Young Females – Society’s New Breadwinners

Wednesday, November 26th, 2008

A new report, published by Andrew Beveridge, a sociologist at Queens College in New York City, indicates that young women are outearning their male counterparts in major urban areas. The trend is for these women to delay marriage and childbirth, allowing them to develop a career before settling down. This of course is a major change from previous generations, where the norm was for young women to marry and have children at a relatively young age, typically in their early twenties.

The report goes on to say that more women are currently graduating from college than men, and after graduation, are flocking to these high-paying urban areas. “Women have gone ahead and gotten better educated than men and they’re able, in certain ways, to navigate better in the new economy,” says Beveridge. Logic dictates that it’s only a matter of time until this trend spreads beyond the big cities into the nation as a whole. It has become a new reality.

This young, female demographic is money driven. They have chosen to create their own future by taking control over their finances today. No longer comfortable with the notion of living off a spousal income, these women are focused, first and foremost, on their careers and on financial independence. And not only do they have significant earning power, but they are shrewd investors as well, aggressively setting the stage for their long-term financial independence.

With the goal of making lots of money squarely on the table, more and more of these women are realizing that an internet-based business can become the vehicle they are seeking to drive their incomes and personal wealth. As astute students of professional growth and financial independence, they are turning to self-employment as a means of augmenting their professional careers with a lucrative sideline that they can pursue from home.

They are also smart enough not to reinvent the wheel. These women are searching for turnkey business opportunities that are ready to roll, right out of the box. Their entrepreneurial spirit is driven by a desire for wealth and the finer things in life, as opposed to a need to build a monument to themselves. Maybe that will come later, maybe not. For now the primary goal is to launch a profitable new business, and to make lots of money.

Who’s Going To Be the Next Irish Millionaire?

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

In my career, as a big event promoter I’ve met a lot of wealthy, and extremely wealthy people and would like to share the ten most common traits that I’ve noticed in the people who have become most financially successful, so that you can begin your journey to becoming Ireland’s next Millionaire.

1. They make decisions – they don’t talk about it, they decide either way and move ahead. As the old saying goes, would you rather be glad you did or wish you had,

2. Come up with an idea – this is where all the money in the world comes from. People who have money have all benefitted from good ideas in some shape or form. Consider McDonalds, Microsoft, Google, Ebay you name it. They all began with an idea, and by acting on your own ideas you too can begin to make your fortune,

3. Formulate a plan – a bad plan is better than no plan, or as Roy Keane put it during his famous spat with Mick McCarthy, ex Manager of the Ireland squad “by failing to prepare, we were preparing to fail.”
Figure out the steps that you’re going to need to take to get to where you want to go, roughly how long its going to take, and who do you need to get onboard to help you,

4. Take action, do something, get started – the best ideas in the world don’t mean anything or count for anything, unless you act upon them. Action is the secret ingredient to major success in life, and if you look around to those who are successful in your own community, it is extremely likely that you will notice that are always in motion, always active,

5. Observe what happens next – by getting into motion you are developing a prerequisite for success. This doesn’t mean that you’re going to make a hole in one with your first shot though, so pay attention to the results you’re getting. Find out what you need to be measuring in order to know if you’re succeeding or failing,

6. Correct, adapt, improve, increase – when you’re succeeding you will want to gently improve things to further increase your results. If you’re not, the sooner you notice and begin to make changes the better. Sometimes the difference between success and failure can be ever so slight,

7. Manage your stuff – whatever it is that you want in life, you must manage it. Good health requires a balance of work, relaxation, exercise and nutritous food. Financial success requires healthy positive cashflow that exceeds outgoings, and an excellent understanding of your own individual personal financial circumstances. The key is in paying atention to whatever it is that you want more of,

8. Persist – as Winston Churchill put it – “Never give up. Never give up. Never give up.” it doesn’t get much clearer than that. To succeed you simply must persist, and its only when the going is tough that you will ever truly test this ability,

9. Reinvest/Diversify – When the profits start rolling in what are you going to do now. Sit down and figure it out. How much goes where, back into the business, into your pocket, to charity wherever. Get a smart plan that will ensure the longevity of your success,

10. Celebrate – A life worth living is a life worth celebrating. By celebrating your victories, however small you will get the opportunity to celebrate more of them.

I wish you luck!

How Can the Irish Overcome the Biggest Recession in 80 Years!

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

The fact of the matter is the Irish can and will survive this recession, and any other one that’s thrown at us ever. The Irish are survivors, fighters and as the saying goes, tough times don’t last but tough people do.

But, if you’re like me you won’t be interested in just surviving. We’ve got one shot at this life and we owe it to give it our absolute best, living it to the full and enjoying every precious second.

In a nutshell, to prosper and thrive (rather than just survive), we’ve got to do something different. We are entering a time of extraordinary change where much of what we know no longer fits the current world we live in. Like the industrial revolution we are now entering a technological revolution.

Information is now delivered at light speed, mobile phones, texts, the internet, blue tooth, skype, 3G – you name it. Things will never be the same again. Potential opportunity awaits as you open each email. Its now possible to make more money in a day, that many people in the old paradigm earn in a lifetime, and it behoves us to seize these chances for a better life.

The penny has dropped with big business, and they’re automating as much as they can. They’re downsizing, digitalising and nanoising everything. They don’t want to employ as many people as they used to, and in many ways this is good. It frees people up to pursue other ways to make a living and to further contribute to the world we live in.

The way forward is going to be through taking personal responsibility for own future, for your financial well being and that of your family. Government or the state or some big employer is categorically not going to look after you. But they never were really, that was just a myth.

The future is a wave of small home businesses across Ireland delivering specialised services and products to customers all over Ireland, the UK, Europe and the world. The internet is going to play a huge part in this business transformation, and believe me its only getting started, because we’re only getting started.

This business model will feature heavily the network marketing goods and services, particularly health products. The reason why this will work will be because while we currently have much of the technology to serve every problem that we have ever invented, too few of us know how to use it, how its relevant. Network marketing works in that it recruits raving fan customers to sell its goods, and encourages support between members. Who knows better how a product works and how if at all its relevant to you than a raving fan.

The internet with its teleseminar and webinar capabilities will be the chosen medium for delivering messages to the masses, and internet marketing is predicted to explode.

The thing is we have choice, we have options, we have free will. We always do, and we can choose to stay exactly where we are and wait until things go back to the way they were, or we can step forward and embrace our future, knowing that to do this we must change, by beginning to learn the new way and starting to do things differently.

We’re extremely interested in the future. If you want to see exactly how to make the changes that can transform your future, go to – http://www.ThinkAndGetRichBootcamp.com and sign up for our FREE Success Tips.

How To Get Wealthy In Ireland With Serendipity!

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

Serendipity means the seemingly random things that are continually going on in our lives, that we feel that we are not controlling or in control of. Sometimes these things seem good to us at the time and sometimes they don’t.

However, its only with a large serving of hindsight that we can ever really tell. And the interesting thing is that with hindsight, its often the things that we didn’t like at the time that were some of our most valuable experiences. The things that challenge and shape us, that make us more, stronger, more resilient, more compassionate. And often better people.

Some typical examples are the minor car crash where you meet your future wife, or the day that you sleep in missing your bus, the same day that it crashes, or for me the day that we went to a boxing event in Belfast that was cancelled, but that led to lunch meeting that has taken my career in a totally different direction ever since.

For many years, the Irish and even foreign visitors had a sense that Ireland was a backward place, that had been only lightly touched by civilization. It was so pronounced, that many of the Irish who travelled overseas had something of an inferiority complex. They were content to take what they were given, and often did the hard labour work required to build and rebuild cities after the war.

Though at the time many of the indiviuals who laboured at such tasks may not have had a great sense of identity or esteem with these same projects, it is serendipitous that the Irish developed a solid reputation for being able to take on and complete large projects including actually building New York, and rebuilding much of England including London after the war.

The Irish took their misfortune – the drudgery of hard labour, and turned it into a tremendous advantage in that Irish firms now undertake and complete some of the largest and most impressive construction projects all over the world and have exemplified themselves as master craftsmen that consistently get the job done.

And in relation to the backward country of Ireland, it is now renowned as one of the beautiful and unspolit countries in all the world, with outstanding natural beauty, and a booming tourist trade.

In the words of the famous English poet, the thorn bush has roses.

Today, it is absolutely imperative that we look beyond the media to our natural strengths and seek to use these to create phenomenal wealth for ourselves, our neighbours and our country.

It is the unreasonable man who can truly make progress, and for this reason we must unreasonably expect to create tremendous wealth for ourselves and all those around us during our lifetimes. If serendipity teaches us anything it is that, what the average guy can reasonably expect to happen often doesn’t and that in the final outcome things always work out just fine.

Commit to a wealthier future and serendipity will lead the way.

Serendipity has lead you to read this article. Why not take the next step, and check out -

Equipment Financing: Equip Your Business For Success!

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

“Obtain the right equipment, software and furniture for your business whether small-scale or large-scale- to ensure proper and optimum operations, thereby ensuring success and profit”.

All successful business managers know that in order to produce the best and most efficient results, regardless of the nature and type of industry that the business is in, the workforce must be properly equipped in order to deliver that.

There are several types of equipment financing to choose from. However, many have safely derived ‘equipment leasing’ as the best way to go.

First of all, equipment financing through leasing offers the least strain in capital. Imagine being able to reserve your working capital for activities and other investments that directly result to increased profit.

Through leasing, complete financing on large ticket items that heavily drain company budgets can be converted to monthly, tax-deductible payments within your means.

In fact, leasing not only preserves operating capital, it also results to significant savings for the business. Fixed rate lease saves the company from variable interest rates, enabling operators to precisely predict monthly payments.

Also, as mentioned above, equipment leasing is tax-deductible. Because cost of leasing is considered as a business expense, the monthly payments are then subject to tax. And, since the equipment is leased at the rate of the time of purchase, the operator is likewise protected from future inflation.

Apart from preserving operational capital, a separate credit line is established through leasing, thereby freeing up bank credit lines.

Consequently, this results to continued strength in borrowing in case the need arises. No money has been borrowed; therefore cash credits are still available for the daily transactions of the business.

The term ‘total financing’ also deserves close attention in the discussion on equipment leasing. In contrast to conventional bank loans or bank financing where some costs like delivery, service contracts and taxes among others are not inclusive; these miscellaneous but necessary expenses may be incorporated in the cost of lease.

Furthermore, equipment financing through leasing is convenient. No down payment is required. Instead, an equivalent of one or two advanced payments is only needed. Documentation is easier and faster, with direct impacts on the business decision-making processes.

Now, let’s talk about depreciation. Depreciation is inevitable for most, if not all, equipments, software and furniture. This is the hard truth. So, in this aspect, direct purchase would certainly not be the smartest investment option; another plus point for equipment lease financing.

The tricky thing about buying, say, a long-term equipment, is that after a period of time, that equipment becomes out-dated and obsolete, more specifically in relation to your growing company’s current operational needs.

In equipment leasing, equipment updates, add-ons or even trade-ins are possible. Actually, leasing terms with regard to expiration date may be timed to suit the productive life span of the equipment.

Now, with all points taken into consideration, it is no wonder that many clever business operators prefer equipment financing through leasing.

Keep this in mind. Consider Equipment Leasing Financing to help in the positive development of your business, improved productivity, and raise cash flow to give your business the edge above all competition.

Get Transcription Work From Home Without Medical Transcription Training

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

Do you want to get typing work? Consider transcription.

Transcription can provide you with many hours of typing work. Transcription is simply typing what’s dictated.

You don’t need to be a medical transcriptionist to provide transcription services. When speaking about transcription, people think about medical transcription.

In addition to medical professionals, a wide range of individuals and organizations outsource transcription services. Your clients may include insurance companies, financial institutions, authors, consultants, focus groups and public speakers.

Business transcription does not require any knowledge of medical terminology.

If you are a transcriptionist, be aware of the growing popularity of digital dictation and transcription. Although the majority of physicians and businesses are still using tapes to record dictation, many are starting to use digital voice recorders.

To provide transcription services, you will need a transcription machine. Transcribers have a headset and foot pedal that allows you to stop and rewind the cassette with your feet while having your hands available for typing.

Traditional audio tape transcription includes standard cassette transcription, micro cassette and mini tape transcription. These are typically referred to as cassette transcription or tape transcription.

Until you have a client, you won’t know which size cassettes you’ll need. Talk to your prospective clients before buying any transcription equipment.

Digital transcription is becoming more popular and can provide you with additional typing work from long-distance clients who are looking for transcriptionists to perform transcription work from home.

Here’s how digital dictation and transcription works:

Your clients dictate into a handheld digital voice recorder, upload the files from their recorder to their computer with a USB cable, send an email message to a transcriptionist, and attach the digital files.

Digital transcription has many benefits for the transcriptionists. The audio quality is usually much better than tapes. You can move easier and faster to specific places in the dictation and you have more control over the playback speed. You don’t have to pick-up and deliver tapes.

When the medical transcriptionists receive the email, they can open the file and bring it into their computer with specialized software. They can convert the digital file to different formats, but the most popular file format is the “wav” format.

Specialized transcription software and a foot pedal allow the transcriptionist to move through the digital voice file just like you do when transcribing from a tape. After transcribing the files, the transcriptionist emails the finished work back to the client as an attachment.

The foot pedal is connected to your computer through the USB or serial port. A foot pedal that comes with a tape transcriber will not work. You also need an Internet connection, an email account, and a word processing software program such as Microsoft Word that will work with your digital file transcribing system.

Some foot pedals have the ability to convert files recorded on almost every type of digital handheld recorder. This allows you to perform transcription work for many clients, regardless of the type of digital voice recorder they use.

If you are not looking into transcription work, you may miss opportunities to typing work from home on a contract basis.

Home Businesses Take Ireland Out of Recession!

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

The future for the Irish economy is bright for those who grasp the opportunities presented by the new world that we’re all moving into, make no mistake about that.

Now is truly a time of incredible transition. Yes, the internet arrived over 10 years ago, and the first crash has already occurred, and while some prospered and some didn’t, the revolution has been pretty quiet.

It happened quietly to begin with. Initially, the change that it represented wasn’t compelling or necessary enough for many to take the leap of faith and immerse themselves in what is without question the single most age transforming development of our lifetimes, bar none.

The age that the we’re living through, and right now in particular can be compared to the industrial revolution. Everything is about to change forever.

We’re entering a new era where those who refuse to accept personal responsibility for determining the make up of their lives will perish. This shift has been happening gradually, over the last twenty plus years, however the following events have fast forwarded things big time, the credit crunch, failure of and challenges to many central banks, bankruptcy of small countries and the immediate realisation
that big companies don’t have the financial strength or certainty, nor the desire to look after you, no matter how good an employee you were. We know this.

I repeat, we must more than ever acknowledge that we are responsible for our financial destiny, as a part of our greater ultimate destiny. What this means is that we must seize the opportunity to create a prosperous and wealthy future that we can enjoy, and refuse to neglect this duty any longer, by abdicating this responsibility to “the boss”.

You are the boss. Ignore this at your peril. You’re the boss of you, your money, your finances, the role you play or don’t in your family, your relationships, everything.

Lets start at the beginning. So what has changed, and how can the internet help me? The model of the world that you were brought up to believe in is over. Go to school, study hard, get a good job and work hard, and when you retire you’ll have a nice pension, is no more. Its now do all of the above and then get made redundant, and by the way if you have a pension its probably worthless, because the stock market crashed, and we couldn’t afford to contribute as much as we should have. We all see daily evidence of this new reality.

The internet differs in that you set it up, either learn how to, or pay someone to. You learn a new skill, and this is essential because the internet, like every other facet of our lives (even though we pretend they don’t), is guaranteed to change.

You learn how the different pieces of the jigsaw fit together and by diligently figuring it out, either on your own, or with the help of others you will begin to make money. A little to start with, and then the amounts will increase. That’s just how it works.

Do yo want the master key – here it is, get started now.

Joint Venture Marketing: Partnering for More Links Back to Your Site

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

Embarking on a joint venture marketing partnership is an excellent way to raise awareness for your company while simultaneously forming a new network of business relations that have the potential for highly profitable returns. What makes joint venture marketing so successful is the exponential exposure you gain as a result of the partnership. This type of partnership puts to use many traditional forms of Internet marketing, but because of the increased potential for exposure some of these strategies deserve a more in-depth look.

Linking Strategies Realized

Links to your site from other sites can lead to significantly increased traffic. A joint venture marketing partnership is a key component when capitalizing on the importance of linking strategies.

One of the first steps to take in your new joint venture will be the mutual exchange of advertising rights on your partners’ site. This often includes a link to your company’s website from the advertisement on your partners’ site. With this first primary component you’ll immediately start the all-important Internet linking strategy, which can greatly increase traffic to your site.

Further Linking Strategies

Once you have formed a joint venture marketing partnership, you will most likely notice an immediate increase in traffic to your site. However, to continue to be successful, you should capitalize on the fresh energy generated by this new partnership. Submitting your site to key directories will help increase the visibility of your company through the advertising of your joint venture.

Google and other major search engines consider “link popularity” (the number of incoming hits or links to your website) as a very important factor in assigning ranking to your company’s website. The more links you have, the higher your rank will be in their search engine. The higher your rank, the more traffic there is driven to your site.

Strategies to Gain Link Popularity

If you don’t have enough link popularity to score high on the Google rankings, don’t lose heart. There are other ways to get your marketing partnership and individual business noticed. You may want to construct a website specifically for your new venture in addition to the advertising that you mutually conduct on each other’s sites. If you do create a third party site, submitting the new site to key directories will help your Internet ranking as well as increase traffic.

Remember, it’s free to list in some directories such as the Open Directory Project but make sure to list your business site as well as your joint venture site, and you can garner a very important back link that will boost your search rankings. Yahoo! Directory is an important site to be listed in, but requires a $299 annual fee, as do some other commercial sites. However, since you are now part of a joint venture marketing partnership, you can share the costs of the annual fee for things like directory listings.

A joint venture marketing partnership not only increases your business community and an awareness for your business, but it also offers new financial resources such as paid advertising and directory listings which on your own, you may not be able handle from a financial standpoint.
