A Marketing Lesson From "The Godfather"

Maybe it was the commercials for the recent release of the video game based on the movie based on one of my all-time favorite novels that got me to thinking about how great marketers are just like Don Corleone, the infamous Godfather.

We all need to make em an offer they cant refuse.

Now, Im not suggesting that we all need to start sending dead fish wrapped in newspaper to anyone who doesnt buy from us, or start putting hits out on our competitors well leave those particular tactics to the Corleone family.

What I am suggesting is that, like Don Corleone, we tell our prospects all the reasons why it would be beneficial to them to do business with us. Highlight those benefits, and make it so obvious to them that they cant live (happily) without your product or service that they are dying to buy from you!

You see people dont really care about you or your company or even your product or service all that much. What they care about is how you and your product or service will benefit THEM. Youve heard of WYSIWYG (What You See is What You Get)? Well, heres a new one that your customer repeats every time he reads anyones marketing copy: WIIFM (Whats In It For Me)?

So you tell him! Dont talk about boring features (the drill is black and weighs 2 lbs. 3 oz.) tell him about the benefits your drill has to offer (our drill is so light weight, you wont feel like your arm is going to fall off even after 30 minutes of continuous use!)

Your customers dont want your drill they want the hole.

Show him how your drill will solve all of his problems, save him time, make his life easier, save him money and make him look like a virtual genius to his friends and family for having chosen such a perfect drill.

By highlighting the specific benefits of your product or service, you will appeal to your prospects on an emotional level and youll have made em an offer they cant refuse!

Youve Decided To Refinance, Now What?

Researching and knowing your options is the key to making a responsible decision when you decide to refinance your home. You may wonder how to take advantage of offers like no-cost refinancing, or what type of new mortgage is right for your unique situation. Having the right information and asking the right questions is the key to making a decision you will never come to regret.

First of all, when you refinance, you should keep your long-term financial goals in mind. Something that looks like a great deal in the short-term can actually end up costing you more than if you had never refinanced at all.

No-cost mortgages are one trap homeowners are prone to falling into when they refinance their home. Sometimes, no-cost mortgages are a great way to refinance and save a lot of money. But in some situations, no-cost mortgages can disadvantageous, and some no-cost mortgages are really not the deal they claim to be.

Some lenders say they offer no-cost refinancing when they are actually charging you fees and adding them to the total mortgage amount. Often, these fees stay hidden, and the consumer never knows that they are paying higher monthly payments thanks to a dishonest lender. True no-cost refinancing means that the lender pays all costs on your behalf, charges you no fees for service and DOES NOT increase the total loan amount.

If the interest rate on the no-cost loan is lower than the interest rate on your current mortgage, then you can save thousands by going with the no-cost loan. But be sure to read all contracts thoroughly, and make sure everything adds up. That way, you can avoid being charged any hidden fees that may increase your monthly payments.

Another important decision is whether you should refinance from an adjustable rate mortgage to a fixed rate mortgage. Some consumers see this as a no-brainer isnt it always advantageous to lock in an ARM to a lower FRM?

The answer is no, not always. If you do not think that you are going to remain in your home more than a few more years, then the cost of refinancing to an FRM may be more than the money you will save on the interest. Again, always keep long-term financial goals in mind.

When is it not a good decision to refinance? In order to benefit from refinancing your mortgage, you must remain in your home long enough to break even. This is called the break-even period, or the period of time it takes for the interest savings to cover the cost of refinancing. Often, lenders will figure your break-even period by simply dividing the cost of the new loan by the reduction in the monthly mortgage payments. This is NOT the correct way to determine the break-even period.

The problem with this equation is that it does not take into account the length of the new or old loan. Depending on whether you refinance for a 30 or 15 year mortgage, your break-even period could be much shorter or much longer than this simple equation might have you believe. Be sure to ask your lender if they took into account the length of the loan when calculating your break-even period.

The decision to refinance your home is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. Knowing what your long-term financial goals are and never losing sight of them can mean the difference between making a decision you regret, or walking away from the closing table a happier homeowner.

Simple Theory for Soccer Betting

Why is soccer betting popular?

If we were to compare other sports with soccer, soccer has the highest occurrences for weak team to beat a strong team down especially in English Premier League. Let's turn back the clock; can any of you recall the UEFA Championship final?? Clashed between Man.Utd and Bayern Munich in 1999 where Man.Utd successfully won Bayern Munich by 2 goals during 2 minutes injury time. For those who bet on Bayern Munich, how hard for punters to accept this, unfortunately this is the FACT. Well, as you can see, this is the most interesting part in soccer betting. There is a saying, a football is round, therefore it might have unpredictable ending.

What is the simple theory in betting world?

Everything in the world is sharing the same natural concept and also follows the same trend. There is no exception for soccer betting. The theory is simple. When a graph makes an incline, of course the line will keep climbing and stop at a stage. No matter how high it reaches or how low it drops, there is always a stop to it. I would confidently say that only in minor cases, the graph will move up and down continuously within a short period of time. As example, you could notice that most market share will always have gradual incline and then follow by long dropping line repeatedly. You could also notice that the rich gets richer and poor gets poorer. In sports betting, I believe some of you did experience before winning streaks which you kept winning non-stop even though you simply put your bet. In contrast when encounter down period, even if you work hard to make analysis or follow the bet of your lucky friends but finally lose too. Why? The only answer is natural concept and trend. We must agree and follow the trend.

How betting trend works in soccer betting?

The rule of thumb is do not be stubborn to confidently place bets on teams that continuously lost and have the thinking that they would make a come back. This is totally wrong. Maybe you will win at the end by follow this type of betting strategy but how much capital you need to have and how much you need to lose before you can win the bet. Based on the trend concept, if a team is keep losing, the graph for them is dropping, we should bet against them until the graph reach a pit stop. In contrast, if a team turnover from lose to win, we should start chase the team to win until stop stage. How simple is it? Win keeps winning and lose keeps losing.

Which team to bet from among of uncountable matches?

When using the trend concept in soccer betting, it is safer if we use it to bet on strong team and only focus on climbing graph. Meanwhile, we put our bet only on strong team when they are in win stage. The reason to choose strong team is they need points to secure their position at the top of the league table. In addition, strong team with higher strength could easily win if victory is a must.

The last but not the least, I am sure you will have doubts on my simple theory trend. I could tell you that my theory has been proven. I have been using the betting strategy for 2 consecutive years and it really works for me. From my bet statistics, it hits more than 75% accuracy.

NFL Playoffs: Chicago Bears Lost the Defensive Edge

Coming into the matchup between the Panthers and Bears, everybody spoke of the mighty Bears defense. They had an amazing run this season by allowing fewer than double digit points per game at home this season. With a week off and the media attention hyping them up, they lost their defensive edge.

The Bears were definitely rusty and unprepared in this game. They had a week off to heal their wounds and to review video tape but the week off also took away their sharpness on the field. They were so successful defensively because they would be able to swarm to the ball in record time. Yesterday as Smith was running all over them, their ability to swarm to the ball was questionable.

The Panthers also did a great job at picking apart the Bears defense early. The Steelers did much of the same against the Colts by getting to them early. The rustiness of the team off of a bye will not last forever so the Panthers knew to pass the ball early hitting big plays and getting the early touchdown.

The Bears offense looked great this game and for people to question their offense would be a mistake. It is also a mistake for people to blame their defense for this loss because without them, they would not have been in the playoffs.

If anything, blame should be placed on Lovie Smith for not preparing his team for the speed and intensity of a real game. He also made very little defensive adjustments at half time to give his team a chance to win. There was also a very poor game plan heading into the game to defend Steve Smith.

Birthday Video - Turn Your Child's Party Video Into A Fun Music Video

Kid Birthday Party - Birthday Video

Most people shoot some random video of their childs birthday party, then toss the video in a drawer and forget about it.

Hey, were talking about some precious video of an important event in your childs life. So if youre going to shoot some video of your childs birthday party, why not turn that footage it into a video everyone will want to see?

With just a little planning you can turn your childs birthday party video footage into a fun music video thats sure to become a treasured family keepsake and heirloom.

Choose A Favorite Song

Before you shoot your video, choose the song you want to use for your completed music video. It can be one of your childs favorites, or one that fits your party theme. Now you can shoot your video to go along with the music. Most songs are about 2 and a half minutes long which tells you how long your completed music video will be.

10 Things You Need To Shoot

Putting up the decorations

Party guests arriving

Activities and crafts

Party Games

Bringing out the birthday cake

Opening cards and gifts

Finished decorations and balloons

Parents, brothers, sisters, family members and pets

Staged shots of your birthday child and guests being silly

Guests saying good-by and leaving

The birthday childs parents collapsing on a chair after the party.

You may find other shots you want to include as well.

Fun Camera Angles

A series of short, fun shots will help make your music video more fun to watch. Try to make your shots at least 5 to 10 seconds in length, this will be very helpful when your footage is edited.

Stay away from using the zoom lens. Unless a zoom is done very well it tends to look amateurish.

Get lots of candid wide shots of your group.

Then move in and shoot medium shots with 2 or 3 people together.

Shoot close-ups of individual faces

Have fun by shooting some shots that are tilted to one side or stand on a chair and shoot down on the party. Put the camera on the floor and shoot up.

Editing Your Birthday Video - Music Video

If you have video editing software in your computer, you first need to digitize (transfer) the footage youve shot into the editing program. Then lay down your music track (the song youve selected).

Now start your music video with a simple but creative title like Marys 6th Birthday Party with a sub title related to your birthday theme like A Royal Celebration.

From the title you might want to use a fun wipe into your first shot. Try to keep your shots about 5 seconds long. That will keep the music video moving nicely without being too fast and visually annoying.

Also try to edit your footage together to tell the story of your party rather than just randomly mixing everything together.

Titles within your music video can also be fun. A title leading into some party game footage might read Extreame Musical Chairs or Time To Pop The Balloons.

As you edit your footage together, take a minute and preview the entire video from the beginning. This will help you to get a better feel for the overall pace. You might need to slow things down or speed then up. Check your video from the top when you have 30 seconds edited, 60 seconds edited and 90 seconds edited just to make sure the video is coming together the way you want it to.

Give yourself a little song time at the end to add your closing titles. Give yourself a screen credit, your party producer, and of course this video stars your birthday child.

At the very end of your credits you can have a little fun by cutting to one last silly shot.

If you dont have access to a video editor, take a quick look at

Fun-Kid-Birthday-Parties.com

Birthday Video - Music Video "World Premiere"

After you've edited your award winning music video together, it's time for your world premiere. Why not invite all your party guests and parents over for a private screening? Make some popcorn and have some fun.

Years From Now

Imagine years from now when you and your child sit down to watch this video together. You'll both be very happy you did something with all that precious video footage.

And as the years pass, your granchildren might just get to see your treasured keepsake DVD from so many years ago... I wonder if they'll still call them "music videos?"

New Business Loans UK enter business field through easy finance

Are you looking for financial assistance so that you can start a new business in the UK? You have this option for applying a new business loan that is especially designed keeping in view the requirements of a new business in the UK.

Depending on the amount you want to borrow and as per your personal circumstances, you can opt for secured or unsecured new business loans. In case of greater amount for starting a new business, secured new business loans should be opted for. You would be offering your home or any valued property to the lender as security. The lender will approve greater amount depending on value of home or any property. But the main advantage is that secured new business loans UK are approved at lower interest rate. Low rate makes the loan repaying fairly easier and it is not a burden on the loan. Another advantage is that secured new business loans can be paid back as per the business persons repaying capacity. You can repay the loan in larger duration also if you want to reduce monthly outgo for the loan installments.

Unsecured new business loans UK are given without demanding any security from the business person. Thus the loan is completely risk free for new business people. However for covering risks, lenders charge higher interest rate on unsecured new business loans. You would be approved smaller amount for shorter repaying duration.

And new business people should not worry about past bad credit history. Secured or unsecured new business loans in the UK are approved with ease for bad credit new business borrowers as well. The loan approval for such borrower will depend on prospects of the business and a convincing loan repaying plan in place.

Banks, financial companies and online lenders can be applied for in order to get new business loans in the UK. However compare lenders first and take rate quotes for a suitable deal. See if the lender provides loan for your type of business or not. And pay off the loan in time so that new loans can be easily taken at easier terms for the business.

Managing Your Phobias and Fears While In A Relationship

How can you manage your phobias and other related fears while being in a relationship? It can be tough to be in a relationship and have to deal with your fears and other phobias.

One of the ways to manage your particular phobia is to find out what exactly is your fear. If you have trouble finding out what that fear may be, then try to talk to a professional who can help you figure out what the fear may be. Once you know what the fear is, then the next step is to find the ways to deal with that fear.

For instance, one of the ways to manage your fear is to challenge your negative thinking with positive statements and realistic thinking. When encountering thoughts that make your fearful or anxious, challenge those thoughts by asking yourself questions that will maintain objectivity and common sense. For example, your afraid that if you do not get that job promotion then you will be stuck at your job forever. This depresses you, however your thinking in this situation is unrealistic. The fact of the matter is that there all are kinds of jobs available and just because you dont get this job promotion doesnt mean that you will never get one. In addition, people change jobs all the time, and you always have that option of going elsewhere if you are unhappy at your present location. Changing your thinking can help you manage your fears.

Sometimes, we may be nervous doing a certain task that may be scary. When this happens, visualize yourself doing the task in your mind. For instance, you and your team have to play in the championship hockey game in front of a large group of people in the next few days. Before the big day comes, imagine yourself playing the game in your mind. Imagine that your playing in front of a large audience. By playing the game in your mind, you will be better prepared to perform for real when the time comes. Self Visualization is a great way to reduce the fear and stress of a coming situation.

When facing a current or upcoming task that overwhelms you with a lot of anxiety, divide the task into a series of smaller steps and then complete each of the smaller tasks one at a time. Completing these smaller tasks will make the stress more manageable and increases your chances of success.

As a layman, I realize it is not easy to overcome our phobias. Remember that sometimes our worrying and fears can make the problem even worse. Take things in stride and try not focus too much on the problem. In time, you will find the ways to overcome your phobia. If you have trouble, talk to a professional who can give you additional insights on your situation.

Cash Loans Available For Lawsuits

In a world where legal action and lawsuits abound, there is cash relief for victims of car accidents, personal injury, workers compensation, etc. in the form of a cash loan against their pending lawsuit.

A cash loan offers plaintiffs a way to finance their day to day living expenses with cash they will eventually claim against the outcome of their settlement. Many times those injured in accidents are the sole breadwinners. When their health and mobility is compromised, theyre unable to pay their bills.

Their options are limited: they could borrow from the bank, but the bank expects a monthly payment on a cash loan; they could max our their credit cards, but still, a check needs to be sent every four weeks to cover the costs; they could get a cash loan from friends and family, but that has the capacity to strain long-formed relationships. When there is no money to make monthly payments, plaintiffs lapse into a crisis situation where a cash loan is essential!

When a cash loan is needed, help is available. By taking a cash loan against their pending lawsuit, plaintiffs can ease the strain of financial burden and not be out of pocket with money they dont yet have! Best of all, the cash loan is non-recourse. If the plaintiff doesnt win their lawsuit, they dont have to pay anything back.

For most plaintiffs, a cash loan has saved them from losing their homes, helped them pay their medical bills, and kept them out of bankruptcy. A cash loan against ones lawsuit is a little known service and plaintiffs need to understand that theres a place to turn in their time of need.

Network Marketing: Are you hunting or fishing?

Let's face it, Network Marketing deserves some of the bad rap it has. Every family has at least one pesky, used car salesman-like network marketer that pesters, bothers, annoys, whines, begs, and pushes their company and or products on their friends and family. They are like hunters, chasing down their prey. And when the prey says no and walks away, they move into stalking mode. They believe the old sales adage that it takes seven no's to get a yes, so they are now on the hunt, actively tracking down their prey. And the sad part is the prey they are hunting is probably the worst possible prospect. They aren't looking, they probably aren't ambitious, and most of the time they're not even interested. After a few months of chasing friends and family, the lonely hunter retires from the game, and often times ends up with a garage full product and an angry spouse.

This poor network marketer has gone out into the world, given the industry a bad name, and become an official member of the NFL, or "No Friends Left" club. And this is a common story in network marketing.

Unfortunately, this same person, given the right training and taught the right philosophies, could have just as easily had success. Often times they were just doing what their company told them to do, but here's a secret of the Network Marketing industry: what's taught on stage isn't what the big dogs actually do. And if you don't have access to the big dog, you don't get the secret sauce, the professional methods used to create six figure incomes.

The heavy hitters of Network Marketing aren't out on a Thursday night showing presentations to their family and friends. They don't need to pester their friends and family. They learned the magic secret of the industry, how to put the "Marketing" in Network Marketing.

Network Marketing is a business. It requires marketing. And the "average joe" that gets started in the industry usually quits in frustration before they ever come close to finding the hidden methods of marketing that rake in the big bucks.

So how do they do it? Well, the first thing that separates the heavy hitter from the bumbling amateur is their posture.

Rookies hunt. Heavy hitters fish.

There is a big difference between hunting and fishing. Hunters chase things. The things they chase run away. The chase continues until something is exhausted, dead, or both. Fishing is quite different. The fisherman sits on the shore in comfort and casts bait out into the water. The bait is enticing to the fish. The fish is attracted to the bait, and wants to take a bite. When the fish takes a bite, it's hooked. In other words, the prospect comes to the networker because the networker has something they want. And the bait is cast out in the lake among millions of fish, not into a bucket full of minnows.

Why don't network marketers fish instead of hunt? They don't know the rules of the game. And the internet has changed the rules. It is now possible, through the miracle of the internet and electronic media, to "cast out" your electronic bait, (your web-site or presentation), in front of millions of people, and wait for your bait to capture a prospect. A prospect is somebody that is actively looking for an opportunity. A prospect is ready and willing, they are just looking for the right company.

Network Marketing is a business of sorting and sifting, not hunting and tracking. And whoever sorts and sifts the fastest wins. As you read this, you are looking at a computer screen, and have an internet connection. That means you are connected to the entire world. You are within arms reach of over a billion prospects. You just need the right fishing gear.

The right gear for this new game of network marketing consists of:

==> A great company that you believe in.

==> Great products that you personally use and can endorse without hesitation.

==> A squeeze page or capture page

==> A compelling web-site

==> An autoresponder

Simple as it sounds, with these few components in place you can build a global network marketing empire.

So trade in your rifle for a fishing pole, stop chasing people, and commit to learn the new rules of network marketing, because not only do these new methods work, they are a lot more fun, and don't land you in the NFL club!

Do Away with Financial Emergencies- Avail Payday Advance Loan

Life is never smooth. You can face a financial emergency anytime anywhere. To cope up with these unexpected situations, you should have a solution beforehand. But if you do not have a solution just ask for payday advance loans which will provide you with quick and fast money to deal with urgent cash need.

Payday advance loans are basically short term loans which offer you loans to meet your unexpected financial emergency. With these loans you can easily pay unexpected medical bills, electricity bills, or any other expense for which you cannot wait.

Payday advance loans are called so because they are offered against a post dated check paid in advance to the lender. This check has the amount which you will be paying when the loan term ends. The check also serves as collateral against the loan amount. When the repayment date comes, the lender automatically gets the required amount by depositing this check in the bank.

With a payday advance loan you can get a loan amount ranging from 200-1,500. The repayment term is usually between 1 week and a month. Interest rates usually depend on the amount you take and on the repayment term.

A payday advance loan is offered mainly through online lending as such a speed cannot be offered by regular offline lenders. All you need to first of all select a suitable lender according to your requirements. Once you find the appropriate lender, the rest of the work becomes quite easy. The next step will be to fill an online application form which will require some details about your employment, income, identity, residential proof etc. After you submit the form, the loan will be quickly transferred into your bank account.

In order to get a payday advance loan, you need to fulfill certain conditions. They are:

-You should be a UK citizen with above 18 years of age.
-You should be a regular employee of a company
-Your minimum salary should be 1,000 per month.
-You should have a UK bank account

If you feel you fulfill all these conditions you can easily apply and avail payday advance loans.

You need not worry at all if you have a bad credit history. You can avail payday advance loans even if you have a credit record of arrears, defaults, bankruptcy, CCJ, late payments etc. Since these loans are made available in such a short time that there is no scope to run a credit check. Hence these loans are available to all types of credit holders.

So the next time to face an emergency, go straight to payday advance loan and get a quick and convenient solution.

Low Budget Affiliate Marketing

You want to start an online business, but don't have your own product to sell. But you do have the option of starting with affiliate marketing - selling other peoples' products for a commission. Affiliate marketing is a great way to make money. In just the last few years, affiliate marketing has become a very powerful force in ecommerce. Everyday, thousands, if not millions, of merchants rely on affiliate marketing to drive their businesses.

So, is online affiliate marketing right for you? Well, you will never know unless you take the necessary steps. If you don't try, then you cannot expect to succeed. Make today the day that you commit to changing the direction of your life. However, like any other business, whether it's online or off line, affiliate marketing cannot guarantee you success unless you work at it.

As with any business start up, and affiliate marketing is no excpetion, you will need to spend some money on the basics to get you started. However, through proper budgeting, your initial outlay can be reduced. So, you need to decide how much money you can afford to invest in your affiliate marketing business. There are some expenses that you will have if you want to be successful and there are others that you can put off until the time that you start earning income from your affiliate products. Some items that you will need to budget for are:

Domain Name. The domain name should relate to the subject and keep your domain name simple and easy to remember. There is quite a span between the low-cost and the high-end cost of domain names. If you shop around, you may even be able to find something less expensive. But make sure it's a well-established company! You don't want to lose your domain name once you have decided on it! You will likely get a better deal if you register your domain name for two or more years in advance. Namecheap.com and Godaddy.com are both excellent domain providers.

Website Hosting. Web hosting fees will vary dramatically between hosting providers. Set up a comparison chart and write down each company you are considering. Some companies offer rates as low as $2 a month, while others charge over $100. The highest rates don't always translate into the best service. Some of the lower-priced hosts offer a reliable, stable environment that allows your website to be accessed around the clock for years. Hostgator.com provide quality hosting at reasonable prices. Shop carefully and if possible avoid free hosting which can be unreliable.

Merchant Account. You dont have to invest thousands of dollars to open a merchant account. Find a merchant account vendor through a local financial institution, like a bank, and discuss the possibilities that will best suit your business and your customers. A merchant account will let you start accepting credit card payments for customer purchases, which will enhance the shopping experience for most customers and earn your company a progressive reputation. Never assume you will have extravagant monthly charges when you open a merchant account. Shop around, ask questions, and compare costs to get the best low cost merchant account available for your business. Your customers will thank you with repeat and additional business.

Software. You will need to track your expenses and income from your affiliate business and the simplist way is to use Miscrosoft Excel or similar program. Seeing your expenses for the whole year is a great way to keep them under control. What is the final total? Does that seem extreme? Remember, this is for an entire year. Keep it in perspective. If you intend to have a real business, you must treat it as a real business.

Advertising. The best marketing tip you will ever hear is to advertise your product or business. In today's market, anyone in business knows that advertising is the backbone to their success. Even with the greatest product on the planet, a product that you know everyone needs and wants, without advertising, it's just an idea going nowhere. Make sure you check out the best ways to advertise your business. It can be a fun, profitable, and easy experience with the right tools.

Education. Ongoing education is going to be extremely important to your affiliate marketing success. You will not have to purchase a lot of educational materials if you don't want to. There are many free resources, such as newsletters, that you can study. Sign up for a few newsletters and use the information to gain experience.

Affiliate marketing can be a a great way to create a business on the internet but you will need to learn and understand the basics before you set off on your online adventure. Choose your affiliate programs carefully and make sure that you get the support and backup from the affiliate program.

Would you rather hear what you need to learn from someone who is already an accomplished golfer? Would a few hours with Jack Nicholas REALLY help your game? "Just do what I do, it's easy!" Or would you rather learn from a beginner, who understands the struggles, the small improvements and remembers those early changes that lead to greater success?

It almost makes sense, doesn't it? The best coaches are often mediocre players, and the worst coaches were stars, who had everything come easy to them. Natural ability is hard to teach to others! As a beginning golfer, I have noticed some dramatic improvements, though, and wanted to pass them along to other beginning golfers.

First, the drive. To many of us starting out, it seems to be all-important. I have had instructors tell me that if you can hit the ball 150 yards, that you can work your way down any length of hole in about 3 shots, chip on and putt in, and play bogie golf without ever hitting a John Daly type 300 yard plus drive. As beginners, all we see is the big drives, the pressure, people watching us tee off, and understandably we want to be able to pound the ball!

What I've learned is that you can cut back on the swing to almost a half swing, hockey slapshot type thing, and increase the accuracy, with a small reduction in distance, until you are more comfortable with the swing. Also, a friend helped me with the description of coming "inside-out" with the swing. While that sounds complicated, imagine holding your back hand (I'm a left handed golfer) tight to your body and swinging through the ball and outwards after contact - straightened out my ball flight and increased distance.

Lessons seemed to boil down to getting into the same position, and swinging smoothly and evenly making sure the club is flat at contact - try swinging at the driving range - not to hammer the ball, but try swinging with virtually NO effort, then 20% 40% 60% etc. Get comfortable with a straight line of whatever distance, and KNOW how far each club will take you. If you need 100 yards, say, it doesn't matter if you get that with a pitching wedge or a 5-wood, as long as you can get it accurately there!

Pitching (from under 100 yards) and putting are the majority of the strokes, the easiest area to improve your game, and if you've ever played with a senior, they can be outdriven from the tee, but play so solidly from there onwards, with straight, accurate shots - you can't beat them!

Makes you rethink the wisdom of working on that booming drive, huh? The majority of time should be spent practicing the 100 yard and shorter shots - which inadvertently improves the overall stroke and technique, and makes the drives better over time!

Practice shooting 10, 20, 30 etc yards, and have the short chip down pat. Then work on putting - NOT trying to sink the putt, just to get the ball to within a club length of the hole - from ANYWHERE on the green. When you have mastered the ability to get the ball close like that, then work on the short 2 footers - almost from the start you'll find that you can get the majority in.

THAT's the secret - the drive doesn't matter, the next shot is OK, but the one that gets the ball TO the green is crucial! Then if you can putt to withing a very close area of the pin, and make THOSE easy putts - you're a bogie golfer - TA DAAA!

Wait, there's one more thing - the mental part of golf. If you have a certain ability, how come you see flashes fo greatness on some days, and flashes of needing to break your clubs on others? Same guy, same equipment, different results? THAT is the mental part of golf - and it becomes more and moe important as you master the basic strokes and techniques.

At the beginning stages of golf, you are thrown off by worrying about what others think - it feels like people are watching your drive, partners are evaluating your game, people are seeing if you can play golf well, etc. The answer to this is that everyone started off as a beginner, and VERY few people can play below 90s golf. Basically, we all suck! Take the pressure off of yourself for the first 20-50 games, and you will have the routine ingrained, the swing will be solid, all will work fairly well - under pressure or not.

Relaxation, and realizing that golf is a game against YOURSELF, are the keys. You can't play a real tournament against another golfer until you shoot in the 70s - so don't let that enter your head - try playing alone - you can - very early or very late - or with total strangers as a walk on.

Over time, you WILL get better - visibly, noticeably. Try playing a few days in a row, or a series of days either playing golf or practicing. Practice makes perfect - especially the short game that is ignored by the majority pounding shots into the darkness at driving ranges - work on the touch, the feel, the magic ability to get 25%, 50% or 75% shots, to control the distance.

Most of all, relax and enjoy the walk, the scenery, remember the things that went WELL - and move on from the ones that were duffed, hooked into the trees, or when you putted back and forth across the green like a madman - they all happen - to ALL of us - even Tiger Woods (every now and then). The trick is to concentrate on making the NEXT shot, the NEXT hole, the NEXT practice or game - be your very best. There's no going back and reshooting that shot that went into the water! Forget about it and calmly, confidently move on.

Your best games, your best shots will occur when you have a calm, confident feeling, feeling that you are just repeating what you've practiced, and easily accomplished in the past. Look at the grin on Tiger's face as he sinks a putt and pumps his fist - this game can be FUN!!

How To Become A Network Marketing Business Megastar

We know that 5% of network marketing businesses succeed and in time people can make so much money that they qualify for being listed within the top one-tenth of one percent of all the earners in the world. So it is natural to assume that to grow your network marketing business to equal a global conglomerate, you have to be or become some super human-being. In most other occupations this is true. For example, take a look at the super stardom and super wealth of top athletics.

In athletics, various factors play a significant role in success. Success at the very elevated levels leads to mega-wealth. The athlete needs the basic physical body as the foundation to build on which is developed by training over many years, gradually conditioning everything, including the mental processes, to operate competitively.

A team of trainers, coaches and medical experts assist in the preparation. If the athlete and the support team do their jobs correctly, the result is success. Sponsorship and promotion offers flood in and the athlete can enjoy the trappings of mega-wealth.

But what happens if you fail to reach mega-stardom. Records of the mediocre athletes show lives beset by lack of money and support and a dreams that endure a few short years instead of decades or more. This pattern although transparent in sport, athletics, entertainment and others, is common to most walks of life. In network marketing the situation of being barred from super-stardom and mega-wealth, just because you are "average" is simple to overcome.

Every day of every year, a network marketing superstar rises to prominence. Their super-stardom is not because of the opportunity they have joined, their sponsor, their training, company or luck. It is because of themselves. That superstar was waiting to be found. That superstar wanted to be a superstar who had the drive, the natural skills, or the desire to acquire any skills needed. Somebody just happened to offer them the vehicle they needed. Somebody had to sponsor them. It could have been you.

All you have to do is to sponsor a few into your team. To sponsor a super-star or five! keep sponsoring and the law of averages will work in your favour and eventually deliver, meaning you will sponsor a superstar. Keep sponsoring after that and you will eventually sponsor more superstars.

At a very large rally an elderly lady was recognised for being a superstar. There was nothing outstanding about her. She wasn't charismatic, stunningly good looking, a captivating speaker, or a leader. She was average - she knew it, and she admitted it. Her success was down to sponsoring enough people into her team to have sponsored five members who were outstanding, charismatic, good looking, captivating speakers, leaders and superstars. That's what will give you, Mr. and Mrs. Average, a successful superstar lifestyle with your network marketing business?

Huge Dorado Off Mag Bay!

We were on a sixty four foot viking enclosed bridge sport fish. I mean top of the line, brand new with everything you could need to make your trip perfect. Anyways we got all our gear ready hear in san diego, got down to the boat about two in the morning to start her up and get ready to rock. Of course we spent the couple days before this preparing the boat with food and all our fishing gear we needed for this trip. Anyways we set off about three am after everyone getting down there from sleeping in to late of course.

Whell we untied the lines and set off for our three day trip to the magic magdalena bay aka ultimate fishing. As the trip was going on we were fishing a little on the way down but not to much, we knew that the real fish stocks were hanging out in mag bay so why waste time. The only time we would fish on the way down was if we saw something. After three wonderful days on the water we reached our destination, Mag Bay.

Since its a prety good run and we havnt had a good meal for about seventy two hours or so, I decided to pull into the bay and cook up a huge meal that would put us all to sleep. After we all woke up from the great BBQ I made everyone was ready to get fishing. Our goal was to tag and release as many marlin and dorado as possible, witch wasnt a problem at all. That night we pulled in and made dinner I stayed up a bit later than the others to make bait. Witch of course was the best thing we ever did once we started fishing the next morning.

Started up the mains and headed out to fish the magadalena bay area. Perfect day on the water with alot of birds showing us exactly where to go. Once we go all the gear ready to go with live bait hooks I told the boys to bait up and lets get it cracking. As they got there lines in the water I decided to stir up the water with some extra baits, witch in turn brought up the biggest school of dorado I have seen in years. Once they came to the top of the water you couldnt even get your bait to hit the water before they ate it. This was the most amazing dorado feeding I have ever seen, and it didnt stop there.

After running out of dorado tags we decided to move outside a bit and hit up the stripped marlin for tagging. I dont know what was going on this year but it was just amazing, a out right feeding frenzy. So after tagging fourteen marlin and countless dorado the crew was just spent, so I took us back to the bay for the night. We cooked up some fish and passed out about five minutes after eating.

Anyways if you ever get a chance to go fish magdalena Bay dont pass if up, you will regret it. We do alot of these trips each year for tagging and releasing so check out the site and see when we will be there, you could win a chance to come along with Save The Pacific Foundation.

Thanks for listening,

How To Write a Resignation Letter

It is resignation time. The time has come to move on from the present job. The time to reach out for a writing pad and draft out the resignation letter. So what do you do? Should you give a list of reasons why you are leaving? Should you feel guilty about leaving your team and the organization in a lurch? Should you give a list of reasons about how badly you were treated? Should you get sentimental and list out all that you gained and how wonderful it was?

The ideal resignation letter is the one that is the shortest, to the point. Give the date of resignation and enquire when the organization could let you go. The more detail you go into the more explanations follow. Giving reasons for leaving could be open to all kinds of misinterpretations, so a simple I would like to resign from the post of xx as on this date would do. There is no need to feel guilty about leaving the organization in a lurch because it is a professional relationship and just as you have a right to your career opportunities, the organization also has a right to throw you out when it does not need you. So there is really no need to feel guilt. But yes, if the job requires that you train someone else or to finish something that you have begun, it is only fair that you complete that part. If you are quitting due to some bad experiences, it is not a great idea to put that on paper because then the organization might get wary about your motives and stall the process. Just as well there is no need to get all sentimental about the organization because if for some reason you have to sue the employer, your letter will make it rather difficult to prove that you had a difficult time in the organization.

All these issues point out in one direction. When it comes to the resignation letter, keep it simple and straight, courteous and formal. Add a touch of gratitude because it always pays to be grateful. And most importantly keep it in mind that you may have to seek a reference from your ex-employers at some point of time in the future.

A sample resignation letter would look something like this.

Name
Address
Phone Number
E-mail

Date

Recipient's name
Company name
Address

Dear Ms/Mr. X:

Please treat this letter as my formal notice of resignation from Y. I would like to be relieved from my duties as Z in a weeks time. I hope that the notice period is sufficient and I would like to know whether I would be required to complete any particular jobs within this period.

I would also like to thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to work here.

Sincerely,

Signature

Tax Credits for Energy Efficient Air Conditioning In Your Home

The government often tries to influence our behavior through taxes. The tax credit for new energy efficient cooling systems in our homes is one example.

Tax Credits for Energy Efficient Air Conditioning In Your Home

As part of the provisions in the Energy Policy Act 2005, homeowners are entitled to claim tax credits on use of a few energy saving items. They include the use of energy saving windows, doors, roofing, furnace and boiler, water heater and air conditioner. As energy becomes scarcer by the day, it is essential to conserve as much energy as possible. The government, by way of giving tax credits, also encourages using alternate sources of energy.

Using energy efficient air conditioning systems is one of the items that qualify for tax credit. Individuals who install this type of air conditioner are eligible for a tax credit of up to $300. The models that qualify are obviously costlier than the ordinary ones. However, this calculation would show that it is advisable to install a new energy saving air conditioner. Even if you save just $10 a month on average by way of electricity bills it comes to $120 for a year. Add to that the tax credit of $300, your net saving is $420. This amount should be good enough to prod a homeowner into buying an energy efficient air-conditioner.

Of course, not all air conditioners are eligible for a tax credit. Even, not all Energy Star air conditioners qualify, only some do. Very efficient central air conditioners qualify for the tax credit if they meet the following criteria:

1. The Energy Efficiency Ratio has to be 13.0 or higher (in some states its 12.5).

2. Certified technician needs to install the equipment.

3. The Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) has to be 15.

SEER measures performance throughout the season and EER measures performance on a very hot day. Central Air conditioning systems must meet the standards set by the Consortium of Energy Efficiency (CEE). The specifications for each state vary slightly.

The tax credit for energy efficient cooling systems in our home is just another step in saving money on both your energy bill and taxes. Since tax credits are reduced from the actual amount of tax you owe, not your gross income, you should strongly consider taking advantage of this one.

Turning A Dream Into A Nightmare

To make money takes money, right? Or so many of us have heard and believed for years. Thus, when an individual seeks to open his own home business, he first seeks a way to obtain that money that he needs to make the money that he wants. The majority of those in this very situation will take the quickest route possible: straight to the bank. They will borrow the money they need and in the process risk items paramount to their ability to live, namely, their homes. Across the country individuals risk those things that they need the most, namely their homes, in the name of establishing a home business. However, the successful home business owner, the ones that end in the black every time, shun the idea of borrowing money. Instead of drinking the kool-aid of debt, they have discovered a way to pay their way to success.

First and foremost, these individuals do not, under any circumstance, borrow money. They understand that the borrower is slave to the lender, and thus in order to stay free, they run far away from the shackles that bind so many of their contemporaries. How do they do this? They have a vivid imagination. They imagine the foreclosure notice coming to their door via the postman, and they imagine their family selling nearly everything they have to keep the home they live in simply because they put their home up as collateral against a loan so they could open their own business. This image alone motivates them not to borrow against their home or anything else important to them.

Instead of borrowing, these successful home business owners establish their business slowly by growing only as far as they can afford it. They pay for their business items with cash, including inventory and supplies. When they pay in cash, they purchase inventory and supplies much more carefully, because they are using money that they have already worked hard for. Thus they select their investments wisely. They also understand that when they grow a business slowly, the business has time to establish roots and thus longevity. They have the time to manage it because it does not grow out of control.

Finally, if the dreaming-of-a-home-business individual cannot afford to open his own home business with the cash he has on hand, he keeps his dream but does not sacrifice his home to get it. Instead, he transforms that dream into a goal, and he works all that much harder at his present job to make the dream a reality. Once he has saved enough money, then he begins investing in the dream, the home business. At that point, the home business no longer is a dream that may turn into a nightmare, but it's the beginning of an end, with the end being the goal and the beginning being the dream. The home business owner then has a reason to celebrate: he has just opened his own business without any debt.

Home business owners across the country are sadly declaring bankruptcy and moving their families to smaller homes or apartments because of foreclosures. The home business does not have to be that same nightmare for every home business owner. Let your home business turn into a dream by paying off your debt and then paying for what you need with cash only. Doing so will lead you to a much more successful and peaceful end.

What You Must Account For When Writing Emotional B2B Sales Copy

Emotions. We all have them. And as marketers were all taught that you have to appeal to your prospects emotions in order to get your most-wanted response. When youre selling B2C products like health supplements and consumer newsletters, this is absolutely the true. But in the B2B world, its not quite so simple. Heres why

B2B Buyers Have Conflicting Emotions

True, the B2B buyer has emotions just like the average consumer. Only when you get her over the edge from I need it to I want it will she make a buying decision.

However, she is sitll an employee of her company. She must take into account her companys needs when making a decision to purchase your B2B product or service. And her companys needs dont always jibe with her own. Heres an example of what Im talking about.

Lets say Sarah is a software development manager with a medium-sized consulting firm. The programmers that report to Sarah make changes to the underlying software architecture without informing their supervisors. This causes broken builds and missed deadlines. Sarahs boss has told her she needs to buy a change management system for her company.

Sarah knows she these probelms have to stop and a change management system will help. She has investigated her options and is leaning toward the market leader in the change management space. Its got all the features her company needs and long track record of past success stories.

Theres just one problem

You Cannot Neglect a Business Buyers Personal Needs

While this solution is very feature-rich, it requires about 3-4 hours a day for maintenance and administration. Sarah knows her company cannot afford to hire a full time change management person, so the administrative burden will undoubtedly fall on her.

Sarah just had a baby earlier this year and already doesnt get to see much of her family. Her job is too demanding and overtime-intensive. This causes her to seek other options that might not require such an extra duty, but she just doesnt see any other products that meet her companys change management needs.

Are you beginning to see why the B2B sale becomes so complex?

Selling to a prospects emotions is very important. But B2B sales prospects have two sets of buying needs that dont always dovetail with one another. You must address both if you are to maximize your chances to sell big-ticket B2B products and services.

Thats why its important that you hire a B2B copywriter to understand this dichotomy and can address both sets of needs. Business, as well as personal. Very few copywriters can do both in the same promotion with an equal degree of skill. So when you find one who can, hang on to him: hes worth his weight in gold.

Well talk more about meeting the B2B buyers business needs while addressing his personal concerns and emotions in a future post, so keep your feedreader pointed right here at ericlynchcopywriter.com.

Eric Lynch is makes it easy to generate leads for your company's products and services. As a talented http://ericlynchcopywriter.com B2B copywriter - as well as an engineer - he writes effective marcom and sales copy that comples prospects to give you your most-wanted response.Mortgage Lead Programs

How To Finance A New Acura Dealer Purchase

Once you have decided on getting a new Acura, visit the manufacturers website for details on what is available and how to locate the dealers closest to your location. With this information you are ready to start getting quotes so that you can begin the process of financing your car.

There are a wide range of payment options that you can explore to find the one that best suits your circumstances. The main ones are:

Pay cash

This is a quick alternative, but not many persons are able to come up with the full payment price for a new car. If you pay for your car up-front, you may be able to get an even better deal. Also, ensure that your dealer gives you a good warranty.

Leasing

This option allows the consumer to lease the car they want through a leasing company. Most choose a set period for the lease. This period is normally the length of the cars warranty. With is arrangement, the leasing company will buy the car and you pay an agreed upon monthly payment. Generally this monthly payment is less than if you take out a personal loan. Once the lease period is up, the consumer can either opt to purchase the car for themselves or go into another lease arrangement normally for a newer model vehicle. As an added bonus, some leasing arrangements take the hassle out of car maintenance as the leasing company is responsible for this.

A loan

Another popular financing option is taking out a personal loan from a bank, credit union or other financing agency. The consumer will need to make an agreed on monthly payment to the lending agency for the life of the loan. Once the loan is paid off, the car is yours.

Trade-in of your old car

Trading in a used car can also help with financing a new car as the funds obtained can be used to make the down payment. Some of these options are easier than others based on your credit rating.

A Guide to Buying a Property in Estonia

Overview

On first blush, many investors who are interested in putting money in foreign real estate might flip past Estonia without giving it any thought. Indeed, historically Estonia has not been a country in which foreign nationals have been active in the real estate market. In point of fact, for a significant portion of the history of Estonia, foreign ownership of real estate was prohibited for tightly and highly regulated.

Of course, one of the primary reasons that foreign investors have not been active in the Estonian real estate market historically is the fact that through much of its history, Estonia has been occupied or controlled by other nations.

Over the course of the past decade, as Estonia has gained its independence, the government has worked to liberalize the laws governing the ownership and sales of real estate in that country. This has included opening the door wider to more foreign investment in real estate in Estonia.

While there has not been a rush of foreign nationals buying real estate in Estonia as of this point in time, there is a steady stream of these people buying real estate in different locations in Estonia. Industry analysts believe that the number of people who will invest in Estonian real estate should continue to increase at a steady, but not flooding, pace.

Investment Real Estate

As referenced previously, historically Estonia has not been a country that attracted a great deal of foreign investment in real estate. This is starting to change at this point in time. Thanks to a relaxation of the laws governing foreign investment in real estate, some foreign nationals are taking another look at investing in real estate in Estonia.

In this regard, people who have taken the step of investing in real estate in Estonia are doing so on the gambit that property values in that country will increase as the country becomes more active on the world economic stage. Most analysts believe that this is, in fact, a safe bet.

Primarily, foreign nationals are investing in commercial and residential properties at about an even pace. In many instances, foreign nationals are buying real estate in Estonia and then working to develop it for either commercial or residential purposes. In some areas in the country, foreign nationals have been leading the way in real estate related development projects, particular citizens of European nations.

At the present time, there are no significant restrictions regarding foreign investment in real estate. Again, the government of Estonia has been dedicated to streamlining and liberalizing the real estate sales process -- including for foreign nationals.

Residential Real Estate - Single Family Dwellings

The state of the single family, residential real estate market in Estonia varies significantly depending on what part of the country is being considered. For example, in the larger cities in the country, a more concerted effort is being made to develop new residential properties in single family style. In addition, a more concerted effort is being made to rehab and renovate older single family residential properties in Estonia to bring these properties into the 21st century.

In some instances, older residences that were once designed for single families are now being retrofitted to be used as multiple apartment units. Indeed, many of the newly available apartment units in many of the major urban centers in Estonia are in fact rehabilitated residences that once upon a time housed single families.

In the Estonian countryside, there are some stunning and elegant villas and estates that can be purchased for a moderate price. More often than not, these properties do require some renovation work to bring them into livable condition. Some foreign nationals are becoming involved in rehabbing these properties for resale to others.

Residential Real Estate - Apartments

Apartments have attracted the most significant number of foreign nationals to the real estate market at this point in time. Foreign nationals seem to buying apartments in Estonia for two primary reasons.

First, there is a growing number of foreign nationals who are coming to Estonia to take part in the economic development that is beginning to occur in that country. Consequently, these foreign nationals need and require affordable housing while they are in country. By and large, these foreign nationals have found purchasing an apartment for their time in Estonia to be a solid course to take,

Second, some foreign nationals have taken to purchasing apartments for leasing to other individuals, including other foreign nationals. This includes newly developed apartments as well as older buildings and structures that foreign nationals are purchasing and remodeling for usage as updated apartments. These foreign nationals appear to be turning a decent profit by purchasing and investing in these types of apartments. In addition, more foreign nationals are becoming involved in this types of investment as we move further into the 21st century.

Vacation Real Estate

The vacation real estate market in Estonia is only now on the verge of moving forward. Presently, the tourist trade into Estonia is not one of the most significant industries in that country. However, the government as well as certain elements of the private sector are working to attract more visitors and tourists to Estonia each year.

Some foreign nationals have begun to make modest investments in the vacation real estate market. Some foreign nationals have come together with Estonian nationals to develop apartment complexes and some stand alone residences to be utilized by people traveling to Estonia for holiday purposes.

While most real estate analysts do not anticipate an explosion in the vacation real estate market in the immediate future, these analysts do believe that there will be steady growth in this area which will continue to involve foreign nationals. Indeed, there are some attractive resorts that are now in development in Estonia that should be completed within the coming five years.

Successfully Purchasing Real Estate in Estonia:

Specific Steps to Buying Real Property in Estonia

The process of buying real estate in the Republic of Estonia can seem a bit complicated on the surface. With that said, the government of the Republic of Estonia has worked rather diligently to liberalize and modernize the laws governing the buying and selling of real estate in that country. In this regard, a good deal of effort has been expended making it a bit easier for foreign nationals to buy real estate in Estonia.

There are two primary contracts involved in the sale of real estate in Estonia. Both documents are prepared by a notary. Indeed, in Estonia it is mandatory that a notary be involved in the real estate sales process, that a notary prepare these primary documents. (As an aside, in some instances the notary does not need to prepare these documents his or her self. But, if someone else drafts these documents, the notary is legally required to review them in detail to make sure that they meet the requirements of Estonian law and reflect exactly the agreement that has been made between the parties.)

The initial agreement in the Estonian real estate sales process is the sales-purchase agreement. This agreement is prepared by the notary and is executed by the buyer and the seller once the seller makes an offer on the property that is for sale. Generally speaking, once the oral offer is made by the buyer to the seller, the sales-purchase agreement can be prepared and executed with a period of ten to thirty days (depending on what needs to be included in the agreement itself).

During the period of time between the execution of the sales-purchase agreement and the final agreement in the sales process, the buyer obtains financing and the seller makes certain that the property physically and legally is in a position to be conveyed and transferred to the buyer. In addition, during this interim period, the buyer must pay to the government what is known as a state fee -- which is in the amount of 0.4% of the value of the real estate being sold and purchased.

The final agreement in the real estate sales process in Estonia is entitled the transfer of ownership in real estate agreement or document. When this document is duly executed by the parties, an application is made to the Land Register Office to transfer the ownership of the real estate from the seller to the buyer. In addition, following the filing of this application, a public notice of the change in ownership of the real estate is published in the Official State Gazette, the official publication in Estonia that publishes legal notices of this nature.

In summary, the process of buying real estate in Estonia does include a number of hurdles that seem confusing and complicated on the surface. But, as has been noted, the laws have been modernized and liberalized in recent years. Chances are quite good that the government of Estonia will continue to work to make the real estate laws in that country a bit more user friendly and less cumbersome in the future.
