Tax Cuts Are Good For Everyone

For some reason there is a movement out there of people that are opposed to tax cuts. I believe they make up a small minority, but they tend us up a lot of air time with their ignorant ideas. They believe that the rich need to pay their fair share, however that is determined. I think they lack a basic understanding of economics.

Do Tax Cuts Benefit The Rich?

Yes of course, but we're talking about people that own businesses and create jobs here. When rich people are allowed to have more of their money, they use it to make more money. The process of making more money, means they have to invest it. This process of investing, creates news jobs. We'll have the next revolutionary product out there and it will be financed by such a person. It will grow and create jobs. It will be sold to the consumers and raise their standard of living. I think that is a significant benefit to everyone in society.

Don't tax cuts for the rich hurt the middle class?

Absolutely not. I'm not sure where these myths come from, but I suspect it comes from this idea that there is only so much wealth that exists and the rich will have more of it. It's completely untrue. The middle class has a great benefit. The first is that they have access to all these new exciting products. These products are bought for one reason and one reason only, to improve their standard of living. It could be a product that makes them happy, it could be a product that makes life easier. The point is that it improves their standard of living. The next reason is that these new jobs are available to them. Not to mention existing businesses are left with profit themselves, so they can pay more to their employees. Lastly, the middle class pay less tax as well. Anytime you finish off a month and you have more money to spend than you did the previous month, you're doing better. This means you have extra money to buy something or save to improve your standard of living.

I think it is an undisputed fact that tax cuts are in the best interest of everyone. The only people that disagree with tax cuts are usually ignorant people that don't understand basic economics. I also feel that they don't speak for the vast majority of people that hate to see a huge chunk of their pay check disappear to the government.

Make Money Fast and Easy

This is where the rubber meets the road. Traction is something we all lack when we are doing our research and ultimate field tests in the quest for our first million. More traction would be great whatever step in the ladder you are at.

We generally focus on helping fledgling millionaires in our work because it is the most rewarding and gives us the greatest bang for our buck. To see an individual go from clueless to savvy in a fortnight is a gratifying experience. When its our resources that helped that transformation, then its very satisfying indeed. So thats the area we focus on here. This is for people who need direction but have small resource capital to manufacture acceptable results.

So lets give you a little traction before you seize your jets.The following 5 strategies will give you the moves to take you to the first level. -A guy/gal with a proven idea that can be replicated-(An enviable position to be in)

1) Lets get this straight. Million dollar bank balances are numerical in nature. By that I mean a million bucks is not made up of 1 large million dollar bill. Its made up of exactly one million single's. Or to go to the lowest common denominator, its actually numerically made up of One thousand, million (or 1 billion) cents.

Make money fast and easy by thinking of money as numerical and therefore exponential. A dollar that you hold in your hand is the same as $1 million dollars. No difference at all. Its a seed that grows into a tree, then that tree spurrs more seeds. (I apologize for the metaphor, but how else can we put this so you understand the nature of the reality as it is)

2) When you approach your 1 million dollar goal, you are biting off much much more then you can chew thinking about that million.

To make money fast and easy always think small. Refine, refine, refine. Then duplicate, duplicate, duplicate. Are you with me? Is this making sense? Make a simple little mouse trap, then make lots of mouse traps exactly the same way.

3) Find demand and supply into that demand.

To make money fast and easy, even before you think about "what" you will do, you are going to research demand. You will become an expert at sniffing out needs. This skill is a millionaires bow and arrow. Let me tell you, most millionaires couldn't hit the side of a barn much less the bulls eye. But they DO know this. So their aim is not important. What is important is that the target is nice and gigantic. How can they miss?

Trust me, its what millionaires do, its how millionaires think. Always supply into Fat juicy demand where the picking is easy. Do you want medals of bravery or a million bucks asap?

4) Have a structure you never deviate from.

They always failed to plan when they planned to fail. Once your research is done never deviate from it. Give it a good run but if it doesn't work out for you then move on without shedding a single tear. Chance and "chaos theory" are fascinating things. Probability is what millionaires deal with. They never delude themselves into believing in absolutes.

To make money fast and easy, you will not work backwards or second guess yourself. Plant yourself firmly in the middle of the road on the high side and go forward. Don't make it up as you go. Stick to what your demand planning told you to do. Many give up after 1 failure, but probability is a funny thing. We think we can control it, but even when all your ducks are lined up in a row, it may not work. But give it a chance and let it prove itself and you may find over a number of attempts you will get the results you expected.

5) Diversify AND Go deep.

They call out diversify when it comes to investing. Fair enough. Things change and relying on just one source for your income stream is dangerous. And it is. But there are two sides to every coin.

The pareto principle states that reality and probability are stacked unevenly. We as rational human beings think of everything as equal and even. However scientific evidence and business experience tells a different story. The pareto principle is also known as the 80/20 rule. It states that 80% of your results comes from 20% of your activities. Is this significant if true? You bet. It means that of every effort you make, of all the many things you do to manufacture your results, only 20% actually is responsible for a large proportion (in fact 80%) of them.

So what does this mean in English? It means you can easily quadruple your results by finding out what that special 20% activity is and stop doing everything else. By focusing on just that 20% activity you will not only increase results, but you will create a new pareto principle refined of the old one at a higher level. In this way you move forward and evolve your activities to higher and higher levels.

To your health and rapid success.

If you need money now, like I mean in the next 10 minutes, try what I did. I now am making more money than in my old business and you can too.

Contractors Insurance Explained

Working as a contractor can be difficult enough while worrying about things such as profit and loss, being paid on time and beating targets. However, there is also a legal risk to any firm which works on a consultancy or contractual basis; in that they are open to legal action should they make a mistake which results in a client losing money. Some simple insurance policies can help take away some of this risk, and can provide peace of mind should a firm ever face a legal claim. Contractors insurance also need not be overly complicated, and can also be good value.

Many contractors choose professional indemnity insurance, which is a type of cover designed to kick in if a firm ever faces a legal claim following a mistake, omission, or act of negligence. If a building contractor is hired by a larger company to complete the building job, which then turns out to be inadequate and even unsafe due to an error, the company may lose money and seek to recover their costs from the contractor.

A professional indemnity policy would cover the legal costs of defending the claim. It does not normally matter whether or not the claim itself is invalid or successful and will protect a claim not just against legal bills from a solicitor for their services, but also for any compensation which may be awarded to a successful claimant.

As with other types of cover, an excess will apply, meaning the policy holder will have to pick up an initial fee before the insurance kicks in. This can be a few hundred pounds up to thousands, and is agreed at the start of a policy.

Different levels of cover are also available as some contractors will need a greater amount of protection than others. For example, a firm dealing with large multinational clients and working on large projects may want protection for legal bills to a much higher amount than someone working on a small scale with a small number of employees.

Indemnity insurers also normally include protection should a contractor be sued for breach of copyright or confidence, or even if an employee behaves dishonestly, resulting in a legal claim, i.e. should the employee steal from a client.

Public liability insurance is also a possible part of a contractor's insurance policy, and is different to indemnity. It will help protect a firm if they face a legal claim from a member of the public who has suffered an injury or illness, or even an action which results from a death, which occurs as a result of the company's work.

Again public liability will help pay for the cost of defending such a case and will even cover any compensation awarded in the event of a successful claim, again up to certain limits.

Contractors insurance can therefore include protection from some common legal pitfalls and guards against some of the more unexpected events as opposed to things like fire or theft. A legal wrangle can potentially be even more stressful and financially damaging so many companies see the right protection as essential.

11 Tips For Hiring Landscape Contractors

This article will list the biggest mistakes homeowners make when hiring a landscape contractor and also show you how to avoid them.

These useful FREE landscaping tips can help homeowner avoid costly mistakes and will save money when hiring a landscape contractor.

Here are 11 costly pitfalls and how you can identify them, and more importantly, avoid them:

  1. Hire only licensed landscape contractors. Look for the following license:
    • Landscape Contractors (C-27)
    • Swimming Pool Contractor (C-53)
    • General Building Contractor (B)
  2. Check the contractor's license number by calling the Contractors State License Board (800) 321-2752 or and California Landscape Contractors Association to make sure their license and liability insurance are current. Also check out their website if they have one.
  3. Get at least three references from your prospect contractor and review past work and visit several sites if possible.
  4. Get at least three bids. You can do this on your own by going on-line to research contractors in your area or use our recommended contractors. (If you hired a landscape designer , you should already have a set of landscape concept design plan for biding).
  5. Get a written contract from the contractor and do not sign anything until you completely understand the terms. Ask questions if something is not clear.
  6. Pay 10% down or $1,000, whichever is less. This is an industry standard for a contract.
  7. Keep all records of payments to avoid any issues with respect to payments.
  8. Don't pay cash as cash payments have a way of disappearing from the books.
  9. Don't make final payment until you are satisfied with the job because it will be very hard to get the contractor to come back and fix something once they have gotten paid.
  10. Keep all documents and papers relating to your project, including any project changes and amendments. Just remember, if it is not in writing then it does not exist.
  11. When in doubt, hire only a licensed professional contractor who is current with landscape industry. A professional landscape contractor's primarily focus should be a client's interest first and foremost.

Do your homework before making any decisions. Not all the contractors have the same specialty and skills. Your desired style should match the contractor's ability/skills to get the most benefit.

Roxanne (Roxy) Kim-Perez is a professional landscape designer providing landscape design service in and around San Diego. Her design firm http://www.forget-me-notlandscapedesign.com is a landscape design company that specializes in modern residential landscape designs with emphasis on energy efficient, low maintenance, sustainable and comfortable designs for Southern California home owners.

Choosing the Right Commercial Flagpole

Standard commercial flagpoles range from thirty to sixty feet and are usually made of a single piece of aluminum or steel tubing.

You may want two, three or more flagpoles, depending on how dramatic you want to be. Be sure that there is enough room between flagpoles to allow the flags to wave, and leave room for growth in case you want to install bigger flags later on.

There are two types of halyard systems, or rope and pulley systems, for raising and lowering a flag. External halyard systems are located on the outside of the pole. In this type of rigging, the flag is attached to a rope, which is looped through a truck, or wheel, at the top of the flagpole. The rope is wound around a cleat at the bottom to lock the flag in place and prevent it from moving up and down the flagpole. The problem with external halyard system is security: it is too easy for someone to cut the rope.

For higher security and durability, choose an internal halyard system, in which the rope or cable is located on the inside of the pole. It is accessible with a special winch through a hinged door compartment near the base of the shaft. And choose a revolving truck, so that the flag will not become wrapped around the pole when the wind changes directions.

When it comes to choosing a commercial flagpole material, you cant go wrong with steel. Steel flagpoles are the strongest poles available, and require absolutely no maintenance.

For a more classic look and feel, choose a bronze alloy. Bronze alloys are mainly used for national and historical architectural projects. A flagpole made of this material will darken with age.

Commercial flagpoles come with a flash collar, which fits over the ground sleeve and bottom of the pole to protect it from the elements and gives the base a finished look.

Flag poles Info provides detailed information on flagpoles of all types, including telescoping, fiberglass, commercial, residential, aluminum, tailgating, wall mounted, in ground, flagpoles for sale, and more. Flag poles Info is affiliated with Original Content Web.

No Fee Work at Home Jobs and the Easy Way to Find Them

I am always surprised that work at home websites can make good money by demanding job seekers pay up front money for no fee work at home job leads. We live in a free economy so, I understand why some sites do it. The fact of the matter is that a lot of effort is needed to go through thousands of job boards and web sites to find no fee work from home jobs.

You probably already know this but the big job sites such as Monster.com and Careerbuilder are not specialized in no fee work from home jobs. The at home jobs listed there are usually mixed in with regular jobs and the thousands of home based business opportunities which tend to require a fee.

It can take two life times just to filter through all the junk to locate just one free work at home job lead. And it will take just as much time to find the next lead. I know what you are thinking he must be a mind reader. As a result, you have found my article.

Trust me I feel your pain and have been to hell and back with that process But I do have a solution for you. When searching big non work at home specialized websites, the first thing you need to know is what keywords to use in the search box.

So let's break down the keywords to avoid. Do not type in the following keywords:

Work At Home

Work From Home

Work At Home Jobs

Work From Home Jobs

Work At Home Job

Work From Home Job

Work At Home Opportunity

Work from Home Opportunity

Work At Home Opportunities

Work From Opportunities

Do you see the pattern here? I know it does not make sense. But the problem is many of the shady people as well as legitimate home based business opportunity providers use these keywords. Obviously you want to avoid the scam artist, there isn't an explanation that needs to be provided for that. Legitimate home based business opportunities are fine but in my experience some of you prefer to be employees rather than owning a business where you could make significantly more money. I'm not knocking you, but the fact of the matter is you are more likely to earn way more money with your own home based business. But I digress. Here are the key words you want to use for your search in the major job sites:

telecommuting

telecommute

telecommuter

telework

teleworking

virtual

virtual employee

virtual company

virtual office

working virtually

remote work

remote contractor

outsourcing opportunity

freelance

freelance jobs

independent contractor

off-site

These keywords should filter through the "junk" results. You may want to search using quotation marks around the keywords to refine down the list even further.

Well that's all folks, a simple way to find no fee work at home job at the big job sites. It's a start but personally you may be better off letting other work at home websites do the dirty work for you.

Work At Home No Scams.com already compiles a list of no fee work at home jobs. Be sure to save yourself the headaches and find your work at home jobs now.

Make Money Online With Pay Per Click

Many people have considered signing up with Pay Per Click as a good way to make money online. While it is still entirely possible to use this method as a profitable means to make money online, there are a few things that you have to consider if you are to get the most out of it.

One of the first things that you have to realize is that the days of using Pay Per Click to make money online easily are over. There are far too many online marketers - most of them new to the business - that have grand plans of earning big money by way of pay per click advertising with Google AdWords and by buying traffic on Google. While it is indeed the fastest way to draw traffic to your web site, it is by no means easy. Sure you can buy loads of traffic fairly easily, but making money with pay per click is another matter entirely.

You also have to keep in mind that Pay Per Click is not a get rich quick scheme. This is another common misconception and one that far too many people have learned the hard way. It is certainly true that pay per click is still a huge market with a great potential for opportunities and financial rewards, but if you are expecting to get rich quickly it simply wouldn't be too realistic to expect that. Furthermore, it appears that new advertisers - especially on Google - are in fact at a huge disadvantage as far as Pay Per Click is concerned.

While we are by no means telling you that you should discount Pay Per Click outright, it is important to figure out how it can best work for you in order to maximize its potential to earn money for you. There are still many web sites that make a lot of money through Pay Per Click advertising and it is possible for it to work for you as well. You do have to be aware that the success of Pay Per Click varies from market to market, with some areas enjoying huge success and others failing miserably. In some areas it can even take months and months before these efforts begin to show profits.

The key to make money online with pay per click is figuring out a method that will helps you hone in on effective keywords and combining them into effective ad groups.

How the Universe Will Make You Rich

If you are an avid watcher or listener of motivational products like DVD, Podcasts or Life Coaching then you may have heard of The Law of Attraction. This is a concept that has been around since the beginning of the twentieth century and has been debated and discussed in many texts throughout the last 100 years.

Very basically, the concept is based around the following four steps;

1. Know what you want.

2. Ask the universe for it.

3. Feel and behave as if the object of your desire is on its way.

4. Be open to receiving it.

Should we be considering this concept or is it merely just another collection of new-age philosophy that is designed to encourage a wave of positive thinking? Let us discuss what the Law is, whether it is real and how we can use the concept to help our personal development.

It is easy to view the Law of Attraction as the easy route. Just think of what you want and it will happen for you. The obvious response is to think to yourself that there is nothing to worry about because success will just come to you. But this is not the concepts purpose, as you will have to actually do something for it to work. But you can activate it by amending your thinking to begin the process towards success and growth.

Have you ever thought about someone and the telephone rings and it is them? I think we have all had this at least once or twice. If this happened once to a friend or family member, we could think how amazing that is and it is a co-incidence. But to happen to many people has to make us stop and think. The philosophy is that what we think about will happen to us, whether it is good or bad. Therefore it is sensible to make our thoughts pure and totally focused on what we want to achieve. The Law of Attraction says that when we think about something the Universe will help make it happen. Noel Edmonds a popular U.K television presenter wrote down that he wanted a new T.V. show after having success in the 1990's with Noels House Party. He has said in many interviews that without the Universes help he would not be enjoying the success of Deal or No Deal or Noels Christmas Presents, which are his latest two successful shows.

Look at your current lifestyle critically. Lots of people have the goal of getting up, going to work, getting home as quickly as possible and then watching T.V. The universe makes this happen and they tend to achieve this quite well! But the law does not care what we want, it merely provides it blindly. So it is very important that you empower yourself to implementing some change and take control of your earning power and future. It does not necessarily need to be a business or even making money, but follow your goals with complete focus and the law will do the rest.

The law is based on what the power of positive thought can achieve. The fact you are here reading this article suggests you have an awareness of this and can relate to it, even if it at present observing others is the only tangible evidence. Everyone who has a rags to riches story is testament to the power of positive thought. In 1937 Napoleon Hill published his book Think and Grow Rich which became one of the best selling books of all time selling over 60 million copies. He discusses the importance of controlling your own thoughts in order to achieve success, as well as the energy that thoughts have and their ability to attract other thoughts and therefore opportunities.Can youwork out what Hills great secret of the book holds? He said it is better if you work it out for yourself, and it is widely believe the Law of Attraction is the big secret he alludes to throughout the book.

Scientists are critical of the law because they cannot measure it. The word law implies a set of rules, so when the only way we can measure the success of the law is through occurrences which could easily be looked on as luck we are obviously open to criticism when believing in things like this. Another very obvious criticism is that if merely thought produced positive results then why poverty, famine and death in third world and other suffering countries?

Readers are encouraged to watch The Secret (2006 which focuses on the Law of Attraction. This can be found on amazon. This gained so much exposure that Oprah Winfrey dedicated two shows to the concept, and Larry King also had a lengthy discussion on the subject.

My personal take on the idea is that it enforces things I already hold close to me. Positive thinking never hurts, but to think negatively or not at all means you can never reach your potential. If you decline to learn how to ride a bike do not expect to be able to cycle. So do not be one of these people who sits back and shouts that life is not kind to them, stand up and force life to consider you as a potential success.

Whether or not you are helped by the Universe in reaching your goals, a lot of your assistance will come from within. The dogged determination to let nothing stand in your way will break as many barriers and obstacles as any law can. If the law does exist, then combining your own positive attitude with the universes help will make you unstoppable.

A Practical Guide to Employee Motivation

Motivating your employees is key to the success of your company. Here are seven ways you can effectively increase your employees' motivation - starting today!

1. Ask each of your employees for what and how they'd like to recognized. Do they want to be recognized for the quality of their work or the quantity? For the way in which they do their work (cheerfully, efficiently, innovatively)? Do they want to be recognized individually or as part of a group? Publicly or privately? Look for opportunities to boost motivation by providing the recognition that each individual is seeking. For many people, a simple "thank you" in the form of a note on their desk or a voice-mail message will go much farther than a monetary reward.

2. Evaluate the roles/jobs in your organization. Do they involve a variety of challenging opportunities or have they been distilled into boring, repetitive tasks? Take advantage of opportunities to expand or enrich jobs/roles to increase variety, autonomy or decision-making authority.

3. Seek untapped resources. Ask your employees what skills/interests they possess that they are not currently using on the job and/or what skills/interests they would like to develop on the job. Look for ways enhance or enrich specific roles/positions to capitalize on this untapped potential and increase opportunities for challenge and variety.

4. Identify what employees find fulfilling. Ask them about their ideal workplace or job - they will typically describe an image that taps into their intrinsic motivation. Help them find ways to build elements of their ideal into their current job.

5. Review organization policies and practices. Determine if your organization enhances or inhibits employee motivation. What outcomes do employees receive? Do they value these outcomes? Do these outcomes encourage employees to put forth greater or lesser effort? Adjust practices, policies, and/or outcomes as appropriate to positively impact employee motivation.

6. Define expectations. Work with your employees to establish clear, measurable goals for their roles/tasks. Link these goals to the overall objectives of the organization and ensure that feedback is available to help employees track their progress toward their goals.

Just a Little Motivation For Business

First of all let me say that every business owner out there feels down in the dumps at times. So do not think for a second that you are the only one because you are not. How do you think business owners feel when they must close down, which happens over 90% of the time. But you want to separate yourself from them and be in the other 10%. Well if you do then it takes work and action on your part. Of course it will not be that easy. But you keep fighting to make your money that is yours. Everybody wants to get there cut so they must succeed and that is what competition is.

One big dream killer is the fact that so many people believe they should be rich after doing internet marketing for only a few months. Most likely caused by sales pages and millionaires claiming that you will be rich after going through their program. Such garbage is not the case in reality. It takes years to become financially free unless you have a very unbelievable idea and put it to action immediately. But odds are that will not happen. So if things are really bad for you now as oppose to before do not worry. As long as you keep working at it great things will happen. Things will always get worse before they get better. I mean that is just nature. So sales are not at their peak, BIG DEAL. Just keep your eyes on the prize meaning a big fat bag of cash.

Also nobody gets rich overnight. Nobody is that lucky! Luck comes from working hard. You make your own luck by working hard. The harder you work, the more luck will come your way. Once again that is nature. It is incredible what people are capable of when they have an attitude that can not die. Just work on your attitude. Get it through your head that anything is possible and people do become very successful. I believe the greatest success happens when somebody makes a lot of money by doing something they absolutely love doing. There is a difference between a job and work. A job is more like something you would rather not do, but should get done if you do not want problems in the future. While work is anything that you use your energy on. It could be having a hobby like playing guitar, that requires energy and can be very fun. Anyway just keep working hard and know what you are doing. Then success will come and the harder you work the, sweeter success will feel.

Make Money Online - Info Overload

Do you know what the number one thing standing between your online success is? If you said not having the right information, I'd have to totally disagree because there is so much info available today it will make your head spin.

How about not having the right product to sell? No, that's important to be sure, but it's certainly not stopping you from hitting it big.

Could it be not taking action (letting the fear of the unknown stop you)?

Well, you're getting closer... because it's the reason why 99.9% of people fail to take action. What is it?

The number one thing standing between you and making money on auto-pilot is mastering info overload and focusing through the overwhelm of too
much information!

That's right it's Info overload! Sorting it all out so you know what's right for you, what model you want to pursue, which 'expert' has the right path to follow.

If I was starting all over from scratch not knowing anything today (at this particular point in time), I think I'd probably feel like overwhelmed because there's simply too much info today... too many choices.... too many people to listen to!

Every time you turn around there's another guru with another magic pill for you to swallow... another teleseminar to attend.... ..another eBook for you.... ..another blog or forum to join... ..another squeeze page for a newsletter or eCourse that promises to put you on the path.

Don't get me wrong, there is more and better info and resources available today than ever before. However, that's a double edged sword because even though there has never been more ingenious methods to make money online today, you still have to get started with the right method for you. There are just too many choices.

And, let's face it. We are all different people with different goals, different wants and desires, different backgrounds, different experiences, different challenges, and different ideas of what success looks like for us, right?

Because of that not every solution will work for everyone.

It's about finding the one that works for you and your life. It's got to fit you instead of you trying to fit yourself to it.

Have you heard of opportunities where all you need to do is to send an SMS, and in return you get attractive gift vouchers? Well, do you think they are a scam? You may think so because you may not have any one of the gifts that were promised. But ask the person who won the gift item or money and he would tell you quite the opposite story.

So, why do companies make people believe in make money with SMS contests? Let us face the facts - If you are launching a new product and you want more and more people to know about your product, what would you do? You would entice all of them by telling them, "Make money with SMS." To be fair to the contest itself, you could end up declaring one person as the winner. Take a look at what you have done though. You would have by now, brought in more than thousand respondents. It is a perfectly legal opportunity, and what's more - You get to make some money, only if you are lucky!

What an Olympic Champion Taught Me

Several years ago, I was training at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado. During my early morning work-out I noticed this guy squat-walking around the track with a tire full of sand or something around his neck. It was obviously very heavy.

Can You Squat-Walk?

I did not know who the guy was or what he did as an athlete. Finally, one day at lunch I happened to be sitting across the table from him. I introduced myself. His name was Eric. I said, "I see you doing the squat-walking every morning. That's incredible. What sport do you do?" And he said, "I'm a skater, you know, a speed skater." Eric seemed to be a very unassuming person.

The Conversation That Changed My Life

We were both young guys in our early 20s. We met a few more times at lunch and one day I asked him, "How're the Winter Olympics going to be looking for you?" And he said, "I'm doing well. My training is going well." I asked, "How are you going to do?" And he said, without a trace of ego or arrogance, "I think I'm going to win five gold medals." And I'm thinking, "5 gold medals! He's a crazy man!"

So I Asked ---

So I followed up by asking why he thought he would win five gold medals. His answer changed my life. It was:

"Because I train harder than anyone else in the world."

I look at his answer as giving himself a rational reason for the irrational belief that he could win five gold medals. Therefore, as long as he continued training harder, he'd be giving himself permission to believe he could win.

I also asked him about his competition in the various events. He told me something else that rocked me. He said:

"The competition is with myself."

Eric only competed with himself. With his goals. With his physical capacity. The "competition" did not exist in his world.

For those of us who are old enough to know, Eric Heiden went out and he did win five Olympic Gold Medals in the 1980 Winter Olympics and while doing this he set Olympic and world records.

Big learning here...

Your WHY Is More Important Than Your What.

Eric linked himself to the outrageous goal of five gold medals. How?

Gold Medals = Working Harder Than Anyone Else = Eric Heiden's Belief

When you believe that it's possible, and give yourself a rational reason to believe it's possible, and you work like your hair is on fire --- then... IT IS POSSIBLE!

Success - How to Eliminate Self Sabotaging Habits Forever

Unconscious patterns of self sabotage are often seen as significant impediments to one's success.

Why do they happen and how can they be forever released?

Well in short there are a number of reasons for their existence such as:

1. I don't deserve to be successful.

2. I'm afraid of success.

3. I'm afraid I might fail.

4. Fear of making mistakes.

5. Fear of taking full responsibility for one's decisons and actions.

6. Fear that success will change me as a person.

7. Fear that success will cause others to take advantage of me.

And so on.

All of the above beliefs and feelings are pre-programmed into you from early childhood experiences in your family, or through interactions with others whose confidence you choose to accept. This programming is held deep inside of you and lurks there waiting to be called upon whenever you get too close to success.

In other words it is often two steps ahead of you and waiting to head you off at the pass.

What can you do about these programs? Well first it is important to recognize that they are there, that they are unconscious, that they must be made conscious and that by doing so the opportunity to flush them out once and for all exists.

The fact that they cannot be eliminated if you are not consciously aware of them is very important.

Now all such negative programming is sourced from negative memories that feed and anchor them into your being. These negative memories, by definition, have associated with them painful negative emotions which you have chosen to suppress from conscious awareness. They have been suppressed because you have been afraid of re-experiencing these painful feelings.

So what is being said here is that in order to release the negative programming one must first release the fear of feeling the painful feelings associated with them. Here I will take you through this first crucial step in your journey to success.

So we'll begin with the fear of feeling and enduring painful feelings from the past (i.e. things such as sadness, shame, embarrassment, grief, guilt, anger, etc.)

What is the benefit to you of having this fear living inside you?

Well one might say that the fear allows me to supress these painful feelings out of conscious awareness so that,

I won't have to feel them, so that,

I can achieve a sense of relief, inner peace, a sense of calm, safety, security, so that,

I can function effectively in my daily life and achieve success, happiness and fulfillment.

So in summary one has that:

The fear of feeling and enduring painful feelings from the past causes one to feel a sense of relief, inner peace, a sense of calm, safety, security, achieve success, happiness and fulfillment. I call this the Summary Statement.

Now lets look at the other side of the equation, so to speak.

Allow yourself to reconnect with the fear of feeling or enduring painful feelings from the past.

This can be done by allowing yourself to begin to remember some past painful event and then noticing the fear that ensues as a result of attempting to do that.

As you focus primarily on the feelings of fear notice what these feeings are doing to you.

You may notice, if you are astute enough, that the fear has a paralyzing effect, makes you feel numb or confused, makes you indecisive, leads to feelings of anxiety, physical tension, feeling overwhelmed, weighed down, helpless, hopeless, feelings of dread, depletion of energy and motivation and so on.

So is this fear toxic to you? Absolutely yes!

Does this however correspond to the Summary Statement above?

Well if you assess these closely you'll see that they are complete opposites and hence cannot be simultaneously true. So which is the truth?

Clearly the latter so that makes the summary statement false. If you see this and hence would like to have that false Summary Statement cleared from your life simply assert this to yourself as if speaking from your heart.

Next, recognizing that the fear of feeling one's feelings is toxic you may also wish to release this fear by asserting from your heart that this fear also be purged from your life.

Finally, contemplate how you would rather be feeling and experiencing yourself and your life and if this new state is desirable to you also assert this from your heart and then notice how you feel.

You may, if you've followed this closely, be feeling more energized, buoyant, self confident, alive, present, centered and more like your true authentic self at this point.

This is your first step to being able to truly manifest your full potential through a process I call the Mind Resonance Process (MRP). If you'd like to build on this kindly contact me at the email address below.

Habits To Prevent Losing Things

What It's Really All About?

Sometimes in the hurry of it all, we forget what its really about. What is it really about anyway? It is about being grateful and simply experiencing the joy that comes from sincerely appreciating everything. Let us realize that with such a fast paced life and the glitz and glamour of wanting it all, it sometimes can be hard to enjoy and appreciate the simple things every day. Perhaps its that we do not appreciate as often as we should. Appreciation is the very essence of personal and business success. How do you show appreciation?

The secret is in building relationships. Building relationships is what success on any business level is all about, no matter what time of year it is. How do you build strong relationships? Start with a smile. It is free and works wonders.. Always be genuine and sincere with clients. Never sell them your product. I realize that this sounds odd because as a business owner this is what you do, sell. Remember why it is that you patron the places you patron. Most likely you shop there because you know that these businesses are not simply selling you a product. They are helping you solve your problem and simply care. Make your clients part of your business. Clients are the main reason for my business. Without them I do not exist. So simply scheduling some special events, writing handwritten thank you notes, fun contests, blog and more really help in creating word of mouth and build a sense of community that people want to belong to. These are just some ways to building relationships in your organization. Do a little cause marketing. Host an auction event and offer some items from your business and invite other surrounding businesses to get involved. This auction can add as part of your holiday party. You will make it more memorable, create entertainment and make people feel good about doing good deeds.

Launching a new product this year. Offer free samples at a party. It could be casual. Take this time to get up close and connect with everyone in your organization. Wait until New Year's to thank your clients. You could offer tips to sweep out the old and create great fortune in the coming year. Write handwritten notes to all of your clients and schedule to have them delivered on New Year's Eve. Hand written notes are a great gesture throughout the year. Send them healthy snack gift baskets instead of chocolates and the other high calorie stuff we eat too much of during the holidays. Trust me they will be glad you gave them something crunchy like popcorn or pretzels. This last tip is really for you. Remember to focus on what is important to you and always be genuine and sincere. Take some time and reflect on what is important to you? Maria Shriver's book," Just who will you be", is a great short read to help you gain some perspective if you need it.

How to Write Articles - 4 Guidelines to Writing Winning Articles

Are you looking for knowledge on how to write articles? Then look no further. Together we are going to discuss the steps necessary to writing good quality articles that will presell your visitors.

How to write articles strategy #1: Brainstorm.

Every good writer brainstorms on a topic before writing to do otherwise is lazy and you'll end up writing sloppy articles that nobody will read. Sit down at a comfortable spot in your home and take about 15-30 minutes to think of topics that you think your audience would be interested in knowing more about.

How to write articles strategy #2: Research.

Next, you're going to research the topic you just brainstormed. If your writing search engine optimized articles go over to Google's keyword tool type in the keyword. Your looking to see if your keyword gets any searches. Only write articles that get at least two hundred searches or more each month.

A quick tip for writing SEO articles: Place the keyword in the article title preferably within the first three words. For example, if my keyword was "network marketing success" my headline would be "Network Marketing Success." And place the keyword at least once in each paragraph.

How to write articles strategy #3: Gather Tips.

If the topic your wanting to write about gets two hundred or more searches per month then your ready for the next strategy, which is to gather tips for the article.

Type the keyword(s) in a search engine click and read a few articles on the topic. Write down a few tips that you think your readers would enjoy reading and expand on them. Writing "How To" articles is a great way to write using this method.

Article writing strategy #4: Outline.

Now your ready to begin writing the article. Simply take the tips you gathered earlier and write a few sentences about each tip. You want to have an opening paragraph that will describe what you plan to achieve with your article, and then a few body paragraphs to elaborate the major points of discussion.

After you have written the article put it away for a day or two then come back to it and polish up the article then publish the article on your website and article directories.

At the end of the article your going to want to capitalize on the time and effort you spent writing the article. The link in your resource box should lead the traffic back to your website or a lead capture page.

The reason you want a link at the bottom of a article is because if other webmasters like your article they will take your article and publish it on their website giving you more traffic.

Writing Squeeze Page That Sell

Designing and creating a good squeeze page (a.k.a landing page) is essential for internet marketers who want to make real money. But how do you make a good squeeze page? Here's how:

1. Make your purpose crystal clear
A good squeeze page focused on ONE purpose - getting the visitor to buy or subscribe to a newsletter. All other features of a good squeeze page are geared to increase the likelihood of the visitor to convert.

2. Use one page for one set of related keywords.
When you're targeting multiple types of audience you *must* make different squeeze page for each one. People who visit your page come with various intentions and mindsets. By customizing and fine tuning your squeeze page for each type you can state the exact benefits of you offer for each type.

3. State the benefits in your headline
You want the visitor to keep reading your offer so put the biggest benefit there and follow up by more benefits in the sub-headlines.

4. Keep the page design simple
White background and black fonts gives your page a professional look instead of amateurish. It's simple yet effective. It's okay for the headlines and sub-headlines to have different color but for the rest black is the way to go. You may have graphics but keep it all simple, no flashy blinking banners please.

5. Use psychological triggers in your sales copy.
Simple words like guaranteed, proven, absolutely, shocking, etc. Sprinkle them sparingly throughout your sales copy. Your headline and sub-headlines need to have one too.

6. Let it flow
Re-read your squeeze page over and over again. Does the sentences and paragraphs flow or seem like block of gibberish text mashed together.

7. Sprinkle multiple calls to action
Place the "Buy Now" or "Subscribe" button in the middle and the bottom of the page. You can also hyperlink some words like "join now", "act today" to your shopping cart/checkout. You need to do this because some people are easier to convert than others. If half of the squeeze page is enough to convert him/her then why wait until the end of the page to place that "Buy Now" button?

8. Give the reader a sense of urgency
Use a time-bound or quantity-bound offer. Don't fake it or you will lose your credibility. Tell the reader to act now or else they will miss your great offer. Another tactic is to increase the price after every 10 - 20 sales. That way the reader will hesitate to postpone buying because the price will increase if he waits.

9. Show yourself
Put your best smile on the page. You can increase your visitors' trust and conversion ratio using this method. It shows that you are a real person offering something of value to them and will cover their back when they need help.

Getting Up Earlier

Communication in Business

Effective communication in business is not about creating the perfect PowerPoint presentation. It's not about writing the perfectly-pitched report. It's not even about assiduously alliterating {smile}.

Sometimes effectively communicating in business can hinge on something really simplethe habits you bring to your interactions with others.

As we all know, we all have habitual behaviours that we carry around with us and use unconsciously. It could be the "um" you sandwich between every fourth word of your presentation. It could be the nervous 'fig-leaf' gestures of your hands. It could be your constant swaying and looking away from your audience, as if you should be somewhere else far more important right at that moment.

Whoever you are, whilst you may know your facts inside-out, whilst your work ethic is the standard by which others are measured, if you don't recognise and work on your personal presentation habits you might eventually destroy all that you have strived so hard to achieve.

Whatever your particular habit is, you can best find out what it is by two great methods:

1. Ask your colleagues what you do in face-to-face encounters that annoys them

2. Have someone video a presentation to a group that you give.

We all have a communication habit that works against us in some small way. But the challenge we face is that, left unattended, they start adding up. The more you have, the more unprofessional you look.

Here's eight interpersonal communication blunders that can wreck your career over time:

Owning a weak handshake: A weak handshake signals uncertainty, hesitation, a lack of integrity, a lack of confidence and a lack of courage. It quite possibly also triggers subconscious responses in the recipient that cause them to focus more and for longer on your handshake than on your message. To butcher Nike's slogan, "Just don't do it!"

Displaying a nervous giggle: Just like a weak handshake, the nervous giggle, in the eyes and mind of your audience, turns you into a child. No one seriously does business with a child.

Over-using "I'm sorry": A 'killer' for undermining your authority, a phrase like, "I need your report on my desk by 5 o'clock, sorry" just knocks your professionalism, your communication and your career for six. You have no need to apologise if you are the boss or the client. There is a place for politeness in business, as there are for courtesy and humility. But in the shark-eat-shark world of nature and business, there is no room for the weak and mousy. Sorry to have to break that to you...

Standing passively: Crossed arms, crossed legs... they signal just one thingdetachment, as if you really don't want to be there, listening to the other person, but you have to. Passively standing kicks down the building bricks of trust, over time reducing your career reputation to rubble.

Avoiding eye contact: Whilst too much staring at someone can cause discomfort, so can too little. By not looking at your audience (of one of one thousand) in the eye, you come across as nervous and insincere. A reasonable period of eye contact is between 4 and 7 seconds at a time, per person, especially when you are talking to them.

Playing with your hands: Wringing your hands, or playing 'fig leaf' is a sure way of conveying insecurity about yourself or your message. And recently I was reminded by my Toastmasters club colleagues of a habit of mine that I need to breaktwisting my wedding ring around my finger when I present. My colleagues found themselves focusing more on my ring-twiddling than my message.

Speaking too softly: A habit that is a sure sign in the eyes of others, that you are not confident about yourself, your message or your authority to deliver it. You come across as near-invisible, weak and insubstantial, as well as make yourself difficult to be heard by those who are hard of hearing. And as I get older, my hearing is definately getting worsea legacy of spending years in front of PA stacks as a lighting manager for rock bands.

Using qualifying words: This is quite possibly one of the worst habits anyone could have. Absolutely nearly everyone qualifies their words, and most often the effect is to dilute the power and impact of your message. Seriously, using words such as "kind of", "sort of" and "maybe" make even the smartest of us appear unsure.

If you are unsure if you have any or all of these habits when you communicate in a business setting, or if you are unsure about how to rid yourself of them, please do not hesitate to contact me. I can either point you in the direction of your nearest Toastmasters public speaking club (a fantastic organisation geared specifically to help you become a powerful public speaker), or else I can offer alternative resources, including analysing your business communication performance and subsequently coaching you to greater heights.

How to Make Money From Blogging

Blogs are a great way to share facts, ideas and opinions directly between people, but also, they are a viable way to earn money. In fact, earning money with blogs is something just about anyone can do. Making money with blogs is completely dependent on your audience and you're ability to attract people to click on the advertisements. Blogs are simple to set up, and relatively easy to update. As many as 75,000 blogs are created every day - almost one per second!

If you are looking to start making money on the internet and you have a budget that is very small or zero, blogging is a great way to get started. You can set-up a free blog and join advertisement programs for free. The only cost involved in setting up a blog is your time.

Although there are many factors involved in making money with your blog, there are a few vital keys to remember when setting up, maintaining and promoting your blog in order to achieve success.

1. Your blog needs to have the right layout in order for your AdSense ads to be "clickable" by visitors. Choosing an advertisement's location, size and color is very important and is something you will need to constantly test and tweak to determine which formats produce the most clicks. It's amazing how one small change can produce monumental results. There are also many other ways to make money with your blog than with AdSense alone. You could promote affiliate products and implement contextual advertising such as Kontera.

2. Your blog will need lots and lots of traffic. This is really a no-brainer, yet it's the greatest challenge of any website owner. The encouraging reality is that there are more ways to generate traffic for your blog than ever before. This is due to the emergence of Web 2.0 sites like YouTube and social bookmarking sites. Many of these sites provide great sources for one-way links to your blog. Getting hundreds, even thousands of quality links is a must if you expect significant traffic to your blog. There are also many SEO tools on the market now such as directory and article submitters that will help you get thousands of backlinks to your blog quickly and save lots of valuable time.

3. Your blog will need to be updated frequently. You cannot expect return visitors if your blog is not a source of fresh information. You can use RSS feeds to provide your blog with relative information, however you will need to add personal posts as well at least once or twice per week. This will increase your blog's search engine rankings and also help brand you as an expert in your niche.

Blogging is a great way to share your thoughts and ideas online, but it's also a powerful money-making tool. Making money with blogs is fairly simple if you know what to do and if you're willing to invest the time and effort necessary to make it profitable.

How to Quickly Balance Your World

I remember a dark time when I tried to balance everything in my life and failed miserably. I was like a new circus ringmaster on opening day trying to shape and juggle my roles as a mother, wife and business owner. The stress and fears were lions eating me alive.

How could I balance everything? It seemed impossible. I resorted to researching how others did it by voraciously reading self-help books which screamed at me "my way is best." Instead of finding direction, I became even more frustrated because their advice was conflicting. My life suddenly seemed even more chaotic. I was now angry with myself for not being able to follow what these best-selling authors told me to do. I was also livid, because here I was trying to live "the balanced life" helping others through workshops I gave to companies on effective communication, and I was spiraling downhill. My body began reflecting back to me what I was going through. Gaining weight...dropping weight...then ballooning bigger than ever before.

One day during a meditation I remembered an anonymous quote I once read. "A balancing act is different from living in balance." This struck me. Living in balance is divine order, which is our natural state. In order to live a balanced life I needed to align myself with divine order which is always in balanced. Here is one thing I learned from my meditations on balance which worked for me and I know will help you too:

RECOGNIZE DIVINE ORDER

The way to live a balanced life is to start from the inside out. Recognize you are a spiritual being living in a perfectly balanced universe which is always under divine order. When I look at any chaos in the world, it can all be attributed to man. So with that in mind, I realized I only need to align myself with the divine order which is already operating in my world. The way I could do that was thinking not of chaos in my life, but of everything around me which was balanced.

I began contemplating the seasons, the stars, and the solar system, all operating in divine order and balance. I thought of flowers blooming in springtime. I thought of babies being born and how their tiny bodies would grow. Then my thoughts went deep inside of me. I marveled at the synchronicity of my own body functioning in perfect order. My blood circulates, the cells dividing and multiplying with precision. My organs, heart, liver, kidneys and lungs all synchronize in perfect harmony with one another. I thought of how my muscles contract and relax to help me rise out of the bed in the morning so that I could simply walk across the room. What a miracle. What perfect balance right inside of me. When I take a few moments to stop whatever I am doing to simply take deep breaths, I align myself quickly with the natural balance of life.

We spend too much time thinking of what is wrong with our lives, and what is not work. Is it any wonder we are attracting more of the same? Take a few minutes out of the day to time to think of harmony, beauty, peace and what is working in your life to find your perfect balance and inner peace.

Kabbalah and Lucky Eyes For a Better Life

You want to be successful in life? Itching to have a balanced lifestyle and want lady luck to be at your side all the time? Then if you want to have all these under your belt, then you might want consider delving into the truth about Kabbalah and equip yourself with Lucky Eyes while you're busy with your daily lifestyle.

Understanding Kabbalah

If you think that Kabbalah is some occultic belief, then think again. Kabbalah is one of the oldest religions in the planet and many have enjoyed the benefits of its teachings to lead a successful life under the law of God.

Kabbalah originated with the Jews. It is believed that there is only one God that all things under heaven and earth stem. God is not defined as a spirit, a soul, or a living being. Simply, God is God and governs all.

The teachings of Kabbalah that God created man with infinite possibilities. They have the potential to reach the peak of their success by following the positive virtues taught by the religion. If one closely follows its teachings, then they are on their way to success quick and easy.

But with every religion, there are also factors that can bring down a person's sojourn to success. The Evil Eye, as with any other religion, is a source of misfortune and chaos. The penetrating gaze filled with malice and hate can disturb the harmony of a man's mind, body, and soul -- shaping his or destiny down the path of failure. The only way to counter this is to wear lucky Eyes.

What Is Lucky Eyes?

Lucky Eyes is the total opposite of the Evil Eye. If the latter gives off negative energy to harm a person's destiny, then Lucky Eyes absorbs these evil emanations to protect the person wearing them.

These lucky charms are symbolized with an eye in the middle. They can be worn as a earring, necklace, bracelet, or a ring. Whatever their shape may be, or material used for its make, Lucky Eyes will absorb any negative energies going your way and make sure that only positive forces exists around you to keep you rooted on your path to success.

Wearing Lucky Eyes

We can never determine who is giving off the Evil Eye. It can be your boss, your work mates, or even your friend. This gives the Evil Eye the advantage over the unsuspecting victim -- polluting them with negative energies to bring body and spirit to an all time low.

Wearing Lucky Eyes wherever you go renders this advantage of the Evil Eye useless. You can stay protected during work or play when you're out of the safety of your own home. You can even see Hollywood superstars and millionaires wear them for protection.

Improve Your Home's Value by Building a Home Workshop

Many people have their workshop in an unused corner of their garage or the basement or some other out-of-the-way area. This can prove to be problematic, if the space is needed for other things or if there isn't enough room to really spread out one's projects or tools. Building a workshop can solve these problems and also add to your home's value if it is planned out properly.

There are a lot of plans and instructions out on the Internet and provided by hardware supply companies and there is really no limit to the kind of structure one can build, provided that the rules and laws governing one's property are adhered to. It's a good idea to get a copy of your area's zoning laws to find out if you need a permit to build the workshop you're planning on. Also, homes governed by a home or neighborhood association may be limited as to the kind of structures they can build and owners may need permission to build at all.

The plans you choose for your workshop should allow for the inclusion of electricity. Again, there are many resources on this, so I need not enumerate the how-to's of this. The important thing is that you ensure that the electricity running out to your shop is treated as seriously as that running inside your house - it must be grounded and up to code. When in doubt, get competent professionals to install and/or inspect it. Installations of heating/cooling appliances can further make your workshop more comfortable and valuable.

There are many alternative energy generators that are on the market right now. You have the option to augment your power with electricity generated from solar panels or wind turbines. The Internet can show you a great many alternative energy generators if you want to lessen your electricity bill and also take less power from the grid that you share with the people in your community.

Try to build to complement your home. If your home is a 1906 heritage house, try to avoid installing a fire-engine-red steel structure. Instead, go for a building that reflects your home's outward appearance and decor. Acquire paint and trim that matches your home, so that the home and shop present a unified appearance. This helps the shop blend in better with the property. If, for some reason you can't or won't match your home, paint your shop a neutral color or one that complements your home's color. Avoid an appearance that is completely different from your home's; it produces a jarring note that could be easily avoided.

When building, make sure you allow for plenty of storage space and organization. The cleaner your workshop can be kept, the easier it will be to use for you and the better it will look to a potential buyer. Shelves, drawers and hooks are all excellent built-in additions to consider. Also, consider where you are going to put your waste, how you plan to sort recyclables from non-recyclables and allow for the space that this will need.

A home workshop can, with attention to its placement and appearance, add to your home's value by placing a sought-after structure on the property. A home workshop is something that many people are looking for, which can make your home more attractive should you wish to sell in the future. Paying attention to what may attract or repel future buyers is worth it if you want your workshop to increase your home's selling power on the market.

Maintaining Gutters in Winter - San Diego Home Tips

For the homeowner, nearly nothing is as bad of a problem as is undertaking a foundation repair project. Foundation repair is costly. It is time consuming and it is messy work. More often than not, foundation repairs could have been mitigated if proper gutter maintenance was used. This is especially true during the winter months. Here is why it is important to maintain your gutters in winter.

When snow falls and lands on the roof, it accumulates. Depending on the area you live in, there up to a foot of snow, or more, can end up accumulating before temperatures climb above freezing. That roof snow acts as a huge reservoir of water. In addition, snow accumulates inside the gutters. When the weather gets above freezing the snow quickly converts into ice and water. That water needs a quick route of exit. If your gutters have not been cleaned or maintained or if an ice dam has been created, the water is going to flow over it and onto the ground surrounding the house. The ground around your house is already going to be saturated. Adding more water so near the foundation is inevitably going to create seepage. This seepage is what is, ultimately, going to wreck your foundation.

The first signs of infiltration will be in the form of moisture in the basement. This may be accompanied by the smell of mold. If the problem is not remedied, it will get worse. As the freeze/thaw cycle of winter and summer goes on, cracks and visible seepage into the basement may occur. Ultimately, these cracks become larger. This leads to a general weakening of structural integrity and potential structural failure.

All this could have been prevented if you had maintained your gutters in winter. Here are some tips to help you avoid this nightmare scenario. Make sure the downspouts drain at least 10 to 15 feet from the residence. Doing so will help to mitigate liquid infiltration, as it is channeled away at a safe distance.

Use long lasting materials. When people look at the cost of roof products, they need to look both at the price and its longevity. The longer the product lasts, the longer the period of time the cost can be amortized. In my experience, cheap products lead to more, sudden, failures than ones built with heavy duty ingredients.

If you do not like the idea of having to regularly maintain your downspout system, get a solution that uses covered gutters. You will not have to worry as much about debris and ice dams. They cost more. So, you will need to determine if the additional amount of money is worth the time savings.

Finally, make sure there is an adequate ground slope away from the residence. If there isn't, you will have a much higher risk of pooling and, ultimately basement infiltration. A cubic yard of dirt will vary from region to region of the United States. The cost of fixing the damage as a result of inaction will be a high multiple of this price.
