Types of Business Insurance - You Need to Know

Author: Alexei
nsurance isn't just a good idea, it's necessary. With all of the variety of potential risk that your business faces, it should be your top priority to protect it. By knowing exactly what kind of insurance you need to purchase, you can limit your risks and save yourself time and money.

General liability insurance is a policy that covers the potential losses associated with any accident or negligence that occurred on business property. By purchasing general liability insurance you can protect yourself from the devastating losses that accidents can bring about.

The next kind of insurance that your business might need is called product liability insurance. Whether your business manufactures, distributes or sells a product, you are responsible for the safety of the product. If a person is injured while using your product because of a defect, your business is financially liable. By purchasing this policy you can successfully protect yourself against any such claims.

The next crucial kind of insurance that your business may want to purchase is called professional liability insurance. If your business provides a service in which errors could potentially cost customers large sums of money, this policy would be a good investment. This is the kind of insurance that covers against any claims of malpractice or negligence on your business's behalf.

Another important insurance policy that you should be aware of is called commercial property insurance. This covers against any potential physical loss due to fire, flood, wind or any other natural disaster. This insurance policy also covers any potential criminal action taken against your business such as vandalism or theft of property. It is available in a two forms: all-inclusive policies and an issue specific policy. By having commercial property insurance you can cover against any potential loss of property or income that may happen to your business.

Finally the last policy that your business may need is referred to as home-based business insurance. It's a relatively common misconception that if you operate a home business your homeowner's insurance covers any losses from your home.

Seven Steps for Building a Million Dollar Private Practice

Author: David Steele
Private practice professionals typically conduct a very personal, intimate service that address the biggest, most important human needs, goals, and challenges imaginable. In any other industry the ability to solve such hugely critical problems would attract venture capital investment and make the providers of such expertise very wealthy.

Yet, why are so many practitioners struggling to get clients and make a living? They are motivated by ideals, not profits. They shy away from calling attention to themselves, preferring to be of service to their clients. They resist marketing and are uncomfortable asking for money. They undervalue their services, and therefore, their services are undervalued.

Is a Million Dollar Practice Possible?

Our social problems of divorce, unemployment, domestic violence, juvenile delinquency, stress, disease, depression, anxiety, are getting worse, not better. Private practice professionals devote their lives to addressing these problems and it doesn't serve themselves or society if they devalue their contributions.

Just as inventive, entrepreneurial engineers and scientists create wealth by solving problems and advancing technology; private practice professionals can be just as inventive and entrepreneurial and build a successful and lucrative business that makes a significant difference addressing the social problems within their field of expertise.

There are numerous examples of helping professionals that have leveraged their expertise to build Multi-Million Dollar Practices, including Anthony Robbins (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), Jack Canfield (personal/professional development), John Gray (relationships), Deepak Chopra (mind/body/spirit), and many others. While most practitioners might not believe such success is possible for them, we have much to learn from how these and other Million Dollar Practices were developed that can be applied by most private practice professionals.

The Six Figure vs.The Million Dollar Practice

Many private practice professionals aspire to build a "six-figure practice" as the pinnacle of professional and financial success. This was my goal years ago as a Marriage and Family Therapist in private practice. Since then, I've met and exceeded my goal by building a very successful relationship coaching business in my local area, founded Relationship Coaching Institute (the first and largest relationship coach training organization), published practice-building books and products (Private Practice Marketing on a Budget, Private Practice Magic, etc), and founded to help private practice professionals build their ideal practice filled with their ideal clients. Over the past 25 years I've helped thousands of private practice professionals build successful practices using creative business models, and some have moved on to build six and seven figure businesses.

I've learned a lot about what works and what doesn't to get clients and build and market a successful private practice, and I'm fascinated by the idea that we don't have to settle for a "six figure practice;" we can make the world a better place and achieve significant financial success at the same time.

Comparing the Six Figure Practice and Million Dollar Practice

- The Six Figure Practice typically exchanges time for dollars - The Million Dollar Practice has multiple revenue streams

- The Six Figure Practice typically provides a standard service commonly found elsewhere - The Million Dollar Practice provides unique and creative services unavailable anywhere else

- The Six Figure Practice typically emphasizes quality service and benefits - The Million Dollar Practice emphasizes life-changing results

- The Six Figure Practice is typically composed of one practitioner and a few staff - The Million Dollar Practice is a collaboration of motivated partners providing complementary talents and contributions

- The Six Figure Practice seeks to make a comfortable living - The Million Dollar Practice seeks to make a social impact

M.I.S.S.I.O.N. of the Million Dollar Practice

Here are some key elements I observe that contribute to the success of the Million Dollar Practice, using the acronym "MISSION:"

M- Message that resonates and gives people hope for solutions to their biggest goals, problems, and fears.

I- Integrity of leaders, staff, promises, builds trust. They appear to walk their talk and as a result no-one seems to begrudge their financial success.

S- Systems for efficient marketing, enrollment, service delivery.

S- Sales are a priority, and time, effort, and staff are committed to following up with prospects. They are not shy about charging for their services!

I- Inspiration motivates participants into action towards their desired results. They realize that their success depends upon the success of their clients.

O- Organization leverages relationships with media, staff, vendors, partners and participants for efficient and effective functioning, marketing and growth. The synergy of all the pieces working together creates a well-oiled machine that gets results for all involved.

N- Need addresses significant goal or challenge experienced by a large percentage of the population. They are a pioneer and leader in meeting this need.

Seven Steps for Building Your Million Dollar Practice

1. Identify a significant problem or need you can address effectively

2. Develop your own branded approach to addressing this need

3. Publish related articles, books, programs, and products

4. Bring in associates, support staff, mentors- don't do this alone!

5. Market your products and services by speaking, writing, and networking

6. Create systems and build your organization to become a well-oiled machine

7. Dream big, play large, attempt to make the biggest social impact possible

As a private practice professional you have priceless expertise that can solve significant human problems, enhance quality of life, and make the world a better place for all of us. You deserve professional and financial success. Your audience needs you and is waiting for you to show up. My wish for you is that you will find a way to leverage your calling and gifts to meet their needs and build a Million Dollar Practice doing so.

How The Federal Reserve Battles Recession??

Author: JS
Historically, capitalistic societies have gone through boom and bust cycles on a regular basis. The economic good times are enjoyable for everyone involved, but sometimes the exuberance can lead to downturns, which are often painful. The Federal Reserve was created to help moderate the effects of an economic contraction and was given some powerful tools to affect the money supply and keep the economy out of recession. The establishment of a Central Bank went through many convolutions prior to becoming a non partisan guardian of monetary policy. During the American Revolution, the Continental Congress printed the new nation's first paper money, known as "continentals". Later, at the urging of Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton, Congress established the First Bank of the United States, headquartered in Philadelphia, in 1791. By 1811, with a backlash toward the large banking establishment brewing, the bank's 20-year charter expired and Congress refused to renew it by one vote. By 1816, Congress agreed to charter the Second Bank of the United States, but Andrew Jackson, a central bank foe, was elected president in 1828 and he was successful in allowing the charter to expire. State-chartered banks and unhardened "free banks" took hold and began issuing their own notes, redeemable in gold. The New York Clearinghouse Association was established in 1853 to provide a way for the city's banks to exchange checks and settle accounts. During the Civil War the National Banking Act of 1863 was passed, providing for nationally chartered banks, whose circulating notes had to be backed by U.S. government securities. Although the National Banking Act of 1863 established some measure of currency stability for the growing nation, bank runs and financial panics continued to plague the economy. In 1893 a banking panic triggered the worst depression the United States had ever seen, and the economy stabilized only after the intervention of financial mogul J.P. Morgan. In 1907 a bout of speculation on Wall Street ended in failure, triggering a particularly severe banking panic. The Aldrich-Vreeland Act of 1908, passed as an immediate response to the panic of 1907, provided for emergency currency issues during crises. It also established the National Monetary Commission to search for a long-term solution to the nation's banking and financial problems. By December 23, 1913, when President Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act into law, it stood as a classic example of compromise -- a decentralized central bank that balanced the competing interests of private banks and populist sentiment. Originally, the mandate of the Federal Reserve was not envisioned as an entity which would utilize an active monetary policy to stabilize the economy. The idea of using an economic stabilization policy only dates from the work of John Maynard Keynes in 1936. Instead, the founders viewed the Fed as a means of preventing the supplies of money and credit from drying up during economic contractions, as often happened prior to World War I. The central banks function has changed since the days of the Great Depression, and the Fed now primarily manages the growth of bank reserves and money supply to help stabilize growth during expansions. In order to control the money supply, the Fed uses three main tools to change bank reserves. These tools are a change in reserve requirements, a change in the either the discount rate or the federal funds rate, and the use of Open-market operations. Changing the reserve ratio is a seldom used, but quite powerful tool at the Feds disposal. The reserve ratio is the percentage of reserves a bank is required to hold against deposits. A decrease in the ratio will allow the bank to lend more, which will increase the supply of money. An increase in the ratio will have the opposite effect. One of the principal ways in which the Fed provides insurance against financial panics is to act as the "lender of last resort", one of the tools used recently as the subprime mortgage debacle led to a credit crunch in the summer of 2007. When business prospects made commercial banks hesitant to extend credit, the Fed stepped in by lending money to the banks, thereby inducing banks to lend more money to their customers. The Federal Reserve does this by lending at the discount window and changing the discount rate. The federal funds rate is the interest rate that banks charge each other. The federal funds rate target is decided at Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meetings. Depending on their agenda and the economic conditions of the U.S., the FOMC members will either increase, decrease, or leave the rate unchanged. It is possible to infer the market expectations of the FOMC decisions at future meetings from the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) Fed Funds futures contracts, and these probabilities are widely reported in the financial media. The Federal Reserves open-market operations consist of the buying and selling of government securities by the Fed. If the Fed buys back issued securities (such as Treasury bills) from large banks and securities dealers, it increases the money supply in the hands of the public. The Fed can decrease the supply of money when it sells a security. The monetary expansion following an open-market operation involves adjustments by banks and the public. When the Fed buys securities from a member bank, the bank's reserves increase, thereby encouraging it to lend . When the bank makes an additional loan, the person receiving the loan gets a bank deposit. These actions cause the money supply to increase by more than the amount of the open-market operation. This multiple expansion of the money supply is called the money multiplier. Today, the Fed uses its tools to control the supply of money to help stabilize the economy. When the economy is slumping, the Fed increases the supply of money to spur growth. Conversely, when inflation is threatening, the Fed reduces the risk by shrinking the supply. While the Fed's mission of "lender of last resort" is still important, the Fed's role in managing the economy has expanded since its origin. As we near the end of the first quarter of 2008, the Fed has been lowering interest rates because the threat to growth has taken precedence over the Feds concern about inflation. Therefore, at this juncture, the Fed is working to keep the economy out of recession and attempting a "soft landing".

Craft Home Business

Author: Nirmal
A craft home business is the ideal business enterprise for people who love arts and crafts. It is the best way to make the most of an individual’s natural artistic ability. There is a wide variety of craft home businesses that can be very profitable. Some of the most popular crafts for a home business include candle making, beading, quilting, soap making, flower pressing, crocheting, and even woodworking.

Craft home businesses are not only for women but also for men. Regardless of gender, both men and women have succeeded in setting up a crafting business at home. These people have made the most of their natural talent for creating beautiful objects and profited beautifully at the same time.

Types of Crafting Businesses to Start at Home Today

Candle making is one of the most popular crafting businesses for the home. There is always a market for people making candles as they make great gifts. At the same time, candles are a great accent to have in the home. The look as well as the scent of candles has come a long way since they were first made. Today, candles come in a variety of shapes, sizes and scents that will surely be big sellers.

The craft of beading has experienced a revival, as many people are attracted to the rustic appeal of the products created. An entrepreneur can produce dozens of beaded items in just a few hours and sell them for a profit. However, as with any craft home business it is important to be familiar with the basic techniques in order to create a unique trademark that is different from the rest.

Quilting is a traditional craft business that requires skill and patience. This type of craft home business is generally done by hand but there are machines available that can help speed the process along. However, most handmade quilt pieces are worth more than machine made quilts.

Another popular crafting home business is soap making using organic ingredients. Organic soaps offer more than just cleanliness based on the type of ingredient used. Soap making kits are available to help one get started on a craft home business.

Pressed flowers are another craft home business that can be turned into great gifts as well as home decorations. Flower pressing is relatively an easy craft that even people with only a hint of creativity can attempt and still make money.

Woodworking is another craft home business that both men and women can do. Handmade toys are making a big comeback in the toy industry and are also a great way to make use of one’s woodworking talents.

Your Business Plan Will Become Your Partner

Are you planning to start a new business? Or are you considering expanding your current business and require a bank loan or investment from outsiders?

If you are going to look for an investment of capital it is quite likely that you will be required to have a business plan. If you are starting a business, despite the work involved, a business plan can prepare you for the obstacles ahead and help ensure your success.

A business plan is something that many small businesses fail to create; however, many business owners are adamant that having a written business plan is one of the keys to their present success. Creating a business plan forces you to contemplate possible obstacles to your business and prepares you to find solutions that will help you to overcome them.

To find investors or get a bank loan, they will want to see that you have the experience or resources to run the business. They will want to see your projected income as well as your suggested repayment plan already laid out. Taking the time to do this is not only important for them, but it gives you a measuring tool to verify if your business is growing properly. You can gage your success on how close to the plan your business has actually performed. Perhaps you'll do worse, or perhaps you'll do better, either way it helps you determine how well your business is getting on.

If you have never seen a business plan before you may be concerned that is too difficult a proposition for you to manage on your own.

While there are services available where you can hire someone to write a business plan for you, depending on your needs it may be wise to familiarize yourself with a business plan's layout. This will not only help you to provide the necessary information, but may encourage you to try your own hand at it.

Free market capitalism for our economic problems is accusing a ghost.

Everywhere I turn, I see, read and hear how capitalism has destroyed the American economy. The political Left blames capitalism outright, while the political Right claims capitalism is the American ideal. The elitists in banking, government, academia and the media give lip-service to the idea of a free market, when they, in fact, have no use for it. The real purpose of claiming that free markets are the American ideal is to give the collectivist a scapegoat to blame for all their nefarious wealth redistribution programs. Too many of today's activists have fallen for this intentional misdirection.Everywhere I turn, I see, read and hear how capitalism has destroyed the American economy. The political Left blames capitalism outright, while the political Right claims capitalism is the American ideal.

The real purpose of claiming that free markets are the American ideal is to give the collectivist a scapegoat to blame for all their nefarious wealth redistribution programs. Too many of today's activists have fallen for this intentional misdirection.
Blaming free market capitalism for our economic problems is accusing a ghost. It has been dead for a long time. It was first stabbed in the back in 1913 when the U.S. Congress passed the Federal Reserve Act and the United States Revenue Act (creating the IRS).
The Federal Reserve Act gave a private cartel of international bankers control over the very essence of a free market; our medium of exchange, our money. This put the free market into a death spiral. Now factor in the Legal Tender Act which prohibits any form of lawful money except the Federal Reserve Note. It is this Legal Tender Law that gives the Federal Reserve bankers their money monopoly. Without this law, individual enterprise could offer alternative commodity-backed money and compete with the FRB head to head. But honest competition is not what the elitist central planners want. Well, at least our new federal money still had some value. It was backed by gold, but not for long.
The Federal Reserve can control interest rates by expanding or contracting the quantity of money. It can control the financial markets with its “Open Market Operations.” It can create new money to increase its member's bank reserves at any time. It can negotiate with foreign banks on monetary policies without congressional approval or knowledge. And it can do all of this with virtually no oversight by any elected representative of the people. Even the Government Accounting Office responsible for auditing all government agencies, has no auditing authority over the Federal Reserve, a private corporation not a government agency.
Without the ability to judge the cost of capital by the true market value of interest rates, determined by the availability of savings for investing and future consumption, no free market can correctly judge its financial health. These false signals along with government regulations are what create booms and busts in our economy, not free market actions. The Federal Reserve and the government manipulate the appearance of economic prosperity for personal and political gain and then blame free market capitalism when the inevitable adjustments occur (busts).
By creating the Internal Revenue Service (collection arm of the Federal Reserve), government makes the claim that our individual production, property and privacy no longer, in any real sense, belongs to us. Congress can change the tax rates and rules at any time, favoring some at the expense of others, and is about to do so again. This privilege of the central planners has driven many a productive individual to send their manufacturing and creative endeavors elsewhere. This put American free market capitalism on life support, still breathing, but barely.
In 1933, by Executive Order of the President (FDR), all Americans were required to surrender their gold to the government. This took away our right to trade in the most respected of all possible commodities used to secure value in our economic exchanges. Not only did government confiscate our gold, they also prohibited redemption of U.S. Dollars for gold by any American. Of course, the international bankers were still allowed to exchange dollars for gold. Now you know where our gold went. FDR pulled the plug on value-backed money for American enterprise, dooming free market capitalism to a slow and painful death.
In 1971, President Nixon reneged on the “Bretton Woods Accord” removing the international gold redemption for the U.S. dollar. Unfortunately, it was too late. It is probable that the international bankers already own most of what was our country's gold. No longer would our dollars be backed by anything other than our central banker's and government's “Good Faith.” No free market can exist without the right to exchange productive value for productive value. In the years that followed, no longer constrained by a gold-backed dollar, big government warfare/welfare spending exploded.
What we have today is not free market capitalism, it is corporatism. Corporatism is a form of fascism, where big business and government work as partners at the expense of the productive class. We have the military/pharmaceutical/energy/media/industrial complex and the elitist central planners of big government ruling our country. We see a revolving door of big business CEO's and bankers taking key government positions of power. They then move back into their private positions after accomplishing their goals of amassing great wealth for their friends and themselves. This is the outward signs of corporatism for everyone to see. But few are aware or care!
The change we were promised, if we would just vote for anyone except a Republican, is only a change in the national figurehead. Only in such an environment of big government and corporatism is greed truly rampant. Free market capitalism and the Rule of Law can not exist in the same society with either.
We who believe in free markets under the rule of law can not argue against a lie unless we expose it for the lie it is. The free market died when our money became nothing more than the confiscation of our production. Tell America to stop dragging around the corpse of free market capitalism as its whipping boy. We should all have the decency to give the dead some respect for what might have been.
Rest In Peace, Free Market Capitalism

MAKING MONEY FROM BUSINESS PLAN:

Author: Ayaz Haider
The success in business comes from planning. It is necessary to have a detailed and well-written business plan in order to be successful in business industry. A well-written business plan will clearly define your goals and objectives, marketing plan, target audience, industry and financial projection.
Writing a business plan is a time consuming task. Therefore, mostly business owners fell fatigued in writing a business plan by themselves due to less time. They hire professional business plan writers or buy business plan from business plan service providers.
Business plan services provide custom business plan that will lead your business towards success, as it is written by professional business plan writers. Professional business plan writing requires thorough study, research and time.
Mostly entrepreneurs think that business plan and financial proposal are same or that a financial proposal represents a business plan. But it is just a misconception; financial proposal and business plan are two separate business success aids.
The business plan is the road map to success that will guide you to achieve goals and objectives you’ve set for your business, while financial proposal is the part of business plan that contains financial projection and it is a request for money from potential investors and lenders. It is based on your business history and objectives. Business plan and financial proposal are not the same, but they are closely related.

Brand Definition in Strategic Brand Planning…

Author: sumesh
Many companies start from humble beginnings and grow organically without any solid plans for brand development. As these companies reach a certain point in their growth, they often come to realize that, in order to break through to the next level, they must proactively define their brand. Without taking this important step, these companies risk stagnating and failing to break through to higher brand awareness.

The development of a solid brand begins with a discovery phase, in which the company reviews its strategic materials, conducts consumer research, and conducts manager interviews to collect information about what the company stands for and where it is headed.

After the discovery phase, the company can move on to the brand definition phase. This entails a structured set of meetings held among a core team of senior managers from diverse functional areas. This Brand Team reviews the findings from the discovery phase, brainstorms elements of the new brand, and generates commitments throughout the company to abide by the Team’s decisions.

Here are the 5 dimensions of brand definition that are essential steps in building a successful brand:

1. Develop a vision for your brand: The vision for a brand consists of a broad statement of what the brand aspires to be. The vision should take a long-term perspective, in recognition of the fact that building a powerful brand does not happen in weeks or months. A solid brand vision defines the business in terms the customer can understand and relate to. It must be original, motivational and inspiring. And, the vision must get buy-in by senior management if it is to be successfully implemented.

2. Position your brand in order to differentiate yourself from competitors: Brands are multidimensional in that they usually carry with them a number of images and associations in the minds of the company and customers. However, all successful brands have a particular focus that differentiates it from those of competitors. A properly-positioned brand must transcend demographics and clearly identify likely prospects. The Brand Team identifies prospects based on which needs and motivations the brand addresses.

3. Create a personality for your brand: Ultimately, your brand must be something with which people can identify. It has to have its own personality, its own character. Your brand will likely evolve over time, but its essential character should endure.

4. Articulate the benefits your brand delivers to customers: In time your brand must come to represent a set of functional benefits in the minds of your prospects and customers. Thus, during brand definition your team must clearly articulate the set of benefits - the value - that it represents to customers. It is important to note that strong brands also carry with them a set of emotional associations. The emotional benefits of a brand are often supported by the functional benefits, and they form the basis of the brand’s positioning.

5. Define the values your brand represents: Finally, your brand must represent a particular set of values. This is because your target customer base is composed of human beings, and humans are value-motivated. If you successfully articulate the values your brand represents, you have a better chance of getting customers to associate the values of your brand with their own values. Value definition can create long-term bonds between your brand and your target customers.

Internet Marketing Company!

Author: Chander Prabha
about 3 years ago, I purchased a franchise through a company located in Fort Lauderdale Florida that for the purposes of this writing we will call “WebPlus.” WebPlus was originally founded in 1996 and was in the business of providing Internet Services including web design
, Search Engine Marketing, Email Marketing and Online Backup Services. The company had achieved varying degrees of success as I was told during the late 90’s during the boom and ultimate bust phase of the internet industry. In 2001, the company morphed into a franchising company that would provide services through a central location for franchisees who would develop local relationships with businesses seeking internet services.

The company, at one point, had close to 100 franchisees. However this did not prove successful. It was felt that the franchisee model, that is, the profile of the franchisee used in the selection process, was not business-oriented and were far too tech-oriented in the approach to the business. But, who knows … if they were trained under a proven method of doing the business, they might have succeeded.

WebPlus offered me and a few others franchises under a supposedly new model of awarding franchises to business-oriented folks like me. While there was some examples of success, WebPlus, for many reasons, never marshaled all of the elements needed to bring the best results to the marketplace.

In a last attempt to “right the ship” WebPlus brought me in as the number one franchisee to be CEO of a newly refurbished company. However, this was short-lived as it became clear that the company did not have the necessary commitments, financial and otherwise, to actually bring the company to the marketplace with the necessary “tickets” for success.
As this last gasp phase of WebPlus unfolded, I had to act immediately to protect my clients and to move them into a better situation with stable and ever-improving results. At the same time I sought to look to the future with a fresh team to improve and expand upon the business and customer relationships I had built to date.

I acted to negotiate a separation agreement with WebPlus allowing me to provide full service to my existing clients with a smooth transition. In fact, all of my clients stayed with me and we moved forward without a hiccup.

I emerged with everything intact under the new name of Optimum7. Duran Inci is now my full partner in the business coming from a decade’s worth of successful experience in all phases of internet marketing with particular emphasis on ecommerce and Search Engine Marketing. Adelard Gasana joined the company soon after as our Chief Technology Officer with many years of experience in all phases of internet design, programming and technology. I bring what I bring to all businesses that I am involved with; a successful sales and marketing track record and the operational experience that comes from owning and running a start-up for over 20 years.

Since the emergence of an independent and wholly-owned Optimum7, we have moved quickly to bring all of our clients to a new level in their online strategy and results. Proudly, all of our clients enjoy the benefits of having important keywords ranking on the top pages of the three major search engines. There is a clear cause and effect here. Prior to coming on board with us, our clients were in a “nuclear winter” online, having no online visibility and therefore no chance of being successful online. Through our proven SEO, PPC and other online processes and sub-specialties, Google Keyword rankings have skyrocketed to truly elite positions within our clients’ targeted markets. We are bringing on new clients and the company continues to grow with our clients.

Looking forward, we continue to hone our processes by staying updated and “expert” in all phases of Internet Marketing. We are beginning to grow virally, albeit on a relatively small scale at this point, however, this is a key testament to the fact that we are becoming noteworthy, visible and relevant in the eyes of those seeking to succeed on the internet.

I am a simple guy. I came into this business with an initial passion; the power of the internet lies in the power of the search engines. Those that become visible through the search engines and have a solid business model associated with it will be highly successful because the value proposition will be immense and obvious for those who truly under understand the power of the internet. If I can help businesses harness the power of the internet, become truly highly visible, I will provide great value and I can grow into an ever increasingly valuable business.

This passion is still there and growing stronger all of the time. We look forward to great mutual successes with our clients as we “show the way” to true online success.

Business Management Plan Tips

Author: Growthink Inc
A Business Plan must present a clear set of actions showing what the business will do, as well as how these activities will be managed.

Executive Management

At the top of the business’s organization chart must be a CEO with a vision for what the business can be, leadership experience, and, hopefully, industry expertise qualifying him or her to work in the business’s sector. The management team description should spend most of its space detailing the qualifications of this CEO, whether it is the founder, a partner the founder has brought on, or a hired director. If readers of the plan are convinced of the ability of the CEO to lead, they will be much less concerned that other plans be written in as explicit detail. They will put much more trust in the CEO in these cases.

Quality and Financial Controls

Statements in the plan about how high the quality of the product or service will be must be presented alongside descriptions of the quality control measures in place in order to be convincing. Management must show their commitment to quality control and supervise the systems which check and insure product or service quality at key points in the manufacturing, sales, or service delivery process. The operations plan should include mention of quality control systems.

Functional Management

Finally, each functional department of the company needs a manager assigned to it, although this can all be the same manager or the CEO for a small company. The business plan must show an understanding of what these key functions are that will require management time, short descriptions of management work will be required, and the assignment of these responsibilities. For example, the marketing may be assigned to the CEO because of its great importance in the early days of the business while a separate day-to-day operations or store manager may be hired to handle logistics and staff training.

Business Writing Blunders.

Author: user2.a2services
Here are ten types of sentence blunders to avoid if you want your reader to get what you mean and not have to stumble through what you write.

1. Run-On Sentences. You know the ones: they drag on and on, packing a paragraph’s worth of details into a single sentence. Short sentences are easier to understand than long ones; they provide information in bits and pieces instead of a flood. In most business writing, aim for an average sentence length of 20 or fewer words. Note that this is an average, not a ceiling—the best writing contains both long and short sentences to keep it interesting.

2. Pompous Sentences. Many business writers use a phrase or a whole clause when a well-chosen verb would be much clearer. They do so to try to make themselves appear more knowledgeable or articulate than they actually are. Don’t fall prey to this error by using big words or trite expressions—keep your writing at the level of your reader.

3. Overloaded Sentences. Such sentences are bloated with excess words. The passive voice is a common culprit, adding unnecessarily to the word count. Redundancies are also to blame—verbose phrases can usually be replaced with one or two words, making your sentences concise and meaningful.

4. Undue Enthusiasm. An occasional intensifier lends emphasis, but using too many can ruin your writing and give the impression that you’re not being genuine. Otherwise, you come across like the literary version of a game-show host—wear that grin too bright for too long, and it will lose its meaning.

5. Crowded-Together Sentences. Many writers tend to try to connect a series of related sentences with conjunctions such as "and" instead of ending each with a period. In many cases these sentences can be improved and shortened by using only one subject.

6. Hedging Sentences. It is tempting to insert "it seems that" or "there appears to be" in your sentences in order to avoid stating a judgment as a fact. But when you have too many such hedges, particularly in the same sentence, you aren’t really saying anything. More often than not, your reader will know what is fact and what is inference.

7. Slow Starters. Starting a sentence with "it is" or "there are" simply delays getting to your point. Compare: "It would be appreciated if you could send the files immediately," versus "Please send the files immediately."

8. Nonparallel Sentences. Two or more similar (parallel) ideas should be presented in the same pattern, whether within sentences or between sentences. Lack of parallelism creates an awkward style. For example, the clauses in this sentence are not parallel: "Mr. Reynolds dictated the letter and next he signed it, and left the office." Compared that to this: "Mr. Reynolds dictated the letter, signed it, and left the office."

9. Awkward Pointers. To save words, business writers will often point readers’ attention backward with expressions like "as mentioned above," "the aforementioned," "the former." "the latter," and so on. Doing so is a distraction to the reader and is usually unnecessary. If a reference does need to be made, it’s better to name or restate the specific thing being referred to.

10. Misassembled Sentences. A misassembled sentence is one in which an element is in the wrong place. The most common misplacement is at the beginning of the sentence, creating a "dangling modifier." Take this awkward example: "Walking the office, a red sports car passed him." Moving the modifier is an easy solution here: "A red sport car passed him while he was walking to the office."

Finding a Foreign Exchange Broker to Suit Your Needs

by: Andy Richards
Foreign exchange brokers or forex brokers provide traders and investors with information on foreign markets, exchanges and currencies in order to buy or sell on foreign markets. These brokers are usually part of a full service brokerage firm and are accredited in their area of expertise, offerings and services.

Forex brokers are paid on commissions through a spread that is offered by the brokerage. The spread is usually measured in pips, which calculates to the difference between the value of the bid and the offer received. This can vary as the bids vary in amounts so there is no minimum or flat fee associated with the transactions for foreign exchanges.

Forex brokers are accredited on various currencies and their rates so you are free to trade on any exchange. These brokers are familiar with all the terms, conditions and rules established by exchanges for trading currencies. They understand how to reliably and accurately swap between various currencies depending on the market conditions globally. Exchanging and swapping currencies during your trading provides you with wide investment options as well as various commission opportunities for the forex broker.

It is important that your forex broker provide stop losses and that they guarantee these stop losses to minimize your investment risks. If your forex broker offers stop losses find out what the fee includes and their overall charge for this transaction. Determine whether the advice they are providing is helping in your investments or jeopardizing. If it is jeopardizing then it could be in your best interest to locate a new broker.

Another important offering your forex broker should provide is slippage. Basically slippage is when the price you request as compared to the price you actually got during your trade differs. If you are experiencing an excessive amount of slippage with your current broker, then you would be wise to select a forex broker with more experience.

Business Marketing: Three Simple Steps to Wean Off One-On-One Clients and Create Leveraged Income

Author: Summerhawk
Yes, you love your clients but honestly, too much one-on-one work can leave you feeling exhausted and strapped for time, plus it can limit how much you can make. You end up not only feeling burnt out but feeling broke, even though you're working plenty hard. When it comes to money and marketing, this is the time to create a solution that will keep you and your clients happy.
The good news is that the solution is actually pretty simple: you must add "leveraged" (as well as "passive") revenue streams to your business so you have the freedom to choose how much or how little one-on-one work you offer.
Leveraged streams of income are ones where you're making significantly more money for your time spent, or you're impacting greater numbers of people. Passive revenue streams are when you do the work once, then keep getting paid, paid, paid.
Obviously, passive revenue sounds like a dream come true, and it can be. But it does take some time and an investment of money to put everything into place that you'll need to replace your one-on-one income. Among the tasks you'll need to do to make this happen before you even see a dime are: creating information products, writing a compelling website, driving traffic to your site and converting that traffic into product sales.
Creating leveraging income is actually a lot faster and easier, which is why I always coach my Platinum clients to focus on that first. Truth is, it's often possible to completely transform your income and free up your time within a few days of learning my method.
So, how do you free up your time and add leveraged income to your business? Here are three simple steps to get you started today.
Step #1: Start Thinking "Platinum"
You know all the services you're currently giving away for peanuts? It's time to shift them into a new high-end client offer. This will add significant income to your business AND allow you to take on fewer clients. While you're at it, streamline what your high-level package includes so you're actually working less than you were before…only for more money.
Step #2: Add Virtual or In-Person "VIP" Days to Your Business Model
Clients love exclusive access to you and will pay handsomely for a day of your devoted time and attention. You can choose to offer your VIP day virtually over the telephone, or in person. Either way, you'll take your client through your step-by-step system and map out what's needed to create a breakthrough. The breakthrough for YOU is significantly leveraging your time for a bigger payday.
Step #3: Focus on Building J.V. Relationships to Grow Your List
Sure, writing articles and blog posts is great for list building. But to really gain leverage in your life and business you need to grow your list by big leaps, not by small increments. I recommend reaching out to key people who also market to your same audience and inviting them to partner with you on a special event.
You can easily put together an online launch, a teleseminar or telesummit, or host a panel of experts. Whichever you decided to do, make sure that each expert is required to promote the event to their list, and that participants must sign up for the event on your website which gets them into your database. With a significantly bigger list your next product or program launch is going to bring in greater numbers of people who want to purchase from you.
Weaning Off One-on-One Isn't Scary When You Have A Plan
Follow these simple steps and you can literally transform your business practically overnight, leaving behind much of the one-on-one work that drains you. You'll replace it with joyful, abundant and alternative ways to make more doing what you love.

Kendall delivers simple ways entrepreneurs can design and price their services to quickly move away from 'dollars-for-hours work' and create more money, time and freedom in their businesses.

Growth Of Business 5 Secrets Of An Innovation Business Model

by: Dr Mark Yates

Six Mistakes to Avoid in the Coming Recovery

by: Ed Biernat

While the Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke noted last week that the recession is "very likely over", the recovery is just beginning. Many executives and business owners want to get through these changes and get back to 'business as usual,' and therein lies the problem. "Business as usual" has caused (or at least exacerbated) the issue, so going back may not be in the company's long term interest.

Productivity normally rises during a downturn, since everyone is watching the books more and the organization works hard to do more with less. The normal increase in productivity in past recessions (1970 - present) averages about .8 , or 3X the average of the prior six recessions. While part of this increase is the significant cuts to worker pay and benefits, part of this increased productivity may be from better utilization of your human capital and smarter business processes. Don't sacrifice this gain by retrenching into past practices. Here are some pitfalls to avoid.

Repopulating the company 1 for 1.

The majority of companies have had to lay off a higher number of employees than in past downturns. And now that things are turning around, they want to bring them back as quickly as possible. One reason for that desire is loyalty to the individual, and that is highly commendable. Part of it is that the manager is using an old paradigm that if sales increase X%, I will need to restaff with Y number of people. That paradigm may have been shattered.

· The tasks we do in an organization can be divided into value added [VA] (those that service the customer) and non value added [NVA] (consume resources but do not add value). Capture what is being done right now. How are you able to get it all done with a skeleton crew? What isn't getting done? Evaluate if it ever needs to come back.

· If it needs to be done, be creative on the how and the who. Who needs to do it? Typically we have highly skilled workers doing a mix of value added and non value added work. What if you pulled most of the NVA work from them and pooled it into a less skilled (and preferably temporary) person? And how does it need to be done? Instead of adding staff, could these NVA jobs be automated? Outsourced?

· Remember the bargaining agreement if you have one. Work within it or start setting the stage for changes. The goal is to get the bulk of the people back in productive work as needed while giving them some better assurance that they are on board for the long haul. The mechanisms to redistribute the NVA tasks are up to you. Think out of the box.

· What about those employees that you couldn't move because they knew too much or had a special skill set that the organization couldn't live without? Now is the time to correct that by getting them to put it in writing the magic that they do. Unless, of course, you want to be held hostage again sometime in the future.

Being too slow to add resources.

· Stay ahead of the curve when adding resources. This will allow you go after the NVA activities as you identify them. You will need the extra bandwidth to follow recommendations and use this recovery time to continuously improve the organization.

· Focus on servicing your current customers extremely well. Now is the chance to delight them - you need them more than ever. Make sure the front line customer support team has the resources to do the job right. This is particularly true since you are looking to attract new customers to replace ones you may have lost. First impressions are key and may be a major differentiator for your company against its competitors.

· Some resources will take a while to get due to lead time on equipment or locating the right skill set. Start those earlier than you might otherwise to make sure they are there when you need them and that they are the best available. (First movers here will probably get a great deal on critical resources, both human and physical.)

· As you replace lost personnel, hire for behaviors first, skill set second. If the individual has the right attitude and some expertise and ability in the area, the specific nuances of the job can be acquired. It is much harder to change a person's behavior - what you hire is what you get. If you are a first mover to acquire these individuals, you will have a greater chance to find people with both the right behaviors and the right skill set.

Ignoring your suppliers.

· You may have had to add some in haste since your original ones went out of business. Now is the time to do due diligence to make sure they are the ones for the long haul.

· These suppliers helped you through the hard times. As the money returns, be sure to pay them closer to the original terms. They have probably earned it. But, if the new reality really is net 60 versus the old net 30, start that dialogue now.

· As you look at NVA activities, you may find a fit with suppliers. It may not be your core skills but it might one of theirs. It may not be a bad thing to select a few key suppliers and work to partner with them more.

Failing to reevaluate your customers.

· Stay close to your key customers. They kept you going. Continue to service them well through the recovery. The general tendency is to flock to the newest customers most often. Resist the temptation. Make all your customers priority customers.

· But take a good long look at them. Are they really the customers of your future? Some of them may need to get replaced, not today, but over time. Identifying them early will allow you the most flexibility in your future agreements.

· Work with them like your suppliers but in reverse. Is there a way that you can take some of their perceived NVA activities that fit your skill set? How can you integrate your company into their day to day activities more?

· Now is also the time to understand what is their view of the new reality. Your organization probably made concessions to keep the business. You need to understand what concessions are parts of their business model going forward, and which ones will return to normal and when. It is hard to do while you are still starving, but don't wait too long or you may lose some bargaining room.

Being blind to potential infrastructure issues.

· Since you probably stripped your resources (lived off of inventory, stock, etc.), think before you bring it all back in kind. Take a snapshot of what you currently are using and what you didn't use at all. During this recovery, some things may be difficult to get quickly. Be the first mover to replace what you will need eventually. On the flip side, you may have items that you don't need and that may be in demand. Somewhere during this ramp up may be a great time to rid yourself of these at a profit if you have them identified and have that as part of your game plan.

· What corners did you cut that still got the job done? You may have stopped all preventive maintenance, for example, but you know that isn't a sustainable answer. Evaluate what was done and not done, and do your VA/NVA analysis. If it falls into the NVA side, figure out how to get rid of it or automate it. If it is a VA activity, put it on your priority list to restart as soon as practical.

· That includes ERP/MRP protocols as well as what equipment to bring back on line. If you are getting along without it, think twice before bringing that practice back. Anne Mulchahy, Chairman of Xerox, noted in a recent interview that the company is evaluating the new ways that things are getting done as a result of the recession and making the ideas and process changes that make sense part of the company culture. Never waste a good idea!

· Take time to evaluate the overall impact of the recession on your infrastructure. Don't be one of those companies that have to stutter-step their recovery because of infrastructure snafus. That especially goes for critical equipment, processes and people. As you regain bandwidth, make sure that either they are made robust or add some redundancy.

Maintaining a management mindset focused on returning to "business as usual".

· Your management team just went through a graduate course on how to survive a significant downturn, so why wouldn't you use that knowledge going forward? We did a straw poll on how managers are reacting to this downturn. The overwhelming response was, "I can't wait to get this behind us to get back to business as usual." So much for the diploma.

· If you followed the advice of most change guru's, you got very close to your employees during this time and communicated a lot more than you have historically. Don't throw this one aside as things start back up. Managing by Wandering Around, visible management and Going to Gemba work ALL the time. Make this part of the new management paradigm.

· You may have reduced your management headcount as well as the first line workers. Rethink how you restaff your support team. This is an opportunity to make some of the structural changes that you may have been considering. Also, decide what your company culture will look like going forward. Have you started to rely more on teams versus command and control? Make sure that you bring back only those individuals that will reinforce this new way of working.

This has been a challenging time for management at every level, and hard time for everyone in the organization. Now is the opportunity to turn the time, effort and money that the recession cost the company for a investment into a smarter and more solid future. What would you like your organization to look like and act like three years from now? Today is the day to start making that vision a reality.

Experience Counts: The Business Case for Hiring Mature Workers (A Three-part Series)

by: Lisa Jordan & Janet Marinaccio
It is estimated by the Bureau of Labor Statistics that by 2014 approximately 78 million baby boomers will leave the workforce. At the same time, just over 75 million workers will follow to replace them. However, numerous reports tell us that on the whole, baby boomers are planning later retirements, and many are seeking “encore” careers – allowing them to keep working past retirement age. Some are doing so because “working hard” has helped define this generation, others for economic reasons. Whatever the motivation, they want to work, and based on official projections, employers are going to need them.

This three part series will explore ways for employers to invest in the experience of mature workers and meet growing labor market demands.

Part One: You Can’t Teach Attitude

Human resource professionals usually hope for the ideal candidate: someone who has superior job skills AND is proficient in “soft skills” such as a responsibility, honesty, integrity, excellent communication, ability to problem-solve, open to learning, and so on.

They can dream, can’t they?

In reality, the hiring manager often has to decide between the person with excellent job skills and a poor attitude, or someone with “good enough” job skills, a great attitude and is teachable in the specific requirements of the job. According to experts, the second candidate is often the best choice.

In today’s workforce, one group that has these exceptional soft skills is mature workers (age 55 and older). In a recent survey that was conducted as a part of the Mature Workers’ Concerns During Job Transition research project coordinated by the L.A. County Workforce Investment Board, Mature Worker Council, and Dr. Pam Gefke, of the School of Behavioral and Organizational Sciences at Claremont Graduate University, employers reported that mature workers are viewed as being “ethical, loyal and experienced” and having “credibility, commitment and good judgment.” These workers are also perceived by employers to lack technology and computer skills.

Most employers will say that you typically can’t change who people are, but you can change what they know. So when choosing between a younger worker who has been using a computer since they could walk, but may lack commitment, ethics and life experience, and a mature worker with a fantastic attitude, who is teachable, which hire makes the best business sense?

Make Money at Home: Preparing Your Environment

by: Richard Harley
When you are committed to make money at home, it's just as important to prepare an adequate working space for yourself as it is a product and find a market. If you have space, but are not organized physically, you will find your work reflects a casual attitude and you may find that you can't find the latest files that are needed in order to prepare your quarterly tax returns. Some of the factors that must be considered when you are preparing your environment are lighting, furniture and security. Here are a few tips to help you establish a great working environment.

Lighting

The proper lighting in a working area where you make money from home is just as important as in an office. Ideally, you can adjust the light level so that you have a mixture of natural and artificial lighting in your work space. The proper lighting levels at different times of the day and night can mean the difference between eye strain with accompanying headaches and blurred vision and a stress free environment. You should look into the value of long life light bulbs for savings over the years of use. The softer light emitted by some bulbs also make eye strain less likely.

Furniture

The basics of the furniture that you use in a home office are important. You will almost certainly need a computer to make money at home and thus will need a computer desk on which to place the computer equipment. Be sure to leave room enough so that the computer peripherals are also placed in a position to be easily reachable. You will need a good chair that supports your back and hips correctly, particularly if you are working at the computer for extended periods. You will need other furniture such as cabinets and work tables in order to stay organized.

Security

The security of your documents, correspondence, financial transactions and other computer files are critical if you plan to earn money from home. You must be able to assure customers that their sensitive information is never compromised by actions you take. Today, there are constant threats to the integrity of computer systems and computer files either directly or through internet hackers online. You must also be certain that you don't allow children or pets to destroy critical documents related to your online business. A third area of security is that of protecting vital information needed for tax purposes. Use good security practices on the internet.
