been.”

— Henry Kissinger

“No institution can possibly survive if it needs geniuses or supermen to manage it. It must be organized in such a way as to be able to get along under a leadership composed of average human beings.”

— Peter Drucker

“The task of leadership is not to put greatness into humanity, but to elicit it, for the greatness is already there.”

— John Buchan

“Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.”

— Dwight D. Eisenhower

“You do not lead by hitting people over the head — that’s assault, not leadership.”

— Dwight D. Eisenhower

“The best is he who calls men to the best. And those who heed the call are also blessed. But worthless who call not, heed not, but rest.”

— Hesiod
8th Century BC Greek poet

“Never give an order that can’t be obeyed.”

— General Douglas MacArthur

“Leadership must be based on goodwill. Goodwill does not mean posturing and, least of all, pandering to the mob. It means obvious and wholehearted commitment to helping followers. We are tired of leaders we fear, tired of leaders we love, and of tired of leaders who let us take liberties with them. What we need for leaders are men of the heart who are so helpful that they, in effect, do away with the need of their jobs. But leaders like that are never out of a job, never out of followers. Strange as it sounds, great leaders gain authority by giving it away.”

— Admiral James B. Stockdale

“Great leaders are almost always great simplifiers, who can cut through argument, debate, and doubt to offer a solution everybody can understand.”

— General Colin Powell

“I am reminded how hollow the label of leadership sometimes is and how heroic followership can be.”

— Warren Bennis

“Men make history and not the other way around. In periods where there is no leadership, society stands still. Progress occurs when courageous, skillful leaders seize the opportunity to change things for the better.”

— Harry Truman

“Leadership is intentional influence.”

— Michael McKinney

“The leader is one who mobilizes others toward a goal shared by leaders and followers. … Leaders, followers and goals make up the three equally necessary supports for leadership.”

— Gary Wills
Certain Trumpets: The Call of Leaders

“A leader is one who influences a specific group of people to move in a God-given direction.”

— J. Robert Clinton

“All Leadership is influence.”

— John C. Maxwell
Injoy, Inc.

“Now there are five matters to which a general must pay strict heed. The first of these is administration; the second, preparedness; the third, determination; the fourth, prudence; and the fifth, economy.”

— Wu Ch’i (430-381 BC)

“You cannot be a leader, and ask other people to follow you, unless you know how to follow, too.”

— Sam Rayburn

“Your position never gives you the right to command. It only imposes on you the duty of so living your life that others may receive your orders without being humiliated.”

— Dag Hammarskjöld

“The final test of a leader is that he leaves behind him in other men, the conviction and the will to carry on.”

— Walter Lippmann

“A leader is best when people barely know he exists, not so good when people obey and acclaim him, worst when they despise him. But of a good leader, who talks little, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say, ‘We did this ourselves.’”

— Lao-Tse

“People ask the difference between a leader and a boss. The leader leads, and the boss drives.”

— Theodore Roosevelt

“Leadership cannot really be taught. It can only be learned.”

— Harold Geneen

“The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality. The last is to say thank you. In between, the leader is a servant.”

— Max DePree

“Four rules of leadership in a free legislative body:
First, no matter how hard-fought the issue, never get personal. Don’t say or do anything that may come back to haunt you on another issue, another day….
Second, do your homework. You can’t lead without knowing what you’re talking about….
Third, the American legislative process is one of give and take. Use your power as a leader to persuade, not intimidate….
Fourth, be considerate of the needs of your colleagues, even if they’re at the bottom of the totem pole….”

— George Bush
Former President of the United States

“Speak Softly and carry a big stick; you will go far.”

— Theodore Roosevelt

“Management is efficiency in climbing the ladder of success; leadership determines whether the ladder is leaning against the right wall.”

— Stephen R. Covey

“Authority should be seen as a part of leadership, not as a way around it.”

— Michael McKinney

“He who has great power should use it lightly.”

— Seneca

“How do you know you have won? When the energy is coming the other way and when your people are visibly growing individually and as a group.”

— Sir John Harvey-Jones

“He makes a great mistake … who supposes that authority is firmer or better established when it is founded by force than that which is welded by affection.”

— Terence

“The leader must know, must know that he knows, and must be able to make it abundantly clear to those around him that he knows.”

— Clarence Randall

“You don’t lead by pointing and telling people some place to go. You lead by going to that place and making a case.”

— Ken Kesey

“As a leader, you’re probably not doing a good job unless your employees can do a good impression of you when you’re not around.”

— Patrick Lencioni

“Look over your shoulder now and then to be sure someone’s following you.”

— Henry Gilmer

“Leadership is not magnetic personality, that can just as well be a glib tongue. It is not “making friends and influencing people”, that is flattery. Leadership is lifting a person’s vision to higher sights, the raising of a person’s performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations.”

— Peter F. Drucker

“Leadership is the ability to establish standards and manage a creative climate where people are self-motivated toward the mastery of long term constructive goals, in a participatory environment of mutual respect, compatible with personal values.”

— Mike Vance

“The older I get the less I listen to what people say and the more I look at what they do.”

— Andrew Carnegie

“Leadership is not so much about technique and methods as it is about opening the heart. Leadership is about inspiration—of oneself and of others. Great leadership is about human experiences, not processes. Leadership is not a formula or a program, it is a human activity that comes from the heart and considers the hearts of others. It is an attitude, not a routine.”

— Lance Secretan, Industry Week, October 12, 1998

“More than anything else today, followers believe they are part of a system, a process that lacks heart. If there is one thing a leader can do to connect with followers at a human, or better still a spiritual level, it is to become engaged with them fully, to share experiences and emotions, and to set aside the processes of leadership we have learned by rote.”

— Lance Secretan, Industry Week, October 12, 1998

“There is no power on earth that can neutralize the influence of a high, simple, and useful life.”

— Booker T. Washington

“He is greatest whose strength carries up the most hearts by the attraction of his own.”

“Leadership is getting people to work for you when they are not obligated.”

— Fred Smith

“Into the hands of every individual is given a marvelous power for good or evil - the silent, unconscious, unseen influence of his life. This is simply the constant radiation of what man really is, not what he pretends to be.”

— William George Jordan

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”

— Margaret Mead

“My own definition of leadership is this: The capacity and the will to rally men and women to a common purpose and the character which inspires confidence.”

— General Montgomery

“High sentiments always win in the end, The leaders who offer blood, toil, tears and sweat always get more out of their followers than those who offer safety and a good time. When it comes to the pinch, human beings are heroic.”

— George Orwell

“It is no use walking anywhere to preach unless our walking is our preaching.”

— St. Francis of Assisi

“Our chief want is someone who will inspire us to be what we know we could be.”

— Ralph Waldo Emerson

“In the course of history, there comes a time when humanity is called to shift to a new level of consciousness, to reach a higher moral ground. A time when we have to shed our fear and give hope to each other. That time is now.”

— Wangari Maathai

“I think leadership comes from integrity - that you do whatever you ask others to do. I think there are non-obvious ways to lead. Just by providing a good example as a parent, a friend, a neighbor makes it possible for other people to see better ways to do things. Leadership does not need to be a dramatic, fist in the air and trumpets blaring, activity.”

— Scott Berkun

“Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is all about growing others.”

— Jack Welch

“I think that the best training a top manager can be engaged in is management by example. I want to make sure there is no discrepancy between what we say and what we do. If you preach accountability and then promote somebody with bad results, it doesn’t work. I personally believe the best training is management by example. Don’t believe what I say. Believe what I do.”

— Carlos Ghosn, CEO of Renault-Nissan

“When the conduct of men is designed to be influenced, persuasion, kind, unassuming persuasion, should ever be adopted. It is an old and a true maxim, that a “drop of honey catches more flies than a gallon of gall.”

— Abraham Lincoln
February 22, 1842 in Temperance Address

“I strongly believe that the responsibility of leadership is to shape the debate—to practice and project the right attributes—whether in a business enterprise, in our society, and even in our religions.”

— Farooq Kathwari, CEO Ethan Allen

“Leader in its most important sense means being the agent of your own life, influencing the things you care about most in the world to make it a richer life. ”

Phishing and what to do about it

October 6, 2009
by Steven
5 Comments

Got Phish?

Normally, I just delete or ignore Spam and Phishing Emails.
Today, I decided to see if I could report the Phishing attempt.

I sent the phishing email to US-CERT (Computer Emergency Readiness Team). You can check if your country has an CERT.

What is Phishing?

Phishing involves using email and websites that impersonate the email and websites of organizations the target victim already deals with. The goal is to gather information in order to impersonate the target victim while a committing crime.

The phishing email lures target victims to the phishing site which is impersonating a real website that you may use.

At the phishing site, target victims are asked to divulge confidential information such as their account name or number, password, mailing address, credit card number, social security number, mother’s maiden name and so on.

The information obtained may be used to impersonate the victim while committing fraud, identity theft, theft of services, spamming, corporate espionage and other crimes.

1. Conventional phishing involves sending mass amounts of unpersonalized phishing email. The small percentage of phishing email recipients who already deal with the impersonated organization are the target victims.

2. Targeted phishing (”spear-phishing”) involves sending the target victim a personalized email. At the phishing site, the target may be greeted by name.

The inclusion of a few personal details in a targeted phishing email, and on the targeted phishing site, greatly increase the likelihood the target can be lured into divulging additional confidential information.


D. What Can You Do About Phishing? Report it!

Promptly report attempted and suspected phishing. It only takes a minute to report suspected phishing email.

Trained investigators will determine if the email or website is an actual attempt at crime. Merely visiting a phishing website can lead to malware being loaded onto your computer without your permission. Leave the investigation to the experts.

1. Report the suspected phishing email by simply forwarding the email as an attachment.

Forwarding the phishing email as an attachment allows semi-automated processing to eliminate duplicate reports, and it preserves the internal email headers needed to trace back the actual source of the email.

Do not add a subject line or comments; just forward the email as an attachment.

- For Outlook Express: Go to the inbox, right-click on the phishing email in the email selection list and select “Forward as Attachment.”

- For Outlook: Create a new email. Drag and drop the phishing email on the new email.

- Instructions for sending the full header information of an email using other email tools are here Spamcop.net: How do I get my email program to reveal the full, unmodified email? Follow the instructions for “web submission” but instead paste the full unmodified email in a new email.

2. Cut and paste this email address into the TO: box of your email.

phishing-report@us-cert.gov

3. Send the email.

Do you report phishing emails?
