“If one advances confidently in the direction of his
dreams and endeavors to live the life which he has
imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in
common hours.” - Henry David Thoreau

1. No focus and commitment.

You need to decide what you will be doing and when you
will do it. You need to evaluate the price of the
achievement, what it will cost you in time and effort.
Is it worth it to you?

2. No short term and long term goals.

Without clear cut goals there will be no progress.
Set goals that are attainable on a daily, monthly
and yearly basis.

3. Indecision.

Make that decision quickly. Take time to change
your decision.

4. No action.

Of course we know where most couch potatoes are. Right!

5. No mentor.

Find a mentor in areas that you are working on.
Every successful man and woman has had mentors.

6. No clear cut dream or future reality, destination.

Make sure you dream cleary and specifically, making
it real.

7. No plan to finance income production or startup
be it large or small.

Even the smallest enterprises need some financing on
a regular basis such as small ads, printing or postage.

8. Lots of opportunity tire kicking but no true desire
to go for it.

Its ok to evaluate several enterprises that you may
want to begin, key word BEGIN. You must narrow it
down to your top ten list, then top five, then pick the
best out five of begin.

9. Getting ready to get ready.

Once you have the vehicle, get in, start it, put it in
drive and go.

10. No marketing or salesmanship

You must market your business. If you do not then your
not in business. If you do not sell well, enlist some help.
The internet is a great place to start inexpensively.

With the advent of the radar gun the police are able to determine a motorist’s speed effectively and efficiently. They just point and shoot and in that split second they can tell how fast over the limit you were speeding.

Radar guns are a huge convenience for police. They clock the speed precisely, and it gives them the ability to determine from a fair distance away who is speeding and who is obeying that traffic law.

If you are stopped by a policeman or woman who has used their radar gun to record your speed, all hope is not lost. There are steps that you can take once the ticket has been issued that may result in you beating the speeding ticket.

Radar guns are machines. Machines malfunction. This is the key point when you decide to plead not guilty and forego the fine to appear in court. Depending on the size of your fine and its impact on not only your driving record but insurance premiums, this might be a worthwhile defense to pursue.

There are steps you need to take before your court date to validate your claim of “not guilty.” Some jurisdictions will make available information related to law enforcement.

The information that you are concerned about is the radar or laser equipment that the police are using. If this is public information, you’ll need to get documentation regarding the make of the radar gun, the city or county’s maintenance record, if possible the maintenance record on the radar gun that was used the day you received your speeding citation.

There is also documentation on the training of officers in the use of radar guns. It is worthwhile to try and obtain this information in regards to the officer who issued your ticket.

Experience might play a part in your defense; that being his or her experience with the equipment.

Being prepared is paramount when taking this into court.

People make mistakes and although trying to argue that the officer was pointing the radar gun at the car next to you and not yours probably won’t work, knowing the equipment and how it operates will be a huge benefit to you.

When you do appear in court, the officer who issued you the speeding citation will be present as well. If your defense is with the machinery, he will be expected to answer questions regarding his or her handling of the radar gun.

Some of these questions might include when the radar gun last went through maintenance, if there has been any error with the gun in the past or since your ticket was issued.

Also the manner in which the police officer handles the gun and records the speed will be addressed.

It puts much of the onus of proof on the officer and the piece of equipment that recorded your speed. If the judge feels that there is reasonable doubt you might win your case and save yourself the fine.

Have you ever taken part in that debate? The one where someone tries to prove that some product in their home was purchased for purely logical reasons, with no emotion involved?

They never can win. Even a kleenex becomes emotional when you can’t find one. The same applies to choosing which brand to buy of all the choices available for most products. You choose the brand that makes you feel the best, even if it means choosing a specific brand of canned peas because once upon a time your Mother told you that to serve less meant feeding your family sub standard meals.

How does that apply to you as a marketer… or as an individual selling a used car or the snowsuit your child outgrew?

It means your first job is to show people how good they’ll feel when they buy what you offer. Never mind the features, go first for the feelings. The features come later, as logical proof that they’ve made the right choice.

You might start your snowsuit ad with a verbal picture of a child staying warm and dry. The used car might be a big gas guzzler… but focus on how good it will feel when everyone can stretch out their legs… and how convenient it will be to take everyone in the same car on your next outing. Or…it might be a sporty little job that makes you feel like a kid as you zip down the freeway.

If you offer a cleaning service, talk first about how your customers will be free to pursue work or hobbies and still come home to a fresh-smelling, sparkling clean house where they can relax and enjoy the evening. Then go in to how you use environmentally friendly cleaners, remember to clean every little corner, and don’t mind walking the dog while you’re there.

Whatever you offer, remember that emotions create the desire and logic backs it up. You need both, but if all you offer is logic, it will be a tough sale. It isn’t always easy. Sometimes you have to uncover hidden benefits that appeal to emotions people don’t necessarily want to talk about.

Those are emotions such as pride, as in: “I have a cleaner house than my best friend. (And that means I’m a better wife.)” “My car is much cooler than my brother’s. (And that means I’m going to get the girls.)” “My children are warmer… meaning I’m a better Mom or Dad. (And that means my own Mom is going to approve of me at last.)”

Dig deep, find those benefits before you start to write, and tap into the emotions that cause your customers to buy.

Happy writing!

Silver is long being used as a precious metal for making jewelry. The superb ductility and favorable malleability make it an ideal material for jewelry. The most important characteristic that makes silver so widely popular is its wide availability that makes it not as costly as gold or platinum.

Don’t let the easy access of obtaining credit cards drive you in debt. Often time, people take advantage of the easy access to credit cards and run up a large total with not having any plan or money to pay it off. The interest rates are usually high making it more difficult to pay off.

Often time’s people will switch from job to job until they finally enjoy what they are doing. If they had been contributing to a 401(k), many will borrow from it or cash it out when the leave the company.

With the price of real estate on the rise, people will often times take out home-equity loans which offsets most or all of the potential rise in their wealth by more debt.

The average credit card carrying household carries more than $8,000 in credit card debt. The interest rate typically runs around 17%, which comes out to about $1400 a year in interest. Say for instance, instead of paying that interest, you invested $1400 a year earning 8% annually, you’d have almost $160,000 after 30 years.

If you are ready to tackle your debt, here are a few tips to get you started.

Get to know your debt, all of it. Know all of your balances, the interest rates of each, whether it is deductible, and if you’ll face any penalties for paying an account off early. Call your lender and ask if you don’t know the answers, and most importantly, write everything down.

Next, prioritize your debt. Your debts can be divided into deductible and non-deductible debt. Examples of non-deductible debt, meaning you get no tax break include credit cards, car loans, and personal loans. Examples of deductible debt include home equity loans and some student loans but will depend on your income. Then rank your debts, deductible and non deductible from highest interest rate to the lowest in two separate piles.

Delete your debt. Start with your highest rate of non-deductible debt or with the smallest balance of non-deductible debt. Starting with the smallest will give you satisfaction for paying the debt off fast. Regardless, you should pay as much money as you can towards your first debt elimination target. Once your first debt is paid off, keep contributing the same amount of money to your next target. Continue with this process until all your non-deductible debt is paid off. Then target your deductible debt. For more information please visit http://www.militaryfinances.com
