There are lots of reasons why a person decides to be an entrepreneur, and most of the time you think about how beautiful and satisfying it is to have a business. But everything is not always beautiful, in this first part we will focus on exposing the “ugly” to be an entrepreneur. In the later parts explain how to avoid such situations:
1 .- Financially.
If you want to start a business and be successful you’d better have a good cushion of money because you will not see a penny to be a long time. All financial projections that did not serve anything, you will realize that the reality is different to that planned, the projection only serves to give you an idea of what “could” happen, but it is not at all sure that fulfilled. The money will go like water, the banks will not lend you money, and you need to do wonders with the money, you will become even something cheap and not because they do not want to buy it, but you think, “that could otherwise spend on more important as the salary of an employee. “
2 .- personally.
If you think it’s always good to be your own boss, be prepared to deal with personal decisions, suppliers, customers, banks, accountants, finance, social insurance and a myriad of problems that come out every day which are often beyond your ability leadership, at one point come to believe that everyone has put together a plot to keep the best.
You’ll notice that the ineptitude of another person is in your way too, you want things done in time and well done. Did you think have the freedom to schedule?, Think again, the early years desvelándote’re up early every day and hardly have time to have another hot meal at a good time and if you know you got a piece of heaven, because live on sandwiches and fast foods that are on the road. You will not see your family or friends as often as before, be like a stranger, when you’re with them all you will be in your mind is your business.
Leave those outings weekend free time because you have all you’ll want to do is sleep and nothing else. Your head is so saturated with outstanding care you’ll begin to forget things, the most affected is the short-term memory, you will start to forget where you left your cell phone, keys, pen, and then you ignored the appointments and commitments by the sole fact that your head into something else, not because they’re forgetful.
3 .- Operationally.
The business plan had developed you will realize that it is only the foundation of what has truly become your business, the operation has been completely different. They started out details that you had no idea existed but which are essential to business operations.
A new business applied exactly where Murphy’s Law “If anything can go wrong will go wrong.” You hurt the head followed as they reached the point where you say “you do not already know what to do” to realize soon that the solution was so simple that you did not see. Begin to improvise and use your wits to solve problems and Mexican small details.
As you can see we have a small part of the problems that an entrepreneur has to face, but this is just the beginning, for all their effort they make in the beginning will pay off in the future, remember that it may be difficult If they do not like to be entrepreneurs will be full of energy every day who do not know where it is able to pass all efficiently and especially whenever they are fixing a problem is likely to be stressed out but inside it will they will enjoy doing what they love most: take.

Herbalife Is it still a good choice?
May 25, 2011 by Forex news
Filed under Forex, Forex trading news
In 1970 a young man from Los Angeles, California, USA, named Mark Hughes in an extraordinary success story, after seeing how his mother died trying to inappropriate dieting to lose weight, he used this as an impulse to try to help people who were found with the same health problem.
Driven by this strong mission in 1980 was surrounded by the right people and produced an innovative concept for its time, and a solution not previously used in overweight: the Milkshake Nutrition Facts.
Starting with its offices in their own car and selling the products coming into the trunk of his car, did not realize that the empire was starting and marketing networks would never be the same.
Not many years later he began his global openness, and only 13 sales exceeding more than 1000 million dollars.
All those who believed in Mark Hughes and the company that was created today can be counted among those with the highest incomes in the network marketing industry.
Now, Herbalife is one of the most recognized companies in the world, with more solidity and permanence. No wonder that even people who are not involved in this industry are familiar with this company, either by having used their products first hand, or having received the recommendation of someone else.
It is certainly a company that innovated in their time, and has become a brand positioned in the minds of people, but the question is at the level of a successful business, you still Herbalife is a good opportunity with good income
Up to you.
Personally I think any strong multi-company is a good opportunity, it has become solid for anything, however before you jump and get involved in any multilevel marketing business is important to consider the following points:
1) that you are passionate about the niche market of products
In this case, this particular company is highly dedicated to nutrition, supplements and wellness. Mention this because it is a determining factor in your success, because if the area of health and fitness is not what you love, you will not feel comfortable sharing with others the opportunity. If, however, this market is something that appeals to you, then you will feel like a fish in water.
2) You need to know if the compensation plan is, or adapt to what you’re looking for.
In the case of companies of which we speak today, his plan is very focused on selling product and for some ranges of grades or buybacks are somewhat higher. If you are a seller right and sales are your passion, then likely to be successful.
3) In this very particular case, is a well known company and positioned, this can be an advantage or a disadvantage.
You can become a double-edged sword. On one hand you have customers who tested the product and had their results and not have to convince them of the benefits. On the other hand, because sadly, some people with little professionalism, tried to get rich by selling products to people who did not need or were allergic or things like that, Herbalife now faces some hostile reactions accompanied by a bad name.
Obviously we can not generalize, because there are many people very valuable and very serious and committed to a mission of health among their ranks. We are not trying to put evil in this company or its products, because one thing is certain, if a bad company with bad products, would not have lasted until today
It is well known that malpractice and unethical people have been given in all companies and all levels of society, however, that Herbalife is one of the most recognized companies worldwide, has become easy target for criticism and rumors. Perhaps we can say that is a high price they have paid for being pioneers.
Personally I do not belong to this company, but it certainly deserves my respect and admiration, I really think they have done well, their duplication and training systems are very well implemented and designed, so that led them to be what are today.
We hope that all officers always have the right vision for the right time and can continue to expand the scope of your company. It would be a pity that a company with such strength, began to lag and have no awareness of constant renewal.
I wrote this article primarily to assist those in search of an income opportunity and are considering this company, but also because we want to add professionalism and a real look at what happens in network marketing.

The dissolution of utilities: why it happens and how to avoid
May 24, 2011 by Forex news
Filed under Forex, Forex trading news
By Mark Fontela (80/20 principal consultant, http://marcosfontela.wordpress.com )
Some time ago, an entrepreneur, a business partner of software development services, consulted me: “should be separated from my partner if they are not working in the company?
The following comments apply to all professional services firms, but particularly are reflections made with the software development industry in mind.
The reality is that many entrepreneurs start associating with others and for that split “shares” common in a company. They have interests and complementary knowledge and think that together they can grow bigger and better. This is healthy, but to know that a society based only in these complementary skills is almost always limited duration. In a few years if one partner wishes to take another road, the company will likely face the dissolution, which is neither good nor bad: it is simply important to know in advance in order to avoid frustration.
Order not to create the illusion of wealth, we could say: my shares in the company worth while working there, and I used to live off dividends in the future (or to sell me).
In the professional services firms, to partner has value:
A) If the partners are providing services, ie creating value every day.
B) If there is an asset that was left to the society and has a value beyond the partner’s participation.
Some examples of point (b) used to plan a retreat, not become a cause of a solution are:
- A brand (eg Accenture)
- A patented method
- A stable product (in this case, the company ceases to be a professional services company and will become a product company)
- Long-term contracts
- Some assets of validity “legal” (for example, the record of firms that work for the state)
If not do any of these things, sooner or later reach the point where he decides to leave the service becomes seen as the “passive” and not as a partner. And the partner who ends up feeling that serves does not have to deal with that liability, if at the end customers will hire him and not the passive partner, you should not split “profits” and seek new directions on their own, or with new partners who do contribute.
What other situations can limit the dissolution of society?
- If the active partner needs emotional support, because being alone tends to have ups and downs (this can not last long),
- If the partners’ liabilities “are doing some tasks, however small it is, is unbearable for those who continue to serve,
- If there are personal boundaries that delimit the scope of action (eg, my partner is my brother and if I become a member is likely to cease to be married).
All that said, to start a venture of professional services is to be considered later in the time coming when we will have to choose: to develop durable assets or face dissolution, when one partner decides to open. And, face it, is not feeling healthy capitalist for a stake in a company. where such participation is true if and only if I keep working on it.

Tips to achieve your goals
May 24, 2011 by Forex news
Filed under Forex, Forex trading news
According to statistics … most people who have “goals new year” forgets them on 15 January. So please: DO NOT BE ONE OF THEM!
He said the goals are not necessary. Answered, then go out into the street, walk aimlessly and tells me .
Every day we realize it or not, based on work goals. We decided to go to work (a goal), we decided to write a report before that time (a goal), we decided to have lunch in this or that place (a goal). Someone said: He who has no goals and came. Here are four tips to set goals for 2011:
1. Define what, when, why and how you want to achieve.
The What I want to achieve? I presented the target.
The When I reach it? The deadline.
The Why I want to achieve? Personal motivation, passion and the reasons for the effort.
The How Do I achieve it? The actions to take to achieve my goal.
2. Better a few realistic goals and achieve them. That many underlying and forget.
Who does better? “He who runs 10 miles a day for 10 days and then stop running all year round? Or who runs 3 miles every day of your life? It is better to have few goals and achieve them and not many achieve. It is better and meet challenge enough, and not be the limit but soon give up.
3. Write them down. When there is written and on hand forget.
Remember, no notes, no notes. The act of writing my goals not only with myself but I agree that I can go from dream to action. How should I do? For every goal you set, answer each of the four questions in part # 1 and then have your goals in sight (wallet or desk) and review them weekly.
4. If fault does not throw in the towel
If it does fail in its goal one day, do not jump to abandonment. Recognize that failed, identify why it failed and start over again. It is said, will not eat cake for a month. Then held firm until the day he eats a piece. Then mistakenly says and I ate one now for what, I’m eating better. If you fall get up. Bring the power of memory why you want to achieve your goal of point # 1 and begin again.
So aside 10 minutes and likely to answer the 4 questions in part 1 for each goal, will soon have an action plan that will allow continued growth.
The solution to manage your money easily.
