In the early 80s I had the opportunity to work for a sumer in Washington DC. I was 21 years old and although I had moved out of home I had never been so far away from home and for such a length of time! I had a three month contract as a trainee manager in a small, exclusive hotel two blocks from The White House.
I was met at Dulles International Airport by a friend of the man Read the rest of this entry »
Just over a year ago President Barack Obama took over at the Oval Office to acclaim and hysterical scenes both at home in the USA and abroad. His election seemed to offer a real change, and hope that the world scene was going to change in a dramatic and positive fashion.
All new Presidents, just like new Prime Ministers in the United Kingdom, can expect a honeymoon period where their popularity will remain high and their decisions will remain unquestioned. Read the rest of this entry »
Call me old-fashioned, but I don’t think the loss of even more jobs in Britain really sounds like a very good move. Surely, a company as large as Cadbury has learned to care for its workers; after all, it is the workforce that keeps everything running so smoothly. Cadbury’s chocolate is world famous for its high quality. So why do they need to sell out to Kraft?
Well, it will come as no surprise to you that it is all Read the rest of this entry »
When you read a post like, ‘The Frighteners’ it is a bit of a worry… Here in the Western world, we think that we are better than a lot of other parts of the planet. In fact, this could be no further from the truth. Just because Britain and America have a rather slick and professional image it does not cover up inexcusable behaviour. We are just as bad as any other country; and often worse.
These sorts of Read the rest of this entry »
It is things like this that make me feel old! I cannot believe that it is almost twenty-five years since Oprah Winfrey first graced our television screens.
I am not (and never have been) a big fan of chat shows. They are the sort of programme that I would never bother sitting down to watch, but saying this I was still sad to hear about Oprah calling it a day.
When her show first began in 1986, I remember thinking Read the rest of this entry »
Is it just me or is the world going totally insane? According to this post, it has now been proven that if children eat too many sweets then they will grow up to become violent thugs.
Obviously I do not think that kids should stuff their faces with masses of confectionary. Everyone with an ounce of common sense knows that we should all live on a balanced diet. However, most kids love to eat sweets and I find it Read the rest of this entry »
Making a 7 figure income working from home has never been easier as with affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing allows you to make money by promoting other people’s products. Isn’t that something? You don’t even have to own the products. You simply sign up to be an affiliate and receive yourself a nifty little affiliate link which you then promote all over the Internet. Every time someone clicks on your link and makes a purchase, you make a commission.
There are Read the rest of this entry »
Email marketing is not as difficult as people might think it is. It is actually one fundamental step in building a successful business. Whether you choose to make an income through affiliate marketing, MLM or a home based business, building an email list full of responsive prospects is the key to your success. So how do you do that?
You do that through capture forms and incentives. A capture form is nothing more than an enticing squeeze page or mini Read the rest of this entry »
To your rock of ages, a-typical American, it’s close to impossible to explain why this is of such paramount importance to the country, and why it’s such an issue with those who have chosen to understand it, and why it’s important to not just the U.S..
Bluntly put, most Americans just do not want to do the jobs that immigrants do willingly. Why is this? Well, it’s a combination of history and power. They have the Soft skills training to Read the rest of this entry »
Daily we’re quoted by government some number or other, telling us exactly what the government wants us to think regarding the current state of employment in the country today. However, if you recall, it was a little known or remembered accountant, manipulating figures and numbers, that caught Al Capone, not one of the hot shot detectives.
So bluntly said, you CAN manipulate figures to show trends and facts the way that you want them to be viewed. Doesn’t take any Read the rest of this entry »
