Learning Something New Every Day

Remember when you were young and knew just about everything? How age changes things! It seems that the more I've learned, the more I don't know. This is especially true of politics and computers. As soon as I feel comfortable with a new program on my computer, an updated/alternate/better choice comes along. Social networking is one of those new choices - only it doesn't really feel like a choice. To successfully grow many (most) businesses today, an entrepreneur needs to reach out beyond the physical connections and enter the virtual world.
I'm reminded of the fact that years ago I resented having to get and use email. You know, when a phone call or snail mail did the job just fine, thank you. Funny thing...now I'm helping people organize their email messages and computer desktops! In fact, now it's rather annoying when someone doesn't have email and I'm forced to contact them the "old" way.
One of the best ways to clean up your computer desktop is to create folders for different categories of information, such as Business and Personal. Then, add folders within those categories for specific types of documents. For instance, Business may include folders for Equipment, Marketing, Presentations, and Products, while Personal could include Entertainment, Family, Finances, and Household. Use these folders to store documents and email messages that are being saved for reference purposes.
If you'd like some great tips on managing email, check out our Dare to Be Dynamic! seminar event on Friday, March 19, 2010 in North Oaks, MN.
