If you’re unsure weather your Facebook Page is SSL enabled go to your Page and and add an “s” to the http so it looks like this: -
https://www.facebook.com/yourpage


Click through each of your pages tabs
If you see this "turn off secure browsing" notice from Facebook instead of the pages content you don’t have an SSL certificate for that tab.

If you have any questions about this or any of the other Facebook changes please ask away!

A client posed this question today on her Facebook wall so I thought it was time to put up a little ‘how to’ for you. Things change really frequently on Facebook these days so please holler when it’s no longer done this way and I’ll post an update.

• Log in to your Facebook Page
• Click Edit Info

Now all your blog posts will be imported to your Facebook Page and appear on your wall. In future Facebook will automatically check for new posts to import.

Happy Blogging

Most entrepreneurs like nothing better than the satisfaction of being their own boss. The rewards are both monetary and psychological-profits and esteem. Not surprisingly the cost of failure is also monetary and psychological-financial ruin and a shattered ego.

Developing an accounting plan is fundamental to success. Your system doesn’t need to be complex, it just needs to enable you to keep tract of your business. A good system will:
·    Help you solve problems
·    Help you pursue opportunities
·    Help you express future plans
·    Help you keep track of what’s happening in your business

Having control of your cash flow is crucial to being successful. It’s the lifeblood of your business. No matter how big your accounts receivable and assets are, without adequate funds to pay your bills on a regular basis your venture has little chance of surviving long term.

Wishing you success and prosperity
