_____ DAVE'S AND HEIDI'S RAMBLINGS _________


A warm welcome from Heidi and Dave to our new subscribers.

Friends and Readers of HomeBizBytes,

An interesting past week...

We apologize for getting this week's newsletter out late.  
Heidi had a computer crash that created havoc with her email.  
All fixed now (with a few bumps and scrapes).  On we goooo...

Dave and I took the family camping at Bear Leak this week.  
Arrived home Wednesday evening in time to watch the media 
coverage of the anniversary of 9/11.  Because of the flood of 
coverage this gets, we purposely chose not to include our 
thoughts this week.  We hope our subscribers all over the world 
took a moment to reflect on the blessings and freedoms of 
entrepreneurship.

A quote by Benjamin Franklin offers cause for self-reflection.

  "Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom.  As nations 
   become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters."

Onward...

In looking over recent issues, Dave and I realized that we 
haven't given you enough "meat"...too much "fluff" lately.  So, 
we're making the needed changes.

Today's issue highlights a home-based entrepreneur and we have 
created another useful "Home-based Entrepreneur's Painless 
Guide to..." This one is on the timely topic of recession and 
answers some of the home-based entrepreneur's most pressing 
questions on how to cope in business in a down economy.

Enjoy this issue.

Go ahead, pass this newsletter on to your friends and 
associates.  Let them know you sent it using your unique link:

_____ FEATURED HOME-BASED ENTREPRENEUR _____


David Sipos
A 3-generation crane operator, 
turned home-based photo compressor
http://www.homebusinessonline.com/preview/photozip.html


David Sipos is a crane operator.  His father was also a crane 
operator as was his grandfather.

Now, with that kind of history one might expect that David 
would stay close to his expertise as he started his home 
business.  Perhaps he could do some kind of construction 
consulting or crane operation training.  At very least, you 
would expect him to stay within a specific industry.  

But, David wanted to try something different, very different.  
After spending months online and doing research over time, he 
ran into plenty of scams.  Never discouraged, he continued 
looking and finally fell upon something that intrigued him, 
enough that he became passionate about his newfound interest.

What is this passion?  A new technology that compresses photos 
and graphics into tiny file sizes for easy electronic transfer 
through email - without losing any quality - and at speeds you 
never thought possible.  In fact, normal compression software 
can't even come close to this new technology.

With an enthusiastic voice, David claims you no longer have to 
think twice about emailing large images.  "Think of the 
possibilities," he continues, "Email your family album, 
transmit high resolution digital photos from your laptop on 
the beach, email large architectural plans to your remote 
construction site, or email image-heavy brochures to your 
customers."

With his children raised and more time to spend working on his 
new business after work, David hopes to turn his home business 
into full-time income within the next few years.  With his 
passion and commitment to learn, David will be on track to meet 
his goal.

But, David's story is one of hope for the masses who ask 
themselves, "This is all I've done all my life.  I don't know 
anything else.  How can I possibly change course."  Once you 
get to know David Sipos, you will realize it's never too late 
to change gears and shape your new destiny.
