1) ======= Flight Lines =======
[Observations on business and life]

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in
nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience
it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than
outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure,
or nothing. --Helen Keller

"Fortune befriends the bold." --John Dryden

By taking bold decisive action, you can achieve results
others only wish for. The success of bold action depends
upon careful execution of a precise plan.

2) ======= Wing Tips =======
[A variety of business helps and tips]

Create a Password Reset Disk for Windows XP

One of the worst things that can happen as a user is to
forget your password and not be able to log on to your
computer, especially if it's in a work environment.

Some times after a vacation or a long absence, people do
forget their passwords.

When working with Windows XP Professional, as a local user
in a workgroup environment, create your own password reset
disk so that you can log onto your computer, should you
ever forget your password.

Go to Start / Control Panel / User Accounts.
Click your account name.
Under Related Tasks, click "Prevent a forgotten password".
Follow the directions in the Forgotten Password Wizard and
create a password reset disk.

Make sure you store the disk in a secure location, as anyone
with access to the disk could log in to your local user
account. Oh, and don't forget where you put the disk!

"Top Ten Reasons To Secure Your Business"
By Ralph Moore

There are many good reasons for securing your business.
Based on my experience, here are the top ten.

10. Increase Business Efficiency:

There is a common misconception that businesses that invest
in security are wasting money which could better be spent
on improving their bottom line.

The fact of the matter is, businesses that spend wisely on
securing their assets are more profitable in the long run.

9. Help Your Business Survive:

In some cases the very survival of your business may depend
upon it's security. Many business owners have been unable
to recover from the loss of a building (or other assets)
due to arson or criminal mischief.

8. Protect Your Customers:

Customers need to feel safe, whether it's the physical
location of your building, or the trust that they place
in your ability to maintain their information in a secure
manner.

Your customers are your greatest asset. Without them you
have no business. They deserve and need to be protected,
whatever the cost.

7. Protect Your Employees:

Employees are more productive when assured of a safe and
secure working environment. Investing in the safety of
your employees will pay you back "tenfold" or more.

No one wants to be forced to work in an unsafe or unsecure
area, and believe me when employees talk, everyone listens.

Take care of your employees and make sure that they are
saying good thing about you and your business.

6. Protect Proprietary Information:

Many businesses depend upon proprietary information to set
themselves apart from others in the market place. By failing
to secure such assets, a business is courting disaster.

5. Increase Your Market Share:

In many cases, markets are closed to firms that are unable
to conduct their business in a secure manner. Acquiring
government contracts, for example, often depends upon the
basic security qualifications of your business.

By increasing the level of your security, you will be able
to reach new markets where security is a basic necessity.

4. Build More Customer Trust:

Customers often take security for granted, that is until
the first time there is any hint or a problem. By then,
it's too late. Loss of customer trust can severly cripple
a business.

3. Reduce Your Liability:

By increasing your security, you may not only reduce your
liability in the event of a security breach, but you may
qualify for lower insurance premiums as well.

Remember that the law looks at intent. Should liability
ever become an issue for your business, your intentions
in securing your business for your customers and for
your employees, may play a big part in the outcome of
the matter.

2. Reduce Your Costs:

Studies have shown that the more secure a business is, the
more likely it is to pay attention to the details in every
aspect of its operation. Simply put, secure businesses enjoy
a better bottom line.

1. Increase Income:

By securing your business and protecting its assets,
your business will become more profitable over the long
term.

Summary:

There are many reasons to secure your business, but by
paying attention to these top ten, it's obvious that
securing your business makes sense.

Take a good look at your overall security today, and make
the necessary changes to increase security and improve the
effectiveness of your business.

[Sites and services that we recommend]

"Worst Case Scenario Web Site"

Stretch. Take a break and visit a site that has little
to do with work. Sometimes "worst case scenarios" in
business aren't really all that bad after all.

6) ======= From the Bench =======
[Real-life accounts of hardware, software and more]

Heads up from the bench! I will be going into much more
detail in future articles, but you need to start paying
very close attention NOW to the old "network marketing"
models of "yesteryear".

If you think this has nothing to do with your "brick and
mortar" business, think again. As a rather famous singer
once said... "The times they are a a'changin..."!

And the time is now.

[Ideas to inspire better communication]

A farmer used a stone and a scale to measure his grain.
One day when his neighbor returned the stone that he had
borrowed, it was broken into four pieces. The neighbor said
he was sorry, but the farmer thanked him doing him a favor.

The farmer could now measure his grain, a pound at a time,
from one pound all the way up to forty pounds.

How much did each stone weigh?

Answer to Last Issue's Puzzler...

[The rich man was told that if he ever wanted to see his
son again, to bring a certain diamond to a phone booth in
the center of a very public park. Undercover policemen
watched intently as the scene unfolded.

Arriving at the park, the rich man went to the phone booth
and followed his instructions precisely.

Why were the police unable to keep the diamond from leaving
the park and being delivered to the kidnapper?]

When the rich man got to the phone booth, he discovered a
carrier pigeon in a cage. The attached note told him to put
the diamond in a bag which was hooked to the pigeon's neck,
and to let the pigeon go.

When he followed the instructions, the police could not keep
the diamond from leaving the park.
