Home Based Business Productivity Tips – While there are many benefits to running your business from home, there are also many pitfalls too. Distractions such as kids and pets abound, and many other responsibilities can intrude on your working time. However, it’s possible to apply the productivity lessons you’ve learned from your previous career and get them to work for you at home too. A well managed and well organized business is nearly always productive, and so the following tips will assist you greatly in getting the most out of your time.1 – Prioritize – Schedule the tasks you need to achieve in order of importance, so that you can devote more hours to the tasks that are most pressing. Organize yourself so that you are not spending 3 hours a day replying to emails and leaving other important duties aside.2 – Set targets for each day – Set the goals that need to be accomplished for each working day. While it may not always be possible to achieve everything on your to-do list in one day, with a little organization and by setting reasonable goals, it should be possible to get close to it.3 – Give your family instructions – One of the biggest causes of un-productivity in home based businesses is due to something we term “family interference”. You need to make your family realize that when you are sat in the office or study, you are still ‘at work’, even though you are at home. Sit down and explain to your family that you need to set aside a number of hours each day for working, and that you can do without being disturbed during this time.4 – Limit your internet time – The internet, while being a vital tool for home based businesses, is also one of the biggest distractions there is. You’ll need to be strict with yourself and not get sucked into a vortex of web surfing.5 – Automate – One of the reasons for starting a home based business is to free up your time and enjoy life more! So find ways to automate everything. Or get involved with a company that sets you up to be automated! For example, be sure to check out One24, a groundfloor, unique company offering a no risk, no upfront cost home based business opportunity with the potential to retire in 2 years.
Plan To Succeed With Information Product Creation: Why You Need To Split Your Process Up
One of the keys to succeeding in information product creation is to break the process up into discrete steps. This frequently isn’t an instinctive reaction for the typical information marketer. Especially on the internet where small sized learning products are the norm.
However, it is extremely important to your ultimate success. In fact, I would go so far as to say that if you don’t do this you probably won’t succeed… even when you are starting out let alone as you move forward.
Your product creation system should do this for you if only to help you to understand the overall task.
But why?
In this article, I’m going to ignore chunking and focus on the practical aspects. That’s not to say that chunking isn’t important. It is. It’s important to understanding and to learning the process. But while you can use the same chunks as you move forward, long term your focus needs to be on the operation of the system not the understanding of it. Unless of course you are constantly training new people!
So why is chunking important to long term use of the product creation process? (Yes, I know systems design uses a different term for this process but I’m not teaching you systems design. So I’m going to use the word learning content designers use.)
The first reason that having individual discrete tasks is important is one of schedule estimation. Frequently it is very difficult to estimate how long the total task of creating a product will take. After all, the size and type of the products matters as does the number of products in your product funnel. And those are just the most obvious elements. However, estimating a discrete task is often much easier. The total can then be estimated as the total of the discrete tasks.
Secondly, scheduling a large task can be problematic. However, by segmenting the task into a number of discrete tasks, you gain a much greater flexibility in scheduling. Not only that but as your business begins to add people you are able to schedule multiple people to the product creation.
Finally, segmenting a large task into smaller discrete tasks allows you to have much better control over the product creation. This affects two different areas — status and quality.
By segmenting your process into discrete tasks you are able to schedule and record the progress at much more detailed level. As a result you are more in control of the status of the product creation. You know what everyone is doing. When they should complete it. And how much it should cost. You also know exactly what has been done.
You also improve your overall quality. Instead of waiting until everything is done you can check quality as you go. This allows you to immediate react to low quality products without absorbing their costs. This means that you have less rework and your rework costs less. And if the product is not going to meet its quality requirement you will know about it in time to stop the development, change the requirement or fix the product.
Real Estate Law Degree – What is it and is it For You?
What is a Real Estate Law Degree?
The practice of law has undergone major changes in the past 20 years. Today, real estate lawyers work in varied and complex transactions, from simple residential house purchases to commercial projects.
This degree is a mix of law, business and dispute resolution. It will prepare you to deal with issues beyond law school, understanding how law interacts with tax, corporate, and environmental law. You will be faced with issues such as workforce housing, urban redevelopment, commercial leasing and workouts, and energy conservation. It will prepare you to deal with transactions when the economy is booming and when it is not.
What can I do with this type of Law Degree?
Real estate lawyers provide their clients with advice regarding purchase and sale of property, financing and development, construction contracts, investments, environmental compliance and property management. They help clients with governmental zoning restrictions necessary to move forward with projects.
With this type of law degree you could work in law firms, corporations as well as government agencies. You could work in large firms, in the building and zoning departments of counties and municipalities. You could also work for corporations, development companies or title companies. If you decide to work alone or in a very small company you will most likely focus on residential housing. In this profession you will work together with title insurers, brokers, environmental lawyers, litigation departments and bankers.
You would spend much of your day drafting documents, reviewing them, counseling clients as well as negotiating terms. A business law foundation as well as negotiation skills are critical for success in this area of the law.
Courses and Curriculum
Most students begin their study with a basic introductory course, transactions and finance. Following this entrance course, you would be exposed to courses in finance, mortgages, mezzanine loans, bond financing, leasing, acquisitions, mortgage foreclosures and community association law.
