    Online Income: Separating Fact from Fiction
    We have all had the same, wonderful dream. To get up when you want, work in your pajamas while drinking your daily cup of java, take your family on lavish vacations, and play with the kids when you want to all while earning more money than you can possibly imagine. Oh, it sounds wonderful. And, I am sure that you have probably even gone as far as to check out some of the ads online about home business opportunities that promise incredible profits, all without you lifting a finger.Most companies who are in the business of marketing home

    Telecommuting Job Idea: General Transcriptionist
    A general transcriptionist is not the same as a medical or legal transcriptionist. Those two fields are more specialized, but require similar skills. Many of the positions are full-time or part-time, instead of freelance work. But, there are many employers who like the benefits of using freelance, or contract, workers.Where to find a job as a general transcriptionist: There are many on-line job sites that advertise for transcriptionists, some sites specialize in just transcription work. Some local companies may be willing to farm out some
    My good friend, Lenny Tumbarello, www.WeTooCanDo.com, gave me the idea for this article. It seems an associate of his sort of criticized him for working “IN” his business. He wanted Lenny to work “ON” his business. This fellow felt Lenny might be spending too much time doing things that could have been “outsourced” for a small cost - thereby freeing Lenny up to focus on the bigger picture, the stuff that would make his business bigger.

    I am very familiar with this concept. And I think it’s a valid thought process to go through. But you know, I think it’s often misapplied and overrated!

    In fact I think it may be a big part of what has allowed third world countries to grab a big piece of our economic engine - so big a piece, for so long a time that I worry how and if we are going to get it back.

    I know Lenny. He made his success in the fast food business - he owned a few stores in Texas. He learned early on that the best way to teach a person how to clean the bathrooms - among other things - was to clean one with the new guy observing and then watch as that fellow cleaned the other one. Lenny did this with each new employee and when he saw an attitude that indicted the new guy didn’t respect the importance of cleaning the bathroom right - Lenny fired him. Right then.

    Why Cookie Dough Fundraising Events Are Popular
    There is nothing like the taste of a fresh cookie in your mouth as it melts into nothing. This is why frozen cookie dough fundraising events have become so popular as our lives get busier.A cookie dough fundraising event usually consists of an organization selling the product through brochures and is often packaged in reusable containers and will be provided in several different varieties of flavors. What you then do is take the brochures to your customers (friends and family etc.) and then take their orders and collect their payments fo

    How Many Secretaries Does It Take To Change A Light Bulb?
    I’ll admit it up front. I was a lousy secretary. It wasn’t for the lack of trying. It was just because it was a bad fit for me, but it took me years of being a secretary to convince myself.Other secretaries in my department could organize circles around me. They could manage a 55-line telephone with one hand, word-process a memo with the other, and do the filing with their feet. They didn’t freak out when their boss dumped a three-day project on their desk with orders to have it ready in an hour. They knew when everyone’s birthdays w

    And I agree. I spent six months learning how to work on boats and motors at a marine service shop when I was considering becoming a boat dealer.

    When I was COO of a precision parts manufacturing business that made parts for the auto industry, I spent a lot of time in the Detroit area and I learned a lot about the Big Three and the major OEMs. I thought a great deal about the often-expressed criticism that the companies were no longer being run by “car” guys; that they were being run by financial types.

    I agreed.

    Yes, top management had become more focused on quarterly earnings than the quality and market acceptance of the products. But I missed the point that management was working “ON” the business; nobody in the executive tower was working “IN” the business. Revenues and profits went up (for awhile) as the companies became financing giants and diversified into many non-related businesses but the contributions to both went down from the production of cars and tr
