The Hidden World of Bartering
I remember vividly my first experience scuba diving. As soon as I went beneath the surface of the sea, I realized that an entire world existed every day within my own world-and I wasn't at all aware of it. Whether or not I knew of it, that world was still alive and happening.

How to Declutter the Clutter
If you seriously want to have more time and a better quality of life, then you have to look at cleaning out all the clutter. Clutter costs you big time because... • You waste time searching for things. • Clutter occupies space. • You lose things. • Extra money is spent on stationery and office supplies which have already been bought. • Money is wasted on excess office furniture and storage to hoard the clutter. • Clutter makes you feel busy and causes unnecessary stress. You get distracted and have difficulty focusing. • Clutter affects your image. You look out of control. • You cannot prioritise or work efficiently when you can't see or find the tasks that need to be done.

How to Shape Up the Inventory when you have 5000+ SKU’s
The goal: NO EXCESS INVENTORY These days, independent retailers cannot afford one piece of excess inventory. Storage costs, insurance, pilferage, damage, depreciation, taxes and interest on loans add up to 30 percent annually to the cost of the goods you carry. Because those costs continue to rise, tight inventory control is still one of the best investments you can make - especially during the buying season.
House Arrest
More and more companies are sub-contracting their work. You’ve probably heard about people being laid off from their employer only to be hired back as a sub. These are interesting times. This can be a win win. Employers may have individuals who are only 70% productive yet they are paying for 40 hours of work. Many talented individuals are wasting their time sitting around an office cubicle with nothing to do. Once they are free to work from their home they can prospect for business from other companies, something they could not do while working full time. This may actually improve their income. The company benefits because now they can react to the cycle of business better controlling their expenses and profitability. Don’t you wish you could do that with excess inventory?

Workaholism: An Entrepreneurs Compulsion for Acceptance, Work and Money
Workaholism is merely a reaction to a need to be right, to be in control. According to Judith Sills, Ph.D. in Excess Baggage, “You are an organized person who treasures productivity. If you had a psychiatric label it would be obsessive & compulsive, and you brag about being a workaholic.”
