In today's climate of change any one can find them selves short on cash and as a result miss a few payments. This can result in a foreclosure process being initiated by the lender. If you ever find yourself in such a situation you should contact your lender as soon as possible. Banks and other lenders never like to miss payments but would rather know in advance. They also will probably want to know why you're having a problem and how you are...more
For a solo professional having an up-to-date contact management database is one of the KEY administrative systems you have to have for your business. And, even more important, is having a system in place to create effective follow-up. Your business is built on following up leads and building relationships. If you don't have a contact management system in place, you will not be able to follow-up effectively with prospects, you could lose clients, and you will not be able to build your business.Your contact management system needn't be a 'bells and whistles' expensive database but it does need to be easy to use, easy to maintain, and easy for you to find your contact data. Once your contact management system is in place you need to ensure that you keep it up-to-date and are using it to follow up with prospects.Spreadsheets are a great tool for keeping track of your contacts, but even they have their limitations, particularly if your database is starting to get very large - anything over 100 contacts really needs to be on a computerised, contact management database.My very favourite contact management system is ACT! It really meets all of the criteria above in that it's:Easy to use;...more

Even traders want to be trendy when they buy stocks. Many traders make trades because of public opinion, not because the trade itself makes sense. When a particular stock seems popular, they rush in so they don`t feel they`ve missed an opportunity. As a result they end up buying at a price point where the trade can`t possibly work out. You should always avoid the emotion of the "hot" stock.Here`s an example of what not to do when you buy stocks: Let`s say you`ve been following a particular stock which is in a "hot" sector, and it just announced a stock split. The stock is now at $18, and you calculate it could get to $25 or more by the time of the split. The market is currently bullish, and it looks like a great trade.The problem is that the stock has been rising for the past four days. It started at $12, but you didn`t notice it until it hit $18, and it`s still rising. The stock split is a month away, and you know it`s likely to fall in price somewhat between now and the split. Still, everyone is talking about this stock. What if it continues to rise and becomes the next blockbuster? You become afraid that if you don`t make a trade you`ll miss a great opportunity. (And besides,...more
