New Member Here! Hello community. I just joined this week. I recently loss my job as an Email Marketing Specialist due to workforce reduction. I found this group and wanted to join to network, learn new things and meet new people. Looking forward to a better and Prosperous new year in 2025.

--> Not email related per se but I hope you find it useful. In my opinion, too many people live in the past and dwell on what they did wrong, what they might have become, or what they could have achieved. It's at this time of the year that people have time to dwell on this and have a depressing time instead of a great time. So, if you're one of those people, I have some advice. Advice I'll be taking myself. Stop beating up on yourself and letting those inner voices destroy you. Most people have pasts they'd like to change but can't. Sometimes you think of things in the past that when you were about to do them, you knew they were wrong and you would probably regret them later. But your weaker nature won the day and you went ahead and did them anyway. You do not stand alone. It is human nature to fail. The trick is not to fail twice but to learn from it the first time. Be gentle with yourself. Learn not only to ask for forgiveness but also to forgive yourself. Live in the present. The past is what it is, gone and never to return. Start living and building the better you. Over the break, say this to yourself: Whatever wrong I did, it is gone forever, so I will no longer allow it to dominate my life. Instead, I will forgive myself and focus on the better me. Merry Christmas and have a well-deserved break. Glenn

Hey guys, my good friend, David Martin recommended I join, so here I am! I'm an award-winning, executive coach, working with 'corporate climbers' and business owners, helping them to "create a healthy work/life balance, so that they can thrive, not merely survive in their work and their home life." I'm looking forward to learning as much as I can, in order to grow my email list, serve more people, and ultimately make more sales online.

Hey guys, it's a pleasure to be part of this community :) I'm Roberta, and I run EmailTooltester's email marketing game. I'm excited to get to know you and learn and share useful email tips!

Hi everyone and thanks Doug, for inviting me. I run EmailTooltester.com, which maybe some of you might know. We help small businesses find the right email service provider. We also talk about deliverability, strategy, newsletter monetization etc. Dough even made me a moderator, so expect occasional nuggets of wisdom from me :)
