Renton Real Estate Blog And Apple Pie

noreply@blogger.com (Jerry Snyder) — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 17:14:00 +0000

Are you ready for winter?

As winter approaches, some turn their thoughts to cooking.

Nothing like the aroma, the memories of fresh baked goodies

when you come in from the cold.

I thought I would put up some old stand-by favorites. Enjoy …

Here is something else I found and was sure you would enjoy as well.

I was browsing the King Arthur Flour Web site and thought I'd share this recipe for Apple Pie with you. Enjoy!

If we had to choose a national dessert, apple pie would be at the top of the list. It's been part of our culture since Colonial days. This pie lets the apples tell the story, with a little bit of help from lemon juice, cinnamon, and some apple juice concentrate or boiled cider.

For the best apple flavor, use more than one variety of apple in your filling. Use apples that will hold their shape during baking: Jonagold, Granny Smith, Ginger Gold, Cameo, Northern Spy, and Delicious are some good choices.

And, when it comes time to serve, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream; or a slice of sharp cheddar cheese, as New Englanders often do.

Ingredients:

Crust

2 1/2 cups Round Table Pastry Flour or King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup vegetable shortening
1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter
1/2 cup plus 1 to 2 tablespoons ice water

Filling

8 cups apples
2 tablespoons lemon juice
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 cup boiled cider or undiluted apple juice concentrate
2 tablespoons butter, diced in small pieces

Crust

3/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/8 ounces vegetable shortening
4 1/2 to 5 ounces ice water

Filling

1 ounce lemon juice
5 1/4 ounces sugar
1/2 ounce cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon allspice

Directions

1) In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.

2) Cut in the shortening until it's in lumps the size of small peas.

3) Dice the butter into 1/2" pieces, and cut into the mixture until you have flakes of butter the size of your fingernail.

4) Add the water, two tablespoons at a time, mixing with a fork as you sprinkle the water into the dough

5) When the dough is moist enough to hold together when you squeeze it, transfer it to a piece of wax or parchment paper. It's OK if there are some dry spots in the pile. Use a spray bottle of water to lightly spritz these places; that way you'll add just enough water to bring the dough together without creating a wet spot.

6) Fold the dough over on itself three or four times to bring it together, then divide it in half and pat it into two disks 3/4" thick.

7) Roll the disk on its edge, like a wheel, to smooth out the edges. This step will ensure your dough will roll out evenly, without a lot of cracks and splits at the edges later. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes before rolling.

8) Lightly grease a 9-inch pie pan that's at least 2 inches deep. This will make serving the pie easier after it's baked.

9) Combine the sliced apples and lemon juice in a large mixing bowl.

10) In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, cornstarch, salt, and spices. Sprinkle the mixture over the apples, and stir to coat them. Stir in the boiled cider or apple juice concentrate.

11) Roll out half of the pastry to a 13" circle. Transfer it to the prepared pan, and trim the edges so they overlap the rim of the pan by an inch all the way around.

12) Spoon the apple filling into the pan. Dot the top with the diced butter.

13) Roll out the remaining pastry to an 11" circle. Cut decorative vent holes, if desired. Carefully place the pastry over the apples.

14) Time to preheat the oven to 425°F.

15) Roll the overhanging bottom crust up and over the top crust, pinching to seal the two.

16) Flute the edges of the pie, then place it in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to firm up the crust while the oven finishes heating.

17) Place the pie on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake the pie for 20 minutes at 425°F, then reduce the oven temperature to 375°F and bake for 40 minutes more, until you see the filling bubbling inside the pie. Check the pie after half an hour of baking time, and cover the edges with foil or a pie shield to keep them from browning too quickly.

18) When the pie is done, remove it from the oven and cool it completely before slicing.

Renton Real Estate Blog … Are you ready for winter

noreply@blogger.com (Jerry Snyder) — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 15:14:00 +0000

Are you ready for winter?

Here are some tips from some experts. How does your

"GETTING ENERGY READY FOR WINTER " schedule stack up?

As every one knows, energy prices are on the rise across the nation. As a result, heating costs will consume an increasingly larger portion of a household's energy budget. That's why it's important to check your home to insure that your heating dollars aren't being wasted.

When cold weather approaches, use this checklist of simple ways to make your home more comfortable and keep those escalating energy bills at bay.

Check for Leaks

Weatherstripping and caulking is probably the least expensive, simplest, most effective way to cut down on energy waste in the winter. Improperly sealed homes can waste 10 to 15 percent of the homeowner's heating dollars. Take these steps:

Check around doors and windows for leaks and drafts. Add weather-stripping and caulk any holes you see that allow heat to escape. Make sure doors seal properly.

If your windows leak really badly, consider replacing them with newer, more efficient ones. Keep in mind, however, that replacing windows can be expensive - it could take you quite awhile to recover your costs from the energy savings alone. But new windows also provide other benefits, such as improved appearance and comfort.

Every duct, wire or pipe that penetrates the wall or ceiling or floor has the potential to waste energy. Plumbing vents can be especially bad, since they begin below the floor and go all the way through the roof. Seal them all with caulking or weather-stripping.

Electric wall plugs and switches can allow cold air in. Purchase simple-to-install, pre-cut foam gaskets that fit behind the switch plate and effectively prevent leaks.

Don't forget to close the damper on your fireplace. Of course the damper needs to be open if a fire is burning; but if the damper is open when you're not using the fireplace, your chimney functions as a large open window that draws warm air out of the room and creates a draft. Close that damper - it's an effective energy-saving tip that costs you nothing!

Examine your house's heating ducts for leaks. Think of your ductwork as huge hoses, bringing hot air instead of water into your house. Mostly out of sight, ducts can leak for years without you knowing it. They can become torn or crushed and flattened. Old duct tape - the worse thing to use to seal ductwork, by the way - will dry up and fall away over time, allowing junctions and splices to open, spilling heated air into your attic or under the house. It's wasteful.

Computing business profitability

noreply@blogger.com (Jerry Snyder) — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 16:58:00 +0000

Computing business profitability

Caught up in the day to day details of running a business, many business owners and entrepreneurs overlook an important activity: Computing business profitability. Instead, they go along, not thinking about what's happening with their business finances, until there's a cash flow problem.

Never confuse profitability with cash flow.

But cash flow is not an indication of profitability. Depending on the time of year, companies that are profitable may have smaller bank balances. And companies who are losing money may have higher ones.

Computing business profitability can help you make more money.

More money usually means business profitability. Try thinking outside the box.

Are you spending a significant amount of time in low-return activities?

Haven't we all heard about this one! If you are spending the majority of your day completing tasks which are administrative in nature and/or which can be easily completed by other people then you are not putting yourself to best use. For most of us, the best value-adding activity we can be involved with is in bringing business in the door by building relationships, talking to prospective customers and promoting our business.

Think outside the box. Think about buying customers. If that isn't outside the box, I don't know what is!

Increase Your Business Profitability

noreply@blogger.com (Jerry Snyder) — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 19:18:00 +0000

The Best Way To Increase Your Business Profitability

Are you spending large amounts on glossy, slick marketing materials and expecting business to pour in without any additional effort?

Some folks think glossy brochures and slick marketing materials are a nice addition to more active forms of marketing such as meeting people, calling people and speaking to people. However, brochures and business cards, no matter how beautiful, do not replace direct contact. If you are spending money on flashy marketing materials in the place of marketing directly, your business profitability will suffer.

Marketing materials are an expense, and to be sure they are working, you need to get some handle on the return on your investment. At the very least you should be tracking where new business is coming from so you can get an idea of whether your marketing materials are contributing to any new business you get.

The best way to increase your business profitability is to think outside the box.

For example have you thought of buying customers? Yes a very good way to increase business profitability is not to buy advertising, but to buy customers.

Business Profitability

noreply@blogger.com (Jerry Snyder) — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 15:02:00 +0000

Business Profitability

When it comes to computing business profitability, one thing that I have found that highly impacts your business profitability is your willingness to ask for the sale.

A lot of us have the mind set that if we directly ask some one to buy, were being pushy or obnoxious. I can tell you right now if you have that mind set, your business profitability will suffer big time.

This is YOUR business, without sales you have no business profitability. Zero sales equals zero profit.

One way to overcome this mindset is to practice asking for the sale in language that you are comfortable with (not too wishy-washy please). Write down what you want to say first, then practice it over and over. There is also plenty of stuff out there on handling objections. Prepare your responses to the most common objections so you are well armed before you speak with your prospective customers.

Another way to overcome this challenge and improve your Business Profitability is to just buy customers.

Some times you need to think outside the box. For example ….. have you ever considered buying customers to increase your Business Profitability? It works and it works every time.

Business Profitability

noreply@blogger.com (Jerry Snyder) — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 15:43:00 +0000

Business Profitability

I have found there is a big difference in Business Profitability when talking about a traditional business as opposed to a home based business. So lets talk Business Profitability for a home based business.

With the economy in the shape it is, doesn't matter where you are in the world, the need for Business Profitability has never been greater.

So many home based business owners work hard - really hard - just to break even or keep afloat. Each one of us deserves reward for our efforts, whether that be financial or personal. The question to ask yourself is whether you are directing your effort in the right places, to get the reward you want? How is your Business Profitability?

Of the businesses I've seen and worked in, there are plenty of ways to mis-spend effort - that is, to work hard - but on the wrong things. This in its self can impact your Business Profitability

For example how are you doing with your marketing? Once you have committed to owning and running a business you must be equally committed to marketing and selling the products and services of that business. To show Business Profitability you must treat your home based business, like a business. It is difficult, if not impossible, to stay and remain profitable without a commitment to ongoing concerted marketing.

To get more out of your marketing, to get Business Profitability create a simple marketing plan that includes marketing activity every day, every week and every month.

This isn't as difficult as some would make you believe. Marketing plans combine formal activities (such as advertising, promotions and writing) with informal activities (such as making new contacts) . Don't underestimate the power of talking to people about what you do. Use every opportunity, every time, and when you do you will see your Business Profitability soar.

Some times you need to think outside the box. For example ….. have you ever considered buying customers to increase your Business Profitability? It works and it works every time.

Top 10 home maintenance tips for the fall

noreply@blogger.com (Jerry Snyder) — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 23:17:00 +0000

Top 10 home maintenance tips for the fall

Well fall is here and time to think about getting your home ready for winter. Fall maintenance is an important homeowner duty because it helps make homes more energy efficient during the winter months, and will safeguard homes against potential seasonal 'disasters' such as leaking roofs or home fires due to neglected chimneys. Here are ten tips to a safer warmer winter.

TIP #1 Check the heating system. Check the filter, pilot light and burners in a system fueled by gas or oil. Fireplaces, boilers, water heaters, space heaters and wood burning stoves should also be serviced every year. Filter changing is something homeowners can and should do themselves at least once every 2 months. Have the specialist inspecting your unit show you how to change the filter. Clean ducts in the heating system. Clean and vacuum dust from vents, baseboard heaters and cold air returns. Dust build-up in ducts is a major cause of indoor pollutants. Ducts should be professionally cleaned about every three years.

TIP #2 Have the chimney inspected by a qualified chimney professional. Chimneys should be checked and cleaned, if necessary, on an annual basis. If you are using a wood stove this season, be sure that the stovepipe was installed correctly according to the manufacturer's recommendations and local codes. If there is any doubt, a building inspector or fire official can determine whether the system is properly installed. If you have a chimney that will not be used, consider having it sealed shut.

TIP #3 Test fire alarms and smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Often alarms and detectors go unattended. Batteries should be checked every six months to ensure that they're working. Vacuum out the dust.

TIP #4 Remove excess leaves and damaged branches surrounding the house. Dead branches have the potential to break and fall, ruining roofs, decks, vehicles or people.

TIP #5 Maintain gutters. Remove all debris that can slow or impede the ability of the water to drain effectively from the roof. Trapped water can be destructive not only to the gutters themselves but to the adjoining roof as well. Make sure gutter water drains away from your home.

TIP #6 Inspect the roof. Look for damaged or loose shingles, gaps in the flashing at joints with siding, vents and flues, as well as damaged mortar around the chimney.

TIP #7 Inspect exterior walls, doors and windows. Check walls and window sills for damage such as cracks, gaps, loose or crumbling mortar, along with splitting and decaying wood. Caulk exterior joints around windows and doors, which helps keep the home weather tight and lower heating bills. Check windows and doors to make sure locks work properly and that they are in good condition. Clean tracks and lubricate hinges. Repair or replace any cracked windows.

TIP #8 Maintain steps and handrails. Repair broken steps and secure loose banisters and handrails. Broken steps can cause a dangerous fall. Similarly, a person slipping will grab a handrail for support.

TIP #9 Inspect the attic and basement or crawlspace. Insulate Voids in the Attic - The entire attic floor above a living space should be insulated with at least 6 inches, except around electrical fixtures such as recessed lights that aren't rated for contact with insulation. Damp basements and crawl spaces can become mold and mildew problems. Watch for leaks from your hot water heater, plumbing system and seeping rain water. Locate and maintain a clear access to your main water shut off valve. If you have a sump pump, test, clean and lubricate it.

TIP #10 Shut down sprinkler systems and outside faucets. Homeowners can shut down outside faucets, while the underground sprinkler system weatherizing is best performed by industry professionals to prevent cracked pipes by having the system flushed before the cold sets in.

Business Profitability Goal

noreply@blogger.com (Jerry Snyder) — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 20:22:00 +0000

When you set out to start a business, you might set a goal to "make money." This is rather shortsighted in today's competitive marketplace. A real business profitability goal is needed.

The question comes up, what is a business profitability goal? How do you go about setting up a business profitability goal?

What is a realistic business profitability goal? This may differ from business to business and from market to market, but there are some general rules that should be followed. The first and most important is to establish a realistic and detailed profitability goal from the very beginning.

Sounds good, but again how is the best way to go about this task?

A comprehensive business plan is the best way to start any business. Not only does it provide a guideline for the entrepreneur, but it is also going to come in handy when he is out seeking start up financing.

Even if this start up financing is coming from your own savings, you need a business profitability goal.

Any financial lending institution is going to want to see a good comprehensive business plan with a clearly defined profitability goal before they make a business loan. They clearly understand that cash flow is not the same as profit and will not be as interested in the large amounts of cash that is expected to be generated as they will be in the bottom line profit. The lending institution understands the importance of profit in the sustainability of a business.

A good business plan that has established a realistic business profitability goal will make maximum use of every available business resource. Business resources come in many forms. Depending on the type of business your thinking about would determine where the resource would come from.

Another important element of a profitability goal is good and accurate reporting. A goal is considered to be a point in the future toward which your efforts are being directed. Business reports are like roadmaps showing if you are at least going in the right direction. The very nature of a profitability goal assumes that you will not reach it at once. If you see that you are falling short, it is the time to make adjustments to your operations and budgeting to get back on track.

Business is a complicated thing in this modern era. The opportunities that exist are mind boggling as we move closer and closer to a Global market place. At the same time, the importance of knowledge and data has never been greater to remain competitive. Even the smallest business needs a profitability goal that is realistic and can be monitored and adjusted as needed.

That is one reason a home based business is so attractive to many today. Even in a home based business it is important to set a business profitability goal. Remember you must monitor your business profitability goal and be willing to be flexible and adjust as needed.

Computing Business Profitability

noreply@blogger.com (Jerry Snyder) — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 21:22:00 +0000

If your contemplating starting a business or if you are the owner of a business, it is important you should understand the importance of computing business profitability.

With any business, no matter what goods or service is being provided, it is very important that the owner understand the business side of the business. The purpose of your company, business is to generate a profit.

Fixed Versus Variable Expenses

When computing business profitability, you will notice that your business has many different expenses. Some of these expenses are fixed and others are variable. Fixed expenses are expenses that you must pay no matter how much product you make. This is something you pay even if you do not open up your business for the month. Examples of fixed expenses are rent, employee expenses, and some utility costs.

Variable expenses are expenses associated with creating additional product.. You only have this expense if you produce an additional product. It is important in computing business profitability, that you make sure that you are at a minimum covering your variable expenses. If you are not covering your variable expenses, then you are losing money with each unit you produce. Revenue versus Profit

Many people think that profit is the money a business brings in. This is not true. The total money brought in by the business is called revenue and this is different from profit. For example, if you sell an item for $100, you have $100 of revenue. To get to profit, you need to subtract the expenses out. For that $100 product, it may have cost $50 to make, there could have been additional overhead costs of $10, and employee expenses of $5 associated with that product. That would mean that there was $65 of expenses associated with that one product. So out of that $100 of revenue from the one product, you will make $35 of profit.

As you can see, it is important to set your business goals to make a profit, not just make revenue. This is the importance of computing business profitability. You need to make sure that your business brings in enough money to not only cover the expenses but make sure that there is something extra so that you can take some money out of the business.

Get Professional Help

Computing business profitability can be a tall order, especially for a small business owner. You should hire a competent accountant or attorney to help you with your analysis. There are many profitability ratios that can be used to show the health of your business.

The More You Know

The more you know about the profitability of your business, the better off you will be. It is important that you stay up to date regarding the financial health of your business. You should constantly be computing your business liability and making any necessary changes.

Business Model

There are all kinds of business models. One of the Best is buying customers. How do you do this? Why is this a good thing?

noreply@blogger.com (Jerry Snyder) — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 00:41:00 +0000

Home business profitability opportunity is no different than any other brick and mortar business profitability opportunity in terms of what you need for a successful brick and mortar profitability, or a home business profitability.

Focus your time and energy on creating a customer base and you will have a successful home based home business.

Here's something to think about before you make a decision to take advantage of a home based business profitability opportunity, ask yourself one very important question. Do you have what it takes to operate a home based business ? It may sound like a simple question but in reality it is a very complex question. You need to understand at the start of your journey that it will be difficult and challenging. Too many people think it will just be easy and the cash will roll in.

The answer to this question is not a simple yea or no. You have to give consideration to a number of very important aspects before you make a final decision. Many people dream of having their own home based business profitability where they are in control of all areas of operating the home business profitability. But you have to know if you are the type of person that can be in charge and actually get things done.

Any home based business profitability opportunity requires much personal dedication. If you are the type of person that has lots of energy and enjoys keeping busy with your time then I suggest that you give a home business profitability opportunity serious consideration. However, if you are the type of person that really enjoys relaxing and just kicking back after a days work I'd suggest that maybe a home based business opportunity may not be a good choice for you. Why? Because it will take most of your free time to develop and build your home business profitability. Don't believe those that would have you think it only takes a few minutes a day and you'll be a great success.

Having a home based business profitability opportunity is not for everyone. We all like to think that it is for us but that is simply not the case. Far too many home business profitability opportunities lead you to believe that the amount of work involved is very minimal. The fact is that it takes lots of time and if you don't have time, or you are too tired to make the time, then save yourself lots of problems and don't start a home business.

However, if you feel that you can make that personal commitment then get involved. Now! It will be one of the best decisions you will ever make. A home based business profitability opportunity can change your life and the possibility of great success is a reality. If you can make the commitment needed to be successful you will be glad you made the decision.

This is something that has been around for a while, but I feel it is well worth reading again. So grab your favorite beverage and enjoy.

Confessions of a For Sale by Owner

After careful planning, doing hours of research, I decided to sale my home myself. Really what could be so hard about it- I would save thousands of dollars!

Day one: I purchased a sign at my local hardware store that had a tube attached it to put in flyers. Wouldn't have guessed that flimsy metal and plastic tube would have cost $29.00. Couldn't wait to get home and put the sign up. There is so much traffic on my street that someone will buy it!

Day two: Made some flyers on my inkjet printer at home, not to bad. I knew I had some marketing talent! Put 15 or so in the tube and took some to the office.

Day Three: While at work, a coworker commented on my flyer. Looks like a buyer! But all she said was that I misspelled some words and my $139.00 sales price seemed low. Went home and made more flyers.

Day Four: When I got home, I put the home on the web in as many places that would take a free listing; promising millions of people would see my ad. Sure I made the right decision now!

Day Five: Another coworker puts up a flyer on her house, with a price close to mine. Kind of jealous, her flyer looked better than mine and had more pictures.

First weekend: Worked outside cleaning up the home and really cleaned the inside. Sure someone will want to look at it this weekend.

Second Week: Keep getting emails from porno sites, have no idea where those are coming from. Also, getting a lot of callers that hang up. Maybe my answering machine isn't working properly. Might need a new one. Somebody must be interested; I keep having to make flyers. One of my coworkers said that she heard of someone selling their home in two days after buying a marketing plan they saw on TV. Got the information on it and will look at it when I get home tonight. Mistakenly deleted an important email today while deleting the porno sites and the multi level marketing schemes. Unplugged my answering machine, clearly doesn't work. Made more flyers with my cell phone number on them.

Third week: Received the marketing plan in the mail. For only $200.00 it looks great, lots of great ideas on how to market your home. Think I will put flyers at local Apartment. Complexes. I know one of them want to buy a home. Made 200 more flyers. Need to go to Office Dept to buy more ink. Spend 4-5 hours putting out flyers at the apartments. Tired, but happy. Received 10 calls on my cell phone about the house. Told them all they wanted to know and two callers set up appointments for tomorrow night. Left work early to get home to meet with the prospects but neither showed up. Guess they had something come up. More calls and three appointments this weekend. Called my good friend and told her I couldn't go out of town this weekend due to the appointments. Someone must have pulled up in the driveway to look at the house; there was a large oil stain on the driveway. Didn't take long to clean it up though.

Saturday, one of the prospects didn't show on time and when he did show; I had to stop dinner to meet with him. Cold spaghetti isn't very good. He said he was just looking.

On Sunday both prospects came by. One couple brought their kids and they got mud on the carpet. They ask if they could rent to own? Didn't understand the question so I said no. They hurried through the home and left. Did I do something wrong? Made some more flyers.

Fourth Week: Had to change my email because of the spam. How did they get my email address? Left work early again to meet with prospect. No matter, I can work later tomorrow. Worked 12 hours today and still didn't get anything done. Must be stressed because of the house. My boss commented on my looks, maybe I need to take some time off. Carpet cleaners finally arrived, took longer than they said, so I called the office and told them that I wouldn't be back today. Cell phone is ringing off the hook, and I spend what I think is hours talking about my house, but it seems that everyone just wants to know what the rent is- can't they get it through their heads that I want to sell the house?

Fifth Week: No offers yet so I am going to reduce the price. Made more flyers. Went to Office supply store for more ink. Someone rang the doorbell at 6:00am this morning. Came home one day and my deck chairs were missing. Saw another oil slick. I now turn off the cell phone when I get home, need the peace and quiet. Tried to do some work on my computer and checked the sites that I place my ads on. For some reason, I couldn't find my ad. Took a couple of hours to redo the ads and upload them. Morning is going to come too soon.

Sixth Week: My boss asked me into his office and asked if anything was wrong. Had no idea where he was coming from. My coworker closed on her house. Went home and found my stereo and TV gone, someone had broke in. Funny, saw another oil slick. Called my insurance the next day and they said they would take care of it, but I do have to pay my $250.00 deductible. Another prospect came by and got the carpet dirty again. And he asked if I would seller finance? My cell phone bill came in and I was over my limit by $75.00. Need to not answer the phone and only take messages. One of the apartments sent me a letter to come and take down all the flyers or I would be sued. I am going to have an open house this weekend. Called my girlfriend and cancelled our trip out of town. Had the open house and got the chance to see my neighbors. No one came by except them and that is after I spent $30.00 on drinks and chips. Made more flyers.

Seventh Week: Put the house on a FSBO website, only cost $399.00. Needed to make more flyers because I lowered the price by $5000.00. Read somewhere online that kitchens and baths needed to be modern to get the best price. I might remodel. Took off a day and ½ to meet with the contractors. For $40,000 I can get the best kitchen and bath ever! Now that the FSBO site is up, I am receiving more calls. Had to go out and buy a better camera to take the right pictures. It was suggested that I have a virtual tour. Went into work late to meet with the photographer. Only cost $79.00, she did a great job. It is really beautiful. Met with my banker at lunch to apply for the line of credit to do the kitchen and bath work. Great rate, interest only! It is time to put lime and fertilizer on the yard, not sure if I am going to do it since I am selling.

Eighth Week: The contractor started this week and should be finished in about two weeks. I can show the property even with the work going on. A prospect can see how much I take care of the home. It will get me a much higher price. After a couple of days of hard work, the contractor had to go do an emergency job. He said he would still finish on time. Had a prospect come by, but he couldn't seem to grasp my vision on the work being done. He probably wasn't interested anyway. Made some more flyers. Received my check from the insurance money minus my deductible. Went and bought a new TV and stereo.

Ninth Week: My parents came by to look at the work being done and my mother said she was worried about me. After they left I finished off the last of the wine. Need to buy some more chips and ice cream too. The contractor is back working diligently. The contractor is gone again. Saw another oil slick, checked my car. It has got to be coming from somewhere. Another co-worker sold her home. Someone stole my sign. Bought another. Had a prospect come by, invited him to drink wine with me. That was sure bold! Only had one glass and left. Must be losing it. Dropped the price again, made more flyers. Contractor came back.

Tenth Week: Boss told me not to miss anymore work. Had a beer at lunch. Got home and contractor wasn't there but my kitchen cabinets were-in the wrong place. Called the FSBO site and cussed them out for not selling my house. Was told it was my problem. Really don't care to mow the lawn, I'm moving anyway. First payment is due on the line of credit. After I eat and have a drink I might call a Realtor. Contractor said he could fix the cabinets but it would cost me more money. And he needed an advance.

Well that was two months ago, the contractor took my money, got broken into again and I lost my job. My parents had me committed because of my drinking but I am not worried. The bank is foreclosing on the line of credit and I am going to lose the house.

Wasn't that what I wanted anyway?

Sunrider Leads

noreply@blogger.com (Jerry Snyder) — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 14:29:00 +0000

Jade Sponsor Award from the Chinese Chamber of Commerce of Los Angeles

Sunrider received the Jade Sponsor award from the Chinese Chamber of Commerce of Los Angeles in recognition of supporting its 109th Annual Golden Dragon Parade, which was held on February 9, 2008. This event celebrates the Chinese New Year and is the largest and oldest of its kind in Southern California.

There are many direct selling and multilevel compensation plans available such as binary systems and straight systems. However, Sunrider compensation plan is unique and superior in several important ways, so is Sunrider Leads.

How is Sunrider compensation plan different?

Sunrider leads with a global compensation plan so you can do business in over 42 countries. This allows you to make money around the clock. Sunrider can pay you three times a month, but you only need to qualify once a month. Most plans which pay you weekly also require you to qualify weekly. If you don't work to qualify that week, you don't get paid! In Sunrider, many IBOs earn a stable residual income so they can take a long vacation or do philanthropic work without worrying about their next paycheck.

Don't take my word for it go do a Google search for Leads, or Sunrider Leads. Check out the thousands of pages and you will get my point.

"Regeneration" is the principle that is behind all of Sunrider's foods and products regenerating life within our bodies. It is giving life at the celllar level so those cells, "that have over 600 functions" can regenerate or become stronger and stronger rather than degenerating and becoming weaker and weaker. Every year 89% of our body is new! The question is - will our body be stronger or weaker just one year from now? That depends on what kind of foods we are giving our body - regenerative or degenerative foods. Sunrider foods are regenerative! They give life to the body so that it is able to overcome its own weaknesses and health challenges naturally, creating abundant vitality. Our food should be our medicine!

With proper nourishment, the human body has the power to heal and regulate itself, maintain optimum health and achieve peak performance."

The early Chinese doctors believed that instead of taking medicine to help cure a health problem, one should instead eat the proper herbs to prevent the body from ever getting sick. The Chinese doctor was paid to keep his patients well and if they became ill, payment ceased until he got his patients well again-at his own expense.

While the Sunrider foods and products are regenerating your physical health, the residual income provided through the Sunrider financial opportunity can also regenerate your financial health. It's a winning combination!

Make money with Sunrider while you sleep.

Sunrider Independent Business Owners can or will earn through participation in the Sunrider Compensation Plan. As with any other independent business, success results only from dedicated sales efforts, hard work, diligence, and leadership.

Ok so now that you are a Sunrider IBO, how are you going to promote your new Sunrider business? Many have been taught to go to their warm market (family and friends, fellow workers, people you do business with, Banker, Grocer, hair stylist ect.), And then to Free or Paid advertising. Others just tell you to buy Sunrider leads.

Leads are expensive, they not only exact a toll on your bank book, they exact a toll on your most valuable asset, time. Trying to contact a lead is very, very time consuming. Why bother? Just Buy Customers. It is much easier and will build your business much faster.

If you do a Google search for Sunrider leads, you will find there are a lot of lead brokers, some are obviously better that others, but the fact remains it is very expensive to buy leads. Why not buy customers

Buy Customers Not Leads

If you would like to learn more about buying customers, just fill in the contact form and come to our meetings on Saturday afternoons. You will learn the right approach to building your business on the net.

American Cancer Society 'Relay For Life' Certificate of Appreciation

Renton Municipal Airport, Clayton Scott Field

The Renton Municipal Airport, owned by the City of Renton, is a general aviation airport which serves Renton and other nearby communities. The airport provides regional aviation services for air charter, air taxi, corporate, business and recreational flyers. It is also an FAA-designated "Reliever" airport, diverting general aviation aircraft traffic from Sea-Tac International Airport.

The airport is located approximately 25 minutes south of downtown Seattle to the northwest and Bellevue to the north, and is situated in the center of the regional transportation network that connects State Highways 167, 169, 515 and 900 to Interstate Highways 5, 405 and 90.

The Airport is used predominately by single-engine piston aircraft, and ranks among the top six airports in the State of Washington in terms of aircraft landings and takeoffs. The Boeing Commercial Airplane Company, located adjacent to the airport, manufactures Boeing 737 aircraft and uses the airport for their initial flights.

Seaplane (or floatplane) operations from the Will Rogers-Wiley Post Memorial Seaplane Base, located at the north end of the airport along the shore of Lake Washington, also comprise a significant level of activity at the airport. The seaplane facilities include a floating dock and launching ramp, which make the Renton Municipal Airport one of the few airports in the Pacific Northwest where aircraft can land on wheels and depart from the water, or vice versa, if they have the correct equipment.

The Renton Municipal Airport is a Landing Rights Airport, with US Customs services available for both floatplane and wheeled aircraft arriving by water or by land.
