[Featured Article] Getting Started with VBA in Excel 2010 – from msdn.microsoft.com

[NB: The promised diagrammatic explanation (from last week’s tutorial) of the ExcelVB code for launching a URL in a browser will be sent to you during the week]

 

This week I feature an article published by Microsoft to introduce ExcelVB. Note that even though the title specifies Excel 2010, most of what is discussed applies to Excel 2007 upwards.

 

I encourage you to read it from start to end and print it out if you can – because it provides a useful foundation of understanding on which you can build your ExcelVB expertise over time.

To this end, he arrived Nigeria this past Tuesday, bringing with him a wealth of world class expertise to share with attendees of his Lifestyle Business Conference.

 

Just last week – 16th June 2016 – to be specific, he (in response to an invitation by Bournemouth University’s Institute of Directors,UK) delivered a presentation titled…”Passion 2 Profits”- How To Discover Your Entrepreneurial Potential And Achieve Your Career Success” at Bournemouth University, UK (See

Efe is rolling out the Lifestyle Business Conference as a way of giving back to society, to help others discover their purpose and succeed in life, inspite of their circumstances – just like he rose from hawking groceries on the streets of Sapele to become a respected Business Coach in the UK.

 

Initial plans are being worked on by his contacts in Sapele, to roll out the conference. But the vision is to continue across 7 Nigerian states, and ultimately the entire country.

 

We believe that collaborating with organisations like yours can enable us reach out to larger number of people who can benefit from exposure to valuable learning of this kind – hence the decision to reach out to you.

[RECOMMENDED] 5 Steps To Get The Best Eggs Possible (from www.hobbyfarms.com)

<I>[Tayo Solagbade’s note to reader: Every week I search the web for potentially useful articles on farm business management. This write up by HobbyFarms.com offers practical wisdom that any poultry farmer looking to boost farm performance profitably will appreciate. By “TLC” the author of this article means “Tender Loving Care”]</i>

 

Treating your layer hens to a little TLC will mean delicious, golden-yolked eggs for your morning breakfast.

 

Back in the days before my layer flock came to enliven life on our farm, I would have picked the egg for sure—or maybe the egg carton. After all, the runny, pale-yolked eggs I cooked came from cartons sold at the grocery store, not from any chickens that I could see. My perspective changed, however, when I brought home our first fuzzy chicks, watched them grow into gawky pullets and waited—and waited—with bated breath for our first farm-fresh eggs to magically appear.

 

I eventually learned that not only did you first need chickens to have eggs (obviously), but to start getting eggs, you also needed your pullets to reach about 20 weeks of age. And to get an ongoing supply of good eggs, your chickens needed the right food, clean nest boxes, sufficient daylight and more. In other words, because an egg’s quality reflects the care and management the hen receives, getting good eggs takes some work—and not just on the chicken’s part. Take it from anyone who has ever kept a layer flock, the delicious results are well worth the effort.

To Demonstrate Real Faith in the Creator, You Simply Cannot Use “Safety Nets”!

Some people readily announce – at every opportunity – that they BELIEVE or have FAITH in the Creator. Yet in the way they LIVE, especially privately, in thought and action, they often fail to show it.

What’s more, despite what they profess, these same people, in speaking about their goals, and/or problems they face, they complain about “enemies”, “forces”, “agents” holding their “progress”, “blessings” or even their “destinies”!

How is it possible for a person who truly lives with faith, to be at the perpetual mercy of such evil or ungodly influences?

That just does not add up.

As a result of their above described mental attitudes, many of these people go out of their way to put all sorts of “safety nets” in place, from a just-in-case disposition!

Examples: cutting corners while rationalising that you’re just being realistic; compromising to lower your ethical or moral values/standards in exchange for a concession you seek etc.

Truth is you either believe whole-heartedly (it’s called “blind and unquestioning faith”) or you don’t.

You need no safety nets if you do.

Simply let go and take daily action with confidence based on your faith, to pursue your goals.

This has nothing to do with religion. It is simply a spiritual principle. Every human being is capable of exercising faith and can therefore apply this principle successfully in his/her life!

Like the gentleman whose 2 Facebook post previews and links I share below:

1. Lonnie Robinson story of “being through hell and back” is real and amazing. You need to read it to fully appreciate it.

Lonnie Robinson

My Testimony:

“I do not have the Right—to remain silent!”

The Trophy was given to me by the students at the School of Justice for “enriching their lives!

Every student (800), faculty and staff member has heard my Testimony. They witness me excel in class. I chose to take this picture with this Trophy (over my degree or academic award) because it is inscribed to Mr. Lonnie! And it say’s—you are One in a Million!

You see, this is so heartfelt—because it wasn’t long ago—when I use to “literally” be called—a piece of shit! Thank you Jesus! For miraculously transforming my life, from—Shit to Sugar!

My Testimony;

I’m a 62 year old ‘poor’ black male who has literally been through hell and back—to get to this juncture in my life! I was born raised and still reside in district 5—the most impoverished and crime infested district within the City of Miami Florida. District 5 is an inner-city Ghetto!

2. In this 2nd post, he publishes a definition of FAITH in form of a photo illustration that’s spot on!

Make the World Better by Being Beautiful Inside, Long After Your Outer Beauty Has Faded [Tribute to Muhammad Ali]

“The shoot produced haunting, intimate photos of a champion ravaged by age and Parkinson’s disease, though the spark clearly was still there”

.

The above is what I choose to take away from this Washington Post article titled “Muhammad Ali’s final photo shoot captured a spark that still lingered – The Washington Post“.

The writer himself knew it mattered enough to mention it (I.e the “spark”), not just in the article, but in its title.

The truth is Muhammad Ali remained a fighter long after he’d left the ring. Many lose that spark with age and illness less severe than the one he battled most of the rest of his life after retiring.

Ali defied it – just like he defied attempts to shut him up or put him (or his people) down. That’s why he’ll remain the same beautiful man in the memories of millions the world over.

We all age. It’s inevitable. But only physically.

Ageing does not – indeed cannot – “ravage” our minds, like it can do to our bodies. Which is great because it is that which resides in our minds (I.e our thoughts) that ultimately makes us who we are – or indeed who we become.

This is why I recommend we all work hard to become, and remain ‘beautiful on the inside’, like Muhammad Ali did until he passed on!

[Recommended] A Tried & Tested Six Figure World Class Internet Marketing Success Coach

If you’re keen to learn how to cost-effectively achieve Long Term World Class Quality Internet Marketing success, you may want to stop what you’re doing and read what follows below about a rare expert, who’s done (and helped others do) it for decades!

This is a short post I’ve written to introduce a Warrior Forum discussion page where knowledgeable Internet Marketing pros responded to an enquirer’s request for guidance on whether or not solutions offered by the Internet Marketing Coach mentioned below, were worth investing in.

I refer to…

[Recommended] A Tried & Tested Six Figure World Class Internet Marketing Success Coach

Terry Dean…

NB: Neither the forum members nor Terry Dean have asked me to do this, or are even aware I’ve done it. in other words I get no rewards for writing this, and only do it, because I want to.
Click here to read the request.

if you’re asking who Terry Dean is, the rest of this post offers details and links to useful resources you can study.

I’ve followed Terry Dean since 2001, my last year in paid employment, when I used to read his reports about making a living online.

Yep.

Like the guys in the Warror Forum noted, he’s been around for quite a while – and is still going strong!

What’s more, the fact that he still continues to command top ratings among those in the upper echelons of Internet Marketing worldwide, proves that he truly knows what it takes.

But what I’ve found most attractive about Mr. Dean over the years is the fact that he always keeps his coaching and business simple.

You won’t catch him using complex SEO jargon or going overboard in use of web based technology. His email newsletters and webpages remain as simple and basic as ever in terms of how they are presented, and what they communicate.

And yet this man is well known in the markets he serves for not only developing systems that earn him millions, but also for helping thousands of clients to do the same.

This is the kind of expert virtually anyone can learn from. You won’t need to be a tech guru to work with him.

This is why I’m linking to the review page below about him, which he probably does not know about!

It is also why I offer you the URL below to view a Google results page with links to learn more about him.

Most importantly I showcase this man because he embodies what I call “Silent Success”.

For instance, the last thing you can associate with him is HYPE – so people looking for quick fixes or free rides in fancy cars may not “like” him. See his Facebook business page here.

If truth be told, most business owners – especially in my part of the world – engaged in learning or practising Internet Marketing, have probably never heard of Terry Dean.

I’ve found that my primary target audience in Africa, due to their different mental attitudes online, need a finetuned adaptation of ideas proven to work in developed societies. That’s what I try to do for those who hire me.

Yet if you move amongst the communities, online and off the web, in which the very best experts in this field interact (e.g the Internet Marketing
Superconference held in USA), you’re certain to discover he’s reverred. Some call him a legend.

I’ll end by saying the least you can do, especially if you’re from my part of the world, is to signup to join Terry’s free email newsletter mailing to tap from some of his experience based wisdom.

What are the things he feels matter the most for Internet Marketing success achievement?

What does he think you should focus your time and energy on?

How does he do his own marketing?

What does he think about many of the wonderful promises being made by a lot of Internet Marketing coaches?

Does he make use of Social Media marketing, and how much does he depend on – or recommend it – for achievement of Internet Marketing success.

Why does he NOT like being called a “Guru”?

You’ll be surprised by what you learn. And you’ll be the wiser for it, I assure you.

I say this based on smart insights I’ve gained from reading and adapting ideas from this man.

Good luck!
