Of all the things we dream of when we are up to our necks in the frenzied pace of a career, the one that's most consistently a high priority is the chance to slow down. To stop running around like a chicken on speed trying to get fifty things done at once. Having the time to savor the moment--be it drinking your morning coffee or seeing Alaska for the first time--is nirvana if the pace of your life is typical. The bliss of having total control of...more
The word "solopreneur" is a relatively new term in the English language but as you likely already know, it describes a business owner who works alone. I have found that term to be useful in the collective conscious, but it's really a misnomer. Successful solopreneurs do not work solo. They create a team of people who support them in their business so they can focus on the activities that they love and make them money.However, not hiring...more
Gone are the days when the office photocopier was treated with awe, occupied a department of it's own and was the size of a bus! The introduction of microchip technology has greatly reduced the size of photocopier machines and laser technology, combined with improved toner units, now provides excellent quality reproductive imaging. Speeds, efficiency and reliability are all enhanced by huge improvements to the feed mechanisms. During this same period of evolution for office copiers, the facsimile machine became commonplace, PC and office networks became integral tools of managing most businesses and desktop publishing has been adopted as an in-house practice.Office copiers have evolved alongside most other office equipment to keep pace with modern business's technical requirements. The traditional photocopiers have been redesigned by their manufacturers to respond to today's business needs, creating a business hub capable of far more than the traditional black and white photocopier. As offices replace their photocopying equipment, companies are seeking to introduce more advanced technology to keep pace with their everyday needs. Separate, and costly, pieces of equipment providing...more

A quick explanation of what NCOA stands for is the national change of address directory the USPS keeps on record. Every time you move and update your address with the local facility they update their systems and mail get forwarded to the new address and new mail gets started to the correct location, the new location, where it is supposed to.For companies with large mailing lists not taking advantage of the software available to make sure the most important aspect of your business is not being neglected, shame on you. Below are the 5 best reasons to use NOCA Link software to improve your business.1. About 40 million addresses a year are changed in the national change of address database.
