The best (free) business resources

Some things in life are free. Fortunately, anyone today can take advantage of plenty of free business resources and information, both on the Internet and off. The following list covers ten great free resources that can help your business. We also note where you can take advantage of premium resources at the sites for a small fee:

The Small Business Administration (www. sba.gov) is the granddaddy of help for your business needs. Established by the U.S. government in 1953, the SBA provides financial, technical, and management assistance to people who want to start, grow, and run businesses.

MarketingProfs (www.marketingprofs. com) is arguably the best marketing site on the Internet. Why? Because it isn’t an aggregator of everyone else’s marketing stuff; it generates new content from its network of marketing professors and professionals. Here you can find marketing articles, blogs, case studies, events, and online seminars. Much of the information on the site is accessible with no fee, but you may want to consider signing up for premium membership (about $49 a year) to gain access to in-depth articles and online seminars.

WSJ Entrepreneur (www.wsj.com/entrepreneur) provides a comprehensive set of online resources for businesses and the entrepreneur. You can discover and utilize great articles, business-plan tools, and maybe even your next business opportunity.

The Center for Business Planning (www.businessplans.org) provides free business-planning guidelines, which include articles and templates for such things as a cash-flow statement, mission statement, and financial ratios. You can also find checklists for segmenting your market and looking at pricing, as well as a strategic marketing plan.

Kauffman Foundation eVenturing (www.eventuring.org) is devoted to growing a business. We recommend that you check out the content under its Collections section, where you’ll find groupings of information on finance and accounting, people and HR, sales and marketing, products and services, operations, and the entrepreneur. In addition to the topics you can explore on the site and its blog, it sponsors a monthly e-newsletter that you can sign up for.

Mind Tools (www.mindtools.com) helps consumers learn 100 essential life, career, and management skills — free! Of course, the site also offers self-development courses and e-classes taught by experts — you’ll pay for these courses, but the tuition is reasonable.

SCORE (www.score.org), formerly known as the Service Corps of Retired Executives, bills itself as the “Counselors to America’s Small Business.” More than 10,500 volunteers — coming from the ranks of retired business owners, executives, and corporate leaders — answer questions, give advice, and share their wisdom and experience. SCORE has an online, 24/7 counseling service, and it has set up many offices nationwide for walk-in help.

U.S. Export Assistance Centers are located in more than 100 cities around the United States. (You can find them through the U.S.Department of Commerce at www.doc.gov.) They provide assistance to businesses that want to export goods and services to foreign countries. If you’ve never done business with a foreign country, it can be a daunting task. The counselors at the assistance centers are trained to hold your hand through the process.

The world is about change — often unexpected change. Change is as unavoidable as death and taxes.

Complete MBA For Dummies by Kathleen Allen Ph.D., Peter Economy

[recsspecs]

Although all these books claim to offer the latest and greatest in management theory and tools, the reality is that most innovative, state-of-the-art tools are merely elaborate makeovers or the repackaging of fundamental management theory. A rose by any other name is still a rose. How many different ways can you talk about change management or empowered work teams, for instance? To be fair, however, the proponents of these “new” theories and practices do echo a shared truth: The world has changed dramatically, and the way managers run businesses hasn’t always kept pace. - Complete MBA For Dummies by Kathleen Allen Ph.D., Peter Economy

What if God stays silent?

"Favoritism is such a slap in the face. It'd actually be better not to be loved at all. Receiving less love is so insulting. It makes you feel like a kid forever."

Wow.... This feels like something the writers just ripped out of my throat and the painted the scenes from the blood on their hands. How sibling favoritism affects the child is beyond just the support they get for their actions in life, it is also how they will always question their identity, whether they are lovable, and craving validation everywhere.

I know, my parents love me; they give me food and shelter, but they don't love me like they love my sister because they give her nutrition and home. My family of four will always be 3+1, as long as it equals to four, it will appear fine.

Modern governments seek to persuade us to behave well by means other than compulsion. Often, the carrot replaces the stick.

Raymond Wacks Law A Very Short Introduction

Remembering Geronimo Stilton

[recsspecs]

The law is rarely uncontroversial. While lawyers and politicians habitually venerate its merits, reformers bewail its inadequacies, and sceptics refute the law’s often self-righteous espousal of justice, liberty, and the rule of law. Few, however, would deny that, in most societies, law has become a significant instrument for progress and improvement in our social, political, moral, and economic life. Think of the transformation that legal rules have wrought in respect of numerous aspects of our lives that were once considered personal: the promotion of sexual and racial equality, safety at work and play, healthier food, candour in commerce, and a host of other admirable aspirations. Laws to protect human rights, the environment, and our personal security have mushroomed. Nothing seems beyond the reach of the long arm of the law. This boom in the law-making business renders it impractical both for citizens to become acquainted with its myriad rules, and for the authorities to enforce them.

Raymond Wacks Law A Very Short Introduction

[recsspecs]

To the layman, however, the law often seems a highly technical, bewildering mystery, with its antiquated and sometimes impenetrable jargon, obsolete procedures, and interminable stream of Byzantine statutes, subordinate legislation, and judgments of the courts. Lawyers tend to look backwards. The doctrine of precedent, hallmark of the common law, dictates that what has gone before is what now should be, thereby affording a measure of certainty and predictability in a precarious world.

The system of codified law that obtains in most of Europe, South America, and elsewhere is known as civil law, in contrast to the common law system that applies in England, former British colonies, the United States, and most of Canada.

How can I unveil this to you? My heart can find no peace Shattered in your memory, I adorn my world Tell me now, which way do I turn The roads have disappeared on me I feared this would happen Now the day hasn’t even dawned And my heart is flooded with your memories You’re my deepest longing When you’re not near My soul is in agony Stay close to me, my love Don’t leave me already You are my destiny Never go far from me When you asked, I gathered all the stars for you You need never fear my love You dwell within my heart You alone are my yearning Don’t you see, I’d die for you, why won’t you hear me? With each day, my longing for you grows Each day, your beauty leaves me more undone Tell me how to survive, my love Your presence enchants all who surround you Now that I’ve fallen for you, what am I to do? My love, can I come a little closer? Who should I turn to? How do they conceal their feelings, chatting and laughing as if unburdened? Hope has deserted me, leaving me empty We’re often trapped by others’ words without reason. I don’t deceive; your allure overwhelms me The songs I write are odes to you The connection of our hearts is not a fault of our hearts Our desire was simply to be together I have made it known to the world: you are the only one for me. When you come to me, happiness follows When you depart, a void engulfs me I yearn to stay with you, my love With a smile, I’ve assumed all obligations I’ve never doubted you When you were by my side, my heart soared across the skies Such was the connection of two hearts Our love speaks beyond words on paper You are my enchantment You alone are my yearning

My companion is like God My lover is like God Whether I love or worship Both are the same thing Why should I go to the temple My companion is God Why should I go to the mosque My companion is God I have dance in my feet I have poems in my breathes I sing love songs in each corner She is the lake of beauty I am old thirst I drank with eyes the water of that beauty I pass my life staring her If some other thought comes, I leave that at sudden I wore the perfume of love And now I have fragrance Now only she is smelt in me every moment

‘It is difficult to bear with women who talk like me, Sita. It becomes easier if I accept that I have made a mistake. Then there is atonement for every sin. If I argue that I have not made any mistake, they will take pity on me. They will take my side, seeing me as the victim of an unjust allegation. But if I say, “Right or wrong, it’s my business; what has it to do with you? Who gave you the right or authority to judge?”, then nobody will be able to tolerate it’.
