STOP CHILDREN FROM PORN VIEWINGThe statistics are scary. Everyone is always at risk at being exposed to “information” theywere not seeking, especially PORN. Children are most at risk since they have little to“filter” these messages. We could bemoan the fact the internet brings challenges with itrewards, instant access to all type of information without any editing. That would be a wasteof good time or we can use the tools available to combat the challenge to our youth.Go to www.juniques.ws/safeview and get some help now.Check out some of these staggering statistics= One in five children ages 10-17 have received a sexual solicitation over the Internet.= One in four children who use the Internet are exposed to unsolicited sexual material.= 2.5 billion emails per day are pornographic (YES BILLION!).= 70 percent of sexual advances over the Internet happened while youngsters were on a home computer.= 21 percent of teens say they have looked at something on the Internet that they wouldn't want their parents to know.These are staggering statistics {!firstname_fix}!

Essential Steps to Selecting a College
Chances are, picking a college may be the most important decision you've made so far. With more than 3,000 institutions of higher learning in the United States alone, it can seem overwhelming.
But here's the good news: There are scores of outstanding colleges and universities nationwide, plus lots of information available on how to select one that's right for you. You can start your selection process with a few simple steps:
Identify your must-haves.
Ask yourself some serious questions:
Do I want to attend a large university or a small
college?
Do I want my school to be in a rural, suburban, or urban setting?
Do I want to live close to home? What can I afford?
Will my family help pay for my education?
Do I want to live on campus or commute? What do I want to major in?
Answering these questions will go a long way toward helping you create a list of schools that meet your *criteria.
Develop a list of contenders. Make an appointment with your college counselor and describe the things you want from a school. Based on what your counselor knows about you, he or she might have some great suggestions. Get ideas from family and friends. And, avail yourself of our free Web-based college matching service, My College Options. Spend a few minutes completing your personal profile and My College Options will provide you a list of colleges in order of compatibility. (Hint: You can redo your profile and search criteria as often as you change your mind! No charge.)
Request information. If you haven't already requested brochures and applications through My College Options, call or email your top schools and ask for admissions packets. Spend some time looking at your schools' glossy view books and Flash-enabled websites; you'll find that each school has its own personality. (As you read, remember each college is trying to put its best foot forward.) And supplement the material you receive from colleges with information from college guides, conversations with current students, friends, family, and counselors.
Narrow your list and apply. Spend time talking with your parents about which schools they would like you to consider. Also, have the money talk; ask your parents how much they will contribute financially toward your higher education. If you and your parents disagree about school choices, listen to their points, explain your side, and try and develop a "consensus list". There's no rule about how many schools you should apply to. Some people apply to as many as a dozen; others send in one application only. (Keep in mind that most colleges request application fees, usually around $50. So applying can get expensive.)
It may also be helpful to divide your top choices into "reach" schools—those that might be a stretch financially or academically; mid-range schools where you're likely to get in but aren't sure; and safety schools—the sure bets. A good rule of thumb: Apply to three reach schools, three mid-range school, and two safety schools.

The White House
Andthe bill includes eight new small business tax cuts – all effective as of Monday, and applying to small businesses’ taxes for this year – providing an immediate incentive for businesses to make new investments and,expand.
Under the Recovery Act, 75 percent of capital gains on key small business investments this yearwere excluded from taxes. The Small Business Jobs Act temporarily puts in place for the rest of 2010 a provision called for by the President – elimination of all capital gains taxes on these investments if held for five years. Over one million small businesses are eligible to receive investments this year that, if held for five years or longer, could be completely excluded from any capital gains taxation.
2. Extension andExpansion of Small Businesses’ Ability to Immediately Expense Capital
Investments: The bill increases for 2010 and 2011 the amount of investments that businesses would be eligible to immediately write off to $500,000, while raising the level of investments at which the write-off phases out to $2 million. Prior to the passage of the bill, the expensing limit would have been $250,000 this year, and only $25,000 next year. This provision means that 4.5 million small businesses and individuals will be able to make new business investments today and know that they will earn a larger break on their taxes for this year.
3. Extension of 50%Bonus Depreciation: The bill extends – as the President proposed in his budget a Recovery Act provision for 50 percent “bonus depreciation” through 2010, providing 2 million businesses, large and small, with the ability to make new investments today and know they can receive a tax cut for this year by accelerating the rate at which they deduct capital expenditures.
4. A New Deduction ofHealth Insurance Costs for Self-Employed: The bill allows 2million self-employed to know that on their taxes for this year, they can get a deduction for the cost of health insurance for themselves and their family members in calculating their self-employment taxes. This provision is estimated to provide over $1.9 billion in tax cuts for these entrepreneurs.
5. Tax Relief andSimplification for Cell Phone Deductions: The bill changes rules so that the use of cell phones can be deducted without burdensome extra documentation – making it easier for virtually every small business in America to receive deductions that they are entitled to, beginning on their taxes for this year.
6. An Increase in theDeduction for Entrepreneurs’ Start-Up Expenses: The bill temporarily increases the amount of start-up expenditures entrepreneurs can deduct from their taxes for this year from $5,000 to $10,000 (with a phase-out threshold of $60,000 in expenditures), offering an immediate incentive for someone with a new business idea to invest in starting up a new small business today.
7. A Five-YearCarryback Of General Business Credits: The bill would allow certain small businesses to “carry back” their general business credits to offset five years of taxes – providing them with a break on their taxes for this year – while also allowing these credits to offset the Alternative Minimum Tax, reducing taxes for these small businesses.
8. Limitationson Penalties for Errors in Tax Reporting That Disproportionately Affect Small Business: The bill would change, beginning this year, the penalty for failing to report certain tax transactions from a fixed dollar amount – which was criticized for imposing a disproportionately large penalty on small businesses in certain circumstances – to a percentage of the tax benefits from the transaction.
Office of the Press Secretary
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
September 27, 2010
BACKGROUND ON THE SMALL BUSINESS BILL SIGNING TODAY
Today, President Obama will sign the Small Business Jobs Act, a bill that will give our nation’s small businesses support and incentives to help them grow and hire. The bill includes a series of small business proposals that the President put forth earlier this year, and small businesses will start benefiting from the bill on day one.
The President will be joined at the signing today by a group of small business owners who will benefit from the new legislation, some of whom the President has previously met with as he fought to pass this bill (their bios are below). He will also be joined by Small Business Administrator Karen Mills, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, and Members of Congress. The signing is today at 1:45 pm ET in the East Room at the White House. The signing is open press.
The bill immediately extends successful SBA Recovery Act provisions, meaning that within a few days, it will restart the SBA’s Recovery lending, beginning with the more than1,300 small businesses that have been waiting to get the credit they need – with thousands more benefiting in the coming weeks.
Andthe bill includes eight new small business tax cuts – all effective as of Monday, and applying to small businesses’ taxes for this year – providing an immediate incentive for businesses to make new investments and,expand.
For example:
off the first $500,000 of your investments;
investments in your company will be subject to zero capital gains taxes;
· if you are an entrepreneur and take a chance on a new idea, you can deduct thefirst $10,000 of your start-up costs;
insurance for you and your family from your self-employment taxes.
Eight Small Business Tax Cuts – Effective Today, Providing Immediate
Incentives to Invest: The President had already signed into law eight small business tax cuts, and on Monday, he is signing into law another eight new tax cuts that go into effect immediately.
Under the Recovery Act, 75 percent of capital gains on key small business investments this yearwere excluded from taxes. The Small Business Jobs Act temporarily puts in place for the rest of 2010 a provision called for by the President – elimination of all capital gains taxes on these investments if held for five years.

Extension of Successful SBA Recovery Loan Provisions— Immediately Supporting Loans to Over 1,300 Small Businesses : With funds provided in the bill, SBA will begin funding new Recovery loans within a few days of the President’s signature, starting with the more than 1,300 businesses
– with loans totaling more than $680 million – that are waiting in the Recovery Loan Queue.
· In Total, Extension of Provisions Which Have the Capacity to
Support $14 Billion in Loans to Small Businesses: Extending these
Recovery loan enhancements – which increase guarantees for SBA’s largest loan
program (the 7(a) program) to 90% and reduce fees for the 7(a) and 504 program
– has the capacity to support $14 billion in lending to small businesses.
Already, SBA Recovery loan provisions have supported $30 billion in lending to
over 70,000 small businesses.
· Within Coming Weeks, the Bill Will Allow SBA to Support
Larger Loans As Well: The bill also increases the maximum loan size for SBA loan
programs, which in the coming weeks will allow more small businesses to access
more credit to enable them to expand and create new jobs. The bill:
o Permanently raises the maximum loan size for the SBA’s two largest loan programs, increasing maximum
7(a) and 504 loan size from $2 million to $5 million and the maximum 504
manufacturing related loan size from $4 million to $5.5 million.
o Permanently raises the maximum loan size for SBA microloans, increasing it from $35,000 to $50,000 and strengthening a critical tool for entrepreneurs and business owners in under-served markets to access start-up capital.
o Temporarily raises the maximum loan size for SBA Express loans from $350,000 to $1 million, providing greater access to working capital loans that small businesses use to purchase new inventory and take on their next order – allowing them to create new jobs.
· Treasury Is Working to Quickly Implement the Small Business
Lending Fund and State Small Business Credit Initiative: In addition
to these SBA provisions, Treasury is working to quickly implement two new
programs designed to support private-sector lending to credit-worthy small
businesses, and expects to release further details in the coming weeks
concerning applications for these programs.
o The Small Business Lending Fund would make available $30 billion in capital to
small banks with incentives to increase small business lending, potentially
supporting several multiples of that amount in new credit.
o The State Small Business Credit Initiative will support at least $15 billion in
new lending by strengthening state small business programs – many of them
facing budget cuts – that leverage private-sector lenders to extend additional
credit.

One WAHM and mompreneur to another and from one Daughter of
God to another.
It's your responsibility to express your gifts in a BIG way!!
You're a unique one of a kind Gift of God.
If you're not involved in the marketing activity of building your list/community consistently you won't
attract your ideal clients/customers and without clients/customers you won't have revenue and
without revenue your business will cease.
Okay I know you've heard that the money is in the list, however, maybe you can't seem to make
it work for you. Or you're having results but not to the extent that you desire.
Is it really true that the money is in the list? Or are there other elements essential
to realizing the fruits from your list.
Maybe you have questions such as......
"How do I get started?"
"What's the quickest way to realize results?"
"How can I persuade prospects to subscribe?"
"What's a squeeze page?"
"I'm not handy with all that tech stuff so how can I get started without a
fancy website?"
I'm glad you asked. All of the above and more will be covered in my upcoming free call.
Get your message out! 5 sure-fire strategies to build your list.
Everyone is welcome, however, this time the call is designed with the Christian Woman/Mom in business in mind.

If you haven’t thought of using greeting cards to bring potential customers to your door and to keep in touch with past and current clients, you should consider this strategy. These cards should be thought of as part of any successful marketing strategy, but they should NOT contain a hard-hitting marketing message all about you, your company, and what you have to offer. Rather, the intention here is to build the relationship with your clients, in order to develop a sense of customer loyalty by finding out what your customers needs & wants are, then providing solutions through use of your product or service.
Here are a few examples of several occasions during the year when sending a greeting card to a client is not only appropriate, but also beneficial.
Client birthdays – If you happen to know the birthday of your main contact at a client’s company, be sure to put it on your calendar. Unlike major holidays, which are the same every year, it takes a little work to remember a client’s birthday. Acknowledging the day with a card is a thoughtful gesture that your client will be sure
to appreciate.
Thanksgiving – What better time to let a client know that you are thankful for their business, than at Thanksgiving? These cards don’t have to be anything fancy — just a high-quality, professional-looking card and a short, handwritten note thanking your client and letting them know that you appreciate their continued
business.
Holiday time and New Year’s – Although most of us think of this holiday in terms of Christmas, remember that not everyone celebrates it, and many people don’t think of it as a religious holiday. To avoid stepping on any toes, be sure to choose cards with a neutral greeting, such as “Happy Holidays.”
Another option is to send out New Year’s cards thanking clients for their business during the previous year, and wishing them prosperity in the coming year.
Fourth of July – Independence Day makes a great mid-year excuse to send out greeting cards to clients; there are other summer occasions that you can choose to send a card if you’d prefer. Inside the card, you can say you hope their summer is going well, and let them know that you are available during the summer months. Since some people take off or reduce their hours during the summer, this can be a valuable way to remind your clients that you are still open for business and raring to go.
Anytime you haven’t heard from them in a while – There’s nothing like a “Thinking of You” card to remind your clients of any projects they might need you for. Just like you, clients get busy and mentally move projects to the sidelines, but dropping them a line might get them thinking about them again.
As you can see, greeting cards offer a number of opportunities to keep in touch with clients in a thoughtful manner. Many clients truly appreciate the personal touch of receiving a card in the mail, and you will often find that your cards remind clients of purchases or projects they have been putting off but now need to think about.
For more information on how to incorporate postcards and/or greeting cards into your marketing mix, feel free to contact me. I offer a great line of handmade and online greeting cards. Check out www.sendoutcards.com- click option #2 and send a free card. Or follow me on my blog at www.dbjdesigns.com
As a woman business owner it is important to learn all you can about being successful in business. If you're like most other entrepreneurs who want to stay in the know you probably follow thought leaders and gurus. But did you know that another great place to find success tips is by to simply pay attention to what you see in everyday life? Here's a few insights that I gleaned by observing the way an ant goes about its day.
Diligence
Ants are probably one of the best examples for learning about the power of diligence and how it helps produce great results. The smallest of all creatures it is likely one of the most productive of all living things. When compared to people who are slothful in work, the ant helps us see two distinct traits that lead to success. It is a model for traditional careers and for those who are self-employed. The ant realizes that there is a time to sow and a time to reap. Business cycles follow this same pattern so it is critical that we prepare for the ebbs and flows and to remain energetic in our work. As you anticipate the change in seasons maximize sales by raising the bar in productivity. You will be glad you did when there is adequate cash reserve to carry you through the not so good seasons.
Independence
In order to be successful, there are two behaviors that you can adopt from the ant's example. First, cultivate independence. It is important to be able to manage time well on your own without requiring supervision. Being your own boss requires you to make every effort to carry assignments through to completion. This will become second nature as you become more aware of the urgency to get work done within a specified time frame. When it comes to work ethics another lesson the ant teaches is to not put off tomorrow what you can do today. Allow this standard to become part of your work DNA so that you are consistent in following through.
Alertness
Another important point to note is that you also need to heighten your sense of alertness. Develop this skill by getting familiar with your company and industry's cycles. Conduct research often and prepare forecasts so that you are always ahead of the game. Use your findings to answer questions such as:
- When is the best time to invest resources into marketing, networking and advertising?
- When can you expect those results to produce?
- What do you need to do now in order to ensure a bountiful harvest during peak and off seasons?
These are just a few tips that I learned from paying attention to the ant. I'd also love to hear yours.
To your productive day!

Twenty Questions to Ask Your School Counselor.
Your school counselor is one of your best resources as you plan for college. Your counselor has information about admissions tests, college preparation, and your education and career options. Here are some basic questions to help get your conversation started:
1.What are the required and recommended courses—for graduation and for college prep?
2. How should I plan my schedule so I'll complete them?
3. Which elective courses do you recommend?
4. Which AP® courses are available? (Advance Placement)
5. When is the PSAT/NMSQT® going to be school a testing center for the SAT®, or will I need to go somewhere nearby?
6.Is this school a testing center for the SAT®, or will I
need to go somewhere nearby?
7. Do you have any after-school or evening sessions available for college planning, or the SAT?
8. Do you have college handbooks or other guides that I can browse or borrow? Do you have a copy of the free SAT Preparation Booklet™,which has a practice test in it?
9. What activities can I do at home and over the summer to get ready for college?
10. What kinds of grades do different colleges require?
11. Are there any college fairs at this school, or nearby?
12. Where do other kids from this school attend college?
13.What are the requirements or standards for the honor society?
14. Can you put me in touch with recent grads who are
going to the colleges on my wish list?
15. Do you have any information to help me start
exploring my interests and related careers?
16. If my colleges need a recommendation from you,
how can I help you know me better, so it can be more
personal?
17. Are there any special scholarships or awards that I
should know about now, so I can work toward them?
18. Can I see my transcript as it stands now, to see if
everything is as I think it should be?
19. Do you have any forms I need to apply for financial
aid?
20. How does our school compare to others, in terms of
test scores and reputation?
Reality Check
Your school counselor may be the most wonderful and accessible person on the planet, or may be juggling a thousand students and barely know your name. So remember that the person who has the biggest stake in your academics is you. It's up to you to stay on top of opportunities and deadlines, to take control of your future.

Most of the time I am all, "Hey this is what you should be doing with your business" or "Hey, look at this marketing guide I created for you" BUT everybody has to do something a little different every now and again.
This past week I tried a few new things:
1. Guest Posts from other Web Women Entrepreneurs
2. Adding more new videos and video tutorials
3. Sharing more giveaway contests
4. Posting one and two articles more on black women and less on business
5. Hosting A SistaSense Challenge for Women Entrepreneurs
6. Posting about other Successful Women Entrepreneurs of Color
7. Answering Your Web Marketing Questions Via the Blog
8. Highlighting Events for Black Women Into Technology, Blogging, Business, and/or Self Improvement
I think I am going to do more of this STUFF on SistaSense, as well as give you some more technology reviews and computer software how-tos like my post on removing spyware from your computer or adding new life to my old HP Laptop.
I think its time to step up my SistaSense game and share more than just my marketing tips and/or products with you. Its time to unleash the multiple sides of sistasense! I think I might also throw in some more mom in my 'work at home mom' talk, so you can get a glimpse into my daily wahm life! Yall keep asking me about time management and getting it all done, so I'm gonna keep sharing on topics of interest to you.
I am posting this now to give you a heads up on the new changes and also to ask you a question, "What kind of content would you like to see on SistaSense.com?" Let me know, by clicking here and posting a comment on that page and I'll rub my genie lamp (aka my computer screen) to make some things happen.
That's the new and here is the old. I wanted to quickly share this info for those of you who are itching to join my SistaSense Circle and/or saving up to get access to the replays of our 1st session entitled: "How to Improve Your Sales and Visibility online." This session is particularly useful if you need to get focused and figure out what you are really suppose to be doing when you spend all those hours online trying to market your business.
I have 10 "Need It Now" promo codes so you can get in now for $47. When you click the option to join, remember to use this promo code: NOW47.
If you'd like to schedule a consultation, which is not included in the replay package, this is what I am doing now. I am gifting a 60 minute consultation to you if you register for the regular $97 before October 4th, 2010. If you register at this rate, send me an email (lhenry@sistasense.com) and include your consultation redemption code (CALL97). Think of the consultation as my BONUS gift to you for signing up to the circle, so in addition to listening to all the replays we can sit down and talk more about what you can do with your online business (signup details here).
But of course, I have one more thing to share because even when I say I'm done ... I'm not done. (lol). I've received several messages from my fellow business sistas who've fallen on hard times and desperately want to get into the circle, but can't do it just yet. If you currently don't have the means to join, remember there is still time to join the Sistas Who Sell Seven Day Challenge which is 7 days of audio and bonus video from me about internet marketing and sales basics. Its only $7 to sign up for the 7 Day Challenge. Now you can't beat that with a bat! (lol). There is absolutely no reason you can't get access to my web coaching material.
Alright, so I want to know what you want to see on sistasense. Post your two cents in the comment box here then figure out which SistaSense Session is right for you right now ... $7 option, $47 option, $97 option. All giving you the chance to virtually pick my brain and learn some new things about how I manage to market online for little to no cost, consistently increase my online sales, and get all this great buzz! TYL -lh
In between working on web project for clients, I try and keep up with your questions. I recently noticed this question in my inbox:
Black Enterprise Women's Conference: Hi LaShanda, When is the next conference or any women's conference and where will they be held? Are there any conferences coming up in the Dallas Texas area? Please let me know. I am really trying to network and get my books and my magazine out there. Any advice? I appreciate it very much. -SRMy response was in this discussion: Upcoming Events for Business Women: Retreats, Summits, and Conferences As you know, my BIG event right now is my Sistas Who Sell - 7 Day Challenge for Women Entrepreneurs Online. I will keep you posted on any events that I find, via the BBWO discussion group above. FYI: I will be attending Blogalicious Weekend 2010 in South Beach Miami in a few days. (shhh don't tell) lol ... seriously though... if you will be there then look out for me. I will write an official I am going to Blogalicous post closer to the event.

Do you want to experience a phenomenal program that will assist you along
with group coaching? Well, I can't believe I'm doing this, however, through
my time with my Co-Partner Father God and deep hearted thinking I am
introducing a scholarship. This is for those of you who have been looking
at this program hearing about this program and praying that you would
somehow be able to participate. That time is now! Go to http://budurl.com/WEMB
and select the Scholarship option. Here's how it will work; the current investment
will remain for the first 10 or until Sunday at midnight PST and it will increase and that will remain for the next 10 until Monday,midnight PST and then the Scholarship option will be removed.
I have been there. Wanting so bad to participate in a program that I knew would
change everything for me and if it weren't for the fre.e Teleseminars and kindness
of some I wouldn't be hear today. Oh and of course my Faith,family and favor of God.
As soon as I was able to invest I did because I knew that would be a direct
reflection on how God would allow women to invest with me.
It's never too late to redeem your dreams. ~ Sharon Williams

5. Contact and/or introduce yourself to 2 professors, career development staff, program adviser/guidance counselor & students within the major you are interested in. Ask them for a phone conference or face to face meeting. Ask them for feedback about their discipline. A. What they like about it? B.What they don’t? C.Why do they teach this discipline?/ Or why did you pick this major? D. Where have their students’ gone or professional fields they have chosen with this major? E.

http://www.sru.edu/pages/534.asp http://www.rileyguide.com/careers.html
7. Take an assessment (Jung Typology) *think about the results & talk to someone you think may be able to share further insight like a career counselor, parent, teacher)
8. Once you’ve narrowed down your search based on these things, contact the Career Office or your Guide Counselor or Admissions Counselor for more information
9. Go back to Academic Services or Career Development to share your information and be determined to make a decision.
10. Finally, know that no-matter what you choose that if you choose another career path in the end that is okay. For example: my boss in Finance was an English Major, an Accountant I met started in Marketing. It’s not the end all be all – so just step out on faith, but absolutely include your research, interviewing, and gut and go for it!

Every time you make a decision during the day, ask yourself this question, “Does it take me closer to, or further from my goal?” If the answer is “closer to,’ then you’ve made the right decision. If the answer is “further from,” well, you know what to do.
I (Internal Check) Assess the impact of this change.. Think of the ‘What IFs? What will happen if you achieve your goal? How will you feel if you do not? Are you willing to keep going if it takes you longer than you expected?
