2. ON POSSESSIONS

Are you possessed by your possessions? How many dresses, ties, homes, cars, jewelry, etc. are enough or too much? The ancient Latins called too many possessions “impedimenta” or what Julius Caesar, in crossingrepparttar 104065 Rubicon to take Rome, called “baggage.” In kindergarten we were taught to eat our cookie, drink milk, take a nap inrepparttar 104066 afternoon, and flush. Justrepparttar 104067 simple needs in life; food, shelter and clothing. Saint Mark said, “What shall it profit a man to gainrepparttar 104068 whole world and lose his soul?”

The Coach thinks . . .repparttar 104069 true riches of life are stillrepparttar 104070 adventure ofrepparttar 104071 book, a walk onrepparttar 104072 beach, growing a flower, visits with friends, swimming inrepparttar 104073 ocean. What arerepparttar 104074 riches of your soul?

3. ON SPEAKING OF FAILURE

For motivational speakers, nothing succeeds like failure saysrepparttar 104075 Wall Street Journal. The new motivation-speaking shifts are:

How I learned from big mistakes My darkest hour Candor Rebounds Mea Culpa Rocky Balboa Yes, a speaker still needs to inspire audiences to success, butrepparttar 104076 message is more significant when it includes some defeat and how to pick up and move on.

Selling Your Business Note

Written by Afra AmirSanjari


Why wait for payments on your note?

In many parts ofrepparttar country, business owners who sell their business must take back financing fromrepparttar 104060 buyer in order forrepparttar 104061 sale to be consummated. The reason- banks and other conventional lenders are hesitant to lend money to fund business sales because ofrepparttar 104062 high failure rates, especially inrepparttar 104063 arena of small businesses.

Before I go further, let me ask a question- if you wonrepparttar 104064 lottery tomorrow, would you takerepparttar 104065 payout in a lump sum or in monthly payments?

Most people would take a lump sum because even though it might be less thanrepparttar 104066 total prize, they would have control over a large sum of money now and could letrepparttar 104067 time value of money go to work and increase their winnings.So why then would you opt to get paid on your business sale over several years rather than take a lump sum payout?

The answer is probably because you didn't know that you could get cash for your business note. Peacock Capital can help you to sell your business note at a discount and cash out now, rather than later.
