			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The right growth business plan could be your answer. If a growth business plan is done the right way it may open up some opportunities you have never thought about before. A growth business plan can be developed many different ways but I would like to discuss a growth business plan that you may have never thought about.</p>
<p>Here is the way I would encourage you to set up a growth business plan:</p>
<p>• Do some dreaming about what you would like your lifestyle to be<br />
• By dreaming decide on an average income you would like to have over the next few years<br />
• Decide how many years out you would like your plan to cover<br />
• Decide how much profit you would like for your business to generate above the income you want for yourself.<br />
• Set up a profit and loss statement of your existing business or your proposed business<br />
• With the right business knowledge and a profit and loss statement you can actually use that data to see what your business would need to do for you to give you that income and profit<br />
• Even better you can determine what size market you would need and even determine whether your market would support your business presently and in the future.</p>
<p>To me a small business is one of the best things you can have if you enjoy operating a business; however, it does require a lot more than just enjoying ownership and running a business. Especially if you are starting a small business and even if you have had a business for many years, you should know what you want for your future. Never guess about your business. You see, without a plan, you are just guessing. We business people work hard and we always continue to hope for the best but when we guess, we&#8217;re taking a lot of risks. You&#8217;ve probably heard the old saying from an unknown author that says, &#8220;If you fail to plan, then plan to fail.&#8221;</p>
<p>As a matter of fact, did you know that the Small Business Administration says that 50% of small business owners will fail sometime during their first 5 years? There are lots of reasons but one big one is that owners don&#8217;t have a plan. Another is they have picked a product or service that doesn&#8217;t have a big enough market to sustain their business and sometime during their future they will run out of customers.</p>
<p>Now as I said, there are many other reasons too.</p>
<p>After graduating from college, I started out in manufacturing as an engineer in a pretty large company and now, 45 years later, retiring as a of Director of Manufacturing, I have discovered an awful lot about business. Not only did I learn and teach a lot about business, I worked with small business owners as well. I&#8217;ve learned that it comes down to this. Too many owners work hard in their business but less on their business.</p>
<p>Do you work on your business as much as you work in your business? Do you ever dream about having a good lifestyle but just haven&#8217;t quite figured out what to do about it. Have you ever thought about seeing what your business would need to do to give you those dreams? Developing a growth business plan could be the answer.</p>
<p>So, why should you make a growth business plan? Well in simple terms you need to know where you&#8217;re going and how and when you&#8217;re going to get there.</p>
<p>Some of the questions a growth business plan might ask you are:</p>
<p>- Are you comfortable that the market wants and is willing to buy your product or service?<br />
- Is your product or service priced so it is competitive in your market?<br />
- What&#8217;s different about your product or service? Why would a customer purchase it over someone else&#8217;s?<br />
- Is your market big enough to support your business? What about 15 years into the future?<br />
- If you wanted a better lifestyle, what would your business need to do to give you that lifestyle?<br />
- How much sales would your business need to generate to give you that income?<br />
- How much sales would your business need to generate to give you the income you want 15 years into the future?<br />
- What will be the cost of your labor and material?<br />
- What will your expenses run?<br />
- How much will it cost to overcome the capacity constraints that will occur as your business grows to meet your income requirements?<br />
- Will your profit give you the income you want in the future and at the same time maintain a healthy business for you as well?</p>
<p>If you develop a good Profit &amp; Loss Statement for your existing business for the current year or for the first year of your proposed business, you can use this data to actually project how much sales you would need to yield the income you want and the profit margin you want. You can plan ahead as far as you want. Sound impossible? It&#8217;s actually pretty simple and can be pretty accurate plan.</p>
<p>A plan like this would show you how much sales your business would need to do, what your fixed and variable expenses would be, what your material cost, labor cost and profit would need to be to provide the income and profit margin you want. You can see pretty quickly if it&#8217;s possible for you to get your business to that level. I don&#8217;t know of any better way than to have your business give you the income and profit you want. What&#8217;s neat is you can determine what you want your income to be and your profit to be over the next few years and develop a plan that can show you exactly what your business would need to do to give you that income and profit.</p>
<p>And with just a little more data you can actually determine how many customers you would need for each year you plan for and how many leads you would need. From that you can actually determine what size market you would need and whether your market is big enough to supply those leads that could be converted into customers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Trading is very much a global activity.  The world’s traders, from novice to professionals, descend on their computers and trade stations to take part in buying and selling the world’s commodities and companies.  The three Cs – currencies, commodities, and corporations – are bought and sold every second by millions of people around the world.  With this kind of global market, it is important to keep yourself in line with the rest of the world.Trading Education and ResourcesThe best way to maintain a global perspective is to learn from someone with experience.  Advanced trading techniques, tools, and strategies are readily available to the active trader.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the stock market crash a few years ago and the recession still currently crippling the American economy, we have begun to hear more and more about business brokers, even though they weren&#8217;t a main cause of the crash. The word broker is thrown around a lot lately, but does anyone know exactly what a broker does?</p>
<p>In many respects, a broker is a middle man who acts as an intermediary between a buyer and a seller to make the business deal smoothly. At the end of a sale, the broker takes a percentage of the money made during the deal as a trade off for their involvement. This is seen on a regular basis, particularly if you have ever sold your home or bought a new home &#8211; a real estate agent is an example of a broker.</p>
<p>In a specific sense, business brokers promise their clients a number of features that are standard to general good business practices when completing a business deal. These include a whole myriad of value-based rules like confidentiality, knowing the market value of products, advertising the sale of the business, negotiating the price with potential buyers and being an overall authority for any questions or concerns that need answering.</p>
<p>But as with the majority of other businesses, brokers are moving into the online landscape faster and faster by the day. The sale of websites is becoming a hot market for several business brokers, who are acting as a fiduciary for any potential deals between web entrepreneurs.</p>
<p>When choosing a business broker to help you sell a domain name on the internet, you will want to find someone who shares the same goals as you and understands exactly what you are looking for in a sale. </p>
