			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My new business cards have arrived this morning. I had decided to purchase the &#8220;Free&#8221; business cards from Vista Print. Basically, it&#8217;s free plus shipping and a small advertisement on the back, but I decided to up the price and double the quantities and add a back to the card and received 500 business cards. Total cost including shipping was $32.10 CDN (slow boat to Winnipeg option <img src='http://www.hbsmc.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> ). I chose the slowest delivery option and ordered my cards on March 7, 2011 and received them today March 28, 2011. I wasn&#8217;t in a rush and 3-weeks ain&#8217;t bad! </p>
<p>Here they are:<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well .. <a href="http://www.hbsmc.com/new-fax-number-effective-january-1-2008/">I tried</a> to get rid of my Fax-To-Email service I used to have with <a href="http://mytelus.com/fax">MyTelus</a> and have people fax me on my local phone number and All-In-One Fax machine .. but I&#8217;m sick of the two major problems it has affected me with:</p>
<h3>(1) I have to turn on my fax &#8211; ugh</h3>
<p>Clients and customers have to phone me first to send a fax as I have to turn on the fax machine. Although this sounds like a simple thing .. I&#8217;m not always available near a phone or I am on a different time zone. As such, some clients and customers have complained because they were standing next to a fax machine to fax me something and it was getting rejected. When they try to phone me, I never answered.</p>
<h3>(2) I have to turn off my fax &#8211; oops</h3>
<p>Most of the times, a client or customer will phone me and need to fax me something, but they will do it before lunch, or before the end of the day. In these cases, I turn on the fax machine and leave it on until I receive the fax documents. Sometimes, I will turn it on and go out and run some errands, or eat, or spend time with my wife .. and forget to turn it off. When clients or customers try to call me in this case, all they here is that annoying fax screeeech and unable to leave a message.</p>
<blockquote><h3>Here&#8217;s My New Fax Number</h3>
<h2>Fax: 1-888-HART-BOT</h2>
<p>That&#8217;s right!<br />
* 1-888-HART-bot<br />
* 1-888-4278-268<br />
* 1-888-427-8268</p>
<p><em>For local faxes sent to me by my clients and customers in Winnipeg, you still have to dial the &#8220;1&#8243; and &#8220;888&#8243; before this new fax number.<br />
</em></p></blockquote>
<p>It&#8217;s cool, eh? I think it&#8217;s easy to remember and a keeper! My new fax-to-email is with <a href="http://MyFax.com" title="http://MyFax.com" target="_blank">MyFax.com</a></p>

HARTLEY B SINGER<br />

<p><u>UPDATE</u></p>
<p>Please note: Please contact me via VOICE phone PRIOR to faxing me any information. The &#8220;Auto Answer&#8221; feature of my Fax machine is interfering with my &#8220;Call Answer&#8221; features &#8230; so, I am leaving it turned off and placing it &#8220;ON&#8221; by request only &#8211; when there is a need to receive a fax.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well .. I have finally converted everything that was on my old non-blog <a href="http://HBSMC.com" title="http://HBSMC.com" target="_blank">HBSMC.com</a> site into this blog format &#8230; everything, except for my LINKS page! I am either really lazy, or too busy to convert them to the blogroll format. I know I&#8217;ve got a lot of different links over at <a href="http://1800HART.com/blog/" title="http://1800HART.com/blog/" target="_blank">1800HART.com/blog/</a> and there are some links that are dead on this page. As a solution, I just placed the link to the LINKS page in my blogroll in the sidebar.</p>
<h3>Will there be regular posts in this blog?</h3>
<p>Probably not. Consider this blog &#8211; as my business card for my bookkeeping and accounting and income tax business. Most of what happens within my HBS Management Consultants business (bookkeeping and income tax) will remain on <a href="http://1800HART.com/blog/" title="http://1800HART.com/blog/" target="_blank">1800HART.com/blog/</a>. Most of what happens within the HART-Empire Network, a division of HBS Management Consultants .. will occur on <a href="http://HART-Empire.com" title="http://HART-Empire.com" target="_blank">HART-Empire.com</a>. </p>
