<p style="text-align: justify;">A la verdad que tener un trabajo full-time y negocios desde el hogar a veces no es fácil.  Uno tiene tantas cosas que hacer que quisiera que los días fueran de mas de 24 horas.  Yo entiendo que <strong>lo mas importante es organizarse y aprender a manejar mejor el tiempo</strong>. De esa forma es como único vamos a poder lograr terminar todo lo que nos propongamos.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Una de las mejores formas para organizarse y manejar el tiempo es preparando una agenda de todo lo que tienes que hacer durante el día.  Si es posible<strong> tener un calendario</strong> el cual veas todos los días para recordarte de lo que tienes que hacer y no te salgas de el tiempo establecido.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Yo tengo una pizarra calendario en la pared que la veo todos los días.  También uso <a href="http://calendar.google.com" target="_blank">Google Calendar</a> para que me envíe recordatorios a mi email y para completar las notificaciones del calendario también me llegan al iPhone.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-163" title="googlecalendar" src="http://axelsanmiguel.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/googlecalendar.jpg" alt="googlecalendar" width="450" height="362" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Es como tener a una persona todo el tiempo encima de ti diciéndote lo que debes hacer pero sin regaños. LOL <img src='http://axelsanmiguel.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Que métodos utilizas para recordarte de lo que tienes que hacer durante el día?</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Deja tus comentarios abajo!</p>

<p>Today I received an email from a friend of mine saying that Sony is giving away a free Ericsson Laptop to those that send the same email to 8 or more of their contacts.</p>
<p>I have received like 20 emails from several friends about this!</p>
<p>This is the email :</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-133" title="ericson-laptop" src="http://axelsanmiguel.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/ericson-laptop.jpg" alt="ericson-laptop" width="501" height="665" /></p>
<p>If you notice something fishy or to good to be truth&#8230; then maybe it is.</p>
<p>You see, this is what people call a HOAX.</p>
<p>What is a <strong>HOAX</strong>?</p>
<p>A <strong>hoax</strong> (According to <a href="http://www.Wikipedia.com">Wikipedia</a>) is a deliberate attempt to dupe, deceive or trick an audience into believing, or accepting, that something is real, when the hoaxster knows it is not; or that something is true, when it is false. In an instance of a hoax, an object, or event, is not what it appears to be, or what it is claimed to be &#8211; for example, &#8220;snake oil,&#8221; which was sold by 19th century traveling salesman in the United States as a cure-all. A hoax differs from a magic show in that the audience is unaware of being deceived &#8211; whereas in watching a magician perform a magical act, the audience expects to be tricked.</p>
<p>If you analyze the email you see that they are giving away a free Ericsson T18 Laptop and also a Ericsson R320 Laptop&#8230; Hum!  Never heard of those laptops before.  Is it that those aren&#8217;t names of Laptops but names of Mobile Devices from Ericsson?  Aha!  BINGO!  There is the HOAX!</p>
<p>Here are the to model of cellphones mentioned on the email:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-138" title="ericsson-t18" src="http://axelsanmiguel.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/ericsson-t18.jpg" alt="ericsson-t18" width="250" height="250" /><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-139" title="ericsson-r320" src="http://axelsanmiguel.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/ericsson-r320.jpg" alt="ericsson-r320" width="250" height="386" /></p>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="overflow: hidden; position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 305px; width: 1px; height: 1px;">A <strong>hoax</strong> is a deliberate attempt to <a title="Dupe" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dupe">dupe</a>, <a class="mw-redirect" title="Deceive" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deceive">deceive</a> or <a title="Deception" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deception">trick</a> an audience into believing, or accepting, that something is real, when the hoaxster knows it is not; or that something is true, when it is false.

<p>I have to say that I didn&#8217;t know who this guy was until I find his bio searching google.  I find this video and I was immediately shocked with the quality of the content.  It&#8217;s a must watch for any Entrepreneur and Internet Marketer.</p>

<p>This is not business related, is more like a call for help or advice.  You see, my neighbor smokes all the time and all the  smoke comes into my house and the problem is that I have a son that has asthma  and I don&#8217;t know what else to do.  Please watch the video below and leave your comments.  Thanks!</p>
<p>Esto no tiene que ver con negocios, es mas como un llamado de ayuda o consejo que me puedan dar.  Veran, tengo un vecino que se pasa fumando todo el tiempo y el humo se mete a mi casa, el problema es que tengo un hijo que es asmatico y no se que mas hacer.  Favor de ver el video que esta aqui abajo y dejar sus comentarios. Gracias!</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Whatever it is you are trying to achieve in life, <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">you</span></strong> can acomplish it.  No matter how difficult it seems or how ridiculous it sounds to others.  You are the creator of your own reality&#8230; create it wisely and <strong>never, never, never</strong> let someone else steal your dreams.</p>

It’s kind of hard writing in a small keyboard but is better than nothing. I’m adding a quick photo I took of me to see how the images are managed. That’s it for now! Take care.</p>

<p>Have you heard about <a onclick="javascript:urchinTracker('/outbound/www.yuwie.com/r/36761/');" href="http://www.yuwie.com/r/36761/" target="_blank">Yuwie</a>?</p>
<p>How about <a onclick="javascript:urchinTracker('/outbound/join.zenzuu.com/AxelSM');" href="https://join.zenzuu.com/AxelSM" target="_blank">Zenzuu</a>?</p>
<p>I bet you haven’t heard about <a onclick="javascript:urchinTracker('/outbound/www.6dgr.com/index.php?mode=join_amp_ref_id=3727');" href="http://www.6dgr.com/index.php?mode=join&amp;ref_id=3727" target="_blank">6dgr</a>!</p>
<p>This are social sites that pays you for using their website, what they do is share a part of their advertising revenue depending on how many pages you have browse and how many page views you had by other visiting your profile.  Is quite amazing “The Concept” that just for doing the same thing you have done with other social sites like posting pictures, writing on blogs, chat with friends, join discussion groups, etc… You get paid!</p>
<p>However I have heard that in order to get paid in <a onclick="javascript:urchinTracker('/outbound/www.yuwie.com/r/36761/');" href="http://www.yuwie.com/r/36761/" target="_blank">Yuwie</a> you have to have  A LOT of page views just  to receive like $0.15 cents or so.  What, all my effort for only that?</p>
<p>This is my total earning in <a onclick="javascript:urchinTracker('/outbound/www.yuwie.com/r/36761/');" href="http://www.yuwie.com/r/36761/" target="_blank">Yuwie</a>:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" title="My Yuwie Earnings!" src="http://axelsanmiguel.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/yuwie-earning.png" alt="" width="387" height="352" /></p>
<p class="wp-caption-text">My Yuwie Earnings WOW!!!</p>
<p>I’ll be honest, I don’t use it very often but here is a picture of my friend Sans who really use <a onclick="javascript:urchinTracker('/outbound/www.yuwie.com/r/36761/');" href="http://www.yuwie.com/r/36761/" target="_blank">Yuwie</a>:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" title="sans" src="http://axelsanmiguel.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/sans-earnings.png" alt="" width="526" height="307" /></p>
<p class="wp-caption-text">$0.84 Cents for 24,633 page views?  Common!!!</p>
<p>And I haven’t talk about <a onclick="javascript:urchinTracker('/outbound/join.zenzuu.com/AxelSM');" href="https://join.zenzuu.com/AxelSM" target="_blank">Zenzuu!</a> You see, <a onclick="javascript:urchinTracker('/outbound/join.zenzuu.com/AxelSM');" href="https://join.zenzuu.com/AxelSM" target="_blank">Zenzuu</a> since their launch like 5 months ago, they haven’t pay a single cent to their members… Why? Because they share their advertising revenue…  You do the math!!!</p>
<p>They keep pushing back the 1st pay date a month at a time (5 times already since July) so no one will quit. The 1st pay date is schedule now for November 15, we shall see. <a onclick="javascript:urchinTracker('/outbound/join.zenzuu.com/AxelSM');" href="https://join.zenzuu.com/AxelSM" target="_blank">Zenzuu</a> doesn’t want to tell people that most business don’t make a profit until after 2 or 3 years, since if they do no one will join. Last I check in math class 80% of ZERO profit is still ZERO.</p>
<p>Now <a onclick="javascript:urchinTracker('/outbound/www.6dgr.com/index.php?mode=join_amp_ref_id=3727');" href="http://www.6dgr.com/index.php?mode=join&amp;ref_id=3727" target="_blank">6dgr</a> is different, because you don’t get paid for using the website nor for page views or anything like that… You get paid for inviting friends to use <a onclick="javascript:urchinTracker('/outbound/www.6dgr.com/index.php?mode=join_amp_ref_id=3727');" href="http://www.6dgr.com/index.php?mode=join&amp;ref_id=3727" target="_blank">6dgr</a>.  And you don’t get paid $0.15 or $1.20 not even $2.00 for your effort of inviting… You get paid $4.00 every time you invite someone to register for FREE!  That’s right $4.00 just for inviting… You might be thinking, $4.00? I can’t get rich with $4 dollars.  And you may be right or you could be wrong…</p>
<p>You see, $4 for every person you refer, hum!  If you refer 10 people that’s $40, If you refer 100 people that’s $400, If your refer 1000 people that’s $4000… Get my point?  You won’t get rich, but is a nice income to complement your current situation.  You also get paid for the people your friends refer and so on… All the details about the compensation plan are <a onclick="javascript:urchinTracker('/outbound/www.6dgr.com/index.php?mode=help');" href="http://www.6dgr.com/index.php?mode=help" target="_blank">here</a>!  And remember you’re inviting people to a social site that is Free like <a onclick="javascript:urchinTracker('/outbound/www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=619999676');" href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=619999676" target="_blank">Facebook</a> and <a onclick="javascript:urchinTracker('/outbound/www.myspace.com/axelsm');" href="http://www.myspace.com/axelsm" target="_blank">Myspace</a> like you have always done but this time you get paid!</p>
<p>Let me ask you a question.  How much did <a onclick="javascript:urchinTracker('/outbound/www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=619999676');" href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=619999676" target="_blank">Facebook</a> paid you for inviting all your friends? How about <a onclick="javascript:urchinTracker('/outbound/www.myspace.com/axelsm');" href="http://www.myspace.com/axelsm" target="_blank">Myspace</a>?  You see they have become a million if not, a billion dollar company thanks to your help but they haven’t pay you a single cent for that, not even a thank you note or a complementary dinner…</p>
<p>I encourage you to go to the link below and register today, so you can start inviting your friends and start receiving your piece of the money pie!</p>

<h1 style="text-align: center;"><strong><strong>Tips When Deciding to Have</strong></strong></h1>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><strong><strong>Your Own Home Office.</strong></strong></h1>
<p>Hey everyone, I was away for a while, got to take care of some business but I’m back and with a new office.  Yeah, I made one of the rooms in my house into an office, because  I was working from my own bedroom and didn’t have the privacy and commodity to work.  But now I have my own space where I can think and brainstorm my business ideas, study without anyone disturbing me and very happy about it.</p>
<h2><strong><br />
</strong></h2>
<h2>Build Your Own Space</h2>
<p>Having your own workspace at home puts you in the right mind set to begin work and makes it much easier to focus on the job you’re intended to do.</p>
<p>If you have spare room in the house, it would be best to set apart this space for your home office.  If you don’t have a spare room, simply use a room that normally serves a different purpose.  Your bedroom or laundry room can double as a home office.  If it’s a room where you can shut the door and work quietly for a few hours every day without any interruptions, you’ll find you get a lot more work done and are fresher at the end of the day.</p>
<h2>Choose Ergonomic Furniture</h2>
<p>Get a desk and chair that’s comfortable and ergonomically designed so that when you spend your time in front of the computer it doesn’t result in an aching back or neck.  Always have good lighting so that you can work comfortably without straining your eyes.</p>
<h2>Clear up the Clutter</h2>
<p>It’s amazing how quickly you have your workspace filled with piles of junk and you’ve soon outgrown your home office!  Keep it simple and organized.  File your paperwork right away so that you don’t waste time looking for lost documents.  Organize your files into binders that are clearly labeled.  Storage bins, bookshelves and file cabinets are great for organizing your files, marketing and learning materials like DVDs and CDs.</p>
<p>Save and organize your electronic files into folders on your hard drive and in your email software and back up important files on DVDS or other backup devices like tape backups.  Before the work day ends, straighten up your desk and work day so you can get straight to work with a clean desk in the morning.  These are good work habits that will help you stay efficient and productive.</p>
<h2>Be more Productive</h2>
<p>Make your home office a friendly and welcoming place.  Decorate your workspace and give it your own individual touch. Put up motivational posters, pictures of your last holiday, an inspiring painting. Flowers from your garden add to the cheer. Whatever motivates you to work goes.</p>
<p>On the other hand, make sure that distractions are kept to the minimum. If you find that music helps you work better, that’s okay.  But stay off TV and radio if you find they make you less productive.  You can treat yourself to a ten-minute coffee break after you’ve achieved a preset work target for the day,  say, in the middle of the morning.  Find a good balance and before you know it, you’ll have a home office set up that you love to work in.</p>

<div class="post_content">
<p>I found this program while browsing the internet called Digsby.<br />
Digsby is a 3in1 Web 2.0 application, witch means you have a “Instant Message + Email Notification + Social Networks” all in 1 place.  For me this is awesome!  I have centralize all my contacts with Digsby and it has made my life much easier.  Here are some of the feature I’m using:</p>
<p><strong>Instant Message &#8211; </strong>MSN Messenger, Google Talk, Yahoo Messenger, Facebook Chat and others.</p>
<p><strong>Email Notification &#8211; </strong>Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, IMAP, AOL, you can also add all your POP3 accounts and receive notifications of new emails.</p>
<p><strong>Social Networks &#8211; </strong>Facebook, Myspace and Twitter.  (more coming soon)</p>
<p>I was looking for a long time for a application that could integrate all of the above, and I think I finally found it.</p>
<p>Digsby is still in beta, witch means you can encounter some glitches or bugs but it has been pretty stable to me.  The only problem I have encounter is that I couldn’t configure my Facebook account in the Social Networks lists but I still have it in the Instant Message part in Facebook chat.</p>
<p>You can also add it to your own site or blog very easy.</p>
<p>I’m thinking of making a video to show you how to use Digsby and how you can use it to maximize your time and keep in touch with your market.</p>
<p>What do you think?  If you want me to make a video about Digsby and how to maximize your time with it, just add comments and I’ll see what I can do for you.</p>
<p>To get more info on Digsby and give it a try go to <a onclick="javascript:urchinTracker('/outbound/www.digsby.com');" href="http://www.digsby.com/" target="_blank">www.digsby.com</a></p>
<p>Well, take care everyone and until next time.</p>
<p>Your partner in success,</p>
