Five ways to increase the efficiency of the business operation and its margins is probably one of the most overlooked areas to building and sustaining a profitable business. Yet, it has so much potential for making a positive impact on your bottom line.

Step 1: Control or Reduce Expenses

Getting a handle on where your money is going is critical. Most businesses have an incredible amount of waste, not only in actual money loss, but in human capital - loss or wasted time by their employees and staff. You need to keep a very tight reign over any expenditure, and money should only be spent after careful consideration and analysis as to how it will contribute to your bottom line profits.

One of the biggest money wasters is in the area of advertising and marketing. Careful testing of ads and promotions should be carried out in small runs before “rolling out” to your entire list or to the marketplace. Direct response ads with enticing and compelling offers should always be used in place of more traditional image or institutional ads.

When you consider how much it “costs” to bring in a dollar of actual profit and then see how easy it is to spend that money and not get a positive return, it’s not hard to see why so many businesses have a difficult time showing a positive balance at the end of the year.

Step 2: Increase Profit Margins

Profit margins are the difference between what the product and service you offer costs you to make, produce, purchase, or acquire, versus what you sell it for, and after deducting sales, processing, fulfillment, and delivery costs. The more steps there is in the process from production or acquisition to delivery, the more room there is for excess costs to creep in, and the lower profit margins will be.

Every effort should be made to monitor, control and slash costs whenever possible. Remember, a simple two-dollar savings on a twenty dollar product can add up to 20 percent more profit for your business.

Step 3: Create A Teamwork Approach

You cannot afford to run your business with a “super-star” mentality. Just as in any team sport, to be truly effective, it takes the entire team to make a company run smoothly and efficiently. Want to know how to make your company more responsive to the needs of your customers? Hold a team meeting. Invite people from every department - sales, manufacturing, accounting, fulfillment, delivery, even janitorial.

Have a brainstorming session and get every idea possible on the table. Don’t be judgmental. Get them all out. Then go through each idea and discuss how it can be used to more fully satisfy the needs of your customers. Sometimes the best ideas come from those you’d least expect.

Step 4: Manage Time More Effectively

Every person on the face of the earth has exactly the same number of hours, minutes and seconds in their day - every day. No one has an advantage in this area. It’s true that we all have different jobs, tasks, priorities, and responsibilities, and those all require different amounts of time, but you can significantly increase your available time if you take stock of where you are, what you’re spending your time on, and then effectively employ the principle of delegation.

By concentrating on things that matter most, or that only you can do, and then delegating the lesser important tasks to the lowest competency level person that can handle them, you’ll have more time to focus on the important priorities - the things that can make you real money.

Step 5. Increase Your Staff’s Knowledge And Competence

How many times have you called a business and asked a question, only to have the person on the other end of the phone act like they had no idea of what you were talking about or where to get the answer? It happens all the time. Unfortunately, with today’s labor laws it’s much more difficult to get rid of incompetent, rude or uncaring employees without the threat of lawsuits or some other problems.

Knowing how to hire the right employees is becoming more critical, as well as how they’re trained to handle different situations that come up in your business. It’s surprising how few businesses have regular what seems like old-fashioned staff or employee meetings. And for those who do, most of their meetings have to do with administrative duties, and are “reactive” in their approach.

By changing your focus and conducting “pro-active meetings on how to deal with certain situations, sell more effectively, and show interest in your customers, and so on, will not only improve the morale of your company’s image, but it will also be a contributing factor to your profitability.

What is Acne? What causes it to appear? Why does acne affect some people to extreme levels where others have little to none? QUIK! Run to the sink and scrub your face, and stop eating that chocolate and fried food. Now that you’ve scrubbed your face raw and made yourself miserable because you no longer can have your favorite foods the results will out weight the negatives correct? WRONG! Unlike the urban myth Acne is not a result of un-cleanliness or not washing enough. Acne does not form because your skin or your pores have too much dirt in them. In-fact, if you scrub to much you may actually cause your acne to get worse. Acne also does not come from eating “bad food”. So go back to enjoying your chocolate and fried food because no food is going to make your acne worse.

The most common form of acne is known as Acne Vulgaris which usually appears on the face, neck, shoulders and back. It’s an inflammatory disease of the skin, caused by changes in the pilosebaceous units. There are several factors that contribute to the development of acne. The primary problem is that the abdominal flaking of cells inside the hair follicle leads to the formation of a plug. The plug can grow larger and rupture the hair follicle. Oil and debris spill into the skin when a rupture occurs causing swelling and redness.

There is no one factor that causes acne. Acne happens when oil “sebaceous” glands come to life at puberty. They are stimulated by male hormones from the adrenal gland of both boys and girls. Oil is a natural substance that lubricates and protects the skin. Cells that are close to the surface block the openings of sebaceous glands and cause a buildup of oil underneath. The oil stimulates bacteria to multiply and cause the surrounding tissue to inflame. If the inflammation is near the surface of the skin, you get a pustule; if it’s deeper, a pimple will appear; even deeper a cyst will form. If the oil manages to break the surface, the result will be a whitehead. If the oil becomes oxidized the oil and changes from white to black and results in a blackhead. Below is a list of self treatments you can do at home to prevent yourself from getting acne.

Step 1. Wash your body once or twice a day with soap and water to remove excess oil from your skin. Avoid scrubbing too abrasively because this can actually irritate the skin and cause acne to worsen. Acne cleanser purchased at the drug store can also help.

Step 2. Prescription or non-prescription over the counter acne medications. These are used usually at night or in the morning. Follow the instructions listed on any acne product.

How To Get A Clean Computer Registry

If you are having problems with your computer, you may need a clean computer registry. What I mean, is you can fix many of the problems you are having in less than 10 minutes. Some of these problems are: the blue screen of death, your computer restarting, programs just freezing, or locking up, and even the entire computer stops working, and you have to hold in the power button for 5 seconds to shut it down. If you have experienced any of these, just follow this simple step to get a clean computer registry.

The reason the registry files cause many of these problems is because they are so easily messed up. These files tell the computer how to operate and open your programs. They also control the short cuts you may have for certain programs. So if you install and uninstall software, as many of us do, then you will have some messed up registry files. When you install new software, the registry files of the new software can modify your current registry files, and thus mess up your old software’s performance.

Same thing happens when you uninstall software. It may ask you if you are sure you want to remove a dll file, as it may be used by another program. If you remove it, and you still do have the software, which needs the registry file, this program will not function. And when these programs have messed up registry files, this is what will cause the computer to have errors.

Registry repair software will fix these errors. The software installs on your computer, and runs a scan of your system. The results will show the errors you have. Then just tell the software to fix the errors. That is it. All of this can take less than 10 minutes to do. And the results will be a clean computer registry.

Michael Baker is a Computer Optimization Technician, and recommends getting a Free Computer Scan to fix any problems such as computers freezing, locking up, restarting for no reason, and getting the blue death screen.

Getting to the Rim - The Secrets to Scoring off the Dribble

Recently I received an email from a coach asking this question: Can you tell me what my guards should do before and during penetration and how they should finish at the rim? As I prepared to answer the question it made sense to me what this coach really wanted to know. Like any other skill in basketball there are a series of skills that proceed the end result. Let’s take a look at the secrets to scoring at the rim. In this article we will analyze what happens before and during penetration to the rim.

There are a lot of elements to consider as you break down this skill. There is an art to scoring off the dribble, as opposed to the coach who tells his players to simply “get to the rim”.

Before

1. The number one thing is to clear your defender. Of course, there are a multitude of ways to do this. 2. Knowing that you are on a clear or open side plays into the players thinking also. He SEES that the drive to the basket is possible.

During

1. Once by the defender, the ball handler needs to quickly survey the floor. Good teams will not let you just go by and get to the trim. They will have levels of help in place. By survey, I mean visually check out the floor for a path the basket OR passing opportunities.

2. I have always taught the Stride Stop as a way for the dribbler to be in control but strong with the ball at the same time. This is where a lot of kids miss out. They are convinced they are driving it all the way to the hoop, eliminating any assist possibilities. Many players, at this time, jump in the air to make a play. The stride stop is a controlled jump stop & pivot at the deepest point of penetration. It allows for control, balance, good decision making, a shot possibility and a pass opportunity.

3. If there is a clear path to the rim, the ball should be taken to the rim in the strongest method possible. Some players can take it up strong off one foot. Others need to jump stop then go up and finish.

Finishing at the Rim

1. Strength is the key. Protecting the ball as they go up with the ball. Use the term, “Take the defender up with you.” In other words, they key is to not let the defenders contact to STOP your momentum to the rim.

2. Concentration is crucial. Most players concentrate on the impending contact rather than the rim. When this happens, the contact becomes the focus, not making the shot.

3. Use of a blocking dummy and mock defenders is good because it simulates contact at the rim.

4. Terms I have used over the years:

a. Finish at the rim–meaning they should release the ball as close to the rim as possible. Makes sense that the less the ball has to travel, the better chance you have to make it.

b. Play THROUGH the contact.

c. Take the defender up with you.

d. Expect contact–how many times have you seen a player get fouled or hit hard and act like they had NO IDEA there was going to be any contact around the basket. This is a mindset you can help your players develop. I use the term, “Take on the contact”.

A key in all of this is the ability for players to make DECISIONS—why? Because getting by the defender is not a licence to get all the way to the basket. It just means they beat the first line of defense. A lay up or power shot is possible, but so is a pass or pull up jumper (the mid-range game). This gives players three options after beating a defender, not just one.

As with other loan types it is possible to obtain a loan even if you lack the proper documentation to prove your income from top to bottom.
There are however requirements that you’ll need to meet in order to compensate for this lack of backing up documentation. These requirements are different for the self employed and for the employed. Yet, there is a common requirement for both of them that will determine approval or decline: a down payment or cash reserve as an alternative proof of income and guarantee.

Purpose of Stated Income Feature

The idea of stated income is not to let you be economical with the truth and state an income over your capacity so as to get better terms or get approved when you otherwise wouldn’t. Stated income is meant for those who have alternative sources of funds or intricate tax returns and deductions and thus cannot provide full proof of their actual income capacity.

Also, for those who have a job but other sources of income too, it is possible to get qualified for higher amounts and better terms. Some lenders will be willing to state your job as the source of income but take into account the additional funds so as to reach the loan amount or repayment program that you desire. This is especially useful for those that wouldn’t otherwise meet the requirements for approval.

Simple Documentation Requirements For Approval

There are no harsh approval processes for these loans. There are simple documentation requirements that can be solved in a matter of hours. You won’t be required to show proof of income and thus, no copies of your pay checks or tax returns (if you are self employed) will be required in order to get approved for a stated income construction loan.

Instead mere formalities are required, so as to make sure that you actually have income regardless of its amount. You’ll need a note from your Certified public accountant or your TAX preparer stating that you are self employed or a letter from your employer stating that you are employed. No reference to actual income is needed. The documentation is needed only to back up the income source, not the amount.

The Cash Reserve Requirement

In order to get approved for stated income construction loan, you’ll need to build a cash reserve to guarantee repayment of the loan if anything unexpected happens. The amount ranges from one lender to another usually equals to three months to a year of the monthly installments of the construction loan. The repayment program will also determine the amount of the cash reserve. Longer repayment programs will require higher amounts and shorter repayment programs will require lower amounts. Also, the borrower’s credit score and financial situation will be taken into account to define the cash reserve requirement. An excellent credit score and financial situation may entitle the borrower to bypass this requirement.

A partnership agreement is a relationship between individuals or organizations. Parties involved should be in close cooperation and share responsibilities. A partnership agreement isn’t necessarily a legal contractual relationship but a relationship where you come in union to accomplish common goals and purposes that will benefit both parties. A partnership agreement is basically one where you both try striving to meet success.

These partnerships could include federal/state/local government, educational institutions, trade associations, or other organizations. A partnership is defined as a “working relationship” which means mutual participation and joint interest.

Partnership agreements are a good way to achieve goals that would otherwise be to far out of your reach. When people and/or organizations come together you can share responsibility and therefore focus harder on things you feel need the most attention. Partnerships can be effective ways to re-stabilize unorganized businesses, expand, go global, go national, increase customer base, increase sales through referrals, provide even more services your customers may desire, and much more.

Often times partnerships are used when resources are limited, partnerships are a way of maximizing your resources to achieve goals and strengthen existing relationships through consumer protection, etc.

Also, companies in need of skilled, talented workers will often times partner with a company/organization that has the talented, skilled, experienced employees you need to train workers and keep your business on the right track.

The requirements to file and sign a partnership agreement form usually are:

- You both must be at least 18 years old.
- Both partners must be present when filing the partnership agreement
- A legal picture I.D. card is required from each partner.
- If you had a previous partnership you must file a notice for ending the partnership with the County Clerk or Notary Public before you can file a new partnership agreement.
- Usually there’s a filing fee of 10-50 dollars often times and they usually accept all forms of payment.

An Innovative Approach To Rhinoplasty And Nose Surgery

The nose is the center of our face. As such, it always grabs the attention of those who look at us. Its appearance helps create our overall facial harmony. The nose also has an important functional component. It does our breathing. Its function is complex, and any alterations done to the nose can have profound effects on our ease of breathing.

Among plastic surgery procedures, rhinoplasty is perhaps the most challenging. This procedure is often called a nose job. Paying attention only to aesthetics can lead to problems with breathing following this plastic surgery procedure. Paying attention only to breath flow can compromise aesthetics. To best deal with these issues, our plastic surgeons work to overcome these potential difficulties by using their different perspectives to focus simultaneously on improving both appearance and function.

Because of its equal importance in appearance and breathing, our plastic surgery Los Angeles specialists have developed The Rodeo Drive Breathe Easy Rhinoplasty. Our two plastic surgeons do all of our rhinoplasties as a team. We have different but complementary training and backgrounds that they apply to your rhinoplasty. This interdisciplinary approach provides you with the benefit of a broad perspective and skills during your evaluation and treatment. We give equal focus to the cosmetic and functional aspects of rhinoplasty in California.

During nose surgery, people sometimes want to remove the bump in their nose, make the nose more narrow, help with breathing, make the nose less crooked, or refine the tip. It is important that people communicate their concerns about their nose to the surgeon in order to obtain the best outcome.

The Rodeo Drive Breathe Easy Rhinoplasty is beneficial for all rhinoplasties, and that’s why we always bring this approach to nose surgery. But in some cases, we believe it is especially useful. Some of these complex situations where our approach brings added benefit include ethnic rhinoplasty, revision rhinoplasty, and rhinoplasty for men. These types of procedures can be especially challenging and this approach serves to help provide the best possible results.

The recovery from rhinoplasty varies for each person, just like for any plastic surgery procedure. Sometimes there will be some bruising for a week or so. We sometimes put packing in the nose for a few days, and you will have to breathe through your mouth during this period. You may have a plaster or silicone splint on your nose for about a week. Most people have very little discomfort following the procedure. Almost everyone tells us that the improvements in their appearance and function are well worth any short-term inconvenience!

Plan The Right Kind Of Layout For Your Woodworking Workshop

When you are looking at the workshop layout for woodworking each wood worker will be faced with a unique set of challenges in order to build one that is right for them. Firstly they will need to decide where it is going to be located. Will it be in the basement, the garage or will it have its own dedicated building? Certainly the decision on where it is located is probably the most important decision that a wood worker will need to make with regard to their workshop. Once this has been decided they can move on to the next stage.

There are a number of different things that need to be considered when planning the layout of your woodworking workshop and this includes lighting, where the electrical tools are to be located, where your tools will be stored and how any dust will be collected.

Through this article we will provide some guidelines, which can help you to decide on the best layout possible for your woodworking workshop. Plus by ensuring that you have developed a great layout for your workshop you will stop yourself from spending years in an uncomfortable as well as poorly organized space that you are going to be using on a regular basis. However, below we will look at two of the most important ones.

1. Lighting

This is one of the biggest considerations you need to look at when designing a layout for your woodworking workshop. You will need to consider what type of lighting that you will need, is there any natural light available and would you be better to use fluorescent lighting instead of incandescent in the workshop? Yet even if you do a wide variety of lighting sources in order to ensure that your workshop is well light it is also a good idea to include some lighting to each workstation.

2. Placement of the Machines

When beginning to design your workshop layout for woodworking it is important that you decide exactly where all your basic machinery is to be placed. What you need to remember is that you will need a clearance area around the machines in case you have to work with large pieces of wood. Also look at a way of setting up the placement of the machines so that you do not have to spend your time running from one machine to another because they are spread wide apart around the workshop. Plus you need to look at their location so that they are close to all the power supplies that they need, as you do not want to end up having loads of electrical wires running across the workshop floor, which can be a major hazard.

Plan your woodworking shop with care and it will take care of your needs for many years to come.

Passover Gifts-Rachel’s Red String Of Protection

You wake up in the morning and look on your left wrist, now what do you notice? You notice that you had kept on the “Rachel’s red string of protection” on your wrist. So you say to yourself “this must have been why I had such a good dream last night”.

You get up from bed and go about your day and wondrously, you have such a great day. A couple of employees became a little angry with you and may have cursed at you, but for some reason, you feel totally at peace in your soul. It is the red string you are wearing?

In a number of Jewish traditions, a red string which has been woven around the tomb of the ancient Hebrew matriarch Rachel has mystical powers which can protect the wearer from all evil looks and forces.

Who is Rachel? Rachel is a historical matriarchal figure who was the wife of Jacob( as written in the Bible and Torah scriptures). For many years , she was barren and without child until she is blessed with two children by God.

The figure of Rachel is a symbol of protection and shelter, this is one of the most popular reasons why she is linked to such wondrous protective power.

In Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism) , Rachel represents this world in which we live and she is seen as a figure who seeks to protect and secure all of the world’s people against evil.

Many stores and websites sell these red strings that they claim to have actually been wound around the tomb of Rachel while special chants and psalms are being read. These incantations are meant to bestow special mystical powers upon the red string.

We’ve all been in a situation where we’ve had to alter our normal shot. Maybe we were too close to a group of overhanging branches that prevented us from reaching the fairway in one hot. Or maybe we were behind a clump of trees that blocked our way to the green. Whatever the case, we were left with no choice but to change our shot. That’s when the ability to control ballflight trajectory comes in handy.

Controlling trajectory saves strokes. It gets you out of trouble when you need it. That’s why I cover it in my golf instruction sessions. Sometimes, the trouble forces you to alter ball flight trajectory. Other times, it gives us a choice. We can play it safe, which can cost us a stroke, or we can go for it, which saves us an extra stroke. How successful you are at making this shot, as I often tell players taking my golf lessons, depends on how well you control trajectory.

Setup is the Key

Two keys dominate this shot-setup and club selection. How you set up, as I’ve often said in my golf tips, often dictates the success of the shot. What changes you make here, which we discuss below, depend on the type of shot you need to make. If you want to go low with the shot, you need to make one set of changes. If you want to go high, you need to make another set.

Choosing the right club is also a key to controlling trajectory. Using the right club also helps dictate the success of the shot, just like making the right changes to your setup. For low shots, select one more club than is needed, choke down on the handle a few inches, and execute a smooth abbreviated swing. For high shots, choose one less club than needed, keep your normal grip, and get more aggressive.

Since your setup is so critical to controlling trajectory, let’s review the basics of your set-up when trying to do so.

Go Low

Our main goal in hitting this type of shot is getting out of trouble. Don’t be concerned with hitting at miracle shot, here. Just focus on getting the ball back on the fairway or in a good position to take your next shot.

Here are six keys to going low:

-Ball back

-Weight forward

-Shoulders level

-Hands forward

-Swing low

-Finish low

Position the ball anywhere from dead center in your stance to your rear foot. Now, lean forward. Leaning de-lofts the clubface and ensures a steep, descending blow. Next, level your shoulders. Keep them level as you start your swing. Focus your eyes on the ground to get your shoulders to match the horizon.

Lean the hands and the shaft forward, which de-lofts the club. Now take a softer swing than normal. A softer swing reduces the balls spin and prevents an up-shooting flight. Swing with an even, pendulum like rhythm to accomplish this goal. Don’t take a full finish. Hold the clubhead below your waistline after impact.

Go High

Like going low, going high can get you out of trouble in the least amount of strokes. But it can cost you if you miss the shot. So don’t try to pull off a miracle shot. Assess the situation carefully before deciding to go over something. Sometimes it’s better playing it safe-even though it costs you a stroke-than going for broke.

Here are six tips on going high:

-Ball forward

-Weight back

-Back shoulder low

-Hands Neutral

-Be aggressive

-Finish high

Position the ball forward in your stance. This facilitates catching the ball on a slightly ascending arc. Now lean backward. Be sure that your back shoulder is lower than your front shoulder at address.

Maintain a neutral hand and shaft position as a means of retaining the loft built into the clubface at impact. Keeping your hands low in the center of your stance works well. Also, don’t hold back. Be aggressive. Speed creates lift. A high ballflight needs a high finish, so try completing your swing in balance, with your hands and arms back over your front shoulder.

Controlling ballflight trajectory depends on making setup adjustments and good club selection. Learning to do so, as I’ve mentioned in my golf tips, increases your arsenal of shots, making you better equipped to tackle whatever a course may bring that day. In addition, it saves strokes. And cutting down on strokes can’t help but reduce your golf handicap to where you want it.
