Strengths / Features:

• The GBC Accucut A500pro is a heavy duty industrial quality rotary paper trimmer. It includes a sturdy metal cutting base and has a heavy duty metal rail for the blade to travel along. The metal construction of this unit helps to ensure that it is prepared for precision cutting and trimming.
• The A500pro has a manual clamping system that helps to hold the paper in place during cutting or trimming. GBC's smaller and less expensive rotary trimmers do not have a clamping feature. The clamp on the A500pro allows it to cut more sheets of paper and to offer more precise cutting than is available on either the 300 or 400 series of Accucut trimmers.
• The A500pro has a transparent cutting guide that allows you to see the path where the blade will travel, this makes it easy to align your documents for cutting. It also has alignment lines and a ruler printed on the cutting table to help ensure precision cutting every time.
• The A500pro uses a heavy duty balde housing that slides along the stationary metal rail of the machine. When the clamp is engaged, the rail becomes locked in place and the blade housing can be engaged by pressing down and moving the blade along the rail.

Weaknesses / Limitations:

• The GBC Smartcut A500pro cutter offers a 12 inch cutting length and a fourteen inch wide cutting table. This is adequate for trimming most smaller documents. However, if you need to trim larger format documents it will most likely be helpful to have a longer cutting length and a wider cutting table.
• Unlike the A300 and A400 series of cutters, the A500pro does not have blades for scoring, perforating or wave cutting. The A500pro is strictly a heavy duty professional trimmer that uses Nike Blazer SB,high quality round cutting blades. If you need these other features, you will need to find another unit.
• The A500pro requires the use of a special heavy duty cutting mat. The machine comes with one cutting mat but in the process the cutting mat will become worn and the cutter will become less effective. It is important to change the cutting mat on a regular basis in order to ensure that the cut quality is maintained.

The GBC Accucut A530pro is the largest

• The GBC Accucut A530pro is the largest trimmer in the GBC Smartcut 500 series of professional rotary paper trimmers.

• In addition to the extra long cutting length offered by the A530pro it also offers a large heavy duty metal cutting table. The cutting table is marked with both imperial and metric measurements and also has an alignment grid printed on the cutting table. The alignment grid is designed to help in ensuring that materials are straight square before cutting.

• The A530 also includes a transparent cutting guide that helps to show you the exact path that the blade will travel.
• The A530pro is made almost entirely of metal and not plastic. This helps to ensure that the A530 will stay square Nike Cortez,and true over time. It also helps to ensure that the A530 will hold up in commercial settings where high volume trimming may be required.

Weaknesses / Limitations:

• The A530pro has a 24 inch long cutting path but only a 14 inch wide cutting base. This can make trimming wide materials difficult since the alignment grid and measurements on the cutting base become useless for items with more than fourteen inches to the left of the blade.
• The Smartcut A530pro is designed for trimming paper and laminated documents. Other trimmers have optional blades for scoring, wave cutting or perforating. The A530pro does not offer any of these features. It is strictly a trimmer.
• The A530pro requires the use of a cutting mat to ensure high quality cuts. This cutting mat will become worn over time and needs to periodically be replaced. It is always a good idea to have an extra cutting mat on hand in order to ensure the highest quality cuts.

The SmartCut A200 is a personal paper

• The SmartCut A200 is a personal paper trimmer that allows users to cut paper, add a decorative edge to their documents and score documents for easy folding.
• This small rotary trimmer is designed specifically for use in creating craft projects, scrapbooks , photos, labels, Nike Blazer High,greeting cards and other personal short run documents.
• Known as either the GBC Accucut A200 or the SmartCut A200, this review will take a look at the features, strengths, weaknesses and limitations of the A200 dial-a-blade trimmer.

Features / Strengths:

• The Smartcut A200 paper trimmer has a convenient and simple to use Dial-A-Blade mechanism. This allows users to simply turn the dial on the machine and choose one of three different cutting blades. Out of the box, the A200 comes with a wave, straight cut and score blade mechanism. However, an optional dial-a-blade mechanism is available that includes a perforator, straight cut and score blade (part number 1312PB).
• The Accucut A200 is designed for trimming documents up to 12" long and thus can be used with scrapbook papers and standard 8.5" x 11" sheets. It is rated to cut up to 5 sheets of paper at a time. However, it really does best when cutting just a few sheets of paper and is only designed to score or perforate on sheet of paper at time.
• The A200 has a nice transparent ruler that sets on top of the paper as you are cutting it. This ruler along with helpful grid lines on the cutting base of the unit are extremely helpful for Nike Blazer Shoes,getting your paper aligned on the cutter so that you can get straight clean cuts.

Weaknesses / Limitations:

• The A200 is made entirely of plastic (with the exception of the metal cutting blades) and is really meant as a personal cutting device. The cutter is great for occasional use but the plastic parts will most likely break if it were used heavily.
• The blades for the A200 Smartcut paper cutter come as a single unit. This means that you need to replace the entire unit if you wear out any one of the three cutting blades. This is something that is important to remember since the dial-a-blade cutting units can be a little bit pricey as compared to the original cost of the cutter.
• The cutting base of the A200 rotary trimmer is small. Although the blade travels along an 12" path the cutter base is only about 6" wide. This makes aligning larger sheets of paper much more difficult than it would be on a cutter with a wider cutting base since you can't align the back edge of the paper with the grid lines provided on the cutter.

The AP2 ultra does have some limitations

• The AP2 ultra does have some limitations on the type of sheets that it can punch. Although its ability to run heavy and glossy stocks has been improved it will still have difficulty feeding laminated or coated sheets. Additionally, it is not recommended to run clear covers or Nike Shox Rival,plastic covers through this machine. Plastic covers will stick together and have the potential to cause problems with the punching mechanism. If you were to try and run poly covers through the AP2-Ultra you would want to make sure that they are collated into your documents. Most print shops will need a desktop punching unit in addition to this machine so that they can handle small runs, odd sizes and sheets that will not Nike Cortez Shoes,run through this machine.
• There are a huge variety of die sets available for the AP2 Ultra. You can use this machine to punch holes for spiral coil binding, comb binding, twin loop wire, Velobind, Proclick and 3-Ring binders. However, the die sets can be a little bit tricky to change and the changeover can take a few minutes. This makes the AP2 Ultra a great solution for longer runs or short runs with the same punching pattern. However, if you have to constantly change the die on this machine for short run punching it is quite possible you will spend more time on the die changes than you will actually punching your documents.
• This machine is somewhat limited in the size of sheets that it can punch. The smallest sheet size that it can handle is 5.5" x 5.5" and the largest that it can handle is 12" x 13". This means that the AP2 cannot be used to punch documents for legal sized binding. A standard desktop binding machine will have to be used for this application.
• There are a lot of moving parts inside the AP2-Ultra. Although this is a reliable machine it is advisable to look into putting this type of equipment under a maintenance contract. That way you know that you are covered if something were to happen to the machine. This is especially true for organizations that use their automatic punch on a daily basis and can't afford to be down for extended periods of time.

Recommendation:

• If your organization has the volume to warrant the cost, the AP2 Ultra is an excellent automatic binding punch.
• This system is capable of punching a huge amount of paper per hour and can free up labor inside of your organization to focus on other highly profitable tasks.
• However, there are some paper types and document sizes that are not compatible with this machine. Most print shops, binderies and in-plant printers use this type of machine for their volume Nike Shox TL3,punching applications and still use a desktop interchangeable die punch for short runs, clear covers and laminated sheets.

The AP2 Ultra is a high quality heavy duty

• The AP2 Ultra is a high quality heavy duty automatic binding punch that is designed for the highest volume punching environments.
• This machine is designed for users who do a lot of punching and want the ability to set a stack of paper on their MBT Tembea,machine and walk away.
• The AP2 is designed to be fast, versatile and easy to use. It is a popular choice for larger print shops, binderies, in-plant printers and copy shops.
• Although this machine comes with a fairly hefty price tag, most organizations that do a high volume of punching find that they are able to recoup their investment in less than two years.

Strengths / Features:

• The AP2 Ultra is an incredibly fast punch. It is capable of punching up to 56,000 sheets of paper an hour and averages 40,000 sheets per hour for most applications. This means that the AP2 can punch as many as 80 reams of paper in one hour of operation. This means that even large punching jobs that would normally take hours on a desktop punch can be completed in minutes with the AP2.
• This punch is also really easy to use. All you need to do is load a large stack of paper into the top of the machine, press the button and a few minutes later the stack will be punched. The machine does it all and the operator is able to work on other tasks while the AP2 is punching. There is an LCD display panel on the front of the machine that tells you the status of the machine and there are a few different adjustments. However, this machine isn't really complicated.
• Another strength of the AP2ultra is MBT Tataga,its relatively small footprint. It is no secret that most print shops and production environments are short on floor space. The AP2 measures 25" x 53" x 34" which is significantly smaller than most other automatic punching solutions. Plus, it is mounted on wheels with castors to allow it to easily be pushed out of the way when it is not in use.
• The AP2 Ultra is an upgraded version of the old AP2. This version has been retrofitted with new components and feed mechanisms for handling heavier stocks and glossy papers. This is still not the ideal solution for extremely hard to run sheets. However, the new design MBT Sini,allows it to run most common uncoated paper stocks that are part of a normal print environment.

The GBC Shredmaster SC032 strip cut paper

• The GBC Shredmaster SC032 strip cut paper shredder is a small personal use shredding machine designed to sit beside or underneath your desk.
• The SC32 includes a small personal strip cut shredding machine and a four gallon wastebasket that is specifically designed for use with the SC032.
• This small paper shredder is small MBT Sport 2,enough that it can sit in your office so that shredding is always within reach making it convenient to destroy sensitive information rather than simply throwing it in the trash.

Strengths / Features:

• The GBC SC-032 is actually very small. It comes with a small four gallon basket that will conveniently fit almost anywhere. Or if you want, you can remove the shredding head from the top of the basket and you can place it on your existing round or rectangular trash can with an opening between 12" and 14.25" wide.
• The SC-032 can strip cut up to six sheets of paper at a time without the need to remove staples or paper clips before shredding. This is ideal for dealing with junk mail and credit card applications that come in the mail. It is also an excellent option for office use in MBT Sawa,destroying documents with sensitive customer information or financial data that should not be thrown in the trash.
• The SC-032 cuts documents into strips that are 9/32" (7mm) wide. It can be set to shred automatically when paper is inserted into the throat. It can also be turned on manually or set to reverse mode in order to help deal with paper jams.

The supplies that are available for binding

• The supplies that are available for binding documents with GBC Surebind are somewhat limited. There are only a few colors and few sizes available. Unfortunately, as the thickness of your MBT Tembea Shoes,document gets bigger the number of options for binding quickly get smaller. If you want to bind documents that are thicker than one inch then you will probably have to settle on black binding strips. You may also have a difficult time finding strips to bind lengths other than eleven inch letter documents. Organizations who need to bind a number of different document lengths should look at the supplies that are available for this binding style before purchasing this machine.
• One of the best things about Surebind is that it is permanent. However, editing documents that are bound with this MBT Tembea Coffee,machine can be a little bit of a challenge. It is always a good idea to invest in a Velobind / Surebind debinding tool. This tool is designed to quickly and safely cut the spine off your document so that it can be edited and rebound. Just remember that the strips for this system are not reusable. You will need to use a brand new strip to bind your document for the second time.
• The Surebind System Two is designed to bind documents that are up to two inches thick. For many organizations this is more than adequate. However, companies who believe that they may need to bind documents that are thicker than this may want to consider the Surebind System Three. That machine can bind documents up to three inches thick.
• This machine includes a convenient push button punch control. This is great for handing a few documents. However, high volume users would probably benefit from a foot pedal control. The larger system three includes this feature. Unfortunately the system two does not.

Recommendation:

• The GBC Surebind System Two is an excellent choice for medium sized organizations that are looking for a highly professional fully electric binding system for their office.
• This system can create documents that are up to two inches thick and provides a highly secure bind to help ensure that your presentations and proposals aren't copied or tampered with.
• However, before investing money into this system it is important to first review the supplies that are available for this MBT Karani,system. If the supplies fit your needs then this system will be a good fit for you.
• It is also a good idea to order a Debinding tool for use with this machine. It will come in handy and is really the safest way to edit documents that are created with this system.

The GBC Surebind system two is a hot knife binding

• The GBC Surebind system two is a hot knife binding machine that is designed for medium sized organizations that value performance, professionalism and productivity.
• This system includes a high quality electric hole punch and an electric hot knife binding head. The fully MBT Changa Shoes,electric design of this machine helps to increase productivity and eliminates the need to pull a handle to punch the pages for your documents.
• The SureBind System Two is capable of binding documents that are up to two inches thick and can even be used to rebind documents that have already been bound with plastic comb binding.
• Plus, all the documents that you bind with your System 2 will be both permanent and secure.

Strengths / Features:

• The GBC Surebind System Two includes a medium duty electric hole-punch that produces a special ten hole pattern on a letter sized document. This hole pattern is designed to line up with the holes that are used for plastic comb binding. The punch on this machine is MBT Chapa Shoes,rated to handle up to 22 sheets of paper at a time. However, in my tests I found that it was easiest to use with between 15-18 sheets of paper. All you need to do is insert your pages into the front of the machine and press the button to activate the punch.
• This machine can bind documents up to two inches thick. This provides flexibility to organizations that sometimes need to bind larger documents. Plus, you only need two sizes of supplies to create documents with this machine. One inch strips can bind any thickness of document up to one inch and two inch strips can bind any thickness up to two inches. This cuts down on the need to inventory multiple supply sizes and can help your organization to save space and money.
• The hole pattern used for Surebind matches up with the pattern used for binding documents with Comb Binding. The pins fit securely in the 19 hole pattern to lock the pages into place. This means that it is possible to use this machine to rebind documents that have previously been bound with plastic comb binding. It is also possible to use this machine in conjunction with a plastic comb binding punch in order to increase productivity.
• Documents bound with SureBind look great. This is one of the most professional looking binding systems available on the market. It places a thin plastic strip along the binding edge on the front and back of your document. This strip helps to frame your document and provides an elegant finished look for your bound reports and presentations.
• One of the best things about this system is the fact that it binds documents securely and permanently. The hot knife technology used by the Surebind System 2 actually melts and rivets the spine of the document in place. Once a presentation is bound with this MBT Shoes Cheap,system the only way to edit it is to cut it apart. This makes it a great choice for creating tamper resistant documents and reports that contain sensitive information that you don't want changed.

One of the biggest limitations to the Surebind binding

• One of the biggest limitations to the Surebind binding system is the limited number of supplies that are available for this system. One inch letter sized strips are available in Black, Navy and MBT Sini,White. Black strips are also available for binding documents on the 8.5" edge of the paper. However, other color options or lengths are simply not available for Surebinding. Technically speaking the System one can punch legal sized paper. However, there are no legal sized spines available for this system.
• The SureBind System 1 is designed for binding books up to one inch thick. Users who need to bind documents that are thicker than this will need to consider either the Surebind System Two or System Three.
• The punching mechanism on this machine is decent and can punch both standard weight papers as well as plastic MBT Sawa Shoes,covers. However, users may want to consider purchasing punched covers for use with their binding system. This will help to prolong the punching dies on the system. Over time when using this system for large numbers of documents I found that it became less and less effective when punching plastic covers. This is something to keep in mind.
• The security offered by this binding system is great. However, the only way to debind a document that is bound with Surebind is to cut the binding strip open. Using a razor blade knife or other sharp instrument for this purpose can be very dangerous and can result in injury. The best way to debind a hot knife document is to use a Velobind Debinding tool. This tool offers a protected razor blade that will cut the pins of your spine while protecting your fingers during the debinding process.

Recommendation:

• The GBC Surebind System one is an excellent choice for small and medium sized organizations that need a secure and professional binding system.
• This machine offers tremendous security and tamper resistance for your documents and at the same time allows you to make your presentations and proposals look great.
• However, this machine is somewhat limited by the supplies that are available for it. Users who need to bind custom sized documents or want a large selection of colored binding strips will probably be disappointed with the Surebind System one.
• This is a great machine for small organizations that want to create a few dozen documents per week or who want to rebind some of their old comb bound presentations. Users who need to bind MBT Tataga,more than 25-50 documents per week may want to consider a larger machine with an electric binding punch such as the Surebind System Two or Three.

The GBC SureBind system one binding machine

• The GBC SureBind system one binding machine is the most basic Sure Bind binding system available on the market.
• It combines a medium duty manual punch with high quality hot knife binding system that is designed for creating MBT Ema Sandals,documents up one inch.
• The SureBind System One uses special ten pin binding strips to create highly secure and professional bound documents.
• Plus, you can use this machine to rebind your old comb bound documents bringing old material back to life with a whole new binding style.

Strengths / Features:

• The GBC Surebind System One offers one of the most secure binding styles available anywhere. Much like Velobind, Surebind uses hot knife technology to permanently rivet the spine in place. The only way to edit a document bound with this system is to cut the spine off the document and rebind it. Although this system works much like Velobind, it is MBT Tembea,even more secure. Far less users own SureBind binding systems and therefore less users have the ability to edit documents bound with this binding style.
• This binding machine can bind any document up to one inch thick using one size of spine. Many other binding systems require you to use a spine that matches the size of your document. This requires inventorying a number of different sized supplies. With Surebind, you can simply stock one inch binding strips and bind any thickness of document up to 1".
• Documents bound with GBC Surebind simply look great. This is one of the most professional and elegant binding styles that I have seen. It places a thin plastic strip along the binding edge of the document. This strip is not only functional but also helps to frame your document and provides it with a classy finished look.
• The punch on the SureBind system One is capable of punching up to twenty five sheets of paper at a time. However, it works best when you punch between fifteen and twenty sheets of 20lb paper at a time. This punch can also handle one or two plastic or poly binding covers at one time. These punching capacities should be more than adequate for most light volume users.
• The hole pattern used by this binding system actually matches up with the hole pattern used for plastic comb binding. This allows users who have documents that are bound with plastic combs to rebind them with Surebind. It also allows users to use a high volume comb binding punch or prepunched comb binding paper to increase productivity using this system.

The truth, though, is that Macedonia is in no position

The truth, though, is that Macedonia is in no position to effectively negotiate with Greece. The latter - through a series of controversial investments - came to virtually own the former's economy. So many Greek businessmen travel to Macedonia that Olympic Airways, the Greek national MBT Tunisha Shoes, carrier began regular flights to its neighbor's capital. The visa regime was eased. Greeks need not apply for Macedonian visas, Macedonians obtain one year Schengen visas from the applicants-besieged Greek liaison office in Skopje. A new customs post was inaugurated in 2000. Greek private businesses gobbled up everything Macedonian - tobacco companies, catering cum hotel groups, mining complexes, travel agencies - at bargain basement prices, injecting much needed capital and providing access to the EU.

The sale of Macedonia's oil refinery, "Okta", to the partly privatized Greek "Hellenic Petroleum" in May 1999, was opaque and contentious. Then Prime Minister of Macedonia, Ljubco Georgievski, and then Minister of Finance, Boris Stojmenov, were accused by the opposition of corrupt dealings. Rumors abounded about three "secret annexes" to the sale agreement which MBT Sapatu Shoes,cater to the alleged venality of top politicians and the parties of the ruling coalition. The deal included a pledge to construct a 230 km. $90 million oil pipeline between the port of Thessalonica and Skopje (with a possible extension to Belgrade). The Greeks would invest $80 million in the pipeline and this constitutes a part of a $182 million package deal. This was not "Hellenic Petroleum"'s only Balkan venture. It acquired distribution networks of oil products in Albania as well.

After the Austrian "Erste Bank" pulled out of the deal, "National Bank of Greece" (NBG) drove a hard bargain when it bought a controlling stake in "Stopanska Banka", Macedonia's leading banking establishment for less than $50 million in cash and in kind. With well over 60% of all banking assets and liabilities in Macedonia and with holdings in virtually all significant firms in the country, "Stopanska Banka" is synonymous with the Macedonian economy, or what's left of it. NBG bought a "clean" bank, its bad loans portfolio hived off to the MBT Karani Shoes,state. NBG - like other Greek banks, such as Eurobank, has branches and owns brokerages in Albania, Bulgaria, and Romania. But nowhere is it as influential as in Macedonia. It was able to poach Gligor Bisev, the Deputy Governor of Macedonia's central Bank (NBM) to serve as its CEO. Another Greek bank, Alpha Bank, has bought a controlling stake in Kreditna Banka, a Macedonian bank with extensive operations in Kosovo and among NGO's.

Even as Greece and Macedonia continued to wrestle with the name

Even as Greece and Macedonia continued to wrestle with the name issue (should the young Republic monopolize the ancient name or not), the former continued its furious pace of investments in the latter.

According to the Greek newspaper, Elefteros Topos, between the years 2000-2006, Greeks invested almost 263 million MBT Sawa,USD in their nascent neighbor. That would make Greece the second largest foreign investor in Macedonia. Of the 20 most sizable investments in Macedonia's economy, 17 are financed with Greek capital. More than 20,000 people are employed in Greek-owned enterprises (c. 6% of the active workforce in this unemployment-plagued polity).

Greeks are everywhere: banking (28% of their total investment in the country); energy (25%); telecommunications (17%); industry (15%); and food (10%).

The foundations of the current presence of Greece in all Balkan countries - including EU members, Romania and Bulgaria - were MBT Sport 2,laid in the decade of the 1990s.

Overview of Greek Investment Strategy in the Balkans in 1995-2000

On December 10, 2001 the Brussels-based think tank, International Crisis Group, proposed a solution to the Greek-Macedonian name dispute. It was soon commended by the State Department. The Greeks and Macedonians were MBT Tembea Coffee,more lukewarm but positive all the same.

Doctors are not the only ones to reject

Doctors are not the only ones to reject the new medical EMR software; hospitals are also beginning to turn away from this new type of technology. It has been estimated that only around 10% of all hospitals and large practices use medical EMR software. These same estimates claim that only MBT Chapa Shoes,16% of all doctors use this type of product in their office or practice. Considering that many doctors can only devote a small percentage of their annual revenue towards technology and upgrades, this shouldn’t be surprising.?/p>

The main reason that doctors and hospitals do not want to switch to medical EMR software is because it can be quite expensive. A large portion of their income and revenue is devoted towards paying their own bills, such as rent, electricity, and medical supplies. They must also pay their MBT Karani,staff for working, and advertise their services. This leaves very little money left over for luxury items such as upgrading their entire system.

Medical EMR software is a completely new field and a new type of technology. Though it has been shown to work quite well, there are still a large number of people who have yet to take the plunge. It will be MBT Tembea Shoes, interesting to see how things change over the next few years.

Medical EMR software refers to a type of medical

Medical EMR software refers to a type of medical record that is recorded in a digital format. This means that instead of using old fashioned notes and paper files, they store all the information on their computer of MBT Sawa Shoes,handheld electronic device such as a PDA or Blackberry. There are some who refer to this type of file as an EMR, or electronic health record. However in most field, the two phrases essentially mean the same thing. Medical EMR software is used by health professionals and doctors alike. There are also some individuals who use medical EMR software to keep track of information pertaining to their medical practice such as their budget.

Medical EMR software has yet to catch on in the United States as quickly as some people originally thought. They assumed that MBT Shoes Cheap,because it made the lives of doctors and medical professionals easier, it would be a highly popular idea. Unfortunately a large percentage of doctors working in the US are hesitant to use these products. They are highly concerned with patients rights, and unwilling to do anything to compromise those rights.

Some doctors view medical EMR software as a violation of their patients’ rights, and also a violation of the Hippocratic oath. They have no way of completely protecting these records and are therefore unwilling to switch from the standard way of record keeping. These doctors realize that it is MBT Changa Shoes,quite easy to steal the records off of their computer, and that even their nurses can print off the information without a second thought.

What is the key to most successful businesses?

What is the key to most successful businesses? Marketing. After all, you can have the best product in the world, but if no one hears about it, it is not going to matter. Unfortunately, not everyone can afford to put a 30 MBT Tembea,second spot on the Super Bowl. That is where commercial color printing comes in to play.A brand is a business’s identity. It establishes credibility, and a quick walk through the supermarket will confirm that people are willing to pay more for brands. The first step in developing a brand for your business is to know who you are. Are you an upscale restaurant or a dollar store?When you MBT Tataga,pick a name the two things to look at are how memorable it is and how easy it is to spell. Some companies pay up to $35 000 to research the correct name. Choose wisely--remember that this name is going to be on everything from business cards to radio ads.Next, you are going to want a logo, something simple and memorable. Think of a popular restaurant and odds are the first thing that pops into your head is the logo. If you see two golden arches, you assume that a McDonalds is there.So, you have a name and a logo, now you’re going to want to decide which colors to use. There are different advantages to each color and you should not pick your favorites. For example, red and orange are both known to stimulate appetite. How many fast food restaurants do you know that have at least one of those colors? Almost every single one. That is not a coincidence, nor should your use of color be.When you are building a new business one of the keys to survival is knowing your competition. Many would-be successful businesses take this too lightly. You should know everything you can about anyone in the area who provides anything remotely similar to what your business does. You need to know about more than their product though. You should know what they are doing for advertising, how long they have been in business, what worked for them when they were starting out--essentially anything, you can find.Building a business is not easy, and it never will be. Most businesses fail, usually because someone looked over a small detail. Maybe the market was poorly evaluated, maybe the MBT Sini,product was rushed--do not let those be your excuses. Understand your market, and use the information you have gathered to attack it. That is the key to building a business.

Many people are skeptical that business model innovation

Many people are skeptical that business model innovation can revolutionize any business. Perhaps if you consider an example from a tradition-bound business, you'll be persuaded that the barriers have all MBT Boost Shoes fallen for creating more powerful business models.

Let's consider the impact of business model innovation on the geological thinking behind underground gold mining, an industry that has had one of the most stable business models in the world. Based on archeological records, it is estimated that that business has been around for thousands of years.

Until the industrial revolution, when power and explosives could be applied in the mines and stratigraphic maps were created, the business model and methods used were essentially unchanged. You put more effort into wherever you found some gold.

You drilled lots of exploratory holes to see what you could find, and made three dimensional maps of what you learned to suggest where the gold might be found by extending the strata you knew to be gold bearing. Then you drilled some more.

Until recently, the only innovation since then was the development of futures markets for gold, so that miners could sell their MBT Staka Sandals,future production and inventories when they wanted to reduce uncertainty or risk.

In March 2000, the gold-finding part of the business model was laid to rest for all time by Goldcorp Inc. The company issued a challenge to all of the world's geologists to find more gold in its Red Lake Mine. That mine was already tapping into one of the world's richest, highest-grade gold deposits.

A negotiator with limits becomes harder to deal with

A negotiator with limits becomes harder to deal with. They can say "no" gracefully – someone else is saying it. That someone else can be a procedure, a policy, a budget, an engineering standard, or maybe a regulation that can't be budged.

Often one person's limits can become the MBT Shuguli GTX other person's problem. If you and I are negotiating and I have limits to my authority, it is up to you to figure out a way around them. You are forced into a choice: either accept the deal at my limits or make a lot of work for yourself, and maybe get no deal at all.

If you challenge my lack of authority by taking the problem to a higher authority, other apprehensions set in. Now you must take on my boss, or their boss, or the legal department, or the engineering staff – all of whom represent new relationships and a greater degree of preparation on your part. Also, if you do go to higher levels, there is always a chance the party you are negotiating with will get angry.

There is greater strength in not having authority than in having it. A person going into a negotiation would do well to MBT BoostMBT Sport, ask, "What limits do I want imposed on my authority?" Well chosen limits can make a big difference in the outcome of your negotiation.

The typical rodent elimination arsenal includes snap traps

The typical rodent elimination arsenal includes snap traps, rodenticides and mechanical traps. Though these products may be effective in killing rodents, they do not stop rodents from continuing to infiltrate a building. To effectively eliminate rodent problems, all points of ingress must be fully sealed. Now a revolutionary new “green” system helps home and property owners MBT Boost Shoes,locate ingress and egress points, allowing rodents to be trapped and removed, nests to be located and destroyed, and entry points to be effectively sealed. The innovative Track & Trap rodent control system, available in both mouse and rat sizes, is the smart, “green” way to take care of rodent problems.

The Track & Trap system features a special tracking box that is loaded with a food attractant, surrounded by a powdered, environmentally-friendly fluorescent chemical. As mice or rats scurry around the food trough, their feet and bodies become dusted with fluorescent powder. Ultraviolet light sensors allow pest control experts to pinpoint ingress points and even MBT Staka Sandals,follow rodents back to their indoor dens. This allows traps to be targeted effectively, rodents and nests inside the building to be eliminated, and entry points to be permanently sealed to prevent further rodent problems.

Primarily nocturnal, rats and mice build nests of sticks and leaves

Primarily nocturnal, rats and mice build nests of sticks and leaves or nest in burrows. They live in polygynous groups of multiple males and females, the females breeding throughout the year. A mature female can produce up to five litters a year of 6 to 12 pups. Young rodents MBT BoostMBT Sport, reach maturity quickly and are capable of reproducing by 3 to 5 months of age. In the wild rodents generally live 6 months to a year but have been known to live up to four years in captivity.?

Aggressive in defending their territory, rodents exhibit many destructive behaviors that create problems for home and property owners. They contaminate food sources with their urine and feces, gnaw through baseboards and walls, destroy farm and garden crops and fruit trees, and spread MBT Shoes Clearance,internal parasites and mites that can infect pets and humans. Rat fleas carry a number of diseases than pose a serious danger to humans, pets and livestock.

In the Middle Ages, the Black Plague (also called the Black Death), carried and spread by the rat flea, decimated human populations worldwide killing more than 20 million. Bubonic plague spread by rats killed tens of millions during the 19th century Asian pandemic. Each year approximately 3,000 cases of bubonic plague are reported worldwide in Asia, Africa, the U.S. and South America. Scientists fear that global warming may increase the incidence of plaque which favors warmer climates. In 2006, campgrounds were closed for three MBT Shuguli GTX weeks in NaturalBridgesNational Monument in Utah when bubonic plague was detected in field mice and chipmunks. Rats and mice can also spread disease through parasites and feces. In the early 1990s, a deadly outbreak of Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome in New Mexico was linked to breathing the dust of mouse feces. Characterized by hemorrhagic fever and renal failure, a disturbing number of cases of the untreatable hantavirus have been reported each year in the U.S.

Eviction is rarely easy

Eviction is rarely easy. Widespread and abundant, rats and mice are considered the second and third most successful mammalian species inhabiting Earth today. Only humans have proved more adaptable. Spread throughout the world by early seafarers, rats and mice are found on all Earth’s MBT Kisumu, continents, exhibiting an amazing ability to adapt to extreme and harsh climate conditions. Rodents thrive in diverse environments from swampy river banks and city sewers to the upper branches of trees and the top MBT Baridi,floors of high-rise buildings. Opportunistic survivors that live with and near humans, Corrigan calls rats “a barometer for human activity.”

Rats and mice have long been a problem in large metropolitan areas where food sources and hiding places abound. The low shrubbery, parked cars, construction sites, abandoned buildings, tunnels and sewers common in cities provide ideal cover and harborage. Overflowing dumpsters, trash bags stacked along sidewalks and lunch bags tossed in sidewalk garbage cans provide a never-ending food source. But mice and rats are not relegated to cities. As natural habitats in fields, woods and rivers have given way to development, rodents increasingly seek harborage in suburban homes and multi-family dwellings. A recent History channel special, Life After People, postulated that without man’s refuse to feed on, rats and mice would be among the first animals to perish should man become extinct.

The challenge in keeping rodents out of a building is to find and seal off entry points. It’s narrow skull and flexible body allows rodents to creep into homes through small cracks, holes and crevices MBT Baridi Shoes and along sewer and pipe outlets. It’s said that if a mouse can fit his nose in a hole, he can squirm his body through it. Adept climbers, they use their long tails for balance. While mice are quite small, often only an inch or two in length and weighing less than an ounce, rats grow to 5 or more inches in size and can weigh a pound or more.

How Can I Prevent This From Happening?

How Can I Prevent This From Happening?

The answer here is twofold: (1) Partner with an Nike Blazer Low insurance provider who doesn't forget about you as soon as they write your insurance policies. (2) Make sure that your provider understands the nuances of workers compensation insurance and is proactive in monitoring your account. In our example above, the agent did check-in periodically to update your company's payroll. But she didn't realize that the business had changed and that a re-classification was in order. A costly and unnecessary mistake!

So What Can You Do Now?

Next week I will be publishing a follow up article showing how you can find out if this has happened to your company and also Nike Shox Turbo, how you can recoup some of your money. Until then, contact me using the information below.

Now It's 10 Years Later

Now It's 10 Years Later

Congratulations! Not only have you remained in Nike Shox Deliver business for 10 years you've really prospered. Now instead of just one employee, you have 50. And boy has your business changed. No longer do you just make widgets, you distribute, install, and service them. In fact, you don't really manufacture them at all. Five years ago you decided it was cheaper to outsource the manufacturing part of the business. Throughout this time your agent checked in with you and steadily increased your payroll as your number of employees increased. But she hasn't walked through your facility in 10 years and doesn't understand that your business has fundamentally changed. Therefore, Nike Shox Clearance,you're still paying your workers comp premiums based on a manufacturing rate. Think a manufacturing rate might be higher than a service rate?

Is Misclassification Pretty Rare?

NO! Multiply that by the number of years you've been misclassified and you may begin crying like a baby. The industry consensus is that anywhere from 60%-75% of all companies have some sort of miscalculation figured into their premium.

What Could that Mean to My Organization?

Let's assume that the rate for widget manufacturing is $8 for every $100 of payroll. We'll further assume that 40 of your 50 employees are currently classified as such and as a group represent $1,200,000 of payroll. Your unadjusted workers comp premium for this group would be $96,000 per year. But what if your employees were properly classified at the lesser widget service rate? For this Nike Shox Cheap,example we'll assume the rate to service widgets is $5 for each $100 of payroll. You just saved yourself $36,000 a year - every year. Multiply that by the number of years you've been misclassified and you may start sobbing uncontrollably!

The Second Article of the Six part series: The 6 Things Every Employer Must Know About Workers' Compensation Insurance

The Million Dollar Question

How do you know if your business or Nike Shox R5, organization is being charged the correct amount for workers compensation insurance? I'm not talking about whether or not you think your premium is too high. I'm asking what procedure do you have in place to confirm that what your business actually does is properly reflected in your rate classification? I'm waiting...OK that's what I thought.

Does This Describe Your Company?

When you first went into the widget manufacturing business you understood that if you were going to have employees, you were going to have to buy workers compensation insurance. (If you didn't realize it now would be a good time to read my previous article). So you called your insurance agent and said you were about to hire your first employee. Your agent had always done a great job on your car insurance so you figured she's probably an expert at workers comp insurance as well. The agent came out and looked around your new business. She then consulted her trusty workers comp rating manual from XYZ insurance company and Nike Blazer,picked one of the available 330 classifications approved by the Pennsylvania Compensation Rating Bureau (PCRB) and assigned it to your business. The insurance company then charged you a premium based on your classification and your payroll. End of story right?

When the song was over, I flipped to another channel on my Walkman

When the song was over, I flipped to another channel on my Walkman. The SAME song came on. I listened to it and got chills up my spine. I thought, "OK, perhaps I shouldn't give up so easily. Maybe there is a way."

Not sure if you'll believe this, because I didn't at first. But I flipped to yet another channel. And yes, there it was. The song was playing again. The SAME song about not giving up, about dusting myself off and trying again. I got more than chills. My eyes welled up in tears and I stopped in my tracks. I stood there silently and made a commitment to myself: I was never going to give up. I was going to do what it took to succeed at this thing. And the rest is history...

YOUR ASSIGNMENT:

1. Don't give up. If the going gets though, if marketing becomes a challenge or you're not seeing results, keep persisting. Try a different approach. Look at what successful people are doing and do something similar (don't copy just get inspired). Finish what you've been procrastinating, just don't give up. Success is right around the corner and most people give up JUST before they reach the top.

2. Look for support, a mentor, or a marketing coach. Learn only from people who are already successful or have achieved what you want to achieve. Mentor with people who live the life you want to live. Join programs or mastermind groups with others going through their own processes, so you know you're not alone (Try my new Inner Circle: www.ClientAttractionInnerCircle.com.)

3. Print up the following quotes on persistence and stick them on the wall next to your computer, tape them on your bathroom mirror and your refrigerator, whatever it takes to read them over and over again, to give you the strength to keep going. I'm rooting for you and I know you can do it. :)

Quotes to keep you in Client Attraction Mode, even when things get tough:

"Never, never, never give up!" Winston Churchill

"Never Quit. Don't ever, ever quit. Recognize that stopping now, regrouping to try a new approach isn't quitting. If you quit you'll regret it forever." Rudy Ruettiger

"Never give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about

"Never give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about." Unknown

Have you ever given your all to something, experienced some delays, encountered disappointments, and then given up? What about when it comes to marketing your business? Do you sometimes get frustrated because the results you want aren't coming to you as quickly as you'd like, despite the Police Sunglasses fact that you bust your butt to see results? Do you then start to doubt yourself, your skills and talent, your ability to succeed?

You're not the only one. I know I've been there more than once since being self-employed. I have been tempted to quit on projects or promotions that weren't going strong on more than one occasion. And I've even contemplated giving up on self-employment when the chips were down and times were tough.

I remember being in my own practice less than a few years, and for a few weeks, things got really tough financially. It seemed like no one was signing up for my program all of a sudden, two (non-ideal) clients had decided to back out and money got really tight.

Was it a funk or was it a sign that I shouldn't be self-employed? I couldn't tell. I went into fear mode, wondering if I would have to go back to working in the corporate world, something I just couldn't bear to think about, but I just didn't see the alternative. I was THIS close to giving up and shutting down my business.

And then something happened. I was walking across Union Square in New York City, headphones on, listening to the radio and a Bvlgari Sunglasses,song by Aaliyah came on the radio. The lyrics really spoke to me:

And if at first you don't succeed

Then dust yourself off and try again

You can dust it off and try again (Try again)

One thing that Gina Gaudio-Grave

One thing that Gina Gaudio-Graves taught me is the importance of passion. If you think about it, why would you ever start something or do something for a prolonged period of time if you are not passionate about it. Actually that reminds me of an earlier article in which I recalled a cheap designer sunglasses sentence Henry Gold said not too long ago reciting the definition of insanity. Remember, insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. What we really want to do is spending time on the things we are really passionate about. Then these things will not appear to be work or chores but something we really enjoy and don't mind to use our valuable time for.

The final part of a formula for success is called association. You can also call it networking. Everybody these days is talking about it and it really makes a difference. Whether you are a member at LinkedIn, Plaxo, MySpace, Xing, or other networks, it is important to be connected if you want to become successful. Kevin Nations is one of the foremost networkers in the Miu Miu Sunglasses, United States and he does everything he can to get peoples contact info and then stay in touch with them.

Taken these aspects together, what are the 4 components of success?

1. Passion

2. Talent

3. Action

4. Association/Networking

When you put it in a formula, what you get is this:

P + T x A2 = SUCCESS

All you need to do is take it and go out and apply it. Take your passion and apply your talent to it. If you are passionate about it, you are probably already talented in it, or can become a great talent quickly. Then you take massive action and throw in lots of networking with everybody you can, and you can't avoid success. If you use the positive energy I always recommend, and you will feel when you do something you are passionate about, you will become an attraction for others.

We have been looking at success

We have been looking at success from a number of different Burberry Sunglasses, angles. Sometimes you just run across someone with a nice little formula that works for what we are interested in or want to say.

During a recent trip to Sedona I participated in a number of sessions that had to do with creating business success.

Laural Langemeier taught us about the lack of education in financial matters in our schools, colleges and universities. She made it clear that you need talent for what you want to do, but you also need to surround yourself with the right people to get good advice. For me one aspect was the Ray Ban Sunglasses,relevance of talent. Laural's site at Live out Loud is a great resource and I have completed their coaching program myself.

Besides talent, we all have heard that it takes massive action to move things from where they are to where they need to go. Many people speak and write about it. One of the most elegant ways I have seen recently is a story, or I should say a fable or parable. In Life's Golden Ticket Brendon Burchard explains how one can loose the right perspective on taking action because he or she is afraid to make mistakes or receive punishment when something goes wrong.

Taking massive action is very important for me and I am hoping to invite you to do the same. I am currently trying to find people who want to take action with me, and help make AMC LLC into a better, more profitable company with the aim to serve our clients even better than we currently do, especially through an e-commerce presence.

Creating an e-book is an easy way to get you feet wet in the world

Creating an e-book is an easy way to get you feet wet in the world of internet marketing. With just a few hints and tips on how this is done you could already be staring your own as soon as you have finished reading this brief report. If you are afraid to write your own work then why not employ someone to do this for you; alternatively use them for research purposes for extra material.The first thing to do research the topic for Arnette Sunglasses,your e-book and write some articles and although this can be any subject, it is easier to write about something you are interested in that people are willing to buy the information you have. Single articles are an easy place to start and they can also be sued to market your book before you have even completed it. This is a simple process whereby the promotional articles are sent to directories for insertion; the number of views they get will provide a good indication just how much interest there is in the subject. Once this is complete you can start writing the content of the e-book and work out how you want it to look. Books generally follow a familiar structure of: introduction, main subject content and a conclusion but it is becoming very common to see an additional section on resources. Many books now contain bonus material to give it more value and increase the number of people that buy it.As you complete your articles, insert them into your e-Book, the number of articles you require will depend on the overall length. Because e-books are usually shorter than a printed version, no-one wants to read material that has been added that is not related so it is best to stay close to the topic of the book. If you stay Oakley Sunglasses Cheap, close to the subject it will be easier for readers because computer screens are not the best medium for reading on.

This is a bit of an exaggeration

This is a bit of an exaggeration, but too many people offered a similar routine to discount how easy it is for people without discipline to put off starting the work day. Replace the gardening and laundry with mowing, dusting, scrubbing floors, Dolce & Gabbana Sunglasses,cooking, working on a hobby, watching TV, etc., and you can see how easy a week can go by without getting any work done.

The distractions of daily home tasks can overwhelm some home-based business owners. However, there are a few easy-to-establish habits you can adopt fairly quickly. First, write down everything you want accomplished to keep your home in the condition that will allow you to “go to work”. Maybe choose a couple days a week that you do laundry, one for yard work, etc. Always allow at least one hour a day for a quick run-through of the house first thing in the morning to do the little things that aren’t scheduled (pick up magazines, empty waste baskets, etc.).

Once you have a routine, you’ll discover many hours each day you can devote to your company. Also set a schedule and to-do list for your work tasks. Have specific days for chosen tasks (pay bills, write an article, out-of-office appointments, etc.) and that will help create concentrated blocks of time.

One time saver for the office is to check and ANSWER emails and phone messages only twice a day. Don’t leave the email account open. The little Coach Sunglasses,envelope appearing on your computer screen, or the ‘ding’ indicating you have mail, is a big distraction. Eliminate it. The amount of time you’ll save with this technique is amazing!

Procrastination, focus or discipline

Procrastination, focus or discipline -- it doesn’t matter what you call it. The fact is that some people just can’t seem to do what they need to do, when they need to do it. When deciding whether to be a home-based business or have an office at another location, the key determinating factor is whether you have the Armani Sunglasses, discipline to be home-based. It doesn’t matter why you aren’t in your office when you should be; it matters only that you aren’t there! The bottom line is, the business will not be handled, and before long there won’t be a business. Setting goals and to-do lists helps, but if you’re not in the office, you aren’t working on those lists.

One would think that needing to earn a living would create the discipline to get in the office, but those who procrastinate explain it this way: On my way into the office, I stop to make myself a cup of coffee. That creates an opportunity to wash the dishes. While the coffee is still brewing, I get dressed and see the pile of clothes that need washed. While the clothes are washing, I do go in to the office and check emails (notice I said ‘check’, not handle). The coffee is done, so back out to the kitchen to pour a cup and fix breakfast. It’s a bright sunny morning, so I choose to have my breakfast on the deck. Looking around, I see Versace Sunglasses,there are weeds to pull. A half-hour later, back into the house to put the clothes in the dryer. Now I can get to work. But, Oh! It’s lunch time. After lunch there is every intention to go into the office, but the dryer buzzes and the clothes need folded.

You get the picture. Before you know it, the day is gone. Papers are piling up on the desk, phone calls and emails remain unanswered and bills haven’t been paid. But you do have a sparkling clean house and an immaculate garden!

If all of this still isn’t enough to get you out of the office

If all of this still isn’t enough to get you out of the office, create some physical barriers for yourself. If you find you’re ‘stopping in’ to check emails every time you walk by the office door, there are a few things you can do to eliminate this. First, just close the door; lock it if necessary and put the key on the opposite side of the house. Bvlgari Sunglasses, Even if you have the key, you still have to make the effort to get the key and unlock the door. Put a sign on the door announcing (to yourself) your office hours. Turn off your computer. When you think about turning it back on, it reminds you why it’s turned off! These seem simple, but they work!

Knowing you can serve each equally well (personal and work) will provide a sense of balance, plus you’ll probably be better at both of them. And you’ll be able to do it wearing your fuzzy slippers.

Have you heard about the kids who live across the street from the school and are always running in as the bell rings? Or about the employee who lives just around the corner and is always the last to arrive each morning?

Strangely enough, the same can be true for an entrepreneur who has chosen to be a home-based business owner. Discipline often has more to do with being Gucci Sunglasses,late (or not arriving at all) than anything else.

The first step is to admit it’s a problem

The first step is to admit it’s a problem. I would venture to guess that your spouse and other family members have already discussed this with you. Take an eyes-wide-open look at your daily routine and ask if this is absolutely how you Burberry Sunglasses,want to spend the rest of your life. Sometimes just being honestly aware is enough to create the discipline needed to stop spending so much time in the office.

Give a true assessment of your work habits. Are you really being productive, or just doing busy work? Are there things that you can stop doing that won’t affect your customer service? Is there something you can reduce or eliminate that won’t affect the quality of your work? Can you outsource some of the daily routine?

If you had even a few hours a day away from the office, think of the things you could do instead. Spending time with family members, friends or even business associates on a social level would begin mending and creating life-long relationships. Start a hobby that helps you relax. Read a book, watch a movie or go out to dinner on a regular basis. Create a daily routine of walking or working out. Have you always wanted to have a beautiful lawn? Now might be the perfect time to focus on your landscaping. Decide what you want Ray Ban Sunglasses, then begin doing it, even if you need to schedule it. Without filling in the hours you just freed up being in the office, you’ll just fall back into the old habit of continually working.

Raising small business finance isn’t an easy process

Raising small business finance isn’t an easy process, particularly in light of the recent credit crunch and the liquidity problems experienced across global financial markets.? Of course that’s filtered down to small business loans, which are now less easy to , MBT Imara,come by, particularly at start-up stage.? Yet, ironically, getting any business off the ground requires money and a bit of faith from those with the resources to spare.? Raising small business finance from a bank is yet still most likely the path of least resistance to raising funds.? Your alternatives are to find a private investor or investors, who will almost certainly be looking for an equity stake in return for their input, and will be far more discerning that the bank in choosing to whom they give their financial backing.?

I now have 3 Virtual Assistants and looking to hire one more. One who does all my bookkeeping, manages my shopping cart sales and my QuickBooks, one who does all my data entry for all the business cards I collect out networking and they also do any mailers that need to go out to my list. The third VA is my right hand gal - she does MBT Sini Shoes, everything I can think of. Anything that comes across my desk that needs to be signed up for, looked into, opportunities that need investigating plus she handles my whole membership program (Marketing Mentor Program) - new sign ups, cancellations, email blasts, website updates and so much more! I couldn't think about doing this alone anymore and I am no longer on the hamster wheel!!

I realize it's hard to figure out how and what to outsource at first because you think you are the only one that can do certain things.

Once you do this you will be able to step off that hamster wheel more often than not and you will have so much more free time to do the things that you LOVE TO DO, be with the clients you LOVE working with, be able to develop new products and MBT Tunisha,services and figure out ways to leverage your time and expertise to make you more M.O.N.E.Y. with less effort and less time.

That second employee was so good

That second employee was so good in fact that she got hired out from under me to work full time in a great job. I wished her well because it was ideal for her but then I was stuck again and back on the hamster wheel, doing it all myself.

I was introduced to a temp agency who could have someone come and work in my home or from their home if need be for certain projects. I hired someone from the temp agency who worked out very well. She had another small business of MBT Lami, her own and she did other work for other professionals as well. She brought many ideas to the table for me and challenged me to work more ON my business and let her work IN it. She took on client projects and research projects plus other things that I really didn't need to be doing. I in turn was able to network more, follow up more and got a lot more new clients and referrals after this.

After this temp gal ran her course I was so used to someone working "virtually" for me, from her home or from mine depending on the day or project that I wasn't sure I wanted someone to come back into my home office space again. This is when I learned about Virtual Assistants - what a concept! They do my work from their home and MBT Chapa GTX,gets done efficiently and successfully.

Why do we always insist on doing it all?

I can't tell you how many clients and other business owners I see every month who continue to believe that THEY have to DO IT ALL.

I learned this lesson a couple years ago. When I hired my first assistant I thought I had to hire "an employee" so I got the insurance, worker's comp, payroll service and put an ad out.

I didn't even know what I could pay or for how many hours mind you at this time, I just knew in order to get more successful and get more business quicker - I needed someone to help me do the things that were slowing me down.

So I found my first "employee", paid the payroll, taxes, etc. It was all relatively easy.

Unfortunately that employee ran his course and I soon needed someone with additional talents and skills. So I (being the connector that I am) found MBT Kisumu 2,that employee another job with a client of mine and hired a different employee for myself with added skills that I needed to get me to my next step.

She realized these excuses and reasons for not calling these people

She realized these excuses and reasons for not calling these people were also covering up her fear of rejection. What if they don’t want to help me? What if they’re not interested? As long as she believed these thoughts to be true, nothing MBT Ema, would change and her business would suffer.

Once she distinguished her fear of failing was a self-imposed negative belief and not the truth, she began to feel freed up. The fear no longer had to keep her stopped. She knew she had created these self-limiting thoughts and they were not true. We then created a step-by-step plan and she got into action. What followed was amazing!

She contacted all the people on her list, has nearly completed her website, and started sending out letters introducing her services. The positive responses she received from people she had reached out to helped her to feel more confident and gave her more clarity on the direction of her business. And, the best news is two companies she had contacted have expressed interest in hiring her. These results happened when Christina identified the fear that had been holding her back, realized she had created the negative thoughts and changed her thoughts, created an action plan, and then got into action.

Write down all the thoughts you’re having at this time.

Then ask yourself, “Did I make up these thoughts or did someone tell me these thoughts are true?”

Write down the steps you can take NOW to get you into action.

Partial productivity illustrates the contention that total productivity

Partial productivity illustrates the contention that total productivity can only be measured approximately or partially using any component of production.
