How to Outsource to Free Up Your Time and Increase Your Income
How many tasks do you take on in your business? Do you pride yourself on doing the bookkeeping, reacting to email, preparing your own proposals and presentations, attending networking events, making appointments, keeping on top of the paperwork, providing your service, packaging and delivering your products, running around doing all your errands, looking after children, taking the dog for a walk...and then fitting in time to take care of yourself? How about marketing and developing your business? Where does that fit in?

Five Tips to Avoid an Email Avalanche
A few years back the NY Times published an article on the negative impact email is having on our economy. According to an Intel funded study, a typical office worker checks their email more than 50 times a day and that the annual cost on lost productivity in the US is $650 Billion! There have been many other similar studies commissioned with almost identical findings. Are you in the trap like so many other office workers? Are you an email, iPhone/Blackberry addict? Can you go 45 minutes or longer without checking your email even once? If not, here are a few tips I’ve tried that might also work for you and bring some sanity to your work day.

The Balancing Act
Most people think of “getting organized” as a physical act – clearing piles of paper, putting things away, etc. What many people overlook is the mental part of getting organized. And I always say that organizing your physical environment without first clarifying your priorities is like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic!

5 Ways To Get on Top of the Paperwork
The Wall Street Journal did a survey a few years ago and found that the 'average' white collar worker spends 6 weeks a year looking for things around their office. Do you have a huge challenge coping with the incoming paperwork? (Whatever happened to the paperless office?). Paperwork lands on your desk (or enters you 'in-box') and somehow finds its way into your in-tray. Eventually the in-tray becomes so high it explodes and ends up all over your desktop. That's because you avoided taking action on those messy pieces of paper the moment they arrived. Now you have no option but to sort through the explosion and tidy up the pile or actually do something with the paperwork.

Office Fit Out Services
Moving to a new office space or refurbishment of the office fit out may give a real hardship to you and your company due to finding the right provider that will meet your unique needs for office fit out in a professional attitude and without destroying your company's budget. Your unique needs may include one of the office fit out, office refurbishment, office design, office relocation and construction services or a combination of them.

Is your desk a war zone?
A recent study in the office habits of workers and the associated costs to companies conducted by the Butler Group stated that employees are suffering from both information overload and information underload. As a result, a typical worker now spends up to one-quarter of his or her day searching for the right information to complete any given task.

Analyzing the Power Struggle and Office Politics
Office politics can get messy. Make no mistake about it: no matter where you go in the world, you will always find political turmoil. Man and womankind are ego-driven creatures and will typically fight viciously when threatened. What can you do as an innocent bystander? You must find a compromise between playing the politician (which is always a risky game) and being a docile worker (who is frequently taken advantage of).

The Post Office does it... SO CAN YOU
Have you been to your local post office lately? Take the time, make a trip there. Go right up to the window and "LISTEN". Sometime during the exchange between the customer and the postal worker they will ask the customer to buy postal products that most customers had no intention of even considering buying. They always ask you if you need any stamps or mailing supplies. They ask for the sale. Why do they do this? Because it works.

How To Make Money From Passions

Dealing with Distractions

Employee vs Independent Contractor
If you own a small business or are thinking about starting one, you will need to have a good understanding of the difference between a regular W-2 employee and a 1099 independent contract. It is usually more beneficial for an employer to have a contractor rather than an employee because the employer does not have to spend the time and effort to do payroll for that worker. Unfortunately, you don't get to just choose which status you put a worker into. The IRS forces you to choose one status or the other based on your relationship with a worker. The more supervision you have over a worker, the more likely it is that the worker should be a W-2 employee. The more independence they have, the more likely it is that they should be a 1099 contractor.
