Christmas Give Away!
We here at Bob's PC Pro know how important it is to keep your computer running as smooth as possible and when it's not, frustration happens. People threaten to take a bat to it or throw it out the window. So with all that in mind, we want to relieve some of that stress and offer a special Christmas Give Away!
The prize: One hour FREE of REMOTE computer support.
For those of you who do not know what remote support is, I'll explain. It's when you get to sit in your home in you pajamas and let us connect to your computer from our office. It's consent-based and performed through Crossloop. It's completely secure and you have the ability to disconnect our remote connection at any time. Of course, you must be able to get on the internet for this to work.
This Free hour of remote computer support that we are giving away could include troubleshooting that nagging problem with pop up's, general clean up, browser optimization, spyware scan and/or removal, nagging software installation, upgrading recommendations, removing dusty old software, advice or questions you may have on your mind about your computer, or simple training.
To enter this give away, simply send your name and email address to Heather@bobspcpro.com so that we can let the winner know that they've won the prize! The drawing will be held tomorrow (December 25, 2008) at noon (EST)!

A New Addiction...
I realize there are many social networks out there. I haven't joined any of the them...until just recently. I am now on Facebook! Can you believe it???!
I was under the impression that it was for the younger generation of people (not that I'm old...yet). I was wrong. I actually have quite a few friends and some family members on there. I guess I'm a little slow. But now that I'm more hip and with it, I have a profile...lol.
It's a lot of fun and I can't believe already that it's enhanced some of my relationships with people I didn't have opportunity to communicate with as much. It is a great tool to keep in touch. I do need to be careful though, I did notice that I was spending quite a bit of time on there...yikes!
Another cool aspect of it is that it's another tool to promote our business too. One thing I've learned this year is that the key to getting your business moving is to network with other people! It is so important to get people to trust you and know how you operate as a business owner. Once you earn that trust, they feel comfortable using your services and giving our referrals which is where most of our business comes from.
Which reminds me....I need to go update my profile!

I Am President.....
Hear me 'Roar!'
I am the president of our company, Bob's PC Pro LLC. Why, I don't know but it does have it's benefits. I've met some very neat business owners who are trying to get their name out there and make a difference in our community. One other benefit is that I have to attend 'PPN'. For those of you who are wondering what that is, it is this....Presidential Pie Night. I have a very good friend who is also the president of her company and PPN happens to be like a support group for us.
Anyway, I wanted to take a minute to talk about our company. My husband has 14 years of experience in the computer industry. Since losing his job last May, we decided to embark on a scary (for me) adventure. It's hard getting your name out there so that people become familiar with it and find out it's a name they can trust. It really has been a learning experience for both of us.
One area we are trying to specialize in is 'Remote Support.' What a pain it is to have to pack your computer up and take it in somewhere. With remote support, we can hook up to your computer through a secure connection and see what the problem could be. You can even watch what we are doing...how's that for some fun entertainment??! There is no cleaning involved to make your house presentable for someone to come to your home and you can even be in your pajamas without us knowing :-) Of course, if we find out that it is a hardware problem, then you will need to make human contact which we also do too. Unless of course, you are in Wyoming....then we would recommend you take it in somewhere near you.
We've had several people attempt to go through a well-known company's remote support only to not understand the person on the other end of the phone line along with them just wanting to wipe out your computer's hard drive losing important information. Often times, they get their computer back in worse condition then when they originally took it in along with having to pay tons of money for a non-fixed computer. My husband has been able to help repair computers without losing any data. We also run our business on integrity and make sure it's working right before we are finished. He is really good at what he does. This isn't just a hobby for him, it's a passion. He loves technology and he loves impossible computer problems. This makes him excellent at what he does.
If you need help setting up a business email for your company, are in need of a website or would like to purchase a computer through Dell, we do that too. Why not give us a try? We would love to be of service to you!
Did I mention I'm the advertising specialist too....lol!

Blue Sky Travel Discounts
We've decided to add something else to our list of things we do. We've bought an online travel agency!
As many of you already know, we have been trying to get our computer business off and running. It is always hard in the beginning to get your name/reputation out there so that people are familiar with you and want to give you business. Things have been pretty slow so we are needing to add some supplemental income to keep things going.
We would absolutely be grateful if you would consider using our travel site to book your next vacation or trip! Come check us out....www.blueskytraveldiscounts.com.
Amazingly, we don't just offer flight reservations, there are loads of things you can use our site for. Here are some of things you can do:
There is also local discounts on events/activities such as the indoor water park at the Best Western in Sterling Heights, Michigan, lodging at the Thomas Edison Inn, or Splash Village in Frankenmuth. Whatever your interest may be, go check it out!
Our site is partnered with internet giants such as Travelocity and hotels.com to provide these awesome deals. It has also been stated that we actually meet or beat rates from Orbitz.com and Expedia.com about 92% of the time!
And....if you are pleased with what you see and experience, please share our site information with all of your friends and family who like great deals on travel and so much more!

Officially Unemployed
Today is Bob's official first day unemployed. I wasn't sure what to expect when I woke up this morning but today doesn't feel any different. The birds are singing, the sun is shining and the kids are lively as ever. It's not like I expected it to be raining or everything frozen in place but shouldn't something indicate there's a enormous change going on in our lives? Perhaps the changes are on the inside. Here is what we see:
1. Bob is happy.
2. Bob is very happy.
3. Bob is not stressed.
4. Bob is different.
5. Bob is smiling.
We've made our decision on what path we are going to take for the next few months. It all started a few months back. My husband has been really stressed at work and hasn't been all that happy with things the way they were. He has always desired to have his own business but felt like we couldn't just quit and go that route because we have responsibilities like say...a house payment, food for the children, Starbucks, etc.
A dear friend of mine and I started praying about what direction God wanted us to take. Then as you've read previously, Bob was laid off. This was totally not what we were expecting. We've had several confirmations to that direction and feel that God is giving us a unique opportunity to embrace that would benefit all of us. Even though the future is uncertain, we are confident that this is the way God is directing us.
So with all that said, we've made a decision to start our own business, Bob's PC Pro. We are very excited about this new adventure. It's a little scary but yet exciting. God has opened a door that we weren't expecting and are seizing the moment. Even though the market may seem like this isn't a good time to go off on our own, we know that God is bigger than all that and are trusting Him with whatever may come.
