Ideally, you will have two types of quotes in your press release. A quote from yourself is mandatory. To give your release extra impact, get a quote from a third-party.Quoting yourself may seem unnatural to you at first, but it’s what every reporter expects. Your quote should be about the information in the press release, not about how great you are. As I always say, the key to getting publicity is to build your story around information, not around yourself.A good quote: “This tip is the single best advice for homeowners,” said local attorney Nicole Jones.A bad quote: “I am the best lawyer in town,” Ms. Jones said.If you are having trouble coming up with a quote, try interviewing yourself.

Introduction

It’s only a small word but it looms very large in the thoughts and the nightmares of many of us. It was Disraeli who said that there are only two things in life that are certain…., “death and taxes”. The good news is that you don’t have to be quite so fatalistic. Like anything in life, you can be a victim, or you can make circumstances work for you. It always helps if you have a good accountant to guide you.

But just because I knew I wasn’t making any money. My mortgage payments were barely covered by the rental income and having not sold any property, there were no capital gains. So why trouble the poor overworked civil servants I thought!

Then house prices went through the roof! I sold a few properties and realised some capital gains, investing most of it back into property. It was only when talking to a tennis friend, who turned out to be an accountant that I started to think I might need to explore the matter a bit mor

Dare to Be Different: The Evolution of an Ezine
As a marketer, and for the record, I do believe that we are all full-time marketers; I am always looking for ways to connect more regularly with and add value to my target audience – I want top-of-mind awareness for myself, my business and my offerings.Now for years, I’ve known that publishing my very own newsletter would be an optimal way to do that and more however, as an innovative marketer, I kept coming back to the fact that there are already a ton of newsletters out there – and some of them are excellent. So I fought the concept of creating one tooth and nail. Did the world really need another newsletter?Then one day I happened to take off my scarcity-mindset hat and put on my abundance-mindset hat and came to the realization that there’s room for all of us out there. So I said to myself, “Why not, there are plenty of potential subscribers available to me; there are over 6 ? billion people in this world! And a portion of those people are meant to hear the information I will provide, from me.”Being an onlin

properties and realised some capital gains, investing most of it back into property. It was only when talking to a tennis friend, who turned out to be an accountant that I started to think I might need to explore the matter a bit more carefully. A holiday to Australia in which I took along a copy of the Zurich Tax Handbook as a bit of ‘light reading’ convinced me that there might be a problem. I think it was the bit on ‘tax evasion’ being a criminal offence punishable by imprisonment that focused my thoughts. I resolved on my return to come clean.

Market timing discipline means controlling impulses and controlling emotions. When emotions rule our trading, loses are usually the result.
