Sample Content Preview INTRODUCTION If you are looking to open a business of your very own, you are not alone. Every year more and more people make the decision to stop working to make other people rich and to start their own businesses. For most of them, having the start-up capital that is needed is harder than one might think. Small business grants are often a hot topic with new business people with a small amount of money and little access to other capital. We have all seen the many media claims about "Free Government Grant for Small Business." It seems all too easy to get these days. Of course, if it were really that easy, all you would have to do is find a government small business grant to apply for, apply and before you knew it you would have the money to grow your business. Most U.S. government departments, like the Department of Commerce, do not provide any grants for help in starting a small business. Grant programs are available through state programs and other groups as well. The grant programs are often awarded to people in fields such as medicine or education, and they all have specific eligibility criteria. The process of finding a small business grant program to apply for and reviewing the requirements to getting is very time consuming. After conducting a two-week search for a medical publisher, I found the requirements to be very specific and difficult to meet. Eligibility can be based on your location, and your business’ sales revenue to the application date, years in business, sex, race, and even for the purpose of funding. If your business sets out on a small business grant seeking mission there are some questions that you will have to answer which are: 1. Do you have the time and the resources available so that you can search for a small business grant program and apply for it? 2. Can you afford to hire a consultant if you are unsure of how to do it, or can you learn the grant application process by yourself? 3. Does your business need the money right now for expansion or can you wait up to a year? 4. If you do decide to ask for a grant, will it hurt your business because it will be taking away time from selling and marketing? If you want to take a look at the small business grants available, the best place to start is the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA). The CFDA lists thousands of grants from all government agencies for free. Many business grants will be geared towards minority business development or rural business opportunity grants. Do not overlook the other assistance programs available such as equipment and training. If you do find a small business grant program that is available for your business, you will need to be ready to go through a lengthy, approval process. With today’s funding cutbacks and the high amount of competition you will want to be prepared for it by following these quick tips:...

This is never truer than during a wedding. Weddings are a time when everyone involved seems to be expected to give a speech.

However, although there is always some degree of risk involved when making an investment, trust deeds happen to be one of the safest investments available today, because unlike other investments, a trust deed is secured by actual property – homes, buildings and land. Aside from the security of real property, with a trust deed investment, the other advantage is the investor receives higher than average rates of return.  This is due to the fact that borrowers are willing to pay a higher interest rate because private investors are flexible with their loans, as they are not limited by traditional rules of bank loans.  Without the constraints of such rules, private investors can provide quicker loans that do not follow the same rules as is required for traditional lending. Furthermore, deeds of trust are safe investments because borrowers are generally a good risk to take.  The following are two excellent reasons why: 1.    The borrower could loose their property (home, land, etc.) if they fail to pay the loan. 2.    If the appropriate research has been done, the investment will have a more than sufficient loan to value (LTV) ratio.  In other words, the loan amount is exceeded by the real property value.

Chances are that they’ve attributed the failure of the marriage to their spouse, dispensing with self-examination.  Blaming the other instead of oneself becomes the favorite pastime, the most convenient means to walk away. By failing to accept their own frailties, and not realizing that they’ve entered the marriage with unreasonable demands and unrealistic expectations, they unconsciously released the forces leading to a potential separation. There’s also the phenomenon of short memories.  For some reason, the same individuals who vowed to support each other during their time of wedded bliss have forgotten their commitment and vows to love each other through thick and thin. Our modern society has indeed become a disposable society.  This is what Alvin Toffler had predicted almost two decades ago.

PLR Ebook Sample Content Preview Introduction Fly fishing is a very popular fishing sport that can be both relaxing and challenging at the same time. The following tips and tricks are ideal of beginners.  When you’re just starting out learning to fly fish you’ll want all the help and advice that you can get from the experts. Tip #1:  Practice your Casting The experts say that the one thing that you need to do to develop a good casting technique is to practice as often as you can.  This will lead to a proficiency in casting that make all the difference between being a successful fly fisher or a frustrated one. Try practicing against a wall on the outside of your house.  Just imagine that there is a clock hanging on the wall that is at the same level as your shoulder.  Place markers, such as black electric tape, at the 11:00 and 1:00 clock positions.  Practice casting against these markers for a few minutes each day to improve your accuracy and style. Tip #2:  Rods There are several things that you need to think about when choosing the right type of rod for you.  Every reel and rod has a certain function that you need to be aware of. One of the first things that you need to consider is comfort.  Is the rod that you're using comfortable for you to hold?  If you're shorter than about 5'5" you won't want to use a rod that is seven feet.  Choose a rod length that is easy for you to hold and cast for a few hours at a time. Most of the rods on the market today are designed to allow you to feel when a fish bites. The shaft of the rod is called a "blank" and when the rod is first manufactured the blank is made from fiberglass, graphite, or other materials.  Each of these blanks has an action that is either: light, medium, medium/heavy, or heavy.  The upper portion will also have an action that is either: extra light, light, or regular. Both ends of the blank are assembled and the final result is a fishing rod, complete with a handle and guide.  No matter what type of rod that you're using, the "action" of the rod will refer to the "blank".  The action of the rod will have a great deal to do with the type of fishing that you're doing. Tip #3:  Holding your Rod Effectively It’s important that you learn to hold your rod effectively under any fishing conditions.  You want to make sure that you maintain good control at all times without gripping too hard.  You can adjust the power of your hold when you’re in the middle of a cast.  This will allow you to minimize the vibrations of each movement.  With just a bit of practice you’ll be able to increase the tightness at the same as you learn to relax your grip.

First, you’ve never exercised before or engaged regularly in a sport; second, you’ve never been into the fitness crowd and have had meager time for such pursuits, and third, you’re far too busy to even think of exercise. In other words, YOU’RE JUST NOT INTO IT. Of course your friends talk about it and rave about the latest fitness craze, but you’ve seen it too often:  some of them are on the “on-again-off-again” treadmill / stair master mania, and you wonder why they haven’t shred the fat that they’re desperately still trying to hide. Seeing what your friends go through and not seeing any results, you cling to the notion that your total lack of interest is justified. You’re not the least bit inclined to engage in these circus-like contortions or do those mindless freestyle strokes in the water.  That would only encroach into your already busy schedule of...

Introduction On the back of the jacket of Jack Canfield’s book, The Success Principles, this quotation caught our attention:  “The principles always work if you work the principles”. Perhaps this is too simplistic a statement or merely echoes another familiar marketing “come-on”, but it does translate into a variation of the work ethic.  To us, this means doing instead of just thinking. And doing is synonymous to action, execution, implementation, carrying out – all these convey the active mode as opposed to the passive mode of just thinking. The human brain knows no limits when it comes to thinking out ways and strategies in dealing with all kinds of problems, but if these strategies and plans are NOT acted upon, they really hold no meaning – they’re like empty blueprints camouflaged in sparkling rhetoric.  And rhetoric comes cheap these days. We’ve made up our minds to be less ambitious about this work, and called the 101 recommendations and suggestions contained in this book as simply TIPS.  Tips on how NOT to procrastinate. Procrastination pervades every aspect of our lives.  And we’ve mastered it to perfection having learned a subtle form of it when we were babies. We delayed falling asleep because our mothers wouldn’t cradle us in her arms.  We’ve procrastinated in performing our duties at home, in school, in...

We were meant to be surrounded with cool gadgets that did all those jobs we hate to do, and life was going to be about sitting around watching grass grow, or realizing with a cocktail by the pool. Instead it’s become more and more frenetic. With every new device created to make our lives simpler, the pace speeds up. Take away ten hours a week to hand wash all our clothes, replacing it with an hour tops to use a washing machine and dryer? We get some other work on our hands. Get a cool new gadget that let’s you surf the net anywhere? Suddenly people want us to call them at all hours of the night and day, and our off time seems to disappear into a huge abyss. Of course we all have the same amount of time in the day. But some people struggle to get even the simplest of tasks completed while others can work a weeks worth of jobs into one single day. Time can be our worst enemy or our closest friend.
