How Much is Enough
By Marilyn August
Maybe you've heard people complain about not having enough money? Maybe you've even done it a few times yourself? Is your first reaction to hearing the cost of something you want automatically "I can't afford it" or "That's too much money?" This nasty habit sends a powerful message to your subconscious mind. The subconscious mind is the part of your mind that responds immediately to your deepest thoughts. The problem with affirming "not enough" is you get is exactly what you are affirming.

The Importance of Networking
By Wafa R. Musitief
It has been said that the best jobs come from word of mouth. But that's not stopping the thousands of Americans logging on to websites like careerbuilder.com and monster.com, searching for jobs and posting their resumes. The chance of getting a call back is very slim, especially since the average human resources office today is overloaded with hundreds of resumes from other interested candidates. But with no other apparent resources to find work, many are willing to take their chances. Some even invest in fancy resume paper. Yet how much simpler would it be if you had a friend at the company who could recommend you for the position? An inside source who could lead you to the key hiring powers? A shortcut like that could save you valuable time and money in your job hunt.
Experts agree that networking is worth your time and effort and can help you get ahead in the professional world.

Women on the Move
Barbara Clements announces Auditel's new Colorado office
Barbara Clements, president of Auditel Inc., writes, "Auditel Inc. of Florida has grown this past year, and we have opened a new location in Colorado. It is a great experience to work toward a goal and achieve it. With the help of many business referrals we have challenged the phone companies and gained many companies extremely large refunds and monthly savings.
"With the opening of our Colorado office, we have roled out a special site visit program to help companies with any doubts or questions on their telephone and telecom bills. Now we provide a one day customer site visit and review of telecom bills. We make recommendations (not change of carrier) to correct telecom tariff and billing errors and these savings can be realized quickly and made internally to save even more money. Telecom contract review and negotiation skills can be learned during day training as well." WITI congratulates Barbara and Auditel on their success!

Since then, my former client has introduced me to several IT executives at their firm to generate interest in our services, which may lead to new business.
