    Trucking Owner-Operator Pitfalls
    There are a lot of good trucking companies out there. I have known company drivers for US Express, USA Truck, Schneider Trucking, Werner Trucking, and LTL trucking companies like Yellow Freight and Roadway Express that were really knocking back the cash. I personally have worked for Continental Express and Digby Truck Lines and did quite well. But for some drivers, working for someone else just isn't enough...The problem for some is that the lure of the open road tricks them into becoming owner operators before they are ready.I have been an owner operator for nearly 8 years and I would estimate I am pretty high on the food chain. "Making it" as an owner operator in trucking isn't easy. I didn't get here by luck, I asked a lot

    Breach of Promise? I Could Not Believe my Eyes
    From My journal of May 08,06 I requested of the Lord that He would grant me all the promises He breached with my grand parents and my husband's grandparents. According to His word in Num.14:34 After the number of the days in which you searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall you bear your iniquities, even forty years and ye shall know my BREACH of PROMISE. In surrounding passages, the Lord destroyed most of His people because of their unbelief and their blatant disobedience. WOW, where does that leave us?Anyway He came good on His promised land with the grandchildren of the few who did obey and believe Him. That leads me to believe that we too can expect to receive the promise of abundant life with all that ent

    Home Refinancing is Done for Many Reasons
    Just a few decades ago, refinancing a home loan was relatively unknown. Most people decided to buy a house, got a 30 year, fixed-rate mortgage, and made monthly payments until the loan was paid off. Times have changed, however, and in today's mortgage market, most new loans are more likely than not to be refinanced sooner or later. Today the average loan, even one issued for 30 years, is unlikely to last more than 30 years, as owners often exchange one loan for another one.The reasons are many, and all of them are valid. Here are a few of the circumstances under which an owner might wish to refinance his or her home loan:Get a fixed interest rate – Three or four years ago, interest rates were at or near historic lows.

Once you follow a formula, writing an article can become easy and as you practice each day, it can even become second nature.Before you write your article, you need to do your due diligence in researching the topic you are going to write about.

    Why You Should Get Your Own Domain
    I have to be honest. So far, I have not really had any difficulty getting clients of ours to get their own domain. In fact, in many cases, they already had a domain. But I have heard of others having to describe the benefits of having your own domain.First off, let's start out with a question. What is a domain? When we're talking about a domain, we're actually talking about what is technically a top-level domain (TLD). In Google's website, the TLD is google . com. In hometown.aol.com/catspawpress/Dzine.html, the TLD is aol.com.So when I say that as a business or organization, you should have your own domain, I'm really saying you should have your own top-level domain.Let's go through some of the reasons now that you sho

    Invoke The Passion of Your Sales Staff and Drive The Revenues
    What are the similarities between the championship sports teams and revenues driving sales teams ?Passion!!!!!Sports championships are won by each player who is passionate about the sport he/she plays. They are driven by the passion to win, beat the best and be the best. Secondly, they are coached by the best coaching staff with similar passion. They are all “doers and achievers”. Being average is not acceptable to them.Similarly, the elite business/sales teams are passionate about selling. They “enjoy” being with the customers, instead of sitting behind their desks and making proposals.These are “doers and achievers”.They collaborate with their customers to find solutions to the customer’s needs.<

    Here are a few things to keep in mind, both before you enter a contest and after you receive the judges’ final decision.

    1. Choose contests based upon their end results. Consider what you’re hoping to get out of entering a contest. Is it prize money? Is it publication? Is it the chance to get your work in front of an editor or agent? Or is it simply the chance to have an external reader review your work? Think about your end goal, and choose your contests appropriately. The Writing Show First Chapter Contest awards 750 words of feedback from industry professionals. The FirstGlance
