19th Century Advice for 21st Century Communicators
Have you ever heard of William H. Russell? His company’s name was Russell, Majors, and Waddell, and they hauled freight.Let’s say you want to ship some pots and pans across the country. If you contacted Russell’s firm way back in 1860, they could give you a price to put your stuff on a wagon, and take it across the country by wagon train.This trip could take weeks, and that’s if there were no breakdowns. Maybe their slogan was something like, “Need some merchandise today? It’s just eight weeks away!”Obviously, the problem here is: If your wagon’s held up, or if there’s a lousy winter, there’s no telling when your stuff will get delivered.That’s when Mr. Russell came up with the idea of express delivery for small goods and letters by Pony Express. The company placed horses every 15 miles --and

y few have anything to do with the price of rice in China or small business or in my case car washing for that matter.

I see a direct from Dell approach to the problem. Simplify the process of payroll contributions by having one system in all 50 states, all of which runs on Microsoft Word 2002, use that as a settlement form any upcoming mean complaints filed by Steve Case, a case worker in himself hyping numbers and projections and worse than Enron, Global Crossing, UAL, AMR, Nortel, etc. If it were simplified and on Microsoft Office and that was part of Intuits quick books then anyone could figure out the payroll contributions and the remaining monies paid to the employment agencies would be redistributed to small business for expansion or given to the vary workers themselves as a productivity bonus. Anyone from Tom Peters to Friedrich Winslow Taylor would agree that this is the best stimulus package for small business.

Business Writing - Using Contractions Isn't a Bad Thing
Business writing today is much less formal than it was twenty years ago, mainly due to the influence of email. Most people use email as an alternative to face-to-face conversation where informality is key.Since we frequently use contractions when speaking, it's certainly acceptable to use contractions in most of our daily business writing. However, confusion over the correct form can complicate the issue.When we contract words, we make one word out of two. To show that letters are missing, we use an apostrophe in place of the missing letters. The apostrophe must go where the letters are missing! Do not becomes don't; I am becomes I’m; cannot becomes can't. (Note that cannot is actually already one word--an exception to the two-word rule. It is incorrect to wr

Okay so I do a lot of research; have traveled afar and obviously I have something to say. Ah; “Rants from Lance” indeed. Yes in fact it is over do but it is time; It is Soap Box time; I Read an interesting article today about the fact that 80% of all penalties for employment withholding costs were fined to small businesses with under ten employees. Probably because when the large companies were small they were fined and learned along the way, as they got bigger to outsource employment tasks or hire attorneys to slow down the investigating agencies. I say this fact has made a market niche for employment agencies and taken another fee from the laborers.

For instance many of our franchisees have hired employees through temporary or employment agencies because of the time involved in accounting and penalties from an anti-small business group of regulators and a huge employment government agency in many states. Which attack businesses to justify their own existence. Interestingly enough these government agencies burn up half of all monies collected in administration. Those unemployment agencies need to charge more fines to stay in business, now they have more output and accusations amongst laid off workers fly and these agencies investigate even though most claims are false and lies from disgruntled, low out put employees who want something for nothing.

For instance I can call up the unemployment board of nearly any state and without any proof can make up a charge and they will go investigate it. Similar to the FTC which I know first hand does, having attacked my company based on false complaints and declarations coming from competitors. They are criminals at the FTC, well, at least the case-worker in our deal. The FTC has industry coordinators for various sectors within their once great Kennedy organization, suffer from low self-esteem, save the world, conspiracy theorist attitudes, abusive power energies and rottenness.

(CYA; but of course those case workers and prosecuting attorneys who reviewed our case are at the height and pinnacle of ethical echelon and should receive a Nobel Prize for their work in Industry and helping consumers throughout the world and making it a better and cleaner Planet for all future generations of mankind. Working diligently to make sure that the waterways of commerce which transverse the strongest nation in the world are kept pure and fair, yah sure?) I love those CYAs don’t you? Well get use to them.

Now, Let us look at the California department of Automotive Services, who claims they will investigate any auto repair case even if you are not sure there was a crime. Why? To justify the numbers of cases worked on, for the amount of overly increasing budgets every year. They have a whole fleet of several thousand cars, which we have on occasion washed. http://www.carwashguys.com . I do not mean to under mind the need for referees in the free enterprise system or endorse Smoot and his book “The Business end of Government” which everyone should read. But by attacking small business we have inadvertently put a layer of profit taking from workers salaries that is a tax on business and additional monies coming out of bonuses that real life workers may have earned to send their kids to college, donate to charity, increase standard of living and quality of life issues, help pay off mortgages and allow them to work to earn their American dream.

The same liberal attitude, which has permeated the regulatory process in America is destroying it by leveling the playing field and supporting the weakest and most inefficient of all organizations. Government. You know I am right, look for yourself. Everyday I get corporate propaganda from employment services wanting a piece of our franchisees total allocation for labor in turn for helping them with the maze of regulations of employment taxes, hiring, OSHA, workmen’s compensation claim attorneys and rules bordering on rape type penalties to small business and background checks now required for working in specialty ones like airports, DOT yards, post offices and other locations.

Am I making more out of what is really killing America? Absolutely not, no way, I am right on the money. I or any small business person for that matter will tell you, it is the reality. I have also been receiving the DOT and OSHA regulations and case laws for some time now to put into binders taking up 15% of my personal business library. The actual OSHA standards are now 56 stories high if you stacked them on top of one another. One attorney who handles government contracts told me in San Antonio yesterday that perhaps we should throw them off the top. Referring to regulators of that agency. He said the worst agency of record was clearly the EPA. We have finally beaten them and are in 100% compliance until they start changing laws again to save the unborn gay pregnant whales from nuclear fallout, terrorism, and botulism. Not that, those are not all great causes but very few have anything to do with the price of rice in China or small business or in my case car washing for that matter.

Office Space for Lease
There are very few businesses that own office spaces. It is an expensive and unnecessary investment for those business owners who don?t need extensive laboratories or other specialized facilities in their organizations. For a business office that needs space for people to work on computers and with clients, it is rented or leased out from building owners or contractors, alias business incubators.The Internet has made office space leasing a very easy job. There are plenty of websites that help you to find out your area requirements, search available office spaces online and take you through the entire process of setting up with as much ease as writing your name down on a piece of paper or checking email on your computer.If you would rather not depend on the Internet for your office leasing requirements, the

Nerve of Steel
L.N. Mittal has an abundant appetite for acquiring steel firms. From Kazakhstan to Romania, from Indonesia to the US, the Indian-born takeover tycoon’s Mittal Steel has gobbled up steel plants and added them to his expanding empire. But not even his most ardent admirers bet on the success of his bid for Europe’s biggest steel maker Arcelor S.A.Except perhaps Mittal himself. Luxembourg-based Arcelor had tried everything to fend off the metal maven. At first there was shock and confusion in the European ranks as the French, who hold stake in the company, told Mittal that his bid had no chance. Luxembourg politicians said they would pass legislation to make his bid illegal.In much of Europe, Mittal’s move was viewed as a rough attempt by “new” India to take on “old” Europe.

The Freight Forwarding Industry Cleans Up Its Act
A freight forwarding best practice charter will be signed in Paris this June committing the signatories to sustainable logistics methods. This is part of the new freight forwarding programme that Paris has been developing over the last five years. The city wants to develop its logistics services and use cleaner ways of transporting freight.The underlying aim of the programme is to both improve the environmental impact of freight forwarding whilst at the same time meeting the needs of the freight forwarding industry.The programme was deemed necessary owing to the amount of pollution produced by freight forwarding. Freight forwarding has been shown to be the cause of over 25% of all greenhouse gas emissions.As a result of the programme, by next year vehicles that cause a lot

Why Companies Give Corporate Awards
The music industry is very well aware of what the Grammy Award does, as well as the musicians who may be nominated. Those that work in television know the value of an Emmy Award. Hollywood and their movies are filled with awards, from the People’s Choice to the Oscar’s and everything in between. Even though each of these awards renders something different within each separate genre, they all hold a common ground. They all translate into honor and prestige for the recipient, making one stand out amongst the masses of their peers.College football has the Heisman Trophy, professional football has the Vince Lombardi Trophy, and professional hockey has the Stanley Cup. Again, each is an honor to set one individual or team at the highest level of their game, for triumphant are those that hold the symbol of greatnes

I recently looked at the SBA loans for small business due to terrorism and found that only about 55 million dollars in loans nationwide; Pathetic really, absolutely pathetic. Although the ramp up time and Congressional delays and bureaucracy made these funds unavailable in real time, hundreds of thousands of small businesses are no longer with us. Why? Why, damn it; answer me. You pathetic losers; whose team are you on. Arguing about BS putting into the minutes; hours of discussion that any entrepreneur worth his salt could have done in seconds. Letting America disintegrate is a terrorist act.

Here are some tips for entrepreneur that can help them to achieve their dreams and be successful in business.

For a long time, companies used employee time clocks to keep track of how many hours each employee worked each week. Each employee had their own punch card, which they inserted into the time clock so the time could be stamped on it. Even though technology has caught up with the time clock, it is still one of the best ways available of keeping track of the hours an employee works, and transferring that information across to payroll so that the employee is paid correctly.

Corporate gifts are effective in boosting employee morale and popularizing the image of the company amongst its customers. Read further.
