We can all use free stuff. How about a free vacation? Well, have not found that as yet. But for now let’s talk about Freeware, software available to use without purchase. I have previously listed a few I use on a regular basis. They never give me a problem, especially if I have to reinstall. YEAH. More about that later.

Today I have a three websites to share with you that offer Freeware, Shareware, and paid software options.

The favorite are trial software with a purchase offer later. Some are only 14 days, others 30 days. No matter it gives you and I the opportunity to try the software out before purchasing. This is especially helpful if you experience problems, getting in touch with tech support for any software is mega important. There are some Freeware that do not offer tech support, you are sort of on your own. What I mean is some do offer a forum where you will find support from other users.

New sites I recently discovered and still research are as follows:

Easy Freeware

This is an archive of software you can get for free. The list includes games, photo software, productivity software, video and audio converters as well as player. There is a list of Blackberry applications that could take up this whole page, go see for yourself. The list is extensive as is the software available for download.

Free Download Manager

Here is another website filled with the latest and older software available to you both free and purchase. However, there are trial periods available offering you a chance to play before you pay. The alpha list begins with audio and video, business, communications, developer tools, plus many categories. Go check it out for yourself, I am still exploring.

This one is my old favorite.

Source Forge

Are you searching for a place to host your newly developed, open source software? SourceForge.net is the place to be noticed. Plus you can download almost any software program equivalent to the pay for software. You will find software to help you develop more software, patches and add ons to Windows operating system, hardware drivers, and so much more.

If you have a website you would like to share that offers free software I will be happy to share it with my readers. Please contact me and send me the information. Thank you.

A quick note about one book that is a must have for women considering developing a business of their own. Alexandra Powe Allred has compiled success stories of successful women like Debbie Fields the owner of Mrs. Fields. Other women entrepreneurs include Stacey Center who began her own soap business. There are many more women to inspire and guide you through the small and great steps to build a business from your home.

With a little imagination and a lot of work you can build a successful business from your home. Take over your kitchen or a corner of your living room to begin. You can do it, start with this book:

Passion Rules

Passion Rules, Inspiring Women in Business, by Alexandra Powe Allred. Available at Amazon for as little as 1 cent. Yep: $.01 plus shipping.

Recently I decided to read the books by Og Mandino that received so much acclaim. The Greatest Salesman in the World has 10 scrolls that tell one how to become the greatest salesman in the world, simple and not so easy tasks to accomplish success. The scrolls are filled with inspirational and motivational ideas to practice through the day to help make the necessary changes to achieve success.

The first scroll instructs you to live in love, greet each moment in love, never gossip, never feed hate or anger. Empty your life of those things that do not serve the higher purpose and brings only love. When you speak badly of someone you feed the negative energy in your life. Like attracts like.

This is not easy when you are use to speaking about all the things wrong in your life, how bad you feel, how tired you are, the aches and pains, the guy who cut you off in traffic, all those nagging thoughts and emotions that make you feel tired and ill. Negative emotions are defeating and one of the primary reasons why no one succeeds.

This is the greatest secret in the world, fill your life with love. Stop complaining and speak only on the successes of your day. Even when they do not feel like successes, make them accomplishments. Greet each little task with love. You will find an abundance of energy, it is amazing.

Give it a try, read the book, then go back and start practicing the scrolls according to the instructions.

The Greatest Salesman in the World

Please let me know how you are doing. I would love to hear your success stories.
