Are you a person who is very passionate about your business but you're challenged when you try to get that down on paper. When you talk about your business your passion gets others curious and interested. Something happens though to stifle that dynamic when it's time to do your business writing. You just freeze up.

Maybe you're afraid you won't "look good" because you're embarrassed about your written language skills. Perhaps you had a humiliating experience in learning written language as a youngster. For some reason, you have an aversion to writing and it translates into poor quality writing now (or at least writing that does not do justice to your business). Don't let that hold you back now. Many of the most brilliant business minds have the same issues with writing. Here's a few ideas to help you move past this issue.

1. Whatever it is that still troubles you, let it go. It was probably decades ago and it's likely that the perpetrator of your embarrassment is long gone. Don't keep yourself locked into less than you can have now because of the past. Let it go.

2. You may find that your best process would be to record yourself while you talk to someone about your business. Likely you have a strong ability to connect and excite others verbally. If you record yourself while you are "in your element" you'll record your best expressions. You can then go back and transcribe the recording and have some excellent material for the first draft of your business writing. You can have a friend call you on a free teleconference line that includes the ability to record.

3. Be willing and able to let go of your worries, anxieties and concerns about written language. When you tie your energy up in those kinds of self limitations, you completely block the flow. At first, what is most important is to do a "brain dump" of expressiveness.

Being picky and perfectionist about details at this point will do nothing but replicate your negative feelings about your ability to write. Worry about cleaning it up later. That's a different skill and not to be your concern at this stage.

4. There's nothing wrong with getting help to edit and clean up your writing. Find someone who is able to take the transcript of your brain dump and turn this into finished polished work - writing that sounds like the passionate person you are when you speak.

Getting this kind of help will give you total confidence about your written materials and you can relax about never having adequately learned the details of spelling, grammar and punctuation. That becomes someone else's job. Your job is what you do best. Convey your passion about your business, the people you help and especially the solutions you provide and how they benefit your clients.

5. Be willing to give up your procrastination about your business writing and give yourself the materials that generate revenue for you. This is a new day. You have some new tools and ideas, to try out.

It is a basic need of business to have written materials that do justice to your work. Not having them is costing you business growth and revenue - consistently. Sitting on the fence, indeed not even being willing to get on the fence is an expensive position to continue and not serving either you or those people who are suffering because they are looking for your solutions.

Trade Show Exhibit Themes: Orbit Into Another World

Trade show exhibitors often create magical environments to take you "out of the ordinary"—and sweep you away to another world. They can be filled with music (The House of Blues found at the Exhibitor Show 2006 in Las Vegas), or animals (live African blackfooted penguins at the Magnussen Home Furnishing's booth at International Home Furnishings Market's biannual trade show in April 2005), adventure or just plain fun.

Trade show exhibitors often ask why they should create a distinctive theme for their trade show display booth. There are at least three good reasons. Themes set you apart from your competition, stimulate excitement and momentum for your staff, and dramatically increase traffic to your trade show display.

Here's a good example: The International Home Furnishing Market's biannual trade show (April 2005) was spread over 12 million square feet in 188 different buildings with over 75,000 attendees. Magnussen Home Furnishing was exhibiting at this giant trade show and their theme was Jazz Age opulence featuring Irving Berlin's "Puttin' on the Ritz" with high hats, narrow collars, white spats and lots of dollars. They used pear shaped penguins that looked like sophisticated men in tuxedos as a whimsical tie-in to their trade show theme of elegance. A way to grab attention at this vast exhibit space was to have real penquins (intimately identified with the Magnussen exhibit) seen by thousands of visitors over four days in the 10 by 10 foot eye- level special habitat built in the trade show exhibit lobby. Magnussen enhanced their penguin theme by having their male staff wear tuxedos while their female staff wore white blouses and either black skirts or black slacks. They also hired teenagers dressed as penguins to roam the spacious trade show floor to attract attendees to their trade show display. The fact that there was a Jazz age band playing with glamorous ballroom dancers showing off the ritz also pleased and thrilled attendees at the dramatic 35,000 square foot Magnussen exhibit booth. Their jazzy results: a 20-percent increase in show visitors over the year before.

In October 2003, Magnussen tabbed their trade show display theme the "Magic of Magnussen." Two magicians in the lobby acted like pied pipers drawing attendees to their trade show booth while performing riveting magic tricks. Magnussen staff handed out decks of playing cards and they had a stuffed bunny popping out of a black hat as a giveaway. Their magical results: about a 10-percent increase in attendance over the previous year.

Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD) chose the theme, "Break Free" at the National Association of Broadcasters 2005 show. It hit the right cord for the market that wants to do things differently and think beyond restraints. AMD had five hip actors dressed in business suits wearing 3-D glasses spread the message of AMD on the trade show floor, the lobby and the trade show displays of their partners. The cool actors gave out entry cards and 3 D glasses to visitors who got to enter a contest to win an AMD processor-powered laptop each day of the show.
Result: exceeded their original goal of 1500 visitors by 33%.

Remember that by having a theme for your company at your trade show display, you create excitement, focus, and sales. Your trade show themed message becomes a mantra and a hypnotic magnet.

What is the least expensive AMD dual core processor?

If you check my last few questions, you will see that my mobo was fried. I'm taking this oportunity to upgrade my custom pc.
This won't be a server. It's just for a little-above-average home use.

The lowest end of the AMD dual core processors is the Athlon 64X2 3800+. I have built a computer using that processor, and it's great. My equipment: ASUS A8V 939 mobo, AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ processor, 2GB of Kingston ValueRam (4X512MB), EVGA 256MB AGP Video card, Coolermaster "Centurion V" case, 600watt 37 amp Vortec power supply, WD 250GB SATA hard drive, WD 120GB IDE hard drive, Sony 16X DVD-RW, Lite-On Combo drive, Sony floppy drive, and a Zalman CPU fan with "Arctic Silver" thermal grease.
