Small Business Re-vamp

2012-04-02T13:46:00.001-07:00

The Author of this post is Darius Boone

There is nothing I love more in the world than to be well rested and sleep through the night. It has been some time since that has happened since my husband and I took over the family business. Within no time at all we went from excited to sleepless. Everything about running the company had to change. It was not clear the last time their system was updated and the messy bookkeeping over the years had not helped at all. During one of my restless nights, I discovered t1internet.com and thought this could be the start of the change we need to see. Bringing the company’s current IT system up to speed was priority number one. Without doing this, it would take me months to sort out all the vendors, accounts payable, accounts receivable and so on over three office branches. My husband spent his time evaluating our employees and pinpointing the strength and weaknesses of each of them and of course those that were simply dead weight had to go. Taking over a business is kind of like spring cleaning. You throw back the shades, let the light in and start in one area and work yourself silly.

Love my Job

2012-03-05T23:45:00.003-08:00

The Author of this post is Darius Boone

I love my job – how many people can say that? I love that there are so many people out there who do the same thing I do but they can’t find the joy in it…that’s right, I work for a hotel and I love every minute of it. I actually work in the event planning department so it’s a little different than working at the front desk but at the end of the day what I really love is working with people and getting a feel for the way things work around here. I use my clear wire las vegas when I’m not at home to check in with work, that’s how much I love it! I think there’s something to be said for getting up in the morning and being excited to go into the office and not a lot of my friends have that. They like their jobs okay but for me it’s a love thing – when I’m not here I’m thinking about it and my colleagues are my best friends!

Husband gets transferred

2012-02-03T02:07:00.000-08:00

Guest post from: Mohamed Simon

My husband was just transferred to Texas. I am so sick of getting transferred all the time. It seems like as soon as I get settled and start to make friends, we are packing and moving away. It is exhausting. This move was even harder. I have never lived in Texas, so I had to start from scratch. Thankfully, my husband’s company found us a place to live. That is my least favorite part because I get too attached. If I look at a lot of houses, then I really like a house only to move again. I would much rather the company takes care of that. Nonetheless, I still had to figure out all the minor stuff. I had to have the cable installed and ShopElectricityRatesTexas. All the small things add up quickly. Before you know it, your entire month is taken over by small things. What is even worse is that most of the time as soon as the small things are finished, we are moving again. I will just be glad when he retires. At least then we will be able to stay in one spot.

Check Your Credit Score

2012-01-26T01:26:00.001-08:00

For those who are looking for certain types of employment, you can expect your prospective employer to take a look at your credit report before hiring.

This is especially true for those who are interested in working in finance or credit positions; or sometimes when you are interested in going in to sales. Small business owners, home business workers, and others who are self-employed are usually not subject to credit reports by employers, but all the same everyone should be aware of what is on their credit report and take advantage of the fact that major credit reporting bureaus will offer a free credit score report.

Employers have to maintain a sense of financial credibility and keeping track of the credit scores of their prospective employees is the best way to determine how much care the employee will take with their financial business. It is also important for employers to check your credit report in case of instance of identity theft which is happening more and more. Employers have to stay on top of the personnel they hire in case of fraudulent behavior, financial mishaps, or petty theft.

Employers are responsible for their customers as well and can't subject their customers to financially irresponsible employees. If you are looking to go into a field of work that requires financial responsibility or the care of money in any way, then you can expect that your employer will want to run a credit report. Be prepared and if possible, I would suggest downloading a free copy of your credit report on your own before you apply for any job that will require a credit report so that you are prepared going into interview process.

Business Owner

2011-12-30T01:00:00.000-08:00

This guest post is by Jo Levy

Being a business owner is tough in this economy no matter what you’re selling but since I got into the custom jewelry business a few years back things have been really tough.

Everything’s so expensive and that’s just the way it is – it’s all custom – but it’s not like people have a ton of disposable income nowadays like they used to to spend on great jewelry. I’ve been working on the back end of the business when it’s been slow like getting my merchant services in order and really dealing with the logistics of paying the bills over the next year. One big sale could really turn my year around but right now I’m just hoping things pick up for the holiday shopping season, otherwise I’m not sure where I’ll be. It’s a tough market to be a small business owner, particularly when you own a totally non-essential small business but I’m going to do everything in my power to stick this thing out. I know I can make it through anything, even the recession!

Surveying Employees

2011-12-22T00:45:00.000-08:00

Business owners who want to improve their bottom line can look to employee surveys for answers to questions that might otherwise escape them.

There are many skills that employees have that employers remain unaware of which can be devastating to company growth and success. Untapped employee knowledge is often a key resource that is overlooked but now there are services that can help. Employee surveys provide business owners with insights that can save their bottom line for the long term.

One of the key ideas to a successful employee survey is to add an incentive to complete the survey so that you are getting participation from all of your employees and not just a motivated few. You should try to find an incentive that will motivate all of your employees to conduct your survey so that you can try to gather the total knowledge of all of the employees that you have. Be sure to make good on the prize that you offer and you will have a great survey program that you will benefit from.

Free Business Cards

2011-11-19T02:52:00.001-08:00

One of the top business cards companies online is Vista Print and they have been running a Free Business Card special for years now, and in the start they offered 100 free cards plus they would send cute little freebies with each order.

Now I noticed that they are giving away 250 free business cards on a regular basis and I like it! They are getting more and more people to try their services which is great because they have a really good thing going. You can get quality business cards from them for free, and get to sample their printing services before you make a commitment to a design or color you aren't sure about.

I also noticed that Vista Print offers a website designer as well, so you can get your own website to go with your business cards if you want. In the current economy it's not enough to have a college degree. You need a valid email address and your own business card, plus your own website too. Did you know that now you can get vanity name servers too??

You don't want to be a step behind, so be sure to head over to Vista Print and at least get your own business card for now...

Nurses and Their Scrubs

2011-11-03T10:00:00.000-07:00

This past Halloween my wife dressed up as a nurse and we had to buy medical scrubs.

When we went shopping for scrubs I was surprised with many of the prints I saw, and the variety of scrubs that there are out in the world... it made me want to be a real nurse just to wear the scrubs! This got me to thinking about nurses, doctors, surgeons, x-ray techs, lab assistants and medical interns who wear scrubs all the time as part of their job requirements. Buying scrubs, lab coats, stethoscopes and other medical uniform accessories is probably not a reason to begin a nursing career but if you are already in the field then buying scrubs can be a serious experience.

The color of your scrubs is important and the quality of material can vary, so finding the right scrubs for you may take some time. Most nurses that I know are loyal to one scrubs shop and buy holiday scrubs or other custom scrubs along with their basic colors. Choosing the right scrubs is the perfect way for nurses and other medical personnel to express their individual personalities, and is also a great way for lesbian nurses to show their rainbow pride.

There are a few different scrubs shops online such as Blue Sky Scrubs. You can find their deals on scrubs at http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/categories/Scrubs. Most scrubs shops also carry lab coats and medical uniform accessories, and other things that nurses need; but if you are looking for scrubs to show your pride, I suggest doing a Google search on the term "rainbow scrubs".

Looking for Work Online

2011-10-25T06:30:00.000-07:00

Looking for work online has been especially hard this year, and after the passing of Steve Jobs it's hard to predict what the future of the internet will look like.

Over the past few decades society has come to a point where we can look for work from our laptops and iPhones. The way we find work online in 2011 is to isolate key words and phrases used in the industry we'd like to work in and then Google them from wherever we happen to be at the moment. You may be in Canada, The UK, or Australia and the system for finding work online is going to be the same - go to Google and search for the words "jobs", "employment", "career" along with the key words you chose.

When you find a great employment website or a blog with a job posting you are interested in, following up would be the next logical step although there is something you need to take care of first. Be sure that your online profiles and any websites you appear on are appropriate to be viewed by potential employers before you submit any resumes. The way you can check is to go to Google and search for your name just like an employer would.

When you feel confident with your online identity and have a few options for employment in front of you, get on your laptop or other computer connection and send your resume out to all potential employers as soon as possible; and keep doing so on a consistent basis until you are hired.

Stay tuned for more job hunting tips, and good luck on your search for online employment!
