You are getting a good deal when you accept the fact that the right PR really CAN alter individual perception and lead to the changed behaviors you need. Especially when you recognize that people really DO act upon their perceptions of the facts they hear about your operations, and about you as a manager. Meaning you have little choice but to deal promptly and effectively with those perceptions by reaching and moving those key external audiences...more
There is an old statement that holds true when trying to restore your credit rating, and the statement is "knowing is half the battle." This statement exemplifies what consumers who have had past credit problems should do, and that is to learn everything they can about credit repair. Repairing or rebuilding your credit is not a simple task, and knowing what laws protects the consumer and how to use them is the first step in this process. The...more
Setting financial goals is the single most important thing you can do to take control of your finances. Your life can't go according to plan if you don't have a plan. You will continue to spend every penny you earn if you don't plan for where you want that money to go.Now more than ever we have to plan for our own futures. Approximately 70 million baby boomers will reach retirement age within the next 10 years. That is going to put an enormous strain on the already strained social security system. Alan Greenspan, Chairman of the Federal Reserve, has stated that in order to keep this strained system going, the retirement age will have to be raised or the benefits will have to be cut back. The ever ballooning Federal Deficit is the main cause.It would be my guess that both of those things will happen and more. If social security is even around in another ten to twenty years, I'll be surprised. The government's plans for it are kind of up in the air right now. The President would like to have us invest our own contributions. I would imagine that a program like that will take quite a bit of time and money to set up.If you are looking at those social security statements you get every...more

With New Year's Day being less than a week away, this is the time of year where many of us reflect on the past year, re-examine our dreams, desires and goals and make resolutions for the upcoming...more
If someone offered to give you a loan for $2100 at interest rates of up to 222 percent you'd probably laugh at them and walk away; but, this spring, 1 in 10 Americans will do just that: for the privilege of borrowing their own money, over 12 million tax filers will pay interest rates as high as 744 percent to borrow their own money thru...more
Often people look for the latest and greatest bells and whistles to market their company. Fact is, one of the most powerful marketing strategies is one that many folks overlook. Something that can make or break a person's reputation and their ability to gain and maintain strong position is their IR or the Integrity Reading. The IR determines their level of integrity. My definition of integrity is simple. "Integrity is the ability to know we are doing the right thing in all situations. It is about accountability and responsibility. Accountability is when others can count on what we agree to and responsibility is the ability to respond. It has to do with following through on the agreements we make with others, even if following through is not the most convenient or comfortable thing to do. And if we can't follow through, having the willingness to be honest enough to let the other person know the reason why."A quick read through in the newspaper will make one believe that for many people integrity, accountability and responsibility are viewed as foreign concepts. How many people make purchases on credit with no intention of paying the lender back in the agreed upon timeframe, or worse...more
