Overcoming Obstacles On Your Path To Success
Every great athlete, businessperson, or great individual had to stretch and reach for his or her goals. They know that obstacles are a part of the goal achievement process and so they focus on succeeding rather than on what may be keeping them from succeeding. It means overcoming hardships and setbacks, rather than giving up at the first sign of opposition or misfortune. To do this you have got to be willing to take some calculated risks and be prepared to fall down from time to time.

Tips for Writing a Business Proposal
Business in the nineties means fierce competition, aggressive marketing and strategic alliances. The extent to which a business succeeds or fails often depends upon that business's ability to be awarded contracts or to attract other businesses into Joint Ventures or strategic alliances. To accomplish either one usually requires two key items: good ideas and the ability to present those good ideas in a superbly developed business proposal.

Demystifying Merchant Accounts
Many new business owners are confused about rates and fees for merchant accounts, and rightfully so. In order to get many of your questions answered you have to spend hours searching the Internet. The purpose of this article is to help demystify some of the confusing questions you may have about credit card rates and fees.
When it comes to choosing which Merchant Account Provider you wish to deal with (there are many of them out there) the one factor that influences most people is the cost. Accepting credit cards can be expensive, so make sure when you're searching around you compare different providers to get the best deal. Read all the fine print also, as you may find some "hidden" charges not mentioned elsewhere like cancellation fees for example.

Power Your Profits With Price And Perception
People don't always buy based on the lowest price, but they do like to feel they're getting a good deal. If your aim is to give your customers value for their money... then your asking PRICE should represent the VALUE customers place on your product or service. If the price asked for doesn't feel right, in relation to the value delivered, customers are not going to buy.

Cracking The Cellular Code
While the clarity on your cell phone may be increasing, the overall picture of wireless technology is becoming progressively murkier. New terms and services seem to spin off of the presses every day, and it’s hard to separate what you need to know from what you don’t.
What do all those acronyms mean? Most are specific ways of transmitting what amounts to the same kind of signals. Different phones depend on different technologies, and many of these are manufacturer-dependent.

The Start of a Beautiful Relationship
One trillion dollars. Say that with your hand facing palm-out and only your pinky extended to touch your mouth. The reason that I am requesting you do this is because it almost seems like an amount of money that doesn't exist and this makes it comical. However, this amount of money does exist and it is spent every year by the Federal Government on fulfilling government contracts.

The Revolt of the Poor - The Demise of Intellectual Property
Three years ago I published a book of short stories in Israel. The publishing house belongs to Israel's leading (and exceedingly wealthy) newspaper. I signed a contract which stated that I am entitled to receive 8% of the income from the sales of the book after commissions payable to distributors, shops, etc. A few months later, I won the coveted Prize of the Ministry of Education (for short prose). The prize money (a few thousand DMs) was snatched by the publishing house on the legal grounds that all the money generated by the book belongs to them because they own the copyright.

Selling Is Not A Dirty Word
Selling--a word that strikes terror in writers and professionals. We love to write. We love to coach. We love to speak. We hate to SELL. Maybe that's because we have the used car salesman or the vacuum sales person in mind. They annoyed us because they didn't listen, they pushed, and we felt attacked. We defended our position, and that's what we think others do when we share our talents.

Marketing: A Battle Of Products Or A Battle Of Perceptions?

Market Your Book Through A Feature Story
Do you send out press releases? Have they brought you financial rewards?
If not, you may want to rethink how to write a good one--one that gets noticed, published, and most important, gets a feature story. If editors notice and love your press release, they will want to interview you for a feature story. A feature gets a lot more attention than a news release.

Utilizing an Active Marketing Strategy: Tips for Increasing Sales On Your Web Site
Many people contact me all the time and ask how they can ramp up sales on their web site. A lot of people think they can simply put up a web site where they offer a few products for sale and the money will instantly and automatically roll in. With that strategy and thinking, you may, if you have dumb luck, make a trickle of money but you certainly will not create a tidal wave of sales.

Google.com, one of the web's hottest search engines, has indexed several billion of web pages to date*. The World Wide Web is officially gigantic, with hundreds of thousands of corporate, small business, and ecommerce websites vying for something more than just the "eyeballs" that web analysts hailed in the 1990's.

Becoming an Online Word Compactor
Writing for online publication differs from writing for print. One difference is length; online pieces tend to be less than 1,000 words in length. Long text passages are difficult to read on-screen, so the key to writing successfully online is to become a "word compactor".

Health Insurance for the Self-Employed
"I've been considering quitting my full-time job and getting a part-time job that would pay the bills [so I can start a home business] ... The one biggie my full-time job provides me now is health insurance. If I was to get a part-time job, I'd probably have to pay for my own health insurance and I know that can be expensive."
