Reasons why you should be an Entrepreneur or Start your own business

admin — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 13:58:00 +0000

The minimum qualification to be an entrepreneur of any size is to be able to take initiative. Every enterprise or a company starts off as a small sized firm. Verify yourself why exactly you want to start a new business of your own. Whether it is because of reasons like to ride on for a fast track career growth or fed up with you routine low monthly salary or hatred towards existing job. The motive for your idea to go for it reflects the result of your step. It is a fact that you will enjoy total freedom incase you run an own business. You will be able to put your ideas into action with no restriction at your own risk.

Check yourself with these following virtues in order to proceed.

a. Do you feel every other day that you can do something more than what you are doing right now ? Check it out whether it is only a feeling as a result of your routine life or is it well backed up with confidence.

b. If you are a smart worker and no compromise is your policy then just go ahead for it.

c. If you are a good learner, risk taker, potential leader then you suite the criteria to be an entrepreneur.

Why do you want to be one ?

1. Remember that it is always easy to have a business in a startup environment provided you keep it simple and small initially.

2. Having your own company always gives a scope for you to reach your dreams and greater heights.

3. You will be free from all influences, bureaucracy , politics which are prevalent at your regular job.

4. A right choice if you want to make more money in less time and in a right way so that it sustains.

5. There would be a 360 degree growth that is socially and financially.

6. A fast track career with unlimited opportunities is definitely in your way.

To be a successful entrepreneur, you need to be patient and develop abilities to cope up with the situations. Fix your targets and try hard until you reach them. You cannot expect returns unless you take considerable risk. Finally if you are strongly determined to have your own business then it would be better if you kick start on a small scale with calculated risk.

7 Genuine Weight loss Tips that Always Give Results

admin — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 05:46:00 +0000

How do you shed the extra weight, those flaps of fat from your body? You might have tried various e-books, tablets and diet plans but, nothing seem to work for you. You may actually doubt if you can actually lose weight without killing yourself.

On the other side of the river, determined people have lost their extra fat, which proves that it is not impossible. But, what works for everyone? That’s hard to tell – but, if you are determined to lose weight and take actions (small but consistent steps everyday), you will achieve the goal sooner than you imagine.

To achieve this successfully, you need to follow these seven steps.

1. Set a measurable aim – Measures such as waist length, weight are the concrete way to measure if you are succeeding or failing.

2. Visualize Success – Yes, even before you begin, visualize how happy and healthy you would look like in your new ’slim avatar’. Practise visualizations combined with affirmative words such as ‘I am determined to lose weight’, ‘I love my body and I would keep it healthy and young’.

3. Get help from others – Ask friends and relatives to hep in the process. Ask them if they can join with you for a walk.

4. Take massive actions – Go for a walk, jog or climb stairs or simply jump – do something everyday and do consistently.

5. Compliment your diet with exercise – Eat healthy foods, drink water, eat only when you are really hungry.

6. Stick to a plan that works – Try different activities, foods and stick to a combination that gives the best results.

7. Celebrate the success – This is very crucial because success alone breeds success. Treat yourself with a massage, holiday whatever appropriate (please no junk foods).

I have gone through over 50 weight-loss programs and diet plans, these are the five essential things they tell you again and again (I have cut the 80% of craps).

Here’s a quick summary of one-liners “Top 5 genuine tips for successful weight loss”

1. Fruits and veggies: Why? they fill your stomach, they are easily digestible and you will feel light and fresh after a bowl of fruits.

2. Do a physical activity regularly: Anything that interests you, but do some thing physically – yes get up now and do.

2. Starving will mess your diet: If you starve yourself, you will tend to lose your energy and may overeat next time. So, do not try this.

3. Yes to Fresh juices: Yeah, say no to Coke or Pepsi – even if it is Diet version. Squeeze some fresh juice and drink instead. No bottled juice, even. Invest in a juicer from this month salary (instead of spending on another miracle-diet-ebook).

4.Understand your body: Maintain a diary of what you are eating daily and note what does good for you and what doesn’t. Trust me, you need to understand your body first, if you want to control it.

5. Act now: There are genuine plans and methods out there that will work. But, you need to stick the teachings and act on them. ACT, TAKE ACTION.

That’s a world of difference.

Schedule & Publish Blog Posts for a Future Date in New Blogger

admin — Fri, 15 Jun 2007 21:58:00 +0000

Do you know how professional bloggers write blog posts and publish them regularly? They don’t sit around the computer all day long and publish them at regular intervals. They write a few or more blog posts at once (when they are in a blogging mood) and schedule them for a future date and time for auto-publishing. The blog posts go live when the clock ticks the scheduled time. How cool is that?

Wordpress offers a “Timestamp” feature that helps to write a blog post for a future date. When the scheduled time is reached, the post goes online. Blogger does not have the future and this is really an useful future that I suggested them in their “Feedback Form” an year ago. Till the future comes from Blogger, you can follow these simple steps to auto-publish blog posts for a future date.

Get Ready for “Auto publishing in Blogger”! I came to know about future email services such as FutureMe and LetterMeLater from Amit Agarwal’s Digital Inspiration

Step 1:
Log in to your Blogger account. Go to Settings —> Email —> Now for, “Mail-to-Blogger Address” – give an unique keyword to identify your blog – say, myblog5678. Then, note down the email id – it will be like this yr_user_id.some_keyword@blogger.com

Keep this email id safely and private. Anything emailed to this specific email-id will get published on your blog (no matter from which email-id you send it from, OK?)

When you send an email to this post, Blogger publishes to your blog. Easy one – just make sure you tick for “Publish”. If not, your emails will be stored as drafts.

Step 2:
We will use a service named LetterMeLater to send an email from at a future date and time. It is a great service to schedule an email so, we will use it write a blog post and schedule it for a later publishing. OK?

Register with LetterMeLater and click on “Compose” –> Write the blog post, do spell check. After finished writing your blog post, enter your blog-specific email-id (e.g. yr_user_id.some_keyword@blogger.com) into the “To” address, pick a date and time for auto-publishing (see pic below).

That’s it. Your blog post will go live on the specific time and date. Now, you can write your blog posts over the weekend and schedule it for publishing on the weekdays – one each day – so, you make sure that you don’t need to hurry up for posting something new every day. Rock on, bloggies!

Update: Lettermelater provides a complete html support so you can include images (use an external site to host yoru image and use the URL), html tags etc in your blog post. Only limitation is that you can not add labels to your blog post – may be you can do that in Blogger after few days.

Is there any better service that will do the same for Blogger?
