Hub You - Wall Street to Main Street: News, Views and Commentary: April 26, 2006
A must read before you form your corporation.We've talked to literally hundreds of business owners over the years. If there's one thing we've learned beyond the shadow of a doubt from those who have been sued, needlessly poured money down bottomless tax or expense holes, or whose businesses have failed, it's this: NOT ONE was excited over the few bucks they saved by using a low cost incorporator -- or worse, flying solo -- to incorporate or establish an LLC for their business.Years and untold dollars later, they sorely regret the hard work, stress, and many, many lost hours of time with family and friends -- consumed instead by lawyers, bankers, accountants and creditors, while picking up the pieces of the wreckage from a devastating lawsuit or bankruptcy.All those losses could have been prevented by proper planning with the right company to support them. All those losses were the indirect, and sometimes direct result of “penny-wise, pound foolish” thinking. They've learned (the hard way) the value of having a company
Boeing (NYSE: BA) is not only a company to watch as earnings are on the way but it’s a stock to own. With major contracts being signed with China as of late it’s only a matter of time before that relationship grows a lot stronger, one other avenue of growth is Boeing tapping into the other emerging market India. So there are a lot of opportunities for growth as the stock has the potential to be a $100 stock in the next 6 to 12 months.

After years of success, you may find that your current job is not as satisfying as it once was. Usually, this realization doesn't come overnight. Like termites gnawing a piece of timber, the process may take months for you to notice.Maybe you now know, after what seems to have been an eternity of effort, that you will no longer be CEO of your organization. But instead of seeing the writing on the wall and deciding to make a change, you decide to stay inside your comfort zone rather than succumbing to the voices of discontent within you.Consider my two neighbors. One had been a successful insurance salesman, but his company had been rocked by a scandal, his morale was low and he tired of doing the same old thing. He longed to join a high-tech company, maybe to sell computer software, but he didn't even know the difference between Windows 98 and 98 windows.The other neighbor was the manager of a local bank branch. Within a short period of time, the bank had been through three mergers. With each change

Twin suicide attacks targeting security personnel rocked northern Sinai near the Gaza Strip today, two days after triple bombings killed at least 18 people in a resort further south.
It looks as though Fox News’ Tony Snow will be named White House press secretary by President Bush at some point this morning, an excellent replacement for Bush.
US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld made a surprise visit to Iraq to show support for the country's emerging new government.
Added note:
The film about United Flight 93 that depicts the events of September 11 has premiered at the Tribeca Film and over 90 relatives of the victims of Flight 93 attended the premiere. Robert DeNiro acknowledged the presence of the relatives and the nature of the film as he addressed the audience before the showing.
On a personal note, being a New Yorker and seeing first hand the devastation that day, almost losing my wife in the WTC and attending countless wakes, I have to say that even though for most this may be a hard film to watch, it is a story that must be told so that we do not forget those that were lost and those heroes that never made it back home. I have yet to see the film but for Robert DeNiro to allow it to be shown at the Tribeca Film festival it had to be worthy.

VOICEThe Image the customer has of the Salesperson is vital. In telesales the image is created through voice alone. There is no smartly dressed representative to see, no glittering product to touch and tantalize-just a voice on the other end of the phone. However good the present telephone system may be, the fact remains that the quality of the sound of the human voice is partially lost through transmission, resulting in the client misinterpreting your meaning.To Allow speech to be heard clearly be careful with your choice of words. Use simple words. Avoid jargon and local expressions which may not be understood by your clients. Speak clearly and use correct pronunciation. Accent can give your talk a real boost as they are unique and can sound very atttractive.Donot waffle or attack the client. Stop to breathe. Pausing is very important. Don't speak in a monotone manner not only this make you sound boring and unethusiastic but it could be mislead that your product is lacking in substance too. And a little colour to you

Paid Surveys are the latest craze online with more and more people getting paid to give their opinions to companies about their latest products.So are Paid Surveys a scam, well the answer is some of them are but some websites and Paid Surveys companies are legit and there are more and more people using Paid Surveys to make good part time or full time incomes online.The reason you can get paid for doing surveys is because market research is an important part of every company’s role and it is a good idea to know what the general public will think about a product before it is released.Also Paid Surveys exist for products that are already on the market and the companies want to know how people would feel if they changed a brand name or some aspect of the product.The reasons given above why companies will release Paid Surveys is probably why there is more and more people saying they get paid more doing surveys part time then they would do with a conventional part time job.Also you will find that some Paid Surv

We all hear anecdotal stories of horrible customer service. Sadly, many people have come to expect bad customer service as the norm today.If you are starting a business in today’s hyper competitive marketplace, you should realize this acceptance of poor customer service as a real sales opportunity.If people’s service expectations are low and you can provide excellent customer service, you can expect your business to grow. The real question becomes are you willing to do what it takes to provide this level of customer service?Starting a new business is frustrating and hard. The emotional roller coaster ride can be brutal. Committing your organization to achieving outstanding customer service is easy when you are starting out. The hard part comes when things are not necessarily going your way and you begin to encounter many of the frustrations new entrepreneurs often face.When you are tired, frustrated and wondering if your new venture will ever succeed is the most important time to deliver above and beyond wh

As you know, everyone loves to be appreciated, recognized, and acknowledged for the good deeds they do. The world has changed a lot and being considerate and having manners are becoming a thing of the past.Here's a mortgage marketing tip that can help your business so much, your head will spin:Write notes to people everyday and tell them simply "Thank You."There's no doubt about it...when you take the time to thank someone, you connect with them on a totally different level. All of a sudden, it becomes extremely personal and extremely private. To the recipient, it's remarkably soothing and comforting and they experience that warm and fuzzy feeling. In all of this, you really stand out from the crowd as a caring Mortgage Professional.How many handwritten "Thank You" notes do you receive in the mail everyday? If your mailbox is anything like mine, I would guess that the number is probably zero. People just don't write "Thank You" notes these days, but you should. The logic here is...if someone goes out of their wa

They painted a colorful picture as they gave some guidance for future quarters but proceed with caution as competition is going to get fierce in 2006/07 and the rising oil prices will drive up their shipping cost and will eat into their earning ability..
