Could a Roth IRA be Better Than a 401(k)?
by: Terry Mitchell
Very few people whom I know are familiar with the benefits of the Roth IRA. It was named for the late Senator William Roth of Rhode Island, who proposed it. It is similar to a traditional IRA except contributions are never tax-deductible. Contributions to traditional IRAs are sometimes deductible or partially deductible, depending on your income and whether or not you have a retirement plan like a 401(k) at work. With Roth IRAs, individuals are limited to incomes of $95,000 ($150,000 for couples) to be eligible for full contribution amounts.
However, unlike the traditional IRA, you can withdraw your contributions from a Roth (read full article) |

Beating Business Burnout

5 Remedies for relief when the pressure's on
Victoria Nuttall is a graphic-arts consultant with skills that should have been appreciated. "I was working 50 to 55 hours a week, feeling like a real hero to the company because I was putting out work no one else could do at that time," she says. "They had me train people and expand the department, but never consulted me on new equipment purchases and procedures. Add to this a bad relationship with an operator I trained and management that didn't care if people trashed one another, and you get 'work hell.' " Nuttall burned out.
You've heard the story a thousand times. In fact, maybe you started you (read full article) |

Conquering Confidence Killers for Small Business Success
by: Peggie Arvidson-Dailey
"The way to develop self-confidence is to do the thing you fear". -- William Jennings Bryan
Whether you're generally a self-confident person, or someone continually plagued by self- doubt, you'll recognize some of these confidence killers if you:
Are overly dependent on the thoughts or opinions of others;
Avoid meeting new people because you're afraid you won't fit in, be liked, or be accepted;
Focus on unrealistic expectations ("I must do each job perfectly"; "If one person is unhappy then I have failed");
Have an 'all-or-nothing' attitude;
Pay heed to the internal and external nays (read full article) |

Branding and Internal Communication
by: Robert F. Abbott
In the I-HR newsletter, moderator Beth N. Carvin asked if the idea of branding could be used, effectively, to improve productivity and retention. This is an expanded version of my response to her question:
Yes, I think you can use the idea of branding as a tool for improving employee productivity and retention.
Let's approach it from the perspective of a manager communicating with his or her subordinates. If the manager sets out to build a positive reputation over time and over a series of messages, then we might say he or she is embarking on a branding exercise. It's an attempt to create the trust and goodwill necessary to h (read full article) |

How important is content to a successful website
by: Susan Prince
Content is the most important part of any website.
The Internet was created in the first place as an information source. If the content on your site does not provide the information needed by its users it will provide little in the way of value to your visitors who surf for information on many subjects. They require answers or solutions to their problems, needs, desires and wants. Provide the answers and they will return again and again.
A website is simply a way to communicate whatever message you want to get across. This message needs to answer visitor’s questions or satisfy their need for knowledge. To achieve th (read full article) |

Tax Reform, My Way
by: Terry Mitchell
We need real tax reform and we need it now. Previous attempts have been made at tax reform, but they have only provided band-aid solutions that have still left us with too many quirks, complication, and read tape. There are several things Congress could do to simply the tax system and benefit the taxpayers and federal budget at the same time.
First, I would institute a simple two-tiered tax on earnings and passive income (interest, dividends, capital gains, etc.) that are not in a tax-sheltered account. They would be treated equally and no distinction would be made between long-term and short-term capital gains. Individuals (whether married or not (read full article) |

Generating Publicity: Will The Media Be Interested In My Product/Business?
by: Todd Brabender
When it comes to launching a new business or product, some marketing consultants might say that EVERY product is appropriate for a publicity or media exposure campaign. That is true to a degree, but as a PR/publicity professional and former media person, I would qualify that statement by saying that although new products would benefit from a solid publicity campaign, not all businesses or products and their pitches will grab the attention of the media.
A number of strategically generated features or product mentions in magazines, newspapers and TV/radio/cable shows nationwide can lend strong (read full article) |

The Truth Behind Linear Selling: Why It Can Make Prospects Run The Other Way
by: Ari Galper
Sean works for a major telecom company.
During one of our coaching sessions, he told me, "I've been diligent about following the sales process that my company believes is required to make a sale -- but, for some strange reason, my prospects don't want to fit into that process.
What am I doing wrong?"
Sean's comment struck me because it spoke to years of traditional selling programs that promote linear selling -- moving prospects along from one step to another until they say yes -- as a "guarantee" of sales success.
But there's an inherent conflict here.
Linear selling says that you hav (read full article) |

How To Choose An Equipment Leasing Company
by: George A. Parker
Each year, thousands of U.S. companies face the challenge of finding attractive financing to acquire business equipment. Equipment leasing has become a preferred form of financing, accounting for more than 30% of business equipment acquisitions. Many companies approach the lease sourcing process seeking the lowest lease rate. While securing a low rate is a worthwhile goal in choosing a leasing arrangement, it alone is usually not a reliable standard for obtaining the best lease transaction or leasing experience.
To obtain attractive lease proposals and to avoid lease blunders, make sure you choose the right leasing compa (read full article) |

How To Prepare Yourself For The Challenges as a Freelance Translator
by: Inka-Maria Kunz
Some simple question – but suddenly not so simple when it comes to answering. What exactly is your vision? What services do you want to offer as a freelancer? Do you want to offer just translation or just interpreting or both? And if any of these apply, than what language combination, what field i.e. technical, legal, marketing, financial, and medical? Once you answered these questions, the interesting part starts, why should any of the potential customers out there choose your company for these services? Do you know the market extremely well, maybe are friends with the CEO of the prospective cli (read full article) |
