As all users of Microsoft Exchange Server are aware, they can either work with their mailbox on the server in the online mode or the cached mode. The biggest advantage of working in the cached mode is that it allows users to continue working with data from the mailbox as though they were still connected to the server even though they may be offline. Outlook creates an offline storage file, OST file and then copies the content of the mailbox on the server into this file. Mobile users can then ...

Every year over 400,000 people start a business with the hope of
being a successful entrepreneur in the UK alone. Clearly the
number started globally must run into millions. Unfortunately
only 20% of those companies will survive long enough to
celebrate their 5th anniversary and only 20% of those will
survive long enough to celebrate their 10th anniversary.
To save you doing the math, only 4% of all new companies formed
will survive at least 10 years. For anyone contemplating

The life cycle of the typical small business is short and
painful. It starts out with a dream and ends with a whimper. And
in between, a struggle of Herculean proportions is played out as
the owner tries to figure out why the business isn't succeeding.
Depending on which survey you read, up to 80% of small
businesses fail. Most fail within the first five years and those
who survive the first five are often losing money. Pursuing a
career in small business ownership seems like a fool's ...

Updating my will has been on my mind for quite some time now.
Life circumstances change, kids grow-up, financial situations
changes. I procrastinated for a very long time about this will.
Now that it is, I feel very satisfied and pleased. There is

It's important from time to time that we sit down and honestly
assess our lives. Doing so allows us to make an honest
determination about where we are now and where we want to be in
the future. When we're assessing our finances, we prepare a
financial balance sheet. On it we list our debits and credits so
that we can determine our bottom line. What if you wanted to

1."WE ALL NEED SOMEBODY TO LEAN ON" One of our primary needs as
human beings is to feel the support of those around us. Ideally,
we need to be nurtured and encouraged by our nuclear family
first and then by an ever-widening circle of relatives, friends
and teachers. Without that support, we tend to be less willing
to try new things or stretch out of our comfort zones and live
our dreams. Too frequently the gifted artist does not hear, "I
really think you can do it" but rather, "You know artists ...

- no whining

If you will just get these three things out of your life RIGHT
NOW, your life will change instantly for the better.

At a Chamber of Commerce Business Card Exchange several years
ago a well-dress woman walked up to me, business card in hand
and, in perfect form held it in both hands in front of me,
gesturing for me to take it. I took the card from her and
smiled. She looked up and in a polite voice, said "Thank you,"
and walked away. How sad. Here was this obviously
