Houston Craigslist Cars, Knowledge is Power

If you are in the market for a used or a new car, then you are reading an article that would prepare you to take the best decision, or at least one that won't make you feel bad the next morning. Houston Craigslist cars is included in the title due to the rapid increase in it's popularity, but even if you are intending to buy through the traditional channels, Houston Craigslist cars is a good tool to provide with an idea of the fair market value for the car.

Whether you are buying through Houston Craigslist cars, or the traditional channels, you will feel only better about your final decision after the completion of this article. Hence, knowledge is Power. The more knowledgeable you are about the deal, the more power you would enact on the salesperson. If you are familiar with numbers involved in the deal, believe me, it would be almost impossible for salespeople to have you pay more than you are supposed to.

Suppose you go to a furniture store, and see a nice couch for $200, later that day you walk into another furniture store, and a salesperson tries to sell you an identical couch for $300. It is in the salespersons' vested interest to sell you the couch for $300, which ultimately means more commission for him or her. Think about the different facts that the salesperson is going to say to you to convince you that their higher price is justified? Will you do it? I hope not, because you saw the exact same couch sitting at the other store for $100 less.

Lets apply this example to car buying. If you were to walk into a car lot with very limited information of what the car should cost, then there is no way you can know if an identical is waiting for you at a different lot, and of course, salespeople will try their best for you not to leave the lot until you make a decision. Never be rushed, if the car is not willing to wait for you for 24 hours, then you were not supposed to buy it. Watch out for salespeople that try to get you excited about the car, this leads to disabling the rational side of your brain. To end this article, it is to your best interest to find out the amount the dealer paid for the car. Allow them to make profit, but not excessive. The price the dealer paid for the car is very easily found by looking up the trade in value of the car on Kelly Blue Book, or the loan value on NADA.

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER ONLY IF APPLIED ACCURATELY

People say knowledge is power. That is only partly true. Knowledge is potential power. It is knowledge that is accurately applied that is power. If you know what to do, you are only a potential success until you act on what you know.

Be willing to take big risks. I know the devil is going to speak to you repeatedly, "What if it does not happen? You too ask him the question, "What if it happens".

John L Masson said. "When you excuse yourself, you excuse yourself". There is no sound reason in the world why you should not succeed. May be you have convinced yourself that it is not people like you that break through big time. That is not true. Your disqualification is your qualification.

Have you noticed that rich people do not have two heads? They are human beings like you. If they are qualified, you are qualified too. God loves us all the same.

Be Persistent

If you are doing something, be persistent. If you do it and it does not work out, try again. You must have a good attitude toward failure. That you tried and failed does not make you a failure. If you tried and you failed, and you now fail to try again that is when you are a failure.

Failures are simply successful people who gave up too soon. Successful people are failures who refuse to give up. That is the difference; you will not be the first person to make a mistake.

If you have books on success, but have none on failure, your library is not complete. Find a book that can help you to deal with failure or else your journey will be terminated too soon. In fact, the best way to increase your success rate is to increase your failure rate, because success is born out of failure. If as a professional footballer and striker, you insist that you will only kick the ball towards the goal when you are absolutely certain you will score a goal, we will soon forget about you.

Success is born out of failure. Turn failure into fertilizer and plant the seed of your new vision in your past failure. When you look into the back yard of successful people you will see the relics of ideas that did not work. Successful people, usually, do not tell you about their failures and mistakes. That is why you assume their life is different from yours; you assume that there is just a magic wand they have, the Midas touch. You assume anything they do just succeed.

Go and ask them; you will be astonished what stories of innumerable failed attempt you will hear.

Learn the lesson. Forget the details. You thought your last failure was the worst one in the world; some people have committed bigger blunders than that. Learn the lesson, forget the details and try again.

God is faithful, He will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it. If you carry a negative attitude, you will not find the way of escape. You need to relax. You need to have peace in your heart. But bear this fact in your mind, there is always a way. Seek and you will find it.

Real Estate Investing Articles and the Big Lie That Knowledge is Power

Who said Knowledge is Power? Did You Fall For this Big Lie? I get concerned sometimes when I see people, especially those who read one too many real estate investing articles, believing that "knowledge is power".

The truth is- the world is full of educated "failures", is it not?

If knowledge were power, we'd all be taking orders from professors, librarians would run governments, and you would welcome the door-to-door Encyclopedia salesman warmly into your home.

And everyone who'd ever read a bunch of real estate investing articles would be a RE mogul multimillionaire.

That's just not the way it is, though, is it?

No, knowledge is not power. Not in and of itself, anyway.

Applied knowledge is true power.

It's not what you 'know' but what you DO with what you know that will bring about your greatest results.

I write REI articles in part because I'm driven to write, so I may as well provide some kind of benefit to somebody...by sharing what I know with others.

And while I can attest from personal experience that you can gain invaluable knowledge when you make reading RE investing articles part of your regular schedule, it's just not enough to get the knowledge. You must utilize all resources at your disposal to implement the knowledge recentyl acquired.

You can accumulate a lot of insider information on powerful strategies like Wholesaling and Quick Flips, Retirement Plans, Negotiation Strategies, Creative Financing, Asset Protection, and much, much more....

But unless you DO something with what you 'know'...nothing great can come of all that knowledge! Would you agree?

That too I can attest from personal experience.

Only applied knowledge is power.

But don't let me discourage you from reading RE investing articles.

To be honest, I truly believe that when you apply the principles in many of these valuable RE investing articles the doors of opportunity will open for you. It is always a good idea to find ways to implement these ideas right away.

You just have to be ready and willing to ably walk through them.

Are you now ready?

To special educate or not (Part 1)

To special educate or not . . .

For many reasons we as a society and educational institution cant accept that some kids will always be behind. One reason for this that you dont hear discussed is grade levels, which have a negative cumulative effect for roughly half the school population. In college everybody has heard of or learned about the bell curve; which tells us it is normal and expected to have a range of abilities. Yet it amazes me how society, politicians, and educators seem to forget this fact. In education classes teachers even learn that in a given class you can expect a six year grade range. In other words, in a 5th grade class there will be kids with reading levels ranging from 2nd through 8th grades. Time out; did anybody ever tell the general public this? Also, how did this information apparently get erased from the memories of every professional working in the schools? Getting back to grade levels, consider this. The bell curve tells us that half the children will be below average. So in any grade, half the students will be behind. Think about when students start out in first grade. Half of the students will leave first grade below average (or below their peers), or below where they should be at the end of first grade. This cycle continues for most of these kids school years because they dont catch up. And we wonder why so many kids drop out when they reach high school? They have already experienced years of failure. Grade levels tell them, and remind them daily that they are failures. If you dont think so, try explaining to them year after year why they are behind.

Another way society has denied the real-life differences among children and tried to deal with the crippling effects of grade levels is through special education. The development of the categories of special education was influenced more by politics and social pressures than by research. Even today, the few categories that include the vast majority of children in special education (Leaning Disability) are highly subjective in their definitions and decisions of who is labeled and placed into special education. Research into the effectiveness of special education has shown that once a child is placed (get a label), his/her chances of graduating greatly decrease. Of course, nobody tells parents this at an IEP meeting! The child in special education receives an Individualized Education Program (IEP), which sounds impressive. Who wouldnt want an education program tailored to their needs? Well, the problem is that the goals in an IEP are at a level far below his grade placement. Whats even worse is that most of these students never get up to grade level, or catch up. So what happens when one of these children gets to high school and theyre still reading at a third grade level? I have been in many uncomfortable meetings trying to explain this to parents. But hey, they have a label, and have received professional help, so its ok to be years behind, or sometimes even nearly illiterate. The IEP becomes a license to fail.

Special education is just a reflection of the problem with our unrealistic expectations. We cant accept the fact that some kids will always be behind, no matter what we do. Since the 1970s, when the government passed massive special education legislation, the numbers have swelled, and it has been plagued with controversy. Its interesting once again how people in education so readily accept research when it seems acceptable, or they are told by the higher ups that they will accept it, but when its to the contrary educators and legislators turn the other way. The research has shown for a long time now that special education is not working. Kids who are in special education dont catch up, and they are more likely to drop out. I believe this research because I see it every day. Another thing the research tells us is that there are no clear and consistent interventions (treatments) that distinguish the children identified with the disabilities that represent the majority of kid s in special education. The disabilities that comprise the majority of kids in special education are Learning Disabled, Mentally Impaired, Emotionally Disturbed/Behavior Disorder, and Other Health Impaired (this one has so many kids because ADHD falls under it). In other words, when an Individualized Education Program (IEP) is made for these children, which specifies the goals and objective of how each child will be taught, they differ very little from disability to disability. A learning disabled (LD) childs IEP will look very much like a mentally impaired (MI) childs IEP, and so on, with all the various comparisons. And I believe this research because I have seen thousands of IEPs. The interventions always involve something like repetition, a multisensory approach (hearing and seeing it, and hands on), having directions read to them, and extended time limits. If you looked at a childs IEP goals and objectives, and didnt know their eligibility, you would have a very hard ti me figuring out what their eligibility (disability) was. What it really boils down to is we are bringing the material down to their level. If a learning disabled child is reading at a second grade level, he will have the same (or very similar) goals and objectives as a mentally impaired child reading at a second grade level. What needs to happen is that we need to teach kids at whatever level their at (remember the bell curve); but we have to stop pretending that all kids are the same, and hiding as many of the ones that we can get away with that arent at grade level or behaving in special education. This is malpractice and we have to stop doing it.

After special education legislation in the 70s it was common for schools to have self-contained classrooms. These are classrooms in which special education students spend most or all of their school day. The class size is small, with paraprofessionals to assist the teacher. As with many things in our society, there were more than enough researchers and experts to provide the proof demonstrating the reasons and benefits for these classrooms. Well in the 90s this all changed with self-contained classrooms being gutted from school districts. When I started in the field in 1990, I worked under a principal who had already been in education for about 25 years. He told me how they (people in education) had worked so hard to get these classrooms and now they were getting rid of them. And of course the experts had all the research to show why we needed to get rid of these classrooms. I guess they got it wrong the first time? I dont know, but maybe somebody should tell the taxpayer! The research and experts once again helped lead us on another humongous, costly wild goose chase, which only delayed the inevitable. For years the learning and progress of students who were learning and behavior problems were sheltered and protected from scrutiny and real accountability. Basically, as long as you had an IEP it was OK to be far behind all of your school years. And if your behavior was so bad that you werent learning, that was OK because you had an IEP. I know this sounds harsh and cruel, but dont misunderstand me. Teachers, schools, and districts were doing what they could, and trying to work within the rules they were given to try and educate these problem children. As more kids were becoming more problematic, the schools were expected to deal with them. So kids were often given a label, and any label would do. By the 90s it became obvious that there were too many kids in special education. After all, how could there be that many disabled children? So of co urse the research was provided to show that self-contained classrooms and labeling were actually detrimental to these children. Nevertheless, the reason the number of children in special education was growing is because there was a growing number of children that the regular education classrooms could not deal with. But that didnt matter, and we were pressured to reduce the number of kids in special education!

Starting a Business With Unique Internet Business Ideas

When you are thinking about running a business online there is so much that you can do. There are millions of different ideas out there that you can run a successful business with, you simply must pick one. However, when you are going through your list of ideas, you might want to find one that is unique. This will help you to stand out more, as well as to succeed because you are something that is not appearing everyday. The more you standout online, the better you are going to be able to garner web traffic.

One of the most unique web business ideas out there is to simply open an online store. Is it impossible? A big no! However, do not make this another one of those boring web stores that sells the exact same items as Amazon. You should try to sell something like t-shirts that have pictures of famous people on them, or maybe even something that it so controversial and provocative, you must think it up yourself. The sky is the limit, but a lawyer might need to ge t involved if you hit up against certain subjects. Free speech is great, but make sure you are within the realms of what it covers!

Now that you have a basic starting point, you might want to try something even more unique. There is quite a bit of material out there, you must simply go after it. You could start a site that took in the days news and made comments on it. While some might find it funny, others could find you angering and controversial. This is an idea that you could really make some big bucks with, as a pundit, and maybe even spin off into your own tv show.

Internet business ideas do not always have to be something that you plan out. Some of the best internet businesses have come from simply having an idea and putting it into action. For example, Google did not plan to become involved in advertising as heavily as they did. They simply happened to try it, found that it worked, and went for the big time. The more you try, the more that you w ill learn about what you are doing. Sometimes, you may fail. This is what happens in life. Nearly 80% of businesses fail within the first year, so if you are able to get an idea up and off the ground within a year and keep it running, you are doing well!

When you are thinking abut internet business ideas you should always think about what you could make a living off of. While some internet businesses might be nice for a hobby, the time that they take can be quite hefty. The more likely you are able to make the stuff you are doing into a full time business, the better off you are going to be. Grow something positive and make a difference by starting your own internet business ideas that make people really amazed!

My View On The Internet Business Ideas Out There And How To Get Back Links

Is there not something left on the internet that has not been bastardized, polluted to death in the name of building our own private little internet home business web sites? My personal internet business ideas on building and getting back links may seem to be a bit out there, bust I am sick of seeing the lengths that people will go to get back links to their web sites.

Back links are there for one reason, to get traffic and to eventually get a higher page rank, okay, two reasons. Money makes the internet world go around, so to this end, we need traffic to our web sites and to get this traffic, we want links, lots of links, we can never get enough links. I recently got an e- mail from a person who was selling back links, not 20 a month, not 100 a month, but 60,000 a MONTH, every month, for a fee of course.

60,000 back links a month, every month, which is unimaginable that anyone could possible think that any search engine would not recognize this as the worst possible black hat trick and close your site down faster than you could imagine. If nothing else, this just shows you how a reasonable internet business idea, getting back links to ones site, can be turned into a scam over night. Just a reminder to any one who might be considering using this persons service, back links when they appear on your internet home business site, have to be organic and genuine, or at the very least, appear to be such

The value of back links is that in the eyes of the search engines, they appear as a vote of confidence in what you and your web site stands for. Getting back links to your site is a popularity contest of sorts, the more votes your web site gets the more links it gets; the search engines view this as a very good thing. The goal of the search engines is to give their customers the very best search results, our goals as internet home business owners is to get as much traffic to our sites as possible, there is a conflict of interest between the search engines and us owners

The prevailing internet business ideas on how to get back links is that it does not matter how you get them as long as you do. One of the most annoying and pathetic ways people use to get back links is to post on someone else's blog, forum, web site without having any idea of what the sites are about. So called legitimate web site advisers and gurus will openly tell you to visit a site, make a post, with your URL some where in there and then make some sort of comment that will trick the owner of that site into leaving the post up, thus giving you a back link

What makes this very aggravating is we, everyone on the internet, is now left with this dilemma, what is real and what is just a scam to get a back link? Every post, every comment on any ones blog or forum, what is a real comment, what is just a sham to get a back link, how do any of us know the real from the fake? I own several blogs, I get comments every day, "nice blog, enjoyed the article", what do I do with this? Is it even from a real person, or is it a scrapper looking for links? My personal internet business idea on this topic is this, do not become a bottom feeder just to get a back link, it hurts the whole internet and it weakens the whole concept for all of us.

Great Internet Business Ideas for Home Businesses

If you believe that you have had great Internet business ideas, you aren't alone. There are so many Internet entrepreneurs now that it can be difficult to compete with them all. If you start a business from scratch with a brand new idea, it may not get much attention as you try to figure out how to market it. Determining who it should be marketed to and what price point will keep customers coming in as well as generating enough profits to live on requires a great deal of thought. Luckily, there are some great Internet business ideas that don't require you to do any of that.

Direct Sales Business Ideas

If you choose to go with a direct sales model, there are many different ideas to choose from, but not all come with the type of training and information that you need to make it a success quickly.

Instead, look for programs that come with the marketing information already contained within the system. That cuts down on your frustration as well as your learning time. It allows you to create a business that starts attracting customers right away instead of dragging out the process for a year or more. A direct sales company that offers this kind of help and training is one that can help you transition from working within the corporate world to working full time from home making even more money than you did before.

Internet Business Marketing for a Home Business

While the options presented by Internet business ideas vary greatly, the process of marketing online doesn't vary that much from company to company. There are a few basic principles that every business owner needs to understand, and then it just takes a regular effort to maintain momentum.

The major principles to keep in mind are the audience, the message and the availability of your website. The audience which will be most interested in your message will depend upon the price of the item you sell and its intent. With a direct marketing business, you are told who your audience is so that you don't have to figure it out by yourself. Once you know your audience, you can create a message that caters to it, ensuring a better conversion rate for your business. Then, you make your site easy to find by creating plenty of links.

Your Own Home Business Ideas

Once you have a home business in place and you have marketing online that will help people find you, you can take your great Internet business ideas and put them to work for you. Maybe you have a great marketing blog idea or just a smart way of doing business, you can put it all to work for you with your own home business.

7 Steps to Write a Saleable Book

Have you given up on writing your saleable book this year? Don't throw in the towel yet! I'm convinced you can still do it. You can get started and even complete your short book in a few weeks.

There's no one holding you back but the face looking back at you in the mirror. Yes, you know the one. Don't miss out on the big benefits your book will bring in the coming years.

You can write a saleable book and create an additional income to help pay off bills or take a much needed vacation. Get your book done and dream a bigger dream. Imagine raising your fees four times higher because your skill level has increased and you have author behind your name.

Now that you are properly motivated, here are seven simple steps that will get you started:

1. Start with a plan to complete your book in excellence. Before you write one word inside the book, write your plan. You may miss the mark of a saleable book if you don't take the time to plan. Create a simple program of how your book will be written, how long it will take and so on. Then write a book marketing plan including your book's topic and table of contents. Write down who will most likely buy your book (targeted reader) and then write your promotional plan.

2. Setup passion points that will guide you and your readers to the end of your book. Every part of your book should be written and designed with a passionate but promotional slant. There are strategic points throughout your book that will help make up your potential reader's mind about whether to purchase your book or even keep reading.

To start with, create a hot title that's simple but grabs attention. Discover ways to seal the sale of your book with an interesting introduction and table of contents. Write sales copy for the back cover that's loaded with reader benefits and testimonials about your great book.

3. Sizzle your titles to sell more books. Learn how to write skillful titles that sizzle. You will use this skill in not just creating a grab you by the eyeballs book title but you will need it in writing titles for your chapters, book sections, list bullet points, brochures, booklets and website headings. You will need it in writing your back cover, sales letter headings, lists and sub-headings. In fact, you will use it in writing any marketing piece you use.

4. Mine your knowledge and experiences like gold. Using these simple steps to write a saleable book, you will pull nuggets and blocks of information from your speeches, workshops, classes, school papers and brochures. More than likely, you have already done the research needed to validate your information. If not, take the time to do the research and validate each block of information you find.

5. Create framework to structure your chapters. Every non-fiction book has a repeating set structure. For example, each chapter will start with a chapter number, chapter title, introduction, a set of tips or instruction and a chapter summary. That set framework creates the structure for each chapter. You can set up a chapter template using the repeating structure for each chapter. So that after you've mined your blocks of information from your knowledge and experiences, you can simply put them into place in each chapter template.

Becoming a Foreign Currency Trader

One of the most profitable careers you may want to try is becoming a foreign currency trader. You might find that so many people these days consider the industry of foreign currency exchange. This is mostly because currencies never get outdated. It's a business that actually does not feel like a business because there is a necessity to trade currencies all over the world. Nations need to have their money exchange for something else to facilitate trading and the flow of exports and imports.

But before you become a foreign currency trader, you might need to evaluate your current professional standing first. Although there are no hard rules prior to entering the forex industry, you need to at least have a solid grasp of trading. You need to understand how risks and forecasting play such a vital tool in keeping your game as a currency trader very much solid. In forex, you also need to be more aware of the different currencies and just how profitable they may be.

The Advantages of Being a Foreign Currency Trader

There are actually lots of different perks that can be associated with being a currency trader. One of these is that the business never goes out of style. As mentioned, it never goes passe but only gets developed further. You have plenty of room for learning in foreign currency trading and yoru success actually depends on how much time and effort you can put into the craft. You are the master of your game and you can take full control of your profits. Another advantage is that you also get to stock up on different currencies so if you are a seasoned traveler, you will have access to different currencies much easier than the average person would.

There's also the issue of establishing lots of international connections. As a foreign currency trader, you will have a bigger chance of getting to know foreign professionals who are into forex and may also have other business ventures. Who knows, yo u might just be able to strike a valuable partnership with them.

The Down Sides of Being a Foreign Currency Trader

Just like any other business, being a foreign currency trader also has its own down sides. One is that the business has the tendency to be very demanding. Before you know it, you might be asked to do a lot of things and buyers and sellers may ask you to make quick decisions on whether to trade with them or not. There are also times when you need to keep up with changing trends in trading and you need to brush up on your skills from time to time.

Another challenging note to remember in the foreign currency trading arena is that you need to always be on the lookout for business ventures. You can't sit around and expect the buyers and sellers to come to you. You need to find a way that you can effectively position yourself to get noticed by these people and for them to do business with you.

To special educate or not (Part 1)

To special educate or not . . .

For many reasons we as a society and educational institution cant accept that some kids will always be behind. One reason for this that you dont hear discussed is grade levels, which have a negative cumulative effect for roughly half the school population. In college everybody has heard of or learned about the bell curve; which tells us it is normal and expected to have a range of abilities. Yet it amazes me how society, politicians, and educators seem to forget this fact. In education classes teachers even learn that in a given class you can expect a six year grade range. In other words, in a 5th grade class there will be kids with reading levels ranging from 2nd through 8th grades. Time out; did anybody ever tell the general public this? Also, how did this information apparently get erased from the memories of every professional working in the schools? Getting back to grade levels, consider this. The bell curve tells us that half the children will be below average. So in any grade, half the students will be behind. Think about when students start out in first grade. Half of the students will leave first grade below average (or below their peers), or below where they should be at the end of first grade. This cycle continues for most of these kids school years because they dont catch up. And we wonder why so many kids drop out when they reach high school? They have already experienced years of failure. Grade levels tell them, and remind them daily that they are failures. If you dont think so, try explaining to them year after year why they are behind.

Another way society has denied the real-life differences among children and tried to deal with the crippling effects of grade levels is through special education. The development of the categories of special education was influenced more by politics and social pressures than by research. Even today, the few categories that include the vast majority of children in special education (Leaning Disability) are highly subjective in their definitions and decisions of who is labeled and placed into special education. Research into the effectiveness of special education has shown that once a child is placed (get a label), his/her chances of graduating greatly decrease. Of course, nobody tells parents this at an IEP meeting! The child in special education receives an Individualized Education Program (IEP), which sounds impressive. Who wouldnt want an education program tailored to their needs? Well, the problem is that the goals in an IEP are at a level far below his grade placement. Whats even worse is that most of these students never get up to grade level, or catch up. So what happens when one of these children gets to high school and theyre still reading at a third grade level? I have been in many uncomfortable meetings trying to explain this to parents. But hey, they have a label, and have received professional help, so its ok to be years behind, or sometimes even nearly illiterate. The IEP becomes a license to fail.

Special education is just a reflection of the problem with our unrealistic expectations. We cant accept the fact that some kids will always be behind, no matter what we do. Since the 1970s, when the government passed massive special education legislation, the numbers have swelled, and it has been plagued with controversy. Its interesting once again how people in education so readily accept research when it seems acceptable, or they are told by the higher ups that they will accept it, but when its to the contrary educators and legislators turn the other way. The research has shown for a long time now that special education is not working. Kids who are in special education dont catch up, and they are more likely to drop out. I believe this research because I see it every day. Another thing the research tells us is that there are no clear and consistent interventions (treatments) that distinguish the children identified with the disabilities that represent the majority of kid s in special education. The disabilities that comprise the majority of kids in special education are Learning Disabled, Mentally Impaired, Emotionally Disturbed/Behavior Disorder, and Other Health Impaired (this one has so many kids because ADHD falls under it). In other words, when an Individualized Education Program (IEP) is made for these children, which specifies the goals and objective of how each child will be taught, they differ very little from disability to disability. A learning disabled (LD) childs IEP will look very much like a mentally impaired (MI) childs IEP, and so on, with all the various comparisons. And I believe this research because I have seen thousands of IEPs. The interventions always involve something like repetition, a multisensory approach (hearing and seeing it, and hands on), having directions read to them, and extended time limits. If you looked at a childs IEP goals and objectives, and didnt know their eligibility, you would have a very hard ti me figuring out what their eligibility (disability) was. What it really boils down to is we are bringing the material down to their level. If a learning disabled child is reading at a second grade level, he will have the same (or very similar) goals and objectives as a mentally impaired child reading at a second grade level. What needs to happen is that we need to teach kids at whatever level their at (remember the bell curve); but we have to stop pretending that all kids are the same, and hiding as many of the ones that we can get away with that arent at grade level or behaving in special education. This is malpractice and we have to stop doing it.

After special education legislation in the 70s it was common for schools to have self-contained classrooms. These are classrooms in which special education students spend most or all of their school day. The class size is small, with paraprofessionals to assist the teacher. As with many things in our society, there were more than enough researchers and experts to provide the proof demonstrating the reasons and benefits for these classrooms. Well in the 90s this all changed with self-contained classrooms being gutted from school districts. When I started in the field in 1990, I worked under a principal who had already been in education for about 25 years. He told me how they (people in education) had worked so hard to get these classrooms and now they were getting rid of them. And of course the experts had all the research to show why we needed to get rid of these classrooms. I guess they got it wrong the first time? I dont know, but maybe somebody should tell the taxpayer! The research and experts once again helped lead us on another humongous, costly wild goose chase, which only delayed the inevitable. For years the learning and progress of students who were learning and behavior problems were sheltered and protected from scrutiny and real accountability. Basically, as long as you had an IEP it was OK to be far behind all of your school years. And if your behavior was so bad that you werent learning, that was OK because you had an IEP. I know this sounds harsh and cruel, but dont misunderstand me. Teachers, schools, and districts were doing what they could, and trying to work within the rules they were given to try and educate these problem children. As more kids were becoming more problematic, the schools were expected to deal with them. So kids were often given a label, and any label would do. By the 90s it became obvious that there were too many kids in special education. After all, how could there be that many disabled children? So of co urse the research was provided to show that self-contained classrooms and labeling were actually detrimental to these children. Nevertheless, the reason the number of children in special education was growing is because there was a growing number of children that the regular education classrooms could not deal with. But that didnt matter, and we were pressured to reduce the number of kids in special education!

5 Easy Steps to Help You Determine Your Financial Status So You Can Confidently Leave Your J O B To Run Your Home Based Business

It doesn't have to be unpleasant or messy, but it does have to be done. You may be well on your way to building a full-time home-based business or may just be tossing the idea around right now, but having a clear understanding of your current and future financial commitments will play a MAJOR role in your strategic plan for business success.

Home-based business owners don't normally wake up one day and say, "Yep. I'm quitting my job today and starting a home-based business." There is usually a period of time for contemplation, exploration, making the decision, creating a plan, and then starting to execute steps within the plan to achieve the final goal.

The process can take anywhere from several months to several years before an employee is in a position to walk away from her job to begin life as a full-time entrepreneur.

Being financially responsible is critical to not only home-based business success, but to create the financial cushion required to transition from being an employee to a full-time entrepreneur.

Understanding your current financial position is mandatory and doesn't have to take more than an hour of your time if you follow the five basic steps below.

1. Calculate how much money you currently have sitting in bank accounts, investments, registered retirement savings plans, GIC's, real estate, etc. If you were to leave your job today, would there be any form of payout (ie. sick plan credit, pension plan contributions, unused holidays, anniversary pay, etc.)?

2. Determine how much you earn on a monthly basis either through employment, child support payments, rental properties, dividends, your existing home-based business, etc.

3. Record your monthly household expenses. Some examples to get you started are:

- mortgage/rent

- property tax/house and mortgage insurance

- utilities (heat/water/hydro)

- phone/cable/satellite/Internet

- yard maintenance/snow removal

- groceries and household supplies

- vehicle fuel, insurance and maintenance costs

- medical

- child care

- personal care (hair/nails/clothing)

- entertainment (movies/sports/books/plays)

- club memberships, publications, etc.

4. List your monthly business expenses, for example:

- Internet

- phone (separate business line)

- autoresponder

- shopping cart

- long distance

- bank fees

- office supplies

- tools

- web hosting

- marketing

- advertising

- part-time help

- coaching services

- shipping/postage, etc.

5. Identify your outstanding liabilities such as:

- credit card balances

- personal loans

- lines of credit, etc.

When you calculate your earnings and revenue on an annual basis and deduct your personal and business expenses. How much do you have remaining at the end of the year? Can a portion of this be put aside to build your financial cushion?

If your current business revenue isn't enough to cover your business and personal expenses and if you were to quit work today, how long would you be able to survive on your other revenue sources or savings and assets, taking into account your monthly expenses?

Have you considered all unexpected expenditures that could arise in the next year or two?

Is your car running on its last two cylinders?

Has your furnace almost reached its life expectancy?

Is your vacuum cleaner starting to growl at you?

Is your partner's job secure or do you foresee unstable times ahead?

This exercise is by no means intended to scare or discourage. Financial stability is an area that needs to be addressed so you can keep your feet firmly planted and plans realistic as you build your home-based business.

Understanding where you are and what potentially lies ahead will help you make sound financial decisions as you plan your future.

After completing these five steps, you may realize your dream to break free of your job might take a year longer than expected, or you may learn that in order to move forward at a quicker pace, you may have to bring in a partner or investor, or learn to leverage your time, money and effort more efficiently to expedite progress.

Perhaps seeking professional guidance on reducing debt and managing finances is in order?

No matter what results you generate, don't let them shake your spirit. Knowing exactly where you are financially will help you make informed, practical decisions so you can create your ideal future.

To increase your level of success at home-based business, make sure you have a financial advisor and accountant as part of your success team.

Becoming Wealthy through the Home-Based Business Opportunity

Thanks to the Internet, more people than ever before are discovering that they can launch their own home-based business. Essentially, all you need is a computer, an Internet connection, and the right home-based business opportunity. The question then becomes, how to you select the best home based business opportunity? Here are four steps you can take to help you decide which opportunity is right for you.

Determine Your Goals

Before committing to an income opportunity at home, you first need to determine your goals. Are you interested in supplementing your income from your current job? Do you wish to stay at home with your children, but bring in a second income? Are you retired and want to supplement your pension or social security? Or are you tired of the nine-to-five grind and want to make a full time income by working only part time? Perhaps you have a specific financial goal in mind, such as a vacation or college fund, or maybe you want to harness the power of the Internet and become genuinely wealthy. Determining your financial goals will help you find the best home based business opportunity.

Can You Sell?

Many times, a home-based business opportunity requires you to sell products. Are you a salesperson at heart, or does the thought of calling people and selling products make you cringe? If you're a born salesperson, there are any number of opportunities that allow you to excel. However, if you're not a natural salesperson, there's no reason to go outside your comfort zone. Even if you try, you probably won't succeed.

Instead, find a home-based business opportunity that harnesses the power of the Internet to provide you with an automated, hands-off lead generation and sales system. Typically, these kinds of opportunities offer products - such as software or information products - that essentially sell themselves. The companies that offer these kinds of business opportunities will provide you with the tools you need to help you succeed, such as your own website, training, and marketing support.

Seek Out Flexibility

You may be in the position to work predetermined hours from home, but the majority of people who seek an income opportunity at home need flexibility. Perhaps you have school-age children, or maybe you are a night owl and want to work from 10:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. The best home based business opportunity enables you to work the hours that are convenient to you and that allows you to access the vital information you need 24-7-365.

The Right Compensation Plan

There are almost as many compensation plans as there are home-based business opportunities. When you're reviewing opportunities, make sure to compare apples to apples. Generally speaking, the best compensation plans give you 100% of every sale after your first two sales (which go to your immediate upline). You then receive the sales from the first two sales of each person in your downline, and their downline, and so forth to infinity. This type of compensation plan generally outperforms those that are commission-based because commission-based compensation plans typically are of greatest benefit to those at the top and leave relatively little profit for you.

When you find the best home based business opportunity, you can maximize your earning potential and truly become wealthy.

Business start up grants

If your thinking of starting a business or you're a small business owner, money is probably your biggest concern. Most business owners wonder if there is any funding available for starting up. the answer to that question of whether there is any funding available is yes, although, getting the funding that is available is a rather stressful and complicated process.

When your on the verge of setting up your business, there are countless schemes that you can take full advantage of. The schemes are designed so that it can encourage business growth so it can create jobs.

Here Is a list of the different type of grants you could be entitled to:

Direct grant

This grant is available For activities such as training, employment and capital investment projects

Repayable grants

In this scheme cash funding is offered for a project with the intention that the cash is paid out of future revenues. However, the main part of this grant is that if the project fails, the grant is written off completely with no risk to yourself.

Soft loan

A soft loan is a special type of grant where the terms and conditions of repayment are softer than they would be under normal financial circumstances. So, for example, the interest rates may be less, or there may be no interest to pay at all, and the repayment terms could also be for a longer period, depending on your financial situation.

Equity finance

With equity finance a capital sum is injected into the business and the provider of the funds takes an equity share of the enterprise and when the value of the business increases the cash that was injected can then be returned. However, unlike venture capitalists, the expectations and requirements of the providers of public funds are usually less demanding, thus giving less experienced business men less to worry about.

Access to resources

it can be the case that small firms do not posses the physical resources or facilities they need in order to develop particular projects. In the same way there are a number of initiatives that can help overcome these concerns by providing access to publicly owned facilities.

So as you can see there are several different types of grants available to the business owners out there today looking to start up or expand, the trick is picking the right grant for your circumstances and then having a good enough reason for needing the grant so that you can then be given the grant, as I said earlier, it's getting the grant that is the complicated part

Explaining Guaranteed Finance And Loans - Finance

There are many different types of guaranteed loans. A guaranteed loan is a loan that is secured by an agency or organization. If the borrower defaults the guarenteer of the loan agrees to pay back part of the loan. The reason for guaranteed loans is to help certain groups of people secure financing.

Two of the most popular guaranteed loans are loans for business start ups and home buying. The Small Business Administration offers guaranteed loans for people staring a business. They do so to help the small business market grow and to give people a chance to own their own business. There are various organizations that help to guarantee loans for home buying. Most of these are guaranteed loans for first time home buyers or for those who are under a certain income level. These organizations do this to help people be able to get financing for homes when they otherwise would be unable to.

Guaranteed loans do not mean anyone can qualify. A person still must go through the process of finding a lender and qualifying for a loan. However, a guaranteed loan does lower the risk to the lender and can make getting a loan easier.

The first thing is finding a lender that offers guaranteed loans through the organization of the borrowers choice. Not all lenders will offer guaranteed loans for all organizations. It is important that a borrower approaches the loan process by telling lenders they are wanting a guaranteed loan and what type of guaranteed loan they are wanting to get.

One thing that often confuses people is that the organizations that guarantee the loans do not actually offer the loan. Many people think they do offer funding, but they do not. However, a person must still qualify with the guarenteer as they would with the lender.

The process can be long and often difficult. However, a person can make things easier by having all the documentation they need, like proof of income and credit information. They will have to fill out paperwork with both the organization that is guaranteeing the loan and the lender.

Getting a guaranteed loan is not a simple process, but it can be very valuable for someone who can not get a traditional loan. The things to keep in mind are that credit is still going to be important. Also income will be important. These organizations are risking a loss of money, too, should you default so they are going to be picky like lenders.

Guaranteed loans can be a great option for someone who fits the criteria of the guarenteer. They can be a way to get a lender to okay a loan they would have otherwise denied. The only way to find out if you can get a guaranteed loan is to try. It all starts with finding the organization that will guarantee a loan you need and then going trough their qualifying process. Then it is off to find a lender and you are well on your way to securing a guaranteed loan.

User Review

Wow! This site rocks. I've been surfing the net trying to find information on an upcoming adventure I'm thinking about embarking on when I came across Sexmaps.net. Now, you don't know me and probably never will, but I've got to tell as many as I can about this place. First let me say a bit more about myself. I'm what you'd call a young professional. I'm 28 and work for a large company here in the States. I make pretty good money and I'm single with no attachments to any specific woman. Another thing I do have is a very healthy sex drive. I try to keep up with the latest trends and in doing so I heard several people at the local bar talking about sex vacations. Hmmm, a sex vacation. What a concept. This certainly peaked my interest.

I began surfing the net by trying to find information on the topic of sex vacations. When I Google the subject I came across lots of sites. But I was really turned off by most of them. The sites I found were either only for swingers, not my bag, or were poorly done. During my travels on the net I came across sexmaps.net. Boy was it just what I was looking for. A site that not only allowed me to pick a location anywhere in the world, but it also let me find what interested me by category. Whether you are looking for a bit of fun and want to find something locally, or if you want to travel to an exotic location in search of some naughty fun. Sexmaps.net is your resource!

Now I've always wanted to go to one of those exotic places we all hear about. A place where the sun never seems to set and the women a free and easy. A place like Rio. All I needed to do was go to sexmaps.net and there was everything I needed to explore my trip. The home page has a built in search engine where I entered Rio de Janeiro in the Search by Location box and the type of sex business I was looking for in the Search by Business box and away I went.

This very cool site offers almost every type of sex business imaginable. For example you can search under such activities as sex clubs, TV clubs, BDSM clubs, strip clubs, massages, fetishes, male and female escort services for both men and women to name just a few. In fact there were business that I didn't even know existed. One of the really neat things is that this site caters to specific communities such as the gay and lesbian, bi, straight, fetish, and other interests. And these are legitimate businesses, not some seedy fly-by-night rip-off joint.

The forum area was a hot. I hooked up with a couple of people who had the same sexual interest as me and was able to learn a whole lot more about places listed on the site. The reviews were helpful as well. Here I could get the lowdown, good and bad, on sexual services before I spent my hard earned cash.

Another really neat feature is the maps and the links to sex businesses. You can go anywhere in the world using the map system Sexmaps.net has. Or if you're like me I wanted to read about what services were offered under Strip Clubs (my fantasy). I entered Rio in the location box and Sex Clubs in the business box and presto, I was given information about all the sex clubs in Rio that were listed on the site. And the description for some of them made for really good reading. In addition, the good folks at Sexmaps.net added in links to many of the businesses.

I found the user reviews to be especially helpful and fun to read. Users are invited to add their own review of a business for others to see. It's really cool to read about real experiences written by real people. I'm sure to use a business that has a positive user review rather than depend on some paid slick writers "positive" report. Another nice feature is found under the tab marked Top Reviewers. Here you will find the best of the best reviews. I know that after reading the reviews I found this or that person written review to really stand out. The Top Reviewers tab lets me see all the reviews written by my favorite reviewer.

One of my favorite features, other than some very interesting videos and pictures (always a good thing) was something called Your Black Book. Once I became a member I could store all the information about places that tweaked my interest in one place so I could come back to them.

As I just mentioned in order to really get the most from the site you should become a member. Basic membership doesn't cost a thing. For those of us who take our sex seriously, Sexmaps.net does offer a premium membership. Premium membership brings you added stuff like raw, real video footage of sex workers in action, user generated content, amateur videos that people have filmed in their travels around the world sampling beautiful ladies, including prostitutes and related legal sex workers. After seeing what the premium offers you can be sure that's what I'm going to hook up with.

Did I leave anything out? In fact I did. When you visit the Sexmaps.net home page be sure to check out the right side of the page. There you'll find several interesting sponsored links. Just below those links is a nice idea: a featured business.

Sexmaps.net is as easy to use as any site I've found. A simple interface, clearly marked links and tabs, and an informative How it Works tab. Very intuitive. Because Sexmaps.net is continually being updated with new content, it's the kind of site that you keep going back to. Check it out, I think you'll be as surprised and pleased as I was.

Site Review

I started today's review intending to focus on those sites that promise you a sexual adventure. More specifically those sites that help you, the reader, learn about the latest thing in the world of sex: how to plan your sexual holiday. You pick the activity that meets your need then match that activity with a locale you want to visit. Presto, you've got a sexual vacation. Rather than look at the run of the mill I've decided to focus on the newest, and in my opinion, the best site.

Sexmaps.net is an interactive guide for those adventurous men, and yes even women looking for that right location to take their sexual holiday. Sexual holidays are the very latest idea in things to do for recreation. And why not?

Each clearly marked as to where they will take you. Let's take a closer look at the world of sexual information available to you behind each tab.

First, there's Forum. An easy to read discussion place where users can post information about their experiences or simply ask questions about where they are planning to go. It's like a consumer's report on what to enjoy and what to avoid.

The next tab is Review a Service. Full of useful information this tab gives you not only reviews from people who have used the service, but you get a map to locate the service and a link to its web site.

For those who are really serious about sharing information with others this next tab, Top Reviewers, is your place to be heard. The Sexmaps.net people select the best of the best to be viewed here.

This tab allows you to keep track of what you have found on Sexmaps.net that matches your desires.

Another area is found under the tab marked Submit a Service. Here you and others users can add businesses that you discover. Lastly, there is a tab entitled

The feel of Sexmaps.net is that of a high end web site.

Sure there are others who claim to be directories for sexual adventure, but none that I've seen comes even close to doing it the way these people do.

Sexnet.net is not a static web site. It is continually adding information. This feature alone makes the site a worthwhile visit, but if you add to this the really professional layout of the site, the range of information available to the user, its ease of use, interactive maps, the custom ability to match your personal needs what you get is the complete package. Visit it soon; I think you'll like it.

Lead Your Tribe. Key Points from the book, Tribes, We Need You to Lead Us, by Seth Godin

I just finished reading the book Tribes, by Seth Godin. I found this book fascinating. Its about how groups form into tribes and how tribes are leading the changes that are happening in our world. Its also about the need for leaders to help tribes strengthen. (I purposely did not use the word grow, because size doesnt necessarily mean better or stronger).

A tribe is a group of people who stand together on a common issue or belief. The difference between a tribe and a crowd is that a tribe has leadership and a means for communicating.

Seth spends quite a bit of time talking about tribe leadership. The beauty of tribe leadership is that it can be shared. Sometimes one person has the lead, the next time someone else has leadership. Its kind of like people within an organization who are not the officially designated leaders, but are because they have the respect and dedication of their colleagues.

The concept of tribes applies to the team you build as prospects join your business. You are their leader. Something about you attracted them to you. As their leader, your role is to guide them, direct them, and encourage them to become leaders in their own right. After all, theyre creating their own tribe as people join under them.

When you first have a few people in tribe, its easy to keep in contact with them. But once your team gets bigger, you need to find other way of communicating. Options include emails, teleconferences, or webinars. You can use these to inform, train, exchange ideas, and discuss issues and problems.

Here are some points about tribes that are important to consider as youre building your team--your tribe:

- Tribes challenge the status quo. Building a business is going against the status quo of getting a good education, getting a good job, and living happily ever after. The status quo will resist and oppose you and your team. The tribe is your support.

- Tribes are global. An online business is global. The Internet made the world local. You can reach people from all over the world.

- Tribes have belief and faith. Building an online business takes belief and faith. You have to believe in the business, believe that you can build it, believe that others can build it, and have the faith to take action on those beliefs.

- Tribes are a niche; they have a common belief, interest, or cause. Your target market is your niche. Understand their interests and needs. Show how your business can support their interests and meet their needs. Tailor your internet marketing to your niche.

- Tribes are about connection. People joined you in business because you attracted them (connected with them at some level).

I highly recommend you read this book. It will help you see your team with a different set of eyes. Youll better understand how to cultivate and strengthen your tribe and will reap the reward by seeing your business grow.

When Seth wrote his book, he invited people to write an ebook about tribes. Its free. You can get it here: /TribeEbook

Happy Business Building,

Yoli
