Alquist have added a new, very affordable service in my Alquist Enterprises consulting practice. <br /><br />Much of my consulting is priced traditionally. I estimate a project fee and<br />establish a payment schedule for the client. <br /><br />Users of consultants are familiar with this arrangement. <br /><br />However, the rise of self-employment brings us many new people seeking various<br />kinds of professional assistance. They need a different kind of consulting and<br />fee arrangement. <br /><br />And so I have added a specific arrangement for them, as potential clients. <br /><br />For a $500 fee, I offer a private, two hour phone call. We can discusss exactly<br />what the client should consider. Typically, this could be a new business startup,<br />purchase or sale of an existing business, or perhaps a turnaround for a faltering<br />business. <br /><br />If the prospective client decides not to move forward, he or she has paid only<br />$500. That’s a large saving over plunging into something and possibly failing.<br /><br />On the other hand, if the prospective client wishes to work with me on his/her<br />project, I will determine the professional fee and deduct the $500 he/she has<br />paid previously. <br /><br />To learn more about this, please click this link: <br /><br /><a href="http://www.tell-it-well.com/business-help-from-john-500-dollars.htm">click here</a><br /><br />Please post a comment here, if you wish.

During the year, of course, I will make additions and minor adjustments.<br /><br />In 2008, I am continuing with my passion--contrasting the exciting 21st Century business world to that of the previous century. The 21st Century increasingly will be based upon almost total self-employment, Internet business proficiency, globalism. It's necessary to take advantage of these changes rather than be harmed by them.<br /><br />That's how I can help you.<br /><br />Since most people are unaware of the radically new requirements for success in 21st Century business, I must do all I can to reach people and help them transistion into the 21st Century world of business.<br /><br />My website is <a href="http://www.tell-it-well.com/page15.htm">http://www.tell-it-well.com/page15.htm</a> . I have added an "Expert" page, since business leaders in the 21st Century are more inclined to seek Experts. That page is at <a href="http://www.tell-it-well.com/expert.htm">http://www.tell-it-well.com/expert.htm</a> .<br /><br />Good news: I have not increased my professional fees for 2008.<br /><br />We've added two new pages to our website showing where I am on the Internet as well as a page for journalists and reporters at <a href="http://www.tell-it-well.com/where-is-john-online.htm">http://www.tell-it-well.com/where-is-john-online.htm</a> (Where is John Online) and well as<br /> <a href="http://www.tell-it-well.com/alquist-news-center.htm">http://www.tell-it-well.com/alquist-news-center.htm</a> (Alquist News Center)<br /><br />I am accepting a number of new clients this year, and I encourage you to contact me to discuss the possibilities.John & Shirley Alquisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14889195667593377805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-90968254430351353.post-62913840160029190362007-09-17T18:50:00.000-04:002007-09-17T19:04:08.272-04:00John Speaks On Self-Employment, Internet Business Proficiency & GlobalismAs a professional speaker, I love to bring people the good news that the Industrial Revolution is dead and the 20th Century is ancient history. These changes spawn a whole new world of nearly universal self-employment, serving global markets. Free trade and Internet business proficiency are huge in the 21st Century.<br /><br />My speaking includes keynote speeches, seminars, college groups, corporate events, business training sessions, network marketing/MLM groups, banks and financial executives, as well as wellness venues.<br /><br />More than likely, I can help you in my professional speaking.<br /><br />Please contact me if you'd like to talk about this.<br /><br />If you have any comments, please post them here.<br /><br />Thank You & Kindest Regards,<br /><br />John J.

I find this pathetic and delusional.<br /><br />Since nobody knows all there is to know about this exiciting new Century--globalism, self-employment, free trade, the ascendency of China and the economic stagnation of many nations--I seek your views on these<br />things--right here on this blog.John & Shirley Alquisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14889195667593377805noreply@blogger.com
