Item Upon - Why Do We Settle? You Have the POWER to Change the Outcome
The day of decision has finally arrived; it’s time to lock down your choice of what to sell on eBay. If you’ve been doing your eBay homework you now know that there is almost no area, no matter how esoteric, that has been overlooked by the eBay community. Don’t despair; just because there are already eBay merchants selling the product you want to sell that doesn’t mean you can’t still make money. You will, however, have to approach your business with care and planning.Let’s say you’ve decided to combine your spouse’s Saturday morning habit of hitting garage sales and your Saturday morning habit of hitting the links into an eBay business. You’re going to offer “slightly used” golf clubs for the discriminating buyer. Sounds like a good idea. Let’s spend this Saturday morning hitting eBay. Try searching for golf clubs in a very generic way (putters, irons) and a very specific way (Callaway, Big B

Many folks know that our nation and business community is being turned over to the lawyers and therefore many parents want their kids to become a lawyer. But which kind of law should they practice?Should they become a class-action lawyer, which often destroy jobs in America and rape Corporations like John Edwards? Should they become a lawyer and then become a district attorney and parlay that into becoming a politician? One would suppose if misrepresentation runs in your family genes then that would make sense. Two-thirds of our politicians are lawyers and all the Judicial Branch.Franchise Law is a good place to work because you are dealing with a business model, which works best when there is a win/win situation. For instance when the franchisee makes money the franchisor is happy because they make money, extend brand name and are able to sell even more franchises.When a franchisee buy
Both of these stories involve members of my family, but in the interest of protecting their identity, I am using fake “nicknames”- even though I am very tempted to expose them, but I think they are already suffering enough. Recently, I was having a conversation with a family member who lives on the West Coast, and she was telling me how one of the bedrooms in her condo had suffered water damage a few weeks ago. (You may recall that certain states out West, California for example- hint, hint, received more rain than normal this year).
This water damage was making for some unhealthy breathing conditions in their home (can you say mold spores?), and the person who inhabited the once flooded bedroom had effectively moved out and was staying with friends until the damage to the room was repaired. Now, and this is the good part, I say to my family member on the West Coast, why have the necessary repairs not taken place yet? And she calmly explains to me that she has been back and forth with the condo association and the contractor, blah, blah, blah and “you just don’t understand. These people out here are very laid back. They are not in a big hurry to do anything, and if you get upset with them, they are hurt by it and ask you why you are yelling at them”. “Let them ask!” I yell. My blood pressure has gone up significantly while on the phone with this family member and I just cannot believe what I am hearing about the complete lack of action to this flooding problem. (I am also worried about the fact that West Coast, and friends, are living in a condo suffering from severe allergy-type ailments, caused by the mold spores, which was caused by the dampness emanating from the flooded bedroom, etc.). I make several recommendations on how to resolve this issue, for the interim- or longer, should these laid back people choose to never show up to make the repairs, and then I hang up and head for the shower, shaking my head along the way.

If you recently became a single parent and see your dreams being washed away because you feel all alone, you aren’t alone. There are single parents that face future endeavors alone like dating again, living on one income, and buying the home they’ve always imagined. It is possible to do things on your own, be successful, and enjoy every bit of getting to where you want to be in life.Being a single parent can be an everyday struggle but don’t feel you have to give up your goals in life just because you are on your own. At some point in life, people think about moving whether it is into an apartment, condo, or type of house. With raising children you usually need a little more space than living alone so a house is an ideal spot for many families either single parent families or both parent families. Don’t feel as a single parent that you wont be able to afford a house on your own. Here are a few

You probably already know what RSS is - it is a file format for syndicating news and the content of sites, in a very flexible manner. What you probably don't know is that creating a correct RSS feed is in many cases a very difficult task for webmasters. I am not talking about sites that supply just a few news a day, I am talking about sites that supply tens of news a day.Let's take for example a shareware site. For the site to become popular, it has to be always up to date and to contain all the latest releases. So, the webmasters have to search for the new titles and add them to their databases. Many of them offer their visitors the possibility to stay informed about the latest releases using RSS feeds, which contain their names, links and short descriptions of the new releases. Visitors interested in this kind of information subscribe to the RSS feeds, using web-based or desktop aggregators, like B

Like most times in my life, once I am in the shower with no distractions other than which shampoo to use, I begin to process things. This time I am focused on the phone conversation I’ve just had when suddenly I have an epiphany; you know, that “ah ha” moment that makes everything crystallize in front of you. So, while I am having this moment of clarity, I recall another conversation I had just two-days prior, with another family member, about his work situation. This person works for a relative of his and this person is not much of a go-getter, so work is slow and this puts my family member in a stressful financial situation. I asked the family member sitting at my kitchen table a few perfunctory questions as a means in which to offer alternatives and perhaps a few suggestions, but each question or recommendation was met with a combination of, “yep, tried that” and then a big sigh of resignation, the “making excuses and settling” type of sigh. I got up from the table feeling really dragged down by what this person was going through- call it the pain of empathy. Now these two discussions have converged in my mind and I begin mentally blurting out questions like, “why are they settling?”, and “why are they making excuses for these other people?” The answer is this; they are doing this because they have chosen to take a very passive role in these aspects of their lives. Instead of exerting their own personal power, and working to turn these situations around, they have abdicated their personal power and will to the very people for whom they are making excuses.
Eureka! Is this not exactly what those people want? They are not expected to be accountable and as such, they are not going to act responsibly, and “West Coast” and “Kitchen Table” are most certainly not going to hold them accountable because they have already given their power away in both of these situations.
And guess what? No one wins in either of these scenarios, or a million others like it that play out every day. I am fired up on behalf of “West Coast” and “Kitchen Table” and now that I’ve had my brilliant epiphany, I am going to have some follow-up dialogue with them and coach them to take charge, take back their power and get the mold out- no pun intended, and the money coming in. Now that I have resolved to do that, I’d like to give you just a little bit of background about what I consider personal power.
Allow me this quick tangent and I think you will see the connection. When I started my own business, I solicited a
