Here’s the deal.  Everyday I am sending out at least two messages a day to other CMU7 members.  The first is a Welcome Aboard message to a new CMU7 requesting them to respond back to me so we can become better community members and neighbors.  We are both community members and neighbors here at CMU7 and we will all positively benefit when we all strive to be the best we can be.  The self benefit is enough reason in itself for us to do this.  My second message each day is a message I send to another member of CMU7 that I have not met yet.  This message is encouraging them to reply back to me so we also can become better acquainted.  I am selecting this member each day from either the “Some Random Member” section which shows up at the bottom of the site page or the “CMU7 Most Active” section which shows up on My Home Page.  When I see a person I don’t recognize, I know that’s the person I need to get to know better.  For you own self, it would be to your own best interest to get to know those who are Most Active.  These are the pro-active people who are making things happen.  These are the ones who know how to make things happen.  These are the ones you can learn a lot from.  These are the ones you need to associate mostly with.  Again, two messages a day is a minimum for me.  I will do at least that many.  It’s to your own best interest for you to do as many as you want.  After all, you are the one who knows how successful you wish to be.  You are the one who is most interested in your success.  Remember, success in a numbers game.  There is no one thing that is going to make you successful.  It’s an accumulation of “things” that helps you accelerate to the top of that success ladder.  Contact Info: Chuck Ellison  (Bizman1233) CMU7 LEARNING CENTER Presenter~ Steven Reid Learning Center Classes Link: http://www.cmu7.com/mem/events/entry/CMU7-CLASSES Schedule for CMU7 Classes  COMING SOON  JOKE OF THE WEEK   Did you pay taxes? A nervous taxpayer was unhappily conversing with the IRS Tax auditor who had come to review his records. At one point the auditor exclaimed, "Mr. Carelton, we feel it is a great privilege to be allowed to live and work in the USA. As a citizen you have an obligation to pay taxes, and we expect you to eagerly pay them with a smile." "Thank goodness," returned Mr. Carelton, with a giant grin on his face, "I thought you were going to want me to pay with cash."    CLASSIFIEDS   ---Place your Ads Here--- Your Ads can be Banner, Text or Both!   CMU7 CONFERENCE SCHEDULE-MONDAY NIGHT MINUTES * MONDAY MINUTES ~~>8:00 p.m. Eastern U.S. Time  http://www.cmu7.com:8888/dimdim/GetJoinConferenceForm.action?confKey=cmu7 **Check international time zones below ** http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html *Join Us!!
