Atricle Dump - The Seven Money Skills Of Extremely Prosperous People
International trade has become increasingly important to the world economy as well as the U.S. economy. Trade accounts for about 25 percent of U.S. and world gross domestic product (GDP). It is growing at twice the rate of any other economic sector. In terms of the United States, one-third of the small firms that make an exportable product and would like to export do not presently export what they manufacture. Of the small U.S. firms that do export, nearly two-thirds export to only one country.The international flows of goods and capital that underlie international finance are critically important to the well-being of the world's nations. United Nations statistics show that the ratio of world exports to total gross domestic product has consistently increased

Once you have your own blueprint, go to work on it one day at a time. Drill down and concentrate on your highest priorities, and focus single-mindedly on them until they are complete.
One cannot do everything, as there is not enough time. But one can choose to concentrate on the most rewarding activities as part of a series of steps towards a higher predetermined destiny.
In the late 19nth century, a young Andrew Carnegie decided upon his life’s purpose. “To spend the first half of my life building a fortune, and the second half of my life giving it away”
Carnegie went on to build US Steel, the largest conglomerate at that time, later selling it for US$480 million. True to form he spent the back half of his life giving it all away through infrastructure projects in the form of schools and libraries.
When asked how he managed to reach his life’s mission, he stated that the key was to simply write down the top 6 activities he had to
Kevin was ready to get the day started. He only had one scheduled meeting all day, a real rarity. He was looking forward to a day in the office to catch up on calls, emails, filing, etc. As he walked out the door of his home he slipped on some ice and broke his ankle. Kevin’s day just landed in a totally different direction than what he originally intended.Julie woke up all set to get the week started. She was excited because she was ready to dig in and be a productivity maven. She had put a task list together and she was geared up to tackle it. Just as she knocked one item off the list and felt that she was just getting on a roll she was interrupted. The interruption itself isn’t really important to this story – whether it was a colleague “dropping by
What does this mean? Essentially historians have labeled our times as Golden because of the overwhelming possibilities for human beings to become prosperous and live lives of abundance and happiness.
Yet despite such possibilities, many still struggle because the are unaware or choose to ignore the laws of financial freedom.
Financial independence is simply defined as:
The ability to live from the income of your personally invested resources.
How does one go about reaching a point of financial independence? Glad you asked. Here we go, as practiced by self-made people from all walks of life.
Extremely prosperous, financially independent people:
1. Value their money. They value each dollar bill as a money seed. Wealthy people know that a dollar a day can grow into a million dollars. So they are very respectful of every dollar they spend.
2. Control their money. They control their money down to the penny. Prosperous people take a few extra steps every time they spend money: (a) they shop for the best value, (B) they ask for and expect a discount, (c) they examine their receipts for mistakes, (d) they attempt to turn expenditure into a legitimate tax-deductible business expense, (e) they know the score, balancing their check book to the penny (f) they file their receipts.
3. Save money. They save at least 10% of what they earn, never ever touching this money. As their income increases, so does the amount they save, from 10, to 15, to 20% and upwards. As their income rises, they save more and more.
4. Invest money. They invest before they spend, following their own, simple allocation system. They understand that investing is not at all complicated, nor should it ever become so.
5. Earn more money. They understand that their greatest asset is themselves and therefore their ability to earn from Multiple Streams of Income outside their vocation.
6. Protect their money. Money lost is more than that. It is time lost in earning it. They therefore protect themselves with trusts, corporations, limited partnerships, and other legal entities. They have very few assets in their name.
7. Give back. They establish or are aligned with foundations to which they donate 10% of their money. Period. The more they donate, the more the Universe gives back.

Let There Be Light!Lighting for your store can never be too perfect. Never choose lighting to be the expense you skip out on because light is one of the most quintessential properties of your store. It communicates to your customer the value of your products as well as the value you place on your business. Consider the lighting you would find in a museum displaying valuable artifacts or rare works of art. You probably will not find cheap light bulbs accenting the workings of Van Gogh. The value of objects will always reflect in the lighting selected to display them. Understanding different lighting options and requirements will put you well on your way to a more effective store display.Dimmers are usually an essential part to the lighting ensemble
