The Adventures of an Ultrasound Technologist
While most believe an ultrasound technologist career begins and ends with examining babies who have yet to be born, many neglect to realize they also perform medical duties that can help save lives. Detecting birth defects in fetuses and determining genders of babies are a big part of the job, but so are medical imaging of all kinds as well as therapeutic applications. What will you encounter if you enroll in an ultrasound technologi

How To Find Your Dream Career
"I wish I could find my dream career". Many people have said, or at least thought those very words or something similar.The number of people that have found their chosen career right away and have never regretted it are few. The majority of us will make many stops along the way. Some good stops - some painful ones. Have you ever read or heard someone say "You learn more from your mistakes, than your successes"?

Business Valuation FAQs
Considered a part of the annual strategic planning process, business valuation is the process of determining the estimated market value of a business enterprise. It is a valuable tool for business owners, stockowners and investors. Business valuation is used for a variety of purposes such as buy/sell agreements, mergers and acquisitions, estate planning, bankruptcies and pension plans.1. Why is business valuation important?at is in it for him? I found this interesting, as since when is it wrong to simply help someone or your fellow man? The gentleman then confronted me with this question and told me his wife wanted to know.

So I thought about it, why was I helping this man and discussing such things with him and giving him my advice that he had asked me for? I guess my goals of helping him and his family were somewhat personal; I think my reason for helping include; to keep your family together, help them start their dream small business, delete the stress of George, save their kids from hardship and for fun or intellectual exercise. The business was to be an education center for the arts.

For me I guess my wanting to help stemmed from some other interesting observations I had previously. It was something I saw a video on Education in the World from TED, as I think the speaker, Ken Robinson is right (see for yourself);

Of course George and his wife, who questioned my integrity to help them, did not waste a minute in asking me if I would invest in their business? So, I thought isn’t it interesting that they had questioned my good nature and then immediately asked me for money? Of course I told them;

I do not see myself as an investor as you are not where I could monitor my investment and I do not wish the stress, I am retired you see? So, no I am not interested in any stake in the company or anything like that, and would not take any shares for FREE even if you offered them, I would decline.

They asked me then my advice on where to find an investor or if I had any thoughts along those lines and of course I did so I said;

Sure I have lots of thoughts, but without a business plan it is ridiculous to even consider approaching anyone who is a REAL investor for something like this. You need a business plan, proforma, artists conception, compelling reason and a good estimation on ROI (return on investment) for the business.

You know what happened next? They decided it was too much work and they decided that unless they had the money and there was a guarantee they would get it if they wrote a business plan; they decided that it was simply too much work. Of course such a lazy attitude and lack of worth ethic is the number two reason people fail in business, the first of course being lack of capital.

Interesting these people challenged me on my
