Hi, Thank you for using this forum.
I'm Dennis S. Vogel.
Sometimes you may find SPAM & SCAM
messages here. I check this forum regularly, but some
low-lifes still get their stuff on here.
I suggest for you not to get involved with this garbage.
Please post your ideas, questions &/or answers.
You can click on "Archives 1, 2, 3"
to read archived posts.
This option is at the right margin above the forum title.
If you want to search for a topic in this forum, you can
use the search link. It's just above the forum title.
By working together, we'll all thrive.
Money isn't the foundation of power. Using the right
knowledge, in the right ways, is the foundation of power.
When you have the right knowledge, you can ethically draw
money to yourself.
By sharing your knowledge & insights with us (your fellow
small business owners), you'll set an example for others to
follow. This way they'll share with you too.
A lot of the knowledge we share & advice we give applies to a
variety of businesses. Please don't ignore posts about business
categories you're not interested in.
We won't be picky about defining a small business, if you think yours
is a small business, please join us.
This forum was originally started with a service that closed. In the
archives, you'll find many messages with the same posting date. I brought
these messages with me when I started here with Voyager Info-Systems.
If you prefer, you can send your post to me at thrivingbusiness@email.com.
I'll put it on with the advice or information I can find. I'll omit
your email address if you want me to, so you don't get spammed.
We're all voyagers searching for the best route to success. Let's team up
& find it together!
Please include a signature file at the end of your posts, even if your sig
file promotes something. If it's too long, I may end up trimming it.
This is only promotion allowed on this forum!
In other words, if you ask a legitimate question or share valuable
information with us, you're entitled to have a promotional sig file.
Please check my posts for an example.
