Someone sent me a message on this internet dating site I have a profile on, and though I cannot read the message because I haven’t paid for a membership, the subject of the message is “Are you laid back?”

My answer?

Yep, I’m laid back, I take things easy, I try not to stress out too much, the only stress I have in my life is lack of companionship and intimacy. Other than that, everything is all good in da hood in my neck ov da woods.

I cannot begin to tell you how wonderful today’s service was, you just had to be there to really experience it, no amount of words can describe it. After church I came back home for just a little while, and then left again to go on a service call.

I found out the hard way that some Toshiba Satellite A205 laptops are having issues, for some reason all of a sudden the bios puts a password on it, and you can’t even do anything after that. No, no backdoor passwords for a Phoenix BIOS worked, no, no backdoor passwords from Toshiba worked, and you can’t boot up into anything, the first thing it asks for is the password. You can’t even get into the bios to change anything.

After taking the whole laptop apart, and examining the entire motherboard, looking for the CMOS battery, I finally got fed up because I couldn’t find it, so then I began searching on the net for any information or solutions I could find. Yes, I tried taking out the battery and the memory, and holding down the power button for at least 30 seconds. Yes, I tried shorting the two leads on the board (by the XX engraving) to short out the bios, but that didn’t work either.

Well, I finally decided to call Toshiba, and they’re going to send out a box to put the laptop in, so my client has to ship it to Toshiba, and they’ll fix it, thankfully for free since it was a problem on their end, not from the end user.

That took me a while, and I also had to remove some spyware and viruses on a netbook and an older Dell PC.

Yes, I’m laid back, but I still stay on track!

I’m still being consistent and remaining persistent. I’m not going to give up, I’m not going to call it quits, almost everyone I interact with tells me to give it a shot, they encourage me and suggest I do indeed run for the office of President of the United States in the 2012 election.

Hmmm!

What could that be about?

Is it possible that word has gotten around, and more and more people are becoming aware of just how much the Lord has blessed me?

Well, it sure seems that way, my newest client said I was highly recommended by some people he knows.

Word of mouth advertising is STILL the best form of advertising! I spent about $100 on a stack of business cards about 2 years ago, and though I’m about out of them, here I am, two years later, and I’m so busy that I can barely keep up with the workload. What did I do? Well, I just kept staying on the grind, since I couldn’t afford to pay for some conventional advertising campaign, such as an ad in the newspaper, or an ad on the radio, instead I let my work ethic speak for me, and let word of mouth advertising do what it does.

I tell you this, if anyone is thinking about starting their own business, or already have, I know from experience now that word of mouth advertising does the trick as long as you are truly customer service oriented, and make sure your customers are very well taken care of.

I’m laid back & on track!
