This is the seventh article in a series of eight articles about how to build a profitable portfolio of tax lien certificates or tax deeds.

Spiral Binders
Spiral Binders are known for durability. They are most widely used in blank notebooks. Spiral notebooks prove to be quite handy when you need to take quick notes. Spiral Binders are basic constructions of loose-leaf paper bound by a spring-like wire that runs through the holes along the sides of the pages. These wires could be made of either plastic or metal.Spiral binding is a great way to present documents in a long-lasting and attention-getting way. They are ideal for intensive use and perfect for all environments. They are designed in such a manner that they are able to provide the highest standards of quality for all types of mid-volume bi

Is your time anything but your own? Working with leaders and corporate executives for over two decades has helped me realize how valuable time, our life, can be and how quickly time can slip by us.

Remember when you had time for yourself? Often your calendar fills up so quickly that you don’t even have time to think about what is most important and plan out how you will spend your precious time. Addictions to busyness and technology are not healthy. Too often I hear executives say, “What I really want is peace.” Bouncing from here to there like a pinball can make you feel important and out of control.

Here are some simple ways to think about time – and how you can take control of your life. Begin to play an offensive game of life by deciding how you want to spend your time. Highlight suggestions below that resonate with you, and determine what you want to do. If you expect to see a change you must start a new practice.

1. Speak your Truth and Make Conscious Decisions with Your Time

a. Say “No” when you mean “No” and let go of energy draining activities, (i.e. activities you dread doing.)

b. Say “Yes” when you mean “Yes” and increase energizing activities, (i.e. activities you enjoy doing.)

c. Match your actions with your values.

2. Simplify Your Life

a. Choose a time to plan before your workweek begins. (If I don’t plan before I arrive at my office I become so distracted by the work to be done I lose sight of what is most important. Plan outside the office – it can be easier to stay focused this way.)

b. Make a list of 5-6 important things you plan to do the following week (I have to limit this to 5-6 because I could easily come up with 20 and they will all seem important if I don’t take the time to prioritize and reduce.)

c. Plan each day’s activities and ask yourself, “What is the most important thing I could do today to give me the greatest sense of satisfaction and move me closer to my goals.” Do 1 important item each day first. (It’s simple, yet very profound.)

d. Delegate. Determine the value of your time at work (i.e. hourly wage or compensation) and delegate activities that do not require your expertise and could better be accomplished by an assistant thereby freeing your time for more valuable revenue generating projects. (Time consuming tasks will drain your energy and steel mind space for creative thinking.)

Simplify Your Job: Get Back to the Basics
In any job, as time goes on, it can feel like you are being pulled from every direction. You are doing the best you can and seems like it is still not enough. It’s easy to feel like you are falling behind and will never catch up. And if you do catch up, there will be no keeping up, let alone make time available to truly excel.It is easy to get overwhelmed with things big and small, lose perspective on what’s important and let the proverbial straw break your back. After the 20th email, the

Using SAP to Automate The Accounting Function
While ERP software is generally thought of as an enterprise wide application, one overlooked use of this type of software is to provide a specific solution for a specific business function. In this article I will explain how SAP software (which is usually implemented enterprise wide) can be used to automate your company's accounting function.Over the years Accounting has become more sophisticated. It's no longer a question of 'debit the receiver and credit giver'. This increase in complexity is reflected in the difficulty many companies have in automating their Accounting function. Fortunately, software packages such as SAP can assist.<

5 Hot Spots to Tweak for Higher Conversion Rates
All successful marketers know the sale comes from the words or the copy. While the traditional definition of copy is salesmanship in print I actually take a broader approach. Copy is used in ALL your promotional sales and marketing material. That means any place there are words about your business there is copy. So it’s EVERYWHERE. Some people will drop loads of cash on website design or graphics, but balk at learning the one skill that’s a veritable silver bullet when it comes to boosting income fast – tweaking the copy. Don’t make that mistake. Your business is too important.Here are 5 targeted hot spots any entrepreneur can tweak co

Brand Love, Part 2
Last issue, I talked about increasing your Brand Love-- meaning to increase the affection that prospects and customers feel toward your business.Why?Because increasing "affection" will build relationships. Those relationships, if made strong enough by increased Brand Love, build a bridge for prospects to become customers. To some, that bridge might be made of rope, swaying in the breeze, complete with wooden planks. To others, it will be a mighty stone structure. It all depends on how well you connect with each prospect.It also means putting more cement on the bond with the customers you already have. Locking customers in, tighter

5. Be present in each moment

a. Be mindful in everything you do, (i.e. planning, meeting, writing, speaking, listening.)

b. Be aware of your compulsion to hurry – slow down!

c. Pay attention to your breath. Is it short and shallow, or deep and relaxed?

d. Practice taking conscious control of your breath as well as your thoughts.

e. If you can’t find peace in the present moment you won’t experience peace when the future becomes the present.

f. Be peace. Move with grace and ease.

6. Manage technology.

a. Turn off and remove technology from your body during your contemplation practice, or find a place where these things do not exist (i.e. Nature).

b. Take a silent walk, gaze out over a lake, listen to the river flow, look out the window, walk the hallways and say hello to people calling them by name. Leaders especially – take note! A simple acknowledgement is equivalent to giving a memorable gift to another human being.

c. Limit email time and check email twice a day. (I often set a timer for email and organizing. Knowing I only have limited time to complete the task helps me stay focused. It’s also fun to try and beat the clock.)

7. Imagine

a. Leaders take time to reflect, dream and create.

Confession: I am continually developing discipline in my life. I have found that the best place to start is exactly where I am by simply naming it. For example, years ago I realized that my desk appears clean and organized about once a month. Does it work for me? It seemed to be working fine. I am a “once a monther.” I named it, and let it go. The perfectionist was off the hook. Naming “what is” helped me accept reality. Now I can pat myself on the back when I find it organized more often.

Tip: Name your current situation. Accept your behavior for what it is and ask yourself, “Is this working for me?” If it is working for you, let it be. If it is not working, develop a new habit by practicing regularly. Choose an item from above and begin a new practice, or try something else.

Take time for yourself now because now is all you have. Focus on that which is most important to you. You are a unique, precious and powerful being. Celebrate all the ways you contribute to the world.

Business process outsourcing (BPO) is a broad term referring to outsourcing in all fields. A BPO differentiates itself by either putting in new technology or applying existing technology in a new way to improve a process. Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) is the delegation of one or more IT-intensive business processes to an external provider that in turn owns, administers and manages the selected process based on defined and measurable performance criteria. Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) is one of the fastest growing segments of the Information Technology Enabled Services (ITES) industry.

It's a fact that smaller companies, by need and design, are more innovative, more flexible, more decisive, and faster to move than their larger brethren who are entrenched in operational processes and corporate procedures. Small companies are typically not led by career executives for whom every decision must be predicated by hours of meetings and mounds of documentation. Most small companies are led by their founders; men and women who were cut from an entrepreneurial cloth that has yet to fade. It is when a company grows to the point that the founder steps aside to make way for professional managers that the company loses its innovative nature and entrepreneurial flair.

Employment service is a vital part of any business. Companies do business with the help of human resources and technologies.
