Doing what you love priceless even at minimum wage
It has been said that if you find something to do that you love, you will never have to work a day as long as you live, and I believe that with all my heart. Why, do I believe that is true, because I have been lucky enough to find that twice in my life--once offline and now online--and to watch as my oldest son found it too. Someone said that I seemed a bit prejudiced in favor on online business, but let me you that is simply not the case at all. My favorite business of all was actually my brick and mortar used bookstore. It probably never paid me much more than minimum wage considering the hours I put in, and sometimes not even that much, but it was the absolute perfect business for me...at least until the Internet came along.

Minimum wage – good or bad for business?
The questions around the minimum wage are always going to create a heated discussion and in my opinion is just another way for governments and usually socialist style governments to control the economy and turn things in to a nanny state! What is a minimum wage? The minimum wage is the lowest hourly, daily or monthly wage that employers may legally pay to their employees.

Spending and Saving
Whether you make millions of dollars a year or earn minimum wage, there are only three things you can do with your money: You can spend it, save it, or give it away. Your spending may range from absolute necessities to outrageous luxuries. Your savings may be prudent investments or coins in your piggy bank.

They Keep Saying The Rich Don't Pay Their Fair Share
These are facts: the top one percent of wage earners in America carry a full 40% of the tax burden. That's only about 1.4 million of us, carrying 40% of the load for the other approximately 300 million. And if the tax rates go back to pre-2001 levels, those 1.4 million who have all that money to invest (and with which to employ vast numbers of other wage earners) will certainly keep that money in their pockets... and that means it'll be sheltered from taxation.

Piece work, and piece rate payment. Is this a strategy for your organization?
The purpose of piece rates is to motivate employee performance in return for a monetary reward. A simple, valid concept which is centuries old. Incentives are effective employee motivators because most people go to work for money in the first place. But incentives also benefit a company.
