A Friendly Reminder: Be Mindful of Phishing Emails! |
|
Phishing scams are no joke, and recently, some members have seen a scam email message purporting to be from ASCCA, but this can apply to any company or organization. Here are two easy rules that can help you spot scams before you click on them!
- Completely ignore what the email looks like. That includes any images, company names, and logos – as well as what the text says.
- Find out where the links in the email lead. If the URL doesn’t match the address of the company it purports to be from, it is unquestionably a phishing scam.

Featured Remarkable Results Podcast:
Growing Your Business and Striving for Greatness –
Kirk Richardson
|
|
Kirk Richardson is a young and successful entrepreneur. Born into a blue-collar, hard-working family, he was a below-average student in high school and college. At the age of 22, he left school and started his first business. He bought his first three-bay shop at the age of 24. Seven years later he bought his second shop, South Street Auto Care in Rochester, MI.
Key Talking Points include: Striving for greatness and setting bar too high for a small 3 bay shop, expecting employees to have an owner's mindset, needing to adjust in order to grow business, surrounding yourself with people that can counteract your weaknesses and so much more!

The ADA Checklist: 2019 - 2020 Compliance Guidelines to Make Your Website Accessible |
|
ADA website compliance and web accessibility are two terms that are used interchangeably but they are distinct from one another.
ADA stands for the Americans with Disabilities Act which prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability. Courts are construing Title III of the ADA to mean that websites must be accessible. Thus, with ADA website compliance, we're referring to the law.
