Are You Getting The Best Out Of Your Staff?

If I asked you what one thing usually comes out top when employees are asked what is most important to them in a job, what do you think it would be? Money? Seniority? Health benefits? Company Car? Working hours?

Well the answer is none of the above. The thing that comes out number one time and time again is staff needing to feel like they are wanted and that they are making a difference in their role. Wow! Who would have thought of that? Something so basic as feeling wanted and needed.

So this begs the question, how many companies use this as a motivational tool to get the best out of their workforce? Well I have to admit that I have absolutely no idea on the answer to that question but I can take a guess using my own anecdotal evidence. Not many. I certainly have never worked for a company that thought anything other than large bonuses or large foots planted up the rear end of under-performing staff could get the best out of people. On top of that, I have never worked with a company in a coaching role that looked outside the bonus or boot box or even have any friends that have regaled me with fascinating stories of senior management concerned about their wellbeing and sense of belonging. Now let me say at this stage I realize that I am being flippant and that of course there will in actuality be some well managed, thoughtful organizations that have blissfully happy and content workers going about a job that they feel is important and meaningful, but I think they are few and far between.

Whereas this apparent lack of common sense worries me somewhat it also gives me hope for smaller businesses that want to compete with the big guys. Depending on what line of business you are in staff hiring and firing will be one of your biggest expenditures. A company I worked for a few years ago estimated that each member of the sales staff cost them over $20k to recruit, kit out and train! This was a company that had a lot of sales people and seemed to be going through an ever-increasing rate of churn as old dispirited, worn out staff left and new people came in. So what did the company do to stop the hemorrhaging? They offered bigger bonuses, put more employees under the cosh of directives, generally ‘tightened things up’ and of course ramped up workloads. Did they try and make staff feel wanted and needed? Did they demonstrate this by lowering quotas or workload? Did they ask staff what they could do to stem the tide of people leaving? No of course not, they simply used the same tired old tactics that have always ‘worked’ in the past and that’s just the way it is. Except they didn’t work this time and staff retention dropped instead of rising back up as expected.

So I am encouraged, encouraged that smaller, leaner more forward thinking companies can use different tactics, that they can actually try to align with their employees and get the best out of them not because they are greedy for more money or frightened of losing their job but because they genuinely want to be involved in growing a business that not only wants to make money but also wants happy and productive personnel. So if they can go head to head with the traditional giants with a loyal workforce that isn’t constantly changing and is motivated by internal factors rather than external then I believe they can not only compete but beat the opposition soundly.

If you manage or have your own business, take this seriously. It’s easy to stick with the tried and trusted methods of motivation that may well have worked in eras of high unemployment and low employee expectations, but we need something a bit more radical now. It will take brave men and women in power to implement procedures that may take months to come to fruition and will be frowned on by many a stockholder in the process. For the ones that do it however, I am convinced the rewards will be great.

Why Are Some People Hooked On Flipping Real Estate? - For The Quick Profit Potential

The key word here being “quick”. The only way for investing in real estate for real quick profits is property flipping, or flipping real estate. It does take time and resources to find the right deal . The deals are out there though, foreclosures, seized properties etc being the best places to look, and the person who finds them is the one that will cash in. Few people have the time or resources to find truly under market priced property. Buyers all want a good deal, so you just have to find a “great” deal in which you can give the buyer a “good” deal and still make a nice profit for yourself for your smart work.

The other way is to get a great deal on a dump and fix it up and make your money that way but this is not quick, will require some work and is not what is being talked about here in flipping real estate..

Property flipping is just buying low and selling high. You need to find a property that is at least 20% below market value. You can easily, without ever taking possession of it just flip the contract to your qualified buyer that is looking for what you have found.

What we’re talking about here is reselling or flipping a contract and not the actual piece of property like a house or apartment building. By selling the contract you avoid all settlement expenses such as attorney fees and all the transfer costs that go along with it. This is the quickest way to profit when flipping real estate.

Two ways to flip a deal:

1. After settlement - more expensive

2. Assign the contract before settlement.

The second is the best and most profitable way because you’re not paying any fees that will be involved with the settlement.

You can increase your cash profits by assigning the contract properly. The easiest and most obvious way is to use “and/or assigns” after your own name in the contract. Another way is to prepare a separate addendum and include an assignment clause saying something like “Buyer reserves the right to assign their interest in this contract to any person or entity.” Either method will leave you free to assign the contract to whomever you want.

Fifteen or 20 years ago there weren’t as many people looking into foreclosed properties but over the last few years many realtors have used the term rather loosely. A true foreclosed property should be discounted much deeper than 5-10% of the fair market value. Anything above that just won’t have enough profit potential for flipping real estate.

Porcelain – a Modern Dental Miracle

Along with so much of modern life, dentistry has become high-tech. Lasers and computers have transformed the old dentistry that our grandparents knew.

Besides this, dentists have done a sterling job of educating the public, so that now most of us brush and floss regularly and go for our annual or biannual checkup and professional cleaning. This has greatly reduced our need for dental repair services and instead allows us to move forward into the area of cosmetic dentistry.

The beauty of porcelain

Light interacts with our tooth enamel in a certain way, such that our teeth look pearly and have an attractive sheen. How does this work? Tooth enamel is translucent, meaning that light can pass through it. Light rays landing on our teeth pass through the enamel to the layer below, called the dentin. Dentin is a dark yellow color, and the light bounces off it, reflecting back to create that shiny white appearance. Teeth are not a flat white, but have depth to them.

In the same way, porcelain looks pearly and matches our tooth enamel astoundingly well. Light passes through the porcelain, bounces back off the dental bonding which attaches the porcelain to the underlying tooth tissue, and the result is that same attractive sheen.

Porcelain is rather brittle by itself. But when it’s bonded to a tooth, it becomes part of that tooth, and is very strong and durable. It’s also highly stain-resistant, since it’s a glass-like substance.

Dental uses of porcelain

Cosmetic dentistry uses porcelain to enhance or repair our teeth in several ways.

1. Porcelain veneers – are thin shells which a cosmetic dentist will bond permanently to the front surface of a tooth. The porcelain is chosen to match the natural color of surrounding teeth. This is a fast and effective way of addressing such minor but annoying defects as:

· Small gaps – by making two neighboring veneers slightly wider than the existing teeth so that they meet, filling the gap

· Slight crookedness – by affixing a veneer that is slightly thicker where the tooth recedes, creating an even front surface

· Stains, spots or small cracks – by simply covering the tooth with a well-fitted veneer

· Slight misalignment – by creating a veneer or several veneers with varying thicknesses such that the teeth now line up evenly

2. Porcelain crowns – are modern improvements on the old metal crowns. A crown is a custom-made cover for a tooth which has become severely decayed and needs protection to survive. Crowns can be made from

· Gold

· Metal alloy

· All-porcelain, or

· A combination of metal and porcelain.

A metal and porcelain crown has the metal inside it as a lining and is strong without looking gray like metal. But over time, a black line develops at the gum line where the metal starts showing. An all-porcelain crown looks just like your natural teeth and is permanently bonded to the remaining tooth beneath it, strengthening that tooth and extending its life.

3. Porcelain inlays and onlays – which are types of fillings made of porcelain that matches your natural tooth color. Rather than being tightly packed into the cavity, as the old metal fillings were, the porcelain is bonded to the tooth, giving it great strength and durability.

· An inlay is a filling which fits within the cusps of the tooth

· An onlay is a new surface bonded to the tooth to correct irregularities like sharp edges, and it covers areas outside the cusps as well as inside them.

By using porcelain, a cosmetic dentist repairs your teeth and enhances their beauty at the same time.

“Cosmetic dentistry is both an art and a science,” remarked Dr. Abraham Katz, Herndon, VA cosmetic dentist, in a recent interview. “Good dental education can teach the science part, but the artistic part must come from experience. Porcelain is a superb material to work with, and when your cosmetic dentist knows how to pamper your teeth with it, the result is a very happy smile.”

Dr. Katz can be reached at 703.478.9574 and will be glad to give you a complimentary consultation.

Generating Traffic with a Newsletter

With affiliate programs, you can easily sell products without
even having to have the product in your hand. As nice as it
sounds, you still need to have you own website; it is a
requirement for many affiliate programs. Having a website is
ideal, but to really make money with affiliate programs, you
need to have a website that receives a relatively high amount of
traffic. If you would like to increase the amount of traffic
that your website sees, you should examine newsletters. They are
a great way to increase website traffic.

Before examining how newsletters can help you increase your
websites traffic, it is best that you first understand
newsletters. When it comes to understanding newsletters, there
tends to be a little bit of confusion. Newsletters come in a
number of different shapes, sizes, and styles; they are all used
for different purposes. Newsletters are essentially emails that
are sent to those who have requested to receive them. Some use
newsletters solely to update their customers and other uses them
just as means of regular communication. Despite a variation in
purposes, one the most common uses of a newsletter is to
increase traffic.

One of the most common questions asked, concerning email
newsletters is “why?” A large number of individuals, namely
affiliate program participants, wonder why they should even
bother writing and then distributing a newsletter. In all
honesty, there are an unlimited number of reasons why you should
write and distribute newsletters to those who are interested in
receiving them. The number one reason is because you can do it
as little or as often as you want. Many webmasters only send
out newsletters as often as their time allows them to do so. It
is also important to note that your newsletter content can be
whatever you want it to be. In fact, you may even want to think
about tying in your affiliate program or the products that you
are selling.

In conjunction with an affiliate program or an affiliate product
tie in, you can not only use newsletters to increase your
website traffic, but also to promote your affiliate products;
products that you are responsible to help sell. You can do this
by writing a quick review or recommendation of the products or
products that you are helping to sell. If you haven’t tried the
product yourself, you may want to try and find other internet
users who have. Most of the time, you will find that many
internet users are more than willing to write a quick review,
just for the sake of helping others.

If you are an article writer or if you enjoy writing, you may
want to write your own newsletters. If you are not an article
writer or if you are, but you just don’t have the time to
produce you own newsletters, you don’t have to. There are a
number of alternatives for you to choose from. One of the
easiest alternatives is to pay a professional to write your
newsletter for you. If you are looking for a free way to make a
newsletter, you are urged to examine article directories. Many
article directories give out free usage rights for their
articles. This means that you can easily find newsletter
content, that you didn’t write, without having to spend a dime!
When using article directories, it is advised that you use
articles that are, in one way or another, related to your
website or the affiliate products that you are helping to sell.

As you can see, there are a number of reasons why you should at
least think about writing and disturbing a newsletter. In
addition to those reasons, there are also an unlimited number of
benefits to using newsletters to your advantage. Whether you
make the decision to write your own newsletters, hire a
professional, or use free content from article directories, you
are urged to give newsletters a chance. In the end, you might
be surprised just how effective they are.

How Boron Can Help You Relieve Arthritis Pain

Boron is a mineral; it is the naturally occurring fifth metalloid element. It is considered to be a poison even though it is essential for plant growth and more recently it has been suggested that it is also essential for humans as well. We get our daily boron intake from consuming plants, fruits and vegetables.

Boron has never been viewed as an essential mineral required by our body. Although traces of it can always be found in our body, it was viewed simply as a mineral that existed in plants that we consume and tolerate and is permitted to pass naturally through the body with no significant effect.

However in the early 1980s Dr Rex an Australian arthritis sufferer began to investigate the importance of boron in our diets and whether there was a link between boron and arthritis. His researched spanned over a decade. He travelled the world and studied how different levels of boron in the soil could affect arthritis. He observed various populations around the world.

He hypothesised that areas where the soil was rich in boron arthritis would be minimal and vice versa.

While visiting Africa he noticed that Africans who ate maize grown from boron rich soil only had 3% arthritis in their population. However when they moved to the big cities and began to eat processed commercially grown maize, arthritis levels rose to 20%. The question was why this was happening. Their diet had not dramatically changed, so what was causing the higher levels of arthritis. With further investigation he came to realise that the foods that they had been consuming in the cities was commercially grown. Fertilizers had been used to grow the crops. The soil had not been given the chance to replenish the natural minerals. The fertilizers forced the plants to grow big and lush but did not provide it with the natural minerals that were found naturally in the soil. For example a native maize plant would only produce approximately 1kg of grain compared to 10kg of grain produced by the a well fertilized hybrid maze plant. However the 1kg of native maize had the same amount of natural minerals including boron as the 10kg of commercially grown hybrid maize. It was like scrapping a tiny bit of butter over a lot of bread. There was more quantity but lacked the quality.

Also, in the far north-west of Australia and parts of New Zealand in areas such as the Carnarvon, that is well known for being a place for elderly people to visit to relieve their arthritis. Dr Rex employed a number of school leavers to carry out a survey. The survey found that arthritis was almost unheard of within the local population. They had an amazing 1% population suffering arthritis compared to 20% around most other towns. Dr Rex investigated further and found that it was not the climate that was having the arthritis relieving affect but the geo-thermal waters. The Geo-thermal water was naturally bringing an abundance of minerals including boron to the surface where plants and crops were grown. As a result the foods contained higher levels of boron and so protected the local population that consumed the plants from arthritis.

Further to Dr Rex’s findings the Royal Melbourne Hospital carried out a study as well. They conducted a double-blind trial. One of the groups was treated with boron supplements and the other was given a placebo. The results showed that 70% of those who completed the trial felt much better from taking boron supplements compared to only 12% feeling better from taking a placebo.

The U.S. Human Nutrition Research Centre in North Dakota’ investigated how exactly boron could be helping to relieve and cure arthritis. They found that boron worked by helping a gland called the parathyroid that controls the mineralization of bones.

Dr Rex’s research concluded that a lack of the boron mineral can have significant effects on the maintenance of healthy bones. His research suggested that there was an important relationship between Boron and vitamin D. Boron was found to be essential in the activation of Vitamin D, which controls the absorption and utilization of calcium in the body.

He also noticed that arthritis sufferers consuming higher levels of Boron showed significantly reduced levels of calcium and magnesium passing through their urine. It was becoming clear that Boron was helping the body to conserve the magnesium and calcium. Providing the body with a much better chance of utilizing these minerals in maintaining bone and cartilage amongst other things, so preventing bone demineralization and arthritis.

Now I can’t say that I have ever used boron myself to help cure arthritis, for this reason it’s not something I would personally recommend. However for those of you who have already tried other remedies but to no avail. Increasing boron intake may be an option. Although Dr Rex has carried some research, compared to other remedies and ailments there has been very little and so arguably not all the possible side effects are known.

Although Dr Rex didn’t report any adverse side effects in his studies and surveys. I would still contact a doctor or nutritionist before beginning any treatment. They will be able to provide you with up to date information concerning medical research on boron and also monitor your progress and any side effects that the treatment may have.

Whether Boron really does work or not, I just don’t know, but, the reasoning behind his research is sound. Give the body the nutrients that it requires and it will heal itself.

Educating Your Pet Store Customers

Making your customers smarter will help them and your store. Educated customers are more likely to make a purchase in your pet store. Yes, a few customers may pick your brains and then make purchases with the competition. However, in the long-term you will pick up many more new customers leading to a more profitable pet store. Educated customers are more likely to buy extra accessories for their favorite pet.

By talking to your customers, using tip sheets and informational demonstrations will increased the knowledge of your customers. This knowledge will help the customer make better purchases for their pet leading to a higher satisfaction for your pet store.

Having a lack of knowledge can hurt sales. For example, I was shopping a store and visited the pet section. I was laughing hard after looking at a sign on a lizard cage. At first glance, it appeared to call it a “Dork Lizard”. After further review, it was called a “Dark Lizard”. Actually, it was a “Fence Swift”, but there was no one around for me to let them know. I would not ask advice of anything in this pet section since I saw the lack of information with the lizard. Their credibility is gone and would be hard to ever regain. Information they give might kill your new pet.

Educating customers makes you an authority and is a soft sell. Many people don’t want a hard sell and will avoid those places of business. Giving valuable information builds a relationship and trust in a non threatening way.

Hopefully, you can see the value of educating customers and how it will affect your business long-term. It is a way to make your pet store stand out from your competition.

The Top 5 Mistakes Mortgage Originators Make With Realtors

The top 5 preventable mistakes mortgage originators make are the 5 biggest reasons why realtors resist referring you to their clients. They are the reason why some realtors will just wash their hands clean and say "Forget it! I’ll just leave the financing up to my clients." Find out what these top 5 reasons are and how to fix them.

1 — Lack of Good and Frequent Communication

Not providing frequent (even daily) updates to your clients and the realtor throughout the entire loan process can cause undue stress and frustration.

Solution: Create a strong guarantee that promises frequent updates throughout the loan process. You might even consider giving up a portion of your commission if you don’t provide adequate communication. Then engineer your business to ensure you over-deliver.

2 — Last Minute Changes at the Closing Table

Realtors hate it when the mortgage broker throws curve balls at their client at the last minute. Some examples might included…

  • More documentation needed
  • Terms of the loan changes
  • Rate changes

You get the picture.

Solution: Create a strong guarantee that delineates precisely what you will do to prevent these last minute changes from occurring. Then engineer your business to fulfill on that promise.

3 — Late Closings

Simply put… realtors hate delays on their pay cheques, not to mention the added stress and frustration that can come as a result of deadlines not being met. Sometimes the deal can even fall through because of a late closing. Even innocent mistakes committed by the mortgage originator can cause a domino effect that ultimately results in late closings.

Solution: Create a strong guarantee that explains what you will do (in your power) to prevent late closings from occurring. Then engineer your business to fulfill on that promise.

4 — Repeatedly Asking for More Documentation

A surefire way to torque off your clients and your realtors is to keep coming back over and over again asking for more and more documentation. Not only is it time consuming for you, but it sends a message to your clients and realtors that you are not a true professional.

Solution: Create a strong guarantee that explains how you will provide a comprehensive checklist to your clients - upfront - that explains all of the documentation you require. Make a policy that ensures you get all of the critical information you need before you submit the application.

And last but not least…

5 — Interest Rates Changing at the Last Minute

When you set an expectation for a certain interest rate the client will expect you to follow through on that promise. When that promise is not fulfilled, it looks poorly on you but it also reflects poorly on the realtor who referred you. Realtors hate that!

Solution: Create a yet another strong guarantee that explains precisely what you will do to prevent these last minute rate changes from occurring. And you know the rest… engineer your business to fulfill on that promise.

Conclusion

These 5 preventable mistakes are the 5 biggest reasons why realtors resist referring you to their clients. They are the reason why some realtors will just wash their hands clean and say "Forget it! I’ll just leave the financing up to my clients." Have you ever heard that?

By creating and honoring strong performance guarantees that address each one of these issues, you prove to your clients and your realtors that you are a true , mortgage professional. You are rising above the crowd and committing to excellence. Now is the time to make it happen!

    Use a Cosmetic Organizer to Save Time and Money

    If you are a model you undoubtedly wear cosmetics. At this very moment you may have them lying all around your bathroom. I know most models do, And, many times the ever-disappearing touching-up essentials end up on your windowsill.

    The heartbreak of the “window sill” makeup holder
     
    This is very disheartening because every time someone opens the window, or when someone pulls the blind all that valuable makeup falls to the floor.
     
    Young women everywhere are becoming more and more frustrated by the lack of organization here.

    Keeping all your cosmetics hidden away in a makeup bag is not convenient. What do you do? One answer is to think about getting cosmetic organizers to keep all your beauty products together.
     
    One challenge many young women have had with cosmetic organizers in the past is that they seldom use them after they are purchased. She buys the organizer, carefully places all her makeup in the determined spots, but there is always something about it that causes it to be unusable.
     
    Either the newly purchased organizer doesn’t fit anywhere in a small bathroom, or it is just plain inconvenient.
     
    Where to find organizers for beauty products
     
    If you are looking for cosmetic organizers, you can find them almost any department store where you can buy makeup. You will find all shapes, sizes and colors. Some makeup holders will be big and bulky while others will be more compact.
     
    What you need to do before investing in a makeup holder
     
    First, decide how much space you have available and how much makeup you desire when you fix your face. Cosmetic organizers are purchasable for a young female model who wears very light makeup, and for the woman who really likes to look made-up before going out.
     
    The organizer should compliment - Not take away from the beauty of your home
     
    As stated before, there are many styles and shapes of makeup organizers so it is very possible to find one to match the color scheme of your bathroom or bedroom. Shop carefully so that your organizer is not highly noticeable when you have visitors. It should compliment your home.

    Some other cosmetic organizer options
     
    You can also locate cosmetic organizers similar to a small tote box. These small boxes are very unobtrusive, though you may find it irritating to keep up with. If I were a fisherman I would call it a tackle box, and I have to admit, it does look like you might take it to the lake by mistake. Do fish wear makeup?
     
    One benefit for this type of cosmetic organizer is that it would come in handy for a young woman who travels frequently on model assignments, but may not be very practical to use in your bathroom everyday.
     
    Many women who buy the “tote box” type of makeup organizers sometimes wind up using it to carry something other than their cosmetics. So remember, nothing is worth buying if you are not going to use it and that includes cosmetic organizers!
