Most of you have probably heard about elevator speeches and probably have been taught about elevator speeches. I don't know if you've actually sat down and prepared one, and that's an important process here. I'm going to challenge all of you to consider doing that. Spend some time and develop a really good elevator speech. Over the next couple of years, as part of this Private Lending process, you're going to be talking with dozens, even hundreds, of people. You need to have some well thought out presentation. You do not have to memorize it. I certainly don't memorize mine per se and I don't deliver it word-for-word. That's not the way I am. I try to talk fairly casually. Use a Summary Format At the...

In many areas of the continent, private schools are a worthwhile, enticing alternative to the public education system. Parents in both the US and Canada have various reasons to be disenchanted with public education. Since many parents are used to attending schools based entirely on the area in which they live, they may not be sure how to investigate alternatives. That’s where a private school fair can help them. Our Kids Publications in Toronto organizes private school fairs in several different cities, including Vancouver, BC, just across the border from Seattle, Washington. These fairs are widely praised by parents. Parents surveyed from previous school fairs offered by Our Kids have offered...

It is extremely important to learn how to develop an advertising disclaimer to use in all of your marketing materials that will keep you clear of the federal and state SEC. I have provided you with two template disclosure statements that you can use. I am not sure these are absolutely necessary if you're doing private lending the right way - that is, you're providing information and are offering CDs, reports or educational materials. But it certainly does not hurt you at all by putting a disclosure in there. You are not going to lose any points here by doing this. Again, you may not absolutely have to do it, but you certainly are not going to be hurt by doing it. There is a short disclosure and a...

One of the keys to admission in today's competitive private schools is doing well on the standardized test. The SSAT, or the ISEE, are the two tests private schools use when considering admission. Because the majority of private school applicants are declined, it is essential that your child does well on the SSAT if you want them to attend private school. The Secondary School Admission Test, or SSAT, is primarily multiple-choice with: verbal and reading comprehension sections, math sections and an essay portion. Schools look at the average scores, and usually have a cut-off when considering admission. One thing that can make the exam difficult is that the SSAT is skill- based, not knowledge-based...

Simply put, PLR is a right that you obtain, usually by paying for it, to use a piece of content and sell it for 100% of the profit. PLR stands for "Private Label Rights." Many online marketers consider PLR to be their ultimate secret weapon in creating content fast and at minimum cost. PLR comes with rights (permissions) to use the product yourself freely and sell it for 100% of the profit. Most people think of PLR as eBooks, but these same rights can be granted for any product, but they are mostly digital products, such as eBooks, reports, articles, software, audio and video. They may come with sales letters, e-Covers, matching website headers... basically everything you need to set up a website...

Medical Indemnity Insurance (MI) is mandatory, and good practice, for every doctor working in English Speaking countries. WHO PROVIDES MI COVER? Every country has different arrangements for this, and in some countries like the USA, you should check the credit rating of your MI company carefully, as many of them are facing solvency issues. In Canada, medical indemnity is covered by a general pool, similar to self insurance needed by doctors before they start practicing and due to market regulations, these companies are far less likely to be insolvent than their US counterparts. To take the Australian example: The first level of cover is provided by the (public) hospitals, employers or practice, the...

An excerpt from my book "The Journey Home" - Autobiography of an American Swami ( Set like a magnificent jewel, in the heart of Florence sits the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. Completed in 1367, the enormous dome and historical carvings attract throngs of tourists. While the bustling crowds snapped photographs on the steps outside, I sat alone in the pews of the inner sanctuary. I had visited churches throughout Europe and always felt at home in them. Now , in the presence of the holy altar, I prayed for spiritual direction. A stream of the faithful knelt down to pray as well. Aristocrats and peasants alike fell to their knees in appeal before the Almighty. I wondered what they were praying...

Now let us see where you can find the best music program to keep the music interest of a teenager alive and strong. Then we shall compare the advantages of hiring a private music teacher with those of having many teachers at a music school. To have an influence on your teenager as parents, first understand that this is the age when kids are fascinated by the outside world and they are more influenced by their friends than by you. The right way in this case is gently directing and guiding them. You need to make full use of the child's new environment, right now! If your child's friends or classmates are learning music as well, this is a big plus. Being in the company of fellow learners is great! But...

Ancient Hindu literature has been considered by historians and critics as being some of the finest works to be produced doing that period anywhere in the world. These epics are usually thousands of pages long and have elaborate storylines and contain underlying themes of morality, heroism and ethics. Among them the Mahabharata receives special reverence among Hindus as it is considered to be a narrative of the religion's history. Written in Sanskrit more than 2,500 years ago, this epic work of literature is said to have been written Vyas who is considered to be one of the seven immortal avatars of Vishnu. Therefore it is no wonder that his cenotaph, the Vyas Chhatri in Jaisalmer, is a place that is...

<!-- @page { margin: 0.79in } P { margin-bottom: 0.08in } -->   My Dad and I really enjoyed going fishing together. On one of our trips, he looked at me and said, "John, God is as real to me as you are." That statement has stayed with me these forty years since he made it.   SPIRITUAL REALITY He once told the story of an elderly Pastor who went to a mountain cabin to spend forty days fasting and praying. Before they left, the two men who had driven the pastor to the cabin, made arrangements to return in forty days to pick him up. Forty days later, the two men were returning to pick up their friend. Because they had no idea in what kind of shape they might find him, they had not only food...

As I sat on my back porch today and watched it rain, I began to notice the rain as it bounced off of the leaves of the tree in my back yard. I noticed that as the rain fell, it helped the leaves on the tree to fall as it is now late autumn. I began to think about the importance of rain and water and realized that everything in life that we experience has a lesson, a purpose. Something to teach us that we previously didn't know or truly understand. I began to think about how the rain was actually helping the tree to shed it's leaves and prepare for the winter months. Trees lose their leaves so that they are able to sustain themselves and resources for the winter. The rain was helping that tree to do...

For some unknown reason, children find fire truck pedal cars to be very exciting.  Maybe its their bright red color or their ringing sirens.  Or maybe its the excitement that comes with seeing them racing down the street on a rescue mission.  Whatever the reason, fire truck pedal cars are fun and are very stimulating for children. Fire truck pedal cars are very beneficial to our children both physically and developmentally. One of the best ways to increase gross motor skills is by good old physical exercise. Gross motor skills develop when the large muscle groups are worked. Pedaling a fabulous looking fire truck is a great workout for leg muscles. Your kids will pedal like crazy to get their...

Here's what you may need to know about going back to college later in life. The requirements for admissions must be met.

Is the education offered at an online school as valuable as a traditional, campus-based education? Yes, provided the online school is accredited. Accredited online schools and accredited distance learning programs (accreditation being the key to quality education) provide the same standard education and tools that allow for gaining desired employment and career advancement as any traditional classroom education. Online schools are designed for studying and earning college and university degrees through distance learning venues for the convenience of students, who may have little time or opportunity to attend classes in traditional settings. The goal of an online course is to give busy students an...

When we consign our children to public schools, we feel satisfied that they are receiving 'quality education'. But, are we really getting our money are worth? More importantly, are the children gaining anything from this kind of a learning procedure? Socialization is hailed as one of the greatest advantage of schools. This is the place where the child picks up the rudiments of social skills that help him survive. But in truth, a regular school-going child can interact only with his peers. He may bully younger children or fear older ones. He does not know how to behave with an adult. This is because in the school environment he interacts only with his peers. A homeschooling environment brings in a...

What does it mean when someone says a person has the school uniform advantage? A couple of explanations come to mind. The first one is that it refers to the student having an easier time at school if he is required to wear the same clothing as everyone else at his school. In this respect, when all are the same, a child is less apt to be singled out for ridicule by the rest of his peers - as it levels the playing field, so to speak. And, this explanation would be correct. However, a deeper one is that a person who attends private school - and gets that top of the line education - is better prepared for life, overall. Moreover, he will have more opportunities open to him, because of his training...

Widely acknowledged as the equivalent of a high school diploma, GED or the General Educational Development exam, can help you progress in your education as well as your profession. The tests of General Educational Development are a substitute for attaining a High School Diploma. GED tests have been created by the American Council on Education, which has its headquarters in Washington, DC, and is governed in partnership with all the jurisdictional departments of education. GED scores open new doors GED was first developed in the United States shortly after World War II ended. Its original purpose was to form a link to college admission for those students who had not graduated from their high school...

It is never too late to complete your education. Yes, it gets a little tough to attend school at the time your own child has started going to one. Many people who wish to attend high school fear rejection and thus avoid the importance and benefits of graduating. With the competition rising, you need a graduating certificate to survive, to hold on to your job, or get promotions. If you know you are going to benefit after attending high school, it is better to ignore what others think or say. To improve your own career prospects and salaries, you need to be a high school graduate. Firstly, stop making excuses for not attending high school. Telling yourself that you hardly find the time in your busy...

We are in a day and age where the best methodologies of investing in a safe, secure and highest yielding arena seems to be as available as an ice cold drink in the center of the Sahara. While there is a cause for alarm, do not despair. Those who truly understand the inevitable opportunities, regardless of the markets and economy of whole, understand the importance of capital influx in this otherwise lackluster financial environment. All that is required is the appropriate knowledge. When a corporation decides to generate additional capital, outside of the daily meanderings of business, those 'in the know' who take an inclusive survey of their financial affairs begin the process of further growth by...

Over 39 million Americans don’t have a high school diploma, and trying to find a good job or better education can be nearly impossible without getting over the high school hurdle first. For many people, the GED is the best solution. But they are left with the question: Is the GED too hard? Can I pass? The benefits of earning a GED are clear. Adults with a GED credential earn on average $350,000 more during their lifetime than those who never got a high school degree. For people who use the GED as a stepping stone to higher education at a college, university, trade, or technical school, that amount could rise steeply... and they could earn up to a million dollars more throughout their career. The...

The reality is: today's economy is still difficult. The majority of us do what we are able to just to pay all the bills and still eat. So where does that leave a deserving undergrad student, who simply doesn't have the capital to attend a excellent school and broaden his/her education? Odds are, the person will either make a decision not to attend, and just start working right away, or they will go into major debt with student loans. Many people don't know that there are college loans for living expenses available. Scholarships for graduate school are not that hard to find if you know where to look. It may seem like a daunting task to apply for financial aid and look for all types of different...

Teenage Turmoil “I dress the part,” Woodward went on to say, “the way we [teenagers] dress is a costume for that role we are playing…we could be the bad boy, the good girl, the nerd, or the social outcast who dresses like a rocker.” Kurt is seen strutting around campus with a single folder, a Les Paul strapped to his back, a pencil behind his ear, and a paperback book folded in his back pocket—he plays the role of the misunderstood outcast who lives for his music, but it goes without saying that he is an intelligent individual, as the few passers-by view that the book he carries along is actually Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka. Kurt is just one of the majorities of teenagers who has...

What is a Private Placement? Private placements can take different shapes and sizes. They are commonly used to place equity, equity-linked, and debt securities with a pool of qualified investors. If done properly, issuers are afforded an exemption from most registration and reporting requirements, either under Section 3(a)(11), the so-called intrastate offering exemption, Section 4(2), an exemption available for transactions not involving a public offering, and Regulation D of the United States Securities Act. Since Regulation D Offerings are by far the most popular and enable the structuring of a wide cross section of equity, equity-linked, and debt placements, we will focus on this particular...
