Tim Smith To Be Our Featured Guest On Our How To Be Positive In A Negative World Radio Show on Thursday Night 12/3/2009

On this Thursday night's broadcast of How To Be Positive in a Negative World my co-host Billie Jo Cornell and I will talk with Tim Smith, the founder of Smile-Therapy.com about how a steady diet of positive thoughts can help power your life toward the happiness and abundance that you naturally desire.

Tim Smith

About Tim Smith:

Probably the most important thing that can be said about T.A. Smith is this: He is just an ordinary guy like the rest of us. But for the curious at heart, we have included a bit of a biography of him as well as this picture below.

    * Founder was born and raised in Syracuse, New York

    * Graduate of University of Massachusetts at Amherst

    * Dale Carnegie Grad Scholar

    * 20 years experience in mortgage banking

    * Married, beautiful wife, daughter and two chocolate Labs

    * Hobbies include golf, reading, horse racing, skiing and travel

People often ask themselves the question, "Why am I here?" "What is my purpose?" Who really knows?

Founder T.A. Smith offers his purpose: I've always enjoyed helping people. I want to have fun with life. I like to work hard and, I like making people smile. Add to that, when all is said and done, I'd like to leave this world a little better place than when I arrived. As my best friend once said, "If you're going to join us, bring something to the table."

Goals in life: "Live life to the fullest – help others in need and try not to take life so seriously (since none of us will get out of it alive anyway.) To quote my Uncle Fran, "No sense in getting older if you're not going to get any wiser."

As we said, he is just an ordinary guy and hopefully this bit of information will help you to better understand the creator, his goals and his reasons for developing this website.
