Calling it in

by

This is strange. In the past month I’ve actually been asked to do a few speaking engagements regarding my success with websites and blogging.

One business contact is holding a series of four seminars and they begin next week. The seminars are out of town so I can’t attend in person. He’d decided that perhaps he’d just do a phone interview with me and I suppose, hand out the interview to seminar attendees.

Now he’s changed his mind.

He wants to call me during the seminars and interview me via a conference call. He says the calls will only be 5 minutes. Somehow I doubt that … but $50 bucks for a short phone interview? I’m not sure yet. but I might do it.

No more business loans for me!

by

Have you ever applied for any kind of Loan? Unless you are still young and living at home with your parents you probably have faced the prospect of getting a loan of one type or another by now, haven’t you?

Lately we’ve been lucky, other than two Personal secured loans and a car loan we haven’t had to go through the process of applying for a loan for some time.

Can you believe that the very first loan that I ever applied for in my life was not a Personal Loan, but a business loan? Talk about nerve racking!

It’s one thing to come up with reasons why you need a personal loan – perhaps to pay off your tuition or to renovate your home, but coming up with a business plan to basically sell the idea of your business to a loan officer is a whole other prospect!

When I was just 20 years old, and already a jeweller working for a private company I decided to open up my own business. I had most of the skills and contacts that I needed to make my business a success and I was going to share office space with my soon to be former boss. All I needed was the funding to buy the very expensive machinery that I needed to get started! The most expensive piece of equiptment was a machine that would make most of my money, but it was also a machine that I had to teach myself how to use and maintain.

Before applying for my loan I was sure to find another trades person in the jewelery trade who could help teach me how to use the diamond cutting machine that I wanted to purchase. See, I thought of everything. I found someone to teach me how to use the machine and I knew how long it would take me to learn how to cut designs into jewelery when I went to the loan officer and applied for my loan.

I must have done a good job of selling myself as I did end up securing my loan. However, as a result of all that prep and the stress of starting my own business I don’t really care for the whole process of applying for loans. Securing a personal loan is much easier – I’ll stick to that type of loan if I ever need money again!

Do you have a harrowing loan story?

I’ve got a craving

by

Do you ever get a craving for a particular food that just won’t go away?

I started to get a craving for something really tasty on Friday. I didn’t really know what I was craving. I kept picturing tasty chicken and zesty salad ingredients, but I was thinking that I wanted it more in the form of a wrap.

I did end up getting one of the new wrap sandwiches from Kentucky Fried Chicken that night but quickly discovered that that wasn’t really what I’d been craving.

Now I’m starting to think that what I really want is a taco or a burito. Something juicy, zesty and filling. Of course I just saw a Taco Bell commercial so perhaps that’s why I think my several days long craving is really centered on taco’s now.

Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Perhaps some other food that I haven’t thought of yet that fits the bill?

If you are a parent or if you know a teen and they’ve started to display troubling behavior you might want to visit HelpforTroubledTeens.net.

I think most people realize that being a teen isn’t easy. We’ve all been there right? Teens go through a lot of changes. Teens have to deal with everything from changing schools as they go through the school system, making friends, peer pressure, body image, education and whatever might be happening with their home life.

It’s a hard time and some teens don’t deal with all these changes well, or they begin to experiment in dangerous ways.

Help for Troubled Teens was developed in order to provide information about topics that teens struggle with such as boarding schools, experimenting with drugs and the law and many other problems.

If you are a concerned parent you can visit the site to get more information. You can even call a toll free number to talk with a consultant who will listen to your concerns and offer suggestions that might help your troubled teen.

Visit the site for more information.
