    The Primacy Of Planning
    “@#$%& 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 know we ought to. But it’s done grudgingly, and because of that incompletely. And then when the plan doesn’t work we reinforce the thought that planning is a waste of time. But really, is it? What are the pitfalls of not planning?PITFALLS OF NOT PLANNING Well, first there’s the effect on the plan itself. What happens when we don’t plan at all? That’s more easily seen if we look at a good vacation. Most of us wouldn’t think of going on an extended vacation without doing significant planning. Why? Becaus

    How To Avoid A Bad Business Opportunity - Review
    I am sure at some point we have all been tempted by 'get rich quick' schemes. You have heard and seen it all before, the tempting schemes that we receive by email/post/newspaper advertisements etc. They promise we will be able to give up work and make ?1000's for just a few minutes work a day on the internet. They tempt you by promises of nice houses, cars and holidays and lots of ???'s.Here are some key points on how to establish whether a 'Business Opportunity' is likely to leave you broke rather than lead you to the promised pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.- DUE DILIGENCE.

    Panama has a number of unique attributes that make this a great asset protection jurisdiction for corporations, foundations, banking and stock brokerage accounts. Some call Panama the Switzerland of Latin America but this is not fair, Panama is far better than Switzerland and any other jurisdiction. Read why Panama excels:

    Offshore derived Income is not taxed and does not need to be reported. You can have a Panama Corporation, and/or Foundation that banks in Panama and has an office in Panama and yet will not pay any Panama taxes if all the income is derived from offshore. Right here is a big reason for choosing Panama.

    Bearer Share Corporations are allowed in Panama. Most jurisdictions have eliminated bearer share corporations. They are referred to as an S.A. Corporation having this designation after the corporate name. This means the ownership of the Corporation is not recorded anywhere just the directors (which can be employee professional directors provided by our law firm). These corporations can be used to own or control assets such as bank accounts, stock brokerage accounts, real estate, boats, planes, vehicles, businesses, precious collectibles like artwork, jewelry, stamps, coins, etc. The owner has the stock certificates of the company which can be transferred privately as often as needed with no reportage of the new owners. No one need know who owns the corporate shares except the original owner and new owner. When you think about it ownership could be transferred 10 times in a day. When you send an international bank wire using the S.A. Corporation no one monitoring the international wires as some countries do knows who the actual owners of the corporation are that are receiving the funds. If ownership of a corporation is publicly recorded rest assured it is in numerous databases and can be accessed in seconds to determine who is actually receiving money sent to a corporation.

    Panama uses the US Dollar as its currency. No currency conversion costs. No currency devaluation problems or issues like most of the little tax haven countries have. In Panama the ATM machines spit out US $20 bills. Even USA coins are used in Panama. Panama is stable. It is a neutral country. Panama controls the Panama Canal and does not have a standing army. Most of these small countries never ever use their armies to repel an invading army from another country. These little banana republic countries use their armies to control the people, suspend elections, hold rigged elections, keep dictators in power under the guise of democracy etc.

    Panama is in a treaty with the USA regarding the Panama Canal which Panama has sole control over. If the canal is threatened by a foreign power as in an invasion, the USA has the right to come in and protect the canal and the canal zone which is the area surrounding the canal (25 sq. miles only, not the entire country) - think aircraft carrier groups, marine expeditionary forces, air force fighter planes, navy seals, etc. The treaty does not allow the USA to take over Panama per se just the few square miles around the canal, not the banking district. So who is crazy enough to try and attack Panama, a UN certified neutral country, no one. US air force jets could be in Panama within two hours, an aircraft carrier group would probably be there in 24 hours. So we can forget about Panama being invaded by another foreign power, it would be essentially the same thing as attacking the USA directly. The same would apply if a dictator tried to seize control over Panama. The USA would see this as a potential threat to the Panama Canal and take military action, fast. The USA has no authority in Panama. Their Federal Agents have no authority or power. USA courts have no authority in Panama. Panama is a free country that has a treaty with the USA concerning protection of the Panama Canal. Interestingly enough China is involved heavily in commercial operations in the canal ports and also has a vested interest in seeing Panama and the Canal operate freely and smoothly.

    Less Clutter- More Clients
    Every business wants to look good for their clients. Whether this means maintaining a shop to high standards or keeping a customer-friendly office, businesses want to ensure that their clients feel welcome and that they're exposed to the best possible aspects of the company. However, there's much more to keeping a work environment looking good than mere presentation: efficiency of work also holds a large stake in the matter.There are countless aspects to any business environment, ranging from the actual building where a business is based to specialised departments such as IT and administration. However, with all the strategic and developmental processes within a company, it can be difficult to organize operational aspects such as maintenance. For this reason, many companies often rely on efficient, effective and specialized means of support. Cleaning services, for example, are a vital investment for any business; after all, there's nothing like clutter to get in the way of running a business efficiently.But cleaning services do much more than simply clear away clutter: they organize offi

    The LLC Advantage
    Limited Liability Company (LLC) is getting the attention of many small businesses that want to incorporate. The LLC is one of a few options available for individuals wishing to incorporate their business and is gaining ground as one of the most popular form of incorporating. So why are people flocking to the LLC as opposed to options like C Corp?Liability AdvantagesIn a LLC, you find the words “limited liability”. These words appeal to business owners because one’s personal assets are not at risk. In other words, debts against the business will not affect the owner for the debt collection. The owner’s home, financial and physical assets would not be subject to the company’s liability. In fact, some companies separate their assets among different LLCs to protect their assets. For example, a company can hold equipment in one LLC and financial assets in the other. By doing so, all the assets won’t be exposed to the same liability.Another intriguing advantage is that the transfer of the debt to the limited liability company will not affect the owner, individually, for the debt

    How to Write a Powerful Newsletter for Your Business
    Most marketing people think of newsletters as quaint old things, like handwritten letters or mimeograph machines. While marketing is not immune to fads, newsletters are an absolute evergreen. After all, how can direct communication with your customers ever be a bad thing? And if you do it right, your customers will actually look forward to hearing from you!One reason newsletters are so hot is that no one is doing them. Some marketers may think they're hopelessly old school. Others may have tried to do them and failed (they're harder than they look). And still others are so buried under the avalanche of everyday emergencies that doing something as benign and friendly as a newsletter sounds almost unproductive.Newsletters are powerful. Think about what they are for a minute: it is a way for you to communicate directly with your customers at regular intervals. Most other marketing communications efforts are hit-or-miss. You place an ad that is seen by people who might be interested in your product but also by many others that will never want your product. A brochure can be put into the hand

    Advantages of Online Textile Trading
    Online Textile Trading is a niche market which sooner or later would catch up with the www pace. Since most of the textile trading involve people buying bulk products spanning vast geographical areas. People just dismiss the concept of textile trading online simply because of the prevailing fraudulent techniques.

    Panama holds free elections as a democracy, really and truly. Panama cares about their people. Medical care is affordable, food is cheap, housing affordable with special projects for the working folks to own their homes, homeless people are absent, college is made affordable and many young people attend. Panama has two medical schools, two dental schools, two law schools etc. In Panama 15%-20% of the work force are employed by the 135 banks domiciled there. Since Panama values these jobs do not expect to see any changes in banking laws, same for their corporate laws. Panama has over 400,000 corporations domiciled there. The only information sharing going on concerns bona fide criminal cases on file in a court as a criminal prosecution, serious criminal cases of money laundering and narcotics trafficking, terrorism, and child pornography. Panama has little interest in pursuing fiscal crimes. Income tax violations in Panama are civil offenses only. Panama also serves as a maritime registry for ocean going vessels. Panama is anything but a banana republic. You can feel safe and secure in Panama. Go for a visit if you like.

    Panama Banks are stable and well established with substantial assets. Panama Savings and Loans have $10,000 insurance on the individual accounts. Panama Banks have the best privacy laws in the world; the BEST got it, the VERY BEST. You have the greatest chance of protecting your money from your potential or actual financial enemies in Panama. If you go to actually visit some of the other frequently used asset protection countries you see unpaved streets, poor impoverished people, lack of computerization in government offices, ancient telephone systems, poor health care, a government that is as corrupt as can be and you may find out your "Bank" is located on an unpaved road, in a second story walk-up office building over a grocery store. You do not want to bank in these places. People have lost billions banking in these island and banana republics. In Panama your bank may very well have a 40 story modern hi rise office building with their name on it.

    In Panama as one of our clients you are going to be banking with a bank that has a real banking license. This means that the bank can conduct transactions with citizens of Panama as well as citizens and companies located outside of Panama. The bank will have branch offices with tellers, drive through windows, ATM machines etc. The bank has to post $10,000,000 cash with the government as one of their license requirements. In many offshore jurisdictions there are “Offshore Banking Licenses.” These licenses allow the bank to only open accounts for people who are not citizens of the country. Sort of makes you feel scared or it should. These offshore banks can't do business with residents of the country they are located in! Additionally the deposits required for an Offshore Banking license in some of these jurisdictions is typically $100,000 to $1,000,000 compared to the $10,000,000 Panama requires. Panama banks have their own ACH system which allows for online transfers from one Panama bank to another at a cost of about $1.00 per transaction. Currently thirty Panama banks are in the system. These transfers do not go over the international wire systems. Panama banks allow for the deposit of checks drawn in US dollars, clearing takes two to three weeks. Most offshore banks will not take checks any more or if they do, they put long holds on them like ninety days.

    Panama was built and maintained by the Americans up until 2000. Panama is loaded with skyscrapers that are 30 to 50 stories high. You can drink the water, there is American type electrical systems, you can use American appliances in Panama, good paved roads, really excellent internet perhaps better than what you have in your country, good phones, and it is only 2.5 hours from Miami, Florida. Panama is a remarkably crime free country - New York City has more violent crime in one day than Panama has in a year.

    English is always spoken by people working in Panama Banks and the Nicer Hotels, Fine Restaurants, Law Firms and by the Doctors.
