  32. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> A few years ago, you could go online and find the name behind the cell phone number and other information about the caller for free, but with privacy laws regarding cell phones now in place that is no longer an option. Thankfully, you can perform a reverse look up for a cell phone number for a small fee and still gain access to this information.Privacy In Question Regarding Reverse Look Up ProvidersPrivacy is a big issue these days and no doubt there will be further laws and rulings regarding cell phone and even landline phones in the future, but for now anyone with a credit card can go online and find out information they need with just the phone number of the caller.Spouses have used it to catch their cheating mates in the act, parents have used it to monitor who their kids are talking to and detectives have used it for years to trace down criminals and other shady characters trying to evade the law.Providers Of Free Reverse Look Up Services Must ChargeWith the new laws in place providers who once gave away information regarding landline and cell phone numbers must now charge an access fee for this information. There are hardly any service providers online who offer this service for free and if they do they are only allowed to provide the location and phone carrier of the individual in question. Many people still use these services and don&#8217;t seem to mind the charge for it. They consider it worth the price to find out the information that they need.The services are easy to navigate once you have selected a provider to work with and they are user friendly. Just type in the number in question and pay the fee and the information will be given to you instantly. </p>

  48. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Before picking an appropriate quote, it is important to develop a good understanding of the different types of life insurance policies available in the market. Some provide permanent cover for the insurer, while a few others offer only temporary coverage. These policies also vary from one another in terms of price and flexibility of coverage.<br />
  49. Types of life insurance<br />
  50. Term life insurance<br />
  51. Whole life insurance<br />
  52. Universal life insurance<br />
  53. Variable universal life insurance<br />
  54. Term Life Insurance Is a form of insurance policy that offers temporary coverage to the investor with no cash value option. It can be useful when there are immediate expenses for the investor to address such as funding children&#8217;s education or covering mortgage costs.Pros and Cons of term life insurance Term life insurance is one of the cheapest forms of insurance policies available in the market. This makes it a good short-term proposition for investors to address any current or immediate financial concerns. For e.g.: A health 45 year old non smoker can easily go in for a million package with a 30 year term at the rate of $200 a month as premium costs.The aspect of offering temporary coverage can be both positive and negative attribute to term insurance. The positive aspect being that this kind of policy can come in useful to your dependents until they are old enough to earn on their own. This could include funding your spouse until retirement benefits kick in or till your children are able stand on their own feet. It is ideal for people to in for a 30 year term life insurance policy when they have new born member in the family.They are easy to buy and one of the least complicated forms of policiesSince term life provides only temporary coverage, the investor is left with no cash value option upon its expiration. Unless you have made arrangements for alternative forms of income, you could find your self in a sticky wicket once your term life policy expires at the end of 30 years. By this time you will be much older which will make other forms of insurance policies a much more expensive affair.It should not be looked upon as investment option. You are not going to generate any cash value at the end of the term. So make sure that you make arrangements for alternative income sources when you heading towards retirement.Whole Life InsuranceThis form of insurance offers permanent coverage to the investor with cash value options. It comes with fixed rate of premiums for the entire duration of the policy even though it is more expensive than term life. The cash value accumulates as you pay your premiums over time making it stable form of investment for your future that comes with guaranteed protection.The flip side is it is more expensive than term life insurance. Also there chances that you might not receive dividends, which enhance the value of your policy.Universal Life InsuranceThese too offer permanent coverage while providing more flexibility to the investor in terms of timing of payout, death benefits, premium rates and other aspects. Through this the insurer can choose to increase or decrease the value of his policy from time to time depending on financial situation.This form of policy is a little more complicated than term life or whole life owing to its flexibility. This also brings with it a certain element of risk as well. Cash value of your policy is based on fixed rates which is calculated on a periodic basis. So with falling rates the cash value of your policy could also suffer possibly leading to higher premiumsVariable universal life insuranceThis form of policy offers permanent coverage along with investment options for the insurer. It is quite similar to universal life insurance in many aspects while it also does enable the investor to indulge in investing his or her cash value on other funding options. This provides the investor with considerable growth options.This form of policy has its share of risk as well. With an investment portfolio, cash value of your policy can be substantially impacted during market downturns. Also if you happen to be late on your timely premiums, it could affect the cash value of your policy.Selecting the right kind of life insurance quote Make it a point to study in detail the different types of life insurance policies that you can find on the web. Before you start comparing quotes understand what amenities fall within the coverage for each policy and analyze your profile to better judge which type of policy would suit your requirements the best.Go online and fill out a form in any one of the many insurance forums that you find on the Internet. You will shortly be contacted by local agents to further discuss what kind of package you are looking to buy. It would also be a good idea to contact multiple agents which will help you better understand the pros and cons of each policy. By contacting multiple agents you can also compare several quotes and buy a policy that is most sound and affordable among them.Remember to take your time while settling down on a policy. With many policies being a life long commitment, it pays to properly research and pick an appropriate one. </p>

  86. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> The statistics on small businesses going broke in the first 12 months of operation are nothing short of obscene and seriously scary.  In Australia and other western countries such as the United States 70% of all small businesses fail within the first 12 months of operation but let me tell you from experience, surviving after that 12 months is no less harrowing.After 10 years of running four small businesses and creating them from scratch I can tell you with some authority, that I did not do this on my own. In fact, I reckon I have made every mistake in the book on how not to run a small business, but yet I have still survived.  The secret to staying in business is all down to being able to talk to my ten Small Business Mastermind Advisers.My ten Small Business Mastermind Advisers are there as my support team in helping me make the right decisions. See often when we make a decision in small business, it might be right at the time but down the track it can do you a lot of harm.  Having your small business mastermind advisers on call, you can simply call them and ask them the consequences of the choices you are about to make.For example, having the right business structure and putting your business assets in the right structure will play a major roll in the success of your business when you decide to exit the business.  Se e most people who go into business only ever think of the business as a job they do not look at it from the perspective of how they will exit the business when they have built it into an enterprise.Those ten small business mastermind advisers will help you to ensure that you have met your obligations and that there are no hidden issues that might come up in the future for your business.  For example, we recently chose to sell off our car cleaning business as my wife wanted to pursue something different. Because of the way I had structured some of the trademarks in my company that related to hers, when we went and sold the business it created a number of headaches in the sale process. Essentially we had to shift ownership of those trademarks to her company prior to the sale which created a number of financial costs that we have had to endure even though my company never made any money.  This issue arose simply because in the early days, I did not have my 10 Small Business Mastermind Advisers to tell me how my choices would impact on me in the future.Adviser 1: AccountantIn business today, with the complexities of superannuation, sales tax or GST, income tax and all the other taxes out there an accountant is a must.  As a small business owner you need to find an accountant that is a small business specialist and is proactive in working with you.What I have found is that some accountants will only do what you ask them to do and will not step in and give you advice if you do not ask.  You want an accountant that if they see you are doing something wrong then they will tell you without you asking.The other thing you will need to ensure is that you hire an accountant that outlines where all of their hours are going.  It is very easy for you with accountants and solicitors to end up with 5 or 6 figure bills.Adviser 2: SolicitorThe solicitor is another important Small Business Mastermind adviser.  Just like the accountant you need to make sure that the solicitor is a small business specialist.  The role of the solicitor is to help you with all legal issues like what structure suits what you want to achieve, do your forms and policies meet your legal obligations, like your privacy policy, recruitment policy etc.They can also help you protect your assets and in particular your intellectual property like trademarks, copyright etc.  Often small business owners do not do the basics of trademarking their business name and logos to stop other business predators using their identities.Adviser 3: Marketing and Advertising ExpertA Marketing and Advertising Expert is a must in today&#8217;s market place.  I have found that with the various media types, people in the industry can get better deals than if you dealt with the media owners. For example, recently I chose a new advertising specialist to join my small business mastermind advisers because their company was able to negotiate lower television advert placements, than what I could dealing directly with the station.Your marketing and advertising expert should have some experience in your industry and be able to show real statistics of adverts and marketing campaigns that actually achieved results.  More so, they should also have a mantra of test and measure to ensure that your campaigns are giving you value for money and more so, are making you a profit.Adviser 4: BookkeeperSome accountants have their own bookkeepers, but I have found that quite often they are more expensive than bookkeepers not tied into an accountant.  Further to this you should always check to make sure the bookkeeper is certified. In some countries, including Australia, bookkeepers can be certified through the National Bookkeepers association or the CPA.Your bookkeeper must be prepared to work with your accountant and if they have questions you must give them permission to speak with your accountant and more so, you need to make sure that they document all communications with your accountant.Remember one thing, it does not matter whether your Bookkeeper or your accountant makes a mistake, ultimately, you as the business owner are responsible for your books.  If they get it wrong, it will be on your head, so always make sure that you understand what they are doing.Adviser 5: IT PersonEverybody hates computers and I am a 20 year veteran of the industry and I still hate them.  Having a good IT person is essential.  Most businesses today are now totally reliant on their IT Technology and if your technology goes down, the question you need to ask is, &#8220;could your business still operate?&#8221; If the answer is no, then you need to hire an IT person who will be there in an emergency.When choosing an IT Person or company make sure they are qualified in the technology you are using. For example, if you are using Microsoft Windows technology in your office, then your IT Person should have at the very least the Microsoft Certified Desktop Support Technician qualification.Adviser 6: Website and Search Engine ExpertIf your business is not on the web and you are not selling products to the global market then you are making your life incredibly difficult and you are missing out on lots of opportunities.  The internet is a fantastic tool for doing business but be warned there are lots of crooks out there, especially in the search engine optimization industry.Before choosing a web builder and search engine expert ask to speak with some of their existing clients or talk to other business associates and find out who they use.  I will say you should expect to pay anywhere between $1,500 to $5,000 per month for this service depending on your business and what sort of income you want to derive from the internet.Adviser 7: Business CoachBusiness Coaches, are like website and search engine experts, there are a lot of snakes out there who have no real small business experience.  Before choosing a Business Coach ask them if they have ever owned a small business or if they had been a principle small business manager.If you have been in small business for a while, then it will be very obvious to you as to which business coaches have owned businesses before going into business coaching. Their approach will tend to be more practical then something out of a book.  Once again before choosing a business coach, talk to your business colleagues and see if they can recommend someone.Adviser 8: Financial PlannerManaging your money is a major issue and most accountants will not give you Financial Planning Advice.  A good financial planner will be able to help you where to put your business money, to get good growth but also to be easily accessible.You should also have a good financial planner for your personal 401k or superannuation policy but also if you are managing an employer superannuation program.  Most small business owners forget to build their own 401k or superannuation policy as they are building their business and when they get to selling their business they find they do not have enough to live on once they retire because once the business debts are paid off, nothing is left.Adviser 9: Business BankerFinding the right bank and right business banker is essential to succeeding in business.  You definitely need to build a constructive relationship with your business banker as they will be your life line in a dire cashflow situation or if you need money for a deal you just could not let go by.Business Bankers can also help you with other issues like leasing and hire purchase accounts, but also other facilities like merchant facilities, sales tax bank accounts etc.Adviser 10: Insurance BrokerI learned the hard way on how important an insurance broker is to your business.  The previous insurance company I dealt with did not advise me that none of the glass in my building was covered if I was broken into.  I have extensive insurance, but because Glass was an optional extra, the previous insurance company did not tell me this and when we were broken into, even though I pay over $5,000 per year in insurance,  I still had a $4,000 bill for all the glass damaged during a break and enter.This particular experience really drove home, how a good insurance broker, whilst upfront might cost you more, in the future will save you more.Just like any employee when you are putting together your Small Business Mastermind Advisers you need to interview each adviser and ensure that you are able to work with them.  Further to this, to get the best advice from your Small Business Mastermind Advisers you must be 100% honest and open with them, even when things are looking dire.  If you are not totally honest, then they cannot give you the advice that will help you get out of trouble. </p>

  114. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> With the world now becomes a global market place, travel is increasingly turning into the number one activity that people do on a regular basis. Equipped with rapid internet penetration at travel destinations around the world, people are making travel arrangement online.Websites such as priceline.com, travelocity.com and cheaptickets.com all of sudden attract high interest to savvy travelers who are looking to plan their travel at convenience.Besides the above three travel websites, there are numerous sites that specialize into different market niches.Like the old saying &#8216;don&#8217;t put all your eggs into the same basket,&#8217; selecting one travel website for all your travel needs is unnecessary. You should find the best site that meets your objective. After all, competition is always good for customers.What question should you ask yourself before jumping into the one travel website? Here are a few criteria that you should consider when selecting travel websites:1. ObjectiveIf you take a step aback a little bit and ask yourself your current travel situation, you should be able to find out what the real goal is at that time.For example, if during holiday you unexpectedly receive news that one of your close relatives just passed away and you need to be there the fastest way possible, how do you make your travel arrangement?Would you still go to priceline.com and bid for the lowest fare &#8211; or hit for ticket at lastminute.com right away? Priceline.com specializes in the lowest fare on bidding situation, so it will take a certain while to get the best deal. However, if you go to lastminute.com, you will be able to get the lowest fare at the last minute.Under other circumstances, bidding through priceline.com can be more desirable than lastminute.com.Forget about purchasing directly from the airline company. It costs more for them to serve your purchase &#8211; customer support, advertising, maintenance and all the sales overhead are incurred to fulfil your purchase. This translates to higher ticket price for customers.On the other hand, travel websites acting as ticket middlemen purchased tickets at wholesale price. They are in competition with other travel websites to attract you to their websites. More competition translates to a better pocket for customers.2. CountryNext tip is about the country you are visiting. Each country has a specialized or national travel websites that cater to foreigners.For example, if you travel to the Great Britain or Paris, the national travel association offers unlimited entry pass to visit a multitude of attractions at one price. If don&#8217;t know about this offer and purchase tickets at a number of independent websites, you are guaranteed to spend more money, time and hassle.On other occasions, if you travel to unfamiliar developing countries where infrastructure is not as adequate, it is better to make your arrangement via a trusted national agency who has long been in business.3. TrustworthinessPurchasing online is essentially the same as purchasing offline. The difference is security and convenience. Now that you are aware of the convenience, I will explain about security.Online travel websites need to be secure and trustworthy. I am not talking about fraud only. From handling promotion, sales process to customer support, the company needs to be able to demonstrate its strength in doing business online.I would typically look for Better Business Bureau (BBB) sign, investigate how long they have been in business, what guarantee, terms and conditions that the company holds before landing on one travel website.Another indication is browsing through customer testimonials. Although they might be orchestrated, reading testimonials is a great way to understand the products and services of the company.4. SavingsFor budget-conscious customers, saving money on flight is definitely a win. The best advice is to plan your travel way in advance. Take advantage of pricing comparison websites or recurring promotions from each travel websites.However, if you are on a time or budget constraint, knowing what website to baseline from will be beneficial. Again depending on your situation, I would recommend you start with priceline.com and bid for the lowest price. In parallel, you would go to special niches websites such as lastminute.com to shop around for ticket pricing.For business flyers though, they are prepared to pay a higher fee for their ticket price. Business customers usually fly during weekdays and make last minute arrangements. The airline companies know this &#8211; that&#8217;s why last minute tickets are costly.5. UniquenessThe last important factor to select the best travel websites is how unique they are, compared with other websites.Some websites are more user-friendly and informative; some others are very clunky yet professional. Finding what makes each website ticks will play well in your decision.Availability of travel guide or blog is also crucial in my opinion. It shows that the company cares enough not only to sell the best priced tickets, but also the best total value experience.In conclusion, selecting travel websites that suit your particular travel situation is important. Due to a heightened competition, customers will find the best value to their dream travel experience. Taking the time to understand which website is good at which niche will be beneficial in both short and long run. </p>

  130. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Direct marketing is a type of advertising that does not use traditional means of advertising such as newspapers, magazines, TV, or radio to reach its audience. Instead, when businesses uses direct marketing they communicate directly with their intended consumer.In order to do that direct market advertisers employ a number of different advertising vehicles to get in touch with their target market. These include, but aren&#8217;t limited to distributing catalogues, fliers, and promotional letters.There are two primary things that differentiate direct market advertising from other types of marketing. First, its messages are sent directly to the consumer without the use of traditional types of commercial media. Second, the basic principle of a successful direct marketing campaign is that everything is driven towards a specific call to action.When a call to action is elicited the responses can, and should be tracked and measured.For example, a specific call to action could ask the prospects to call a specific telephone number. Whenever anyone calls that number, no matter what the results of the call (whether or not a sale is made), the action of calling is considered to be a direct response to the advertising effort.Who Uses Direct Response Marketing?Small to medium sized businesses are more prone to use direct marketing than are large corporations. That&#8217;s because larger enterprises tend to try to brand themselves and establish a connection between their company name and a general message about their company.Larger companies also tend to direct their advertising and marketing efforts towards the general public rather than to a specific target market. Therefore, the larger corporations usually do not attempt to have the general public take one specific course of action.Often, when people purchase products from a company that tries to brand itself by sending out a brand message the company will not know what motivated their clients to make their purchases. So they won&#8217;t know which specific ads worked and which ones were just draining capital.On the other hand, well executed direct marketing campaigns can generate positive returns on any money that is invested into specific campaigns. One of the reasons is that they are not involved with overcomplicated efforts geared towards branding the company. Their sole purpose, remember, is to get the prospect to do a specific action.Direct advertising goes straight to the point. It usually offers a service or product, or it might focus on an event. Then it explains how the prospect can get the service or the product &#8211; or attend the event.In order for a direct marketing campaign to be successful it is necessary to first obtain mailing lists that have the necessary information about the market that the company is targeting. These mailing lists are available from mailing list brokers. </p>

  146. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> It is quite important for single moms to know where they can get legal help with regard do different issues affecting their children. Legal help for single mothers is essential and it has assisted a lot of single moms get relief by being supported by their husbands. In most of the cases the mother undergoes a lot of problems where the husband leaves her without even thinking of how she is going to bring up the children. Legal help will ensure that the single moms rights are well articulated and respected. The situation becomes even worse where the mom does not have a job and therefore, she doesn&#8217;t have a means of supporting the kids. This is the reason why it becomes quite imperative for her to seek legal help for single mothers. They should know that they are entitled to child support from the other party. The biological father of the child must support the mother in bringing up the children.The legal help for single mothers is also quite important in deciding who should have the custody of the children. The mother in most cases will be granted right to have custody of the child provided she is in a position to bring up the child. The mother will be better placed to bring up the child in many circumstances. If the father wants to have the custody of the kids legal help will require him to prove beyond any reasonable doubt that the mother is not in a position to bring up the child. The level of proof is that of beyond any shadow of doubt. When the custody is granted to the mother then the father will be required to support the mother financially. In many situations however, the legal help for single mothers is important since she will be advised to seek a court order requiring the husband to be paying the support fund without failing.Legal help has been there for quite sometime after a lot of single mothers were denied what was legally theirs by the father of their children. The legal help has as a result assisted many mothers and has remained quite determined in ensuring that whenever a single mother requires any service she can provoke their assistance anytime. Depending with the level of the relationship the mother may as well be entitled to a portion of the family property. The legal help will ensure that the mothers have legal understanding of what they should do to ensure that they get a share of the matrimonial property.Legal help for single mothers will also ensure that the mother can be in a position to claim to be provided with housing. This is very important since many single mothers were simply housewives and depended wholly on their husbands. The legal help will give mothers an insight on how they should provoke court action with regard to claiming to be provided with housing. The single mother is therefore, playing a very important role in ensuring that single mothers know their rights and are able to fight for them. </p>

  162. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> What better way to celebrate the coming of a new baby than to host a baby shower party. Better yet, make it a surprise for the expectant mother. The following tips should help you host a baby shower party just like a real pro.Choose a Good DateIt is important that you choose a good date for the baby shower party. What good is the party if the mom is not around? So do make sure that the important participant makes it to the party. Be creative with this. You can schedule a dinner with the expecting mother. Stress the importance of her showing up. And you should indeed ask somebody to show up at the dinner so somebody can redirect her attention while you are at the venue welcoming the guests.Send Out the InvitationsYou should be ready with your invitations early on so that you can have them sent at least two weeks before the actual event. This is to give the people time to prepare. They do have to have enough time to go shopping for baby shower gifts.And oh, be cautious with those written invitations. Your guests might carelessly leave them lying around. You don&#8217;t want them falling into the wrong hands &#8211; the mother&#8217;s that is. It will totally ruin the surprise. Personal invitations and phone calls are still the best way to go.Baby RegistryAsk mothers who just recently borne a baby about the usual stuff new mothers need. You will need the information to fill up a baby shower gifts registry. Yes, you got that right. You can make the baby shower gifts registry yourself. No need to ask the mother to make her own. She might speculate that you are planning to throw a baby shower party. This is another great way to ruin the surprise.You can also ask the mother&#8217;s close relatives and friends to give their own ideas for baby shower gifts. Make sure that you come up with a worthwhile baby registry and that it is properly distributed so that the guests have a clear idea on which baby shower gifts to give the mother.Baby Shower DecorationsCome up with a baby shower theme. It&#8217;s always fun to stick to a specific theme when planning a party. The added bonus is that it makes the rest of the details easier to handle. With a theme at hand, choosing baby shower favors, baby shower gifts and other party items will not be too hard anymore. Be creative when choosing a theme. Think of something that has yet to be done before. And do make it match the personality of the mother. Remember that the party is thrown in her honor (and the baby&#8217;s too!).Baby Shower FavorsDo give your baby shower favors the attention they deserve. They are your way of showing the guests how grateful you are for their participation.Catch the Mother Off GuardTo make the &#8216;surprise&#8217; party a really effective one, make sure that you catch the Mom off guard. How about throwing the party in the morning or after lunch? And do watch over your guests. Make sure that nobody goes blabbering about the party in the wrong places and at the earshot of the wrong person (the mother of course). And on the day of the party itself, assign somebody to play the role of a valet so that there are not too many cars nearby to arouse the mom&#8217;s suspicion.You are well on your way to hosting a blasting baby shower party. Have fun! </p>

  186. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> INTRODUCTIONOne of the most often overlooked parts of real estate investing (especially when investing in the Gulf Opportunity Zone, a.k.a. GO Zone), is putting your new investment property into service. In other words, get a tenant in there as soon as possible and start getting the benefits of the rental income. In addition to the cash flow side of things, &#8220;putting the property in service&#8221; is an important part of getting your GO Zone benefits (up to 50% Bonus Depreciation on the property). Hopefully, you have given the topic much thought before you purchased.MANAGEMENT OPTIONS The good thing is that you have many options available to you from the GO Zone property rental side:1. You can manage the property completely yourself;2. You can get assistance leasing up the property and then manage yourself;3. You can have someone lease the property up and also manage the property for you; and4. Plus other options and combinations (including getting a rent-to-own or Lease Option tenant in your property).There is another option that is available to you IF you can find the perfect opportunity; and5. Find the perfect situation where you not only have a desirable property, but can also get a lease back direct with the builder on your property. We will go into some details on the last option in a bit, but let me first go over some basics first.BASICS OF RENTING YOUR GO ZONE PROPERTYThere are 2 separate parts of renting out your GO Zone property; leasing and property management. While these are related to one another and can be performed by the same individual, knowing what is involved for each will help you make the decision on which path to proceed down.Property Leasing.This step should be performed as soon as possible after closing on your property. Some people/groups even get started on this right before closing (as long as they note such in all their ads and marketing). This involves advertising and marketing your property to potential renters, showing the property as necessary, taking rental applications, performing your due diligence on the renter (anywhere from calling references to full background and credit checks). In addition, you have the task of getting the lease agreement in place, and getting a property condition report signed by both parties as to what the property condition was like before the tenant moves in. This can save a lot of headaches down the road when (not if) the tenant does move out.If done effectively and correctly the first time, you will enjoy rental income soon after closing. Rent-up times (the time it takes to get a renter in place) greatly depends on the property, location, rental rates, and the effectiveness and experience of the person performing these tasks.Property Management.Ok, so now that you have a tenant in place and received that initial deposit and the first month&#8217;s rent, now the real work begins. Management of your property involves collecting your monthly rent, making sure that your tenant is adhering to the terms of the lease, answering any questions from your tenant, getting funds to the property owner (if managed by someone other than the owner), fielding requests for repairs, arranging for repairs, evicting the tenant (if necessary), and arrange for the clean up of the property prior to getting a new tenant in place.SUMMARYAs you can see, there is a lot involved with marketing your property for rent, getting a tenant into your property, and keeping that tenant as long as possible so that you can continue getting the desired cash flow for the property. As mentioned above, there is another option to this process and that would be to get a property where the GO Zone Builder is offering a leaseback.A WORD OF CAUTION: The property has to make sense even before considering the leaseback offer. In short, single family homes with a 12-month leaseback should be considered. Personally, I would stay away from, as an example, a condo or multi-family (i.e. duplexes) with a multi-year leaseback. Why? Exit strategy for multi-family is hard (especially in the GO Zone) and condos without the leaseback (and any other short term rental property) are VERY hard to rent out given the competition in the GO Zone. </p>

  214. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The managers or entrepreneurs are the leaders who can shape the success of their organization. For a successful run, a leader needs to ensure that the business carries out its internal and core operations Organizational Behavior plays a vital role in any enterprise&#8217;s success. It outlines the system in which the company will run, where it&#8217;ll fit in the industry and it also decides the future of the company. It defines the vision, mission, and goals of the company and outlines a way in which the members of the company will interact with each other. Thus, every manager or entrepreneur should learn the core principles of Organizational Behavior for the success of the business. Here are a few more reasons that exemplify the significance of the study of organizational behavior:</p>
  215. <p>1. It helps in understanding the mission of the enterprise<br />
  216. Every organization has its quintessence or its purpose of carrying out the intended operations. Organizational behavior aids the entrepreneurs in defining the task of the organization- what a company will do and how it&#8217;ll do it. It defines an infrastructure that will be followed by the company throughout its run. It also emphasizes on establishing a mission statement that the company wants to achieve through its operations. The mission is not only monetary but it speaks of the company&#8217;s culture and aims at bringing a change in the lives of the customers, stakeholders and all the people involved with the company. The mission statement tells everyone about the goals of the organization and can be used to gauge the effectiveness of its operations.</p>
  217. <p>2. It aids in establishing clear expectations<br />
  218. The organizational behavior not only helps in establishing a mission, but it also helps the managers or entrepreneurs in setting expectations for the employees, stakeholders as well as the customers. It helps in formulating the chain of command performed by each employee and also decides the kinds of vendors and customers the company should expect.</p>
  219. <p>3. It helps in better decision making<br />
  220. The organizational behavior paves way for uniformity in the company and its core values. The establishment of the uniform mission, actions and messages facilitate the managers to make better decisions that are fruitful for the company. Organizational Behavior entails an identity to the organization so the managers can make their decision aligning with the nature of operations of the organization.</p>
  221. <p>4. It ensures that managers hire the right person<br />
  222. The employees are the main pillars of organizational behavior. The people that bring new ideas and passion to the organization are considered as the perfect employees for the organization. If the organizational behavior is clearly defined, the newly employed candidates can easily understand their duties and it also makes easy for the managers to hire the right people and communicate with them effectively.</p>

  253. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Monthly payments make up an important element of the auto loan. The amount of money that you will pay each month depends on a number of things; such as the money you put down, the value of the car, loan term, your current income and credit score, etc. Many a times people wish to repay their auto loan earlier than their term or wish to get the loan refinanced. Understanding the effect of paying your loan early vis-à-vis making timely payments can help you in making a well-informed decision.</p>
  254. <p>Pay Early or Pay on Time: The Auto Loan Question</p>
  255. <p>· Are you interested in making Early Payments?</p>
  256. <p>You know you are a financially adept individual when you think about paying your auto loan early rather than spending the money on frivolous things. The following pros and cons of prepayment will take you one step closer in making the right decision.</p>
  257. <p>Pros: The reduction in the interest amount can help you save a great deal of money. Paying off your auto loan early gives you the financial freedom to use that money elsewhere. Secondly, if you are going to receive a large sum of money in the near future, it is wise to prepay your loan instead of spending it elsewhere. It will make your debt-free early and allow you to live a tension-free life.</p>
  258. <p>Cons: Timely auto loan payments mean that you have planned your finances in an efficient way. If you repay your loan all at once, it may project that you are unable to manage your credit. Remember prepayment of your auto loan will not hurt your credit score, however, it will not improve the score either.</p>
  259. <p>· Do you believe Timely Payments are a Good Choice in the Long Run?</p>
  260. <p>Small payments made every month can surely have a positive impact on your credit rating. The following pros and cons will help you clarify the advantages and disadvantages of timely payments.</p>
  261. <p>Pros: Timely payments made every month are certain to keep your credit score in check. Many a times people may forget to make the payments on time. However, automatic bank payments can help you to keep your payments regular. A shorter loan term with timely payments will help you in obtaining lower interest rates and an overall cheaper auto loan deal in the future.</p>
  262. <p>Cons: An automatic timely payment means that you will have to maintain a certain balance in your bank account, which may temporarily block your finances. A certain amount of your income gets allocated to the monthly payment. Compared to a prepayment strategy, timely monthly payments carry less financial freedom.</p>
  263. <p>Your Auto Loan Payment Schedule: What is Best for you?</p>
  264. <p>Income is an important element that decides which option you should choose between paying your auto loan early and making timely payments. If your monthly payment is manageable and your income supports the loan, you should opt for timely payments. However, if your income source is unstable and you require a car on an immediate basis, you should opt to make a prepayment of your entire loan. On the basis of your financial situation and circumstances, make the wiser choice.</p>
