I hate to tell you but this is so not true and if you don't believe this yet you eventually will.
If you are being everything to everybody you are spreading yourself thin and diluting your marketing efforts. It becomes unclear as to what your specialty is and eventually you are attracting nobody to do business with.
A business without clients does not last too long and unless you are sitting on abundant cash reserves it is imperative that you close sales with prospects and keep the business alive and thriving.
A successful entrepreneur knows the difference between an ideal and a non-ideal client. This information dictates the marketing and positioning of her brand so that her business stands out even in a crowded marketplace.

3a. Click Add Printers to reveal any printers physically connected to your computer. Then click add to Cloud Print. This method requires your computer to always be on in order to print, as Cloud Printing relies on an internet connection to function.

Apple iPhone 5s vs Samsung Galaxy S4: Smartphone Face-Off

iphone-5s-galaxy-s4-face-sf
During the launch event for the iPhone 5s, Apple CEO Tim Cook told the crowd, “We don’t pack in feature after feature.” That was obviously a dig at Samsung, whose Galaxy S4 crams the most features of any smartphone we’ve tested, including a TV remote and an array of gestures. Certainly, the iPhone 5s and Galaxy S4 take vastly different approaches, which makes it that much tougher to decide what to buy. That’s where we come in.
The iPhone 5s is all about enhancing an already great phone, with improvements ranging from a faster A7 processor and a beefed-up camera to a new fingerprint sensor. On the other hand, the Galaxy S4 pushes the envelope with some impressive specs of its own, including a 5-inch 1080p display and a 13-MP camera. Here’s how the two flagship smartphones stack up in multiple categories.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Review

Pros: Epic battery life; Gorgeous screen; Powerful pen software; Strong performance; Improved multitasking
Cons: Audio could be better; Design not one-hand friendly; Relatively expensive
The Verdict: Epic battery life, a gorgeous screen, sharp camera and powerful software make the Galaxy Note 3 the most versatile smartphone on the market.
