    3 Types of Capital Investment for your Business - from a South African Perspective
    Capital is normally required for three possible applications, namely:1. Fixed Capital:Fixed capital refers to your business needs to buy fixed assets. This means that you need the capital to buy things like buildings, machines, computers, vehicles and furniture. These items are normally purchased for use in the business and not for resale. The purpose is to generate sales. They do not have a resale value and can be liquidated again, but in most instances lose value over time. This is called depreciation. Depreciation is seen as an expense and is recorded in the income statement. Land is the only item that does

    Support During Career Transition: Keeping Upbeat and Focused
    Do you sometimes find that as soon as you take that leap and decide to make a positive career change, you’re met with criticism and resistance from those around you? They tell you why it’s a bad idea and try to persuade you not to follow your dream.Luckily, it only seems that way. One of the biggest challenges that many people in career transition face is trying to convince their families, friends, coworkers and the people who know them best, that change is a good thing. At a time when everything is in flux, it's tough for us to reassure people we are headed on the path to success despite any obstacles which may surface along the way
    In August 1975 Gary Dahl, an advertising executive, came up with the wacky idea of having a 'rock' as a pet. He just didn't want the hassle of looking after traditional pets like dogs, cats and birds etc., which Gary considered to be too messy, expensive and hard to look after.

    After the initial weird looks and grunts from his friends, they soon came round to the idea, and thought the concept of 'Pet Rocks' was quite fun.

    Gary spent a couple of weeks creating a 'Pet Rock Training Manual' and designed a small box to look like a miniature pet carrying case. The manual contained tips on how the owner should look after their new Pet Rock. The tips included how to teach your Pet Rock to 'roll over and play dead' and how to 'house train' them.

    A Leap Of Faith

    He really felt he was onto something, and decided to exhibit his Pet Rocks at a gift show in San Francisco, later in the year. He also wrote a press release and sent it out to all the major news agencies.

    As news of this latest fad began to get round, a number of local newspapers ran articles on the story, and the Pet Rock phenomenon started to really gather pace.

    Gary enjoyed an almost overnight success, which saw Pet Rocks being sold all over the world, and culminated with Gary being interviewed as a guest on Johnny Carson's 'The Tonight Show'.

    Ever since the success of the Pet Rocks in the 70's, many a would be inventor/entrepreneur has tried to emulate the success of the Pet Rocks. But so far, nothing has done quite so well. At least not something as wacky as a pet rock.

    Corporate Flight Attendant Salaries
    Pay. You know that business aviation pays more than commercial, in most cases a lot better, but you aren't sure what the going rate is for a corporate flight attendant. It might surprise you to learn that pay rates vary widely depending on the type of account you are flying for, your location, your responsibilities, experience, and more.Over the years I have discovered that the pay range is not set in stone. Typically, fractional operators [i.e., Netjets, Flight Options, Flexjet] pay less than charter operators [Part 135] who pay less than owner operators [Part 91]. Are there exceptions to this rule? Yes, of course. Other factors as

    Entrepreneurship With Ethics
    Why is it important to establish the moral status of entrepreneurship? Unless it can be shown that the entrepreneur does what is morally worthwhile as an entrepreneur, that his role is ethically praiseworthy, not only his or her status in the market but the market itself becomes vulnerable to serious moral criticism. This is because it is well recognised that ethics are the free market's life line. Many economists are beginning to realise this. Indeed, it is entrepreneurial activity that makes the best sense of profit - another vital part of capitalism.However, without also demonstrating that entrepreneurship is ethical, the market w

    Entrepreneurs -- What Happens When No One Loves Your Products?
    You’ve had a great idea, a winning idea. It’s been a hobby or a mission of yours for years and you’ve finally got the money and time to start your own business. Or you’ve been in business for some time and you are noticing that no one seems to love your products anymore – they are just not buying them. What do you do?Well the obvious answer is to find out why: * Ask your current and previous customers what kind of things they would like you to sell. * If you have products that are sold as a recurring matter, then ask your customers what improvements they would like. You can do this as a survey, a competition (if allo

    Everything You Need to Know about Work Permits
    Basically, a work permit is a document which authorizes a person to seek employment and hold down a job. This is not needed in every instance, especially for local employment, but if the employee is not a citizen of the country where he or she plans to work, then a work permit is required.'Local and Foreign Work Permits'Here are the two basic types of working permits needed by an employee before formally attending the first day at work:1.

    My Childhood Memory Is A Bit Faint, But...

    I was about 7 or 8 when I first saw the Pet Rocks, after my mum bought one as an ornament. I've always had this memory of these little rocks with painted on eyes, staring at me from on top of the television.

    If my memory serves correctly, my mum bought a few different ones, but I never remembered seeing a manual or a Pet Rock carrying case. In fact, we always called them 'Pebble People', not 'Pet Rocks'.

    I would hazard a guess that the ones we bought we just a copy, or a 'knock off' of the original Pet Rocks. That said, my mum enjoyed having them around the house, and I know my sister and I found them amusing at the time.

    This does show you though, that you don't necessarily have to come up with a totally original idea to be successful. Sure, you have to be careful that you don't get accused of copyright or trademark theft, but 'spin offs' from 'fad' products can often prove very profitable.

    Consider This Viewpoint...

    Lets say things had started off differently. What if Gary Dahl had invented the 'Pebble People' and not the 'Pet Rock’? You could have seen them and then taken the idea a bit further by adding the manual and carrying case to your own version.

    What I'm saying to you is this…Instead of just looking at the latest craze and saying:

    "Why didn't I think of that?"

    You should be saying to yourself:

    "What spin-off product could I create, which would be the perfect
