Author : Shaun ParkerBig Brother is everywhere I’m not talking about the channel four reality (if you can call it that) TV show, I’m talking about people watching your every move, your every word, your every action, your every reaction

CCTV is everywhere, which is a good thing, if only they improved the quality of the cameras so the authorities could actually make out a little detail on the faces of culprits Every phone call, text message, email, Twitter message and Facebook message is recorded; every debit or credit card transaction noted; every time you sit on the toilet seat, someone somewhere knows about it Well, not quite, but it’s heading that way

And on the increase is the use of vehicle tracking using GPS, so everyone who works from their car be warned - every time you pull over for a snack, smoke, snooze or slash your company will be able to tell exactly when, where, how often and for how long you stopped off Nothing is sacred!

The reasoning behind vehicle tracking is to lower costs, which may sound bizarre at the offset but when you think about operating a fleet of vehicles can be a huge cost for your business and during these difficult financial times companies may feel the need to drive down costs, and vehicle tracking can be a viable option to do this GPS systems can track vehicles to the second via real time multiple operators on maps covering the UK and Europe

Vehicle tracking can provide detailed reports including such information as journey history, idling time, details of journey, vehicle speeds, stop points, current location, travel events, full summaries and any other relevant information that can be customised to suit your business

Advantages from using vehicle tracking systems include: a reduction in operational costs through lower fuel costs, maintenance charges, lower insurance premiums and reduced communication costs; increased revenue due to improved productivity and vehicle utilisation; improved customer service by being able to notify exact location of vehicle; reduce the carbon footprint of your company by reducing idling and fuel useage through inefficient route planning

And of course vehicle tracking can increase the security of your fleet of cars - and added protection for your investment - as being able to locate your fleet 24 hours a day is an effective safety measure, enabling you to make sure that your drivers are safe as well as the cargo contained in the vehicles This will lower insurance premiums also Drivers of vehicles that use tracking devices also tend to have fewer accidents, as they are more aware of the speed with which they are travelling They also incur fewer speeding tickets

Employees may feel a lack of trust when being told about the implementation of vehicle tracking, and they would not be wrong in thinking that vehicle tracking is yet another method of invading privacy, yet the benefits of vehicle tracking are clear, which is why vehicle tracking is on the increase, even during these difficult financial times

And if vehicle tracking improves road safety, reduces CO2 emissions and improves the efficiency of businesses across the UK, then it isn’t a bad thing We’re not talking about ID cards here! After all, the technology is there so why not use it if it will improve our quality of life?Shaun Parker is a business analyst with many years of experience in fleet management.

Author : Peter KirkhamWanting to knock someone’s sock off by learning how to write a report?

During your business life there may be many business reports of various types that will need to compose & write Many of them will be written before your business is actually operating, so they’ll more than likely be included in your marketing plan

When first kicking off with a new business, you’ll need to know how to write a report that includes a number of key aspects They include accurate information about who your ideal customers are, the market, and your main competitors

This information will be of great benefit to you For example, if you’re going to operate in a business to business environment rather than selling to consumers, your report will need to focus on that specific area of business

A no brainer wouldn’t you say?

The same principal applies if you have a retail business selling to the end consumer only the report will be consumer based

Glad we got that sorted!

If you have an existing business, you may wish to improve your profits, attract more customers, lower your running costs, increase production, etc The basis of all decision making involved in any of these processes will be based on the information contained in a report

Learning how to write a report is a very worthwhile undertaking as without one, you’ll be running on adrenalin and animal cunning, particularly if you just starting out in your business Here’s some secrets from an old Indian fighter

Tips on How to Write a Report

* What is it going to address?
* Create a framework with the help of peers, employees & associates
* What position are you taking?
* Is there a specific item or issue you’re trying to research?
* Is it strictly an informational report only?

Some Key Issues

Generally speaking, a report will answer a question, address a problem, or promote a thesis This is an excellent way to think about & develop the context for a report

Do The Research

Researching & discovering articles supporting the view that you’re wanting to put forward in your report, is a great way to learn how to structure it & what to include It’s not uncommon that, whilst researching, for one to change tack on their initial view which can result in your original thesis becoming inaccurate

You have the option at this point to retain your thesis and argue for it, or alternatively, accept the stance of disapproval Reviewing case studies is an excellent form of research along with reviewing peer reviewed articles, news articles and so forth

The Layout

It’s best not starting the report until you have completed your research

Following a literature review, you will be in a far greater position in terms of knowledge of the topic, so you’ll be able to make a somewhat educated decision about how to write a report and what to include in it, prior to commencement

Here’s the general outline you can use -

* The introduction
* The question, a thesis statement or a research question
* A case study or literature review (what are the opinions of others, on the subject)
* Evaluation & analysis
* The summary or conclusion

Don’t forget to include all your sources of articles & information This will address two important issues, it will result in more credibility and help to guard against plagiarism

Most definitely, each & every quote MUST be supported its source

Based on the style in which the report will be written, you may wish to consider a bibliography or a clause containing the sources that you consulted or another option is to include end notes or foot notes

In my humble opinion

In a business report, the best way to document quotes and the sources that were consulted is via a “Sources Statement ”

In the fullness of time, you’ll learn a whole lot more about how to write a report which will then be based on experience rather than research A critical eye, constructive criticism & feedback are THE toughest ways to learn the skill, but are by far the best Author & small business owner Peter Kirkham has written a terrific collection of small business ideas & low budget marketing methods that show fellow small business owners how to increase profits & create a steady flow of new customers into their businesses… FOREVER.

Author : Ranju KumarEveryone looks forward to that big exciting day when you can say goodbye to your boss and say hello to your dream retirement It can be the most enjoyable, life enlightening experience in your whole life time or a horrible financial nightmare if one has not planned properly for your golden years

Many retirees are now experiencing one of the most disappointing times in their lives They have more time than money Why has that happened? Retirement is not what they expected The bills keep coming but the money to pay them is getting slimmer They ask themselves, “Did I retire too soon or what?” Or they may be saying, “I have enough money to live on but I need a little extra so I can play”

There are several possible causes for this sobering dilemma When a person seriously considers retirement they absolutely must have all debts paid; in simple words, be debt free Retirement almost always means less money or income to pay living expenses and to enjoy the dreams you promised yourself I have often recommended that a person should practice living on their retirement income for one year prior to retirement This simple self experiment will guide you in your financial decision If you can live on the reduced income you are perhaps ready to let go and have fun You are probably ready for retirement

Inflation is a killer problem for retirees; especially if one retires on a fixed income Inflation is here to stay; so plan for it before you retire Hopefully everyone knows they can not live on their monthly social security check even though there is a cost of living adjustment (COLA) each year

Here is what inflation will do to you Let’s say you retired in 1994 with a monthly annuity income of $4,500 per month That is slightly above the average but we will use it as an example Do you know what that monthly annuity would buy you today on a fixed pension? It is worth $3,262 per month in purchasing power as of 2007 because of inflation This figure was calculated using the yearly COLA’s since 1994 up to 2007 The income dropped well over a $1,000 a month in a 13-year period It is not uncommon now days for a person to be retired 20 years or more This is a frightening fact

People are living longer, so retirees need to plan well for their golden years It seems unreal, but retirement planning should start early Start saving when you first start to work; money compounding will grow your retirement income exponentially

What can a financially depressed retiree do if the month is longer than the money? There are at least two alternatives to consider for increase income:

1 Find a job outside the home You may think, but I am not physically capable of performing even a part time position or nothing is available where I live or I am too old
2 Find a stimulating internet home based business An internet home based business could provide the supplemental income necessary to take up the income sag And also let you have some extra money to play

The second alternative is worth serious consideration, especially if you already have a computer, know how to use it and are willing to learn a new venture An internet home based business has all of the capabilities to enhance retirement income The challenge is exciting and totally achievable for any retiree that has a desperate desire to supplement their annuity

There are no upper age limits for starting your own home based business The only limit is one’s desire and ability Retirement was made to enjoy, so enjoy The Infinite Income Plan is an attractive tool to build a home based business fairly fast. It is simple and proven plan that works for you and for every one. Are you ready to earn $5,000 - $10,000 a week then, login to http://www.moneyanyone.com which will help your dreams come true!
