CONNECTING IS NOT ENOUGH: The Networking Journey……How networking has changed and where it is heading
May saw me celebrate a ten-year anniversary. On 11th May 1999 I started work for Business Referral Exchange, then a new networking organisation founded six months previously and with just four groups running in London, Hertfordshire and Essex. At the time networking as a formal activity was little known in the UK, with a few independent groups supplementing the networking offered by Chambers of Commerce and community groups such as Rotary. How times have changed! Networking is now a key activity for millions of small business owners across the World and, with the rise of social online networks, is being recognised as a key skill for everyone, from jobseekers to global corporates.

Ten Tips on Delegating
One way to manage your time more effectively is to delegate work to others on your staff or to contract workers you hire for specific projects. How often I hear such comments as, "It takes too much time to delegate." "If I delegate the work there is no guarantee that the work will be done properly. It is just easier to do it myself." "No one can do this as well as I can." If others who have a lower hourly rate can do the work while you focus on the work only you can do, your cash flow will be better because you can do more of the work that only you can do.

What\'s a Surety Bond?
A surety bond is a three-party instrument between a surety, the contractor and the project owner. The agreement binds the contractor to comply with the terms and conditions of a contract. If the contractor is unable to successfully perform the contract, the surety assumes the contractor's responsibilities and ensures that the project is completed. Below are the four types of contract bonds that may be covered by an SBA guarantee:

10 Things you need to know before entering into a contract
While litigation may sometimes be your only recourse, many times it is a result of signing a bad contract or not fully examining the contract you have signed. Here are ten things to know before entering into a contract that can help protect your business and your assets:

DON’T WORRY – BE HAPPY. Entrepreneurs must ENJOY
Did you know that somewhere in the back of your mind - beneath a pile of thoughts - there is a “Happiness Contract” with a lot of small print, i.e. rules, conditions, laws, and beliefs that dictate what it will take before you'll feel happy? On closer inspection, you will also find other contracts buried in your mind like “The Success Contract” and “The Abundance Contract” and the “Love Contract.” These contracts are statements of belief which influence how much joy you think is possible and how much is just too good to be true.

Features of a Marketing Agreement
A marketing agreement is a very important thing to establish when dealing with independent sales reps. This contract will protect the interest of both the manufacturer's rep and the principal. It is strongly suggested that you establish a formal contract with any sales reps that you enter into business with. The details within a contract will vary depending on the individual natures of both the sales rep and the principal, but there are several key factors that should always be included.

Los Angeles County Bar Association Professional Responsibility & Ethics Committee for Legal Outsourcing
Whether attorney in a civil case who charges an every hour rate may contract with an out-of-state company to draft a brief provided the attorney is competent to review the work, remains ultimately responsible for the �nal work product �led with the court by the attorney on behalf of the client, the attorney does not charge an unconscionable fee, client confidences & secrets are protected, & there is no conflict of interest between the client & the contracting entity. The attorney may be necessary to tell the client of the nature & scope of the contract between attorney & out-of-state company if the brief provided is a significant development in the representation or if the work is a cost which must be disclosed to the client under California law.

The Four R's of Contract Review
Recently, a client asked me about the process of reviewing a contract. What's involved? What does a lawyer do first when a client drops a contract on her desktop? How long does it take and why?

What if My Credit is Shot & I Have No Money?
When ones’ credit suffers damage, private money lenders can make a transaction possible…for a price. That, though, is a subject for another day. In the meantime, wholesaling makes it possible for a new home business to generate enough cash flow to live comfortably and, in time, save a nest egg for future purchases. The idea behind wholesaling is to bird dog great real estate investment deals, and get them into contract. Once a contract is signed and escrow opened, the wholesaler then assigns the contract to a cash buyer (another investor) who will then fix & flip it or hold it as a rental. This way everybody wins.

Real Trust Isn’t About a Contract
Trust can't be mandated and contracts don't rely on it. No contract can contain all the elements and contingencies. Trust is the only thing that can ensure that contract terms are respected and fulfilled. Read why this is so.
