You're Fired - So Now What? Michigan Author Has the Solution...
It's whirling around in your head right now. You're having the same thought 85 of every 100 Americans have had. You're imagining having a business of your own. Fewer than 6% of the U.S. Population over the age of 18 are self-employed.
What's holding you back from being your own boss? Michigan entrepreneur, small business consultant and author T. Dan Nichols has the answer. With skill and insight, Nichols has cleverly merged both the motivation and the necessary business planning steps into his audio and workbook program, Lemonade Stand Simple? A 7 Step Guide to Start, Own & Operate Your Own Small Business. Nichols notes, "America is ripe for this workbook and audio program. People are losing jobs, industry is leaving the state and many of our citizens are faced with what may be their only option--self-employment." With many companies reducing and eliminating benefits and no longer providing overtime, people are increasingly forced to make up the difference by starting a new business and/or taking on a second source of income.
The U.S. Government actually has a term for these people--"necessity entrepreneurs". Many people think that it takes a lot of money to start a business, but in fact Nichols can show anyone how to start a profitable business for less than $5.00. "What makes my program different is that I provide "virtual" audio coaching with a simple question-and-answer format because data on its own has never been enough to effect change. Try flying a plane with just the flight manual -- it doesn't work.
After 20 years of self-employment, this 37 year old University of Michigan graduate and lifetime Royal Oak resident has seen consistently that people get stuck on the "head stuff". It isn't so much an inability to add debits and credits as it is fear and trepidation over the unknown. Nichols has 20 years of self-employment experience from lawn maintenance and mobile entertainment to real estate investing and business consulting. After years of entrepreneurial pursuits, he says that learning to think different is the key to profit in a country so full of possibility. "Successful entrepreneurs evolve and get better with each experience" he says.
"I'll hand you that quantum leap in thinking with this program. I'll help you make it happen in your life. My gift, my talent, my purpose is helping people to see their potential." So, if starting a business of your own has always been on your mind, Nichols leaves us with a challenge. Will you keep kicking tires the rest of your life or will you make something happen? It's Lemonade Stand Simple?. For a list of the top 12 mistakes entrepreneurs make, simply call or e-mail the author..

Fuel Economy And Personal Choices
Copyright 2006 Donovan Baldwin
I used to be an over-the-road, long haul truck driver.
For a while, I even owned and drove my own truck.
As an owner-operator, I became interested in fuel economy, and very aware of how personal choices can affect fuel economy and fuel costs.
I'm off the road now, although I still travel a great deal, mainly by car.
Like everyone else, I have listened to, and watched, news stories, discussions, and interviews on the present and future state of energy and energy sources.
As a business man and private citizen who travels extensively by car, both for business and pleasure, I am concerned about present costs and those which might be expected in the future.
Even more, however, I am becoming concerned about what might be my future, if I live long enough, and what will almost certainly be the energy future of my grandchildren, if not my children.
As a result of these concerns,...

Often, employers know the total cost of co-pays and premiums but not the amount actually spent on health care, which could potentially be quite a bit less than is spent on pre-paying for health care through insurance companies. At the same time, doctors and...
