Taking Time to Organize Your Office Projects
I have a definite system to keep my workload organized. When I stray away from it, I tend to go into a mental malfunction with the simplest of projects. Here is a summary of the tools I use:• Planner or notebook• Outlook• Tickler file• Communicate with others in depth (if applies)• Office Procedures ManualStart with a planner that fits your needs. It doesn’t have to be expensive, but make sure it has room for notes. You may also use a spiral notebook or anything to take notes in. Put the date at the top of the page for easier referral. Always stick to one planner or one notebook. If you are looking for a note that you jotted down, you will have only one place to search!If you use Outlook, it’s a good idea to also have a planner/notebook for quick notes, etc. You can transfer the information to Outlook at the end of each day and mark off the notes.With your planner/Outloo

I Want to Speak to a Supervisor, Part 2
In my regular newsletter, I pointed out how companies should empower and support frontline staff to do what the supervisor ultimately does, without having to check with the supervisor each and every time.Many readers sent in follow-up questions and suggestions.***Question: ‘If we do give staff more power, how can we measure if it is properly utilized?’Ron’s reply:You should measure utilization of empowerment only by counting returning customer visits or resulting customer compliments. If your high-value customers come back, make new purchases or praise your service, then your staff empowerment policy is effective.However, if high-value customers do not praise and come back, or if only low-value customers are happy and returning, then you need to change your staff empowerment formula.Here’s a hint: Contact some of your high-value customers who did not return. Ask them why they did

How It All Began

YOU CAN MAKE ONE MILLION DOLLARS JUST BY READING THIS ARTICLE. Is that an attention grabber or what? Ads like this is how I ended up where I am today. Let me introduce myself. My name is Andrew, former real life worker but some day, future famous and infamous writer as well as internet billionaire. I am currently unemployed and fastly becoming unemployable. How did this happen, well, long story short I lost my job. In the scramble to reorder my life I decided to do something that I have been wanting to do all my life, be a writer. So that’s what I did. No one told me that just because I could write that I would get to write and get paid, at least not right away.

Not Stephen or a King

I worked really hard to write and find out everything I could about writing and in a few short months I landed a staff spot with Literafeelya Magazine, an online ezine. I also made some money with Associated Content and Letter Rep but it was never enough. Being the impatient person that I am, I decided to embark on a side career as an internet empire builder. Again, no one told me the hard hitting facts. While working on my writing, I began to learn everything that I could on how to start a profitable internet business. The mechanics were fairly easy after some trial and error but the application, well, let’s just say you can read it but nothing compares to real world experience. I found out what sells on the internet the most. Hold on to your pants, this is a big secret. What sells the most on the internet is information. Holy Cow! You mean to tell me that an information gathering, retrieval, and dispensing system actually has makes it possible for people to make money on just information alone. Well, yeah, but I couldn’t see the forest for the trees. During this time of learning, I was also and still am busy learning my #1 craft, writing. I learned a lot of things along the way but here are what I think are the most important.

You can NOT get something for nothing. No matter how many times you see this on the net with the aliases, program, plan, system, or secret, I repeat, YOU CAN NOT GET SOMETHING FOR NOTHING. You must work for what you earn. Tier schemes and multilevel marketing only works for the few on top and those few plan to stay on top. They do not want to share their piece of the pie no matter how much they tell you that they do. You don’t know everything. I thought that I really knew how to write and I thought that I really knew the internet. What I found out what exactly how much I really didn’t know and that what I did know was very little. Since coming to this revelation, I have made it a personal crusade to learn as much as I can about whatever it is that I do. Yet, there is always more to know, we can never know it all. NO PERSON IS AN ISLAND (politically correct statement). We all need help. We all work together whether we know it or not. When I realized this, things began to make more sense. I wasn’t getting where I wanted to get because I was doing it alone. I wrote to editors and I tried to start websites but many of the things I did failed. Why? Because I thought of myself as doing it alone and not as part of a team, so I didn’t treat anything like a team effort. Everything takes time. This is self explanatory, to me. If it isn’t to you than I can not explain it, you (your self) have to explain for you.

What's the Secret Code?
As a youngster I loved reading spy / adventure novels. They were always exciting and adventuresome. In most of them there was a “secret code,” used to communicate without fear of “the other side” being able to decipher communications and understand what was transpiring.I have observed that, in many businesses, a “Code of Conduct” is also a “secret code.” When I hear a businessperson say, “They should know that’s not the way we do things here” I ask whether they have a written policy regarding that issue. I might as well ask if they have a process for creating gold from water so I guess that the way they want their company to perform is a secret. Few small and mid-size companies have defined professional and performance standards for the company and its staff. Yet all employees need (some even seek) standards that define boundaries and ethics. If a “Code” is a secret and not defined, employees will individually set

5 Ways To Qualify For a Lower Interest Rate On Your Home Equity Loan
If you have a home equity loan and are concerned with the rising interest rates, then there are several steps you can take in order to lower the interest rate.Step #1 Refinance and Consolidate Your LoansAn affordable option may be to refinance your primary mortgage and home equity loan. By refinancing both loans you will then be able to consolidate them and have only one monthly payment. When you combine both loans, you are then able to qualify for a lower interest rate, since now you have only one mortgage. It may be in your best interest to look into a fixed interest rate, which will allow you one set monthly payment that will not fluctuate with the interest rates.Step #2 Convert to a Second MortgageSome home equity loans will allow you to convert your equity loan into a second mortgage. However, once you convert the equity loan to a second mortgage you will not be able to borrow ag

Pain Killers May Kill Benefits of HRT's
Certain non-steroidal anti-inflammatory painkillers have been found to reduce the effectiveness that a woman’s heart receives from hormone replacement therapy.The studies author however, encourages women to stay on their regular medication regime until findings are more confirmed.The senior author Dr. Garret A. FitzGerald, a professor of medicine and pharmacology at the University of Pennsylvania Institute for Translational Medicine and Therapeutics said, “This isn't a message that women who happen to be taking hormone replacement therapy and NSAIDs [nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs] are headed for disaster. This shouldn't be a basis for clinical judgment but a stimulus for people to actually do research and address the question more comprehensively.”The study which touches on two very of the more controversial topics in medicine, is to be published in this weeks journal of PLoS Medicine.

TV Reporter Shares the Secrets to Getting Covered on the News
Do you have a great idea for a story, but no clue how to get it in the news? Are you tired of pitching press releases the news media simply ignores?After twenty years of beating the street as a TV reporter, I have a scoop for you: the media needs good stories. But most stories are pitched so poorly, they are lost in the blizzard of faxes that blanket every newsroom.So, here are five steps to increase your chances of getting covered that even some PR pros don't know:1) BE UNUSUALThe old adage about "Man bites dog" still holds true. The news doesn't cover what's normal. We cover the abnormal.PR whiz Carolyn Alvey knew this when she was trying to raise money for a charity several years ago. Instead of holding a garage sale, she sent out a press release announcing a "Celebrity Garage Sale." Everything from Bob Hope's old golf clubs to Roger Staubach's long-neglected neckties were for sale. By maki

During my learning curve with my writing I have started to make some headway. Also with my internet aspirations, I am slowly coming along. I know I have the potential to do both of these things well and in fact I have, but not with the success I had in mind when I first started. I keep waiting for my doorway of opportunity to magically open but truly, I have to create the doorway in the first place. My Great American Novel is just waiting to be finished and my Internet business is sitting in the data stream biding its time until it can take over the entire web. Seriously though, I have had a lot of ups and downs on my journey but it is a journey that I would take again to learn what I have learned. Now, I was and am still faced with the bothersome problem of making some money to support myself and my family. Darn it, pesky money! As far as my writing career is concerned, things are picking up. Internetly speaking, I just started. I have had a few sites up and down and one still waiting to be finished, and then I realized something huge. In order to succeed, you have to have patience. You have to stick with a thing until it tells you that it is done. So that’s exactly what I set out to do.

Big Dreams Start Off Small

About a week ago, I started a blog on Blogger. I told myself to take it easy and still ended up with four blogs, all interconnected. Now I know that a lot of people have more than one blog but I was just trying to get my feet wet and keep them that way. I am happy to say though that the major work on these blogs is mostly done. I am happy with how they look and hopefully they will only get better. So what's the problem? Well after dealing with all the set up, content, links, monetizing, SEO, ad infinitum, I have one problem, I don’t know if it really is right. The people close to me like what I have done but they are close to me and very few. So...I decided to write this article and put the question out there, on the net while following the rules of what I have learned as outlined above.

You can NOT get something for nothing. I have free links and ebooks on my blog that are available to any one who takes a look see, and gives me their honest opinion. Other than that, I can offer a hearty Thank You., You must work for what you earn. I intend to take all the criticism I get and use it, no matter how trivial or how huge. You don’t know everything. I need people to tell me what I am missing because if I don’t know its missing how will I know? Duh! NO PERSON IS AN ISLAND. So many people can be reached via the net that it would be negligent of me not to cry out for help. Some will help and some won’t. I’ll be thankful to both groups. The few who want to help, really want to help and the many who don’t would probably give me bad advice anyway. Everything takes time. I am dedicated to the long haul with what I have created. It will be profitable, even if I don’t make any money. “Experience like this can not be bought and preparation can not be taught.” Quote from me.

What’s The Deal?

Help me and I will help you in any way I can, like joining your list or subscribing to your newsletter. Email me and give me your insight or fill out the newsletter form (no newsletter yet) at the bottom of each blog, the links to which are located in the Navigation areas on the right sidebar.

Also, If you have articles or products you would like to put on my site, I will do that for you. You can include HTML, Links, Images, whatever and I will put it on as best as I can without changing a thing. All submissions must fit my site. After I am done with everything, I will write another article or report to help those who helped me, and other people trying to survive on the net and send it out free of charge. At the least, tell me

What motivates most people to seek telecommuting is the need for a balance between work and play. Ironically, it's often this desire for balance that leads people to the realization that telecommuting is not for them.
