Who’s number one on your list for mentoring and practical advice?
If you go further than the tip of your nose to answer that question, you’ve gone too far.

A couple of articles in the current edition of Motto:
“Everyone in business knows the value of finding a great mentor. What if you can find one of the best teachers by looking in the mirror?” The Art of Mentoring Yourself by Kathleen Kurre

“Is it really great marketing that makes companies like Starbucks so popular with customers? Or is there a secret that’s a little harder to quantify?” Authenticity: The Soul of Success by Lance Secretan

Are you safeguarding your privacy?
The credit bureaus have found a way to increase their revenues at your expense...and without your permission. These "inquiry leads" include name, address, phone numbers (including unlisted), credit score, current debt and debt history, property information, age, gender and estimated income. They are selling your personal, confidential information to competing creditors...and making millions. Your privacy is being sold, not just once, but over and over again. The consumer credit reporting industry has provided a way to "opt out" and remove your name from these lists. You can contact them by phone at 1-888-567-8688 or online at www.optoutprescreen.com.

You want to know when others are mentioning you online and take immediate action if need be.
