Subject: Recession benefits Small Business (Relatively)
> > Recession is not as bad for small business as it is for large business.” this is the opinion of Philip Copeman, Project Leader of TurboCASH Accounting. “While the rest of the world starts to panic, we expect 2008 to be an improved year for the TurboCASH project”. > > > I have been in business for 40 years, and when I look back on it most of my best years have actually been in Depression periods. I have spent most of those 40 years in small business. Small business does not mean small profits, and my ventures into big business have never generated the returns that are available to a small business. Small business means you have to share the pot with a lot less people. > > > Because of the media attention we tend to look at a big business as the lifestyle of its chief executive. Of course this is not true. Right now all around the world it is the millions of workers down the line that are suddenly faced with an uncertain future. Uncertainly has been part of our small business forever, far from a threat, we thrive on it. > > > Don't get me wrong people suffer in Depressions, we all do. But it hurts some more than others. Big business starts having meetings behind closed doors about retrenchment and budget cutbacks. Small business starts to find that contracts that were never available, are suddenly available, left by the shifting sands of continents sinking into the sea. > > > These were my best years in Business: > > 1970 - I was 13 years old. This was the year after the great stock market crash of 1969, probably the worst time since the 1930's to start a business. My first business was working a car lot near my home at the age of 13. In tight periods, shoppers were happy to pay me 20 cents for a cash wash rather than take it to a commercial competitor for a Dollar. This taught me that the money I made on my own was worth much more than the crumbs my father would toss me for pocket money. I would never look back from this point on. > > > 1976 – the year of the Soweto Uprising, South Africa is in turmoil and the stock market plunges. I start Discount Books, a business buying text books from the wholesalers and selling them out of the boot of my car at 10 percent discount to students. I make more money than I have ever had and I pay for my entire University Career. > > > 1987 – The year after the the PW Botha Rubicon speech, the year of the Black Monday stock crash, deep recession. I take a software publishing business International. We produce TurboCAD – 100 000 copies sold and TurboCASH 200 000 copies sold. > > > 1991 – Interests rates at record highs. The South African Government introduces VAT. We get a windfall gain converting users onto the new VAT system and this lays the foundation for our expansion into all VAT paying countries. > > > 1998 – World stock markets hiccup at the coming Millennium bug. TurboCASH goes onto upgrade all its users without a hitch and make our highest profit ever. > > > > 2008 – World enters Recession. For the first time, since the Open Source movement begins, people look seriously at Free software. They discover what we have been saying all along, that free software makes better software. It takes tightening of their belts to realize that this is not about price, but about quality after all. TurboCASH is already established as a contender, this year it makes major strides. > > > Join us and take your business forward too.! > > > > > TurboCASH Workshops > > > I will be running a number of Workshops this month, the cost is $20. You must prebook. Space is limited. > > > 19th February Cape Town > > 20th February Johannebsurg > > 19th Webinar > > 26th Webinar > > > I am introducing Online Webinars which are available for participants from any country.

this is what got sent out when we just emailed to 52000 people now
the preview was beautifully formatted html.
I have used this mailer on numerous occasions without problems , and frankly , the guy above also simply wants to enter his formatted text in the joomla editor and get a well presented result.
you went into a whole diatribe about css styles etc, but i really dont think that answers the question here. If we cannot just put in formatted content in the editor and send then there is a bug in the program.
Please can you attend to this query rather urgently , it is embarressing for us to send out this drivel to 52000 user
