Atricle Dump - 5 Steps To Avoid Losing Your Shirt
Searching for a legitimate business opportunity takes time and research. There is no business opportunity that you should ever get into that makes unrealistic demands. If there is a sense of urgency, a one time only offer that ends tomorrow, or an extremely reduced price offer, you should know that there is something wrong. There are other things to look for as well.Illegitimate business opportunities try to pressure searching entrepreneurs into making decisions at the spur of the moment. Once they have you on the phone or you visit their website, they won’t let you leave until you

As a parent, you may have experienced problems recently during and in the aftermath of the storms.’Communication difficulties … … you not able to get to work quickly, having to stay at home to work because of storms, floods, no transport, no electricity, events cancelled suddenly… … you are concerned about your child’s welfare, is their school open, closed, does a child need collecting urgently, or do you sometimes struggle to contact your child’s school at busy times, do they have difficulty contacting you when you wish they had let you know personally about developing situatio

Hello, how do you make money if you work for free?
It's not on purpose but this same scenario happens over and over with small and large businesses alike. The key is to develop a billing system so that you handle money collection the same way every time you do it. Think about it once, put the process into action and then monitor it regularly. Here are 5 ways put more cash in your pocket.
#1 Get your customers to pay upfront
Put a package together or estimate what the bill will be and get your customer to pay you before you ever start working.
Yes, you can do that.
Think about the number of programs, seminars, networking dinners, books, CDs, etc. you have paid for before you got to have it. If you set the expectation with your clients up front many will be happy to pay you in advance. It's the surest way to get paid for your goods or services.
Not comfortable with getting payment in full, consider getting a deposit.
#2 Send invoices on a regular basis and make sure you get paid
Pick an invoicing day such as the 1st or 15th of the month. Set that on your (or your assistant or bookkeeper's) calendar and do all billing at once. Make sure you have a system in place to make it easy to create invoices.

To attract clients who pay in full and out of pocket for your services, it's imperative to position yourself as a helpful expert. This is true whether you are a business consultant, a beautician, a psychotherapist, a gardener, a car mechanic, a coach or a massage therapist.It's a simple fact of human behavior: People are more likely to believe that you can help them if they perceive you as an expert, which, in turn, increases the likelihood that they will hire you. For example, you wouldn't choose a car enthusiast to overhaul your engine; you'd choose an experienced mechanic.

“@#$%& it! Will you quit bugging me with your planning meetings – I’ve got work to do!”That was a statement made to me by a manager when I asked him - for the third time - to work with a group of us assigned a critical project. The project, if carried off well, would have profound effects on the long term health of the business. But it ended up fizzling after two months. Why? Because this manager, in a crucial department, didn’t see the need for planning, and wouldn’t ‘play’.Planning can be looked on as a pain in the neck. Often, at the very best, we do it because we kn

Bronchitis is identified as being either chronic or acute. Acute bronchitis usually is limited into ration to anywhere from a few days to a week or two. It's often accompanied by flu like symptoms. Once ill, you can expect to have several days, with limited or no productivity, and even more time not performing at your best. While chronic bronchitis tends to last months or even years, the symptoms are much less pronounced and debilitating.Of these two basic bronchitis categories, acute bronchitis is typically associated with colds and flu like symptoms. The symptoms of acute bro
Get paid before you end up in a never-never land situation. One of my clients is a high end copy writer. She charges a deposit up front and then the balance once copy is complete. The problem was she would deliver the final product and the client wouldn't pay the balance. She had nothing to hold on to because they already had her words. So we changed her process, now she never releases the final product until she has been paid in full.
#3 Automate, automate, automate
Got clients on a payment plan?
Have a recurring monthly fee?
Set up automated payment through a shopping cart service such as www.1shoppingcart.com. You tell it when to charge and how much and it does it for you. The money comes flying in.
But wait; my clients pay me by check. And they are always late. Try sending a nice reminder email or make a kind reminder phone call the week before payment is due.
Talk to your bank. See if you can have people wire you payments. Cuts down on the strenuous task of finding a stamp. Or set a policy. Something like two late check payments means they have to pay you by credit card.
#4 Make an effort to collect
Monitor the aging of your invoices. When it gets close to the due date, start calling. Don't just expect that others are going to make paying you a priority. Call them, fax them, and email them. Ask them to pay with a credit card. Even if you don't have a merchant account you can always have someone send you a payment through Paypal. It's worth the small percentage they charge if it gets you paid. You are entitled to collect your hard earned cash. If you have to, turn you
