As some of you may know, my wife and I welcomed a new baby daughter back in February named Sophia. However, this was not our first child. I cannot take credit for fathering our first child, but back on June 14, 1995, our first child, or should I say my wife’s first child was born. At the young age of 6 weeks old, my wife laid eyes on a baby Siberian husky that would become her first child and the love of her life.

In the April 2009 issue of Inc, Jim Collins, author of Good to Great, Built to Last and How the Mighty Fall, had the following to say about entrepreneurship and how it relates to risk:
“Students used to come to me at Stanford and say, I’d really like to do something on my own, but I’m just not ready to take that much risk. So I took the job with IBM. And I would say, you’re not ready for risk? What’s the first thing you learn about investing?

We are in the process of deploying a new corporate website with DotNetNuke as our back-end content management system. After I installed DotNetNuke, I wanted to install two additional applications underneath the DotNetNuke install. However, once I configured the applications in IIS7, I was unable to browse to either application due to a known ASP.NET bug, whereas web.config files cascade down so the application/virtual directory site is still loading the root DotNetNuke web.config file.

It has almost been one full week since the birth of our first daughter, Sophia, and it has been amazing to go through the entire process over the past 39 weeks. Childbirth is a miracle and it has been excited, scary, and nerve racking at times, to go from the size of a poppy seed to a 6lb 9oz healthy and beautiful baby girl. As we left the hospital to go home, I felt an overwhelming amount of gratitude towards all of the people who helped us every step of the way. We may never see some of these people but they will always hold a special place in our heart for all of their help.

With these uncertain economic times, what can the everyday, ordinary person do? Just the other day I heard an inspiring presentation which was focused on the Power of Attraction. The women who gave the presentation brought up a very interesting point. If the media, the market, and the naysayers all focused their energy and attention in a positive manner towards the economy, what might happen?
In the US, 2/3 of the economy is driven by the consumer. When the consumer does not have confidence in the economy, meaning the security of her job, confidence that his money is safe in the bank and so on, the consumer decides not to spend money and consume goods. It comes down to confidence and belief in the economy. When all we read and hear on the internet, the news, and the radio is how bad things are and how much worse they are going to get, our confidence lowers.
In a nutshell, the Power of Attraction states that what you ask for you shall receive and you attract what you think about. If you channel all...
