  • Business Owners: These 6 Proven Strategies Help You Do More With Less - Entrepreneur Podcast Network – EPN
    If your bottom line isn’t where it needs to be, it’s time to start thinking about how your business can do more with whatever meager resources it has on hand.
    While these six proven strategies won’t rocket your company to profitability overnight, they can improve your cash flow picture and reduce your reliance on outside capital. Here’s what you need to know about each.
    Barter or Trade Services
    What is this, the Stone Age?
    No. It’s smart business. Nowhere is it written that you have to pay cash for every good or service your business consumes — nor that your business has to accept such consideration for every good or service it provides. Look for sensible opportunities to make win-win barters with vendors, suppliers, and even clients: for instance, trading whatever service you provide for website development help or free marketing labor.
    Use a Rewards Credit Card
    It won’t change your financial picture overnight, but responsible credit card use can make a big difference. Look for cards that pay you back for everyday purchases, such as office supplies or utility expenses. Products that can honestly claim the best rewards credit card mantle return 2% or more, on average.
    Tap Low-Interest Financing Sources
    Credit cards count as low-interest financing sources — as long as you pay off your balances in full each month. If you need a longer float, look to alternatives such as home equity lines of credit.
    Use More Efficient Transportation
    If your business requires your team to spend lots of time on the road, invest in a more efficient fleet. Look for hybrid or all-electric vehicles that sip (or completely eschew) conventional fuel. Even if they cost more upfront, you may qualify for state and federal credits. Fuel savings will boost your long-term savings too.
    Invest in Word of Mouth Marketing
    Why pay for advertising when your customers are willing to do it for free?
    That’s the goal, anyway.
    Implement a lean marketing strategy that encourages, then magnifies, word of mouth. There’s no wrong way to do this: referral programs, new account bonuses, above-and-beyond customer service all have their place. The most important thing is to get your customers talking in positive terms about whatever it is you have to offer.
    Make Sensible Cuts to Overhead Expenses
    It’s all too common for decision-makers at high-growth businesses to glaze their eyes whenever the conversation turns to overhead expenses. After all, they’re unavoidable.
    Or are they? You’d be surprised just how much you can trim from supposedly fixed expenses — whether by investing in efficient fixtures and appliances in your office space, negotiating a better deal on your lease, or opting for a more flexible, scalable coworking plan instead of a traditional long-term lease agreement.
    What’s Your Secret?
    Every business is different. That means your precise money-saving formula will likely be different from your competitor’s across town — and certainly your distantly related peer business two states over.
    All the more reason to take a hard look at both sides of your balance sheet and ask tough questions about what you need to do differently. Your company’s future may well depend on it.

  • 7 Tips for Writing a MBA Dissertation - Entrepreneur Podcast Network – EPN
    Writing a MBA dissertation can be a difficult task to complete. Not executing the paper could mean that your project doesn’t pass the muster. For students who wish to achieve a high passing grade on their next dissertation, we have compiled these seven stellar tips for writing a MBA dissertation with perfect execution.
    TIP 1 – Understanding the Task at hand
    The first thing you should always do is fully understand the task at hand. So many students just dive into the project without checking whether they are doing the work correctly. It could mean that you spend hours and even days on writing a paper only not to hit all the marks outlined by the professor.
    Be sure you check all the requirements and that you’re following the task to the letter. It includes direction, length and methodology. You could always ask your professors to help you out in this field.
    TIP 2 – Hypothesizing
    The hypothesis is key to writing a stellar MBA dissertation. Usually, people insert this within the first paragraph with the idea of sparking interest in the mind of the reader before expanding on the concept. Thus, it’s incredibly essential to summaries your hypothesis in the first paragraph accurately.
    Grab the attention of the readers and then expand further in the body of the dissertation.
    TIP 3 – Use Formal Lingo
    Vocabulary and lingo are essential within a MBA dissertation. Mostly, you’re speaking to a specific demographic of people. It doesn’t mean you have to stuff the body with particular niche keywords, but it does say you’ll have to “speak their language”.
    Dissertations usually burden with the highest level of academic vocabulary related to the specific industry you are targeting. Therefore, make sure you understand the industry you’re writing about and use relevant words to help convey your ideas.
    Tip 4 – Supporting Arguments
    As with any dissertation, the evidence is essential to help support your hypothesis. It doesn’t mean you’ll have to pull out sheets upon sheets of data, but you can carefully select supporting arguments that will make your explanation more noteworthy.
    The idea of supporting arguments is to build on the hypothesis, to motivate the reader to keep on reading and ultimately convince the reader that your interpretation is correct. Use supporting arguments to cement the ideas in the minds of the readers.
    Tip 5 – Don’t go overboard with length
    While you might bless with the skills of writing, it doesn’t mean you’re writing a novel. A MBA dissertation usually is between 1000-2000 words, so use this space to make your message concise. Additionally, when you transition into the world of business, length plays against you as people within this highly competitive sector of society prefer to have the message more to the point than elaborate writings that take up time.
    Therefore, planning what you’ll say and only choosing the most relevant information is key to writing a stellar MBA dissertation.
    Tip 6 – Revision is key
    People tend just to write a dissertation and immediately jump into editing. It is a significant mistake. If you just finished a paper and started editing, you will be blind to many mistakes you are making due to something called “Creator’s bias”.
    Creator’s bias essentially means that you have a favorable view of your work because YOU created it. To have a more objective approach to revising your work, we suggest you let it sit for a day or two before editing it. It will give your brain chance to break the creator’s bias allowing you look at the work with a fresh perspective and catching any mistakes you may have made.
    Tip 7 – Test it with Peers
    Finally, before handing in your work, let your peers review your work and provide their insight into the content as well. It gives you an additional perspective that can make you i…

  • Choosing a Career: What it takes to be a Librarian - Entrepreneur Podcast Network – EPN
    Librarians are guardians and broadcasters of knowledge. They organize information and have to constantly develop new ways in which readers can access to it through the latest technologies. Are you considering becoming a librarian?
    Libraries tend to be a space for peace and tranquility, a place in which people can think and let their knowledge grow. But, apart from its users, there is an essential figure in the functioning of these places: the librarians. Librarians are responsible for keeping the place coordinated and offering different activities every day. Have you ever wondered what the librarian profession is like? Do you know which careers you would need to follow in order to be a librarian? In this article, we will review the basic things that are required for being good at this profession. You will be surprised to find out that there are a lot of skills that are required. In the past, it was a common misconception that librarians didn’t need to be very skilled as it was seen as a simple job. This has changed a lot during the last decade due to the unstoppable advances of technology.
    Even though it may seem as a very “static” function, not everyone is prepared for working in a library. These are just some of the essential skills that are required for a professional in documentation:
    To have a marked interest for culture in general, and reading in particular.
    Communication skills for working face to face with the users on daily basis.
    Skills for managing and organizing information.
    Creativity for the organization of activities at the library.
    A sense of self-taught and predisposition for adapting to changes.
    But, what does a librarian actually do? Do they organize books and keep track of loans? Do they organize and promote reading clubs and activities? In fact, these are some of the functions of library development, but they are not the only ones:
    A librarian is the main person responsible for the catalogue and for keeping the records of the book’s loans.
    A librarian controls the availability of spaces, times, and materials.
    A librarian reviews how all material is ordered periodically.
    A librarian promotes new acquisitions: books, movies, music, etc.
    A librarian develops the activities’ program and watches for its compliance.
    A librarian is in charge of making lists for acquiring funds.
    A librarian is up to date with the announcements that affect the library.
    A librarian gathers information about the use of funds, spaces, loans, and necessities.
    A librarian makes the presentation of the library to the users.
    Apart from these basic functions, to really excel as a librarian, you will need some of the skills that are very relative to XXI Century jobs: the ability to solve complex problems, critical thinking in order to discern between good information and misinformation, creativity for the organization of activities, staff management to keep the internal work team properly functioning, emotional intelligence to deal with users, and a very clear orientation to service to be available for the users whenever needed.
    Some other additional skills may be required in order to be a top-notch librarian. These are skills that can be associated with other different job positions, but that a librarian could use for doing a really impressive job. Public relations, for example, are needed for permanently interacting with the users and for promoting the library’s activities. Librarians may also require a “psychologist” side to them, because they usually gain the trust of their users, which results in them talking about their own personal problems and issues from time to time. A good librarian will have the patience to listen to them and try to make them feel better! Even if you say nothing, just lending an ear is usually enough.

  • Tips to Consider When Choosing a Probate Lawyer - Entrepreneur Podcast Network – EPN
    It’s a difficult, painful time when a loved one passes away. However, with the support of your friends and family, you’ll make it through. The grieving process really puts things into perspective, and you’ll always cherish the memories of your loved one. It can take time to restore a level of normality in your life. However, time is a great healer, and the person you cared about wouldn’t want you to live in misery.
    Though it might seem immaterial at the time, there is the matter of probate. A legal professional can help you through the process, but finding someone who’s suitable is challenging. To help you find someone who is ideal for your situation, here are some useful tips to consider when choosing a probate lawyer:
    Are You The Executor In The Will?
    If you’re the executor of the will, there are various points to consider when instructing a probate solicitor. First, you must decide whether you want to act as executor of the estate, unless your loved one discussed this possibility before their passing. Without a probate solicitor, there are complex legal responsibilities that are mandatory. If you fail to meet these properly, you’ll be financially responsible for mistakes, and end up out of your depth.
    Do You Need to Get Probate?
    In certain situations, you might not even need probate at all. If the estate you’re dealing with doesn’t have any value, land, shares, or investment, probate isn’t necessary. This applies to all estates worth less than a specified amount, which is set by the bank that held funds or investments for the deceased. Each institution has their own set of rules to determine whether they require probate, which fluctuates from one to the next. This means you’ll need to delve deeper to assess whether probate is required.
    Do You Need a Probate Solicitor?
    Probate solicitors can save you thousands in fees. Conducting a Google search is a great starting point for finding the right one. You can start by typing in “probate lawyer” and your geographic location, which helps narrow down the results. For example, if you live in South Carolina, you’d type in probate lawyer in South Carolina to bring up a list of prospective professionals. It’s important to pick one using experience, proficiency, and previous success as gauges, for peace of mind to help you through the proceedings. Probate is complicated and time consuming and, without a probate solicitor, you can expect to invest between 70 and 100 hours of dedicated time.
    How Much Will Probate Cost?
    This depends on the complexity of matters, as well as the value of the estate in question. Probate is more complex on an estate with high value investments, and a quote will usually take into account the value of the estate. You’ll pay somewhere in the region of $150 – $250 per hour for an excellent probate lawyer. Or, if suitable, you can pay a flat fee, between $1,000 – $2,000. In truth, you get what you pay for, but there are always exceptional professionals on hand to help you through a difficult process.

  • Three Fields of Law To Consider if You Like Helping Ordinary People! - Entrepreneur Podcast Network – EPN
    Starting a law career can be hard work, but it has the promise of a long and rewarding working life where you will get to see all kinds of interesting cases and make a good living. For some people in law, being a solicitor or other legal expert is also a chance to help people who have been the victims of crime, corporate negligence or malpractice. Lawyers can also have an important part to play in a lot of the issues that affect normal people in the course of their lives, especially when it comes to things like family law and property law.
    If you prefer the idea of working to support ordinary members of the public at difficult times in their lives, as opposed to working on the legal side for a corporation or working in criminal law, then here are three possible specialisms that may be interesting to you:
    Family And Marriage Law
    For a lot of people, the only times when they really need to employ a lawyer are when they have unpleasant situations in their lives – often relating to their spouse or family. Divorce law can be an area where a lot of lawyers find the work satisfying, as they are able to help their clients sort out the legal side of what is usually a very difficult and painful part of their lives, helping them to negotiate a settlement and be able to move on.
    This area of law can also include things like child custody, so if you are someone who cares a lot about families and children and wants to help ensure the best outcomes for the people who come to you, this can be a good specialism. Family law is also one of the most in-demand fields because it is something that affects people from all walks of life and in all regions, so if you prefer to work somewhere outside of major cities, it can also be a good area to focus on.
    Medical Negligence and Malpractice Law
    Another field you may want to consider if you like helping people is medical negligence. People make medical negligence claims UK for a lot of reasons – it could be that they were prescribed the wrong drug, were the victim of a botched surgery, or even that they were not properly looked after during pregnancy or childbirth and this led to health issues for their baby.
    Medical negligence covers a broad range of situations, and claims can be against the NHS or private practitioners. The best medical negligence solicitors work to secure compensation for people who have seen any kind of injury or negative outcome due to medical professionals not providing the accepted and expected standard of care and treatment, and these compensation claims can often be of a very high value. Also, due to the nature of some firms this can be a very personal side of the law, as they offer free over the phone advice to each potential client – which can be seen through the UK company The Medical Negligence Experts who provide a very personal one-on-one approach which some firms don’t.
    Medical negligence lawyers not only help their clients to move on with their lives after a bad experience and fund any further surgery they need or cover any loss of earnings or lifestyle through compensation, but they also have an impact on medical care as a whole. The more bad practices that are brought to light through a medical negligence claim, the better the healthcare industry becomes, as practices seek to avoid lawsuits and regulatory bodies learn more about the areas where tighter controls are needed to protect patients.
    Medical malpractice can, therefore, be an ethically rewarding field, as well as an interesting and lucrative one.
    Personal Injury
    Personal injury claims can be brought against individuals, companies, and even government bodies in some cases. Personal injury can cover a vast range of things, from workplace injury to people being injured in public places due to negligence (for example…

  • Guide to Entrepreneurs: When You’re Tired It’s OK to Rest, but Not to Quit - Entrepreneur Podcast Network – EPN

    Being an entrepreneur is more than just a job; it’s a way of life. And sometimes it’s a way of life that makes you feel like you have no life other than running around tending to business. It can be rough, tough and enough to make you want to just walk away.

    Feeling overwhelmed is completely normal for entrepreneurs. In fact, it proves you’re human. Walking away is OK, too – as long as you come back. In other words, it’s OK to rest when you get tired, but it’s not OK to quit. What’s the difference?

    Key Differences between Resting and Quitting

    While resting and quitting both serve to give you a break, they are two totally different actions.

    • Resting lets you walk away for a set amount of time. Quitting means you’re walking away forever.
    • Resting lets you recharge your batteries. Quitting completely pulls out the plug.
    • Resting can help ensure you don’t quit. Quitting has no bearing on whether or not you rest. Quitting may actually make it harder to rest, since your mind may start swirling with fear and dread about what you’re going to do next.
    • Resting can bring on feelings of peace. Quitting can bring on feelings of failure and regret.

      • Benefits of Resting

      While quitting can bring on negativity, resting can bring on loads of benefits. Taking time to rest:

      Gives Your Batteries a Chance to Recharge 

      Your body and mind can’t keep zooming around at 100 mph forever. Resting recharges your physical body and mental energy, giving you time and space to breathe. Enhance your relaxation time even further by listening to soothing music, meditating or vaping a high-quality tobacco e-liquid, like Black Note.

      Helps Generate New Ideas

      When you shut off the chatter of the outside world, you’re better able to hear what’s going on inside your soul. Entrepreneurs are creative people by their very nature, and new ideas and inspiration can only break through if you slow down enough to listen for them.

      Reduces Stress (and Health Risks)

      Skipping regular time away from work can weigh you down with stress. This, in turn, can decrease the efficiency of your immune system while increasing your risk of a number of health issues. You’re also more likely to be engaging in physical activity when you’re away from your job, another way to stay healthier.

      Increases Your Productivity

      The more hours you work, the less productive you’re apt to be. Info from the Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) says so. France and Germany are the most productive countries, and they both require workers to take more than 30 vacation days per year.

      Now that you know the positive effects of resting, there’s only one thing left to do. Schedule some time off. Regular breaks throughout the workday are a must, as are scheduled days off from work every week. This way you can return to your business revived, refreshed, full of new ideas and ready to tackle whatever’s in store.

    • 4 Tips for Successful Affiliate Marketing - Entrepreneur Podcast Network – EPN
      Making a success of affiliate programs is down to several elements. But the good news for anyone new to this marketing model is these are relatively straightforward to implement. In order to capitalise on your potential, here are four tips about the elements you should think about prioritising.
      It’s all about the product
      Discernment is the key word here. Prior to embarking on signing-up to an affiliate program like htttps://topoffers.com you need to spend some time sifting through the options for products and services already out there. You’ll be more successful if you can strike a balance between niche areas where there will be strong customer focus on a particular set of items, and products that are in high demand, and will therefore appeal to a broader demographic.
      The former are easier to capitalize on because you can devote a lot of time and effort into convincing casual browsers they have arrived at the premiere marketing outlet for their favored item. For the latter, your main concern should be the level of competition. This in itself can help to drive your own business as it gives you an incentive to streamline your marketing strategies in order to make the most of proven demands.
      Target your customers
      A successful affiliate marketer needs to concentrate on selecting products that can be closely tied in with your existing expertise. You want to be promoting products or services matching the demands of your customer base.
      Think of your web platform. What subjects to you commonly engage your audience about? When you reach out to your social media network, what are the topics you are passionate about? Once you’re affiliated to a retail business that is selling items which are relevant to your own site, that’s where you can really start to get this venture off the ground.
      Make sure you are providing the answer to the questions asked by people casually surfing into your website. Engage with your customers, and really let them know that what you are providing isn’t just a link to a list of items. It’s a solution to their needs, one they will consistently return to your site for.
      Once you do become established, never be content to sit back and expect your customers to keep on coming back without any encouragement. One of the worst aspects of any affiliate program is stagnant web pages. Be prepared to keep customers enticed with rejigged ads, adopting different styles or fonts that best represent your items.
      Becoming the authoritative voice
      Following on from honing in on audience demands, once you begin establishing a name for yourself in your chosen field you’ll gain a reputation. This is a crucial aspect of making a success out of affiliate marketing which can’t be understated. It’s a hugely competitive market out there so you’ll need to ensure you stand out from the competition at all times. If your customers know the products they are looking for, why should they choose you over your rivals? What are you doing that is different? The answer is to convey the impression you are the authority on the subject. You want to be known as the ‘go to’ site for x product.
      Eyecatching customer engagement
      This is achieved in several ways, but a good tip is to give forthright, positive and constructive reviews of the affiliated products. Short video clips are always to be recommended. These can be placed in your social media organically, as the last thing you want to be seen doing is simply ‘plugging.’ It’s all about making sure your customers trust you.

    • Key Legal Considerations Business Owners Should Pay Attention to in 2018 - Entrepreneur Podcast Network – EPN
      Operating a business involves much more than selling a product or service. It also involves staying abreast of different laws and regulations, and making sure that your company is in compliance. With that in mind, the following four legal issues are definitely among the most important topics company owners should pay close attention to this year:
      Handling Hazardous Materials
      If your business handles hazardous materials in any way, either through manufacturing a product or removing them from homes and businesses, it is important to research any risks associated with coming in contact with these substances. For example, companies that handle asbestos removal must be keenly aware of the health issues that can result from the fiber. Consulting with a legal professional that specializes in this area of law is definitely a good idea. Attorneys can help business owners stay on top of any legal issues concerning hazardous materials as well as offer advice on staying compliant.
      The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
      If you have employees, it is very important to be aware of the rules and regulations surrounding the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). The FMLA allows eligible employees of covered employers to take unpaid, job-protected leave for specified family and medical reasons. During this time, the employee will have continuation of his or her group health insurance coverage under the same terms and conditions as if the employee had not taken leave. Eligible employees are entitled to 12 workweeks of leave in a 12-month period for a number of reasons, including the birth of a child, a serious health condition and/or to care for the employee’s spouse, child or parent who has a serious health condition. FMLA also allows for 26 workweeks of leave in a 12-month period to care for a covered service member who has suffered a serious injury or illness.
      Sexual Harassment
      The laws concerning sexual harassment are also extremely important to be aware of, as well as enact in the workplace. As the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission explains, it is against the law to harass an applicant or an employee because of the person’s gender. This harassment includes unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors and other physical or verbal harassment that is sexual in nature. It is important to note that harassment does not have to specifically refer to sex — for example, it is against the law to harass a man or woman by making negative comments about men and/or women.
      Arbitration Agreements
      Arbitration is one of those legal areas that is definitely significant, but can be confusing to fully grasp. If there are issues between you and your landlord over office conditions, if a customer or vendor has a dispute with a contract, or an employee alleges that he was unfairly fired, you may end up in court, or you may choose a Alternative Dispute Resolution like arbitration. More companies than ever are now requiring binding arbitration as a condition of doing business with them, mainly in part because it can be less expensive than litigation. Reading up on arbitration agreements to see if you should require them is a prudent choice.
      As a busy business owner, it can be challenging to find time to research, read about and/or consult with attorneys about these legal issues. However, because these four legal considerations are so important and, if not followed, may lead to much more time-consuming issues later on, it is crucial to pay close attention to these topics and seek out legal advice when needed.

    • Easy Ways to Improve the Company Culture at Your Business - Entrepreneur Podcast Network – EPN

      Company culture is a crucial aspect to every single business. You cannot go to work and assume your employees are only there to work for you. Instead, you need to provide value and a great work environment for them in return and remain loyal to your company. Only by offering them a great company culture can you keep your best and attract better talent from around the world.

      There are many ways you can improve the culture at your company, including:

      Building a Better Break Room 

      It proven that the better the break your employees can have, the more productive they will be. Having a nice break room can also help encourage your employees to be healthy, meaning that you can further improve their work ethic. Start with adding a fridge and other simple cooking utensils. If your break room isn’t big enough for an oven, for instance, you can get a toaster oven that can fit on the counter. Offer free coffee, tea, and even some protein bars for free to your employees so that they can stay fuelled and ready to go. Encourage them to eat healthy, give them better options, and you will improve your workspace.

      Budget-Friendly Benefits

      Offering benefits is the best way to improve the company culture and to attract the best new employees, but these benefits don’t have to cost your company an arm and a leg either. For smaller businesses it’s the thought that counts. If your employee has been doing a great job recently offer them to take a Friday off early, or cover a lunch for them. These simple benefits help your employees feel appreciated and can be given by every company.

      Improving Brainstorming Sessions 

      Every employee wants to feel valued. That is why valuing their opinion and listening to them is one of the best company culture traits you can adopt. Not only is this a great way to make them feel more valued, it is how your company will benefit. You don’t want only yes-men working for you. You want different ideas being bounced around and a greater representation so that your company can be stronger, and you can do this with better brainstorming sessions.

      Fun and Team Building Activities 

      All work and no play can be very dull for your employees. Routine and monotony can hurt the creativity and the drive of your employees, which is why adding a bit of fun can really improve your company workplace culture. Organize a betting pool with your employees around the Football World Cup. This doesn’t have to interrupt workflow, but it brings your employees closer together.
