    Can A Business Be Financed With An Unsecured Loan?
    James S., from Las Vegas, N.V. asks, “I am very interested in starting a business, but just don’t want to put any of my property up for collateral due to some legal issues I have with my X-wife. I have a fairly good credit rating. Is there any way I could get an unsecured loan for my business start-up?”Many people thinking about going into business often think only of a bank for a business loan, and do not even consider all of the other options such as an unsecured loan. But all loan options should be considered when you are deciding how to finance your business, and an unsecured loan is an option.Advantages of an unsecured loan:Less documentation required – therefore, less work for you or your CPA or attorney.Your property is not used for security.Loan approval is usually quick.Closing the loan is hassle free.Disadvantages of an unsecured loan: Since the risk is higher to the lender there will be a higher interest rate to pay.If you need a large loan for your business, you may not be able to
    What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence, a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention and a need to allocate that attention efficiently among the overabundance of information sources that might consume it. - Herbert Simon

    Words You Should Never Say During Cold Calls - Ever
    One of the scary things about calling on executives is that well, they are executives. They are THE decision makers, the Big Kahunas, The Top Dogs!Executives are the leaders of the pack. Much like in the animal kingdom, they are the “Alpha dogs.” Others pups fall into line when Alpha’s growl and bare their teeth.Respect for that Alpha’s authority automatically kicks in for many sales professionals who cold call executives. As they try to please, to be seen as worthy, and to be granted an appointment with the top decision maker.Getting a “Top Dog” appointment is an admirable goal. A goal that quickly turns to disappointment for young pups who are rebuffed and sent down to frolic with the rest of the pack, by the “Bull Dog” (executive assistants) who guards the gate.When the assistant says, “The executive won’t be interested in this sort of thing.” Young pups turn, put their tail between their legs and whimper as they return to whence they came.Can young pups, newbie sales professionals avoid this kind of disappointment? You bet they can when, they learn the Top Dog Rules.Alp

    The Importance of Setting the Meeting Time
    How many times a day do you hear something to this effect: "We need to meet to discuss this." I would venture to say that it is quite a bit. However, what follows is an email chain like the following:"Ok, what time is good for you?" "Hmm, whenever, I'm pretty open." "Me too, do you have a time that you prefer?" "Not really, whatever works for you." "Ok, how about 3:00?"The last sentence is emphasized because it's the most important of the entire conversation: The setting of the meeting time. If you take a look at the first four sentences, they really don't do anything for the meeting other than waste time. If the last sentence was just the first sentence, it would have been resolved a lot quicker. This brings me to my main point: When scheduling a meeting, be the first one to suggest a time. This accomplishes two main things: You are more likely to get the meeting time you want. You save time because the meeting is setup from the get go. In regards to the first point, I've found that most people will go along wit

    * Impaired social skills, neglected relationships, and a weakened social circle (a consequence of substituting online socialization for face-to-face conversations)

    * Reduced energy (forum participation is sedentary compared to more active social outlets)

    * Reduced self-esteem

    * Career and income may suffer (including loss of employment)

    * Forum addiction

    Since the early 1990s, I've participated in many different online forums, message boards, and newsgroups and have experienced many of these positive and negative effects at various times. I ran a popular game developer forum for almost two years, so I've had experience both as a participant and a forum operator. On the positive side, I've learned many great ideas, made valuable new business contacts, and even met my wife on a local computer bulletin board system. On the negative side, I found excess participation to be a huge time drain (and very addicting as well).

    Here are some suggestions for using forums effectively and avoiding the negative side effects:
