Small Business Marketing - Does No Money Equal No Client

You are now a business owner, congratulations! You have everything you need right down to the business plan but one thing is missing. Customers. As you sit in the darkness of your living room at night, you wonder how you can afford to advertise and where. The next morning you go through the online Yellow Pages looking for a company that specializes in marketing or advertising, make the call and to your dismay the person that you speak to informs you of the prices for their services.

They tell you that it will cost from several hundred dollars to as much as 15% of your total business. You have a little bit of money left from the loan that you obtained to get the business up and running, so you agree and set an appointment to meet later in the week. What is wrong with this scenario? Nothing if you have a lot of money to spend. The problem is that most small business owners have limited budgets to work with and expensive advertising campaigns are simply out of the question. So what is the alternative?

Business-to-Business networking affords the small business owner an opportunity to reach hundreds if not thousands of prospects for very little cost. In fact, the small business owner who finds it easy to talk to others can benefit in a big way from simply getting together with other business people and talking about their business.

Does this sound too good to be true? It is true. This phenomenon called Business Networking has spawned hundreds of networking organizations around the world. Each day, more and more business owners are finding clients and prospects at networking meetings or Chamber of Commerce meetings and spending very little needed cash to do so...

Discovery Of Fire

This discovery enabled man the means of preparing food for eating. Today we call it cooking. Early man used stones and wood for basic cooking. Today we tend to find elaborate use of the stove,not only for cooking, but also a tool that captivates the appetite of anyone anywhere.

Entrepreneurship - Personal Health And Successful Entrepreneurs

Entrepreneurship: We tend to take our health for granted. When people are in their youth, it’s common for them not to even think about health issues or to neglect proper nutrition, exercise and sleep. As they get older, this neglect may catch up to them, resulting in deteriorating health. Unfortunately by the time your health declines, it is often too late to recover. Poor health will rob you of energy, quality of life, and ultimately your business. As an entrepreneur, you can’t afford to neglect your health. From the start, you should be developing good healthy habits.

Just as you have developed a solid plan for your business, you need to have an effective plan for your well-being. You need to be proactive with your health. This means taking time away from work to exercise, eat healthy and get enough sleep.Developing good habits takes time and a conscious effort.

Start by writing down your goals on paper. What fitness level do you want to achieve? How are you going to exercise? What healthy foods are you going to eat?

What time do you want to get to bed and how long do you want to sleep? Don’t put too many goals on the sheet of paper, otherwise you’ll get frustrated or discouraged. Next implement your plan. I would choose one goal at a time, like exercise, for example. As a rule of thumb, it takes 21 days to develop a good habit. So, over the next 21 days, make a graduated effort to exercise. Start slow and set realistic goals. For the first few days, consider it a success just to get your gym clothes on. Gradually work up your exercise regimen from there...

Business Marketing Strategies - Small Enterprise Tips And Advice

Business Marketing strategies are methods for an organization to focus its energies and resources on a course of action which can lead to increased sales and dominance of a targeted market niche. Business marketing strategies combines product development, promotion, relationship management,distribution, pricing and other elements. It also identifies the firm's marketing goals, and explains how they will be achieved, ideally within a stated time frame.

In his classic best-seller,How To Win Friends And Influence People, Dale Carnegie's second chapter is entitled The Big Secret of Dealing With People. The secret is summed up in this principle: Give honest and sincere appreciation.

Carnegie said there is only one way to get anybody to do anything -- by making the person want to do it. How can you encourage customers to say good things about you and give you referrals? By giving them what they and all human beings crave: honest and sincere appreciation.

The Two Magic Words

The big secret of dealing with people (or customers) is often overlooked or forgotten. It's simply saying "thank you" consistently, personally and, above all, sincerely.

These two words work marketing magic because customers want to feel important. Saying "thank you" is an act of kindness. But don't say "thank you" for the sake of flattery. It must be sincere. As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, "You can never say anything but what you are."

"Thank You" Promotes Referrals

The uncertainty of referrals can be disconcerting. Can you control them? No. Can you influence them? Absolutely. First you must provide a valuable product or service for customers. (You're already doing this, right?) But perhaps you can make an even bigger difference in their minds by your continued interest after you've delivered the product or service.

Each customer has a different level of satisfaction with your products and services. However, all customers to whom you say "thank you" are satisfied that they're important to you.This can determine whether you'll continue a relationship with them and get referrals...

Health - Wellbeing Diet Fitness Diseases Nutrition

Health, in human beings, is the level of any persons continuing physical, emotional, mental, and social capacity to cope with his natural environment. Such a definition, just one of many, has it's disadvantages. The somewhat frail person who keeps "well" within the accustomed surroundings of his or her being, could possibly capitulate to a heart attack from shoveling heavy snow after a blizzard.

A person who normally lives at sea level,may perhaps relocate to a new family home in the mountains, where the environment has a lower content of oxygen.

He may consequently suffer from shortness of breath and possibly anemia until his red blood cell count adjusts itself to the altitude. So even by this definition, the understanding of good health must entail some concession for change in the environment. Bad health can be defined as the presence of disease, and good health as it's absence.

A person who has not had a disease for a continued period of time, but then had sudden attack of seasickness, may not be considered as losing his good health as a result of such a misfortune. The same might apply to an expectant mother, completely healthy in the afternoons and evenings, but afflicted from morning sickness a few hours each day. Physical condition and wellbeing are not synonymous terms.

A three hundred and twenty pound American pro football player, may be in a tremendous physical condition(although outside the range of normality for weight) but may or may not be in excellent health-depending for illustration, whether or not he has fallen victim to a bout of influenza.

There are additional problems in settling upon a definition of human health...

Self Help - Acquire Power Through Self Development

Self help: It is the natural right of every human being to be happy to break away from all the miseries of life.Happiness is the normal condition, as natural as the landscapes and the seasons. It is unnatural to suffer and it is only because of our ignorance that we do suffer.

Happiness is the product of wisdom.To attain perfect wisdom, to comprehend fully the purpose of life, to realize completely the relationship of human beings to each other, is to put an end to all suffering, to escape every ill and evil that afflicts us. Perfect wisdom is unshadowed joy.

Why do we suffer in life? Because in the scheme of nature we are being forced forward in evolution and we lack the spiritual illumination that alone can light the way and enable us to move safely among the obstacles that lie before us.

Usually we do not even see or suspect the presence of trouble until it suddenly leaps upon us like a concealed tiger. One day our family circle is complete and happy. A week later death has come and gone and joy is replaced with agony.

Today we have a friend. Tomorrow he will be an enemy and we do not know why. A little while ago we had wealth and all material luxuries.There was a sudden change and now we have only poverty and misery and yet we seek in vain for a reason why this should be. There was a time when we had health and strength; but they have both departed and no trace of a reason appears.Aside from these greater tragedies of life innumerable things of lesser consequence continually bring to us little miseries and minor heartaches.

We most earnestly desire to avoid them but we never see them until they strike us, until in the darkness of our ignorance we blunder upon them.The thing we lack is the spiritual illumination that will enable us to look far and wide, finding the hidden causes of human suffering and revealing the method by which they may be avoided; and if we can but reach illumination the evolutionary journey can be made both comfortably and swiftly.

It is as though we must pass through a long, dark room filled with furniture promiscuously scattered about.In the darkness our progress would be slow and painful and our bruises many.But if we could press a button that would turn on the electric light we could then make the same journey quickly and with perfect safety and comfort...

Trading places! Manchester United face their worst nightmare as Liverpool are taking over as top earners... and could rule for years!

If you thought it was bad being a Manchester United fan, with Liverpool on course for a first league title in 30 years, it's about to get worse.

Another unpalatable milestone is likely soon — Liverpool's income could overtake United's as early as this season, ending the latter's 27-year unbroken streak as English football's biggest earning club. In fact, all the signs are that Liverpool could dominate English football for the next decade… just like Sir Alex Ferguson's side did after they won their first title in 26 years in 1993.

For decades the dynasty built by Ferguson and David Gill seemed unassailable. Even given United's decline after the departure of Sir Alex in 2013, they had so much metaphorical credit in the bank in terms of brand value they only needed moderate performances to stay ahead of the pack.

But consistent mediocrity eventually pays a price. In terms of earnings, United have always been No 1. Not for much longer. If Liverpool don't overtake them this season, it is close to inevitable that it will happen in 2020-21 if United don't make the Champions League. It is hard to overstate the significance of this power shift, on and off the pitch, between England's two Goliath clubs. United have 20 top-flight titles and Liverpool are heading towards a 19th. Arsenal have 13 and no other club is in double figures or has any realistic prospect of getting there soon.

It's potentially a seismic moment, the equivalent of United outstripping Liverpool in the early 1990s. In the 1980s Liverpool had been the undisputed No 1 club in England and, before the Heysel disaster and subsequent ban, dominant in Europe, with their four European Cup wins between 1977 and 1984. Ferguson famously said his greatest challenge had been 'knocking Liverpool right off their f***ing perch.' On the pitch that began in 1993, when United won the first Premier League.

In financial terms, it was already happening by the late 1980s, when United began to outstrip Liverpool, largely because of a bigger capacity at Old Trafford in the days when gate money was king. But burgeoning merchandising — United were the first club to mass-market items beyond shirts — meant that by 1995 they had three times Liverpool's income.

The significance is clear. United's commercial success and Ferguson's genius led to 20 years of dominance. It seems unlikely any one manager will match that longevity. Yet the parallels for Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp are mounting. They have the platform to dominate financially. And they have a manager who may even match Ferguson in terms of charisma, leadership and eloquence. It's a potent mix, as United fans know.

Liverpool have laid the foundations to establish a dynasty akin to Ferguson's. If that wasn't bad enough for United, the club most likely to challenge Liverpool for supremacy is Manchester City. Where that leaves United is a moot point...

Home - Choosing A Place To Live

Home: Blessed indeed are they who are free to choose where and how they shall live. Still more blessed are they who give abundant thought to their choice, for they may not wear the sackcloth of discomfort nor scatter the ashes of burned money.

TASTE AND EXPEDIENCE Most of us have a theory of what the home should be, but it is stowed away with the wedding gifts of fine linen that are cherished for our permanent abode.

We believe in harmony of surroundings, but after living, within a period of ten years or so, in seven different apartments with seven different arrangements of rooms and seven different schemes of decoration, we lose interest in suiting one thing to another.

Harmony comes to mean simply good terms with the janitor. Or if (being beginners) we have some such prospect of nomadic living facing us, and we are at all knowing, we realize the utter helplessness of demonstrating our good taste, purchase any bits of furniture that a vagrant fancy may fasten upon.

We give space to whatever gimcracks our friends may foist upon us, trusting that in the whirligig of removals the plush rocker, the mission table, and the brass stand may each find itself in harmony with something else at one time or another. Some day we shall be freed from the tyranny of these conditions and then...

Job Interviews - Prepare Questions In Advance

Job Interviews: An interview almost invariably closes with the potential employer asking if you have any questions. Often an applicant will ask for clarification on benefits -insurance, vacation time, etc. While these are obviously important for you to know, they plant a seed in the interviewer's mind that maybe you are more interested in what the job can do for you than in how you can help the employer.

Try to have three or four questions ready to ask that demonstrate your interest in the company and your desire to be a problem-solver. If you have been able to do some research, trot out a question or two that came to mind. If you have been able to come up with some ideas that relate to the problem, throw them out to see how the employer reacts.

If you have been able to identify some trends or problems in the industry, ask how that is going to affect the company and what they are doing to deal with it. Show your concern about industry developments and what that may bode for the future.

If some current challenges have been brought up earlier in the interview, ask for clarification and more detail. The more the interviewer interacts with you as if your concerns are mutual, and that possible solutions are something you could consider together, the more you will be seen as a valuable future member of his team and the more likely you will be asked to join that team.

Toughest Interview Questions? Today's interview questions are becoming increasingly more difficult. I have compiled a list of questions that interviewers regard as the toughest to answer. There are no right or wrong answers to the questions, but be prepared to for them to be asked.

1. Talk about yourself? (Prepare for 2 minutes)

2. If you were a Leader of a country, which problem would you tackle first and why? 3. If you made a film about yourself, who would play your character?

4. Is a Tomato a Fruit or Vegetable?

5. Describe a Tennis Ball? Be prepared for Questions like these as this will prove you really want the job, have a creative thought process, be able to sell yourself and be confident is a stressful environment...

Love Quotes - I Love You

Love quotes: The famous three words we never hear enough of in our life.Throughout our life span we keep looking, waiting and hoping for something to take us, or lead us, to our true love.

Have you ever wondered where we can find love? What really is this word “Love” that we keep repeating to that someone special in our lives?

How many times do you tell your partner “I love you”? Do you really mean it, or do you just like to hear yourself speak? Or, is it just being said because it is part of the vocabulary that your partner likes to hear, or that helps make them feel secure about themselves.

So what’s love in the first place? What does love mean to you? Where can we find it? Before looking for answers, we need to establish things ourselves and understand the meaning of the word “LOVE”.

Love, in my point of view, is a flow of energy between two people that can bring awareness of their existence on this plane together, and this helps their relationship, and the harmony between them, to grow.

If love is a flow of energy, basically it is not costing you anything so why do we hold ourselves back from truly sharing that love with someone else. Vulnerability, security, or maybe fears prevent us, but how hard are we really trying to achieve “true love”?...

Content Marketing - Strategy And Tips

Content marketing can go by various names such as private media, branded content, customer media and so on, but they are all essentially content marketing.

This is probably one of the best ways to make sure your marketing is being truly effective.

When it comes to marketing your online business, content is a key part of getting your message across. Content is not just writing articles; but it is blogging, micro-blogging, reports, ebooks, newsletters, and more.

How you create and promote the content will make the difference between whether or not you accomplish your goal, whatever it may be.

One definition of content marketing is a technique of making and distributing valuable and relevant content to bring in a much defined target audience with the over all objective being the creation of sales and informing.

This is a way of reaching out to your customers and potential customers in a way specifically designed to attract them to you and keep them coming back.Content marketing is all done without overtly trying to sell a product.

It is intended to educate and inform the customers. With typical marketing, the goal is to make a sale and the product or service is the main point of the approach.

Content marketing is very different from this approach and has proven to be very effective. The idea around content marketing is to deliver consistent and useful information to the customer.

In return, they will reward the company with their business and, over time, their loyalty to the brand. This form of marketing creates a bond between the customer and the company.

This bond is a very hard one to break and results in ongoing business over time and a loyal customer. Traditional marketing is becoming less and less useful as customers are able to skip commercials or change the channel on the TV...

Small Biz - Differentiate Yourself And Attract More Sales

Differentiate and you stand out in a crowded marketplace. Present your uniqueness and emphasize your rare attributes in your sales copy and promotions and you'll capture the imagination and interest of those you want to reach.

In a world of copycats, it pays to be an original. It’s usually the creator of a new concept who gets the most mileage from it. Innovative entrepreneurs often become market leaders while competitors keep doing things the same old way – until change is forced upon them. Differentiate or die.

Challenging the way things have always been done can lead to creative new options that reward you with a windfall of profits. Differentiate your business and you attract attention. It’s new, different – even revolutionary – and it’s the kind of thing that generates excitement and creates a stir in the market.

After all, few new customers would be drawn to you -- if you were doing the exact same thing, the exact same way as everyone else.

Consider this question... “What Could You Do To Differentiate Yourself, Your Business, Or Your Product In A Way Prospects and Customers Would Appreciate?” Another thought to ponder is this... “What Traditions Could You Break That Would Capture Attention And Interest?”

Putting an effective new spin on your business should be done with the needs and desires or your customers and prospects in mind. Differentiate from their point of view. What changes can you implement that would make customers say “Wow!”?

Think in terms of what people want. Essentially, they want to be served better, faster and with more convenience. They want to be entertained. They want to solve problems with less effort. They want instant gratification...

Definition Of Viral Marketing - Social Media And Digital Marketing

It seems like lately, there has been so much written about Viral Marketing, and why you should be using it to drive traffic to your site. If you are not already using it, you need to start giving it some serious thought. So, what is viral marketing, and why should you give it a thought?

Is it possible that it just might be another craze that will soon wither away? Viral marketing involves getting other people to willingly spread your message for you. People who appreciate what you have done tell other people, and the message spreads from person to person like a virus. When that happens, it is referred to as your message totally “gone viral.”

It simply relies heavily on word of mouth advertising; someone sees or reads what you have to offer and tells a few of their friends. Their friends see or read your message and they tell a couple more of their friends, and so on , and so on. The number of people who are aware of you and your message multiplies exponentially.

The more folks hear about your site, the faster your traffic grows. How large will it grow? It is really difficult to tell. If a single person saw your message and told 2 people, who told 2 people, who told 2 people, and that continued, your message would very quickly be in front of tons of people. If each person just told two other people, it quickly multiplies.

Is Viral Traffic Generation something for my small business?

You will be wrong in thinking that viral marketing techniques are simply for the big players with large budgets, and that it can not work for small businesses with tiny budgets. If that is your line of thinking, you can relax. It might not be possible for you to churn out the highly polished ads like the big guys, but there are still a lot of opportunities for success.

Any small business or person with a message to get out or a service or product to promote can benefit from a well crafted viral marketing campaign. There are quite a few reasons why you must be using viral traffic generation techniques to build your business and pull customers to your website.

1.) It is a fast, effective way to drive traffic to your site...

Madrid - Spain Capital Facts And Things To Do

Madrid is relatively young when compared to the other great Spanish cities such as Seville and Valencia and so it lacks the traditions of the ancient Andalusian and Castilian towns. It lies on a vast open plateau and is subject to extremes of temperature, the daily variation is sometimes 22°C. The locals sum up their climate as nine months of winter and another 3 months of hell.

It is the nation's chief transportation and administrative center. Its commercial and industrial life developed very rapidly after the 1890s and today it is nation's chief transportation and administrative center, rivaled only by Barcelona. Besides it’s many manufacturing industries, Madrid are foremost as a banking, education, printing, publishing, tourism, and film production center.

The general aspect of Madrid is modern, with boulevards and fashionable shopping areas, but the old quarters have picturesque streets. In the heart of the city is the Plaza Mayor, a 17th century square, built in the style of Juan de Herrera. Madrid’s loveliest gardens can found at the Buen Retiro Park which opened in 1631. At the weekends street performers including musicians, tarot readers and puppet shows for children play in the park but this does bring in the crowds. Other landmarks include, El Pacicio Real, the huge and very opulent royal palace. A restored 1850 opera house and the imposing 19th-century building containing the national library, the national archives, and an archaeological museum. Also noteworthy is the modern University City, which transferred from the town of Alcalá de Henares in 1836...

Dr Martin Luther King Jr's legacy of change and his call for the end of racism and segregation in American society is without question the voice that has moved America as no other has done.

For while many have showed tremendous leadership, Dr. King clearly demonstrated a vision for the future of America in which black and white worked, lived, played and worshiped together as one society not two.

When you sit back and take in the phenomenal achievements of black history, it is natural to be moved to admiration by some of the great figures of black history including Booker T. Washington, George Washington Carver and many more.

But one name stands head and shoulders above the rest and that is the name Martin Luther King, Jr.

The honor and reverence all American’s have for Martin Luther King, Jr. is evident in how honored his name has become since his tragic death at the assassins hand in 1968.

All around this nation, virtually every U.S. city has named a major road after the great civil rights leader.He singularly has a U.S. holiday named after him, an honor usually reserved for presidents.

He has been honored on the U.S. stamp and no school child gets through his or her elementary education without knowing the key phrases from Dr. King’s famous “I have a dream” speech.Dr. King’s career in civil rights is inseparable from the early struggles of the civil rights movement from the late fifties going forward...

What Is Marketing - Guide To Promoting An Unfamiliar Business Effectively

What is marketing: So how do you effectively market your product or service when one knows anything about them because you're in a new and emerging industry?

How can you expect to get customers if no one understands what it is that you do?

If this happens to be your situation then a huge part of your marketing strategy will need to be educating consumers about what you do.

If yours is a field that is relatively new, or perhaps misunderstood, adopting an education strategy can help consumers understand the benefits you provide and feel more comfortable with the idea of purchasing your products or services.

Educational marketing is best done through vehicles where you have space or time to fully explain your product or service and the benefits it provides. Or perhaps even to set straight some common misconceptions.

Publishing a newsletter or Ezine, or writing a regular newspaper or magazine column are great ways to educate and generate positive awareness.

Make sure your web site content clearly explains what you do. Provide free Special Reports so prospects can learn more.

Conduct free seminars or teleseminars, or provide consultations so prospects can meet you and hear more about how your product or service can help them.

Your marketing goal should be to get as much educational information out to your prospects as possible...

Positive Affirmations - The Power Of Affirmations

Positive affirmations are spoken statements that are of a positive nature. In the popular sense of the term they are spoken commands made purposefully in order to change some aspect of our life.

In order to fully understand how affirmations work and the science behind their use we must first look at the way our minds work! When we are born our brains are like empty computers waiting to be fed information.

As we grow our peers act as our programmers, they supply us with the knowledge which we channel through the conscious mind into the subconscious (our hard drive).

The subconscious mind is the biggest hard drive ever developed - it stores everything we come in contact with and by no means is all of this information of a positive nature.

All that we have heard, touched, smelt, tasted and seen are stored in the recesses of our minds. The subconscious mind holds on to this information until we need to recall it.

For example when you were young your curiosity lead you to investigate your surroundings.

When you approached a substance that was dangerous,such as fire, your parents or guardians would most likely have rebuked or scolded you if you ventured too near the flame. Perhaps you may even recall an incident when you were physically burned.

Your subconscious mind then began to relate scolding (or pain) with the intense heat of the fire and would therefore feed the feelings of the scolding incident back to you whenever you got too close to fire again, thus acting as an early warning system...

Coaching can cover many different areas from sport to business and it is essential that you make yourself aware of coaching in general before you get involved in a particular area.

If you joined a sport in grade school you had a coach explain to you the rules and the best strategy to use to help win the game. In high school you had this same advantage, but once you reach the grown up world you may think you don't have this advantage any more.

Marketing - Recognizing Target Market

Marketing has many criteria such as competitive pricing, near perfect product, reaching out to correct audience and motivational advertising. Are you implementing these as a business. Achieving good sales is the ultimate target of any firm. First and foremost, all the efforts will go futile if the correct audience is not recognized. It is the major factor in getting abundant sales, because the right customers aren’t targeted, they won’t buy the product.

The right customers are known as targeted customers or niche market, those who will be happy to buy products that fulfill their needs and at the right price. Small businesses shouldn’t fear competition with large companies as they produce products considering a bigger spectrum, which sometimes might not be customer specific. Products are to a large degree tend to be more generalized regarding large companies. This gives an opportunity to the smaller firms to produce products, which can cater to the need of a section of people whose needs aren’t met specifically by the large companies.

Although it might seem like a silly question, a firm should understand, who are the people they want to target? The success lies behind understanding this, which requires thorough research and analysis. Various factors must be considered. The age group is the first factor, whether the product will be useful to babies or children or teenagers or youngsters or middle aged or old. Sometimes there is a possibility that the product will cater to the needs of all age groups.

Next thing to consider is gender. Marital status, occupation, ethnic background, health status, income status, education, hobbies, etc., are some of the factors that should also be pondered upon. Next should be the customer group to be targeted, the benefits that can be provided by the product to this group should be jotted down. A thorough examination of the service or product should be done for this purpose...

Home - Choosing A Place To Live

Home: Blessed indeed are they who are free to choose where and how they shall live. Still more blessed are they who give abundant thought to their choice, for they may not wear the sackcloth of discomfort nor scatter the ashes of burned money.

TASTE AND EXPEDIENCE Most of us have a theory of what the home should be, but it is stowed away with the wedding gifts of fine linen that are cherished for our permanent abode. We believe in harmony of surroundings, but after living, within a period of ten years or so, in seven different apartments with seven different arrangements of rooms and seven different schemes of decoration, we lose interest in suiting one thing to another. Harmony comes to mean simply good terms with the janitor.

Or if (being beginners) we have some such prospect of nomadic living facing us, and we are at all knowing, we realize the utter helplessness of demonstrating our good taste, purchase any bits of furniture that a vagrant fancy may fasten upon. We give space to whatever gimcracks our friends may foist upon us, trusting that in the whirligig of removals the plush rocker, the mission table, and the brass stand may each find itself in harmony with something else at one time or another. Some day we shall be freed from the tyranny of these conditions and then--!

RESPONSIBILITIES But when the time comes to declare our independence of landlord and apartment management, or at least to exchange existence in a flat for life in a rented cottage, we find that freedom brings some perplexing responsibilities as well as its blessings. Even if our hopes do not soar higher than the rented house, there is at least the desire for a reasonable permanency, and we have no longer the excuse of custom-bred transitoriness to plead for our lack of plan. Where the home is to be purchased for our very own the test of our individuality becomes more exacting.

A house has character, and some of the standards that apply to companionship apply to it. In fact, we live with it, as well as in it. And if we have a saving conscience as to the immeasurability of home by money standards we are not to be tempted by the veriest bargain of a house that does not nearly represent our ideals. To blunder here is to topple over our whole Castle of Hope...

Caribbean Vacation - Caribbean Vacations And Package Deals

Summer for Americans has always been the time to go out on holidays and enjoy the beach and the Sun. The Caribbean Islands with their lovely beaches, blue waters and the most pleasant sun perfectly fits the bill. In fact the Caribbean has been such a huge hit with American tourists that today the tourism industry is one of the biggest industries. There are numerous islands in the Caribbean, but some have been all-time favorites with the tourists. The biggest destinations are the islands of Anguilla, Aruba, Bahamas, Curacao and the British Virgin Islands to name a few. A visit to any of these islands will leave you with happy memories.

Situated largely on the Caribbean Plate, the region has more than 700 islands, islets, reefs and cays. Island arcs delineate the eastern and northern edges of the Caribbean Sea, The Greater Antilles and the Lucayan Archipelago on the north and the Lesser Antilles and the on the south and east (which includes the Leeward Antilles). The Lucayan Archipelago (the Bahamas and Turks and Caicos Islands), do not border the Caribbean Sea, but are still within the boundaries of the Caribbean region. On the mainland, Belize, Nicaragua, the Caribbean region of Colombia, Cozumel, the Yucatán Peninsula, Margarita Island, and the Guyanas (Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, Guayana Region in Venezuela, and Amapá in Brazil) are often included due to their political and cultural ties with the region.

Bahamas Bahamas has always been a very popular destination for the American tourists because of its proximity to the country. Still having a feel of the British colonial days in its buildings and architecture, the Bahamas is also very tropical in spirit. Known for its beautiful beaches pine forests, Bahamas is the perfect place to sit back and relax. If you are in the Bahamas you should never miss the Rand Nature Center where you get to see the exact recreation of a Lucayan Village, which has everything, from the chieftain’s house to the dwelling huts. And if you are a food lover you got to taste the local snacks from a Bahamian straw market.

The Atlantis Resort is located on Paradise Island, near Nassau in the formerly-British Bahamas just a hop from Florida. The guidebook “Caribbean With Kids” calls the Atlantis on Bahamas “one of the most lavish properties in the entire Caribbean”: which is saying something, considering what the region offers. The Atlantis Bahamas grounds have waterfalls, streams, lagoons filled with sea creatures, underwater viewing areas: with 11 exhibit lagoons and 11 million gallons of water, the resort claims it has the “largest marine habitat in the world”. The world’s largest marine habitat, the largest casino in the Bahamas (and the Caribbean), a 15 million dollar marina, lagoons, waterfalls and the underwater ruins of Atlantis itself....Atlantis Bahamas Resort has achieved...

Jeff Bezos’s Master Plan - What the Amazon founder and CEO wants for his empire and himself, and what that means for the rest of us.

where in the pantheon of American commercial titans does Jeffrey Bezos belong? Andrew Carnegie’s hearths forged the steel that became the skeleton of the railroad and the city. John D. Rockefeller refined 90 percent of American oil, which supplied the pre-electric nation with light. Bill Gates created a program that was considered a prerequisite for turning on a computer.

At 55, Bezos has never dominated a major market as thoroughly as any of these forebears, and while he is presently the richest man on the planet, he has less wealth than Gates did at his zenith. Yet Rockefeller largely contented himself with oil wells, pump stations, and railcars; Gates’s fortune depended on an operating system. The scope of the empire the founder and CEO of Amazon has built is wider. Indeed, it is without precedent in the long history of American capitalism.

Today, Bezos controls nearly 40 percent of all e-commerce in the United States. More product searches are conducted on Amazon than on Google, which has allowed Bezos to build an advertising business as valuable as the entirety of IBM. One estimate has Amazon Web Services controlling almost half of the cloud-computing industry—institutions as varied as General Electric, Unilever, and even the CIA rely on its servers. Forty-two percent of paper book sales and a third of the market for streaming video are controlled by the company; Twitch, its video platform popular among gamers, attracts 15 million users a day. Add The Washington Post to this portfolio and Bezos is, at a minimum, a rival to the likes of Disney’s Bob Iger or the suits at AT&T, and arguably the most powerful man in American culture.

I first grew concerned about Amazon’s power five years ago. I felt anxious about how the company bullied the book business, extracting ever more favorable terms from the publishers that had come to depend on it. When the conglomerate Hachette, with which I’d once published a book, refused to accede to Amazon’s demands, it was punished. Amazon delayed shipments of Hachette books; when consumers searched for some Hachette titles, it redirected them to similar books from other publishers. In 2014, I wrote a cover story for The New Republic with a pugilistic title: “Amazon Must Be Stopped.” Citing my article, the company subsequently terminated an advertising campaign for its political comedy, Alpha House, that had been running in the magazine.

Since that time, Bezos’s reach has only grown. To the U.S. president, he is a nemesis. To many Americans, he is a beneficent wizard of convenience and abundance. Over the course of just this past year, Amazon has announced the following endeavors: It will match potential home buyers with real-estate agents and integrate their new homes with Amazon devices; it will enable its voice assistant, Alexa, to access health-care data, such as the status of a prescription or a blood-sugar reading; it will build a 3-million-square-foot cargo airport outside Cincinnati; it will make next-day delivery...

New Guards Group Co-Founder Reveals How He and Virgil Abloh Built Off-White

New Guards Group, a luxury fashion holding company based out of Milan, is home to many of the industry's leading streetwear brands. In addition to their investments in acclaimed labels Palm Angels and Heron Preston, the Italian company also helped launch Virgil Abloh's illustrious Off-White trademark. In a recent interview with Business of Fashion, Davide De Giglio, one of New Guards' co-founders, opened up about how he turned his entrepreneurial vision into a million-dollar reality.

De Giglio knew he wanted to build a fashion company when he first traveled to New York over two decades ago. "I moved to New York to start a business with $700 in my pocket," the co-founder recalls. "The word 'vintage' was everywhere, and I started buying used T-shirts and denim, then going back to Italy with a few bags and selling them to my friends."

In 2018, the holding company recorded €235 million in revenue, which is projected to nearly double this year at €420 million. The impressive array of talent New Guards has partnered with undoubtedly contributed to that growth, and Off-White's flourishing influence is leading the way.

While describing New Group's trajectory, Davide remembers connecting with Abloh for the first time during a meeting with Kanye West. "So, I had a few appointments with Kanye, who’s a genius. But I also realized there was this guy Virgil next to him; always calm and very sweet," De Giglio recalls.

Marcelo Burton, whose streetwear brand was launched by New Group, knew Virgil and connected him with De Giglio upon request. "Marcelo was close to Virgil and I said, 'Why don’t you ask Virgil if we can do something together, because I think he has a vision.'"

Upon their first official meeting, De Giglio describes the beginnings of the company's partnership with Abloh. "At the time, he was printing Ralph Lauren shirts with 'Pyrex' and then the numbers '23' and '13' on the back. I said, 'If you want to elevate your message and you don’t want to just be another streetwear brand, we need to choose the best cotton, the best print technique, the best Italian factories.'"...

Art Tips - Art Prints And Finding The Best Value

Art Tips: You’re not in college anymore, and it’s time to take down the posters and replace them with original art. But, you don’t have the money yet for oils or water colors. Art prints are an affordable alternative, yet they too can be pricey. How can you tell if that art print that’s caught your eye is more than just another pretty face? Art prints are works of art in and of themselves, and may be handmade by artist-printmakers (artists’ prints), digitally printed (giclée), or photomechanical reproductions (offset lithographs).

Artists’ prints are handmade and are not reproductions of paintings: the print is a unique work of art. The term covers a range of printmaking techniques such as etching, woodcut, engraving, screenprint and linocut. Editions tend to be less than 200, partly because the materials used to make the prints wear out. This type of print is sometimes called an “original print.” Limited edition reproductions are multiples copies of the same image, but produced in guaranteed limited numbers. This makes the image more exclusive. The market price can rise over time, if demand outstrips supply.

Edition sizes vary but are limited by market forces, not by the physical constraints of the printmaking method. Most limited editions are signed and numbered in pencil by the artist with a commitment that no other reproduction of the image will be made. An open-edition reproduction print can be produced in any quantity and the image may also be used in other ways, such as on tableware. Open editions tend to cost less than limited editions and are much less likely to increase in value.

Giclée prints are made using digital printing technology, usually inkjet. The technology enables users to produce small runs of prints. It also allows retailers to offer ‘print on demand’ services, where buyers select an image and it is printed out there and then. Several factors influence the price of art prints:

Artist and Rarity Certainly the name of the artist is a major contributor to value. But the art prints of even the same artist may have widely ranging prices. This added value is due to rarity. The more valuable print may be part of a limited edition run of only a few copies, while the more affordable from a larger open-edition run. But they are both original pieces of art by the same artist. It’s a good idea to be well acquainted with the works of a particular artist and his or her peers as well. Research into an artist’s place in the art world will help you ensure you’re getting a good value...

Sex - Sacred Sex

Sex is what brought us here. Without sex, you and I won't be here. There is nothing cheap or dirty about sex. It is the attitude towards sex that makes it degrading,sinful , dirty or beautiful and precious. It fulfills the function of procreation, it could also be a means to commit the most heinous crime. It is important not only to be aware of our sexuality, we need to acknowledge its importance as a factor for a balanced life. It is the fire that keeps the flames of romance aglow, the strong fiber that keeps a relationship together against all odds, it is refreshing, it is healing. Respect for sex add meaning to our human existence and relationships. We treat with reverence those things we hold dear to our hearts. Activities that we enjoy leaves us with that sense of accomplishment, of satisfaction, and makes us feel good. Music is considered the language of the soul.

Who does not enjoy music? It is one of the great pleasures mankind has discovered. There are as many tunes ,songs and music as there are performers ,composers and song writers. Sex is an integral part of human existence. The expression of sex has many faces, strikes many chords, creates a variety of tempo, of harmony or dis-harmony. Who does not admire beautiful and awesome surroundings; seek and welcome serenity and tranquility, away from the frenzy of the world. Yes, expression and wholesome atmosphere create and inspire the moment for the ultimate experience of Sacred Sex. We do not subscribe to the same type of music, but generally, there must be something in the music that stirs the soul; a melody that promotes a certain mood, a tune that softens or excites the psyche.

Listening to music is soothing, it is inspiring, it quietens a cluttered mind. There is no human activity that can compare to sex that can elevate the soul, the human spirit to ecstasy, out of the physical realm into a world only the two physical bodies can experience. No, it is not the "quickie", not the one in the backseat, or any isolated dim spot that is available at the moment. If you've been to a concert, a recital , attended a symphony, you do not just "run"into these events.

Sex is like attending one of these events- to fully enjoy it, you set aside the time , the resources needed , you plan the when and the how will naturally follow. It is not an event you attend to everyday. It is a special occasion that you look forward to with anticipation. Of course, spontaneity adds pizzazz. Why not a sacred time for sacred sex? Anyone who is interested to learn more about the "How to", the resources are limitless- read up on Tantric Sex, get a copy of the Kama Sutra...

Avila Spain - Spanish Fortified City In Castile And León

Avila is sometimes called the Town of Stones and Saints, and lays claim that it is one of the towns with the highest number of Romanesque and Gothic churches per capita in Spain. It boasts prominent and complete medieval town walls, built in the Romanesque style.

Avila, Spain Madrid has so much going on it is often hard to drag yourself away from it. If indeed, you eventually need a break from Madrid, a day trip to Avila, is definitely worth it. In fact, a visit to Avila is a must if you visit Spain. The town is so popular, there are over 20 trains a day from Madrid. Avila is in the south of Old Castile, part of the Castile and Leon autonomous district. The city was originally known for Teresa of Avila, a Roman Catholic mystic. The cathedral in the city is also considered a masterpiece, and while this in no doubt will be fascinating to you, the real attraction of Avila is the defensive fortification.

Do you find castles intriguing? You are going to love Avila. The town is home to the second largest defensive walls in the world. Known as Las Murallas, the walls were built in the eleventh century. They are a couple miles long and average 40 feet in height. The walls are partitioned by over 80 towers that reach as high as 65 feet, the equivalent of a six-story building. There are nine gates allowing you to enter and exit the town. All in all, the Avila Walls are a site to be seen. The work was started in 1090 but most of the defensive wall appears to have been rebuilt in the 12th century.

If the event is getting bigger and bigger and you've seem to lost control over things, you need to get backup. It's hard to plan an event, especially if it is a very important one. You have to plan where you are going to have the event, the theme, the decorations, the food, the caters, the supplies, and the budget.

You need to make sure that you stay within a budget, but get everything done. This is when you need an assistant.

If you don't have an assistant you will have an emotional breakdown and it could ruin the event. Depending on your personality, the breakdown can be crucial. This is why you need an assistant.

Don't get overwhelmed with things. When it comes to using an assistant you can leave them the minor things like fetching, fixing, decorating, and all the small details that you should never worry about.

The second snag that you need to avoid is the bar and food. If you are going to have a catered dinner or event, you need to make sure that you have a written contract upon hiring. The contract needs to state the money, the food, and basically what you expect for the amount of money that you are paying. You will even need to indicate the times when they need to show up in the contract or you may end up with irresponsible caters...

WeWork’s Adam Neumann Is the Most Talented Grifter of Our Time

This is how the WeWork story ends—for now. The high-flying office-sharing startup, which introduced itself to the world as “a community company” with a mission to “to elevate the world’s consciousness,” is paying its founder, Adam Neumann, more than $1 billion to go away. Meanwhile, the company is so cash-poor that it cannot afford to pay the severances of the 4,000 workers it intends to cut.

WeWork’s free fall from a projected valuation of nearly $50 billion to just $5 billion will likely be taught in business school, immortalized in best-selling books, and debated among analysts for years. But one thing’s for sure: It has established Adam Neumann, who escaped from the wreckage a billionaire, as a figure of almost mythical monstrousness—like some capitalist chimera of Midas and Houdini.

Neumann spent several years of his childhood living on Kibbutz Nir Am, a communitarian settlement near the Gaza Strip. And he has spent much of the rest of his life telling people about it. Just about every profile of Neumann mentions his childhood on the kibbutz—including write-ups in Vanity Fair, Fast Company, Business Insider, and The New York Times. He told Haaretz that his kibbutz upbringing molded his vision of WeWork. He has compared the office-sharing company, with its common areas and communal beer, to a “Kibbutz 2.0” and “a capitalist kibbutz.”

Neumann proposed that office space could play the kibbutz’s role of fostering community, empathy, and serendipitous creation. “If you understand that being part of something greater than yourself is meaningful,” he said, “and if you’re not driven just by material goods, then you’re part of the We Generation.”

Rather than treat WeWork like a community farm, however, Neumann used the company like a personal ATM.

The most egregious example might be from earlier this year. In January, WeWork announced that it would change its name to the We Company to reflect the fact that its ambitions had grown from office-sharing to every facet of the collective human experience. Under this new umbrella company, the firm would revolutionize living space (WeLive), school (WeGrow), and retail (WeMRKT).

But the name We Company had already been trademarked—by Neumann. And Neumann insisted that his company pay him $6 million for the privilege of using it.

Even though Neumann was eventually goaded into giving back the fee, this gambit was ludicrous, audacious—and telling. Corporate renaming falls squarely in the job description of the founder and chief executive. Neumann easily could have taken no payment at all; instead he tried to extract a $6 million bonus for less than a day’s work.

It is not unusual for founders of billion-dollar enterprises to get rich. What’s deeply unusual, however, is the way Neumann wrapped himself around WeWork’s business to squeeze profit from its every pore, even as he proclaimed his firm’s spirit of generosity...

Advertising Techniques - Social Media Marketing And The Digital

Advertising Techniques: The media is a powerful thing -- on average, a person spends a huge amount of their life consuming it in one shape or form , and will exhaust a significant percentage of that time looking at, listening to or watching advertisements. If you intend to use the power of the media, though, you need to simply know what you're doing.

Advertising in Newspapers and Magazines.

There are two kinds of advertising you can get in newspapers and magazines: classified and display. Classifieds are the small ads towards the back of the publication, while display ads can be almost any size, from a small corner of a page to a massive double-page spread. If there's a particular publication you're interested in advertising in, either go to its website (the rate card section) or call its advertising department to find out the rates it charges. Be prepared to be shocked.

Advertising Techniques Yes, advertising in the print media really is that expensive, and for most home businesses it probably just won't be that economical. However, there is an exception: niche and trade magazines. It is quite incredible just how many magazines there are out there, filling every conceivable gap in the market.

You need to find the magazine that people who are interested in your services might read. For example, if you're a wedding photographer, look for a magazines pertaining to ' Wedding', 'Bride', or something similar. Advertising in these magazines will be cost efficient than placing an ad in a general-audience publication, and far more likely to actually get some responses.

Advertising on the Radio Chances are, there might be a local radio station where you are. As soon as your home business grows to a decent size, you might consider buying some time on it. Really, though, the only kind of home business that can benefit sufficient from radio ads to justify the cost is one that does anything to do with cars. Since radio is almost entirely limited to use as in-car entertainment now, you know that almost everyone your ad reaches will be a car-owner, and so might be interested in what you're offering.

If you offer something that people need cheaply or even for free, you can get a big response. Unfortunately, that response could be a little too big -- thanks to the time-sensitivity of radio, you might get mobbed the next day, and then everyone will forget you again. Radio advertising offers the listener no opportunity to keep your ad and refer to it later, or to find it again in the future.

You will find that any ads involving a phone number are spectacularly useless...

10 Key Vegetables And Their Nutritional Value

Scientists and nutritionists continue to argue over what constitutes a vegetable. Strictly speaking, a vegetable is any part of a herbaceous plant eaten by humans as food.

So, in this sense, lettuce leaves are vegetables, asparagus is a vegetable, carrots are a vegetable, as are garlic, peas and beans, squash, peppers and tomatoes.

Tomatoes, however are also consider fruits under the botanical definition and under the legal definition.

For the purposes of this discussion, botanical and culinary fruits such as green peppers or pumpkins and nuts, herbs, seeds, and grains and fungi such as mushrooms will be ignored to focus on culinary vegetables.

BroccoliBroccoli is high in dietary fiber and is missing only vitamin B and vitamin D to have a full range of vitamins. Broccoli has no saturated fat and only some sodium. Cholesterol in broccoli is non existent.

Broccoli is one of those foods that is good to choose when trying to lose weight. It even is a good source of protein, which surprises many people. This is helpful to know when one is combining vegetables to form a complete protein source.

SpinachCooked spinach is one of the highest ranking vegetables in providing complete nutrition. It is high in dietary fiber and gets top marks for every other nutrient identified in the diet with the exception of vitamin D and vitamin B12. It is low in saturated fat and fairly low in cholesterol. The most outstanding negative feature in consuming spinach is that is contains a significant amount of sodium...

Business - Crisis Management Strategies And Risk Management

The Net has opened worlds for businesses and consumers, but it has also created a public relations nightmare for businesses. Forums, opinion Web sites, blogs, and anything that is publishable can smear a company's name in moments.

Crisis management is the procedure by which an organization deals with unexpected and disruptive events that puts in jeopardy the organization or its stakeholders.

The evaluation of crisis management evolved with the large-volumes of industrial and environmental disasters in the 1980s. It is considered to be the most crucial process in public relations

Three factors are common to a crisis:

(a) a threat to the organization,(b) the element of surprise, and(c) a short decision time.Venette argues that "crisis is a process of transformation where the old system can no longer be maintained". Therefore, the fourth defining quality is the need for change. If change is not required, the event could more accurately be described as a failure or incident.

Remember, "Yours Is a Very Bad Hotel" presentation that described one customer's bad experience with a hotel chain? Hotels are run by humans.Humans make mistakes. It's how you handle the mistakes that can make the difference in customer service.

Since the hotel's employees didn't try to help the customer overcome a bad situation, the customer lashed back and bloggers blogged it. If the hotel is on top of its game, it would unleash its crisis management (also known as reputation management) team to salvage its reputation while it can...

Public Relations - Should Your PR Budget Stress Tactics Or Strategy?

If public relations tactics like special events,brochures, broadcast plugs and press releases dominate your answer, you’re missing the best PR has to offer.

Such a budget would tell us that you believe tactics ARE public relations.

And that would be too bad, because it means you are not effectively planning to alter individual perception among your key outside audiences which then would help you achieve your managerial objectives.

It would also tell us that, even as a business, non-profit or association manager, you’re not planning to do anything positive about the behaviours of those important external audiences of yours that MOST affect your operation.

Nor are you preparing to persuade those key outside folks to your way of thinking by helping to move them to take actions that allow your department, division or subsidiary to succeed. So, it takes more than good intentions for you as a manager to alter individual, key-audience perception leading to changed behaviors.

It takes a carefully structured plan dedicated to getting every member of the PR team working towards the same external audience behaviours insuring that the organization’s public relations effort stays sharply focused.

The absence of such a plan is always unfortunate because the right public relations planning really CAN alter individual perception and lead to changed behaviors among key outside audiences...

Branding - The Benefits And Advantages Of Brand Advocacy

Branding is the process of creating distinctive and durable perceptions in the minds of consumers. A brand is a persistent, unique business identity intertwined with associations of personality, quality, origin, liking and more. Here’s why the effort to brand your company or yourself pays off.

1. Memorability

A brand serves as a convenient container for a reputation and good will. It's hard for customers to go back to "that whatsitsname store" or to refer business to "the plumber from the Yellow Pages."

In addition to an effective company name, it helps when people have material reminders reinforcing the identity of companies they will want to do repeat business with: refrigerator magnets, tote bags, datebooks, coasters, key rings, first aid kits, etc.

Memorability can come from using and sticking with an unusual color combination (FedEx's purple and orange), distinctive behavior (the gas station whose attendants literally run to clean your windshield), or with an individual, even a style of clothing (Author Tom Wolfe's white suits).

Develop your own identifiers and nail them to your company name in the minds of your public.

2. Loyalty

When people have a positive experience with a memorable brand, they're more likely to buy that product or service again than competing brands.

People who closely bond with a brand identity are not only more likely to repurchase what they bought, but also to buy related items of the same brand, to recommend the brand to others and to resist the lure of a competitor's price cut. The brand identity helps to create and to anchor such loyalty...

Business - Forms Of Organizations

There are numerous kinds of organizations that can be separated into two major divisions: organizations existing to create profits (profit organizations. Includes business entities) and organizations that exist primarily for another purpose (non-profit organizations. E.g: charity organizations).

3 Types of Business Entities and their common characteristics:

1. Sole Proprietorships.

Sole proprietorships are business that are owned and operated by one person: the sole proprietor. The owner and the business, is then the same. For tax purposes, a sole proprietorship is not a taxable entity, and any profits earned by the business are taxed on the return of the individual.The proprietor must develop an accounting system that distinguishes between his/her personal affairs and that of the business.

2. Partnerships.

Partnerships are businesses that are owned by two or more individuals. For small partnerships, the agreement is often an oral agreement between the partners but it is highly recommended that the agreement be formalized as is done in bigger partnerships like public accounting firms and most law firms.In partnering up with individuals, it is important to outline the division of profits and expenses, as well as the expected responsibilities of the partners in a written agreement...
