Write You - Maximum Cardio
The percentage of companies offering health insurance dropped to approximately 60 percent in 2004, down 3 percent from the previous year. Most U.S. companies that do not offer health care benefits cite rising costs as the determining factor. On average, health insurance premiums rise between 9 and 11 percent or more on an annual basis. The result is a slow but steady decline in the availability of traditional employment-based health care coverage.The majority of businesses who dropped health insurance coverage have less than 100 employees. 98 percent of larger companies with 100 or more employees offer health care benefits.The cost of health insurance was the deciding factor for most companies, with some businesses reporting that they had to few employees to negotiate with insurance companies for lower rates. The increasing competition from businesses in foreign countries has forced some U.S. companies to eliminate traditional health care coverage in favor of limited health care benefits for employees. Employers have been forced to pass more of the cost of health insurance coverage on to employees, with the smaller companies being unable to afford coverage at all.It is estimated that insurance premiums rose this year by an average of 9.2 percent nationwide.

MAXIM 1: Your body type and goal for training will dictate the type, frequency, and length of your cardio
When your goal for cardio is general health, you have a few decisions to make about what type of cardio you will perform. Many people enjoy taking long, slow runs. Enjoying cardio is important, so if you find an enjoyable method of cardio, there is no reason why you should discard it. The same decision should influence your choice for timing. Many people claim that you must perform cardio first thing in the morning and/or on an empty stomach to see maximal benefit. I disagree. If you have trouble waking up or putting a full effort into morning cardio, and will get a much more vigorous workout in the evening, then why not do it then? Perform cardio when you feel the best, when you are ready and know you will stick with it and give it 100%.
MAXIM 2: Find cardio that you enjoy, and do it when you feel you have the most energy
There are many styles of cardio. There is some debate about what cardio is best for you. People preach about training in the “zone” of a particular heart rate for maximum fat burning benefit. While it is true that your body will utilize more fat for energy during this period, this is not the entire picture. Moderate cardio means your body will recover quickly - your heart rate will return to normal within a short period. Intense cardio, which elevates y
Before we start discussing the Wonderful World of Marketing I would like to share an idea with you. Well, this is more of a principle than an idea. It's the principle of the structure of Marketing primarily the broad definition of Marketing and how it applies to small businesses as well as Fortune 500 enterprises.The idea for this issue was bouncing around in my mind for more than 10 years after a conversation I had with a software company where I was serving as the VP of Business Development. The conversation was around business planning and Marketing.We were developing the business plan and the subject of the day was Sales and Marketing, especially the hires and structure of the departments. The CEO that I was talking with was an ex Big Business (Fortune 500) executive with an old fashion look on business planning and Marketing. We got a bit stuck on what was marketing and how we would structure the departments.The problem was simple. The CEO wanted to have a Marketing Department and a Sales department. He wanted them to be different cost centers, different departments running independently from one another. I wanted to have one department working together under one cost center. I thought the concept was simple and the decision very easy. I was wrong, very wrong.What I considered a very easy decision stretched into an argumen

So you've got your website all set up. You know what you're promoting and it's looking good. You know you need to advertise and promote as much as possible to actually get your website seen. You've tried the normal avenues such as classified ads, safelists, ffa's. etc, but now you're ready to try something else, right?There IS another way of getting free advertising. It's called Bartering. It basically means to exchange goods and/or services without using money. Bartering, also known as Trading, Exchange or Ad Swapping comes in all shapes and sizes. Many small sites use banner exchanges as a way to reach more people. Ezines often swap sponsorships in an effort to gain more subscribers etc. The terms of a trade are usually only limited by the creativity of those taking part. The main consideration is to make sure it ties in with the goals of the site. Also, making sure that everybody involved has a clear understanding of the agreement details. Here's a list of 5 different ways to "ad-swap" for free. Reciprocal Links: Basically, this is where 2 sites agree to show a link to each other. This can work wonders for search engine ranking, so long as the site you swap links with is relevant to your site. To find potential linkswap partners for free, do a search on say www.google.com for sites similar to yours. Mail the webmas

One of the best books you will ever discover to help you grow your business is Doug Hall's 'Jump Start Your Business Brain'. It is an underground classic that is absolutely wonderful advice - it is the book that helped me break free of mediocrity into a life I absolutely love.One of his biggest points in the book is how you can create a company that is *dramatically different* than any, and every, competitor in your marketplace.It doesn't sound easy at first.Honestly, how many hairdressers or dry cleaners or grocery stores are there in your city that are DRAMATICALLY different?Few and far between.In fact, it appears to me that most business owners lose all sense of creativity when they start their business.The typical process they go through?Look at what all their competitors do, where they advertise, the types of advertisements they run, the marketing materials they use, the web sites they have... and then they COPY everyone else.Open your yellow pages for proof... in house painting or carpet cleaning... what is DRAMATICALLY different? Or any section for that matter.How do you create a dramatic difference in your business? And why should this be considered important?First, having a dramatic difference gives you a 353% better chance of succeeding (based on thousands of business success stories

Many Investors Lose Money On Their Rental Properties. Sometimes Without Realizing It.Here is a typical rental scenario:Mortgage payment going out: $1,100 per month. Rent coming in: $1,200 per month. This gives you $100 a month in positive cash flow. Or does it? On paper it looks good, but if you analyze the big picture and take into account your entire cost to own that rental property, you are losing money in a big way. Let's analyze those costs over the period of a year:Holding costs. Let's say it takes three months to find a tenant for your property. 3 months mortgage payments down the tubes: $3,300Spend marketing dollars to attract a tenant: $500. Yard signs, newspaper ads, flyers etc...Termite treatment: $150. Just the annual treatment, not to set up a bondLandlord's Insurance: $350. This is a conservative estimate. It could also be included in your mortgage paymentCleaning the property after the last tenant moved out: $350. This is if they did not trash the property. Carpet cleaning, touch up paint, drive way powerwash, mowing, trash removal etc...The water heater went out in February and you had to replace it: $400. I don't know about you, but I had years where this happened, as well as the AC went out, the carpet had to be re
To better understand this, let’s consider a situation where you burn 200 calories during exercise. You have a choice: you might burn those calories walking at a brisk pace and reading a book, and it will take you 1 hour. Or, you might burn those calories performing short sprints followed by periods of moderate jogging, and you will burn those calories in 20 minutes. While the “hour” cardio kept you in the “zone” for fat burning, guess what? The 20-minute cardio elevated your heart rate and took you into an anaerobic zone where your body accumulated an “oxygen debt” - a need for oxygen and fat burning to help flush waste from your system and recover from the intense exercise. So during a 24-hour window, you will burn MORE than the 200 calories, and therefore be closer to your fat loss goal.
While there is no hard, scientific evidence to support this next maxim, I truly believe in it. I have witnessed this not only in my own transformation, but also with countless others as well.
MAXIM 3: The less time it takes to burn the same amount of calories, the more calories you will expend later that day
This maxim may seem confusing, but it’s very simple. It means that if you are going to burn 200 calories, when you burn that 200 calories in 20 minutes instead
