Part 4 of Having Your Successful BusinessCongratulations! You have learned “how much pie” you want, how successful people talk, and what the best vehicle is to achieving your goals. In this final section, its time to discover why you haven’t started yet.The biggest thing that holds people back is fear. Fear can be defined like this: False Evidence Appearing Real.It can be comforting to know that each morning we wake that nothing unusual is going to happen.Wake up, go to work, come home, eat dinner, watch some TV, go to bed, and repeat.Nothing magical happened just then.

The ABCs of the S-Corporation
As small business owners, we all have at least two things in common when it comes to our companies: Keeping other people’s hands off our personal assets and paying the lowest possible taxes (this usually means having profits taxed on our individual tax returns.) That’s what the S-corporation is all about. While the limited liability company (LLC) is quickly taking its place, S-corporation benefits still do outweigh LLC benefits for many companies. But how do you know it’s right for you? Let’s take a look.What is an S-Corp Exactly?An S-corporation is basically a regular corporation (or C corporation) that decides to go with a special tax status. Forming an S-corporation lets you enjoy the limited l

Recently some televised sports events have begun using a system that makes billboards in stadiums appear to have ads they don't really have. The process is something like a digital version of chrome key, but it's much more powerful. In the next few years this technology will become even more powerful, and also considerably cheaper, opening up new opportunities for advertisers on the Internet, and raising a number of interesting issues in the process.

While broadcast media is subject to regulations requiring a clear separation between content and advertisement, no such restrictions apply to Internet based media. In addition, only a handful of films, like Citizen Kane, have contractual protection from any kind of after the fact modification of content. As a result, advertisers on the Internet will be able to integrate their product into programming to a degree not possible since the golden age of radio.

It may be limited to billboards now, but in a few years new digital video technology will be able to seamlessly a replace any product being used by an actor in a movie or TV episode, including items held or worn, even if the actor is moving. Given the revenue potential, it's only a matter of time before Hollywood starts making films that are designed to support digital post-production product placement, or virtual product placement. For instance, actors might simply drink soda from a solid color can, making it a simple process to overdub the image of a Coke or Pepsi can later. Using this technology, it will be possible to sell product placement permanently, or just for a specified time or regional market. Actors might appear to be drinking Coke in a movie when it was seen in Florida, but might appear to be drinking Pepsi to peopl

Advance Fee Fraud, Does it Take a Fool?
International Scams and the new MethodologySo you've heard about the Nigeria 419 scam, and about the Russian and Philippine brides-to-be scamming American and European men out of thousands. You're street smart, and you're not going to fall for some foolish game. You won't be sending money off to Africa. You wonder, how can anyone be so foolish, to send thousands of dollars off to Ghana, Nigeria, Russia, the Philippines, Colombia or South Africa, to someone they've never even met? All you need is a little common sense, you say. But, is it really that simple to prevent? Does it really take a fool?There are approximately 2 billion Internet users worldwide. Many have just recently discovered the

rtunities for advertisers on the Internet, and raising a number of interesting issues in the process.

Is Working 18 Hour Days Part of Your Business Vision Statement?
You've heard the sob stories.Seems like every business owner has his or her own story of working 18+ hours a day, seven days a week to get there business off the ground. If you get a group of business owners together, they all start moaning about how hard they work."I haven't had a day off in five years." one says."80 hours is a good week." another complains.Does it really have to be that way? Is that your business vision? The big question is, are you self-employed, or are you a business owner? They are not the same thing. If you are self-employed, your business depends on you.You are the person doing the work that brings in the money that pays the bills so that you can wo

on from any kind of after the fact modification of content. As a result, advertisers on the Internet will be able to integrate their product into programming to a degree not possible since the golden age of radio.

Six Ways to Succeed in Business
How many times have you encountered people in business and the image of the business or the person is so poorly presented it causes you to have a poor opinion of the services offered? It makes no difference if you are the owner or the employee; pride in yourself is evident in your daily dealings with people. Image is very important in business.Here are some of my suggestions for success: Dress for success. No matter what profession you are in, everyone has a dress code.

Nigerian Corporation Transcorp Explains Relationship With British Telecom
Transnational Corporation, on Tuesday, said that British Telecom had not pulled out of the technical services agreement between the two companies for the management of NITEL and its mobile subsidiary, Mtel.Transcorp acquired a 51 per cent stake in NITEL last year under the privatisation exercise handled by the Bureau of Public Enterprises.However, there were reports that BT had pulled out, citing unavailability of working capital to turn around the telecoms firms and the lack of adherence to corporate governance principles.But, the Head of Corporate Affairs, Transcorp, Mr. Adedayo Ojo, said in a statement in Lagos on Tuesday, that it was the first phase of the agreement with BT that had been

Internet based media will offer even more opportunities for advertisers than the theater. Since movies distributed on the Internet will already be in digital format, it will be relatively easy to insert digital tags in them to tell where to insert advertiser's products. For instance, a scene at a party might show six people drinking six different cans of soft drinks. Using a process somewhat similar that used to colorize movies, the movie's owner or distributor could have each of the six different cans digitally tagged so any or all cans could be offered for product placement. This digital tag would be a few lines of text telling where to put the product image, its spatial orientation, and size, added to each frame a product was to appear in. Like a layer in Photoshop, the tag could easily be edited or deleted as needed. Advertisers will only need to supply a Webcaster with a 3D image file of their packaging, in this case, a 3D image of a can of soda. Software the Webcaster will be using will do the actual work of inserting the product image into each scene as needed, on the fly.

The process of adding tags to enable product placement could be done either during the production of movies, or any time afterwards. Eventually, the vast library of Hollywood, from silents to current films, will be tagged and available for product placement. Granted
