Carnival Whirl
January 13th, 2008 by Liz Fuller
This week’s carnivals will give you a work out - but I guarantee you’ll like the results.
The selected articles tell us the best ways to take advantage of all the opportunities that present themselves in our lives: by evaluating, focusing, using our strengths and working hard.
And to reward you for all the hard work in this week’s carnival, I’ve included a free gift at the end!
This week’s Carnival of the Capitalists is hosted at Small Business Essentials. John Crickett’s article Evaluating A Business Opportunity posted at Business Opportunities and Ideas provides a detailed list to use when evaluating a business opportunity that seems like it must be “too good to be true”.
At the All Women Carnival hosted this week by Australian Women Online Edith Yeung reminds us to stop multi-tasking every minute of the day. If you’re like me and can’t recall the last time you focused on one single thing for at least an hour, then be sure to read How to Stay Focused posted at Edith Yeung.Com: Dream. Think. Act.
Jason Blumer of Thriveal did an excellent job of hosting the Carnival of Small Business Issues this week. He’s provided a tantalizing summary of each article in the carnival.
Of particular note is David B. Bohl’s article Are You Exploiting Your Strengths? posted at Slow Down Fast. We’re all pros at identifying our shortcomings, but how about taking advantage of all of our strengths? We’ll feel happier and might just get more done.
At the Carnival of Success Principles Andrew of Personal Hack presents Hard Work or a Secret Formula?. Andrew reminds us that very little long-lasting success occurs overnight. Instead the way to acheive sustainable success is to work at it consistently each and every day. It’s not a hyped-up, adrenaline-rush of a message - but it is inspirational in its own way.
So, How did you do? Did you make it this far? Good for you!
And now, as I promised, here is your free gift:
Ted Demopolous at Blogging for Business is giving away an ebook called Effective Internet Presence Now Required for Success in Business and Life. Ted will make you think about your relationship with the internet as he asks the provocative question - If you don’t exist online, do you really exist?

Thanks for the mention, Liz.
It was a work out to host the Carnival, but well worth it.
Thanks, Jason M. Blumer

Hi Liz, thanks for mentioning my free ebook Effective Internet Presence.
Should be able to download no problem now, although the server did overload a few times when I first released a few days ago — never had the happen before.
Great set of resources listed — I’m anout halfway through following links and reading.

Hi Ted
I am enjoying your book. And I have one of the challenges you describe - my name is already associated with a BBC TV personality. So, I have had some rather interesting instances where we’ve been confused - and of course, she already had the website LizFuller.com tied up.
Of course, since I’m 14 years older than she is - I tend to think that she stole my name
and I shouldn’t have to change - but after reading your book I’m beginning to wonder…
I’ll have to give it some thought - thanks for sharing your book!!

Effective Internet Presence comments…
Some great comments on my ebook Effective Internet Presence — over 5 million downloaded (I’m exaggerating, although the server buckled under the downloads a couple times!) Morty Schiller at Wordrider says: It’s not enough to be online. Alfred Thomps…
