Casual Articles - How I Started a Successful Investment - Part-Time
As a recruiter I have heard and read many suggestions related to job searching and career development. I've spent a significant amount of time helping people find their dream career and have also watched as some candidates have made huge mistakes that have prevented them from doing so.One of the biggest mistakes I've seen is when job searchers listen to advice without considering the source. Often the source isn't accurate.As a recruiter, I get paid to help people find new jobs so I have to know what is right and what is wrong when it comes to job searching.Here are perhaps the biggest myths I've encountered during my career in recruitment:Myth #1: You can find a job in 14 da
If you’re a manager working in a business that wants to become successful in the 21st century, then you need to embrace the 8 archetypal roles of the New-Age Manager.1. Prophet. The new-age manager stands out from others by their ability to see possibilities that others don’t see. He or she doesn’t just have a goal for the team to reach, but a vision of something exciting and unique. "Some people see things as they are and ask "Why?" I see things that are not and never were and ask "Why not?"." (George Bernard Shaw)2. Partner. The days when the manager was someone who stood above the workforce or lived in a separate part of the business have long gone. Today, the manager is a k
Like many who wanted to start their own business, I was faced with the harsh reality that I had no clue on where or how to start my journey. My plans however, lead me to buying every book I could find on how to start my own business and read them in a short time frame. I spent hours and hours reading all kinds of books. However, most of them were vague and unrealistic.
I even came across some of so called “Gurus” but who had nothing to prove their success with. But I kept on searching for motivation and guidance in how I could make money even just a tiny bit of it. My desire was to be able to find someone who knew about what I wanted to do, tell me all about it and from there on I would do the rest. Despite my persistence, I could not find anyone with those attributes. So I resorted to the internet. Again, the so called “Gurus” were all over the internet. I started to lose interest and patience. But just when I thought that I would give up, I went on searching again and again for that kind of “mystical” being that would lift me up.
I wanted to find someone honest, willing to carry me on his wings and fly away as far as training was concerned. So I kept on looking and browsing the internet. One day, I was tired and hopeless. But before I gave up, I decided to give it one more try. At that point I came across a webpage that changed my life. Unlike other websites, this one was of a young, articulate lawyer from Atlanta turned real estate investor. His explanations were simple and easy to follow. Unlike the so called “Gurus” in real estate investments, he asked the visitors to his website to do a few things to test his ide
Well, you've set up your medical billing company and you're all set to do business. Except there's one problem. You don't have any clients. So the question is, how do you go about getting them? Since nobody knows you even exist yet, they're not likely to come knocking on your door. Well, hopefully, after you've read this article, you'll have several good ideas for how to build up your medical billing client base.Typically, what this is all going to come down to is advertising, obviously. But how? Years ago, you didn't have nearly the number of advertising methods that you have today. The Internet has opened up a new world to businesses from all over.So let's start with the Internet.

"Roger, you must get those contracts completed for this month's sales and don't forget, we have a meeting tomorrow at 9:00. Don't be late again!"Roger was a super salesman, but he risked losing his job because he was too busy rushing from client to client to get his paper work completed. He missed meetings and was disruptive when he did come. His boss saw how his energy and enthusiasm brought in clients, but considered him childishly irresponsible with him and his colleagues.What Roger wouldn't admit and his boss didn't know was that Roger had Attention Deficit with Hyperactivity Disorder(ADHD). The hyperactive part gives him lots of energy and enthusiasm to go go when doing what he loves doi

I was reading an interesting story on President Bush in Yahoo News (because, of course, I so seldom get away from my PC). There was a picture of the president trying to make a hasty retreat from reporters in Beijing, only to discover that the doors had been locked. Apparently, he hadn't decided on an exit strategy beforehand. His predicament reminded me of a problem that entrepreneurs may often encounter. The lack of a feasible exit strategy.Why would you need an exit strategy for a plan, a partnership or your relationship with a vendor? Because the consequences are TOO high for you not to. It doesn't make you a failure and you are not planning to fail. Instead, you are covering all of your b

I’m known in the marketplace as someone who takes a no-nonsense, no-excuses approach to marketing and getting clients, meaning, I do what it takes, and create systems for everything so that I’m always marketing. (By the way, my clients now do the same.) In turn, I always have a full roster of clients. That’s what I teach in my private coaching, in my Boot Camps, and in my Client Attraction Home Study System.One thing though, which only my private clients know about me, is I also throw in a healthy dose of Manifestation, which means focusing on what you want in your life, in such a way that you start attracting what you want quickly. Some might call it “positive thinking,” but I believe
The next day, armed with a notebook and a pen I drove around the city as per his instructions and I looked for the things he was teaching about, good real estate properties. In the days and weeks that followed, I bought his e-book and cd. I listened to every single word. I read the book three times just to make sure that I did not miss any details.
I even asked questions to the residents in the areas I visited just to be sure. Incredibly, everything he was teaching was exactly what I was experiencing on the ground. I knew then, that I had found a gold mine.
Confident, motivated, armed with all his tools and suggestions, I was ready to strike my first deal. I found an investment property with 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, sitting room, dinning room, basement, and a garage in a good condition. It needed remodeling. I negotiated the price back and forth as per his instructions in the book. Finally the seller accepted my offer for a settlement. The date was set. Everything was in place. I must admit, I was overwhelmed.
At the settlement I was very nervous, surrounded by the seller, realtor, a lawyer, a mortgage company representative and a whole lot of papers to sign. It was scary looking, to say the least.
Although my lack of experience was evident, I tried hard not to lose focus. I was able to secure the deal through to the end. My courage paid off. At the very end of the settlement and to my surprise, I was being handed over a fat check. I believe it wa
