It was a 90-degree day, in late August. To make matters worse, it was a Friday around 4:30 PM. I was wet, dirty, tired and I was anxious to get home, knowing full well I had at least another hour to finish up. An elderly gentleman in coveralls, and an old and worn straw hat approached me as I came down the ladder. “Watcha’ doin,’ sonny?” he asked curiously. At that moment, it would have been easy to dismiss his inquiry and say something curt or rude.
Management Consultant Asks: Why Aren't You Earning Residual Income?
I want to say something quite clearly and emphatically, and ask you to repeat it to yourself a few times:MY COMPENSATION IS ENTIRELY ARBITRARY!For example, let’s say you write computer programs for a software company that packages your “code” into products that it sells to customers.You will probably be paid a salary, perhaps earn an annual bonus, and accrue some vacation time. You may also get some benefits, including a partially paid health plan.All of this seems so normal, so typical that you never question this menu of dollars and perks.

Medical Billing - Barcoding
For those of you who are involved in the medical billing industry and don't know what barcoding has to do with your job, hopefully, this installment on barcoding will give you just enough information to be informed and not so much as to confuse the stuffing out of you. Barcoding is kind of a behind the scenes process that ties in to your retail sales operation, if you have one.The medical industry has been shortchanged. No doubt about it.

When you follow the rules consistently in networking – combined with some skill - you win there, too!One of the rules that – when followed consistently – will work for you, is to network at the right location.
