Feel Safe and Back Up with Carbonite
|  You know our organization and you know how much we have on our computers - We wouldn't know what to do if we lost it all. So to protect our files, we back up everything with Carbonite. It's safe, affordable and it continually backs up new photos, documents, business files and more. We pay less than a months worth of lattes to know we will never lose a document. Best thing I have found that that we can even access documents on our desktop from our smart phones!! Click the link below to see pricing and how it can work for your business or home computers.

Be an Ambassador
|  One of the definitions for "Ambassador" in the Oxford Dictionary is "A person who acts as a representative or promoter of a specified activity." I suggest that you pick an activity which you value, appoint yourself as an ambassador for the activity, and take a pro-active approach to encourage others to join you in your selected activity.
Your chosen activity could be membership in a business related group, such as a chamber of commerce, membership in a religious organization, participation in a recreational activity or any number of activities. As an ambassador, you contribute to the ongoing vitality of your selected activity, and you develop a closer bond with the persons you have recruited for your activity. Also, you have offered an opportunity for your friends and colleagues to enrich their lives.
Good Luck!
