ARE YOU STILL LOOKING FOR A "GENUINE" OPPORTUNITY?

Two superb new business opportunities are being launched next month. They are the websites of SAJobs and SAAds, which will both offer potential profits of R100 000 pm on a capital outlay of just R125 000.

What makes these opportunities even more appealing is that they are part-time businesses which can be run from home. They require absolutely no technical skills or special software. If you know how to look at a website on a computer, then you have all the technical expertise that you need. Inject your own enthusiasm and you are ready to roll.

Presentations will be held around the Country over the next few weeks. For full information go to www.safindit.co.za/presentation or send an email to info@safindit.co.za

Sales Tip #4 of 99: How do I attain, achieve and maintain a positive attitude?
Everyone thinks they have a positive attitude, but they don't. Usually not even close. They don't understand the essence of “attitude.” It's not a feeling; it's a state of mind that is self-induced. You are in complete control of it. You determine what your attitude is.

Sales Tip #5 of 99: How can I Improve my humour?
Not every one can be a funny person, however, there are certain things that one can do to improve their humour.

Sales Tip Number #6 of 99: How can I improve my creativity?
There are two authors whose books you should be reading to improve your creativity. They are Edward de Bono and Michael Michalko. The first book you should read is Michalko's Thinkertoys – the easiest and most practical book on creativity ever written. Then progress to de Bono's Six Thinking Hats .

Writing might not be your forte, but there are ways of improving your writing skills and becoming a stronger writer.
