    A New Trend In Film Advertising
    What do the films Next, Wild Hogs, 28 weeks later, The hills have eyes 2 and many more have in common? Well, one surprising similarity is that the film distributors of all these films opted to advertise in restrooms!The washroom advertising blog was the first to pick up on this trend that started in Britain around December 2006. A modest start it was, with a highly acclaimed low budget film “Notes on a scandal” being advertised in restrooms. It must have worked well for Fox searchlight, since they advertised other films there in rapid concession and recently also showcase high profile films in restrooms. Other production houses and distributors followed suit, and as a result, if you have a pint in Britain, and you wonder in the restroom of a pub, you are very likely to find posters informing you of the films currently in a cinema near you. You might be greeted by a talking poster that briefly explains the plot of the film. You might be seeing a life sized Daniel Craig and Eva Green sitting on the floor, only to realize that you’ve been fooled by life size replicas stuck to the wall. The medium has indeed inspired a great deal of creativity.So why is it that in the last 6 months this medium has attracted so much attention from the film industry? Well, for one, it has a very small cost per thousand, and an impressive national reach. One restroom advertising campaign can reach 6.6 million young people in 2 weeks

    Four Questions About Leadership
    I hear four questions asked about leadership often. This article gives a short answer to each of these important questions.Why Does Leadership Matter?Parents universally hope that their children develop leadership qualities. They know that leaders are people who are effective in what they do, are respected by others, and typically rewarded for those skills in a variety of ways. It is in these formative years that, through our parents, we first see leadership as desirable and important.As young people we look up to people around us that motivate and listen to us; people that seem like “real-life” heroes. We consider these people leaders.As we grow we begin to relate leaders to their jobs – ministers, teachers, police officers. And later Mayors, Presidents, and CEO’s . . .As adults all of these thoughts and experiences define why we think leaders have desirable traits and play roles we admire (and why we desire these things for our children).All of these experiences and thoughts help us define why leadership matters – it matters because leaders make a difference and can shape the future. It matters because leaders are valued and valuable. In everyone’s mind leadership, especially when it is good, matters.What is a Leader?A leader is a person who sees something that needs to be done, knows that they can help make it happen, and gets started.A leader sees opportunity and captures it.A leader sees a future that can be different and better, and helps others see that picture too.A leader knows they can’t do it alone.A leader is
    How Can HUD-1 Help You Generate Business?
    -----------------------------------------

    HUD-1 is a standard form you use very often. The form serves not just as a settlement closing statement, but also as a proof of payment of different tax deductions. Understanding the form and the tax deductible items and communicating them to your clients will help your clients to minimize their taxes and help you to build trust and get more business exposure.

    What is the HUD-1
    -----------------

    HUD-1 is a form used by the settlement agent (closing agent) to itemize all incoming funds and all charges paid and accrued by a borrower and seller for a real estate transaction. When is the HUD-1 Issued?

    The Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) requires that the form be issued in all real estate transactions in the United States which involve federally related mortgage loans. RESPA states you should be given a copy of the HUD-1 at least one day prior to settlement.

    When Do Clients Need HUD-1 For Taxes?
    -------------------------------------

    Clients use the information included in the form when they file their annual taxes. The filing deadline is normally April 15 of every year for the proceeding year. To allow the client enough time to file taxes using the HUD-1 information, it is recommended that a copy of the HUD-1 will be sent to the client in January.

    Because the real estate transaction takes place during the year, usually long before filing the tax return, the HUD-1 given to the client at closing time could be lost or misplace. Sending the client a copy of the HUD-1 with a cover letter will be very helpful and time savings to the client.

    The following is a sample letter you can use to send your clients:

    Marketing Your Ideas To Businesses
    Whether you work for a Fortune 100 Corporation or you are a one-person consulting person working from home, you have three main ways of marketing yourself or your company whenever you speak.1. Credentials/position/title2. Topic/subject matter/process3. Results you get for peopleAll three are important; they make up three important legs of a stool. But the problem I see with most speakers is that they spend a disproportionate amount of time on credentials and topic/process and very little time on results. Audiences, whether they are investors, voters or customers, tend to care primarily about results.For example, if I am the Attorney General of North Dakota and I tell voters that they “should vote for me because I was re-elected by 89% of the voters last time and was voted top Attorney General of the nation for 2006 by Governing Magazine,” then I’ve covered #1, credentials. If I then say, “And I re-wrote the entire criminal justice system of North Dakota and persuaded the legislature to pass it and the governor to sign it into law,” I’ve covered #2 the subject/process.But if I stop there, I won’t convince voters of anything. Why? Because I haven’t told them of the results of my actions. After all, it is possible to win an award and pass a law, and violent crime could have exploded by 1200%.I’ve got to make the final leg of the argument, “and that’s why violent crime is down 50% in our state and why you and your family are safer in your homes and your communities today.” Those are the only results voters are about.Even though my example is political, there is nothing abo
    es possible from our transaction. If your accountant has any questions, please have him or her call me (if you need a referral to an accounting you can trust, I’d be happy to provide you with one).

    I look forward to continuing as your realtor and providing you the highest level of service possible.

    Creative Job Choices - 5 Jobs to Consider When Job Hunting
    Creative people are often forced into a rut when it comes to their careers. They tend to take jobs that are stifling and routine, instead of jobs they can blossom in. They think only in terms of finding a job that can support them instead of finding a job that does more than put food on the table and clothes on the back.It doesn't have to be like that. Creative people can find careers that will pay them to be, well, creative. They just need to think of it in a creative manner.Florist - Do you love putting different flowers together to make a beautiful arrangements? Why not work in a flower shop? Creating floral arrangement takes a creative eye and mind. It can be a rewarding job for someone who loves to be around pretty things all day. But remember, a florist can work long hours, usually above and beyond the normal 8 hour days. They work holidays and weekends to keep their customers happy. And a good florist can build a client's list that will keep them busy for years to come.Photographer - Do you live behind a camera's viewfinder? Taking pictures, whether portrait or artistic, can be a wonderfully creative job for someone like you. Finding the perfect shot can be rewarding and there are many outlets for getting your work published. Why not become a photographer who takes pictures of families in the privacy of their home? Or maybe a photographer who takes pictures of homes for real estate agents could be the career for you. Be creative and you'll find your place in this field.Landscaper - When you drive by a beautifully landscaped lawn do you think to yourself you could have

    Your First Million Is Closer Than You Think
    Reaching millionaire status used to seem like an incomparable task reserved only for the intellectually gifted or the insanely lucky. However, these days obtaining a million is becoming less and less of a feat. I was shocked by the number of millionaire's that actually exist in the U.S. today. It is estimated that over 2,770 new millionaire's are created per day (in the U.S. alone!). How insane is that? That number was almost impossible to believe until I found several sources that reported about the same estimate.It is also reported that the ways in which these people achieve millionaire status varies greatly. There is no direct connection between millionaire's and a particular industry. What does this mean to us?.... Well, actually quite a bit.WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO US?Firstly, the fact that so many people become millionaire's everyday let's us know that the feat is attainable. The question, however, is "what is stopping you from doing it?" Well, throughout my research of entrepreneurship, I have found one constant attribute among millionaire's that separates them from everybody else.It is their willingness to do what others won't do. Consider this: Investing, for example, is one of the more popular forms of gaining wealth. However, only the investors who take risks on "ground floor" opportunities reap the major benefits.Millionaire's are usually the people who either see an opportunity before it is a sure thing and take a risk on it or who labor tirelessly in pursuit of their goals. Which one are you?FOOD FOR THOUGHT If I was to pose the
