"Back To School" for The Entrepreneur

The children are back in school. You can be back there too with all your entrepreneurial skills, it's never too late to learn. We live in a knowledge-powered economy and if we're not continually upgrading our capabilities we become obsolete!. The good news is, the educational choices we make at eighteen don't need to be hard and fast choices we're stuck with for a lifetime. We now can choose to look at lifelong learning as the homework assignment that never goes away. Or, we can choose to look at it as an essential strategy for living long and living well!.

How are you upgrading your knowledge and abilities? There is always more to learn and we must all strive to master more or new skills.

Advantages of Adult Education Many of us have great plans to do a night course. However, good intentions often fall by the wayside in the face of our many commitments. However, taking a class has many advantages:

• Satisfying your creative side or learning a new skill allows you to forget about everyday life for a while and concentrate on doing something for yourself.
• You are totally free to choose your own specialist subject - perhaps something you have always longed to do. Who knows what could happen when you take up the paintbrush/calculator/chainsaw for the first time?!

Night Courses in Ireland The further education sector in Ireland is booming. With more and more people of all ages returning to education for a variety of reasons, it often seems like half of Ireland is taking some type of course. Aontas - the National Association of Adult Education - estimate that each year over 300,000 adults participate in education in Ireland. The Aontas statistics break down the 300,000 total into approximately 150,000 people in nightcourses or evening classes, 30,000 students enrolled in PLC programmes, 50,000 in community education schemes and the rest taking part in various programmes and distance learning courses.

secure my connection - I agree with Link's second post. Security is a personal sticky issue and possibly not the first service you should introduce yourself at the door. I'd suggest also the Back to School "In-Home" Computer tuneup (it's such a pain to take your computer in for servicing) and promise that they would see a smoother and faster computer. You can hand them a 2 page report on the benefits of having a computer tuneup -> this is critical. After you are gone this is the only piece of information that they will have to begin trusting you and want to have you in their home. You can sneak at the bottom of the report the benefits of having a wireless connection and the importance of Securing it. finish off the report with two dotted rounded rectangle boxes beside each other. One has a free Computer tune up assessment and the other a free wireless network security test. If they take you up on either you can test for the other. You now have two sources of possible income.
Re: Can someone explain Search engine optimization to me? - Search Engine Optimization (SEO) could be compared to a big popularity contest: A High School Computer Geek and a High School Football Captain who are trying to promote a party. The computer geek tells everyone in school & even hands out 100's of flyers about his party Friday night...what happens? his friends end up showing up and a few new people...even the new people leave right away because it is not what they are looking for. The High School Football Captain ends up just telling a few good buddies, and within hours the entire school not only knows about it, but everyone wants to come, and everyone does come & stay. One defenition of "optimize is "To make as perfect or effective as possibe." How effective are your article marketing campaigns? Could you be distributing content (that is what search engines index) more effectively? In a perfect world, who would you want promoting your website, web pages, and web content? Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is determining this perfect & effective way to do this. Jeff
