It takes a mature person to promote the works of others and not feel threatened. When I have events, I welcome promo items from others. If I enjoy a book, I'll post a review and tell others.<BR/><BR/>WandaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2256870096944864969.post-75650415831117831212008-08-27T18:49:00.000-07:002008-08-27T18:49:00.000-07:00LaShaunda your observation is correct.

The answer to that is no.<BR/><BR/>We do advertise for one another through our personal venues. We also promote through contributions to print and online magazines, guests on radio programs and as guest bloggers, individually and collectively.<BR/><BR/>Does this answer your question?<BR/><BR/>Linda!Linda Beedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15147990752034757184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2256870096944864969.post-50700448372693240192008-08-27T14:50:00.000-07:002008-08-27T14:50:00.000-07:00Wow!

Most go into partnerships with common goals. That said you must be prepared for the unexpected. Therefore, your action plan should contain a contingency provision that allows for absences due to illness and/or a personal need to resign. <BR/><BR/>What happens if they want you to drop out? <BR/>Look at your original commitment. Does the language of the document give you legal right to remain and participate? If so, consider this next -- whether your agreement is written or verbal, if the group does not wish you to remain, how effective would your joint ventures really be? <BR/><BR/>Hope this helps -- Linda!Linda Beedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15147990752034757184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2256870096944864969.post-77912621393018966932008-08-27T09:23:00.000-07:002008-08-27T09:23:00.000-07:00Dr. Beed,This post is phenomenal.
