Learn from my mistakes - Getting to know your business

One thing I have noticed in my short time of being a home business owner, is how many opportunities there are out there. To safeguard against getting involved in a scam and to ensure your success it is very important to get to know what and whom you are getting involved with. Most people will jump in with both feet and work really hard and then get disappointed when the money doesn't come pouring in. I learned that I was able to do business much better when I got to know the company I joined and more about the products they produced too. It helped to know who the president was and where he came from and why he started this business. Definitely you should read the company's financial... read full article > >

‘I'm Not A Christian, But I Play One On Sunday'

After more than three decades of church ministry, I have come to one unsettling conclusion. Actually, I've come to more than one conclusion, but this one is the most depressing.That conclusion is simply this: all who say they are going to Heaven are not actually on the right path, going in the right direction. Most, of course, have the best intentions, but good intentions don't make up for going in the wrong direction.Our government insists advertisers adhere to what they call "truth in advertising." I would like to insist on something I call "truth in testimony." By that, I mean what people say about themselves should be the truth. If this could ever be enacted by Congress, some people will... read full article > >

Corrupted by the Government

For many years Ecuador has been high on every corruption ranking. On the listing of World Audit it is currently listed 113 together with countries like Libya, Uganda and Bolivia. On a scale from 1 to 10 Ecuador receives a 1.7 for transparency from the NGO Transparancy International, devoted to monitoring corruption across the globe. Corruption has a great impact on what happens in a country. Ecuador has suffered in every single way, due to corruption. In Ecuador corruption has spread through all the layers of society, it is visible in the educational system, police, healthcare, banking and all other vital issues that impact everything and everybody in a country. Even after being in Ecuador for just a few months, I can recognize many of the issues Ecuadoreans have to deal with. I believe... read full article > >

Dear Secretary Snow; Give the Fair Tax a Fair Chance.

I understand that there is an enormous inertia in the present tax system. The incremental complication of the tax code over the last 80 years has given birth to an entire industry that is fully capable of defending their turf. These are challenging times. The American people are equally unhappy with this administration and the Democratic opposition over the handling of the war in Iraq. There has been a lack of planning, and open discussion that has led to a breakdown in communication. While we wrestle with the war, we grow even more cynical about the power of special interests and the remoteness of Washington. I believe the President should support HR 25 and help enact the Fair Tax initiative for the good of the nation. It would be a golden opportunity... read full article > >
