			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.cotroafs.com/2012/05/bar-graphs-and-presentations/business-graphs/" rel="attachment wp-att-585"><img class="size-medium wp-image-585 alignleft" title="Business Graphs" src="http://www.cotroafs.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Business-Graphs-300x225.jpg" alt="Business Graphs" width="300" height="225" /></a>Let’s make business reporting simple again. In the age of information, many of us are experiencing information overload.  There is such a thing as gathering and presenting too much data, and the business world struggles to present information in a rich, powerful, and stimulating manner without crossing the information overload threshold.  Remember when you were young and just conquering the skill of reading.  Sure reading was fun, and our minds processed a lot of information from the words that we read, but didn’t the illustrations in the books have a more lasting affect?  The old saying reminds us a picture is worth a thousands words. We can use words to describe a situation, but a picture really encapsulates the ideas we are trying to get across.</p>
<p>We can apply this lesson to the business world.  When presenting information to a conference room full of business professionals we are eager to first obtain, and then retain their attention.  This can be achieved through pictures.  Now, I am not suggesting that you take your doodling and add it to your presentation, but what I am sbar graphs and bar charts in your presentation.  Business graphs are an essential tool to good presentations.</p>
<p>Various types of business graphs, such as bar charts and bar graphs can offer a simple, but meaningful representation of the information you are trying to relay to your audience.  Bar graphs can leave a more lasting impression in the minds of your audience members than a slide offering a comparison of quantified data. For instance, when you see a bar chart, what jumps out at you first?  For most people the tallest bar is the bar that is noticed first.  You might also notice the shortest bar rather quickly as it stands out as well.  In all likelihood, as a presenter you are hoping the eyes of your audience members will gravitate to the extreme ends of the spectrum, either the tall bar or the short bar on the bar chart. Now that you have captured the audiences’ attention and directed it towards the information you wanted to discuss, you are free to continue with your presentation.</p>
<p>Or perhaps you want to use your bar graphs in another manner.  Rather than emphasize really high sales or really low variable costs, you wish to show an increasing sales trend.  In this scenario, your bar chart would represent your monthly sales across a certain time period.  Upon presenting the bar chart, it would be clear to the audience that sales had increased substantially each month from January to August.  Again, by using bar graphs you have painlessly grabbed the attention of the audience, directed it toward the topic you wanted to discuss and now you can make the points that are important to you.</p>
<p>When using business graphs in your presentation be sure to keep a few things in mind.  Label the bar chart clearly so the audience doesn’t spend all its time trying to figure out what the bars represent.  Make your bar charts vibrant – use strong colors to make bars of interest standout and soft subdued colors to make the other bars less conspicuous.  Keep the information represented by the bar graphs as relevant as possible.  Just because you have a beautiful bar chart doesn’t mean it should be used in your presentation. If you have created bar charts that will enhance your presentation then incorporate them into the presentation, otherwise leave them alone.  Most importantly, be creative with your visualizations and have fun.  Your audience will enjoy your presentation more and come away having learned everything you hoped they would thanks to your great business graphs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.cotroafs.com/2012/05/avoid-sticker-shock-when-buying-ink-cartridges/laser-printer/" rel="attachment wp-att-573"><img class="size-medium wp-image-573 alignleft" title="Laser Printer" src="http://www.cotroafs.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Laser-Printer-300x224.jpg" alt="Laser Printer" width="300" height="224" /></a>Over the past year, I&#8217;ve had the dubious pleasure of buying two different printers: a black-and-white laser printer and a dual-purpose copier and color inkjet printer. My laser printer gets a good workout on a daily basis, while I usually reserve my color inkjet printer for photos.</p>
<p>Although both printers are well made and carry brand names (HP and Brother), they were incredibly inexpensive. In fact, one of the primary reasons I bought both was because of their bargain prices. Imagine my chagrin, then, when I had to replace the toner cartridges in my laser and the ink cartridges in my inkjet, and discovered that each cartridge cost about half of what I paid for the printer.</p>
<p>I quickly &#8211; and correctly &#8211; surmised that printer manufacturers sell printers at or below the cost of making them, and generate profits from the sale of original equipment manufacturer (OEM) ink cartridges. With dire warnings of possible damage to the printer or voiding the printer warranty, the manufacturers insist that consumers buy only OEM printer cartridges. I resented being gouged by their inflated prices, and so did some of my own research about OEM print cartridges and alternatives. Here&#8217;s what I discovered:</p>
<p>Option One: Compatible Ink Cartridges</p>
<p>Contrary to popular belief, compatible ink cartridges are not recycled. Rather, they are brand new, generic versions of OEM cartridges. They have all of the quality and reliability of OEM cartridges, but cost only a fraction of the price.</p>
<p>Option Two: Remanufactured Print Cartridges</p>
<p>As the name implies, remanufactured ink cartridges are, indeed, recycled. However, the old cartridges aren&#8217;t simply refilled. Rather, they are disassembled, inspected, cleaned, reassembled, filled with ink, and individually print tested to meet or surpass the specifications associated with OEM ink cartridges.</p>
<p>Cost Savings</p>
<p>I was astounded when I saw the price differences between OEM, compatible, and remanufactured ink cartridges. For example, one black and one colour ink cartridge for an HP DeskJet 920C might cost £50.45 for the OEM cartridges, but only £16.95 for remanufactured cartridges. A pack of four ink cartridges (black, cyan, magenta, and yellow) for the Brother DCP117C might cost £31.80 for OEM, but only £8.95 for the compatible version. Over the lifetime of a printer, those kinds of savings really add up!</p>
<p>Cartridge Life</p>
<p>Typically, remanufactured ink cartridges have a shorter &#8220;shelf life&#8221; than OEM or compatible cartridges. A remanufactured cartridge will be good for about six months, whereas a compatible cartridge is vacuum-sealed and will be viable for years.</p>
<p>Suppliers</p>
<p>I also discovered that it&#8217;s important to purchase compatible and remanufactured ink cartridges from a reputable dealer. When shopping online, look for a supplier that uses top-quality ink, has been in business several years, offers free UK delivery, and doesn&#8217;t require a minimum order.</p>

<p>Legal changes in recent years have made it more and more difficult to avoid legal tangles with prospective, existing, and former employees.  Consider, for example the caution you must exercise with regard to employee relations as a result of sexual harassment litigation.  What about the way you treat your older employees as a result of The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) to avoid age discrimination lawsuit, or the way you accommodate disabled employees because of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA)?</p>
<p>In addition to these federal laws, there may be local or state laws with which an employer must comply.  Each of these laws must also be taken into consideration when promoting, demoting, or transferring employees to other departments.</p>
<p>Always consult with our HR Department before taking employment action.  The HR Fact Finder recommends that you protect your company from costly legal battles by avoiding impulsive hiring, termination, transfers, promotions, etc.  A company whose decisions in these areas are carefully considered should be able to avoid most legal tangles involved in discrimination lawsuits.</p>
<p>A Case In Point:<br />
A recent “Corporate Downsizing” in a large firm resulted in the decision to transfer 5 women (including one female manager with over 12 years of tenure) to another department and offer them reduced compensation.  The female manager was to be replaced by a male with less experience.  All five of the women hired attorneys, because in spite of the fact that this was probably a well-intentioned attempt to make the department more efficient, the move looked like it may have been prompted by an act of discrimination.</p>

Don&#8217;t get me wrong, it happens  to men too; it just really frustrates me that women who want nothing more than to operate a home-based business can be taken advantage of so easily and that those pushing the business scams don&#8217;t care about their ethics, about busting your budget, or  diminishing your<br />
self-confidence.</p>
<p>If you want to find a business opportunity that is legitimate, you must be cautious in reviewing opportunities and make sure that you find a business that&#8217;s right for you. There is a general rule of thumb when trying to find a business possibility that will enable you to work-from-home while generating a significant income. That is, if an offer sounds too good to be true, most likely it is. Most times you will find a business offer that is presented in an inflated manner to be either a scam,  or an incredibly exaggerated representation of the opportunity the business venture actually affords you.</p>
<p>There are some legitimate business opportunity packages out there, but honestly, they are few and far between. In most cases, you are better off crafting your very own business opportunity rather than trying to find a business opportunity that is prepackaged, turnkey and ready to go. A turnkey business opportunity is one that provides you everything you need to get started in business in a start-up package for a flat start-up fee, or at least claims to. Some of them have ongoing membership fees as well.</p>
<p>Of course, there are some companies that offer true turn-key opportunities like distributorships or pyramid plans where you sell their products for them, usually through party plans, and recruit other representatives for a percentage of fees. You may find a business like this appealing because it is a package deal that is easy to start-up and generally has good support through the company and an up-line.</p>
<p>The legitimate businesses of this nature are well-known &#8211; Avon®, Home Interiors®, Herbalife®, Tupperware®, and Mary Kay®, for instance. You really can make money in these types of  businesses while maintaining control over your own work schedule if you  are willing to give it your all. However, some people just aren&#8217;t outgoing enough to make a distributorship business work because they don&#8217;t have the personality for direct sales and recruiting.</p>
<p>Sometimes, rather than trying to find a business that is turnkey, it is best just to craft your very own business idea, business concept and business plan, and to strike out on your own to transform your entrepreneurial dreams into reality. Here are some simple questions that will help to aim you in the right direction for developing your very own business ideas:</p>
<p>1. What are you passionate about?</p>
<p>If you are going to spend a large amount of your time operating your business, doesn&#8217;t it make sense to find a business idea that incorporates something you enjoy? Brainstorming for  ideas based on your personal interests is a great start to launching,  owning and operating a satisfying business.</p>
<p>2. What are your talents or gifts?</p>
<p>If you can find a business idea that uses talents, gifts, knowledge or skill that you already have, it will be much easier for you to get your business started quickly, and to operate it efficiently.</p>
<p>3. What are you interested in that is new and exciting to you?</p>
<p>Everyone has unexplored interests. If there is something that you are interested in learning more about or activities you would like to engage in, these interests can be great to pursue as business ideas. Search your heart and you are sure to find a business idea that will be just perfect for you.</p>
<p>4. Of all the potential business ideas you have generated, which one is most likely to be the best business opportunity?</p>
<p>To answer this question, you need to do your market research. Evaluate the competition, find a marketing niche, and determine whether or not you can make money with the ideas that you have. By following these simple steps in generating your very own, unique business ideas, you will definitely find a business opportunity that will be both fulfilling and profitable.</p>

As with any new business, a home based business can have unforeseen expenses and problems. There&#8217;s also usually a waiting period of at least a year before profits can be realized. But with a turn key, automated home based business, many of these hassles can be eliminated. You can make money from home without the initial hassles of running a business. Let&#8217;s see how a turn key business works to your advantage.</p>
<p>Eliminate Many Business Start-Up Costs</p>
<p>Most new home based businesses will require certain start-up costs. These may include a new computer and computer desk, a printer, supplies, a fax machine, employee costs, consulting or accounting fees, a business phone, and printing costs for letterhead, envelopes, and business cards. With an online home business, you&#8217;ll incur fees for new website design along with your domain name and hosting fees, promotion, and order processing expenses. These can add up in a hurry and are the main reason many new home based business owners don&#8217;t make it.</p>
<p>Why a Turn Key, Automated Home Based Business?</p>
<p>A turn key home business helps you eliminate many of these start-up costs and some of the hassles while realizing your home business dream. You&#8217;ll still have some responsibilities, of course, but nowhere near as many. Why? A turn key home business is a ready-made business that has already been tested and proven time and time again for your benefit. By the time you join the opportunity, the company has likely already tested to see what works&#8230; and what brings sales!</p>
<p>You can enter a turn key, automated home based business with the backing of highly trained professionals who know how to guide you every step of the way. This eliminates part of the waiting and testing period for new business start-ups. You can make money from home in less amount of time while leaving the legwork to the experts.</p>
<p>Benefits of the Turn Key Home Business</p>
<p>There are many benefits of joining a turn key, automated business opportunity. First, you&#8217;ll be able to avoid the hassles and many start-up costs of a new business. Turn key businesses usually provide a website for you, which will eliminate high web design costs. You may be required to pay a fee to receive the website and services, but much time will be saved because your website will be ready to sell. The website presentation has already been tested to bring results. Also, customer service can be a huge benefit. The company will take care of sales for you. Trained professionals will take the phone calls and answer questions. They will close the sale for you so you won&#8217;t have to worry about working one-on-one with customers.</p>
<p>Having a turn key website also eliminates many office expenses. You may still want to get business cards and promotional items, but you can eliminate phone expenses and other supplies because you won&#8217;t need them for online promotions. Your main function will be network marketing through online promotion, so you can earn a healthy residual income based on your promotional efforts. The company does the selling for you once you introduce new people to your website.</p>
<p>As with many MLM opportunities, the turn key, automated home based business uses an automated system that works around the clock selling the ideas or products available, even while you sleep. Your focus can be on promotion, not everyday tasks such as answering phones, mailing correspondence, and updating your website.</p>
<p>So if you&#8217;re worried about the hassles of starting a business, then a turn key, automated home based business may be just the right choice for you to realize wealth from home.</p>
