Small Business Tips

How can an entrepreneur lose his entire team, save one and rebound to the pinnacle of achievement among his peers?

Enduring the loss of an experienced team, finding jobs in other states for displaced employees to work, handling an emotionally distraught customer base - all while having no permanent office from August 2014 through June 2015. My team achieved the coveted Chairman's Circle honor from the company I represent for two consecutive years following Katrina's unwelcome visit.

How can you come back from that and make Chairman's Circle in two years?

That involved losing people, rebuilding, starting over, and moving 30 miles from our original office.

Very responsibly, the insurance company I represent had made a decision to restrict the amount of homeowner's insurance we could offer. Essentially, they had said, "We talked to some weather forecasters and we believe that in the near future a Category 5 hurricane will hit and destroy New Orleans."

At the time, all I could see was that they wanted to take my opportunity away. I thought they were making up this story about a Category 5 hurricane that would hit New Orleans. We hadn't had a big hurricane hit New Orleans since Betsy in 1965.

I had begun slowly disengaging years before, but I reached my highest level of disengagement in 2004-a year before Katrina would attempt to drown our hopes and dreams. I was very bitter and thought I knew more than the company. I focused more on being a scratch golfer than on leading my team and being the example.

If you can relate, don't stop reading now! Do you realize you already have read the solution? That solution is recommitment. Now is the time for you to consider not only reading about it, but it's time to start living the recommitment solution.

I read my goals for Chairman's Circle several times every day. I had them taped to my credenza and thought about them all day, every day.

I enrolled my team in an Agency Development Program (ADP). It helped us to reengage, identify the building blocks, and to focus on being there for others and making a difference in their lives. ADP was about growth, finding common ground, reassessment, and self-evaluation.

I stumbled upon tandem appointments, which helped take us to the top. There were training benefits, multiline benefits, revenue benefits, and higher value benefits. I embraced Paper Days & People Days. My lunch hour was always intentional.

Entrepreneurs and small-business people are the most important people in my city (yours too, in case you haven't thought about it). People look to you for leadership- economically and emotionally, whether it is verbalized or not. You are always being observed. Realize that others will model your behavior, especially if they perceive you as being in a position of power and influence. Therefore, be extremely protective of how you spend your time and who you spend it with. Live your life by appointment and schedule your appointments for your up- coming month first. Before all other appointments. Set appointments for yourself to be alone, to read, ponder and be.

Why did I become reengaged? Because I felt needed again. It became about the customers and not about me.

Please share your ideas about staying motivated, recommitting to your goals and becoming more successful. Remember, I am always available for a free virtual cup of coffee to discuss your business! I want you to be successful.

Tips Short Wigs for Black Women

noreply@blogger.com (AGNESSA STEVARA) — Mon, 31 Aug 2015 14:15:00 +0000

All wigs need to be shampooed regularly to keep them clean and in good condition. Your short wigs for black women, whether real hair or synthetic, should be shampooed at least every 10 to 14 days. If you work in conditions which can dirty the wig quickly, you may have to wash it more often. If the wig is exposed to conditions such as cigarette smoke, paint or oil fumes for instance you may want to wash it immediately after exposure to remove the odor which clings to the it.

To shampoo your short wigs for black women properly fill up the bathroom wash basin, about half full or more, with cool to lukewarm water. Use wig shampoo which is specially made for this purpose. If you cannot obtain wig shampoo use mild baby shampoo as a substitute. Put about one tablespoon of shampoo in the water and stir it around with your hand to mix well. Using a wig brush (not an ordinary hair brush) brush the wig gently. Now put the wig in the wash basin and pull it back and forth and around very gently. Continue this for a minute or two till the wig is well shampooed. Then hold the wig in a gentle flow of cold water from the tap till all the shampoo is washed out of it.

Now using a soft towel gently soak up all the water from the wig with a blotting action. Do this carefully and gently so as not to damage the wig. Never under any circumstances should you attempt to wring out the wig. At this point you can use a hair conditioner spray to help keep the wig soft and pliable.

The wig must now be dried by placing it over something which will hold it up. A styrofoam head which is smaller than the wig can be used. Do not stretch it over a larger head. Alternatively you can place it over something like a vase or bottle to dry. Do not put it out in the sun and do not brush the wig till it is completely dry.

If it is a human hair wig it is now ready to be styled with a blow dryer and curling tongs to whatever style you desire. If yours is a synthetic wig you must not use a blow dryer or any hot tools on it. To do so will ruin and melt the hair.Much of the process of shampooing,drying and styling your wig is just commonsense. Heed the wig makers instructions and work carefully to avoid any damage to your prized hairpiece.

Small Business Tips : How To Branding Your Business

noreply@blogger.com (AGNESSA STEVARA) — Mon, 09 Mar 2015 03:46:00 +0000

Ten years ago I left behind the corporate world and started my own business.

It was absolutely terrifying. What I wasn't expecting was to find out that a decade on, at times, it still is.

Every small business owner gets The Fear - it's part of the deal. It's hardly surprising when you think of the risks we take, the burdens we shoulder.

I left behind a good job, a great salary and all sorts of perks and benefits, not least the peace of mind that every month the bills would be paid. But job security wasn't enough to fulfil me.

I wanted more - I wanted to make a great living doing work I loved; work that meant something to me; work that did good in the world; work that was an expression of my authentic self. I love coaching and writing, and I love helping others make a great living doing work they love. That was, and remains, my purpose, my guiding light - what I think of as my North Star.

My North Star guides me whatever's going on. It's an unshakeable, immovable source of guidance, a trusted point from which I can always navigate, no matter what's going on. It is the thing that drives me, and my business and makes it all worthwhile. It gives me courage - something all small business owners need in spades.

My father - owner of his own business, as was his father before him - gave me the greatest advice on that day ten years ago when I started out. He said: "Once you've worked for yourself you'll never go back to having a job again. When it's going well, there's nothing better in the world. But let me warn you - you will be awake at 4am worrying about where the next client is coming from. And when it's bad, it's terrible, because no-one else can shoulder the burden for you, it's yours alone.
So be sure you know why you're doing it."

Boy was he right! When it's going well, when there are clients lined up and the words are flowing onto the page, it's wonderful. I feel privileged and honoured to do the work I do. It's hard work, but it's not as hard as dragging yourself into a job you hate every day.

When it's not going so well, running your own business is the loneliest job in the world. There's no-one to share it with, no-one else really understands, and even if they do, they can't really help you. They can pour you another drink and listen while you sob about how hard it all is, but the buck stops with you, and you know it. No-one can make it work but you, and that's why you get The Fear.

When The Fear strikes, you need passion and purpose

That's why it's SO important to know WHY you do what you do. When there's no work lined up and you have no idea what to do about it that's when you need your passion - the core of your brand - most.

The Fear whispers that it's all for nothing; that it's going to fail; that it's all hopeless. What's the point? you ask yourself. And that's the question at the core of your brand and at the bottom of it all - what IS the bloody point?

The Fear doesn't care about KPIs

I had The Fear last weekend: a full on case of the wobbles, the 'what the heck am I doing's. Self-doubt filled my mind at night and endless lists of all the things I need to do filled my days. I have a great business coach and all sorts of plans and strategies, but they're nothing in the face of The Fear. When it strikes there is no logic, no list, no KPI in the world that can pacify it. The only thing that can counteract fear is love - cheesy I know - and in this case it's your love for what you do that counts.

Your North Star is the reason why you do it.

That thing that you do - that you love, that makes your heart sing, that you do in a way that no-one else does it - whatever it may be - that's what makes it all worthwhile. That's your North Star.

Whether it's writing and coaching or cooking or gardening or consulting or fixing people's gadgets or teaching people how to use social media or baking artisan bread; it doesn't matter what it is, as long as it's meaningful and feels like you have a purpose in life. That's what gives you the sense of fulfilment no job ever could - because it comes from the heart. And that's why it must be at the heart of your brand. It's central, critical, literally vital to what you do.

What to do when The Fear strikes

When you get The Fear, there are two things you must do. The first is to be very, very kind and gentle with yourself; don't give yourself a hard time, that's counterproductive. Treat yourself as you would a terrified child learning to swim - reassuring them that everything's going to be all right and they can do it.

The second is to look to your North Star for direction - remember why you do what you do, your sense of purpose, of passion and mission in the world. Tune into that part of your soul that remembers why you took this hard, winding, uphill road towards success, and listen to it. Because when you go back to that unshakeable truth, that immovable point of guidance, suddenly you will know what to do. You might not know everything you need to do, but the next step will become clear, I promise.

Small steps in the right direction

Then, slowly, get up off the floor, take a deep breath, and get back to it. It doesn't matter what you do, just do something related to your North Star, something that's heading in the right direction. Slowly but surely (sometimes quickly and surprisingly) you'll get back in the flow and the right clients will be drawn to you.

You'll thrive again, and The Fear will be pacified, until the next time.

And next time it strikes, you'll know how to greet it, and it won't be quite so terrifying.

So here's the big question: Do you know what your North Star is?

Do you know exactly what it is that you're passionate about in your business, what it is that drives you, gives your work meaning, gives you that magical sense of fulfilment?

If you want a clear, shining North Star that provides your brand with an unshakable source of guidance, then coaching with the Authentic Branding Company will help.

Beauty of Matroyshka Dolls

noreply@blogger.com (AGNESSA STEVARA) — Fri, 16 Jan 2015 08:28:00 +0000

"Matroyshka" - the word may not be instantly recognisable but there can't be many people who aren't aware of Russia's most famous and endearing souvenir - better known as the exquisite nesting dolls. With a history spanning over a century, the Matroyshka has become a symbol of motherhood from the very heart of Russia.

The craftsman who created the very first Matroyshka dolls in the late 1890's was one Vasily Zviozdochkin, at the Children's Education Workshop in Sergiev Possad near Moscow. This Workshop brought together a handful of professional artists and skilled craftsmen who were devoted to preserving Russian peasant crafts. This doll was made in such an innovative way that it could be taken apart to reveal smaller dolls hidden away inside one another - the smallest figure representing the baby of the family!

Before the Russian Revolution, the name "Matroyshka" was a popular choice for girls, as it was derived from the Latin root "mater" meaning mother. The name was associated with the image of a healthy mother figure and subsequently the word became a natural choice when it came to naming the nesting dolls.

The first Matroshka doll was painted in watercolours by the artist Sergey Malutin and he painted a peasant family, the largest of which he dressed in colourful scarf, apron and sarafan, the traditional Russian costume of a Russian peasant mother. He also painted this figure cradling a black rooster in her arms. Poultry have always been treated as pets by Russian villagers, so this was a popular choice by Sergey! The faces painted on these early Matroyshka dolls were oval with quite large heads, making the face dominate the whole body and so the dolls appear quite primitive.

The remaining seven wooden pieces which nestled inside this larger figure represented other siblings, each painted carrying a different household item, such as a broom, a bowl of porridge, a sickle and a baby brother! This was the smallest piece, which couldn't be taken apart and was painted as a baby wrapped in a quilt to show the warm, nurturing facet of the dolls.

This set was known as the "Rooster Girl" and has been reproduced countless times since its first crafting. You can find the original in the Toy Museum at Sergiev Possad.

Besides these traditional designs such as these, the Matroyshka dolls were painted with scenes from Russian fairy tales and legends, Russian architecture, together with religious and historic scenes. Iconography is still popular with sets depicting Lenin, political figures and even celebrities! Each intricate design is unique in its own individual way and is a work of art to be admired and treasured.

So, how exactly are these beautifully crafted dolls made? Well, the basic techniques have remained unchanged over the years, as skilled artisans craft the dolls from aspen, birch or alder. The trees are left to season for two years in the air until they are judged ready for carving on turning lathes. No plans or precise measurements are used, as each doll created is born out of the craftsman's keen eye and skill with his tools.

Many different styles of Matroyshka are available, each different from the other. There are those from the region of Semionovo which are famous for containing many pieces, the largest to date consisting of seventy two dolls! This piece was made in 1970, stands three feet tall and is dedicated to Lenin's birthday.

Polkhovsky Maidan, which is situated to the south-west of Nizhny Novgorod, is home to another style of Matroyshka. The first doll was made here in the 1930's and today these dolls are still recognisable by their primitive peasant designs in bright greens, yellows, blues and crimsons. The flowering dog-rose was also considered a main element of the designs, as this flower was considered a symbol of femininity, love and motherhood.

There are many old sets still in existence in collections today and some of the most unusual depict the "boyars" or old Russian noblemen and these sets can fetch hefty sums of money when sold.

In old Russia, Matroyshkas were passed from one generation to another and today, they still remain an all-embracing symbol of Russian folk art. The dolls are still as popular today as they have ever been and are bought by tourists all over the world visiting Russia. Two Matroyshka were even created specially and taken into orbit on June 29th 1982 by Russian astronauts!

Today's economic climate has made it harder for Russian craftsmen to buy the raw materials needed to continue creating these dolls, although there are still three main centres of production in Russia today - Sergiev Possad, Semionovo and Gorodezt. Here, craftsmen and women still produce the beautiful hand-crafted Matroyshka which really are unique works of art, capturing the imagination of all who see them. No trip to Russia seems complete without bringing home a set of these instantly recognisable nesting dolls.

2015 Business Marketing Strategies

noreply@blogger.com (AGNESSA STEVARA) — Tue, 30 Dec 2014 07:07:00 +0000

For many small business managers, finding the time and commitment to develop business marketing strategies is difficult. There are so many other obligations vying for our attention it is tempting to push formal strategy development to the back burner. Giving into that temptation, however, means putting your business at a disadvantage. Marketing strategies help point you toward the best marketing programs for your business. Without strategies, you risk becoming unfocused in your marketing efforts, choosing programs that do not support general strategies.

To be most effective, your marketing strategies should be integrated into your marketing plan (which in turn should be part of the business plan). By integrating strategies into your overall company plans, you can better achieve business objectives. Additionally, over time this will result in more consistent decision-making throughout the organization.

Integrating Marketing Strategies into the Marketing Plan

A marketing plan is similar in structure to a business plan, but with a narrower focus. Marketing plans include overall objectives; marketing strategies; and marketing programs, each progressively narrower in scope.

-- The objective addresses the big picture and sets the tone for your strategies. In general terms, your marketing plan objective answers the question "How will I overcome my main marketing challenge(s)?" If your company is a new Web-based business, for example, a main challenge may be figuring out how to use your Web site to better build client business. An objective, therefore, may be "To enhance online client service as well as build site awareness and interest with clients."

-- Marketing strategies support your objective. The strategies define general approaches you will take to meet your objective. For example, marketing strategies to support the above objective could include 1) improving online communication, information, and education, 2) building awareness of and interest in your company on the Internet, and 3) communicating the Web site's existence and advantages to existing clients.

-- Programs are the things you will do to bring your marketing strategies to life. Programs for strategy 2 in the above example (improving online communication, information, and education) could include 1) sharing experience and observations in your industry through participation in discussion boards, 2) offering an email newsletter, and 3) listing/submitting your site to targeted search engines and directories.

By keeping your business marketing strategies in mind as you initially choose marketing programs, then making adjustments throughout the year based on those strategies, you build a better foundation from which your business can grow.

What is Cheap Car Insurance For Women

noreply@blogger.com (AGNESSA STEVARA) — Tue, 23 Sep 2014 06:10:00 +0000

Women are getting more independent in this modern era. They now have their own jobs and they are able to take care themselves without relying solely on men anymore. The same thing happens to driving as well. Women are now capable to drive themselves and they now own cars as well. Most of the countries are imposing law that all cars need to be insured with car insurance before they can be driven around on roads. Women are not exceptional in this matter. Therefore, we saw women are now busy searching for cheap car insurance for women.

Women are generally considered to be safer drivers compared to men drivers due to lower aggressiveness in driving. Thus, women will be offered with cheaper car insurance because of this reason. However, this offer might not be the cheapest offer yet, therefore, women can do more to get the lowest cost.

What a woman can do first is to shop around and compare rates between different insurance companies. She can always go to the companies herself to get the rates or take the easy way out by searching on the Internet. Some of them are offering cheaper policies for women. A woman can try to get more information from these companies as they might be giving out the best car policies that a woman need compared to others. Women who looking for cheap car insurance for women can also ask other women for their recommendations of women-friendly insurance companies.

Next, a woman can also try to take multiple policies with the same insurance company. A woman can try insuring her husband's car, her house and even her own medical coverage with the same company. As the respective company earns more profit from the woman as she takes up more than one policy, the woman will gain advantage to be able to negotiate for cheaper car insurance on the strength of having more than one policy with the same company. This will guarantee a better chance to get cheap car insurance for the woman.

Having a less attention-grabbing car will also help to get cheap car insurance for women. Attention-grabbing cars such as expensive sports cars mean that the car is more likely to attract thefts because of its high value in the market. The expensive cars also need higher costs to maintain and repair once they are worn out or damaged, not to mention having bad performance in terms of gas mileage. Getting a cheap and less flashy car will help women to save a lot in their insurance premiums.

Last but not least, women should also try their best to make their cars more protected. Even if they are driving less flashy cars, this does not guarantee that they will be free of theft and car damaging risks. Ensuring their cars to be in a safe state by fitting in security devices will help keep their cars more protected from any unlucky events. Insurance companies will consider giving these women cheaper car insurance plans if they have secured cars.

Guide for Car Insurance For Women

noreply@blogger.com (AGNESSA STEVARA) — Tue, 23 Sep 2014 06:08:00 +0000

There are many misconceptions when it comes to women drivers. Most men believe that women drivers are not at skilled at the art of driving. Let us look at the facts though. Compared to men, car insurance for women tends to be cheaper. In fact, it might be around 10 percent cheaper. This is a generalization and of course there will be some exceptions. Insurance companies have been in business for a long time. They have a huge amount of historical data that tells them about both men and women drivers. Let's examine some of their data.

Why Is Car Insurance For Women Cheaper?

Insurance companies establish premiums based on risk. Their data tells them that men have higher risk than women and therefore will have higher premiums to pay over the long run. Specifically, the data states the following:

On average, women get involved in fewer accidents than men.
The extent of the damage from such accidents is smaller as well.
Women typically commit fewer traffic violations than men.
Women buy fewer luxury vehicles and sports cars than men.
Women drivers are more likely to pass their driver licensing exams the first time.
All of these reasons are taken into consideration by insurance companies when establishing rates. They know what they are doing and analyze quite a bit of data to determine the premiums paid by their customers. Of course, previous driving record is always considered when calculating the rate.

Ways To Get Cheap Car Insurance For Women

If are looking for ways to decrease your car insurance premium, start by purchasing the right car. When I use the term "right car", I am referring to a vehicle that is inexpensive to insure. In general, the following cars are more expensive to insure:

Sports Cars and Luxury Vehicles
Big SUV's
Vehicles With High Repair Costs
Vehicles With A High Theft Record
New Cars With Advanced Technology Features
The best piece of advice is to get an auto insurance quote before purchasing a new or used car. Some people only consider the cost of the car and don't even think about the insurance rate until after the vehicle is purchased. This point might seem like common sense, but this is often overlooked. When speaking to an insurance agent, also be sure to inquire about auto insurance discounts, such as having a car alarm. Such discounts can greatly cut down on your insurance rate.

The Secrets of Fitness Programs

noreply@blogger.com (AGNESSA STEVARA) — Fri, 12 Sep 2014 13:09:00 +0000

Fitness is defined as a state of being healthy, which prepares the body for the physical necessities of daily life. To be more precise, fitness provides strength, flexibility and stamina for the proper functioning of the body. It is a total solution for a perfect, fine-tuned life. The five main components of fitness are aerobic endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, and flexibility and body composition. The right kind of physical and mental exercises and proper intake of nutritious food are the factors that contribute to fitness. A well-balanced diet not only makes one fit, but provides all necessary nutrients for the body. Mental fitness, essential for the psychological well-being of a person, is also a key factor in sustaining a healthy state.

Fitness lowers the risks of various health issues such as obesity, cardio-vascular problems, habitual inactivity and depression. It helps to prevent age-related problems. Moreover, fitness makes one feel relaxed and active throughout the day.

To stay physically fit doesn't entail spending hours in a gym or on costly fitness to develop muscle mass like body builders. All you need to do is improve power and endurance and get mobile. Nowadays, immobility has become part of a lifestyle, with people spending more time in front of the computer. So the need for exercise is a must.

A systematic workout of small exercises such as brisk walking, cycling, jogging and swimming can energize the body. An overdose of exercise might injure the body. So it is vital to find an enjoyable schedule of activity. The fitness methods adopted must be person-specific. It varies for men, women, children and the aged. Individuals have to choose exercises that are ideal for their body. Fitness methods include meditation, yoga sessions, aerobic classes and muscular fitness exercises.

Today, more and more people are struggling to keep their body and mind fit. This has resulted in the growth of a range of sophisticated multi-gyms, professional fitness institutions and clubs. Health and fitness magazines and publications are also available, and fitness tips and training programs are available via the Internet.

Secrets Tips for Wholesalers Succsess

noreply@blogger.com (AGNESSA STEVARA) — Fri, 12 Sep 2014 13:07:00 +0000

Like the legendary search for the Holy Grail, the cup that Jesus drank from at the Last Supper, the same "holy crusade" goes on today by veteran and newly anointed business owners for the perfect wholesale, surplus, and drop-shipping resource. They believe that divine intervention will lead them to suppliers that can defeat the economic laws of "supply and demand."

There are more than a few people who try to build an enterprise based on the weak premise that they will able to "score" in demand retail items for their new business, or auction, at either below wholesale prices, or "pennies on the wholesale dollar."

Trying to ride the wave of popular retail products brings out the greed monster in all of us. Pursuing the "deal of the century" has lead some aspiring business owners to risk their start-up capital on fraudulent deals and offers.

In this article I want to discuss three of the more sought after sources of product supply, and the "Pros & Cons" of each. I also want to shed a little light on some of the misconceptions people might have about buying "products for resale." The reality is that not every product will be available through wholesale, surplus, and drop-shipping venues.

Wholesalers: Typically, one of the better places to purchase products for your new found venture. Most true wholesalers will require that you have a "Certificate Of Resale" before you can purchase from them. A Certificate Of Resale, or "Tax & Use Certificate," is not hard to obtain, and costs anywhere from five to twenty dollars depending on the state you live in.

Some states do not require that you even have one. You can obtain the certificate from your State Department of Revenue. For more information about sales and use tax, the websites Salestaxinstitute.com and Businessnameusa.com can provide you with further information about resale certificates and business licenses.

Depending on your states procedure, once you fill out the paperwork you can get your "Certificate Of Resale" number the same day. You do not have to incorporate in order to obtain a certificate. You need to be a Sole Proprietor (at the very least) and have an address where you plan to conduct business. Once you have your number you will be able to open a business checking account at most local banks. Most do not require more than a few hundred dollars to get started. Wholesalers will require a minimum purchase price that can range anywhere from 100 to 1000 dollars.

A true wholesaler is usually one step away from the original source of the product. For instance, a manufacturer produces blue widgets and wants to get their product into the marketplace. They will then employ a sales representative to get the product into the market, or they will assign a wholesale distributor the exclusive rights to carry and sell their product line. Some companies are import wholesalers. While they do not necessarily manufacture a product, they will import products from manufacturers in the United States, and from countries like China. A great example of such an importer/wholesaler is the Bnfusa.com:

There are a few ways to find wholesale products. Just about every product that is in the distribution chain will usually have a dedicated trade association, organization, or trade publication attached to it. You can find such trade information with the help of the following directory information at The National Association Of Wholesale Distributors, NAW.org. Go to the "About NAW" section at the top of the website and then to the "Member Associations" section. There you will find wholesale associations members for just about every product that has a retail presence.

Property Investment Tips

noreply@blogger.com (AGNESSA STEVARA) — Tue, 09 Sep 2014 08:01:00 +0000

Property investment is an ideal option if a person wants to expand his/her financial assets. The owner has the prerogative of updating the property as per his own wishes whilst having the exclusive right to use it whenever he wants for his own benefit.

Properties are of various types like personal property, real property and intellectual property. All movable properties are classified as personal properties whereas all immovable properties are termed as real property or real estate. The unique difference between the two types is that movable properties can depreciate with time whereas immovable properties do not. Stocks, bonds and other financial products fall under the category of abstract property which also comes under personal property.

Trademarks, copyrights and patents come under intellectual property rights.

Investment Property Tips

noreply@blogger.com (AGNESSA STEVARA) — Tue, 09 Sep 2014 07:56:00 +0000

Building financial models is an art. The only way to improve your craft is to build a variety of financial models across a number of industries. Let's try a model for an investment that is not beyond the reach of most individuals - an investment property.

Before we jump into building a financial model, we should ask ourselves what drives the business that we are exploring. The answer will have significant implications for how we construct the model.

Who Will Use It?

Who will be using this model and what will they be using it for? A company may have a new product for which they need to calculate an optimal price. Or an investor may want to map out a project to see what kind of investment return he or she can expect.

Depending on these scenarios, the end result of what the model will calculate may be very different. Unless you know exactly what decision the user of your model needs to make, you may find yourself starting over several times until you find an approach that uses the right inputs to find the appropriate outputs.

On to Real Estate

In our scenario, we want to find out what kind of financial return we can expect from an investment property given certain information about the investment. This information would include variables such as the purchase price, rate of appreciation, the price at which we can rent it out, the financing terms available fore the property, etc.

Our return on this investment will be driven by two primary factors: our rental income and the appreciation of the property value. Therefore, we should begin by forecasting rental income and the appreciation of the property in consideration.

Once we have built out that portion of the model, we can use the information we have calculated to figure out how we will finance the purchase of the property and what financial expenses we can expect to incur as a result.

Next we tackle the property management expenses. We will need to use the property value that we forecasted in order to be able to calculate property taxes, so it is important that we build the model in a certain order.

With these projections in place, we can begin to piece together the income statement and the balance sheet. As we put these in place, we may spot items that we haven't yet calculated and we may have to go back and add them in the appropriate places.

Finally, we can use these financials to project the cash flow to the investor and calculate our return on investment.

Laying Out the Model

We should also think about how we want to lay it out so we keep our workspace clean. In Excel, one of the best ways to organize financial models is to separate certain sections of the model on different worksheets.

We can give each tab a name that describes the information contained in it. This way, other users of the model can better understand where data is calculated in the model and how it flows.

In our investment property model, let's use four tabs: property, financing, expenses and financials. Property, financing and expenses will be the tabs on which we input assumption and make projections for our model. The financials tab will be our results page where we will display the output of our model in a way that's easily understood.

Forecasting Revenues

Let's start with the property tab by renaming the tab "Property" and adding this title in cell A1 of the worksheet. By taking care of some of these formatting issuing on the front end, we'll have an easier time keeping the model clean.

Next, let's set up our assumptions box. A few rows below the title, type "Assumptions" and make a vertical list of the following inputs:

Purchase Price
Initial Monthly Rent
Occupancy Rate
Annual Appreciation
Annual Rent Increase
Broker Fee
Investment Period

In the cells to the right of each input label, we'll set up an input field by adding a realistic placeholder for each value. We will format each of these values to be blue in color. This is a common modeling convention to indicate that these are input values. This formatting will make it easier for us and others to understand how the model flows. Here are some corresponding values to start with:

$250,000.00
$1,550.00
95.00%
3.50%
1.00%
6.00%
4 years

The purchase price will be the price we expect to pay for a particular property. The initial monthly rent will be the price for which we expect to rent out the property. The occupancy rate will measure how well we keep the property rented out (95% occupancy will mean that there will only be about 18 days that the property will go un-rented between tenants each year).

Annual appreciation will determine the rate that the value of our property increases (or decreases) each year. Annual rent increase will determine how much we will increase the rent each year. The broker fee measures what percentage of the sale price of the property we will have to pay a broker when we sell the property.

The investment period is how long we will hold the property for before we sell it. Now that we have a good set of property assumptions down, we can begin to make calculations based on these assumptions.

A Note on Time Periods

There are many ways to begin forecasting out values across time. You could project financials monthly, quarterly, annually or some combination of the three. For most models, you should consider forecasting the financials monthly during the first couple years.

By doing so, you allow users of the model to see some of the cyclicality of the business (if there is any). It also allows you to spot certain problems with the business model that may not show up in annual projections (such as cash balance deficiencies). After the first couple of years, you can then forecast the financials on an annual basis.

For our purposes, annual projections will cut down on the complexity of the model. One side effect of this choice is that when we begin amortizing mortgages later, we will wind up incurring more interest expense than we would if we were making monthly principal payments (which is what happens in reality).

Another modeling choice you may want to consider is whether to use actual date headings for your projection columns (12/31/2013, 12/31/2014,...). Doing so can help with performing more complex function later, but again, for our purposes, we will simply use 1, 2, 3, etc. to measure out our years. In Excel, we can play with the formatting of these numbers a bit to read:

Real Estate Business Tips

noreply@blogger.com (AGNESSA STEVARA) — Sun, 07 Sep 2014 07:16:00 +0000

In fact, real estate investment completed after proper research into and evaluation of the property (to determine actual and future value), can lead to tremendous profit.
This is one reason many people choose real estate investment as their full time job.

Discussions about real estate tend to focus on residential real estate; commercial real estate, except to seasoned investors, typically seems to take a back seat.
However, commercial real estate is also a great option for investing in real estate.

Commercial real estate includes a large variety of property types.
To a majority of people, commercial real estate is only office complexes or factories or industrial units.
However, that is not all of commercial real estate. There is far more to commercial real estate.
Strip malls, health care centers, retail units and warehouse are all good examples of commercial real estate as is vacant land.
Even residential properties like apartments (or any property that consists of more than four residential units) are considered commercial real estate. In fact, such commercial real estate is very much in demand.

So, is commercial real estate really profitable?
Absolutely, in fact if it were not profitable I would not be writing about commercial real estate at all!!
However, with commercial real estate recognizing the opportunity is a bit more difficult when compared to residential real estate.
But commercial real estate profits can be huge (in fact, much bigger than you might realize from a residential real estate transaction of the same size).

There are many reasons to delve into commercial real estate investment.
For example you might purchase to resell after a certain appreciation level has occurred or to generate a substantial income by leasing the property out to retailers or other business types or both.

In fact, commercial real estate development is treated as a preliminary
indicator of the impending growth of the residential real estate market.
Therefore, once you recognize the probability of significant commercial growth within a region (whatever the reason i.e. municipal tax concessions), you should begin to evaluate the potential for appreciation in commercial real estate prices and implement your investment strategy quickly.

Regarding commercial real estate investment strategies it is important that you identify and set investment goals (i.e. immediate income through rental vs later investment income through resale) and that you know what you can afford and how you will effect the purchase.

It would be wise to determine your goals then meet with your banker (or financier(s)) prior to viewing and selecting your commercial real estate.

Also remain open minded and understand that should the right (perfect)
opportunity present itself, your investment strategy might need to be revisited and altered, sometimes considerably.
For example: If you find that commercial real estate, (i.e. land) is available in big chunks which are too expensive for you to buy alone but represents tremendous opportunity, you could look at forming a small investor group (i.e. with friends or family) and buy it together (then split the profits later).

Or in another case (i.e. when a retail boom is expected in a region), though your commercial real estate investment strategy was devised around purchasing vacant land, you might find it more profitable to buy a property such as a strip mall or small plaza that you can lease to retailers or a property that you can convert into a warehouse for the purpose of renting to small businesses.

Real Estate Agents Tips

noreply@blogger.com (AGNESSA STEVARA) — Sun, 07 Sep 2014 07:14:00 +0000

Real estate agents are professionals instrumental in connecting the buyer with the seller.
Additionally, many real estate agents manage rentals wherein they introduce tenants to landlords and oversee the maintenance of the property on behalf of the landlords.
In most areas real estate agents are required to be highly educated, licensed and are regulated by a governing body.
Some real estate agents are also Realtors.
To use the title Realtor, a real estate agent must be a member of the National Association of Realtors which in addition to a number of other requirements, requires Realtors to adhere to a strict code of ethics and offers Realtors additional educational and designation opportunities.
Though not required by rule or law, it might be a wise decision to seek the services of a Realtor.

What Do They Do....

Real estate agents bring together two or more interested parties, perform those steps necessary to successfully conclude a transaction and charge a commission for their services.
For sales transactions, they charge commission to the seller while for rentals, commission is typically charged the landlord.
Real estate agents generally calculate their fee as a percentage of the selling price (in the case of a sale) and as part of the rent for rental units.

How Do They Do It...

People who want to sell or rent their property leave details of their property with the real estate agent.
Along with all property details the real estate agent will typically have keys to the house to facilitate showings.
The other interested party (i.e. the buyer/tenant), gets access to this information and to the property by contacting the real estate agent.
That's how the real estate agent becomes a hub of information.
Contrary to some common misconceptions, real estate agents typically represent the seller or the buyer but rarely both.

Why Should I Use One...

First and foremost, to protect yourself. Real estate transactions are highly regulated, highly paper (document) intensive transactions.
The real estate agent possesses an in depth knowledge of the laws, rules, regulations, disclosures and documentation necessary to successfully complete the transaction to the satisfaction of the buyer, the seller and the law.

Because real estate agents are most familiar with local real estate market conditions, it is wise and makes sense to seek the advice of one to get an idea of the current trends and pricing for properties within that market.
A good real estate agent will know the prices (or price range) of various properties of different types and at various locations within the region.

Because of the real estate agent's knowledge and expertise, property sellers often get a few thousand dollars more for their property.

Many home seekers, including seasoned real estate investors use the services of real estate agents to locate the best real estate bargains in the easiest and quickest manner.

Furthermore, the best agents analyze the wants and needs of a home buyer/tenant and provide valuable input as to the kinds of properties available to them within their budget. Therefore, a good real estate agent will not just present a list of available properties to the buyer/tenant but will actually discuss their needs and make suggestions.

The good real estate agent, working in this manner benefits in at least two ways...
First and most obviously, when the real estate agent is able to successfully complete the transaction the commission is earned and the real estate agent is paid...
and secondly, if they make the customer/client happy they earn a good reputation and often receive referrals (hence more business).
