October 2011 – Apple – Notebook – 4 GB RAM – MacOS – Intel CPU – 500 GB disk – 2.4 GHz CPU – With DVD Drive – 1280 x 800 – Touchpad – Widescreen – With Built-in Camera – 4.4 pound – 7 hour battery

MacBook Pro is machined from a single piece of aluminum, an engineering breakthrough that replaced many parts with just one. It’s called the unibody. And the first time you pick up a MacBook Pro you’ll notice the difference it makes. The entire enclosure is thinner and lighter than other notebooks. It looks polished and refined. And it feels strong and durable – perfect for life inside (and outside) your briefcase or backpack.

To be the best leader you need to serve others in the way you’d want them to serve you. Remove the road blocks, offer praise for good works, embrace those whom sometimes offer challenges, be quick to listen to all sides of an issue, be a generous giver, mentor those under you, encourage greatness, offer changes for the better, and don’t take shortcuts. Don’t be fooled by suck ups and kiss butts, they’re turncoats and backstabbers, they do it all to get their own way and they’ll do you in when the opportunity arises, don’t accept the yes men as looking out for your interest. Be the undercover boss, check in on the worker bees, get some face time with various people along the chain, and don’t ever play favorites. Good leaders build good teams, and together they all do good work. Don’t create a vertical structure, build competencies across the board and become the top of your industry with a solid team for your foundation and have qualified people making your company strong from the bottom up. Every worker is important, every job helps the others function, put efficiency into every level your company and it will function to efficiency as a whole. Bad business structures tend to have greed, and power as the main drive of its leaders, and tend to have a network of people scratching and clawing to get up the ladder, and for them to just to find that the ladder has either been pulled up, or it’s missing its rungs. I hope to offer some practical business & leadership advice, considering I’ve witness and partaken in, the what not to do to be successful in business 101.  You can never be a victim if you have a choice in the matter, so choose to make a difference and matter to the people that do the work for you.

Wow, I’m staying busy!

Thank you all for your comments on my blog and site!

I really appreciate all the positive feedback!

In the past I mainly used my blog to advertise my business, but I’d like to start helping other noobs and techs with some useful free info! More so the Debian stuff!

Thank you again for your support!

I was very skeptical of free software on the web, however the program called CCleaner, has won me over to all the products from Piriform. CCleaner is great for clearing all temp data, cookies and repairing registry problems. Great products from Piriform
