  • Best email and database compatible software for mail labels??

    Greetings!

    Is there an email software/program where you can make mail labels from the contact list?

    Are any email programs best compatible with File Maker Pro for merging contacts and making mail labels?

    Right now my client has to enter data twice...once in Entourage and once in FileMaker Pro. Time consuming and painstaking. Looking for a better option.

    Thank you for your input!

    Blessings,

  • Chat with Women radio show Interviewing Women CEO's!

    Chat with Women is a great radio show on 1150AM, 8am daily. They are all about supporting women, and the men who love them. They have all kinds of fun, provide lots of great information about everything, interview lots of people, etc. Once or twice a year, they host chat parties, in connection with our own, Melody of The CRAVE Company.

    They are beginning an interview series on Women CEOs. On January 30th, I will be their Featured CEO!! It's like having coffee and chit chat. 30 minutes of radio air time with 2 fabulous ladies, airing to an audience of 60,000 radio and 1 million internet!! jaw drops

    Pam and Rochelle welcome women CEOs to write in to info@chatwithwomen.com and introduce yourselves for interviewing. Tell them you found out here from me - they have interviewed Dan and Lara before so they know all about Biznik! I told them I'd do a post here :)

    How did I land this?
    The power of networking. I've talked with them before, met them in person at the NW Women's Show and recently introduced my client, Pole for the Soul, to them. That led to their invitation to me for January 30th.

    Put yourself out there. Introduce people to people, keep people updated with what you are doing and you NEVER know, some day, things that knock your socks off happen!

    Biznik has taught me the art of networking and provided the platform to do it best! WOOT WOOT!

  • How to Repeat Event Posting for Multiple Dates?

    Currently, I am copying and pasting information from one event to the next for each new date of GMM but then i have to also individually select the dates, venue, etc.

    Is there a way to post multiple dates at once or change only the date in creating a new event?

    Lisa told me she hits backspace and just changes the date but all I ended up with was a blank event page when I did that. Maybe I misunderstood her.

    HELP!

  • Please get OFFSITE Data Backup - SO Important!

    Some of us don't do a lot of computer document work but for those of us who have anything admin, portfolio, client, accounting, etc. related, you NEED offsite data backup. Not just the CD's you burn or your external hard drive, but an OFFSITE service.

    Let me tell you why...

    Because sometimes, s*** happens. Friday was just that day for me. My hard drive crashed and it crashed hard. All my portfolio images, articles, client information, personal files....all not accessible.

    THANK GOD/DESS I have my external data backup service with Bill Fulton of Third Hatch. For a wee $10/month, his service AUTOMATICALLY backs up my info on a daily basis.

    Friday, Bill was my business Knight in Shining Armour. He completely SAVED ME. I've been a data backup customer of his for almost a year now, with no need for the backed up files. Until Friday.

    Bill took care of everything within less than 24 hours, restoring my data and everything is back and happy now in the EcoKind world.

    I rest easy knowing that not only do i have a data backup system but: I DO NOTHING to make it happen except leave the computer on at that chosen time. Pay a measly $10/month for the service.

    Seriously folks, you can't afford NOT to have this. If your S*** ever hits the fan with your computer, or your in-house backup gets burned up or stolen, you will be SO happy that you invested 2 lattes worth of money per month for this peace of mind.

    You will be kicking yourself painfully if you don't and down the road, this happens, or worse, to you.

  • What Bank should I Switch to?

    Hi!

    I am currently with Wells Fargo. My checking is free. When I have savings, C and S are only free if you do an auto transfer each month.

    I am reemed with business account fees each month and even though I'm a longtime credit card holder with them, in good standing, they won't drop my 20% interest rate.

    Where can I go that: 1) Is low to no fee, including business accounts 2) Isn't shutting down due to the crazy financial world now 3) Has a low fixed rate credit card 4) Is small business person friendly?

    I am considering BECU or another credit union type since it is locally supporting.

    Thank you so much. This is a long time coming!

  • Tagline feedback pretty please!

    Hey b-nikers!

    I'm about to print a new round of biz cards and playing with my new tag line.

    Empower. Empassion. Enliven. Your space. Your life!

    I have other ideas that include "launching pad"... Your space. Your launching pad. Your life!

    Something with "so you can live your best life" is so overused.

    An equation of some sort might be neat too. Simple yet effective. Any suggestions?

    I do love to do love nests...but "The Love Nest Specialist" sounds kinda funny and maybe gives the wrong message. heh.

    I COULD just nix the tagline from this round but I so love to distinguish myself from just any decorator.

    Any helpful ideas? Got to send this to print! Thank you!

  • Haddad Holds Out on Us (AKA Haddad Art in Bellevue)

    So our own Chris Haddad does art too, apparently! I just found this as I was exploring the Sculpted Green event that is happening in Bellevue and I couldn't resist the temptation to pimp, I mean, share what I found...(heehee)

    http://www.bellevuewa.gov/Haddad_Stalk_8.htm

    Artist's Statement: My work attempts to transform something familiar into that which is unfamiliar, to engage our memories by revealing something abstract, energized and elegant from that which we have known. The structure of my work’s evolution has been a sequence of series; this piece is part of the “Stalks” series. The “stalks” were conceived of as abstractions of figurative forms, organic shapes and primitive tools. They are scaled to the height of human proportion to engage us spatially. "Stalk #8" continues my interest in the dynamics of form that are simultaneously organic and mechanical. The tension between the organic and mechanical is not only energizing for me, but also very human.

    Congrats Chris! Nice work :)
