Direct Sales: A Powerful Career Choice (Part 1)

By Moehr and Associates Marketing Success Systems

Why is direct sales so popular? Maybe it's the lure of working from home doing something you love, building a team that performs for you and making possibly large amounts of money. Many do achieve a good level and bring in a good income. It can be a career that really makes sense for you.

On the other hand, some sign up gung-ho and ready, yet just a few months later they find themselves back at a familiar "day job" thinking that maybe they'll try it again some day. The good old familiar "some day." It's where many's direct sales careers end up. Why?

Support is plentiful in this industry. Between your manager or recruiter, all the marketing materials and training the company likely offers and the terrific promise of building your own wealth, you have the launchpad for success. You can work your own schedule, build a team (or not) and basically do whatever you wish in your own little kingdom.

Building a team that works for you can be an immensely satisfying (not to mention profitable) endeavor. This is where the real money in direct sales lies and what many want to attain all while working a less than full-time schedule. Is it only a career for the most motivated or is there a special skill set required to really make it in direct sales?

Why such a tremulous path? Why do some make it big and others give up? It isn't because of some particular trait or special connection (generally). It's just because one seller does what the other isn't willing to do to succeed. It's really as simple as that. If you need to wade in uncomfortable waters for awhile to make it, that's not everyone's cup of tea. Comfort is the one thing people seek and it can be found in the tried and true, not in running a new business and doing unfamiliar things.

You've heard it before. It takes determination and motivation. It's the willingness to do what you have to do to make it work. There are those who insist you must pick up the phone and start dialing for dollars.

Well, of course in the numbers game of sales that will probably work, but will you actually do it? And if it isn't something that you will actually do, then how helpful is it? Picking up the phone and calling 100 people may be a ridiculously difficult task for some people while others have no problem with it whatsoever.

Is it the term salesperson that gets you? It's not always said with a loving tone. Instead you find that sharing is the way you'd like to be perceived. It's simple and straightforward, yet leaves the negativity of the term "sales" behind. No problem. If it works for you, by all mean adopt it. That's the trick: Make up your own system and then make it work!

Oil Painters of America-Annual Show in Santa Fe

By Mara Hernandez-Capili

As a kid I vividly remember my fondness for drawing and making artworks. This fondness I carried through during my high school years when I joined our school's Painting curriculum. Painting makes me relax and the activity takes away all of the stress that I experience during the day. I already am well-versed through using watercolors and acrylic mediums. I would like to try out Oil painting next.

Oil painting is very different from painting with watercolors. Water color is done by mixing the cake palette with water in order for the color to flow into the brush. It is water based and oftentimes thin and transparent. You have very little control of your colors in case of transparency since watercolor is generally quick to dry out. It is also hard to create an opaque color scheme with watercolor.

Acrylics can either be water based or oil based. Acrylic is harder when dry and more opaque compared with watercolor. It does not flow freely compared to watercolor. It is often used in large compositions since it much easier for the artist to mix and match colors using acrylics. Oil based acrylics tend to flow freely but can leave nasty smudges and stains on the artist's clothes.

Working with oil paints are relatively easier for some artists who want to produce a quality painting in a short period of time. Almost all of the artists nowadays use oil paints in their compositions, a proof of its rising popularity. Oil painting is generally more preferred by artists since it is more workable and produces a more vivid and striking color palette.

Come to the Oil Painters of America in Santa Fe, New Mexico and marvel at the talents of the local artists of New Mexico.

Fixed Rate Mortgage - Is It Worth It?

By Monty Burn

We'll have a look at what benefits there are to a fixed rate mortgage for you. We'll then look at using a mortgage overpayment calculator. You get security from the fixed rate mortgage & you may get a nice surprise from the overpayment calculator.

A fixed rate mortgage is one of the various types available. A fixed period of interest that may be a couple or several years. Because the interest rate is fixed, so are your monthly payments.

What, if any, are the up sides to fixed rate mortgages? Your payment is fixed because your particular interest rate is fixed. You get to budget easier every month as your payments remain the same.

It doesn't matter how much interest rates rise, your payments are fixed. In our recent history there have been some frightening short term interest rate rises. People on variable rate mortgages are much more likely to be affected by rapid rises in interest rates.

A fixed rate mortgage could be a mistake for you under certain circumstances. You may decide you need to move house, or even have an unexpected child and simply need more room. Either of these events will cause you to trigger an unwanted redemption penalty.

Nearly all fixed rate mortgages have a redemption penalty attached. These redemption penalties can hit you hard just when you don't need it. You must think twice before agreeing to a fixed rate deal if a charge like this will badly affect you.

One thing to consider while having the mortgage is to pay a bit extra every month if you can afford it. It's not set in stone that you have to pay the same minimum amount every month. Lenders prefer you to make payments like this but they never inform you that you could pay extra if you wish.

What are the best reasons to paying a bit extra every month? If you consistently pay extra in the early years of your agreement you can knock several years off the length. By paying a bit extra now, the savings mount up substantially later on.

What does a mortgage overpayment calculator do? It uses figures from your mortgage. Amount, interest rate, length of term etc. You can put various amounts in as the overpayment. Feel free to play around with this figure.

The calculator will then tell you how many years you might reduce your mortgage by. You get to see how much money you could possibly save. The figures in years and cash saved will increase the more you overpay each month.

You may be surprised at some of the savings you can make. Quick example, 25 year mortgage borrowing 100,000 at 5%. If you pay an extra fifty each month, you can shave more than 3 years off the length and save 12,000 in interest payments.

Now an example of 100 extra instead of 50 extra. Paying 100 extra every month using the same example mortgage. In this new example the time saved is over six years and the financial saving is more than twenty thousand.

An extra benefit is the years you save are free from any payment whatsoever. By paying a little extra now, you could easily be mortgage free well before you ever expected. Lenders will not tell you this, they like to keep this a secret.

In the example where we paid an extra 100 every month and shortened the mortgage by six years. We could save a further 40 thousand by not having to pay your lender every month. You don't pay this money to your lender so you get to keep it, either save it or spend it.

We've looked at some of the advantages of a fixed rate mortgage. You get to sleep easy in the knowledge your payment will stay the same month after month. Also consider the huge potential in making a little overpayment every month. Even small amounts will add up.
