  Things President Reagan said that make sense to me

  One of the magazines I subsribe to is called Success. One of the sections I enjoy most is the "Profiles in Greatness". In the August 2011 issue they profiled Ronald Regan. Whether you liked him or did not, I think he had some valuable things to say.

  One that really hits a cord with me today is "Government is not the solution to our problems; government is the problem." I think this is where the "occupy" movement is off base, they are still looking to "government" for solutions.

  Another Regan quote is "We in the government should learn to look at our country through the eyes of the entrepreneur, seeing possibilities where others see only problems."

  I feel this is so true today, and I think that is why the Occupy movement is floundering... What do you think?

  Been a Biznik for awhile but never submitted an intro...

  Hi Everyone! I'm Harmony Coburn, founder of Coburn Enterprises (a small web design and search engine marketing company that loves working with Truly Small Businesses).

  I joined Biznik in 2010 but have only recently started participating in a more active way ... and I am so happy I have!

  For years I have envisioned being able to attend networking events where I didn't meet 20 cosmetic MLM reps, 55 Real Estate and Insurance agents and no other truly small business owners - or as so fondly titled here "solopreneurs". I'm not saying that MLMs, Real Estate Agents and Insurance Agents don't work their butts off - but I can only choose one and I network to meet a larger variety of business people that know what it's like to be the one that wears all of the company hats.

  Here at Biznik I have already met some incredible people! The article Occupy Biznik (great article Rags) allowed me to interact with some super intellegent people that I don't always agree with but have great respect for. I strongly recommend participating in these online conversations if you have interest!

  Looking forward to meeting more of you in the near future.

  Harmony

  Wordpress E-Commerce

  Hi Bob, thanks for the email update re: woocommerce.

  Since I create my own themes I prefer this plugin for ecommerce: http://tribulant.com/plugins/view/10/wordpress-shopping-cart-plugin.

  It is not free but it is very well supported and comprehensive. I have been doing ecommerce sites for 8 years and needed something that allowed for real time USPS integration, Authorize.net PayPal and PayPal Pro among other things. I used to use Joomla! / virtuemart but it is so much less user friendly for the website owner.

  Now that we have this plugin from Tribulant I am migrating my clients away from Joomla/VM into a wordpress solution and they love it!
