Hello again.
Obama's big day is undoubtedly an historic day for the USA and its people, and, in case our American friends were wondering, for millions if not billions of people worldwide.
Which might make anything else that happens today almost redundant. Sure, a lot of people will be making sure the new president's name features prominently in their emails, blog posts and so on, but their messages will mostly still be drowned out today.
So, why bother posting anything today?
Well, life, and even business, goes on. Special offers don't disappear for a day, to magically reappear tomorrow, the world economy might hold its breath for a moment or two, but the 'crisis' carries on. People still eat, drink, sleep, work, make love, care for their children and so on.
And today's posts will still be there tomorrow, for Google, which never sleeps, to spider, index and rate.
I just banked a commission cheque from Armand Morin's Generator Software, my Niche Seminar Secrets One-Dollar Trial is still open and I'm still available to help, advise and support anyone who asks me.
I've been reading up on economics lately - who hasn't? - and I understand more than I did a few weeks ago. I'm more sure than ever that the free market works, by and large, to improve the lives of those it touches. It doesn't hurt to revisit the arguments, though, to see how it might work better for more people.
Meanwhile, business, as I say, goes on.

Why Barack Obama Won
Hello again.
Could you be the next Barack Obama?
Probably not - but you could be every bit as successful in your own way, once you understand exactly why Obama beat John McCain and Sarah Palin to become the next president of the USA.
That a man with so little experience was able to beat a respected veteran politician into second place is largely down to a quality that has seen him compared with John Kennedy.
Call it presence, charisma, stature or oratory skill, the fact is that Obama, for all his undoubted qualities, has overcome the odds thanks to his ability to engage his public by speaking to them in a way that makes people like, admire and respect him. In short, Barack Obama is a great public speaker. It's probably a gift, and it's reinforced by his undoubted intelligence and even a sense of destiny, but it's still a skill that we can all become better at.
And you don't have to be on a podium to benefit from confident public speaking, as Obama has shown us: working a crowd - networking to you and me - also helps separate the winners from the runners-up.
Probably the world's most famous expert of the art of speaking to a public is Dale Carnegie - there can't be many people who haven't at least heard of How to Make Friends and Influence People. But Dale Carnegie was expounding on the art of public speaking years earlier.
Now you can read his original masterpiece on the subject, called The Art of Public Speaking, when you accept my offer of three more modern volumes on the topic of success through public speaking, below:
To your success!

PS. Ok, you will not become the next president of the USA but you will get a lot nearer to being the best that you can be, when you read The Art of Public Speaking.
