Good Times...Bad Times

Posted 10-06-2008 at 04:33 PM by Keith Boisvert (OFFLINE Wealth)

Aside from it being the title of this post and a Led Zeppelin song, I think it is applicable to today's social climate.

I am not going to sit here and lecture on whether the country(US) is in a recession, depression or just chugging along nice and steady. I will however make some observations on local businesses in my area, and how it effects me.

As most of you know, I still work on occasion for a local electrician. Lately I work less and less, partly because I am busy,...

Niche Portals

Auto Classifieds.

There are tons of software out there that you can upload to your server and start you on your way. You can literally be up and running from SCRATCH in about 4 hours.

Offline Wealth Part II

Posted 08-06-2008 at 04:17 PM by Keith Boisvert (OFFLINE Wealth)
