Do you go through the same slump every year? It begins somewhere in November. Your business slacks and you realize that your income is going to come way down at the very time when you want to be spending and buying. You get sad and then you get scared and before you know it, you're in a full blown depression. Somehow the thought, "Desperation doesn't sell" finds a way into your already crowded brain. How can you turn this around, or better yet, nip it in the bud? Here is a way to survive, even thrive this Holiday Season: Think outside the box: Here's an example: It's Tuesday afternoon and I'm giving a coaching session to one of my clients, Sandy. I ask her how she is doing and she admits to...

iLearning Global's David Wood has impressed the multi-millionaires in this industry with his impactful launch as a online network marketer. I've had the opportunity to be mentored by David and its changed my outlook on how online network marketing should be approached. One of the main suggestions he made was this: The internet is the quickest route for any network worker to create the numbers in order to find those 5-10 leaders that will build for the next 5-10 years with your company. Even though he sponsored 200 people personally into his company the last 4 months, he has found those leaders that he is now exclusively training and spending his personal time on. See this is a huge mistake most...
How to arrange the time for you internet business ? Time is precious these days and time is money is another saying that you may hear in the business world and as far as sayings go both of these are true. Most people go into running a home based or internet business not realising the time it can take up and other times we will believe those ads telling us how much money we can make by only spending 30 minutes a day on our business and then we can just watch the money rolling in. In some of the internet marketing systems genuine and legal ones this can be the case BUT in all of these cases the 30 minutes a day is what is spent after the business has been set up what the systems dont say is how many...
Children, Household Chores and Entitlement
Copyright (c) 2008 Simplified Spaces A common mistake that parents make when delegating household chores to children is remunerating children for their efforts around the house. The reasons for offering money to children to complete chores can stem from a desire to reward children for a good job or to even bribe them to do chores without fuss. Regardless of the reason, the outcome of this practice can negatively impact children's understanding of themselves, their place in the world and their internal belief system. The dramatic shift in culture between the 1960s and the 1970s ushered in a new wave of parents who largely believed that letting "kids just be kids" and relieving them of many of the...
Career Change - Why Culinary?
> Most culinary colleges and cooking schools nationwide report that an increasing number of students are older adults with prior careers. Whether fulfilling lifelong dreams or trying something different, the old students are attracted to the wide variety of jobs in food service and to the possibility of success in an industry the National Restaurant Association projects will need an additional 1.8 million workers in the next 10 years. A recent survey concludes that fifteen percent of this year's freshman class at The Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, N.Y., are career changers or are those who previously studied subjects other than hospitality.

Choosing the Best Hospitality Industry Training...
The hospitality industry has traditionally been a workplace with high staff turnover. Being seasonal and involving shift work, hospitality jobs are popular with students and travellers. As far as hospitality industry training is concerned, the key, often, is to have system in place that requires minimum training of transient staff. But that only puts more weight and responsibility on your permanent staff, and the need to train and retain them is even more important. The hospitality industry in Australia is one of the leading employers in the country. There is a wide array of training facilities and opportunities, and training and qualifications are regulated by government, and must adhere to...

The coolest new drinking game to come out of college life is called "icing." It consists of the "icer" purchasing a Smirnoff Ice and presenting it to the "icee" in a funny/surprising/interesting way. The "icee" then needs to get down on one knee and chug the Smirnoff Ice while everyone in their immediate proximity chants "you got iced." Since becoming aware of Icing a few weeks ago I have begun to notice that it is incredibly hard to find Smirnoff Ice anywhere. Bar tenders can't sell it fast enough and gas station just flat out don't have it. I have also witnessed Icings in every public setting from a college graduation party to a professional baseball game. It has become such a mainstream...
Should I Tip My Movers?
Tipping is often customary in most labor or service industries. A few occupations that quickly come to mind where tips are given are to waiters/waitresses, hairdressers, masseuses, bell hops, bar tenders and people who deliver pizza. While these jobs are intensive in their own way, being a mover is physically demanding. In the summer they will easily walk up to several miles a day while carrying hundreds of pounds of furniture up and down stairs in over a hundred degree weather. These guys definitely earn every bit of that tip they're hoping to receive. Tipping is usually divided equally among the members of the moving crew. Unlike the example occupations above, it's not expected to tip the...
Reports from around the world show the increasing demands for nurses. Internet posts, newspaper ads, television advertisements and many more reflect the said needs. However, in the Philippines it doesn’t seem to be true. Foreign countries are indeed posting nursing job vacancies but the requirements to obtain such position are too much to invest for such a third world country with great nurse productivity. In the Philippines, the nursing manpower’s supply and demand is not helping individual’s professional and personal growths. More and more, nursing universities and colleges are building, and the number of nursing graduates and registered nurses are inclining. Nevertheless, if there is a...
Mediterrenean recipes by Margarita Lachef Tapas It is well known that tapas originate from Spain. They are appetizers and snacks, usually bite size, served with a drink. The translation of tapa is a lid, and derives from the verb "tapar" to cover. Image via Wikipedia The story of the origins vary – from King Alfonso decreeing that all farm workers should be given a tapa to keep their strength up during the long working day, to bar tenders giving a tapa to cover the glass of wine or sherry in order to keep the fruit flies away. The tradition exists to this day. One of my favourite tapas is croquetas – here is a croqueta recipe with a difference! Vegetable Croquetas 1 cup of green lentilsl sweet...

There are a number of situations when wrist bands can be very helpful for crowd control. Whenever there is a large event, and a large number of people who attend and pay admission, these bands can be most helpful for a number of reasons. For instance, there are many clubs that serve alcohol that allow minors to come inside. The important thing is that the club has some sort of system in place to identify the minors so that they will not be allowed to purchase alcohol. One of the most common things that club owners do is to purchase wrist bands of a certain color to identify guest status. For instance, all minors could be issued red or hot pink wrist bands, while all other patrons of legal drinking...
Most people that go shopping for shoes, think that the only criteria involved in shoe shopping are style, fashion and price. They look at the colors, they look at the style and they look at the price and zero in on a particular pair of shoes. They want to ensure that the shoes they buy will match the clothes they have or that they will be appropriate for the specific party or function that they plan to wear them to. And of course, they want to make sure they can pay for it. And that is about it. But what they do not realize is that a pair of shoes that does not provide sufficient arch support or sufficient cushioning for their heels can end up causing so much stress on the thick tissue that extends...
Ever heard of a Cult Manager? No - but you have heard of a cult leader, right? Were Patton, Montgomery and Churchill managers or leaders? I have been a leader in various area in my life, including religious, military, business, community, service clubs and sales. I encountered very few real leaders, but I would like to tell you about two of them to illustrate a point. I encountered both of them while I was a manager in the hotel industry. Arthur Honey was an ex pro boxer and businessman extraordinaire. He owned the hotel that I managed. One morning I was eating breakfast with my family when I saw Mr. Honey (one would never call him "Arthur") go by carrying a table. Next thing he was carrying chairs...

Dining Tips For Travelers
Eat before you get to the airport as food prices in the departures section are much higher than what you might expect. Restaurants listed in local phone books are divided according to type of cuisine, so you can easily find an Italian or French restaurant.

When traveling, try to eat healthy, stay away from buttered, fried, creamed, scalloped, sugary, rich food and stick to grilled red meat, poultry and fish, eggs, fruit, vegetables, nuts, yogurt, milk, cereals, low-fat bread. Do not skip meals in order to avoid eating oversized amounts of food. Avoid large meals before bedtime. If you are a vegetarian or on a certain diet...

Margaritaville Blenders Make the Best Frozen...
If you have ever had a party, you know how difficult that it is to pull off the perfect frozen drink. The blender is a mess; the drinks are poorly blended, and the ice is not as good as you would get in a restaurant. If it were not for the fact that your guests are smashed, it would be a real disaster. But, if you are a serious host, you need to consider adding a Margaritaville blender to your frozen drink tool chest. Quality Does Not Come Cheap Margaritaville Blenders are pretty expensive; but, then again, a restaurant quality blender is worth a little extra. In addition to being quite durable, the machine has two motors for shaving and blending ice. After seeing the machine and tasting the results...

How to Mix a Cocktail
When I did bar tending in Dallas, I learned the different ways to mix a cocktail. Here are four of the most common: Stirring: This is the easiest method. Simply use a metal or glass rod and stir the drink in a mixing glass. If ice is required, use cubes and strain the contents into a glass once condensation appears on the surface. Shaking: A drink that includes eggs, cream, or fruit juices must be shaken. Put the drink in a shaker and fill it 3/4 of the way with ice cubes. Put a hand on the top of the shaker and one on the base, and give it a quick, snappy shake. The cocktail is adequately chilled and shaken when water begins to condense on the surface. (Most shakers come with a strainer; if the...

From being a simple average earner employee, they have become millionaires working in the comfort of their homes. And then you think to yourself, It sounds so easy - I can do that. Then you start duplicating what these people have done. You would seem to be succeeding at first, but after a while you notice that your copied method is not sustaining your business. So, you ask yourself why. What went wrong? What did you do wrong? You are smart, intelligent, may even have a degree, but still did not make it? Does this mean that other people who do not even have masters or Phd's...

Can My Caterer Be My Event Planner?
Increasingly the answer to this question is yes. If your caterer is busy, it means they're busy working in a whole host of venues in the city, dealing with decor, rentals and staffing- everything that is needed for an event. Responsibility Making your caterer your event planner puts the responsibility for your event under one roof- It keeps things simple. Caterers are organization fanatics, if they've been in business for any length of time they have to be. They're trained to think of everything because though they've seen a lot, they haven't see it all. They expect the unexpected and can always devise a workable solution. Generally speaking, responsibility is synonymous with liability. Whomever...
Ideal Graduation Gifts
Graduation is an event that needs to be commemorated no matter what the occasion. Whether it is high school, college, evening class, beauty school or bar tending academy - it is a rite of passage that honors those that have put in a lot of work and are now ready to use that knowledge in the real world. With this in mind I think the most ideal gifts are those that mark the occasion. Yes, they may like a big check, a car or a European trip but even if you give them something like that you should also give them something that shows you are proud of them. Personalized gifts can be a nice way of showing your appreciation. Perhaps a leather portfolio or a photo frame with a picture of them in their...

Utah has one of the fastest growing wedding industries in the entire country; the high number of couples married each year in the Beehive state has given rise to countless wedding vendors including photographers, caterers, reception venues, florists, and so on. While all aspects of your wedding day are important, perhaps there is one that can truly make the experience for all your guests one to remember: the food. Too often engaged couples give too little thought to the food that will be served at their impending wedding reception.

Why Cruise Ship Careers Are More Rewarding
re this: living on board a luxurious cruise liner, working and traveling the world as well, meeting a whole lot of people from different countries while having great fun with them, experiencing the spectacular views of the ocean, and getting paid for doing all of these things? Cruise ship careers that is what you call it. Some people are so jaded of the fact that you can get a wonderful job, have fun, and be paid well all together. They find it quite impossible to have all of these in one job. They would say it is either you get two of the good things and leave one hanging somewhere else. Worst, you do not get any of it at all, but would rather stay because you have no choice or think that the...
A Good Horse Racing Tip That Won't Lay an Egg
A man walks into a bar with a duck on his head. The bar tender strolls over and says, "Can I help you?" "Yeah," the duck says, "Who do you think will win the third race at Saratoga?" The bar tender gets a conspiratorial look on his face and speaks in a hushed voice, "The chicken at the end of the bar knows the jockey on the 4 and says it can't lose." The duck looks down at the man and says, "You hear that? The 4 in the 3rd at Saratoga." The man with the duck on his head rushes out of the bar to tell all his friends that a certain duck gave him a hot tip in the 3rd race. A week later the same man walks into the bar with a chicken on his head. The bar tender strolls over and says, "Hey, what happened...
The basic rule of business is to maximise your profit by reducing costs, increasing sales & charging the maximum amount for your product or service that the market will bear. The customer will unconsciously make a decision whether the price charged is good value if the product or service meets or exceeds the customer's expectations. So it makes sense when designing a bar that the outcome reduces costs, promotes sales and adds value to your product or service that meets or exceeds the customer's expectations. A client of Hot Concepts (Australia) Pty Ltd had a bar that was doing 7 kegs a week. The Bar was 19 metres long and poorly laid out. If you walked up to the bar and ordered a beer & a mixed...

Cheap prices are also an advantage, but the number one reason for the perfect bar is comfortable restaurant bar stools.

Assassin's Creed II
The fellowships of assassins return. The anticipated release of Assassin's Creed 2 is a double edge sword for its Ubisoft developers. The expectations are extremely high for the sequel of the game that sold more than 8 million copies when it first came out. Contrary to the first Assassin's Creed, which is about Altair (an all-white dressed killer operating in the Holy land in the 12th century), the sequel is based on his offspring, Ezio Auditore, a young Italian noble who joins the fellowships of assassins more by coincidence than by choice.

One of the most important skills that any guy can pick is how to flirt with women.

Apartment with a view Anthony, a business improvement consultant, has developed a number of successful business improvement models. He met Alice, a realtor, at an outdoor event; Alice was most taken by one of his sales models.

Nine Networking Tips for Success
When you enter the networking mixer do you feel like you have a two-foot perimeter of open space surrounding you? Everyone seems to be comfortably settled into clusters as they socialize unaware of your presence. You try to make eye contact but you don't recognize anyone. You search for the bar. Even though you're not thirsty, having something in your hand might make you appear to be festive and casual. Walking determinedly across the room makes you look powerful, you hope. Time stands still. You make idle chat with the bar tender, waiting to be rescued from this miserable time warp. Even though you were hoping to make business contacts, you're not sure about the approach. Let's face it, you...
We've all seen people at the race track or OTB mumbling to themselves or sometimes even talking right out loud. I have to admit that when a horse I have bet that seems like an absolute sure winner dies in the stretch or the jockey seems to be taking a nap, I mumble under my breath, too. Betting on horses will make you a little crazy at times. I like to handicap the races alone, early in the morning when my brain is as sharp as it is going to get (no comments from the peanut gallery, please) and I can think without being interrupted. I often talk to myself a little as I handicap. I also take notes about why I feel a certain way about each horse in the race. Like they say, if you don't have an opinion...
From the veritable coffee to alcoholic beverages, it encompasses a lot of food! Some good and some dramatically detrimental to a dieting regime, for a weight loss program. Individually sifting through the gold dust of good beverages one can home in on tea and specially herbal or green tea! Also if one can classify some red wine as such, in moderation it can be a boon to a cardio diet. Just so as not to be deceived by the colour of the beverage, red is dangerous and liquor in the diet for a health perspective is only in moderation, otherwise the maniac value of liquor comes to the fore! Now all things green are natural and pure, that holds true for tea! Green tea, especially the herbal variety and...
Grooming Is For Every Man
At one time in history men were not, for lack of a better word, "into" grooming themselves other than getting their monthly hair cut at the local barber shop. Sometimes, if they wanted to spend the extra money, they would also get a shave as well. As time went on the focus for looking your best was still advertised in the media, but for women. Men were lucky if they saw an ad for shaving cream! Skip ahead to this time in history. Men are still shown commercials advertising shaving cream and razors as well. Wow, we've grown in the mind of the media - we're now seeing ads for razors! Not much of a difference from years ago! However, it isn't totally a washout for men. Over the past 10 years...

Top 10 Ways to Save on Catering Costs! The...
One of the biggest checks that you will cut on your wedding date will be on the cost of catering. Food and alcohol can really eat up your budget and typically accounts for roughly 40-50% of the overall wedding budget. That's hard to believe isn't it? To put it in perspective for you, think about going out for dinner, the cost of a medium size dinner for one at a major city such as New York is about $30 per person with tax & tip not including much alcohol, perhaps a glass of wine. If you take this number and multiply it by 200 people the total is about 6,000, not that scary yet. However it will be a bit more frightening when you add more then a glass of wine (2 or 3), a cocktail hour and a full...

My Anti-Aging Group at the Gym
My passion is health and wellness with a specialty in anti-aging; I want you to picture this, an aging male with a group of three aging women. We are all in the room at the gym that houses the tread mill, bikes, and rowing machines. It is usually during the morning. The machines all face the windows where the flat screen TV is. We all face the direction of the TV as we work out and interact. I imagine we are quite a site in our work out clothing. I am a wellness coach and they all know it. So from the time I arrive until the time I leave we all discuss our various pains and ailments, not the least of which is getting old. Now my usual gym partner is Donna, my favorite bar tender.

A Career in the Catering World
If you have ever considered a career in the Catering World then becoming a qualified Chef may be an exciting and rewarding career choice. Being a Chef is a way of life and an art form. You do need certain qualities to be successful, such as, a sensitive palate, creativity, good organisation skills, determination and the ability to be able to delegate.
