Quick Hit Monday:

Good Morning Everybody,

Detroit Week one of our CBTL 2010 tour [link] is behind us and we head out early today for Detroit, then over to Chicago, and complete the week in Minneapolis. We are expecting BIG crowds again in all three cities. Like some folks said last week, you get more words per minute coming at you from a Ziser Seminar than any other seminar ;~)

My personal thanks to everyone who came up to me last week, left  comments here at DPT, and emailed telling me how much they enjoyed the program.  Another special THANKS to all the volunteers who helped LaDawn last week. Thank you so much!

Hey gang, we need to hit the road early so let’s get to today’s post.

  2. Good articles. One important thing I've read in articles about copyrights is that it's advisable to register one's works with the US Copyright Office. Not only does it provide excellent documentation, the articles indicate it also helps when pursuing the matter legally.
