Build It And They Will NOT Come
It is a very risky business person who believes that the product will create the need. We may argue that IBM and Microsoft with the desktop PC and DOS and then Windows is the exception and, the internet is certainly in many cases creating a need. However, it could be argued that the need was waiting patiently dormant for the innovators to play catch up. In other words, Sci-fiction movies from the 50's through the 60's and TV shows like Star Trek had already created the need for high tech tool

A, get one. If you have one, pull it out and review it to make sure it accurately reflects your desires. If your Power of Attorney is several years old I recommend signing it anew because some institutions hesitate to accept a POA that is several years old.

For instance, one of my client’s in Oregon worked in a financial services office. One day a customer came in to complain. He had a Power of At

Resume Considerations for Radio Broadcasting
Are you looking for that dream job in radio broadcasting, well you are not alone and the competition is very tough indeed. In fact it is so tough and such an insiders game that it often pays to drop names into your resume. Also time at a station is important and also it makes sense to also list the stats for that station if they were significant or the amount of listener-ship growth during your tenure there. If you are seeking a job as a talk show host then you need to also consider that a de

Nothing brings home the importance of having our affairs in order than seeing the effects firsthand in your own family. My mother-in-law’s recent death means my family is dealing with the realities of settling her affairs. Her advanced-planning greatly simplified the process. And it will for you, too.

When her cancer returned, she had the wisdom and foresight to make sure that there would be proper access to her assets should she become incapacitated and that they would be easily transferred after her death. Those facing a terminal illness are motivated to address these issues. For the rest of us, they are often overlooked.

No one lives forever and mental capacity can quickly diminish, so it is important that you prepare now. Besides, these issues aren’t only for the elderly. One of my clients (an energetic, full-of-life 50 year old) was recently struck by an automobile and killed. Another middle-aged client developed a rare disease and lives in extreme, constant pain requiring heavy medication.

There’s no way to know when or if tragedy might strike, but there are several simple steps we can take to make sure these events don’t create a tremendous burden on ourselves or our loved ones.

A Power of Attorney (POA) allows you to control who manages your financial affairs when you can’t. Think about it. If something were to happen to you today, who would be able to pay your bills and handle your finances for you? If you don’t have a POA in place and up to date, it may be necessary for the courts to step in and name someone as your conservator.

If you don’t have a current POA, get one. If you have one, pull it out and review it to make sure it accurately reflects your desires. If your Power of Attorney is several years old I recommend signing it anew because some institutions hesitate to accept a POA that is several years old.

The Secret To Making Event Volunteers Like You
A couple of days ago I had a conversation with a volunteer, we'll call him Bob, in which he said, "I know online registration is the way to do it, I've used it at another organization, but they say we don't have the budget for it here, so we're doing it manually." Bob's chuckle at the end of this explanation was very telling. Free labour is a myth. Volunteers are in demand. Finding and recruiting these people takes time and effort and though there are no salary costs, there are expenses in co

For instance, one of my client’s in Oregon worked in a financial services office. One day a customer came in to complain. He had a Power of Attorney signed by his mother that was several years old. A bank would not accept it because it was not signed within six months. If your Power of Attorney is over one year old consider having it signed and notarized again.

What about the distribution of your funds after death? You can designate beneficiaries on bank and brokerage accounts using Payable on Death (POD) or Transfer on Death (TOD). After your death, the money will quickly and easily go to the beneficiaries you named. All your heirs have to do is present a certified copy of your death certificate, sign some paperwork and the funds are released. No attorneys, courts or probate.

Believe me, when someone you love has passed away, the last thing you want to do is deal with lawyers, courts and mounds of paperwork. And your loved ones shouldn’t have to. My mother-in-law took advantage of POD and it made life much simpler on her loved ones.

Speaking of beneficiaries, make sure that all of your retirement account and life insurance policy beneficiary designations are up-to-date. Often beneficiaries are named years or even decades before a person’s death. It’s easy to forget to update them as situations and circumstances change.

For instance, your financial situation could change for the better or the worse. Events such as a marriage, divorce, death of a spouse or a falling out with a child might cause you to want to change your beneficiaries. You may need to rethink a beneficiary based on changes in their lives, as well. They could be going through a divorce or become the subject of a lawsuit. The bottom line is to make su

Recently I was doing some weird kind of performance measurement when I was mulching my garden, like how could I reduce the number of shovels needed to fill the wheelbarrow, or how many wheelbarrow loads could I move in 30 minutes? Easy stuff to measure, I suppose. But I know there are lots of things you've come across that aren't that easy to measure. This article has some tips for making the hard stuff more easily measurable.
