Real estate investing is universally known to be profitable and sound. Real estate investing typically exceeds the ROI from stock investing. Real estate investing has been historically included in the portfolio of the worlds wealthiest. Best of all, one of the best advantages of real estate investing is that it can be started and operated on a shoestring budget. http://www.real---estate---investing.com/Real-Estate/index1.html
From a lifetime spent in several entrepreneurial enterprises, I started real estate investing after a serious business failure. I had no cash and no credit after my three retail stores failed in a new mall that generated no traffic. Real estate investing appealed to me, so I started buying cheap houses with a $10 bill and a mortgage assumption. I bought $1 million worth of these little houses the first year, and owned $10 million of them in 4 years. Real estate investing made me a multi-millionaire in 3 years. I was recognized in the Wall St. Journal, and awarded a Caribbean cruise as one of the nations top real estate investing entrepreneurs. So I came to really like real estate investing. http://www.real---estate---investing.com/information/

International Stop-Selling Day Declared by the United Professional Sales Association for May 24
The United Professional Sales Association (UPSA) has declared May 24th "International Stop Selling Day" to address the critical professional shortcomings of salespeople due to a lack of customer focus, a standardized ethical code, and global adoption of a buyer’s bill of rights.
"We encourage all salespeople to pause and reflect on their professional responsibilities on International Stop Selling Day. We encourage our members, and implore non-members who consider themselves a sales professional, to participate in this important event. Professionalism requires a proactive approach to increasing professional competence. There is a difference between being a sales person and being a sales professional. We also believe that many salespeople do not receive adequate sales training that focuses on critical competencies required to be productive – and we’re doing something about it by providing real-time access to top-notch sales trainers and thought leaders in a global forum to advance the profession" says Brian Lambert, UPSA Founder and Chairman.
