A Virtual Office Keeps You Organized!<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: book antiqua, palatino;">If you are the current owner of a small business, then you understand how much time and effort it takes to make sure that every aspect of your business receives the attention necessary to make it prosperous. There are reports to prepare, bills to pay, decisions to be made, customers to please, laws to follow, and more. This makes it necessary that you either fully understand the variety of information that a business owner must know, or hire others that tend to specialize in one or more of these areas.</span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: book antiqua, palatino;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: book antiqua, palatino;">Free Agents </span></span></strong><br />
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: book antiqua, palatino;">Many business owners find it necessary to occasionally (or often!) hire outside help. This was they are not only giving themselves the time they need for other projects, they are able to have that peace of mind that comes with hiring someone who specializes in a particular area. This way they know that the job they need help with will be accomplished in the most professional manner possible, which truly helps the business in its quest for success.</span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: book antiqua, palatino;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: book antiqua, palatino;">When you first decide to hire a free agent, you'll most likely ask around for recommendations. Word-of-mouth is one of the most preferred ways that business owners use for obtaining additional resources. Once you've found a free agent and established that critical, professional working relationship that works well for both of you, you'll want to be sure to do everything in your power to keep that relationship strong.</span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: book antiqua, palatino;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: book antiqua, palatino;">Get Organized!</span></span></strong><br />
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: book antiqua, palatino;">A professional working relationship is one that requires that both parties employ the best methods currently available so that the relationship is a benefit to the both of you. Since hiring a free agent can be occasional as well as frequent, you'll want to set up a system that makes the relationship one that is easy to manage. Therefore, using a virtual office allows you all the necessary tools so that the lines of communication are easily accessible, which will be highly appreciated by both owner and agent.</span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: book antiqua, palatino;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: book antiqua, palatino;">Bottom Line</span></span></strong><br />
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: book antiqua, palatino;">Since there are so many different aspects to running a successful business you, as the business owner must learn how to effectively keep everything as organized as possible. This means that you must find the best methods that work for you and your particular business so that you are able to manage it in a way that allows you the critical time required to keep your business as prosperous as possible. Using the variety of virtual office services that Global Business Centers offers can give you not only this critical time, but also the convenience that using a virtual office can provide for both the business owner as well as the free agent.</span></span><br />Dan@GBChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12328278643238141620noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623429856898052144.post-79903951615898554272011-11-25T10:37:00.001-08:002011-11-25T10:37:16.043-08:00Jump In Anytime! There’s Always Room<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Are you that person who just cannot see yourself working for someone else, at least not long term? Many of us feel too darn independent – and perhaps passionate as well – to envision ourselves not being the one who calls the shots. It was not that long ago that starting a home-based business was a bit risky; the employee route seemed the safer bet. Then came the internet and all things mobile. Now, starting a business, whether on the side at first, or with full speed ahead, has been made a lot simpler, thanks to all the resources at our fingertips.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The spark behind it</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">A good indication of your future success as an entrepreneur is easily spotted if you can demonstrate any of the following:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt 1in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 1.0in; text-indent: -0.25in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">If you are reading this, you probably see one or more of those characteristics in yourself. However, keep in mind that not everyone does. Many would rather work for someone else and skip the responsibilities and the rewards. Fortunately, both the faithful employees and the fellow entrepreneurs comprise your potential customer list.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The groundwork</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">A large percentage of home-based businesses make things very easy to start up. If you decide to work as an independent contractor or distributor for an already existing company, you may not have to research anymore than what it takes to make sure they are reputable. They have already handled most of the groundwork. If your venture is totally stand alone, make sure you thoroughly check out all the rules governing licenses, taxation and name procurement. These can vary depending on your location. It is also a good idea to determine what kind of facilities are needed, such as an occasional executive office or phone answering services. Even though your business is home-based, you want to maintain a professional appearance.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">What to expect </span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The aforementioned part about “responsibilities” comes before its counterpart, “rewards.” Having your own home-based business does not mean you have no boss. You will probably be the most demanding boss ever, which is the way it is suppose to play out. Be prepared to work harder and longer if you want to succeed. Find a mentor, someone who has already been through it, to give you support when you hit any challenges. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">All those amazing resources</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Some home based endeavors only need a laptop and cell phone, but for those that are more elaborate, there are so many options to make your daily operations streamlined. <a href="http://www.gbcone.com/company-information">Global Business Centers</a> offers a way for you to focus on what you do best as they virtually step in to be your telephone answering service, or even to supply a live receptionist. Need shared office space or a Beverly Hills address complete with a mailroom? Wherever you are and whatever you need – there really is no limit. What a great way to save on overhead, you get to pick and choose based on your personal needs.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The real R & R</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">There has never been a better time to start your own business. In today’s arena, it might be more secure than many jobs. Responsibilities and rewards are the best R & R. Taking the responsibility at the beginning is what makes the rewards even better. </span></div>Dan@GBChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12328278643238141620noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623429856898052144.post-32438272902489380492011-11-23T17:41:00.001-08:002011-11-23T17:42:44.980-08:00How your business can survive in a downturned economy<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"></span></span><br />
<div align="left">
There’s one main answer to the oft-asked question “how can I help my business survive in an economic crisis?” Cut costs. You heard me right! Your business can have a fighting chance even in the worst of economies, especially if you cut all unnecessary costs.</div>
<div align="left">
Economic downturns are bad, but they aren’t the end! Especially now that technology is on our side. So here are some ways to cut your small business’ costs.</div>
<div align="left">
Telecommute – even closing up shop a few days a month will help lower the cost of your utilities.</div>
<div align="left">
Cut down your paper use – not just in the printer, but also envelopes, paper towels and any other paper based supply.</div>
<ul>
<li><div align="left">
Keep track of your supplies – a note pad here, a pen there…it all adds up. </div>
</li>
<li><div align="left">
Keep your supplies in line – remind everyone that supplies are money.</div>
</li>
<li><div align="left">
Buy refurbished equipment and furniture – Fax machines, new desktops, chairs and just about anything else for the office can be bought refurbished.</div>
</li>
<li><div align="left">
Choose to go virtual – having a complete virtual office eliminates nearly 90% of your overhead while still allowing you to receive mail and phone calls. </div>
</li>
<li><div align="left">
Employees can work from home offices and save their time and money by cutting the commute!</div>
</li>
<li><div align="left">
Switching from a traditional office to a virtual one could make all the difference to your small business.</div>
</li>
<li>Cutting costs is imperative, and this move might be the biggest way to trim your expenses.</li>
</ul>Dan@GBChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12328278643238141620noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623429856898052144.post-15074141883923964892011-11-21T12:55:00.001-08:002011-11-21T12:55:20.715-08:00Doing What You Should With Your Time and Money<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: book antiqua, palatino;">If you think because of the title that this is going to order you around and tell you how to cut costs and budget your money, you are only partially right. Let’s narrow it down to the “nitty-gritty” of you and your business. Do you want to sit comfortably in your “executive office” and see more money flow in and less flow out? Along with enjoying what you do and offering a valuable service or product to others, that cash-in and cash-out thing should be your goal. Seems logical in black and white, but how often do we witness it in living color?</span></span><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: book antiqua, palatino;">The inflow</span></span></strong><br />
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: book antiqua, palatino;">Raise your hand if your business does not requiring promoting. If you raised yours, we need to talk. It does not matter what business you are in, you need to convince your customers or clients that you are the one, hopefully the only one. Nobody will get that across like you do because nobody cares as much. If you are not spending most of your time and energy creating new business, your cash-in will suffer. If you have a home-based business it is so easy to get distracted – you might find yourself looking for a client’s folder and somehow end up on the hallway floor playing <em>Junior Trivial Pursuit</em> with your 9 year-old. You certainly do not need to fill your head with all the stuff behind the scenes that prevents you from performing the activities that create the inflow of money. The ideal scenario is having enough money and lots of time, so you can play all the games you want.</span></span><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: book antiqua, palatino;">The outflow</span></span></strong><br />
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: book antiqua, palatino;">It is so easy to find things to do when you have a business. The amount of hats we wear is overwhelming. We become the errand runner, the accountant, the phone answering service and the mailroom all in a day’s routine. We probably even get to be the janitor, and if we need a location that requires a very professional appearance we put out the feelers for a real executive office or temporary office space. Who in the world has time to do what increases our cash-in when we are so busy wearing all those other necessary hats? Guess what? You can get rid of all those heavy hats and only wear the one with the big, gold, dollar sign.</span></span><a href="http://www.gbcone.com/"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: book antiqua, palatino;"> Global Business Centers</span></span></a><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: book antiqua, palatino;">, whether near you - or not - because it is a virtual world we live in, can solve the delegation issue. Stop doing what a virtual office can do for you. Cloning yourself in those important, but interfering, capacities will cost little and result in abundance. </span></span><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: book antiqua, palatino;">The best consequence of all</span></span></strong><br />
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: book antiqua, palatino;">Sometimes, we need to really look at what we do to keep our businesses running. If you think you cannot afford the relief of a virtual office system, make sure you look deeper. Many of us find reasons not to do what works best because we are afraid to do those activities that produce the most. We keep ourselves busy with the other stuff to avoid doing what counts. Raise your necessity level by delegating almost everything but passionate promoting. One of the best rewards is how much you will enhance that vital ability.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: book antiqua, palatino;">And, that is a basic guideline to follow for what you should do with your time and money.</span></span>Dan@GBChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12328278643238141620noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623429856898052144.post-27081136089223487932011-11-19T17:44:00.001-08:002011-11-21T12:55:42.271-08:00How the Economy Can Affect Our Lifestyle<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: 45.8pt 91.6pt 137.4pt 183.2pt 229.0pt 274.8pt 320.6pt 366.4pt 412.2pt 458.0pt 503.8pt 549.6pt 595.4pt 641.2pt 687.0pt 732.8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Courier New"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Depending on the type of job you have, and accordingly the salary you receive, will help dictate the type of lifestyle you live. Although most people tend to stick a budget, some budgets allow for only the necessities while others are able to set aside some money for discretionary spending, which can be quite fun. This has been the way of the workforce for a long time now, which is due to the variety of jobs that are currently available in our capitalistic society. </span></div>

Small business owners know this better than anyone, and are some of the most knowledgeable people when it comes to understanding the economic system. </span></div>

For those who have unfortunately been affected by the changing economy and find themselves having to change their lifestyle because of these effects, the need to cut back on expenses is most likely necessary. One of the areas where cutbacks can be made while still providing the same if not better services, is by means of<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>a virtual office. When you choose to use a virtual office, you are choosing a way to cut office overhead costs by nearly 90%, a very impressive number! </span></div>

For those fortunate enough to escape any negative effects that can be felt by many during a changing economy, a virtual office is also a great idea! First, you never know what the future holds so cutting overhead costs now is a really smart idea. Secondly, virtual offices are a forward-thinking idea, and are predicted to be more popular than traditional offices one day due to the ever-growing popularity of telecommunication. Lastly, virtual offices will save you time as others are able to assist in managing your calls and mail, giving you more time to spend focused on your small business. </span></div>

The upside is that there are more options, meaning more companies to partner with as well as a whole new base of people that may be interested in buying your particular product and/or service. The downside is the fact that there will be more competition, but this just means that you'll have to work a little harder when it comes to finding out some of the best ways in which you can acquire new customers.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />

Actually, those scenes are still probably pretty common, with many of us sitting at our desk in front of our personal computer for most of our work week. Even though we are based at home, we can take advantage of moving to the kitchen counter or the family room with our laptop or tablet. The real home office can now mean the whole house, unless you are smart enough to close the door to the “executive office,” at least sometimes, so you can have a break.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Moving out of the house</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">If your “shared office space” means sharing with a bedroom or even what seems to resemble a day care center, it can present a problem when professionalism is crucial.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Fortunately, about the same time we started acquiring cell phones and laptops, we also welcomed back coffee shops in a way never seen before. Who would have ever imagined we would be sitting in a living room setting with our own personal phone and hook up to cyberspace as we work with a client who joins us, or even another entrepreneur we meet. This coffee shop office environment takes on new meaning in many areas where the selling of coffee is worked around a bigger purpose for the location, which is to provide the perfect setting for those running their own business. Hence, the home office becomes the coffee shop office. A good example of this can be seen with Starbucks strategy called “third place marketing.” They want to be the third place in your life after home and office, and they certainly contribute to the coffee shop office idea with that strategy.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Moving beyond</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Whether you work in your home, a coffee shop, or even your car most of the time, one thing is certain; maintaining a business presence with the outside world is important. That professional presence is easy if you move into the world of the virtual office, and you don’t need to rent a moving van. Visualize your business having all its needs met while you are still enjoying the atmosphere of home, or any other favorite place. <a href="http://www.gbcone.com/">Global Business Centers</a> is the perfect solution if you want to appear fully staffed without having the hassle and overhead of any employees. Totally different than needing to sign a lease to use services or space, a virtual office provides all the services, and even a physical location when needed. That means you get to pick and choose, within your budget, what will make your business prosper, such as virtual office suites, a live receptionist, temporary office space and even mailroom services. You can “pretend” you are wherever you want to be. Your business will look professional even as you sit by the pool or stand at the kitchen counter making cookies with your kids. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">What’s next?</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Each decade brings bigger and better concepts to help us all become more flexible with our lives. Although it is easy to think it could not get any more advanced, that we have the full answer or solution, be prepared! The virtual office may compliment both the home office and the coffee shop office, but it is highly likely that something in our future will trump it all!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><br />

There’s Always Room<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Are you that person who just cannot see yourself working for someone else, at least not long term? Many of us feel too darn independent – and perhaps passionate as well – to envision ourselves not being the one who calls the shots. It was not that long ago that starting a home-based business was a bit risky; the employee route seemed the safer bet. Then came the internet and all things mobile. Now, starting a business, whether on the side at first, or with full speed ahead, has been made a lot simpler, thanks to all the resources at our fingertips.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The spark behind it</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">A good indication of your future success as an entrepreneur is easily spotted if you can demonstrate any of the following:</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt 1in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 1.0in; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span><span dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">A unique idea that you see would fill a void for many</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt 1in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 1.0in; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span><span dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The ability to perform a service that is in demand</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt 1in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 1.0in; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span><span dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">A strong passion for products or services available from an established company that offers an opportunity to be a distributor or agent</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt 1in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 1.0in; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span><span dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">A burning desire to be your own boss no matter what</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">If you are reading this, you probably see one or more of those characteristics in yourself. However, keep in mind that not everyone does. Many would rather work for someone else and skip the responsibilities and the rewards. Fortunately, both the faithful employees and the fellow entrepreneurs comprise your potential customer list.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The groundwork</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">A large percentage of home-based businesses make things very easy to start up. If you decide to work as an independent contractor or distributor for an already existing company, you may not have to research anymore than what it takes to make sure they are reputable. They have already handled most of the groundwork. If your venture is totally stand alone, make sure you thoroughly check out all the rules governing licenses, taxation and name procurement. These can vary depending on your location. It is also a good idea to determine what kind of facilities are needed, such as an occasional executive office or phone answering services. Even though your business is home-based, you want to maintain a professional appearance.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">What to expect </span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The aforementioned part about “responsibilities” comes before its counterpart, “rewards.” Having your own home-based business does not mean you have no boss. You will probably be the most demanding boss ever, which is the way it is suppose to play out. Be prepared to work harder and longer if you want to succeed. Find a mentor, someone who has already been through it, to give you support when you hit any challenges. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">All those amazing resources</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Some home based endeavors only need a laptop and cell phone, but for those that are more elaborate, there are so many options to make your daily operations streamlined. <a href="http://www.gbcone.com/company-information"><span style="color: blue;">Global Business Centers</span></a> offers a way for you to focus on what you do best as they virtually step in to be your telephone answering service, or even to supply a live receptionist. Need shared office space or a Beverly Hills address complete with a mailroom? Wherever you are and whatever you need – there really is no limit. What a great way to save on overhead, you get to pick and choose based on your personal needs.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The real R & R</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">There has never been a better time to start your own business. In today’s arena, it might be more secure than many jobs. Responsibilities and rewards are the best R & R. Taking the responsibility at the beginning is what makes the rewards even better. </span></div>DannyDan@GBChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12328278643238141620noreply@blogger.com0Beverly Hills, CA, 90210 USA34.069767796157912 -118.4051246116393934.039884796157914 -118.43263161163939 34.09965079615791 -118.37761761163939
