With the stresses of work, family schedules, finances and kids, most couples need the occasional break - a romantic retreat to rekindle their romance, invigorate their relationship and give them time to simply relax. If you\’re looking for the perfect romantic getaway that combines worry-free planning, all-inclusive budgeting and romantic sparkle, cruise travel is a great option.

To learn about how to book the best romantic cruise for you and your loved one, keep reading for great tips on everything from what to look for in a cruise ship to how to get the best deals for your spouse.

Opt For a Cruise with an Age Limit

The last thing you want on your romantic getaway is to be surrounded by toddlers on their way to a puppet show at the children\’s pool. So, book a cruise with an enforced age limit.

Most cruise lines offer cruises that restrict boarding to both individuals 25 and older or married individuals 21 and older. The bulk of these cruises are specifically targeted toward couples and will offer amenities like increased room service, couples\’ massages, formal dining and couples\’ activities.

If you\’re unable to find a cruise with an age limit that\’s right for you, most ships offer areas, including pools that are adults-only.

Stay Away From “Singles” Cruises

In contrast to couples\’ cruises, some cruise lines offer cruise vacations that are specifically for single travelers or the \’spring break\’ party crowd. Unless you want to spend your romantic getaway immersed in loud dance music and terrible pick up lines, you\’re going to want to stay away from these options.

Pick a Boat Size That Works For You

A larger boat may have more passengers and a less intimate “feel,” but it also allows for greater anonymity while on-board ship and a larger range of facilities. When choosing a ship, think about what\’s important for you in terms of privacy and boat size.

Get the Balcony

As tempting as it may be to book an inside cabin for a discount, know that the space is small and often windowless. If this cruise is a once-in-a-lifetime romantic treat, it\’s time to splurge and opt for a cabin with a romantic balcony. When you\’re watching the stars go by from bed, you\’ll be thankful.

How to Get Great Couples\’ Deals

Booking as a couple gives you an advantage. You can often look for “companion” rates that apply to either cabin bookings or air fare to your port. Many cruise lines and some air carriers offer a companion discount for couples traveling together.

To make sure you hair always looks its best here are some no nonsense care tips which apply equally to men and women:

Avoid using the wrong hair shampoo. To do this you need to know your hair type. For example is it oily, dry, curly, or straight? If you are not sure then ask your hairdresser on your next visit. If you cannot afford salon prices then buy the beat quality shampoo you can. It is a false economy to buy cheap when it comes to buying hair care products.

To avoid long term damage minimise the use of strong chemicals to straighten or curl your hair. Whether your hair is thin, wavy or straight accept it forwhat it is. Instead of trying to restructure your hair type look at different hairstyles and cuts to compliment your hair type.

Make sure you chose the right conditioner to compliment the type of shampoo you are using. It is essential that you apply the conditioner from root to tip.This can be achieved easily by combing the conditioner through the hair to ensure an even distribution.

Dry your hair gently and avoid rubbing. Use gentle patting initially before applying a warm hair dryer. Make sure you avoid over drying your hair at all costs to ensure you do not undo all that good work you have just put in with shampooing and conditioning.

If you are going to put your hair in a braid or ponytail then to avoid damage make sure you do not use any plain rubber band. Always use a specially treated rubber hair band designed especially for hair.To avoid breakage and loss never sleep with your hair in a ponytail or in tight braid. If you have young children make sure you have untied their hair and given it a thorough brushing before sending them to bed.

Never leave it to the last minute to try out a new hairstyle such as a braid or updo. Practice makes perfect. So to avoid disappointment when that special occasion arrives make sure you have practiced several times.

Sometimes we get so preoccupied with marketing and sales activities and all the associated details that we forget the original strategic objectives.

The basic objective, of course, is to generate and grow sales revenue. But to have sales you need customers. And to have sustained, profitable and growing sales, the best strategy is to develop loyal, long-term customer relationships.

So the marketing, sales and customer service activities should all be aligned to deliver a customer experience with you, your company and your brand that evolves from a first time buyer to a loyal, long-term customer.

The customer experience typically evolves through four levels:

1. Satisfaction with price and availability

On the first exposure to you and your business, customers will quickly, maybe even subconsciously, compare price and availability to their expectations based on prior experience with your competition. There will likely be no sale, and maybe no second chance, if this minimum expectation is not met.

2. Recognition of superior service levels

The first point of differentiation and the first step to building a stronger customer relationship will be when the customer recognizes that you offer superior service. You can demonstrate it in many ways - faster response to inquiries, easier access, more stock, better prices or terms, better delivery, better warranty service and support.

3. Appreciation of the value of your knowledge and experience

After the basic needs of price and availability are met and you have distinguished yourself with superior service, the customer experience should then lead to an appreciation of the added value of your knowledge and experience. This will be demonstrated by applying your product knowledge, training, education and experience to educate the customer and give him/her the confidence to make better purchasing decisions. Now you are building a valuable customer relationship.

4. Connection on values, mission and vision

The final step in cementing loyal, long-term relationships will occur when the customer recognizes a common sense of values, mission and vision in the way you both do business. This connection will be developed over several interactions, particularly when problems are solved together, or you meet on non-business related issues.

The sooner you can meet customer expectations at these four levels, the faster you will build lasting and loyal customer relationships.

Whoo hoo, your sales are growing and now you\’re wondering if it\’s time to develop a physical presence in the marketplace. Most service professionals come to this cross-roads and take the next step without carefully considering the impact and the underlying concerns.

Many service professionals like insurance agents and financial advisors are encouraged to get an office as soon as possible. Before you make that decision and take that step just make sure you\’re doing it for the reasons that will serve you, and your needs. Don\’t do it thinking it makes you look more successful to someone else, because that appearance of success can be just that, appearance only.

As you think about adding employees, creating infrastructure, establishing overhead costs, selecting a fixed location, and furnishing that location you need to consider the long-term impact of all those decisions. The three things you really need to watch are: rising fixed costs that raise the bar on your break-even point each month, your ability to focus on what you need to be focused on with all these additional responsibilities, and the impact on your net income with all these additional expenses. While challenging yourself to stretch is a good thing you don\’t want a one ton rock around your neck either.

Before you take that step think options and flexibility. There are lots of million dollar businesses that successfully operate each day throughout the United States from home based offices. It\’s true you may need other people to do things that you\’re doing now that are taking time away from what you need to do, sell. And there are entire businesses that do just that. You can outsource work to virtual assistants, you can get expert help through online service providers that can be found on websites like elance.com, and you can get the work done on a per job or flat rate basis. Meaning that you aren\’t tied to a payroll and you don\’t have to increase your sales each and every month just to pay the staff. One of the biggest surprises most businesses owners have is the fact that adding employees reduces your flexibility more than it enhances it. Because when you have employees you have to manage those employees.

One of the most important considerations for you is the lifestyle you\’re trying to achieve. Did you want to buy yourself a job where you have to show up to a specific location each day, manage other people, set policy and develop procedures, and all the other things that come with a physical presence? Or did you want the flexibility and freedom that comes from having a home based office with zero employees so you could work from anywhere in the world anytime it fits your schedule? Make sure your decision for a physical presence now is in alignment with the lifestyle you want to have not the one you think you have to have. If that means continuing from a home based office then explore your outsourcing options to get what you need done so you can do the things that are important to you and your success. If it means taking that step and getting a physical presence make sure you can comfortably handle the impact of that decision on your fixed costs, focus, and net income before you lock yourself into anything.

Spring is just around the corner here in the northeast, and as the snow dwindles down, it is time to go hunting. For antler sheds that is. Here is just a small sample that I pulled from a Google search.

Antler Chandeliers on sale

Whitetail Antler Chandeliers starting at $339.99. Click Picture to View. Whitetail. Click Picture to View. Whitetail. Click Picture to View …

Did you notice starting at $399.00. I have seen them in shops in Telluride Colorado, as high as $3500.00. So as you can see it is a great little hobby to get into, if you are good at using your hands and imagination.

Here in the northeast hunting for antler sheds can be quite a task. Snow plays a big factor in finding sheds. However, as the snow receeds in the spring, antlers begin to show up, in around deer yards. The deer tend to yard together in areas as deep snow arrives. Often times it isn\’t uncommon to see herds of 2 or 300 in an area.

Talk to your local deer biologist in your area, and you may be able to find a bunch of sheds to start in this hobby. As you can see it can be very profitable.

Sheds can be made into lamps as well. Some local crafters also create knives, and use the antlers as knife handles. Your imagination can lead to some really beautiful creations, that can command a pretty high price.

If your not the type that likes to search for antlers, you can always put an ad in your local paper and offer to buy antler sheds from those that enjoy searching for them. If you live in a cold climate and get snow, the best time to search for sheds is coming rite up shortly. Mice and squirrels tend to chew up the sheds if they aren\’t retrieved beforehand.

Also as the snow receeds and you can get around pretty good, even without snowshoes. If you search before the snow is completely gone you can find the deer tracks and the sheds quite easily.

As the weather warms up it is a great way to get a little exercise and enjoy the great outdoors.

Don\’t forget to take along a camera.

A few days ago I was having a conversation
with one of my good friends about his
internet network marketing business and he
was a little bit frustrated with his income
level compared to his personal production.

He was frustrated because he expected his
income to be higher based on production and I
know exactly where he was coming from. In
network marketing when you do the math from
the ideal perspective the numbers look like
they should be a lot larger than they are.

It\’s partially due to inexperience, and
partially due to being new to business, but
having some consistent success.

Inexperience leads to doing the math in your
business based on what you want it to be
instead of what the numbers show. Until you
can do the math from your success it\’s hard
to set the right expectations.

And so one huge mistake I see people make is
looking at the glass empty instead of full to
the brim.

Here\’s what I mean…

There will come a point in your business
where you know how to create results and they
come in consistently on a personally level,
but you\’ll want to start to do the math based
on your company\’s compensation structure to
forecast your future profit potential.

What we tend to say here, and I said it, is “If
I can just keep getting X number of people
and if just 50% of them duplicate me in a few
months I\’ll be earning Y”

The time passes and your results don\’t match
your prospective math and you get
discouraged. You start working a little
less or with a little less energy. You say to yourself “This isn\’t working out
the way I thought it would” and you\’re mentally
disappointed.

So you start to cut costs to increase your
income. A few months later your income dips
and you\’re further disappointed and you say
“What gives? This should be on autopilot by
now?” And then little by little the income stream
gets smaller and smaller.

That\’s what happens when you look at the
glass half full. I personally choose to look
at the situation from the other perspective,
filled to the brim.

Who cares if you\’re earning what you thought
you should, I\’m fully grateful I\’m making a
dime. Most people online, some 95% of them,
spend and make nothing.

If you\’ve got the process down and you\’re
earning a partial or full time income from
home throw your arms in the air and scream
“HOOORAHHH!”

The mistake many make at this point, and what
I advised my good friend against, is slowing
down production and decreasing expenses to
increase net profits.

In the short term it may work, but long term
you\’ll lose momentum and profits. The true
path to increase your income is the exact
opposite and it\’s extremely counter
intuitive.

Just like those who scream that we\’re in a
recession and we all need to cut cost will
lose out in the end if they do, so will you
and I. The correct action when you want to
increase income long term is to increase
production now and always think globally and
long term.

It\’s not so much about right now, and how bad
or good things are, it\’s about how good
things will get in the future. You always want to hedge your bet for
tomorrow. The RIGHT reaction for a slump or less
than expected results is the pointed increase
of productivity in terms of personal out put
and ad spends.

This reaction my decrease net profits now,
but it will increase recruits, and income
long term and that\’s what you\’re really after
- long term consistent growth.

What you\’ll read out there online is that
magically you\’ll make money for nothing, but
that ain\’t reality my friend.

Online business is still business, the more
you spend the more you make now and later. Instead of thinking how little you can spend
on a lead or a recruit think how MUCH you
can.

Once you get your mind thinking down that
path you\’ll find you\’re playing in the realm of
the big dogs.

If you start to think about how MUCH you can
spend on a lead or recruit you have to think
about the overall profitability of your
business which is more important than income
right now.

To increase the probability of your business
being around long term start thinking about
how you can pay more, do more now, and
engineer your business so that you can do so
and you\’ll find yourself with an unfair
advantage in the marketplace.

If you can spend more on leads than your
competition you dominate flat out. You\’ll
pull leads and recruits out of place they
could never think about and because of it
your business thrives and their business
hangs on thread.

I know this is an advanced discussion and may
challenge some of the ideas you thought were
the path to online success, so I urge you to
read through this message more than once to
really get the gist.

There are a variety of choices for real estate loans, but if you are an investor, you might not know about all of your options. If your investment specialty is buying fixer-uppers and reselling them for a profit (rehabbing), then you would probably be happy to know that there are lenders that specialize in making loans to people like you. Sometimes they are called hard money lenders, rehab lenders or just private lenders. They are becoming increasingly popular with rehabbers for a number of reasons.

First of all it\’s easier. Because there have been so many defaults over the past several years, commercial banks are making fewer real estate home loans than usual. It is harder to get a mortgage and it is particularly difficult to get a loan approved if the house that you plan to buy is not your primary residence. Most private lenders prefer investors and rarely deal with people seeking a regular mortgage.

If you are able to get a real estate investment loan at a regular bank, they will only finance 80% of the sales price. That\’s the second reason that private lenders are becoming more popular. They do not require a down payment. They can finance 100% of the sales price, if the value of the property after repairs is good. Where a bank bases acceptable loan amounts on the purchase price, private lenders consider the after repair value of a property or the fair market value after repairs are completed.

Another reason that investors are turning to private lenders for real estate loans has to do with the time involved. Closing at a bank usually takes about a month, sometimes longer. A rehab lender can close in as little as two weeks. That\’s about how long it takes a banker to give you a rejection.

Banks are very wary of making real estate home loans for investment purposes. New laws concerning “flipping” have created more paperwork for the banking industry. If you finance a purchase through a regular bank and you are able to resell quickly at a substantially higher price, your deal can get “flagged”, requiring additional appraisals and slowing down the financing process for your buyer. You are much less likely to run into this problem if you use a private lender that specializes in rehab loans, simply because they have a better understanding of the system.

Want more reasons? Private funders can offer pre-approval on a real estate investment loan. They can provide a “proof of funds” letter, so that when you approach a seller and make an offer, you have proof that your offer is real, that you are not wasting the seller\’s time and that you can close quickly. To most motivated sellers, closing quickly is a very big deal. They will often agree to far less than their original asking price if they know that they can get out of the property faster.

What we have provided here is just a brief look at the advantage of choosing a private lender over a commercial bank for rehab projects. Choosing the right lender for your real estate loans can increase your profits, the number of deals that you can complete, improve your cash flow and more. You might want to learn a little more about the unique options that private lenders offer before you start your next project.

It\’s an ugly day here in Washington DC.

It\’s cold and raining, it\’s just one of those
days where you wake up and look out the
window and just want to roll over in bed and
go back to sleep.

On the business front, I\’ve had the same type
of days and maybe you have too.

Nothings going right, I\’m getting rejected,
and I\’m paying for the abuse. It got so hard
sometimes that I wanted to just give up, run
and hide, and just forget about it all.

So today I want to share something with you
that helps me get through even the roughest
of weather.

There are those times in your business that
no matter how are you press forward it seems
like life pushes you two steps back. You just
can\’t get a break, and no matter how hard you
“dream build” nothing works.

And there\’s that point where you hit the
glass sealing. Meaning, you\’re pulling people
into your business, but no matter how hard
you try your overall team size just doesn\’t
grow. It\’s like you\’re income gets capped at
a certain level and there\’s nothing you can
do get past it.

If you\’ve been in the industry for a while
and you\’ve achieved some success you know
what I\’m talking about. If you\’re new, there
will be a period of time in your business
that could stretch for months where the
recruits are coming in but the income isn\’t
growing.

It\’s one of the most frustrating things I\’ve
ever experienced, but I was able to break
past that point. Here\’s how . . .

The most important breakthrough I had was:

I was thinking about my business the wrong
way.

I would repeat “I want a team of 5,000 people
by the end of the year” and I put all I had
into doing it.

The problem with this way of thinking about
your business is that it\’s NOT an immediately
tangible goal to set. It\’s one the reasons why
whenever I hear a new recruit tell me that
they\’re going to earning $5,000 per month their
first month the moment they step into the
business I make them explain to me how.

If you\’re new how can you know that you
achieve this?

The answer I normally get is, “Well I\’m just
gonna do it.”

Good, but not good enough. You need to know
exactly HOW you\’re going to get there. So the
place you have to begin is with realistic
expectations. If you\’re new you can\’t set
realistic expectations without help.

This is where having an experienced leader in
the team helps. You have to break the process
down to basics. You have to know the numbers
and be realistic about them.

Don\’t start with the income when you set
expectations. You start with getting a single
lead. Once you know what it takes to get a
lead, you can move on to experiencing what it
takes to get a recruit.

Once you know what it takes to get a recruit
you can then start to talk about income. But
before you know the effort to be exerted to
get this far there is no way you can talk
about money.

It\’s like me saying I\’m going to make
$2,000,000 in the coffee industry this year
without knowing a thing about coffee. I can
say what I want, but unless I know the
mechanics behind how that income goal is
achieved I\’m just playing in the world of
fantasy.

Fantasy\’s and dreams are great, but the magic
happens when we can take those dreams and
attach a REAL experienced based process to
get there, so experience is necessary.

So, I\’ve said a lot so far . . .

I want to bring this all back to how I\’ve
used this principle to break through that
invisible glass sealing and how you can too.

You start small.

I knew that at that point I was generating
about 10 new sign ups a day, so instead of
jumping to a team of 5,000+ I took my
expectations back to reality and dealt with
what I knew.

I knew I could get 10 recruits a day and
there were opportunities I wasn\’t exploiting
fully, so, if I put as much of what I was doing
at that point on autopilot and put my focus
into the unexploited opportunities I could
realistically increase my recruits per day to
12 by the end of the month.

I did.

Then came the point where I took it to 14 and
beyond, and now I have a team of 7100+ plus.
At this point I just quit counting it all,
but I got there by looking at where I was and
used that to set realistic new DAILY goals,
and held myself accountable to them.

If you break things down to daily goals it
becomes tangible and doable, and that\’s where
you want to play.

These days I still do this, but more on an
income basis. Instead of saying I want to
make $1.4 million dollars this year, I think
about this question?

What can I do to increase my income by $300 a
day this month?

12 months of that and that\’s an income
increase of $3600 per day. And for me, at
this point, thinking about $300 per day
increases is a lot easier, trackable, and
doable on a daily basis.

You want to set realistic baby step increases
in your business daily goals, track them,
course correct, and then take the next step.

That\’s the best I\’ve found to consistently
increase productivity in a controlled
fashion, and if you follow along you\’ll find
the same will work for you.

Dream big, but brings those dreams back down
to daily goals.

There are many health risks that are associated with breast implants and can be classified into either one of two categories. These health risks are either long or short term risks. They can range cosmetic issues that are noticed immediately after the procedure, all the way up to various painful diseases cause by silicon absorption into the body.

Breast augmentations can cause local complications like chronic back pain or neck pain. You could rupture your implant or even suffer from an infection. In some bad situations, you can suffer from necrosis due to the leakage of an implant, in this situation, your skin will actually die.

Almost every person who undergoes a breast augmentation will suffer from some type of complication. These compilations that everyone will have include infections, pain, hardening of the breasts or a need for another surgery in order to repair the complication.

When it comes to general risks, the only thing that comes to mind when speaking about breast augmentations is that each and every surgical procedure will have risks associated with it. How bad these risks are depends on both the procedure as well as the person. The only person who can better explain the possible risks associated with your breast augmentation is the surgeon that will be performing the procedure.

The truth is that just like with any other surgical procedure, researching, asking questions and general studying the actual procedure will ensure that you are as informed about the procedure as you can possibly be. If you are well informed, you can make better decisions regarding your upcoming procedure. You will always have questions asked of you by the surgeon in charge of the operation that you may not be able to answer, but isn\’t it better if you can answer most of the questions without hesitation?

Health risks are plainly a fact of surgical procedures. When it comes to breast augmentations, these health risks can be simple and easily remedied or they can be extremely complicated and painful. Some people will never have an issue, while at the same time, some people may have a bad reaction to even a small amount of silicon that gets absorbed into the body. It really all depends on the person who undergoes the procedure.

Domains are bought and sold every day. Some are sold through auctions, some through brokers and some sold through direct deals. As a seller of a domain, you want to get the most money possible for it, as a buyer - you don\’t want to overpay. The following is a checklist of elements to consider when valuing a domain so that you have the best perspective for either buying or selling:

1. Does the domain already have a business on it? The difference between negotiating for a domain that is parked (ie, a site with no original content that drives revenue strictly through placing directory style ads on it) and a site that has a more developed business is enormous. If the domain is parked, it is basically generating pennies to dollars per day through people typing in the domain name. Parked domains can be set-up extremely quickly and are normally part of a larger portfolio. Domains with businesses on them have had planning, development and content creation put into it and are much more valuable as much for the work already put in as the vision of what the domain can become.

2. Are the domain keywords short, sweet and memorable? Domains that are part of the english dictionary, shorter and memorable are more valuable. The longer the domain keyword or the more words in the domain, the less valuable the domain becomes.

3. What is the search volume of the keyword(s) of the domain? A domain that has a high search volume (also known as a high type in volume) will be worth more due to the “natural” traffic the domain will receive. In addition, a high search volume type of domain gives the business an advantage over similar business models due to the importance of the domain name in search engine optimization algorithms.

4. Is the keyword(s) spelled correctly? Mis-spellings and multi-word domains that share a letter devalue the domain vs a correctly spelled domain.

5. What is the top level extension of the domain? The .com extension is more valuable than all other extensions due to the wider acceptance of .com, the scarcity of domains available with the .com extension and the fact that .com can be used internationally.

6. Does the domain have a hyphen or any special characters? Any additional charactes in a domain name like a hyphen or non-standard character will diminish the value.

7. What are the natural buyers or natural business use of the domain? The more natural businesses that can sit on the domain, the more potential buying competition there is.

8. Are there potential trademark infringement or other legal issues with the keywords in the domain? Much like a title search on a new house or piece of property, making sure the domain is free and clear to be transfered is important. This is especially important for high value domains. In addition, any potential conflicts with an established trademark will reduce the value of the domain.

9. What are the comparable transactions? When valuing real estate, agents look at what other comparable homes, property or buildings sold for. Same thing for domains. What have similar domains sold for at auction or through a broker recently?

10. Does the domain have branding and advertising potential? Amazon is a river, it is also the largest e-commerce site on the internet. Google is a pretty successful site too. The words are short, snappy and have good businesses built on them. Could the domain you are considering have the same potential? If so, it will be worth more.

While no single element will drive the value of a domain, looking at all of these elements together will help you determine the range of price the domain is worth. The rest is up to your negotiating skills and options available on the market. Future blog posts will go into how to go deeper into these elements including the tools available online.

Domain Strategies (http://www.domainstrategies.com) is dedicated to bringing together premium domains, visionary entrepreneurs and aggressive capital to create businesses. While most internet based business conceive of the idea first and then find the domain to go along with it, we treat domains as a valuable piece of real estate that needs to have the right business put on it to achieve the true value of the domain. Examples of domains that have been or are being built out include HealthCare.com, Patents.com and WiFi.com
