Homeowners make decisions every day. Often these decisions can adversely impact the cost of their homeowners insurance policy. As the economy continues to change, it is wise to shop for your insurance at least every two years. Often you'll find that your current insurance agent or insuring company are providing the best coverage for the right amount of money. Remember, too, that it's not always just the dollar to consider.

When You Fall, Get Back Up
My six-year-old grandson is a huge NASCAR fan, and can name most of the drivers and their numbers. As most kids his age do, he enjoys his make-believe world and lives there often. He becomes anyone he wants to be, any time he chooses. One day, he was - shall we say - in the moment, pretending to be the leader in a NASCAR race. Riding as fast as his little legs will take him, he suddenly found himself face down, kissing the sidewalk.

A Valuable Time Management Tool - The Ability to Say No
People often remark that they have trouble with time management. They don’t have enough time in the day. They are always running behind. They rarely meet deadlines. If only they could manage their time better. Saying one short little word – no - can be the most important time management skill you can develop. So why is it so hard to say? Possibly because when growing up we were told that it’s not nice to tell people no. And now, after all these years, we still feel guilty when we don’t comply with someone else’s wishes.

Avoiding Negative People on the Road to Success
Success can be, and probably is, something different to each one of us. But the road traveled to reach that success, whatever it is to you, will most likely be a long journey. This journey will have sharp curves,steep hills, narrow shoulders, deep ruts, many detours, and possibly even some dead ends. Some of these hazards will be people; unfortunately, they’ll often be co-workers, family members, and friends.

Starting a Business – Passion is the Foundation
When you decide to start your own business, there are many choices that must be made. First, you must decide what you want to do. That “what” has to be something that meets a need within you. You must have an interest in what you’re creating. If you don’t, it will be just a job. In that case, you might as well go work for someone else.

Home Inventory Service Industry Continues to Develop
There aren’t many industries that have been around for a couple decades and still be in – what would appear to be – its infancy. But the home inventory industry is one of those. In the fall of 2008, I published an article titled Home Inventory Service – A Growing Industry. It was true then, as I cited there were only about 20 known service providers in the United States in 2004 and by 2008 over 500 had been established. The numbers continue to grow.

Personal Property Inventory Services - A Mission to Educate
Why do people need a home inventory? That is a question that was posed often seven years ago when my husband and I started our personal property inventory business, and still asked of us today. Thus began our mission to educate anyone who would listen. Speaking engagements are one method to provide this information. We (my husband and I) jokingly state that we’ll speak for food! This is because most organizations – Kiwanis, Sertoma, Rotary, Lions and Exchange Clubs meet either during breakfast or lunch, and we’re invited eat before we speak.

You Still Need To Work
If you’re looking for a business where you don’t have to work, quit reading this article and keep searching. If you’re still reading, I will tell you I don’t know of such a thing as not needing to work at a business. You and I both know that you have to work – you have to do SOMETHING – to make a business successful. That being said, there are a variety of levels of effort, based on how you begin the business.

We all have the same amount of time in each day – 24 hours; no more and no less. Why is it, then, that some people can get so much more accomplished than others? It’s called Time Management. But it’s not really managing time; it’s managing the activities that take up your time.
