While looking into life insurance I came across a few different websites that talk about Life Settlements. In big bold letters on most of the sites I was shown that I can get a policy from $25,000 to $500,000 without having to show any medical records or even a life expectancy report. So basically Life Settlements are a fancy way of saying life insurance, only you can collect on it while you’re still alive. According to sub-text a life settlement is when the owner of a policy sells said policy for a lump-sum payment. So say you’re life insurance covers…more»

With numerous family health problems, it’s got me looking into what would happen if I happen to pass away earlier than expected. There are a few different options for me but feeling as though I’d last more than 30 years I assume that Term Life Insurance wouldn’t be the route to take. However, when it comes to someone like my aunts, uncles, parents or grandparents I assume that within the next 30 years quite a few of them will have passed on and something like Term Life Insurance would be the route for them to take. I’ve looked into a…more»

Anyone running or working for a company would know that taking or making a conference call is just part of the job. Not everyone can be in the same room at the same time, so naturally through the wonderful world of technology you can not only call someone where everyone can be in a few locations to still hear the news but there are also video conferencing capabilities as well. I have certainly noticed a rise in them recently. While I’ve never personally done one (minus discussing a few things with a client over a video-enabled instant messenger) I can…more»

It’s unfortunate but things tend to go missing around here, mainly important paperwork. I’m tempted to go through my archives and send them off to a Document Scanning Service just so I can keep track of them. One company I’ve looked into is RecordNations. Most businesses would view record management as just a cost of doing business. Unfortunately, with the increasing risk of failing to practice proper records management – you can lose your business. By going through RecordNations with their Document Scanning Service you can free up valuable office space and keep all of your important documents in a…more»

I’m not sure if it’s based on the fact that a lot of my visitors are back in school or if things are just dragging along but I’ve noticed that my traffic is beginning to drop and is only in the 800-1000 hits per day mark, as opposed to the 3500-4000 I used to get. So I’ve been looking into numerous ways to getting more website traffic. I’ve even considered looking into a few outside companies based on the fact that I don’t have the time to put in the effort on my own SEO work these days. I’ve been…more»

Lately I’ve been having a lot of repetitive dreams about owning my own home. I’m not sure if it’s based on the fact that Sean and I are both ready to get moving and be on our own or if it has more to do with the fact that in the long run it would probably be cheaper to own our own home instead of renting ANYTHING within a 100 mile radius of where we’re currently living. Either way I’ve got many ideas floating around and thankfully with the use of the Internet I’ve been able to locate almost everything…more»

I found something pretty interesting for those of you looking towards a new career. The thought of being a Flight Attendant seems pretty cool to me. You get to travel around the world and while you’re only real job is to serve and calm those on a plane, you’re still given the ability to go to hundreds of new places and see everything that the world has to offer. I didn’t know you could actually attend a flight attendant school but I also understand that having the skills and knowledge to get the job done safely is important. I’ve been…more»

It’s officially the New Year and from what I’ve been reading, everyone is hoping to stick to their resolutions. I came across a few blogs today where people were listing the pretty common ones. They’re looking to lose weight, quit smoking, try harder at school or work, try out a new hobby at the first of every month, and so on and so forth. The ones that blew me away – however – was a women talking about saving some extra money for special things this year. At first that didn’t really say anything different to me considering it’s a…more»

When it comes to running a business, even if it’s primarily Internet related it’s hard to keep track of all of the paperwork. Each client has their own file and I have numerous notes and contracts that I need to keep track of at any given time, especially when I need to pull up someones file for quick work. I keep everything from billing information, login information, contact information, a step-by-step listing of everything I’ve done or need to do for them. All of the folders are organized, color coded and tabbed for easy browsing. I keep both a digital…more»

If you’re in need of some sort of storage solution for your home or business, then I have to recommend that you look into Steel Buildings. They can be used to house everything from a personal garage to livestock. Many people use steel buildings for cattle, horses and other farm friends to offer them protection from the outside elements. There is also the option of having them for residential use, you can turn them into a garage, storage shed and even a workshop. Or you can add one as an addition to your home. Going one step further they can…more»
