The Only Question You Need to Ask to Become Rich

So, you have some money burning a hole in your pocket. What you want to know is how do you play the money game to win? I mean really win. Like become a millionaire kind of win without the hype, the realest investments and the other late-night infomercial programs you’ve seen.

The first thing to do is to stop and ask yourself the primary question that every wealthy person has ever asked themselves to get them moving toward financial stability: “What do I really want from life?” If you don’t know what you want from life, how will you know whether or not the item you want to buy is something you really need? Remember, you work hard for your money, so you want to make every cent count. You want every dime that you spend to be worth the amount of life energy you spent in accumulating it, right?

I want you to have as much happiness as you can get throughout life, and the wise use of money is a major factor in how happy we feel. Yet at the same time I want you to be able to save enough money to meet your future expenses, while avoiding the feeling that you have to exist in a lifelong state of deprivation. So, how do you balance all these things?

This principle is so simple that most people miss it. Know exactly what you want out of life. That’s it. Figure out where you are going and what you need to get there, and then only spend your money on things that will help you move along the way.

Let’s take an example. Say you have $10 in your pocket. One day you find yourself at the mall with some friends, and they decide that they want something to eat. You go along because you enjoy their company, even though you’re not very hungry yourself. What’s the best thing for you to do with your money? Buy lunch anyway and then leave most of it on the plate, or have a glass of water while you chat with your friends as they eat? What is the primary point of being with your friends? Is it to spend time talking, laughing, and enjoying their company, or is it to spend your hard-earned money?

In most cases we are actually seeking the companionship and not the cooking. So be conscious about what your real needs are in life, and you will keep more of your money. By asking yourself the quick question “What do I actually want?” when faced with a possible purchase, you quickly lead yourself down a path of reasoning that shows you how to best spend – or keep – your cash.…

Buying a home used to require a lot of leg-work.  Even to rule out a listing you felt lukewarm about, you would need to go in person to see what the property was like.  The internet has turned this travel-heavy purchase process into a breeze.

According to one nationwide study, almost 10% of businesses suffered from major crime or theft issues in 2016 alone. That study covered just over 1,000 businesses, however, so the actual annual estimate is likely much higher. The concept of running and operating a brick and mortar (B&M) business today can be a source of anxiety for the novice entrepreneur. But offline sales shadow online sales ten times over and offline business growth practically triples industry-wide online growth. Unlike online businesses, however, physical businesses often need a security expert to evaluate and improve their security plan for optimal future growth. Security guards are often part of that plan… even if theft hasn’t been an issue in the past. But why should you consider hiring a security guard for your business?

Human Deterrent to Crime

Serious crime actually begins long before that act is attempted. Scouting, planning, and adjusting to various weaknesses the business provides are all part of the game in high stakes theft. But even petty and recurring theft plans can take some serious planning. The last thing any successful business owner wants is to make crime easier on the behalf of potential criminals, but it’s not just external crime you have to consider. Employee theft costs American businesses over $50 billion annually. That’s definitely not pocket change. Signs, video, and structural elements are essential parts of the security package, but they have their limitations. A security guard, however, provides a human deterrent that can stop thieves in their tracks and/or redirect them to easier targets.

Improve Customer Service

Security guards can do a lot more than provide a warning to potential deviants. They can also improve customer and client satisfaction with your business as well. A security guard can limit access to off-limit or dangerous areas. The guard can provide directions to lost or confused customers so they can efficiently complete their transactions. And a security guard can provide a safe escort in a dim lit lot or to their mode of transportation. Such simple extras go a long toward customer contentment. And as every successful business owner knows, a happy customer is a repeat customer.

Increase Business Production and Productivity

Keeping a security guard on staff can help quell worries with customers and employees alike. Employees can work more efficiently and with more confidence in their own responsibilities without constantly spying on customers. Potential workplace dangers from outside sources are reduced with the additional human deterrent. Keeping a security guard on staff also makes a clear statement to customers and clients that you not only care enough about your business to ensure everyone’s safety but that your business is successful enough to incorporate that level of security as well.

Stop Potential Violence Or Destructive Behavior

Alcohol, medications and existing anger issues can create a turbulent environment for employees and customers… neither of which may be equipped or trained to handle the potential outburst or conflict. A well-trained security guard can recognize the threat, target the intruder, …

Maintenance

Contract

Make sure to advocate for your needs with this one. If you’re only in need of the unit for a month, you shouldn’t need a six-month lease. If you aren’t quite certain how long you’ll need the space, try to find a lease that has some flexibility, like a month by month payment plan, or a pre-payment plan in which you can get a percentage of your money back if you need to end the lease early.…

Using a sophisticated network, compute, and storage infrastructure, a data center is a building that offers shared access to applications and data. Data center facilities and infrastructures are designed, built, and maintained with the help of industry standards, which guarantee the data’s security and high availability.

You can choose from different types of data centers. These include large enterprise data centers, micro data centers, and smaller edge data centers. These facilities typically have redundant components. There are several different reasons to use these facilities.

Large enterprise data centers

The need for large enterprise data centers is high. With data growing faster than ever, organizations need a reliable and secure location for storing and processing data. These centers are essential for business continuity, competitive advantage, and optimal user experiences. In addition, they must be environmentally friendly. Businesses should partner with a trusted provider to make these centers a worthwhile investment.

Data centers are the digital factories of the connected age. They process enormous amounts of data, which requires a lot of energy to move. 

Micro data centers

There are many questions to consider when deciding on a data center. Choosing one with the appropriate space, power, and cooling is essential. The density of a facility is also an important factor. Having a facility with a higher density will be more cost-effective than a smaller one.

When comparing data centers, you should look for those that offer 24/7 availability. They should also provide adequate resources to assist with monitoring operations and troubleshooting. In addition, you should look for data center partners that offer staging areas and diagnostic equipment.

Smaller edge data centers

Edge data centers are facilities located near the end users of applications, designed to provide latency, bandwidth, and quality of service requirements. Edge data centers are a relatively new concept, but they are growing in popularity due to their advantages.

These facilities can provide low latency for 5G and other use cases that require fast updates. While this type of data center is typically associated with gaming, it also finds increasing usage in other areas. Another growing area for edge data centers is the advancement of artificial intelligence. Developing these artificial intelligence systems requires fast access to data and processing to be effective. Edge data centers meet these requirements by ensuring network consistency.

Data centers with redundant components

Redundancy refers to duplicating components and functions within a system.  For example, a two-node UPS system has two units for every one-node power supply. The other will take over and keep the data center running when one fails.

Redundancy is vital to data center availability, reliability, and performance. For these reasons, data centers with redundant components are often considered Tier II facilities. These data centers offer redundant cooling and power components, better maintenance features, and a higher margin of safety in case of equipment failure.

Those with fault-tolerance

The concept of fault tolerance is significant in data centers because that allows software programs to recover when equipment fails gracefully. Fault tolerance …

Working From Home: Organization Is Key!

One of the best things about working as a writer is the fact that you are able to do so from anywhere in the world, providing that you have something to write with. However, most writers still find that they need somewhere that they are able to store all of their materials, as this means that they know where to look when they need to find something. It is very easy to suddenly find yourself surrounded with bits of paper that you’re not even sure if you need, so it is therefore important to make sure that you spring clean your work space every so often.

The first thing that you need to do is to work out what you need to keep and what you don’t. You should make sure that you keep everything to do with the financial side of your writing, as these are things that you may need to refer to later, but there are often lots of pieces of scrap paper that you’re able to simply get rid of.

If you are registered as self employed, then it is vital that you keep good records of every payment that you receive. To do this, you could buy a box file that is specifically for this purpose, and you would then be able to keep everything in date order, which means that you could easily find information when it is needed. It may help to buy a shelf, as this means that you would be able to place a number of files upon it, and it would be out of the way of your working space.

If you keep money in your office, then you should make sure that you have a safe. This is the best option to prevent your money from being taken, and it can sit in the corner of your office without taking up too much space at all.

Being hygienic is vital, as things like surfaces and keyboards can attract a lot of dirt. You should make sure that you wipe these down regularly so that you keep on top of the cleaning before it gets too much for you.

Once you have done this, you should find that you are now in the perfect environment to carry on with your work. You will be much more productive, and this will show in the quality of your writing and your mood whilst you are working.…
