Kicking Up Storage For The Home And Office Into Overdrive

Noticing storage shelving for the home is far from simple. If becoming organized is at the zenith of your list right now, there are many alternatives that are more than sufficient to help you put all of your things where it needs to go.

Adding shelving storage to your house doesnt have to be tricky or expensive. And, when you add it tastefully, storage solutions for the office are also available. Getting organized starts with providing a way to organize.

To help you, here are some storage shelving solutions that you can incorporate into your home or place of work.

Up There? Wondering how high on the walls you can add shelves? One of the greatest problems that shoppers have with adding shelving units to their homes is finding a way to put them up and still have a sharp looking unit.

You should not add shelves that are beyond your reach. They will look out of the place as well. And, they should be installed straight, as a slight dip will show against the wall.

Hang It There. Another option that works well is to hang a storage organizer. You can use these in closets in almost any size and shape.

There are those that are excellent for storing shoes while others are perfect for storing clothing. Still, in the business setting, this is a great place to store files and paperwork. Most can be tailor made for your dimensional needs.

Depth Matters Too. When adding shelves to an area that will be needed to store a lot of things, think about adding a little extra depth to the shelves.

This way, you can place organized storage containers on the shelves to hide all of the clutter yet keeping it organized at the same time. Make sure that if you put up deeper shelves, that the walls can support them and that you anchor them properly.

One of the most ideal ways to get a great amount of shelving space that is stylish are wall storage units that span the entire wall. Unlike traditional book shelves, these are units of multiple sizes and shapes that fit from the ceiling to the floor and offer a see thru look to them.

The sizes can be varied and custom ordering them may be necessary, but this is a great way to get a good amount of storage from an entire wall while keeping the area looking stylish.

Finding storage shelving solutions for your home means that youll need to invest a little time in throwing away the junk and cleaning up.

And, it means taking accurate measurements as well. When you do add them to your house or office, you will adore the feeling of knowing where anything is and youll welcome guests in without worrying about the clutter.

There’s some great canvas storage bins available at http://www.storageshelvingsource.com/ as well as other storage solutions for the house and office.

How Do Long Lease Letting Schemes Work?

If you are a struggling landlord who is fed up with the stress and strain often brought about through tenants, voids and maintenance costs then you may wish to give some consideration to lease letting schemes, but what are they?

In short, there are companies that offer long lease lettings to landlords and who will maintain your property and pay rent that is guaranteed and you are not charged anything. The scheme works by the company paying you around 70% to 80% in cash for the property, even though there is a reduction in the price you do not lose out, as with the difference the company looks after the property for you and ensures that it remains in good repair. This means that the rental money you get is all yours, there is nothing taken out of it. Plus you never have to worry again where to get the money or find the time to take care of maintenance costs that often turn up when you least expect them.

A scheme that works for everyone

Long leases work in two ways, the first is that the company is assured tenants are not going to leave the property as they find tenants wanting to rent over the long term and second the tenants have the security of knowing they have a home. When tenants feel secure, they are more likely to take great care of the property and so the company does not have the worry of high maintenance costs.

Companies offering long lease letting schemes tend to offer long-term tenants the option of being able to purchase their home at some point, which again works for all parties. Landlords are able to benefit by the company finding tenants that want long term leases, there are no management costs and landlords do not even have to have contact with tenants themselves, as the chosen company takes this over. The many challenges that landlords are faced with are thereby avoided. If you are worried about voids in tenancy or are fed up with high maintenance costs, then long lease letting schemes may be the ideal choice.

The benefits to the landlord

Such a scheme may be ideal of anyone who struggles to keep tenants for the property or who are struggling to find tenants, as the company finds tenants wishing to rent over the long term and who will therefore look after the property and not let the landlord down when it comes to rent. Here are some of the many benefits you as a landlord are able to look forward to:

* Avoiding conflicts with tenants;

* You have no more bills to pay out of your own pocket for maintenance;

* There are no more voids that cause you considerable expense;

* You are able to avoid any problems and unforeseen events;

* You do not have to worry about rent arrears.

If you wish to save yourself a great deal of stress and strain a guaranteed long lease rent scheme may be the ideal solution with all the benefits. Consider entering into a guaranteed rental agreement between three and ten years with no costs to you.

It All Has to Match if You Want to Create the Ideal Business

Copyright (c) 2008 Fabienne Fredrickson

There are some solo-entrepreneurs that market ’til they’re blue in the face, and STILL don’t attract ideal, high-paying clients. They’re seemingly doing all the «right things»: they’ve got marketing materials, marketing plans, they’re speaking, networking, etc. and yet producing no real results. Yes, they have some clients. Yes, they’re making their bills. But they’re not seeing the kind of success they so desperate want. (Are you one of those?)

You might be wondering, «What is going on? What am I doing wrong?? I’m busting my chops, working like a dog, and yet my 1ncome is still NOT what I want it to be… in fact, not even close.» On the outside, everyone probably thinks you have a great business, but YOU know what’s really going on, especially financially. I actually hear this a lot. As I am working with higher level clients (people who have plenty of clients but not the business or 1ncome they really want to be making) I’m noticing that the marketing is only half the problem.

What’s usually happening is two things are getting in the way. Yes, the marketing needs to be tweaked or reworked. Usually, the target audience needs to be narrowed down or changed to a higher level client, and then inevitably, the marketing message needs to become clearer and more compelling. So, we work on that.

But most of the time, it’s something MUCH more drastic and destructive. It’s what’s going on INTERNALLY that’s botching your results: THE MINDSET. And I’ve come to realize that if the INSIDE is not matched to the OUTSIDE, then you won’t get the results you want. Period. Here’s what I mean:

There’s the OUTER game of Client Attraction: the marketing and the action and the behaviors.

Then, there’s the INNER game of Client Attraction: your thoughts, feelings and beliefs.

If these do not match, there’s no way you can create the business you SAY you want. Here’s an example: Pretend Susan is a solo-entrepreneur and she’s been in business for almost 4 years. She’s networking, speaking locally, doing an ezine, and everything else she «should» be doing. She’s good at what she does, but she’s just not making the mo-ney she wants to make. Not even close. That’s when we examine her marketing and make tweaks.

But here’s the kicker: we ALSO look at the stuff under the surface too. When we probe deeper, we realize that one or more things aren’t in alignment with her big goal she says she wants:

The Thought: «I WANT TO MAKE $500,000 this year.»

The Feeling/Belief: «IF I HAVE THAT MANY CLIENTS, I WILL GET OVERWHELMED AND LOSE MY FREEDOM. BESIDES IT WILL BE TOO MUCH WORK, SO WHY BOTHER.»

The Action: SUBTLE SELF-SABOTAGE BEGINS TO HAPPEN, because deep down, Susan wants freedom and ease more than she wants the money. She may not think that consciously, but it’s very real on a subconscious level. And that translates into Susan not doing what it takes, not taking the actions or exhibiting the no-excuses behavior that would create a business that brings her that much mo-ney per year.

Essentially, what’s happening with Susan is that she’s driving with the brake on, and going nowhere fast. So, she steps on the gas pedal even more, but still not getting any results. It’s destructive, but most importantly, after a while, there’s going to be a shortage of gas and then the whole car will stop moving. She thinks she just wasn’t meant to be in business and packs it up to go back to working for someone else, feeling like a big failure and taking a blow to her self-esteem. For Susan to create the 1ncome she wants, all 3 need to match and be congruent.

The Thought must match the Feeling/Belief must match the Action and Behavior. If not, you’ll keep struggling, not knowing why it’s all so difficult.

It’s an insidious game and the worst part of it is, you usually don’t know this is going on! Worse, you may not be able to recognize the underlying limiting beliefs, fears and self-doubt that stops your behavior. The solution? Getting really clear on where you’re not being congruent.

This is BY FAR, my most effective thing to work on with a client or workshop participant. Why? Because when you change someone’s inner states (the INNER game of Client Attraction) you begin to immediately see an increase in their business and in their 1ncome. Quantum Leaps begin to happen and it’s as if the vice-grip that’s been holding back the success of your business is FINALLY RELEASED. And there’s just so much more easy and flow (and financial abundance pours in.)

I’ve seen it time and time around with my clients and Mastermind members. When we clear the GUNK, the mo-ney follows. I know from experience, because it happened to me. In fact, it keeps happening, over and over again. The more I work on my INNER game, the more I make. And it all becomes easier: I work less and make mo-re. That’s when you know you’re becoming more congruent.

YOUR ASSIGNMENT:

If you’re feeling like you’re working really hard but not seeing RESULTS (either in your number of clients or in your re-venues) then it’s time to look at your INNER game of Client Attraction: your mindset. Notice the relationship between your thoughts about your goal, your feelings about achieving your goal and the actions you’re taking to reach that goal.

Are they congruent? Are they aligned? If not, then you’re going nowhere fast. Not until you get yourself a mindset breakthrough. That’s when the marketing breakthrough happens, which results in an 1ncome breakthrough. Once you create those breakthroughs, your business and your life will NEVER be the same. I guarantee it.

How Soon Can You Expect To Make Money?

With the exception of some not for profit organizations most people go into business in order to produce revenue (income) and profit. Unfortunately, when it comes to a home business, and especially network marketing, many people forget this important point.

In a traditional business, whether a Ma and Pa shop, or a large franchise store like McDonald’s, business owners know to watch their numbers. A business must make a profit in order to survive and, if it doesn’t, adjustments must be made accordingly.

One of the reasons for the high failure rate in small businesses, home businesses, and MLM (network marketing), is because due to the low entry costs and requirements people often don’t treat them like, «real businesses.»

Two things commonly happen:

1) Many people have the attitude that since they didn’t have to invest much to begin with they really don’t have to be too concerned about whether they make money or not, or how soon. Of course, that often ends up being a self-fulfilling prophecy. It’s not just that way with a business, but with many things in life. If you come to own something that cost a great deal or required a lot of effort to acquire you tend to appreciate it more than something of lesser perceived value.

When you consider that network marketing has made some people just as much if not more money than many other traditional kinds of businesses, with incomes of as much as $1 million a month or more being achieved, treating a MLM as if it isn’t a serious or real business is a huge mistake!

2) Because the entry cost can be so low people overlook the cost of not making money, and also have a tendency not to pay attention to how much their other expenses associated with their business (such as trips, conventions, and/or buying extra products or services over and above what you really need) add up over time.

For example, let’s say that you spend $500 to sign up for a new business. Not a lot of money at all, maybe the price of a cup of coffee a day and some change.

Weeks go by, and then months, maybe even years, and you still aren’t making any money. Perhaps you don’t think much of it because, you think to yourself, «I only spent $500 to get started in this business anyway.»

But what are the true cost? Let’s say that in addition to your startup cost you have also been spending $150 each and every month on buying your company’s products and services. (Perfectly ok if you enjoy and use all of the products you buy; not ok if you are buying more than you need simply to qualify for a certain level with your company!) And let’s also assume that you are spending $50 a month on meetings, conventions, or seminars (many people spend much more).

So, even though you really haven’t paid much attention because you only invested $500 to begin with, if your business hasn’t yet started making you money then you are really spending AND LOSING $2,400 a year, in this hypothetical example. And, here again, in reality many people often end up spending much, much more.

Going back to the example at the beginning of this article about a traditional business, like a McDonald’s. Those kinds of businesses often have much higher costs associated with them, such as a store lease or mortgage, equipment leases, payroll, etc. It isn’t uncommon for a traditional business to have to operate for months or years before making a profit.

In contrast — though networking marketing is NOT designed necessarily to make you a very large amount of money overnight — you can and should be able to generate an ever increasing residual income for yourself over time, and starting in relatively short order.

Everyone approaches a new home business differently. Some people prefer to roll their sleeves up and dig right in, expecting to start making money almost immediately. While others prefer to first spend time learning more about their new business, and/or obtaining any available training. So it’s acceptable, if you choose, to take a few weeks or even a month to «prepare» for your new business. However, especially if it is your goal to start making money right away, it is entirely realistic with most networking businesses to start earning viable amounts of money within as little as 30 days.

Certainly within 90 days you will want to start seeing some kind of payoff in return for your efforts. And no more than 6 months should go by without positively starting to see income coming in. In fact, ideally, you should try whenever possible to not only earn enough money to cover your original startup costs, but you absolutely should be making a profit (in other words, extra money) within this time.

If after 30 to 90 days, 6 months maximum, you are not making a profit, you should seriously reevaluate!

To summarize:

1) Always remember to track ALL of your directly related business expenses, including how much you spend on leads, products and services, meetings, trips and conventions, training, etc. You must add these expenses to your original startup costs.

2) Subtract how much money you’ve earned from the number above (your total expenses) and this will tell you how much money you’ve made (profit), or how much money you’ve lost and/or are losing.

3) To repeat: If after 30 to 90 days, 6 months maximum, you are not making a profit, you should seriously reevaluate!

Don’t continue down the same path if you are only spending more money than you are making, and not making any profit in return.

Remember, except for a not for profit endeavor, the purpose of being in business is to make money. And in order to make money you have to actually make more money than you spend.
