Hello, everybody. As we close the books on one year and begin another, I wanted to take a moment today to wish you a very Happy New Year and talk a little bit about the year that lies ahead.
At the start of 2011, we’re still just emerging from a once-in-a-lifetime recession that’s taken a terrible toll on millions of families. We all have friends and neighbors trying to get their lives back on track.
We are, however, riding a few months of economic news that suggests our recovery is gaining traction. And our most important task now is to keep that recovery going. As president, that’s my commitment to you: to do everything I can to make sure our economy is growing, creating jobs, and strengthening our middle class. That’s my resolution for the coming year.
Still, even as we work to boost our economy in the short term, it’s time to make some serious decisions about how to keep our economy strong, growing and competitive in the long run. We have to look ahead -- not just to this year, but to the next 10 years, and the next 20 years.
Where will new innovations come from? How will we attract the companies of tomorrow to set up shop and create jobs in our communities? What will it take to get those jobs? What will it take to out-compete other countries around the world? What will it take to see the American Dream come true for our children and grandchildren?
Our parents and grandparents asked themselves those questions. And because they had the courage to answer them, we’ve had the good fortune to grow up in the greatest nation on Earth.
Now it’s our turn to think about the future. In a few days, a new Congress will form, with one house controlled by Democrats and one house controlled by Republicans -- who now have a shared responsibility to move this country forward. And here’s what I want you to know: I’m willing to work with anyone of either party who’s got a good idea and the commitment to see it through. And we should all expect you to hold us accountable for our progress or our failure to deliver.
As I’ve said since I first ran for this office, solving our challenges won’t be quick or easy. We have come through a difficult decade, one of new threats and new trials we didn’t expect when it began. But a new year and a new decade stretch out before us. And if we just remember what America is capable of, and live up to that legacy, then I’m confident that we are poised for a period of progress -– one in which our economy is growing, our standing in the world is rising, and we do what it takes to make sure America remains in the 21st century what it was in the 20th: the greatest country in the world. Thanks for listening. And Happy New Year. ####

The restructuring specialist is dealing with the outfit's remaining issues in bankruptcy court and is making sure money owed to various creditors and staffers is paid out...

Like millions of other internet users, I spent several months combing the web, looking for creative ways to earn an online income. There are so many scams (many of them packaged in very shiny, attractive packages) that it's virtually impossible to know where to start. One search after another, and you'll often end up right back where you started. You may start to doubt that it's even possible to make money legitimately online.
So what do you do?
Well, there are a few key things you need to remember when you begin your online money-making endeavor, whether it's starting your own business or just selling other companies' products.
1. It will not happen overnight
To anyone who's new to working online, you may come into it thinking that you can earn thousands of dollars overnight just by signing up for some program. Well, it's not true, and any program that promises you that is a scam. Just like with any other job, making money online requires hard work, commitment, passion, and a drive to succeed. If your heart isn't in it, you may as well not even try. Expel the phrase "get rich quick" from your mind forever. The only way you can ever do that is in a casino - and only if you're really, really lucky.
2. It is possible to begin without spending any of your own money
Free advertising is possible on the web. I myself started out this way, by writing articles and promoting my blog and websites. This is where the commitment and hard work come into play; you're going to need to spend several hours a day doing research, writing about your product(s) and your experiences, and networking with others who are doing exactly what you are. Understand that none of these things, however, require that you spend money. The only thing you're investing is your time.
3. You need to be constantly active
I started my online marketing career by spending 8-10 hours a day writing, networking, and researching. No matter what your level of experience, you can ALWAYS learn something new. The internet is an amazing venue, but it's an ever-changing beast - much like the stock market. You need to be prepared to tweak your campaign every day to accommodate the changes taking place on the internet.
The bottom line:
You can make money legitimately online. You do, however, need to go into it with the right mindset (i.e., a willingness to learn), a lot of time, and a good work ethic. I would strongly advise against starting your online career if you've just been fired or are about to be evicted from your apartment. Have a stable, dependable income and start putting money away for when/if you do decide to start investing in your online career.
