Greed, what does the word mean? Greed can basically be defined as a sense of selfishness and an overall concern for oneself and wealth beyond anyone or anything else in the world. This is why many say, true evil is not money, but greed. However, most individuals have a sense of guilt, at least in times of such matters; When it comes to corporate greed, however, that is another story entirely. Therefore, it is good for one to know the core values of any business or corporation with which one intends on doing business.

 

Recent court rulings in the United States now say that corporations are to be treated the same as individuals, thereby giving many corporations even more power than they had before. In having such powers, the corporations can now also donate unlimited amounts of money to a variety of political campaigns, which essentially then makes it possible to buy an election. In addition, while this is going on, at the same time the United States is also attempting to pass a health care bill, which keeps getting sidetracked due to private insurance industry concerns.

However, one area hardest hit by corporate greed, is in relation to a number of employees across the board, both those just starting work today, as well as those who are retiring after many years on the job. This is because the corporation profits greatly from such thought-out planning. Such plans often include getting rid old employees with experience and replacing them with individuals in a learning phase, that way the corporation can start new employees at lower wages and not have to extend retirement benefits to retiring employees. Talk about a gold mine of opportunity for greed, sadly the marketplace is full of these type of corporations who continue to lay off long time workers in exchange for those without experience or knowledge, which in turn not only profits the company, but can also effect consumers depending on what type of product a corporation manufactures.

 

Therefore, unless individuals agree to salary or hourly wages at the time one is hired, many of these practices often go unknown to anyone other than the corporation itself and any retiring employees or employees who have not been satisfied with regards to pay for overtime work. Otherwise, individuals just keep churning away, working tirelessly for an employer until a time one becomes a threat against corporate profits, at which time the employee is often let go, many times without any warning or severance package. Sadly, there is not much an individual can do in such cases, as the company generally provides some reason, often which can not be fought in court, for the layoff or termination of such an employee.

 

While there are both large corporations and small corporations, many attempt to hid behind corporate greed. One such incident is with regards to an employee of a corporation who died, after which the family discovered a health insurance policy had been purchased on the life of their loved one without the knowledge of the employee of anyone in the family. Of course, the corporation is listed as sole beneficiary and therefore, the family received none of the over one million dollars the corporation received in death benefits, on one employee alone, think how much that would be if all employees are covered under such life insurance plans.

 

Also, while a good number of corporate firms use these poor business practices, there are also those who have great management teams who understand the importance of good, long-time employees and do everything in their power to protect same. However, it is the corporations who tend to pay low wages, lay off workers and misuse employees for their own use who cause the bulk of such problems. Therefore, the current trend in greening the planet along with a variety of new jobs in the area can often be a good place to look for both employment and investment opportunities. This is because these corporations generally have some sense of conscience, or they would not be working in the area of environmental improvement, unlike those who only use individuals as pawns with one goal and one goal only, to reveal large profit margins for the company. Of course, when a company profits, it benefits its executives through a variety of bonuses and other benefits. Often at the expense of many people who have been hired and fired within the last few years, as an effort to see such a result.

 

The only way for anyone to defend against corporate greed and economic downturn is by leveraging entrepreneurship to their advantage. By taking control of your future, investing wisely and accepting the role and benefits of being an entrepreneur can one be in complete control of their life.

Brian Tracy is one of the world’s most famous self-help authors who has written several books and also provides books on tape for his readers. His niche of the market is primarily in business success, making him a person who is often hired for conferences, graduations, and seminars to speak. He had a rough start, being a high school drop out, an aimless traveler, and a manual laborer. He flitted about with no direction for almost a decade and, though having seen some great things from his worldly travels, had not put down any roots or made any step forward in taking care of himself and his career. He got a job in sales and tried to be like the other successful salesmen he encountered. He would ask them all for advice and then took it to heart. By actively pursuing success and doing what they told him worked, he was able to climb very fast in the company. He was vice president only two years after he started. The big system he thought up was aptly named The Success System. It was also called The Phoenix Seminar. It was a huge publication and became even bigger with the sale of the audio books. Many successful people attribute their correct mind set to Tracy, who they claim has set them on the right path. He stays on top of technology and the market by frequently updating his blog, which is a popular staple of business entrepreneurs. This blog contains many gems of wisdom and can be used in tandem with his books. It is a well organized site that speaks on many different topics. You can look at his adventures in travel and how that has shaped his strategies of influence. He splits up success into five categories, the main one being business and the other being financial. Though they often go hand in hand, they are not mutually exclusive. He also has sales success, which can help in those previous two realms but is really its own category. He has a leadership success tab full of stories and advice for pulling to the front of the pack. The final one of the ’success’ categories is personal success, which is gratifying for readers to see and important for everyone to remember. He has a condensed category entitled ‘Words of Wisdom’ and then some tips for time management. He also has a catch-all category for everything that does not fit in anywhere else. He keeps it very regularly updated in order to stay on top of modern conditions with the economy and market. The site revolves around his three virtues which one needs to be successful in business: prudence, justice, and benevolence. He wants you to make yourself a superior person all around. The most reassuring thing is his request at the end of every post that you practice what he has preached. In this way you can immediately start ingraining his advice into your life and can see that it works. He gives suggestions about how best to do it. It is like a little homework exercise. You should do this in order for his virtues to start becoming second nature and being part of your own natural action. Brian Tracy is one of America’s leading and dynamic speakers on such fundamentals as personal development, leadership, goals, motivation, time management and success psychology. He has written countless books and videos on these subjects and is in constant demand by businesses all over the world for his prolific set of skills.

Dreams

Almost every human being has dreams. These dreams may involve having more financial stability, finding a person to love, or losing weight. Each person’s dream is different and unique. There is, however, one common trait among those who translate their dreams into reality and those who continue daydreaming most of their lives. This difference is the realization that in order to succeed you must know that dreams and goals work together. Goals give you the practical steps for achieving your dreams. If you dream without setting any goals, you are at a high risk of keeping your dreams unrealized in your mind. When you set practical goals, in incremental stages you can actually work toward making your dreams apart of your reality. In order to begin translating your dreams you first have to establish what it is you really want. Unplug yourself from the noises of the everyday hustle and evaluate where you are in life. Once you have established where you are, visualize where you want to be. Sometimes people say they want this thing or that but do not really take the time to seriously analyze what it is they truly want out of life. Consider how this dream will enrich your life personally or financially. Think of the positives that come along with living your dream. After you have clearly thought about what it is that you want, you now have to think about the steps that will get you to your goal. For instance, if you want to lose fifteen pounds, how are you going to do this? First, you may want to set short term goals. These goals will include going to the gym and changing your diet. You may want to plan your week around these new goals.

One Step At A Time

Once you have completed your first week with success you can applaud yourself for the good work. Move on to the next week and so on. These small incremental steps will help you reach your long term goal of losing 15 pounds over the span of a few months. A plan of action is critical in realizing your dreams. If you are moving throughout life without a plan, you risk trapping your dreams as part of your imagination forever. On the other hand, when you have a clear target and set goals to achieve it you will most likely be moving toward the realization of your dreams. Visualization and practical action are a must. Set your goals in small phases in order to actually achieve them. When you initially plan small you will set yourself up for success. This is because you have the ability to actually achieve small goals more so than if you set large goals. When you hit your small target goals, this will keep you motivated and moving forward. Small, incremental goals will push you toward your larger goals. If you dream of becoming wealthy, you may have to take action to improve your skill sets. You may go back to school, or get training in order to increase your marketability. You may want to take investment courses. Your plan of action has to be tailored to your personal dreams. Once you know that dreams and goals work together you are well on your way for successful dream realization through goal setting. The most successful business men and women in life all have one factor in common. That is the ability to achieve goals through a specific set of values. Two of the most successful leaders and trainers of goal setting are Brian Tracy and Bill Bartmann. Both have amassed millions while building and training businesses all over the world.

There are innumerable benefits to articles outsourcing the biggest of which is that you can generate a tremendous revenue easily when you have established and maintain visibility and credibility in your market. Whether a person is going to generate an income through affiliate marketing or establish an e-commerce site, your success will depend on the amount of traffic that you drive to your site through articles, blogs, forums, newsletters, RSS feeds, social networking mediums and advertising. Generating the number of written articles and messages that you need in order to generate that traffic can build a business quickly and easily. However, putting a system in place will be one of your biggest challenges.
Generating written works on a daily basis that are informative, interesting, and motivate readers to visit your site can be extremely expensive when you are trying to do it yourself. The time involved in maintaining visibility can easily take from three to six hours each day. This is time that you could be spending developing relationships with other marketers, learning to use new tools, and growing your business. The cost for paying a provider to generate visibility for you is very cost effective and affordable when compared to the cost of your time in doing this.
Many people don’t really consider the impact that high quality, informative and non-promotional articles can have in driving traffic to their website. Generating visibility and credibility in your market will require more than a once a month blog or an article sent out on occasion. The amount of income you are able to generate through your website will be directly related to your visibility and credibility. Your visibility will be directly related to the number of articles, blogs, etc., that are generated on a consistent basis.
There are several things that you will want to look for when you have decided on what type of marketing approach you want to take. The article provider must have a way of screening writers and assuring that they are able to generate the quality articles that your customers will respond positively to. You will also want to make sure that the provider has a quality control system in place so you can receive articles and submit them to publishers without having to worry about whether or not they are grammatically correct, well written, and informative.
Some article writing services have very low standards. They do not require that their writers have any background or experience. In addition, they do not take the time to train their writers in the correct way to write effective articles and increase visibility for a business through the articles that they write.
It doesn’t matter how many keywords are used, or how many links are included in a resource. If an article is poorly written and is not informative, it will not drive the amount of traffic to your site that you want. The time it takes to generate the number of quality articles needed to drive traffic can easily take a person several hours of every day to complete. Unfortunately, for most people, even if they have they have the time, they do not have the kinds of skills needed to generate article after article, hour upon hour, day after day, consistently.
The group that you select to work with should be able to provide you with articles that are unique and provide information to the reader that will motivate them to go to your website for related products or information. They will be able to produce the number or articles that are needed to maintain a steady flow of articles to publishers on a weekly basis.
The article provider will also be able to provide web content that will provide your readers with the motivation to return to your site and subscribe to your RSS feed. Articles that are published are not written in the same way as web content and it will be important that you have a company that can make this distinction.
For content rich quality articles such as this one I personally use  My Article Express. Combined with Unique Article Wizard I submit those articles to thousands of directories with a single click. You can learn how I use these and a unique online presence to bring quality leads to my business.

There are many benefits of a home based MLM you should consider if you are looking for a career change or need a job.  These benefits include total freedom, working from home, saving money, and being in total control of your financial future.

A home based MLM gives you the freedom in their work most people dream about but never make happen.  You no longer have to answer to anyone but yourself.  You don’t have a boss anymore to write you up for being five minutes late to work.  You don’t have to call in sick or ask for permission to take the day off.  The freedom to work when you want and where you want is in your hands. Working from home with a home based MLM business is wonderful for some people.  Many people would love to work from home but they can never seem to get in a good position or they just don’t have enough confidence in themselves to make things happen.  Working from home is wonderful for many people because you can work in your pajamas, you don’t have to commute, and you are in a more comfortable atmosphere.  It is said that people who work from home are more productive than when they are at work because of the comfort factor. Saving money is a big factor many people don’t think about.  If you commute and work a corporate job everyday then you must spend money on clothes to dress to corporate standard, gas each week, parking fees, vehicle maintenance and depreciation, and even your time.  Your time should be considered money and if you commute for over an hour both ways then maybe the cost benefits of working a home based MLM might be a consideration.  When you eliminate all of these factors and work from home you will begin seeing money in the bank.  Many people spend extra money they would normally have from their salaried job on their commute and don’t realize it. Being in total control of your financial future is the best part of a home based MLM.  If you choose a home marketing business to work it can be a part time gig for you or a full time endeavor.  It is entirely up to you.  Your success is also up to you.  You control the amount of money you make with an MLM business because your success depends on how hard you are willing to work.  Some people like an MLM for a supplemental income while others enjoy controlling their future. Many of the benefits of a home based MLM are things people dream about but never make happen with their careers.  If you have been interested in saving money because you spend too much on the commute or you want to be in total control of your financial future then an MLM is the best type of business for you.

That’s right, Happy January 3rd! You’ve made the New Year and now into day three. Ever thought about that number three? There are the sun, moon and stars. There is the body, soul and spirit. We see, hear, and speak. We crawl, walk and run. We eat, Work, and sleep.
I Judaism we read about the three Patriarchs: Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. In the Christian faith: there was the inner circle of Christ’s disciples: Peter, James and John. There were three wise men in the Christmas story, and three days in the resurrection of the Messiah. There is the Trinity: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
The atom is made up of molecules with protons, neutrons and electrons. The apple, like most fruit, has the peeling, meat and seed. We learn from the three R’s: reading, writing and arithmetic. Three is unique in numerology. In geometry there is the three-dimensional space: length, width and depth (height). In music it represents a trio, and in the most basic cord there are three notes in a triad. In geography there are a number of cities known as Tripoli, the Greek term describing three cities. In sports, three strikes and you’re out! In literature three interconnected books or artwork is called a trilogy. Remember those three unalienable rights endowed to us by out Creator disclosed in the Declaration of Independence by our Forefathers? They are: life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
I only wish I could take credit for this letter, but it came to me in the mail from my financial advisers at Financial Architect Network, with credited distinction going to author Ronnie Johnson. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. It seems we get so involved in our daily lives that we forget about the simple, interesting and sometimes humorous things.
May you have a Wonderful and Prosperous 2010!
