Think of it this way:o When you work at your business you exert effort to accomplish your livelihood.o When your business works your energy produces a result, a product or a service that people desire. This is because of the particular manner or methods you are using, or because of the particular materials you are using, making or assembling.o Work is a place people go to earn their livelihood- the office, the factory, the medical clinic.o Work always requires effort, skills and exertion.o Work often involves creative expression.o Work may be for a higher purpose than moneymaking; this may be moral, religious, or something to further a public purpose such as to combat global warming.o Work is an effective operation; if the manner of working is not effective, the work will not succeed.There is a distinction between working at your business and working on your business. It has been written that when you work at your business, you are developing business, inventing products or processes; you are working on the creative part of the enterprise. When you work on your business, you are dealing with more mundane albeit important matters: organizing; making a business plan; filing; getting a new location; hiring and managing employees; dealing with accounting, regulatory, taxation or legal matters.Most businesses work at getting more work. All things being equal, the more work you get the more money you make. If you feel that your business is not work, you are probably happy with your choice of work. Work does not feel like work when you enjoy it. If you feel that your business is too much work, you probably need to do something about it; make some changes or get someone else to do some of the work.Writing music is creative work. Once in a while it is also lucrative. In the field of jazz music, sometimes an instrumental song will be written that is so special, so compelling, that another musician will create lyrics for the song. A famous example of this is the “Work Song”.The Work Song was written and recorded by Nat Adderley for the Riverside label in January, 1960 with a band which featured guitarist Wes Montgomery. Nat played the cornet, which is an instrument similar to a trumpet. Nat was the brother of the famous American saxophonist Julian Cannonball Adderley. Lyrics to the Work Song were written by Oscar Brown, Jr., who was a singer, songwriter, playwright, poet and civil rights activist. The lyrics to the Work Song are:”Work Song”Breaking rocks out here on the chain gangBreaking rocks and serving my timeBreaking rocks out here on the chain gangBecause they done convicted me of crimeHold it steady right there while I hit itWell reckon that ought to get itBeen working and workingBut I still got so terribly far to goI committed crime lord I neededCrime of being hungry and poorI left the grocery store man bleeding (breathing?)When they caught me robbing his storeHold it steady right there while I hit itWell reckon that ought to get itBeen working and workingBut I still got so terribly far to goI heard the judge say five yearsOn chain-gang you gonna goI heard the judge say five years laborI heard my old man scream “lordy, no!”Hold it right there while I hit itWell reckon that ought to get itBeen working and workingBut I still got so terribly far to goGonna see my sweet honey beeGonna break this chain off to runGonna lay down somewhere shadyLord I sure am hot in the sunHold it right there while I hit itWell reckon that ought to get itBeen workin’ and workin’Been workin’ and slavin’An’ workin’ and workin’But I still got so terribly far to go”If you have a businesses that sells products or services to other businesses, accounts receivable financing can make your business work. When other types of financing are not available, or not adequate, accounts receivable financing may be the solution to your cash flow issues. Invoice factoring is another term for this financing method. Accounts receivable financing may be combined with purchase order financing and inventory financing to make your business work nationally and internationally. These off balance sheet financing techniques work to finance exponential growth by turning the credit you extend to your customers into cash immediately. If you have “been workin’ and slavin” … “But still got so terribly far to go” it may be appropriate to consider accounts receivable financing.
The bottom line: accounts receivable financing is like adding lyrics to a great instrumental song; it can make your business work.Copyright © 2007 Gregg Financial Services

You’ll notice that the title of this article indicates that the RVing lifestyle is a cost effective way to live your dreams. Do you find that difficult to believe?Consider that there will not be a need for expensive airline tickets, which you know are outrageously high these days due to the cost of jet fuel. In addition there are no hotel room charges, no need for a rental car, and no need to eat out every day and night since you can prepare your meals in the comfort of your RV. Believe me when I tell you we’ve prepared some incredible gourmet meals in our coach.Can you imagine the sensation of truly losing your sense of time? How would it feel to have to regularly check a calendar to see what the date is? That is basically how we live when we are traveling in our RV. This is a true sense of freedom. Our lifestyle is free and spontaneous.As a retiree, it is crucial that you contemplate what you want from retirement. It is of the utmost importance that you have a retirement plan. Do you want to continue to grow and learn? Or, do you simply want to relax? Maybe you’d like to reinvent yourself and continue working part time. During our Third Age, (the first being childhood and the second family and career) we can experiment with new interests and ideas. We are living longer and healthier lives. The RV lifestyle will offer you the means to implement your plans. And, over the long term, you’ll find that regardless of fluctuating fuel prices, you can do this economically. We do know this to be true because we are doing it right now.To make the RV lifestyle work for you, it is imperative to find out if you can adjust your life to the RV way of life. Are there encumbrances that will prevent you from leaving your home? For example, are there family members that you must attend to? What about care and maintenance of your home? Do you have pets to provide for?What do you think the term “RV lifestyle” really means? Your RV lifestyle is whatever you want it to be. If you have that all-important plan for retirement in hand, an RV can be a great tool to help implement that plan. When you think about it, your RV can actually assist in the planning of your retirement. With all of the conveniences contained within an RV, even simple tasks such as going to the shopping mall, or the beach, or to most tourist attractions become more enjoyable.We have found it most enjoyable to travel around with our living room, kitchen, and bathroom. When hiking or picnicking these facilities make the experience even more enjoyable. Certainly, van conversions, truck campers, and in general, small rigs work very well in these situations. There are certain other conveniences that are specific to an RV. For example, you will not need to pack any suitcases. You will not need to catch an airplane, and, you eat in a restaurant only when you want to. If you find a location that you are particularly fond of, you may even be able to store your unit in a campground facility and perhaps have it moved on site when you arrive. Then when you leave, the RV is returned to the storage lot.Types of Recreational Vehicles
Motorized RVs offer a variety of amenities including cooking facilities, refrigeration, a self -contained toilet, heating and or air conditioning, a portable water system, an electric system, sleeping facilities and a LP gas supply. So, what that really means is that they are self-contained. You drive it and live in it.Many motorhome owners prefer to tow a car behind them. I tow a Honda CRV behind my coach because it fuel efficient, tracks well (follows the coach with ease), and is one of the few small SUVs that can be “flat towed” (towed behind the motorhome on all four wheels). There is no need to hook up a car trailer. If you do not care to tow a vehicle then you will have to unhook the RV and drive it out and about, which can be challenging if you have a large rig.A towable RV is one that is towed behind another vehicle. These are commonly referred to as trailers. Most often the tow vehicle (towing the towable) is a pickup truck, SUV, van, or even another small, motorized RV that is equipped with a tow package.Try the RV Lifestyle
If you’ve never experienced the RV lifestyle for a period of time, it is critical that you do a “test drive” of sorts. That is, rent an RV and go out for a few weeks. RV rentals are a great way to travel. You can vacation, visit new places, and at the same time, figure out what kind of RV best suits you. Before you rent you will want to consider choices of destinations, and exactly how much time you have available. Be certain that you plan well enough in advance as rental agencies to get quite busy during periods of warm weather. You will also want to think about who is going on the trip and the interests of everyone. That may affect the size of the rig that you rent.Campgrounds
Most campgrounds fall into two basic categories: overnight and destination. When we travel for longer time periods on Interstates, we typically look for those campgrounds that are that have easy on and off access. The intrinsic value of these campgrounds is convenience and not necessarily beauty. So, if they have cable TV and wi-fi access I am satisfied. Sometimes, however, if you have your handy campground guide handy, you may be able to locate a state park or private campground close by, so you do not have to listen to the sounds of the highway. And, if you are really lucky, you may come across a campground in that offers level, pull-through sites where little effort is required to set up camp.In the next article I will discuss some very useful frugal strategies for the RV lifestyle.

I really can’t tell you, how many people I’ve worked for in the past, who are tired of the problems with their old homes. Most of them purchased these homes, because they love the area or that these homes were simply cheaper than newer ones. The biggest problem with the people, who buy old homes, simply because they can’t afford to buy newer ones, is that most of the time these people can’t afford to do the home repairs either.I’d like to share something with anyone that owns a house that is over 30 years old. There is a good chance that you’re going to need to do home repairs on this house and I can’t tell you exactly when all of these repairs will be done and that you won’t ever need to do any home repairs again.This usually isn’t the case and you can plan on doing more home repairs in the future. There is just no way around it, old things need to be fixed and older homes are no different. If you’re planning on purchasing an older home, you should probably get some more information from homeowners in the neighborhood about the home repairs they have already done or need to do. This could save you a lot of grief in the future.Let me give you an idea about some of the repairs that might need to be made on older homes, if your home has galvanized water supply pipes, there’s a good chance that these will need to be replaced eventually. Cast iron waste pipes can create problems in homes that are over 40 years old, especially on those homes that have large trees growing near these drainpipes.You could find yourself replacing the entire electrical system in homes that are over 50 years old and don’t forget about termite damage, house pests, wood rot, roof leaks, structural problems, foundation problems and general wear and tear on windows and doors.There are advantages and disadvantages to purchasing older homes and home repairs is going to be one of the disadvantages. If you’re the type of person who likes to repair this stuff on your own, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to live in an older house. However, if you’re the kind of person who doesn’t want to spend all of their time or money working on their home, you should consider purchasing a newer one.

If there is a country that is obsessed with cars, then that would definitely be the United States. After all, this is where mass production of affordable cars for the masses first took place.For an American, a car is some sort of a birthright. At some point of our lives, it is really a personal necessity to have a car. It is not surprising that the US has one of the highest car populations in the world.The U.S. Department of Transportation Statistical Records Office estimates that there are 254.4 million registered passenger vehicles in America. That means that more than 80 percent of Americans have automobiles.It is not surprising, therefore, that the automotive industry, despite the recent setbacks suffered by the Big Three, is definitely one of the cornerstones of American economy.There will always be an automotive business regardless of the status of the economy.But competition in the automotive industry is at a very high level these days. More and more automotive business players are coming into the play. If you are in the automotive industry, you should certainly invest on strategies that would give you an edge over your competitors.Some would say that putting up a website is a sure way to gain more clientele. After all, are not we living in a digital age where almost all people do things over the Internet? Certainly, a website would do a lot for your business.But you should not rely on a website alone. You should come up with various marketing strategies to ensure your long-term survival. No serious businessman would limit himself to just a single marketing tool option. To ensure that you will gain an edge over your competitors, it is necessary to invest on automotive business cards.If you have an auto repair shop or a dealership, chances are your business thrives because of loyal customers who keep on coming back for your services. There are guys who will just walk into your shop occasionally, but the main lifeblood of your enterprise is those folks who have been seeking your service for several years. So, a great long-term strategy is to generate more loyal customers.This is where automotive business cards come into the play. Satisfied customers tend to recommend the services of a particular business to their co-workers, friends, and relatives. Business still is marketed in the old word-of-mouth fashion. It would be, thus, a great advantage for you if you supply current loyal customers with automotive business cards. When they refer you to their friends or relatives, the referrals would get to readily know about basic information about your business, such as your shop’s location. And if that referral would be satisfied with your services, there is a high possibility that he will seek your services again and would become another loyal customer.Points to Remember on Getting Automotive Business Cards:As with other business, your card should have a professional look. If you have a poorly designed business cards, people would think that you don’t care about your business. Appearances matter in business. Automotive business cards printed on high-quality gloss or uncoated stocks would surely attract customers.The size of your automotive business cards is also essential. Business cards should not be bulky. Credit card sized automotive business cards are perfect because they can be easily stored in wallets.
