Hello Adlanders,

            Welcome back to the BFA newsletter! There have been quite a few changes to the community and I know most members have had a few weeks to familiarize themselves with the new look of the community and some are still adjusting to the changes.

Adlandpro understands that people in general are genuinely adverse to change and no one likes being taken out of their comfort zone because of these changes or different styles; however our goal was to make the Adlandpro Community more efficient, effective and contemporary to today’s standards. Let me take you through just a few of the changes we have made and you will see that you will be able to navigate and communicate far more effectively.

The first thing you will notice is you can now access everything you need through your Adland Member Home page, it’s designed so you are never more than two clicks away from a feature or service.

Here are some of the more notable and popular features that members can take advantage of:

Find old friends and introduce yourself to new friends. Now you can access friends like never before. On your Friends page use convenient tabs to view friends online, their upcoming birthdays or friends in your area and the popular new feature is the New Members tab, this allows you to see the newest members to the Adlandpro community. Check it out! 

Find Friends Online. Your people search to look for other people that use the site that you already know (or perhaps, that you'd like to know) and invite them to be a friend today. Check it out!

Tell us where you live? By telling us what city you live in, you'll be able to get quicker access to classifieds, groups, events, and forums, as well as find people in your city already using our site. Check it out!

Participate in our forums, or just read what others are saying? Participate today in one of the fastest growing communities out there, and make a name for yourself! Check it out!

Place a free ad. Whether you're looking for personals, real estate, a new job, or any number of other things, a free classified on our site is one of the best ways to spread the word. Check it out!

Online Chat, new and improved. You can see which of your friends is online and engage in a chat session, it is located by the bright yellow box in the bottom right corner of the page.

Sharing your interests and find people interested in the same things. When you indicate your interests, we can display YOU and your business all over the community to people who have the same interests and this in turn will bring you traffic to your website. Thus you can meet people who share your interests, and work together on Adlandpro Community.     

You will see the Adland Bulletin newsletter with an updated look and after a brief hiatus, the obvious return of the BFA newsletter.

Once you get accustomed to effortless navigation and the ability to access the features quickly, you will see that it is straightforward and far more effective. These types of changes in the navigation of the Adland Community will draw new members and more interest.

By making the community user friendly to everyone, both old and new members, increases the overall total of members involved and is a contributing factor to your level of success.

Regards,

Barry Scott

Knowing when to quit

By Roger Macdivitt

Some people are quitters and everybody knows who they are. We all know those who just never finish what they start.

Ok, so some things aren’t that important. That’s a decision we have to make and that is fine. If it is happening to you regularly and these are non-important things then you need to take a little more time to think about what you undertake.

No, I’m talking here about the decisions we make,  those that we expect to make a difference to our lives. If we spend time and money on a scheme and it doesn’t work, we need to take a look at why. Are we using all of the tools we need? Are we putting in the time and effort necessary? Are we seeking advice and accepting offers of help? Are we seeing others succeed where we don’t?

If the answer to these questions is yes, and you are still not making the progress that you want, then it’s time to consider (sorry, got to say it) quitting.

Maybe you joined a program to support somebody? If it’s going nowhere, neither are you, or indeed, them. Maybe you re-invented yourself? If it didn’t work then maybe you picked the wrong choice for you. You must be able to accept your own errors of judgement or timing.

I have joined lots of programs and done nothing with them. Who hasn’t?       The difference is this;

I probably thought that this project might add a new dimension to my businesses. Maybe I saw something that would be easy to do. Perhaps everyone else was doing this, so why not me?     Familiar?

Now let’s get to the point. Are you doing something that you have exhausted all avenues in an attempt to succeed at? Are you still doing something that has taken a huge amount of time, energy and money from you, and for what?  Yes?

Time to quit.

When Winston Churchill said the famous words “Never, never, never give up” he meant on yourself, on your dream, on your salvation.

Knowing  “when to quit”  and doing it doesn’t mean you are a quitter.

Swallow that pride, take a look at your life, make a decision about what you want, and pursue that dream with passion.

If you decide upon a dream and ask for the right doors to open, you will succeed. Quitting won’t even figure in your future. If you’re not one of life’s quitters you will never quit believing in yourself.
