While at the Pacific Ocean the other day, penning this article,
I watched a homeless man dig inside a garbage can and ferret out
a thrown away bag of fast food. Of course, I felt moved to give
him a small token, but it made me reflect. What if he had
attended The Small Business Success Summit? Perhaps his life
would have been different. He could have learned from Ted
Nicholas, known as the 4 billion dollar man,
(www.TedNicholas.com) and Joel Christopher,
(www.JoelChristopher.com) called The Master List Builder
(www.masterlistbuilder.com), how to start a business from
scratch. Instead of giving him a fish, he could have been given
a fishing rod.

No doubt about it, this conference, held on 10-10-03 to 10-12-03
at the Airport Marriot in the sparkling San Francisco Bay area,
headed by Superstar Speakers, Ted Nicholas and Joel Christopher,
delivered what the two men promised. Not only was the Conference
taped on video, it was broadcasted live to the world on the
Internet.

The Summit was considered a success by all the attendees, as
well as by the people who watched the event globally. Promoted
as “The impossible-to-fail small business success system that
will build the Million Dollar Empire you have always dreamed
of,” it met the intended objectives and more. The three-day
conference provided life-transforming information, and hands on,
experiential exercises. This groundbreaking, history-making
event of the new millennium was the best seminar we ever
attended.

In addition to many technical and inside secrets as to how to
make your words sell, one of the main themes Ted Nicholas
emphasized was this: integrity always remains in style. In light
of the many big business scandals, Nicholas’s philosophies were
truly refreshing. To give you an insight into this great man’s
longstanding success, here are just a few of the business
principles of which he spoke.

1. Make all your dealings win/win. Do not take advantage of
other businesses when their chips are down. 2. If you
unwittingly under charge for a job, in the name of keeping a
good business ethic, eat the loss. Don’t try to mark up the
price after agreeing on a lower price. 3. Keep your word, at all
costs, to build trust with your customers. 4. You can build a
great business without being a workaholic. He addressed the need
for balance in the areas of health, spirituality, and
relationships. 5. Finally, use magic words when it comes to
getting people to buy your products or do business with you.
From Joel Christopher, who proudly tells you of his Filipino
heritage and, in spite of the language barrier, the success he
has had in the United States, we saw up close:

1. How you can make $31,000 Swiss dollars in 24 hours on the
Internet. 2. How to build your online business with offline
marketing. 3. The secret method he used that has helped him to
create joint ventures with many of the top leaders in the
internet marketing field. 4. The secrets of how he tripled his
opt-in list in 99 days. 5. The autohumanization factor that
makes a difference in all relationship capital.

In the end, we left the seminar exhausted, but exhilarated about
the possibilities we now face and the tools we had been given to
grow our small businesses into million dollar empires. With this
in mind, I want to be one of the caring people with an abundance
who will be able to help with the world’s homeless and hunger
problem.

Auto liability insurance is a legal term that refers to the responsibility a person has for someone else’s loss or injury. Questions about car liability are typically settled in courts, and settlements can run into several thousands of dollars. So having an auto insurance policy with liability quote to protect you is a good idea.

Commercial auto liability insurance is an important safeguard for your car. If you or an employee is sued following a serious accident, car liability insurance protects your company’s assets. Auto liability insurance policies have limits. The limit is the total amount of money the policy will pay out to cover you.There are two different kinds of liability auto policies:

Combined Single Limit policies cover damage to property and bodily injury in one policy.

Split Limit policies have separate amounts of coverage for property damage and bodily injury.

The coverage for bodily injury is also often split. You can get coverage on a maximum payment per person or maximum payment per accident basis.

Usually, the higher the limit on general liability insurance policy, the more that policy will cost you. So before you buying a liability policy, consider how much protection you need. And think about how much you can afford. Like buying any other insurance policy, you want to find a balance between your car insurance coverage needs and your budget.

Business auto liability insurance covers the financial responsibility if you or an employee is at fault in a traffic accident and people are injured or property is damaged. A minimum amount of automotive liability insurance (or proof of financial responsibility) is required in most states. Some states also require underinsured motorist and uninsured motorist coverage to protect you when the other driver at fault is unable to pay the total cost. By the way, collision and comprehensive car insurance coverage is often optional.

Is minimum commercial automobile liability coverage enough?

Minimum required auto insurance coverage varies by state, and typically is the same for both personal and commercial car liability insurance policies. Many companies opt for coverage above the minimal levels required by many states. What’s the reason? If an injured party chooses to sue for a larger amount than is covered by a minimal policy, it could seriously threaten many small businesses.

The HTC Touch Pro2 is one of the latest touchscreen phones from HTC, it was released in 2009 in the UK and has quickly become one of the most popular mobile phones for business users. 

HTC may not be one of the best known smartphone manufacturers but this business mobile phone can certainly compete with the likes of RIM’s Blackberry phones as well as the i-Phone from Apple.

The last few Windows Mobile phones from HTC have basically been updates of its main models – the style-conscious Diamond2 and now the business mobile phone behemoth – HTC Touch Pro2 with its slide-out QWERTY keyboard.

HTC, a Chinese brand have a strong past record and have proven themselves as leaders in innovation with mobile phones for business and individual users – check out their credentials here.

The HTC Touch Pro2 is a fair bit bigger than the Diamond2 and a little heavier to boot – 116x59x17mm and 179g, but it does have a bigger and better tilting touch screen as well as an improved interface as a good justification, it also has a new conference call facility named ‘Straight Talk’.

It is not a cheap phone by any means – you will be paying top end prices for this mobile but it does deliver on almost every level – the main downfall being the quality of the 3.2 megapixel camera.

But don’t be put off by the size – unless you are a skinny jeans kind o’ guy/girl, it’s a stylish and flashy mobile phone.

The front of the phone is exceptionally sleek with just four hard keys that raise above the screen level that sit along the bottom of the screen: call start and stop/home, back and Windows.

The sides are not overloaded with buttons – just a volume switch, reset slot and stylus on the right, power button on top and USB 2.0 power/headphone socket on the bottom. The 3.2 megapixel camera lens is situated on the back of the phone, and alongside this sit the microphone and the large Straight Talk speaker for conference calls, as well as a mute button.

The HTC Touch Pro2′s has a slide out QWERTY keyboard on the left of the phone. There are 5 rows of keys which are not disimilar to a standard computer keyboard. The keys on the keyboard are little rounded hardened bits of rubber that are backlit and are well spaced enough for fast accurate typing – the extra size suddenly seems worth it – if you are a heavy business user of your phone then this will be a big plus.

The Touch Pro2′s screen tilts so you can put the phone on a desk and type on the keyboard – which is a nice touch as it tilts to about 45 degrees. There is also an onscreen keyboard so if you prefer this then it is there but we found that the QWERTY was a lot easier and faster so little need for the touch screen.

The interface is well laid out too, with large numbers, and can predict phone numbers that you have previously used after you have typed the first few digits which can be a handy time saver. It has been specifically designed with conference calls in mind and it’s easy to set up multi-party calls.

You just need to register for this service with your network before you can use it. You just set the call up, and then put the phone face down on a desk so that the big, loud, noise-cancelling Straight Talk speaker is visible.

On the back there is also a useful mute button with a glowing colour indicator to show whether or not it is in use. The HTC Touch Pro2′s has a 3.6-inch with a resolution of 480×800 pixels. It’s got a bright, sharp and clear picture, and it also has all of the Windows Mobile options for dimming and limiting backlight to save on battery life.

You can also rotate the screen round to show in landscape.

The level of sensitivity of the keys is just about right – we didn’t have any problems with mistaken presses or missed swipes on scrolls. The sensitivity cannot be adjusted but it is set well so you should find this not a problem. HTC are constantly improving the TouchFLO 3D interface, on top on the Windows 6.1 Professional operating system.

You can stroke across the entire home screen to access each of the different functions. If you press the start button then you can bring up all of your shortcuts as well as 30 different apps.

It also has a scrolling menu which works similarly to that of the i-phone with large icons which can be easily accessed with the thumb – so not much need for the little stylus. The phone was pretty good on the web with a good sized screen for viewing sites.

It comes preloaded with Opera, but you can also use IE, and access is fast via Wi-Fi or HSDPA 3G link (with up to 7.2Mbps download).

The accelerometer switches the screen to landscape mode when you turn the phone on its side. This also happens when you open up the QWERTY keyboard. You can tap the screen twice for a zoom on web pages and can easily scroll around with your finger and switch sites easily. Web pages are rendered extremely well – the majority of sites appeared perfectly.

There is an RSS hub to keep you up to date as well as a YouTube app. The camera is not a great one; if used in good light then the quality is OK but if used indoors with artificial light then it is not the best. It has autofocus, a 2x digital zoom, some colour effects, a panorama setting, ten-second timer and touch screen focus.

If you need a quality camera for business mobile use then this will probably be a killer for the Touch Pro2 but for light users it will just about do. The HTC Touch Pro2 is perfect for Watching video.

The screen is only 0.2in smaller than the Touch HD, but has the same pixel resolution and it is difficult to spot any difference in quality. You can watch a wide range of video and media formats; WMV, ASF, MP4, 3GP, 3G2, M4V, AVI You can use Windows Media Player for music, and there’s a ten-band graphic equaliser with 21 presets to help you get the sound you want. It supports a good range of formats: AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, AMR-NB, AMR-WB, QCP, MP3, WMA, WAV, MIDI, M4A.

There is no FM radio but the sound on the music player is pretty good – supplied headphones are not bad but probably not as good as the ones with the i-phone. We found that for business mobile phone users to get your email set up is very easy – you simply need your email address and password. The htc Touch Pro2 has quad-band GSM, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth (with stereo A2DP) and USB 2.0, as well as a TV out facility.

For business mobile phone users who are regularly out of the office for meetings – the Touch Pro2 comes with GPS and Google Maps, both of which work very well. There’s no sat nav included but you can pay for inclusion but will be lucky to find this for less than the £60 cost through the i-phone app. Windows Office and Adobe Reader are pre-installed, this means that you can create and view Word, Excel and OneNote docs, as well as view PowerPoint docs and PDFs. But… there’s also JETCET Presentation, which allows you to edit PowerPoint docs.

For business users there is also instant messaging with Windows Live Messenger, some Java games, including Teeter, stock quotes, weather updates and a calendar. The HTC Touch Pro2 has 512MB of memory with 288MB of RAM, and you can add up to 16GB with a microSD card.

The battery should give you 510 minutes of talk time (GSM) and up to 750 hours of standby according to HTC but we found that we gor just over 2 days with typical business use of all functions.

All round this is a great mobile phone for the business user – it has really taken a step up from the diamond2 which is saying something. This is a company to watch!

If you are keen to buy this mobile phone then there are some great deals available through our site – at time of writing the prices started at £25/month based on 1 handset so depending on your size you may be able to barter down from this price.
