Bookkeeping Tips For MORONS

Please don't think I am calling you a "moron" to hurt your feelings in any way. I was a moron when I first started setting up my files. I hated accounting in school and am the type that would much rather add 2+2 on a calculator than in my head -- but you have to do it. You have to force yourself to do it NOW -- right at the beginning! Many of a business has collapsed simply because they lacked organization in their basic accounting business practices. Don't be one of them!

As a small mail order business you don't have to really do much in the beginning. Here is how to set up your files from ground zero:

=======================================

=======================================

1. Take out a hanging file folder and a label of any kind. (Hanging folders and labels for them can be purchased at K-Mart, Wal-Mart and any office supply store.)

2. Type or hand print "Receipts" on the label and place it on the hanging folder.

3. Now, place 5 MANILA file folders inside the hanging file folder (which you labeled "Receipts") and label each of the manila file folders with the following headings:

a. Advertising
b. Postage
c. Office Supplies
d. Utilities and Rent for the Office
e. Miscellaneous

You now have one large hanging file folder with 5 separate manila file folders inside it. Carefully place your hanging file folder in your metal file cabinet or cardboard banker's box. (A banker's box can be purchased at any office supply store also and normally cost around $4.)

========================================
Want to work at home? Been burned trying to work on the
internet? Well, FINALLY there is a business that you can
work for the long-term residual income that everyone else
just promises.
========================================

Now, wasn't that easy? Some of you reading this will think that I am attempting to insult your intelligence. This is NOT my intention. This report is broken down in a simple, step-by-step way so everybody can understand it -- regardless of their previous knowledge and experience. Remember, some people have never worked in an office their entire life. What seems simple and accepted to some of us, may be something another person would never have known.

Okay, let's go back to where we were. You now have one master file completed and we're ready to make another just like it. This time we'll name the hanging file folder "Income" and label 3 manila folders inside it with the following headings:

a. Completed and Shipped Orders
b. Inquiries and Correspondence
c. Open Orders Still Pending

========================================

See how easy? From now on, you simply make another folder as the need arrives and you're files will always be easy to maintain. (Once you get this concept down pat -- you can easily think about getting a computer. A computer organizes its information in the SAME manner. Believe me -- this same system works! You'll be amazed at how many mistakes it will help you prevent.)

Yes -- bookkeeping is a very simple process. All you have to do is keep the system going. For instance, every order that I process, I completely finish before moving on to the next order. Example:

============================================

bad experience with MLM programs in the past, join us and find
out what MLM is supposed to be!
===========================================

1. Mail is received and opened. As each piece is opened it is placed into individual piles. Orders with pre-payment are placed in one pile, information and daily correspondence in another, and so forth.

2. Each order that has been pre-paid for is processed first -- with each one being processed individually to completion. (That means it is in an envelope, a label typed out and the completed order is ready to be mailed at the post office.)

3. During the process, the "date," "amount of check or payment" and "product ordered" is recorded on the outside of the envelope -- making sure the customer's full name, address and telephone number (if available) is on the envelope too.

4. Just before closing up the office for the evening, the envelopes are then keyed into the database on our computer (you can substitute a computer for the hanging files in the beginning.) We record all the information that was written on the envelopes during the processing of the order. (Don't think you will remember "what" the order was. That thinking will open you up to make human errors.)

As your business grows, your understanding and abilities will grow also. At that time you can grow into a more sophisticated means of keeping the books.

In the meantime -- keep good records. They are the lifeblood of any business and can eventually make or break you. You'll thank yourself in the long run.

The Dangers Of Household Garbage

Reducing the hazardous waste in America's landfills starts at 
home. Millions of households are producing billions of pounds 
of solid waste. Products used every day in our homes leach 
hazardous chemicals after entering landfills. There are a 
number of simple steps that average consumer can take to limit 
the damage that many of these toxic materials are doing to the 
environment.

The garbage situation has become a big concern in cities all 
around the country and not only is this a political issue, but 
it is also a problem that has caught the attention of the 
general population. We all realize there is a growing problem 
but nobody likes to admit that their garbage is contributing to 
the problem.

======================================

======================================

Many municipalities have already started a recycling program to 
deal with the growing mountains of paper, plastic, glass, etc. 
Although it takes a bit of effort on the part of the public to 
sort and separate their garbage, people are now beginning to 
realize that the future of our environment is at stake.

One household product that is causing a problem these days is 
throwaway batteries. Each year, Americans throw away 84.000 tons 
of alkaline batteries. These AA, C and D cells that power 
electronic toys and games, portable audio equipment and a wide 
range of other gadgets comprise 20% of the household hazardous 
materials present around the country in America's landfills.

=======================================

======================================

When a battery in one of the products we use fails, we simply run 
out and buy a replacement. The dead battery ends up in the garbage 
and no one thinks about where it goes and what happens to it after 
the garbage is picked up.

Sealed inside these alkaline cells are harmful materials which are 
not encountered by consumers during normal use. However, when the 
batteries enter a landfill, the casings can be crushed, or can 
easily degrade, which causes mercury and other toxins to leach into 
the environment.

========================================

over-rides and the best training. All this for a 1 time fee!
========================================

The problem of batteries in landfills is one of the easiest to 
solve. Using rechargeable power can significantly reduce the number 
of batteries which end up in landfills. Rechargeable batteries can 
be used again and again, up to 1,000 times. One rechargeable cell 
can replace up to 300 throwaway batteries, keeping the landfill free 
not only from the batteries themselves, but also from the paper and 
plastic materials that are used to package them.

There are a number of manufacturers in the country today who deal in 
rechargeable products and some of them have a number of programs 
already in place to ensure that rechargeable batteries never enter a 
landfill at all. For example, one of the largest manufacturers of 
rechargeable products is now offering a lifetime replacement guarantee 
on all round cells. If the product ever fails to accept or hold a 
charge, the company will promptly replace it and recycle the used cell.

If you have an environmental agency in your area, you might like to 
work on this issue with them, or perhaps they already have a program 
set up to dispose of used batteries. As a concerned citizen, your 
suggestions and input will be invaluable to them as they attempt to 
come up with some solutions.

FIFTY USEFUL TIPS FOR BETTER SLEEP

You can sleep without pills and still beat insomnia.

The fifty following tips will help you to have a better night's
sleep.


1. Try to relax before bedtime; take a walk or read a newspaper;
just do something which is not stressful.

2. Do your paperwork or other work-related activities early in
the evening.

3. Make sure your bedroom is not noisy.

4. If your bedroom is noisy and you can't correct it, wear earplugs.

5. Think of places you fell asleep easily and try to copy those
places; set your room up the same way.

6. Check the medicines you are taking to see that they aren't
nervous system stimulants.

7. Make sure your bedroom is well-ventilated but not too cold.

8. Don't use too many or too few blankets.

9. Don't tuck your sheets in too tight at the bottom of the bed;
your feet should feel free and unrestricted.

10. Your mattress should not sag.

========================================================

top name brands for less!
=======================================================

11. Have a big enough bed for yourself; if you're 6'8", don't try
sleeping in a single bed.

12. Your pyjamas or nightgown should be comfortable, not too tight.

13. Use a pillow that suits you, soft or firm, whichever you 
prefer; or not at all, if that's what you prefer.

14. If you like a soft light on while you sleep, have one on.

15. If you prefer to sleep in darkness make sure your blinds are
thick.

16. Rise at the same time seven days a week, no matter what.

17. Do not linger in bed when you wake up; instead, get up right
away and start moving on with your morning routine.

18. Avoid napping in the afternoon.

19. Do some sort of physical exercise each day which will tire
you out.

20. Cut down on smoking and drinking alcohol at least two hours
before bedtime.

========================================
Want to work at home? Been burned trying to work on the
internet? Well, FINALLY there is a business that you can
work for the long-term residual income that everyone else
just promises.
========================================

21. Don't drink coffee or soft drinks containing caffeine after
dinner.

22. If you like to watch TV before going to bed, keep it light;
watch a comedy instead of a drama.

23. If you like to read before going to bed, keep it light. Read
to a logical stopping point, so you won't lie awake wondering
what's going to happen.

24. Don't socialize with friends with whom you are likely to 
argue in the evening. Nighttime arguments are like poison to an
insomniac.

25. Establish a regular bed-time.

26. Avoid eating too much salt with your dinner and in any
after-dinner snacks.

27. Try eating snacks high in calcium and protein before 
retiring; small amounts of cheese and nuts contain Tryptophan,
an amino acid which promotes sleep.

28. Take bone meal tablets or some other form of calcium 
regularly after dinner.

29. Herbal teas such as camomile and valerian induce sleep.

30. Try a teaspoon of brewer's yeast and a tablespoon of molasses
in a glass of milk.

========================================

31. Don't forget about a glass of warm milk before bed; it does
work.

32. A teaspoon of honey in a cup of hot water is said to induce
sleep.

33. Another old-fashioned remedy is to take two teaspoons of cider
vinegar with two teaspoons honey in a glass of warm water.

34. Ask your spouse which sleeping position you sleep most soundly
in; try to assume that position upon retiring.

35. Don't go for 8 hours of sleep; you may only need 4 to 6 hours.

36. Spend no more than 3 minutes thinking about the day's problems
when you are in bed.

37. If you find it difficult to sleep with your spouse, try getting
twin beds or separate bedrooms.

38. The optimum temperature for sleep is 60 to 64 degrees F.

39. Relax before bed in a warm bath.

40. Buy a humidifier to keep your room warm in the winter without
drying out the air too much.

49. Concentrate on doing some deep breathing as you lie in bed.

50. If all else fails, try counting sheep; it's an age-old cure and
has helped many an insomniac get a good night's sleep.
