I know businesses should generally be in the habit of making money, but this week I've decided to buck that trend.

At this point I'm almost sure it's psychological, since last week I had the golden touch and this week everything I touch withers and dies. That's just how it goes sometimes.

I have learned a lot in my week of downslides, but all my lessons have involved what not to do. For instance, you must be willing to risk money to make money, but it's called risk for a reason...it's risky.

On a positive note, Overturf Custom Greetings recently launced a radio advertisement campaign directing people to visit www.cardsaremoney.com. We thought cardsaremoney.com would be easier for people to remember than overturfonline.com, especially when they're in their cars. Listen for us if you're in the St. Louis, MO or Milwaukee, Wisconsin areas.

We're in the process of adding a program to reward people that refer our company to others. If you would like more information you can contact me at info@overturfonline.com. It would be a great way for you to earn some extra money doing what you already are...telling others about our wonderful company.

Other news, we've been campaigning for people to get us their list of mailing addresses as soon as possible before the holiday rush. We're anticipating large orders this winter, so the sooner you get us your orders, the better. Not just better for us, but better for you, we have more time available now to help you put together a knock-out mailing program.

On another note, if anyone out there does currency trading, I'm curious for any advice you might have on the subject. Part of my rough week has been due to my interest in this endeavor, and I'm looking to improve my trades. Let me know any advice you might have - info@overturfonline.com. Thanks in advance.

I'll wrap this up with words of encouragement partly directed to myself - "It's always darkest before the light."
I know, I know, very cliché.

Ok, how about this one, I bet you haven't heard it: “Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.” Dale Carnegie

Or what about this gem: "Always borrow money from a pessimist; he doesn't expect to be paid back."

I've got tons of them, I'll stop there.
