Business Success Link Love – 10/15/07

Happy Sunday! Here’s the 2nd edition of my Sunday Link Love. Lots of love in this one; I had almost double the submissions from the first Link Love 2 weeks ago! This time I double-checked all the links, if you submitted an article and it’s not here, one of three things happened. It was either unrelated to business success, I thought it was spam, or you submitted too late to be included in this week’s version and your article will show up in 2 weeks.

I want to thank all the talented writers who submitted articles for this edition! So without further ado…
