I would not have survived the last 26 years in a conventional on the ground service related business if I had not constantly been listening to my customers needs.. I run 2 small businesses...& a 3rd that could be a business if I applied myself to it. I make a reasonable living from my efforts but more than that I enjoy what I do...in all areas SLIP CURE AUSTRALIA SCA which does Anti Slip Floor Safety Treatments ... 26 yrs "TURNING SLIP INTO GRIP" Australiawide Commercial / Industrial / Domestic SLIP CURE is my own product with a very good reputation & AUSTRALIAN / PHILIPPINE FREIGHT SERVICE APFS this is a family aid service for Filipino's ( my wife is a filipino)that want to send cartons of household goods food / clothing etc to their families in the Philippines... We do a "once a year" pre-Christmas / New Year delivery where I actually go to the Philippines & oversea the proper delivery of these cartons.. We offer this service collecting these cartons Australiawide this is our 17th year.... I also created this business completely from scratch by research & planning some 2 years before going public.. And my serious past time is writing / composing Music..this I have been doing since I was 13 yrs old ..I am 58 now.. I have a philosophy about life & business & basically as I see it.. they are all one & the same... There is no doubt that success & satisfaction of doing something well go hand in hand & I believe to do that, you have to love what you do with a passion... It has to have an emotional drive behind it. otherwise what is the point... EMOTION, LOVE & COMMITMENT to doing what is needed to HELP others succeed as you yourself want too succeed.. thanks for the space to say a few words. Regards, Michael Carl, how true..

It even addressed one of my favorite gripes, though somewhat indirectly. It is understandable that writers don't like to 'date' their material by dating it, but I consider it an almost ethical 'must' as outdated material can mislead readers into serious mistakes. It is my thought that writers should take away a bit of their making money time and devote it to UPDATING their products. It really puts me off a writer when I find links to products that are no longer on the market, for instance--especially when I find such in products that I have paid for! Needless to say, I'll not likely buy from that seller again, and I'm quite likely to report the occurrence on my site, in forums, etc. What a timely, pertinent, and well written article.
