I love email but the worst thing is all the spam in my inbox. It feels like my inbox isn't mine anymore. Someone had seemingly signed my up to so many Internet dating sites, I felt disappointed every time I opened up email.I had just been reading up on the concept of networking. It seems these days people sign up to Websites to participate in networking. I gather all this means is to meet new people.

I started to wonder if someone hadn't signed up to all this Internet dating on my behalf. I guess it would be logical, but who? All I knew is that the constant stream of spam wasn't helping my businessI mean the time I'm cleaning up all the spam is the time I could be - well, networking I guess. I could be out there trying to expand my business.I then received a phone call from a friend of mine called Brian.

He wanted to hire me. I offered my webdesign skills out to my friends from time to time. It wasn't a business but it spread through word of mouth. I liked this type of advertisingThe reason was people are risking their reputation to recommend you to someone and I like that. It wasn't internet dating where you never know who to trust.

It was more like dinner with an old friend who introduces you to someone who they feel you could do great things for.I decided that what I needed to do was research. Research was not my strong point, I knew this, but what choice did I have? I felt frustrated and couldn't trust anyone else to sort out these issues for me.So I did that research and over the next week managed to block the spam email.

It may seem like trivial matter to some but it felt like a victory to me when I clicked on the accept button.I now felt confident that I was going in the right direction. It was my idea of stream lining the business. It gave me the confidence to research other areas to improve the business further. I felt excited for the first time in months.
