You’ve heard it said that effective partnering can help us achieve a particular task or activity we cannot accomplish on our own in a reasonable amount of time, by providing the skills, experience and expertise we may be lacking.
A partner can be anyone; a long-time business associate, a spouse, coach, even a short time advisor. A partner can be a mentor, councillor, employee, even a friend or personal relation. It is someone you trust to help you accomplish something that you cannot do by yourself.
But when looking for a partner, it’s important to identify the right person to fit your needs. So what are the warning sign we should beware of? In the book of Proverbs, King Soloman, the richest and wisest man who ever lived provides insight into what makes a good – and bad partner.
Here are the seven warning signs that should leave you packing your bags and walking the other way from a potentially BAD partner…
A bad partner is someone who:
- Shows a lack of integrity (29:24)
- Has a quick temper or deep-seated anger (22:24)
- Displays a pattern of foolish behaviour (14:7)
- Offers much for little, or is into ‘get rich quick’ schemes (25:19, 28:22)
- Uses an excessive use of flattery (29:5)
- Has an inclination to gossip or exaggerate (20:19)
- Shows a disregard for rules, regulations, laws, or personal boundaries (28:7)
When seeking out your next partner, do your due diligence to ensure that, not only do you have a partner but that you have the right partner for the task at hand.
EVERYBODY!!!
Have you ever found a really cool website that claims to give you FREE stuff, clicked page after page, given out your name and email address, and read sales letter page after sales letter page only to discover that the stuff is not really FREE?! Well my friend you're not alone – it's happened to the best of us. There are literally thousands of websites out there all claiming to give out free stuff – but at what cost? They tack on outrageous shipping and handling charges, crazy membership fees, and other assorted hidden costs that no doubt cover the cost of their product, so the stuff you think you're getting for FREE is not really FREE at all!
While looking to build my blog and websites, I came across a really cool e-book on building a WordPress Affiliate Blog web site that was totally FREE. I checked out the book and the information was awesome. I was able to download the book without giving them my name, email or anything! So this made me think that it would be really cool to have a fun club, totally devoted to absolutely FREE stuff! No Strings attached!
Launch Now! has dedicated this post to bringing you all the cool, awesome and useable FREE stuff we find on the internet. As I said, most times this free stuff is not really FREE, so don't expect to see a lot of content. But since we work on the computer and we are on line regularly, reasearching and investigating, we do come across some great FREE products and services from time to time. Any time I find something that is totally FREE, I will post it here. So be sure to bookmark this site or subscribe to our RSS feed and visit often.
And hey, if you have FREE products or services to offer, then kindly leave the details in the comments section so I can check it out before posting because as I said, if you find it here, it's because it is TOTALLY FREE! No strings Attached! (And in case you’re wondering, I am not an affiliate to any of these products so I am not making any cash from giving you these links. They are totally SAFE and FREE, from you from me. Enjoy!

When Angelo Tersigni of All-Pro Landscaping and Carpentry Ltd. needed a website with a built-in content management system simple enough to self-manage; an online presence that offers prospective clients the convenience of viewing on-line portfolios, all at an affordable price that wouldn’t break the bank, they came to the Sweet Spot Training Centre (SSTC) for assistance. What they received was far more than they expected – to be listed on Page 1 of Google – 2nd from the top in only 3 weeks!
Renovating your home, either inside or out is a big decision and is one not one to be taken lightly. Add to that some tough economic times and it’s no surprise that more and more people are relying on personal testimonies, referrals and “I’ll believe it when I see it” mentalities when considering new companies to hire. Nobody wants a company to tell them what they can do; they want to see for themselves what the company has done for others and therefore believe what it can also do for them. Having the ability to view the workmanship beforehand also helps to build trust, empowering them with the knowledge of where to go for first class service and quality workmanship when they need it. With over 75% of all households currently using the internet to source out local businesses that meet their needs, Angelo Tersigni of All Pro Landscaping and Carpentry Ltd. wanted to leverage the online market to showcase their spectacular work and let visitors see first-hand the honesty, integrity, and quality workmanship that All Pro represents, as a professional member of Landscape Ontario.
The entire web site was built – from concept, through design to launch in only 2 weeks, complete with six customized photo galleries, specially designed buttons, and a beautiful video on their home page to showcase the exquisite work that All Pro clients have come to know and expect; but that’s not all. The built-in scalability allows the site to expand and grow, while spam filters and a captcha function ensure hackers and spammers cannot gain access to web files. In addition to what visitors can see, the internet marketing and SEO specialists at SSTC implemented optimization strategies built right into the site itself, that resulted in having this web site listed in Google in only 2 weeks; an extraordinary accomplishment, given that most sites take from 3 to 6 – and sometimes 9 months to be listed with this search engine giant. Only 1 week after the official launch and out of a total of 21,900,000 related pages, “All Pro Landscaping” lands 2nd from the top!
"Hey guys! Hurray!!! Looks great! Thanks so much for a fabulous job, and so quick!" Ann & Angelo Tersigni, All-Pro Landscaping.ca
In addition to Google, the fully optimized web site contains other hidden SEO tactics that will quickly see higher search engine rankings in other Google search criteria and other search engines very soon, in addition to drawing in more organic prospects by increasing visitors to their site, all at a cost that fits within their budget. In fact, when it comes to building and optimizing web sites, Sweet Spot Training Centre is the best price-for-value company on the internet today. Launch Now! wishes to welcome All Pro Landscaping. Ca to the internet community with their beautiful web site full of optimization strategies that fully meets their needs for today, while enabling room to grow for tomorrow.

Introducing an entirely new breakthrough in dust mite, pollutant and allergen protection that is sweeping the nation clean! Waterbed and Futon proudly launches their new line of Healthy Bed Protection, available exclusively at: www.HealthyBedProtection.com .
According to recent information published, allergies are becoming the #1 most common ailment in North America, affecting 1 out of every 3 people. That means if you live in a household with 3 or more people, at least 1 or more of you will have some level of allergic reation, with the most common of all allergents being common dust (which contains live, active dust mites, pictured here.)
Using a revolutionary new process, the newly featured Health Guard mattress and pillow covers provide unprecedented protection and quality for you and your loved ones. Both mattress pads and pillow covers are available in a variety of quilted, cotton, terry, foam and memory foam styles, are machine washable, and developed to perform better than ever at eliminating dust and other allergents that contribute to respiratory illnesses and poor health.
“As we sleep, our bodies give off heat, excrete fluids and shed old skin and hair cells, creating an atmosphere inside our mattress and pillows that is warm, humid, and rich in decaying organic matter… the exact environment where harmful microbes flourish!”
If you think about it, all that sweat from your hair and body is absorbed into your mattress and pillow while you sleep, providing an ideal breeding ground for bacteria, germs and other contaiments to grow… contaminents that you will later breathe in and sleep on and absorb back into your body, through your skin.
Using high quality products like Health Guard mattress covers and pillow protectors are also a good financial investment, since they increase the longevity of your mattress and pillows by protecting them from dirt, spills, accidents, and thus making them last longer. And since their Heath Guard covers are also 100% waterproof, you can rest assured that your mattress investment will be protected during those growth and development (bed wetting) years for young children, as well as alleviate the embarrassment and odour of staining and soiling a mattress from adults suffering from incontinence.

In addition to their vast selection of mattresses, mattress pads, pillows, and pillow protectors available from Healthy Bed Protection.com is their signature line of Anti-Bacterial Spray. Derived from citrus and eucalyptus oils, used for centuries as both anti-bacterial and cleansing agents, this amazing, all natural product will not irritate your skin, eyes or respiratory system.
Use the Health Guard Anti-Bacterial Spray to disinfect and deodorize your mattresses, pillows, air bedding, telephone receivers, door handles, children’s play areas, bathrooms, and all the busy traffic areas in your home, safely and simply. Only Health Guard Anti Bacterial Spray disinfectant is safe to use on all types of plastic, vinyl, metal, as well as for use in air cleaners, purifiers and humidifiers. The places to use this spray are limitless!
Launch Now! is pleased to bring you these exciting new products that will protect and enhance the quality of living for you and your family.
