"The new system provides both the quality of transmission and the modularity of features required for imaging, presentation, and signage applications, while keeping costs in line with copper based applications."  Dr. Freddie Lin, added: "The marketplace has been searching for a universal solution that converges both the broadcast high definition video and computer RGB video worlds as present in applications for the Digital Signage, Digital Cinema, and Presentation Markets." Developed by BCI to provide the highest possible quality multimedia transport, ScreenLink? offers uncompressed transmission of RGB and all sync types, such as external HV, composite and "Sync on Green", as well as the unique ability to pass tri-level sync as provided by HDTV specifications.  In addition, transmission of high quality stereo audio is provided along with Ethernet for IP based system control and monitoring.  This system is designed to work seamlessly with high-resolution display devices, such as plasma monitors, LCD monitors, or projectors.Broadata Communications, Inc. (BCI) develops, manufactures and markets leading edge fiber optic, multimedia communication products.  The company's patented products include audio, video and data delivery over optical fiber for advanced multimedia, broadcast, and network transmission applications.  BCI's multimedia platforms enable end-users to implement multiple applications, conventionally requiring multiple optical transceivers and fiber links, over a unified platform needing only a single optical link.

		<description><![CDATA[Liposuction is one of the most popular quick fixes forweight loss in the country. Rather than spend the effort ittakes to change your lifestyle and adopt healthy exerciseand dieting practices you can simply hire a plastic surgeonto vacuum stubborn fat deposits away. The first thing youshould consider before having the operation is whether ornot you can maintain your new body so that you don't haveto repeat the ordeal again!Liposuction can be performed on any area of the body thatneeds to lose weight including the upper arms, thighs,buttocks and belly. Liposuction can even be performed onthe calves to give a female a more fetching looking legs.There are also few factors to consider before giving yourplastic surgeon the go ahead for the procedure. First ofall don't have any illusions that liposuction will get ridof dimpled or rippled looking skin. If you had this typeof orange peel look to your skin before the procedure,chances are that you will still have it after as well.Also keep in mind that if too much fat is lost your skincould sag in an unattractive way. You might have to havesome of the flesh snipped away and sewn up again if youwant your skin to appear taut and firm.Don't count on your liposuction procedure be an outpatientsurgery. Depending on how much fat you are having suckedout your operation may require a hospital stay and generalanesthesia. You may also require what is called "tumescentanesthesia" which involves injecting and suctioning acombination of plasma and anesthesia to minimize the amountof bruising and pain.To lessen the discomfort and length of the entire ordealyou might want to ask your plastic surgeon if he or sheperforms Ultrasonic assisted liposuction. This is a two-step procedure that utilizes energy from sound waves toliquefy the fat deposits before they are sucked out of thebody. First the doctor inserts a heated probe beneath theskin that causes the fat cells to burst and release theircontents. The resulting buttery substance is then removedfrom the body. One drawback of this procedure is that itcan burn the skin and possibly cause more pain if your bodytissue has resisted in any way to the procedure.Ultrasonic assisted liposuction (UAL) is a two-steptechnique that uses the energy from sound waves to liquefyfat deposits before they are suctioned. A small heatedprobe is inserted. This causes the fat cells to rupture,releasing their oily contents. The oily contents are thensuctioned out. Advantages to this method include theability to remove fat in difficult areas such as the upperabdomen, the back, and the male chest. Disadvantagesinclude the possibility of more pain, swelling, skin burns,and other complications. Before you get liposuction you also need to consider thatthe length of time that it can take an individual torecover from liposuction really does vary from person toperson. The average recovery rate is about three days, butmake sure that you have time off from your work for atleast ten days in case you do not heal quickly or sufferdisorienting effects from the potent pain medications thatare often given to treat post-operative pain.. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[According to the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), sales of consumer electronics (CE) goods such as computers, LCDs, flat panel TVs and digital cameras and camcorders are estimated to total over $100 billion this year. The estimate represents a 5% increase over 2003 expenditures, which reached approximately $96.3 billion. As consumers continue to purchase expensive CE products, particularly during the holiday season, many fail to take the proper steps to protect their investments for the long run. This holiday season, Falcon Safety Products is offering a wide variety of inexpensive "stocking stuffer" type products that could add years to the lives of those expensive CE gifts. "The consumer electronics market has experienced such incredible growth, as advanced technology has gone from being out of reach to being expensive but attainable," said Ken Newman, Product Manager of Computer and Office Brands for Falcon. "Over the past few years, prices of items such as plasma and LCD screens have come down and both, along with other popular consumer electronics, are becoming the gifts of choice for the holiday season. It is important that the consumers who have made such costly investments, are aware of how to properly maintain and protect their equipment," concluded Newman.Display electronics, especially over the past few years with the introduction of plasma and LCD televisions, have seen tremendous growth. Sales of plasma TVs for 2003 were nearly $1.5 billion, up from $515 million in 2002, while sales of LCD screens for 2003 totaled approximately $651 million, up from $246 million in 2002. Continuing in that trend, the Consumer Electronics Association projected significantly higher sales for 2004, with plasma displays expected to generate $2.2 billion in sales and LCD screen sales to break the $1 billion mark.For a cost-effective and reliable solution, consumers can turn to Falcon Safety Products and its Dust-Off? brand of consumer/personal electronics cleaning products. Dust-Off? comprises an extensive line of cleaning products, including compressed-gas dusters, assorted cleaning wipes and a microfiber Screen Shammy, that together, provide the tools necessary for the effective preventative maintenance of any consumer electronics platform.As the holiday season is right around the corner, the products in the Dust-Off line are the essential stocking-stuffers for the consumer electronics enthusiast. The Dust-Off Screen Shammy microcloth is the ideal solution for safely cleaning smudges, lint and dust from delicate plasma and LCD screens. Made from a suede-like microfiber material, the Screen Shammy can be washed over and over again for hundreds of uses. The Dust-Off Compressed-Gas Duster is also the essential accessory to accompany any CE purchase. The compressed-gas duster effectively blasts dust from any unwanted surface, especially from cooling vents, that quickly become clogged and corroded with dust and lint, which consequently can shorten the life of expensive electronic equipment as the proper airflow needed to cool down internal components is cut-off.Founded in 1953, Falcon Safety Products, Inc. is a privately held corporation headquartered in Central New Jersey. A world leader in compressed-gas technology, Falcon manufactures a diverse line of products including the Dust-Off? brand of computer / personal electronics cleaning products and signal horns for the marine, sport and safety markets.

		<description><![CDATA[Ergotron, Inc., the experts in display mounting solutions,  today introduced Constant Force?(CF) lift and pivot technology and announced CF will be included in all new products going forward. CF? uses a low-cost and reliable conventional spring that converts the spring's linear force curve into a flat, constant force, throughout the entire range of lifting or pivoting motion. This force conversion means that users exert very little effort to adjust their display, and they experience a quiet fluidity to the motion, which was previously unattainable at any cost from any manufacturer."This patented technology is the culmination of many years of intense engineering development and understanding our customers' and the markets' needs," says Harry Sweere, Ergotron's Chairman and Chief Scientist.  "The breakthrough design of CF leapfrogs over conventional gas spring technology commonly used today, at a fraction of the cost.  CF based products eliminate the complexities our customers face when they are confronted with weight/height adjustability challenges."  The CF design also provides weight adjustability which is accomplished by varying the nominal spring force. The adjustment can be made in the field at the time of purchase, or during the installation process at home or at the office.  The weight adjustment process is so easy, young children can perform the task.   Additionally, existing flat panel users can leverage their investment in displays by easily upgrading their existing mounts to CF's more flexible desk stand or arm designs.  CF's weight/height adjustability is also a benefit to channel partners and design-in customers who no longer need to carry a complex and wide-ranging quantity of inventory to meet end-user's requirements.  One CF product model covers a wide range of LCD or plasma monitors, eliminating excessive inventory carrying costs.  "Today we are bombarded with visual information from displays and computer interfaces in our homes, stores, restaurants, hotels, airports, banks and vehicles. Ergotron's family of CF embedded products will make it very easy for everyone, from children to adults of all sizes, to access and use the information displayed," said Joel Hazzard, President of Ergotron. "CF will be critical to home theatres, office and school furniture, warehouse and distribution centers, factory floors, and the transportation and healthcare industry." The CF based products ensure a viewer can easily adjust display screens to the appropriate location and height, optimized for personal comfort and ergonomic health.The recently introduced Neo-Flex? LCD Stand and StyleView? cart are available now. The next product incorporating CF, the Ergotron LX? Desk Mount Arm, will be available in January.  Over the next six months, Ergotron will be launching a complete new series of height adjustable Arms, Wall Mount products for LCD's and Plasma displays, Multi-Monitor Stands, and 20-inch, Height Adjustable Large LCD and Plasma TV Stands and Carts. Product samples incorporating CF will be displayed at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The Ergotron booth is number IP615 in the Innovations Plus area of the convention. About Ergotron, Inc. Ergotron is in the process of completing the merger with its sister company, Constant Force Technology, LLC.  The merger is expected to be completed by January 1, 2005.  The combined company offers a wide range of mounting solutions for LCD and plasma displays, laptops, desktop, handheld PCs, and other digital monitors.  From sit/stand mobile carts to wall, ceiling or floor-mount solutions, Ergotron's products target the home and office market, healthcare and pharmaceutical, manufacturing, finance, government, point-of-sale, kiosk and entertainment environments. Each Ergotron product uses space efficiently and provides the finest ergonomically adjustable access, wherever a digital display is required.  Ergotron ? comfort within reach.StyleView is available in various configurations through the worldwide Ergotron distributor and dealer network. The Neo-Flex desk stand is available through distributors, dealers, and at leading retailers.

		<description><![CDATA[Your car has an early detection system and so does your body. Take 3 minutes to read this article and learn how you can save yourself a life time of aches, pains, and costly medical bills. Have you ever had the "Check Engine" warning light come on in your car? Most newer cars have a system that monitors the performance of your car. If something is not working properly, the "Check Engine" light usually comes on. The good news is that this "pre-warning" system can help you avoid costly damage, which may be occurring with your vehicle, by detecting small problems before they become big problems. However, the only way to be certain is to have your car inspected by an expert mechanic when the "Check Engine" light comes on. Did you know that your body has a "pre-warning" system? With many diseases, your body will start producing symptoms such as aches, pains, fatigue, frequent thirst, and so on. These symptoms are your body's "Check Engine" light, warning you about problems. However, with diabetes, pre-warning signs don't always show up so easily. The medical community is calling it:  "Pre-Diabetes". Today, roughly 41 million Americans have pre-diabetes which left undetected and untreated, progresses into full-blown diabetes. The challenge with pre-diabetes is the fact that the condition doesn't like to reveal itself with noticeable symptoms. Because there are few, if any symptoms, most people will not bother having screening tests performed. With pre-diabetes, noticeable symptoms like frequent thirst and urination may not occur until the disease has progressed and is already causing considerable damage to your body. Most Type 2 diabetics don't have symptoms because the onset of diabetes is so slow. Don't wait for your "Check Engine" light to come on. Have your blood tested. Call your doctor today and make the appointment. The goal with identifying pre-diabetes is to prevent the onset of diabetes from ever happening. Your physician can determine if you have pre-diabetes with two common tests. The fasting plasma glucose test (FPG) and the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Both require an overnight fast. The good news is that you can greatly improve your odds and likely prevent diabetes with early detection and proper care. Don't wait 'til it hurts. Ask your doctor about diabetes and have your blood sugar checked several times a year.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<P>Your car has an early detection system and so does your body. Take 3 minutes to read this article and learn how you can save yourself a life time of aches, pains, and costly medical bills. Have you ever had the "Check Engine" warning light come on in your car? Most newer cars have a system that monitors the performance of your car. If something is not working properly, the "Check Engine" light usually comes on. The good news is that this "pre-warning" system can help you avoid costly damage, which may be occurring with your vehicle, by detecting small problems before they become big problems. </P><P>However, the only way to be certain is to have your car inspected by an expert mechanic when the "Check Engine" light comes on. Did you know that your body has a "pre-warning" system? With many diseases, your body will start producing symptoms such as aches, pains, fatigue, frequent thirst, and so on. These symptoms are your body's "Check Engine" light, warning you about problems. However, with diabetes, pre-warning signs don't always show up so easily. The medical community is calling it:  "Pre-Diabetes". </P><P>Today, roughly 41 million Americans have pre-diabetes which left undetected and untreated, progresses into full-blown diabetes. The challenge with pre-diabetes is the fact that the condition doesn't like to reveal itself with noticeable symptoms. Because there are few, if any symptoms, most people will not bother having screening tests performed. With pre-diabetes, noticeable symptoms like frequent thirst and urination may not occur until the disease has progressed and is already causing considerable damage to your body. Most Type 2 diabetics don't have symptoms because the onset of diabetes is so slow. </P><P>Don't wait for your "Check Engine" light to come on. Have your blood tested. Call your doctor today and make the appointment. The goal with identifying pre-diabetes is to prevent the onset of diabetes from ever happening. Your physician can determine if you have pre-diabetes with two common tests. </P><P>The fasting plasma glucose test (FPG) and the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Both require an overnight fast. The good news is that you can greatly improve your odds and likely prevent diabetes with early detection and proper care. Don't wait 'til it hurts. Ask your doctor about diabetes and have your blood sugar checked several times a year. </P><P>For more information about diabetes, including a Diabetes Quiz and a Free booklet, visit our website at: <a href="http://hope4diabetes.com/info">http://hope4diabetes.com/info</a>This 20 page FREE booklet will provide you with in-depth information on comprehensive diabetes care.

		<description><![CDATA[Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease characterized by relative or absolute deficiency of insulin, resulting in glucose intolerance. It occurs in 4-5 million persons in the United States (approximately 2% of the population). The classic symptoms of diabetes mellitus result from abnormal glucose metabolism. The lack of insulin activity results in failure of transfer of glucose from the plasma into the cells. This situation so called "starvation in the midst of plenty". The body responds as if it were in the fasting state, with stimulation of glucogenolysis, gluconeogenesis and lipolysis producing ketone bodies.The glucose absorbed during a meal is not metabolized at the normal rate and therefore accumulates in the blood (hyperglycemia) to be excreted in the urine (glycosuria). Glucose in the urine causes osmotic diuresis, leading to increase urine production (polyuria). Stimulation of protein breakdown to provide amino acids for gluconeogenesis results in muscle wasting and weight loss. These classic symptoms occur only in patients with severe insulin deficiency, most commonly in type I diabetes. Many patients with type II diabetes do not have these symptoms and present with one of the complications of diabetes.Generally, there are two types of diabetes: Type I Diabetes Mellitus (insulin- dependent diabetes mellitus, IDDM) and Type II Diabetes Mellitus (non-insulin- dependent diabetes mellitus, NIDDM).Type I Diabetes Mellitus (insulin- dependent diabetes mellitus, IDDM) is due to destruction of pancreatic B cells. The cause of B cell destruction in type I diabetes is unknown. A few cases have followed viral infections, most commonly with coxsakievirus B or mumps virus. Autoimmunity is believed to be the major mechanism involved. Islet cell autoantibodies are present in the serum of 90% of newly diagnosed cases. Such antibodies are directed against several cell components, including cytoplasmic and membrane antigens or against insulin itself (IgG and IgE antibodies). Sensitized T lymphocytes with activity against B cells have also been demonstrated in some patients.Plasma insulin levels are very low or even absent in type I diabetes, and ketoacidosis develops if the patients do not receive exogenous insulin. Type I diabetes occurs most commonly in juveniles, with the highest incidence worldwide among the 10- to 14-year-old group, but occasionally occurs in adults, especially the nonobese and those who are elderly when hyperglycemia first appears.The etiology of type II diabetes mellitus (non-insulin- dependent diabetes mellitus, NIDDM) is even less clearly understood. Two factors have been identified: a) Impaired insulin release-basal secretion of insulin is often normal, but the rapid release of insulin follows a meal is greatly impaired, resulting in failure of normal handling of a carbohydrate load. In most patients, some level of insulin secretion is maintained, so that the abnormality of glucose metabolism is limited and ketoacidosis is uncommon. In these patients, insulin secretion can be stimulated by drugs such as sulfonylureas. Exogenous insulin is therefore not essential in treatment. It also have been suggested that inheritance of a defective pattern of insulin secretion is responsible for the familial tendency of diabetes. The genetic factor is very strong in type II diabetes, with a history of diabetes present in about 50% of first degree relatives.b) Insulin resistance-a defect in the tissue response to insulin is believed to play a major role. This phenomenon is called insulin resistance and is caused by defective insulin receptors on the target cells. Insulin resistance occurs in association with obesity and pregnancy. In normal individuals who become obese or pregnant, the B cells secrete increased amounts of insulin to compensate. Patients who have genetic susceptibility to diabetes cannot compensate because of their inherent defect in insulin secretion. Thus, type II diabetes is frequently precipitated by obesity and pregnancy. In a few patients with extreme insulin resistance, antibodies against the receptors have been demonstrated in plasma. These antibodies are mostly of the IgG class and act against the insulin receptors, causing the decreased numbers of insulin receptors and defective binding of insulin to receptors.Other specific types of diabetes mellitus includes maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY), diabetes due to mutant insulin, diabetes due to mutant insulin receptors, diabetes mellitus associated with a mutation of mitochondrial DNA and obese type 2 patients.. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cosmeceuticals are the new wave in skin care. They are topical cosmetic-pharmaceutical hybrids intended to enhance the health and beauty of the skin. Skin is the largest organ in the body, both by weight and surface area.  In adults, the weight of your skin accounts for about 16% of your total body weight.  The skin separates the internal environment from the external. It is essential to protect and preserve the skin for your own personal health and self esteem. Cosmetic skin care products only serve to cleanse and beautify. As opposed to cosmetics, cosmeceuticals will alter the structure and function of the skin. Let's take a look at some of the ingredients and the science behind why they work.Centella Asiatica is a botanical agent, which increases collagen production by inducing its precursor enzyme. This ingredient has a shelf life of 6 months, which is why you will not find it in stores. This amazing material reduces the appearance of stretch marks and is currently being researched for its effects on varicose veins. The FDA recognizes Salicyclic Acid as a proven anti-bacterial destroying agent. Retinol is a vitamin A treatment, which accelerates the skin cells natural exfoliation process and diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Glycolic Acid is a natural fruit acid, which accelerates the skins cellular turnover. It improves circulation and produces vibrant, smoother, younger-looking skin. Alpha Lipoic Acid is a powerful anti-oxidant proven to shrink pores, reduce under eye puffiness, and erase fine lines and wrinkles, while improving circulation and brightening your overall complexion. DMAE is a natural substance that stabilizes and strengthens the cell's plasma membrane. Dramatically tightens, firms, and tones the neck, eyelids, and facial muscles, resulting in a lean, toned, and youthful look. Sodium Hyaluronate is a protein that functions as a lubricant between the connective tissues of the skin, allowing the retention of skins natural moisture, leaving the skin soft, supple and silky smooth.Other ingredients include Dimethicone Copolyol Meadowfomate, which is an anti-irritant, retinyl palminate an anti-wrinkles agent, and actifirm, a skin-firming agent. In short, a combination of these ingredients will reverse sun damage and treat acne. They also reduce the appearance of wrinkles, old age spots, and stretch marks. I hope I have convinced you that cosmeceuticals will improve your happiness and your health. I encourage you to contact me with any questions, concerns, or your own rave reviews.. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am very often asked this question by affiliates in my home business network, and almost every time it happens, I just shake my head in pity and disbelief. They just don't get it...Where DO you find the time to run, manage and promote your home based business? I honestly don't know. I know one thing for sure; you can never really "find" time; you must "make time".Many who are new to the concept of running a home based business suffer what I like to call the "Indecision Syndrome". They have not made up their minds that they WANT or NEED a home based business, and my friend let me tell you, until you have made a decision you will never have time on your side. You will never be able to devote even 1 hour to building a business for yourself if you don't have the sense of urgency, and if you don't understand what a home based business can do for your life and your family in the long term.Here's what the people who claim they can't "find" time do; they put the least priority on their business. Everything else in life seems more important to them and they generally place their home based business last in the in the order of daily importance, such as this:	Spend 45 minutes in a jam	Go to work and slug for their boss	Hangout with friends a local pub after work	Spend 45 minutes in a jam	Get home and cook dinner 	Do all the domestic chores	Watch a few hours of TV	Get ready for the next day of work	Sit on their PC and read sports news 	Devote the rest of their time to their home based businessIf you're one of those that feel you have "no time" for your home based business then I challenge you to tell me this is not at least somewhat true. Prove me wrong. Make me eat my words. Chances are you'll find that difficult to do...Guilty as charged, right?  :) If you prioritize your hours in such a way, how do you even realistically expect to "find time"? How do you realistically expect to "Be your own boss" and have "Financial Freedom"? The truth is anyone who REALLY wants to build a home based business must make a conscious decision that they are going to do it no matter what it takes. After that life-changing decision is made, there has to be sacrifice...I can almost hear you say "Huh? Sacrifice? Sacrifice what?" You have to sacrifice the time you spend doing non-productive and non-income-generating activities everyday, and replace the gained time to do the really important tasks. If you're serious about making time for your business, there is no other way. You'll be amazed at how much you can achieve.Stuck in a jam? Here's what I do; I always have some educational or self-motivational cassette or CD in the car. I even have Internet marketing CDs that I listen to day-in and day-out for 90 minutes (actually mine's not that long). That's a whole 90 minutes of learning new things every single day, and improving my interpersonal and technical skills constantly. Don't I like to listen to music while driving? Yes, I do. But the sacrifice has to be there. I now listen to about 15 minutes of music only if I really feel like it. Chill out with friends? Here's what I do; I tell them not to bother me during the week because I am busy, but I make it a point to get together at least once a fortnight with some really close associates. Because of my attitude, I get curious enquiries like "What is it that you're so busy with"? And guess what I tell them? I say "Look John, I have found a way I can be financially free in 2-3 years and I am dedicating my life to it. I know for a fact that I will achieve it, and I'd like to have you as my partner. If you're interested to find out more, let me know. Otherwise, don't stop my progress". Excellent prospecting line too, don't you think? What about all the household chores that you have? Hey, I have them too. But I know that there are better ways to make use of my time, so I "outsource" my laundry, car maintenance and almost everything I can. I know I will probably spend more money than I usually do, but I am intent on "making time" for my home based business.I stopped watching TV years ago, and even went almost a year without one. However I do go to the cinemas and watch the news, but I just can't be bothered with watching every season of CSI or the American Idol because I know there are more productive things I can do with my time. Now you may be wondering "That's radical. Do you mean I have to sacrifice my entertainment when I start my own business?"No? not really, but you MUST learn to control it.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<P>I am very often asked this question by affiliates in my home business network, and almost every time it happens, I just shake my head in pity and disbelief. They just don't get it...Where DO you find the time to run, manage and promote your home based business? I honestly don't know. I know one thing for sure; you can never really "find" time; you must "make time".Many who are new to the concept of running a home based business suffer what I like to call the "Indecision Syndrome". They have not made up their minds that they WANT or NEED a home based business, and my friend let me tell you, until you have made a decision you will never have time on your side. You will never be able to devote even 1 hour to building a business for yourself if you don't have the sense of urgency, and if you don't understand what a home based business can do for your life and your family in the long term.Here's what the people who claim they can't "find" time do; they put the least priority on their business. </P><P>Everything else in life seems more important to them and they generally place their home based business last in the in the order of daily importance, such as this:<ol>	<li>Spend 45 minutes in a jam	<li>Go to work and slug for their boss	<li>Hangout with friends a local pub after work	<li>Spend 45 minutes in a jam	<li>Get home and cook dinner 	<li>Do all the domestic chores	<li>Watch a few hours of TV	<li>Get ready for the next day of work	<li>Sit on their PC and read sports news 	<li>Devote the rest of their time to their home based business</ol>If you're one of those that feel you have "no time" for your home based business then I challenge you to tell me this is not at least somewhat true. Prove me wrong. Make me eat my words. Chances are you'll find that difficult to do...Guilty as charged, right?  :) If you prioritize your hours in such a way, how do you even realistically expect to "find time"? How do you realistically expect to "Be your own boss" and have "Financial Freedom"? The truth is anyone who REALLY wants to build a home based business must make a conscious decision that they are going to do it no matter what it takes. After that life-changing decision is made, there has to be sacrifice...I can almost hear you say "Huh? Sacrifice? Sacrifice what?" You have to sacrifice the time you spend doing non-productive and non-income-generating activities everyday, and replace the gained time to do the really important tasks. </P><P>If you're serious about making time for your business, there is no other way. You'll be amazed at how much you can achieve.Stuck in a jam? Here's what I do; I always have some educational or self-motivational cassette or CD in the car. I even have Internet marketing CDs that I listen to day-in and day-out for 90 minutes (actually mine's not that long). That's a whole 90 minutes of learning new things every single day, and improving my interpersonal and technical skills constantly. Don't I like to listen to music while driving? Yes, I do. </P><P>But the sacrifice has to be there. I now listen to about 15 minutes of music only if I really feel like it. Chill out with friends? Here's what I do; I tell them not to bother me during the week because I am busy, but I make it a point to get together at least once a fortnight with some really close associates. Because of my attitude, I get curious enquiries like "What is it that you're so busy with"? And guess what I tell them? I say "Look John, I have found a way I can be financially free in 2-3 years and I am dedicating my life to it. I know for a fact that I will achieve it, and I'd like to have you as my partner. </P><P>If you're interested to find out more, let me know. Otherwise, don't stop my progress". Excellent prospecting line too, don't you think? What about all the household chores that you have? Hey, I have them too. But I know that there are better ways to make use of my time, so I "outsource" my laundry, car maintenance and almost everything I can. I know I will probably spend more money than I usually do, but I am intent on "making time" for my home based business.I stopped watching TV years ago, and even went almost a year without one. </P><P>However I do go to the cinemas and watch the news, but I just can't be bothered with watching every season of CSI or the American Idol because I know there are more productive things I can do with my time. Now you may be wondering "That's radical. Do you mean I have to sacrifice my entertainment when I start my own business?"No? not really, but you MUST learn to control it. Go to the local bookstore and try getting a book on profiles of really rich and famous people. I guarantee you that you'll find out most of them don't watch much TV either. </P><P>The theory of Delayed Gratification states that in order to have any amount of success in life, you must learn to postpone your pleasures until you have achieved your goal.
