Tackling Your Unemployment Creatively
Are you unemployed or been laid off? You are not alone if that is any comfort to you. Worldwide millions of people are in the same predicament as you are. Unemployment and lay offs are stark realities of the downsizing, reengineering, restructuring, and automation in a sluggish global economy where corporations are trying every trick in the book to reduce costs, increase productivity and keep the organization lean, mean and profitable. Every one of us has gone through the phase of being unemployed once or more in our careers.What does one have to undergo during this period. Endless wait for phone calls, eagerly scanning the emails or letters inviting you for a discussion, even a

You would think that developing a business card would be easy. You put the name of the business, email, phone number, fax, website and whatever else you think is pertinent and/or applicable. Obviously, if you have no website or fax, well then chances are you’re not going to include such items…Duh. So, you sit down at your desk and jot down some ideas and before you know it, if you actually put some effort into it, you realize it is not as easy as you originally thought. Well, just like any other type of advertising, business cards take some thought for development. The first thing we struggled with was, “Who is this business card for?”

This is a great question that requires follow up questions such as, “Who’s going to read them?” and ”What purpose will they serve?”. Once you establish the purpose of your business card, then you have to come up with things to say that speak to the people you’re giving them to. The people you give your business cards to should probably be considered customers. You want your customers to be able to quickly see what you are all about. Think about the different people you may run into in your business travels. You may attend a chamber of commerce function and want to specifically market vendors or contractors of some kind. You may want to let them know you’re provide contracting work that meets their investment goals.

On the other hand, you may be driving neighborhoods and want to let people know you “buy houses with no hassles”. On a seperate day, you may want to visit some apartment complexes and drop some cards around that let people know you offer great deals on seller financed projects or lease options. You also may want to bring all these cards to investor meetings or chamber of commerce meetings to give everybody a taste of what you’re all about!

So is the answer, to have numerous business cards that represent all of your business interests to all different types of “customers”? Maybe, that depends on your focus which relies on the answers to the questions above. To save money you might consider making your cards double-sided. On one side of the card, you sell property and on the other, you buy property.

Root Cause Analysis - Simple Techniques to Understand Why Performance is Doing What It's Doing
Measuring performance results is a great thing to do, but understanding the causes of those results is at least as worthwhile. Understanding causes means you have information about how to exercise more influence (or control) over those results. If you want your results to improve, you've got to change the right things about the process or activity or function that produces those results.Understanding the real causes of performance results means taking a more rigorous approach than knee-jerk reacting to hearsay, opinion or gut feel. Here are some basic techniques to help you navigate through the stages of cause analysis:* find the likely causes, and measure the incidence of eac

Address labels are by far one of the most effective supplies when it comes to the office.When you arrive at the office supply store you may become overwhelmed at the options available when it comes to address labels.

You’ll have options for what type of paper to have the cards printed on as well. Many businesses choose to use yellow cards with black lettering. This is prominent and stands out. Most are just white with whatever kind of letter color. If you know a graphic designer, you may choose to have them design one for you, put the predesigned card on a disc and bring this to the printer. The printer will like this, as it cuts down their time spent designing the card for you.

The issue of price and which printer to use will be something to consider as well. Depending on your local area, Kinko’s prices may be reasonable. We decided to use Minuteman Press. They charged us $95.00 for 1000 double-sided cards. We have color on one side and black and greys on the other, set against a white card. We designed them first, put them on a disc and gave it to them. They came out perfect. In our case, the content became the issue, as we put things on the cards that really didn’t describe our business accurately. That’s our mistake. Now we’re not talking any type of illegal or false advertising, we just put things on the cards that we don’t particularly like.

What not to put on a business card: Titles. If you’re just starting out and you started a Corp or LLC, you may consider yourself “President” or some variation, but this title is a hefty one to place on a business card. It implies that you have all the answers. If you do, well then that’s great. But seeing as this is a site devoted to the noob investor, well then we’ll just go ahead and guess that “you ain’t all that” just yet. So needless to say, something like, “Tom Smith, Member” should suffice. This accomplishes two important objectives. It implies that their is more than one person in your business - that can seem professional. Secondly, it lets you off the hook if you are at a function or just talking with a fellow investor who asks you a question you can’t a
