PostHeaderIcon Books on Business, Law and Finance

There are many different categories when it comes to the areas of business, law & finance. These would include accounting, careers, economics, management, personal finance, professional finance, sales & marketing and even small business & entrepreneurship. Each one of these sub-categories has their own rules and obstacles that you need to face and overcome. But, you may be wondering:

o What types of books can I find about these categories?
o Are there books on biographies and the history of business, law & finance?
o Can I get information on e-commerce?

You can get all of this information and so much more. You will find that there are also books available for reference and education as well. A few examples are Memoirs of a Radical Lawyer, Outliers: The Story of Success, The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism and O C R Law for A S. These are all available plus many more for your educational and knowledge purpose. Of course, there are great authors that you can look for as well such as Steven D. Levitt, Richard H. Thaler, Larry McDonald and Glen Hutton. They have each written material in what they specialize in.

Looking At Your Personal Finances

Personal finance has a wide range of topics that could be of interest to you. Of course, this could be for either personal use or if you are trying to get into a profession to help people. There are many books that are at your disposal to help you learn how to manage your money better. This could be to plan for your retirement, get out of debt or just to learn how to invest to make some extra money. This could leave you asking questions.

o How do I learn about financial planning?
o Is there a way to organize for retirement planning?
o What is the best way to learn about stocks and shares?

Then there are other topics in this field that may interest you as well. Several books that are available are The Intelligent Investor, The Richest Man in Babylon, The Naked Trader: How Anyone Can Make Money Trading Shares, Rich Dad, Poor Dad, I Can Make You Rich and Currency Trading. These can all be great resources for information on learning how to do something in a specific field. They have all been written by authors that feel they have something special to say. Other authors that have written great material are John Maynard Keynes, Catherine Dawson, Roger Lowenstein and Barbara Rockefeller. They talk about property development and day trading as well.

The Many Faces of Law

Learning the law can seem like an endless road that never has a stop sign. However, there are a few specific categories that people are interested in when it comes to law. These include but are not limited to General AAS, English, International, European Union (EU), Scots Law and For the Layperson. Of course, you will also be able to find encyclopedias as well that can help with the definition of certain terms and aspects that have you stumped.

o What types of books can I find?
o There are several different ones that I can get?
o Are there people that I can talk to about the information available?

You may be wondering these things and many more. There are several different books that are available on this topic. These include but are not limited to The Idea of Justice, EU Law: Text, Cases and Materials, The English Legal System, Water Regulations Guide and A Q A Law for AS (A Level law). There are also wonderful authors on these topics as well. These include Hughes, Jacqueline Martin, Guy Blundell and Nicholas J McBride. These are people that have experience in their field of choice.

As you can see, there is an extensive list of categories and sub-categories for each subject when it comes to the wonderful world of law. Whether you are new to the field, student or a professional, you can have the opportunity to be able to learn from others during a group discussion on a book that everyone has read.

This gives you the opportunity to be able to ask questions, give answers to something that you know and to just share your opinion on something that you have read. Being able to participate in a group discussion is the perfect opportunity to be able to learn from others and get answers to something that you may have not understood in the book. Getting the opportunity to participate like this is a great way for people to share. Think of it as a group study like you did in high school or college. It can be a lot of fun while at the same time you are getting the chance to learn from others and maybe even teach something that you know about as well.

It is also the perfect opportunity to be able to learn about other books that you can read in your field of choice. Once you read one of those, you may be able to once again join in on a group discussion about that one as well and repeat the entire learning process. This can actually make the learning process a lot easier and simpler. It can also become something that you enjoy and want to participate in on a regular basis.

Joining in on a book club can also bring you new friends. It is a great way to meet people that have the same type of interest that you do so you have something in common and something to talk about. Who knows, it could be the new dating service. So, with all of the questions that you probably have on your desired topic, consider speaking with others that may have some of the same questions as you and will have other questions that may be of interest to you and others as well. It could be a lot of fun.

PostHeaderIcon Unsecured Small Business Loans – Good News – Stimulus Bill Allows SBA 90 Percent Guarantee For Loans



Anyone remotely involved with small businesses, whether as a consultant, lender, supplier, leasing specialist, trade association, or simply as a consumer who is tired of driving by sections of town and wondering why your favorite business unceremoniously threw in the towel, would very much like to hear some good news. Not to mention the small business owner itself. After all, there are 27 million small businesses that deserve to be thriving in this nation, but too often were ignored by the Bush administration. Classically non-complainers by nature, they just want a scrap of hope thrown their way. And I’m not talking about wide-eyed idealists looking for handouts-in all due respect to Emily Dickinson, they’re not looking for the”thing with feathers that perches in the soul”. Just give us a few bucks and we will run with it. This is a continuing article (20 in all) on the subject: Help. Is anyone out there loaning to small businesses anymore?

Fortunately there is a loan program out there and SBA lenders are actually making loans currently: the Community Express Loan Program. This gives unsecured small business loans between $5,000 and $50,000 with very little paperwork, answers typically in two days, interest rates presently at 7.75%, funding and two weeks, and monies wired directly to your business account. There are still lenders participating in this program, although Congress has failed to make the program permanent and still has a 10% cap on the number of loans.

Enter the Obama stimulus bill. Let us look how it affects this program and small business lending as a whole.

If you have tried to wade through the 1,100 or so pages of the new stimulus bill (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009), you know its like chipping through granite. But let me pull out a little gem. It now allows the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA to you) to guarantee up to 90% of loans made by private lenders under their program. Let me explain. This is great for Community Express.

When the Small Business Act was enacted in 1958, it had a very simple mission. Find a way to get loans to small businesses that couldn’t get them through traditional channels. It did this in an ingenious way. They knew banks where reluctant to loan to small businesses, especially startups, because of fear of failure. So the SBA collected a fee on each loan and used this as a fund to pay banks if there was a default. Bingo, there was invented the SBA guarantee fee. It doesn’t take a degree in rocket science from MIT and an MBA from Harvard to know this gives incentives to the banks to make more loans.

SBA loan programs have guarantees from 50% to 85%. Specifically, the SBA currently has an 85% guarantee on loans up to $150,000 and up to 75% on loans above $150,000. On the other hand, there are some programs that only go as high as 50%, including the Express Loan program (for those types of loans the new guarantee will not change). With the new stimulus bill, the SBA has the right to increase these fees to 90%.

Think about this for a moment. Simple math tells us more guarantee, the greater the likelihood of the bank making the loan. For goodness sakes, 90% is tapping on the door of a 100% guarantee! Also note the guaranteed portion is typically sold on the secondary market (which has recently shut down to almost nothing) so there is more chance for loans to be sold and more money to go back into the coffers of the banks for further lending.

Notice I said the SBA has the right to increase it to 90%. It can pick which program. And it has not occurred yet. But if I was a betting person, I would say they would be seriously looking at most of the programs because everyone is scraping for ideas to revive the economy.

For those addicted to primary source documents, this is what the new statute, in relevant part (my attorney wanted me to add that) says:

SEC. 502. ECONOMIC STIMULUS LENDING PROGRAM FOR SMALL BUSINESSES. (a) PURPOSE- The purpose of this section is to permit the Small Business Administration to guarantee up to 90 percent of qualifying small business loans made by eligible lenders.
(b) DEFINITIONS- For purposes of this section:
(1) The term ‘Administrator’ means the Administrator of the Small Business Administration.
(2) The term ‘qualifying small business loan’ means any loan to a small business concern pursuant to section 7(a) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 636) or title V of the Small Business Investment Act of 1958 (15 U.S.C. 695 and following) except for such loans made under section 7(a)(31).

There is also a sunset provision under Subparagraph (f) that the guarantees are only good for one year after enactment of the bill, unless extended by Congress.

So what does it do for me now as a small business owner? Well now the not so good news. I predict the SBA will be increasing many of its programs to 90%. But to get the banks in the lending mood again, there has to be a secondary market. There is also new legislation on that, which we will discuss in another article. But once we have a secondary market, I predict that they banks will not only loan, but do so in a big way. For three reasons:

First, history tells us when there is economic inactivity due primarily to depressed conditions, when the cycle changes for the better, like a sling shot affect, it changes dramatically. Remember when people were unable to refinance or purchase their homes because of tight markets and high interest rates? The rates went down and many jumped at the chance to refinance, improve their homes, and purchase (some say too precipitously) with abundance. Although this is an overstatement and also depends upon other factors such as employment, standards of living, etc., the analogy holds that when things loosen up, there will be a substantial number of business loans.

Secondly, banks are in large part in the business of making loans and they have not been doing so for some time. They will be anxious to make profits again.

Lastly, simple economics tells us when there is a vacuum in the market; capital will rush in and take advantage of that open market and initial lack of competition. Large banks are not making business loans so small community banks are starting to rush in to take over the arena. Give them a secondary market and they will explode.

So for the small business owner, I think this news of 90 % guarantees is favorable. Why did it take them so long?

PostHeaderIcon Bar Mitzvah

Do you have a 13 years old of son or twelve years old of daughter? If your son has reached the age of 13 and your daughter has reached the age of 12, that’s the time they should become bar mitzvah. At that time, we also should get them a party to celebrate which we called bar mitzvah party.

Celebrating bar mitzvah will mean so much for the boy and girl because it only comes once in a life. People will not always be 13 or 12, won’t they? That’s why bar mitzvah party will be so meaningful. The boy and the girl who celebrate their bar mitzvah party will know better that they have reached the age where they have become the boy or girl of commandments. In some case people also call bar mitzvah as bat mitzvah.

Bar mitzvah or bad mitzvah party will need many preparations. One of the preparations we should do is to prepare bar mitzvah invitations.  If you don’t know how to prepare all the things and don’t know what to do for bar mitzvah party, then you can ask My-Bar-Mitzvah.com for help. My-Bar-Mitzvah.com will help you with your planning of bar mitzvah party. All the thing will be well done if we deal with them.

PostHeaderIcon Success Blueprint – Article Marketing for Successful Business Development

Are you ready for massive success with your business online? Developing a business online means one thing – SUCCESS. There’s really not much of a way to fail online if you follow a proven blueprint and apply it to your business.

These steps are dedicated to successful business development, and I don’t want you to miss anything.

1. Get a professional email. Nope, that hotlips4charity (at) hotmail dot com won’t work. You’ll have to find a better choice than that, EVEN if you’re running a dating site. I would strongly suggest you use either your business name, your personal name, or you motto for your email contact information, because those simply sound more professional.

2. Get Paypal. Yes, you can do business online with some other source of financial structure, but quite honestly, paypal is more effective, more familiar, and more proactive. Everybody online knows what it is and uses it prolifically.

3. Get a website. Oh, of course you don’t have to have a website. You really don’t need a car either, but the bottom line is, if you want to succeed online, you’re going to want someplace to send readers. Get a Website.

4. Get an auto responder. Auto responders automate your business online. They literally remove most of the work from working online. You set it once, add to it when necessary, and let your readers do the rest.

5. Drive traffic. Oh yeah, that’s the important part. Last but not least, you MUST drive traffic to your website. Do you have piles of money? If so, you can buy leads and send them to your website. You can pay for click traffic. Or you can use some of that valuable time you save on the commute by working from home and write articles.

Are you ready to make money online?
