Business traveling, even with all of its hustle, bustle, and flat hotel pillows, does have one perk: your company pays for it. Whether they reimburse you for cars from rental agencies or for the miles you put on your own vehicle, one thing stands between you and your financial compensation: tangible proof of what you’ve spent.Keeping financial records of business trips may seem – on the surface – quite simple.

Most successful employers have similar traits when it comes to being driven to succeed. They are perfectionist to the point of almost being obsessive compulsive; happen to be extremely motivated, and stubborn to a fault, and at times extremely difficult to deal with. Nothing gets in their way; they do not dwell on problems, but seek solutions. Their vision is to do whatever it takes to get from point A to Point B while avoiding as many bumps on the road as possible. To accomplish what they have set out to do has been carefully planned, and they try to leave very litt
First, some background. For years, the US has had more freedom than most all countries. We still have many freedoms that others could only hope for. Religious freedom, freedom of speech, you name it. Keep in mind people go to jail for life just for practicing a religion. Not here in the USA.
With freedom of speech, there is an irony in that certain communications the government has the freedom to monitor. For instance, telephone calls from the US to other countries has been available to people who work for the government. Telephone intercepts is not new. Think about it, what is the biggest overseas telephone company, it is At&T. It is widely believed that all telephone calls to other countries are recorded and have been since the 1960’s and before. And recently, it is understood that there are computers that can search those conversations for keywords. Say the sentence “My kid really bombed out on the game last night” and you get your whole life put into super recording mode.

Recently, I wrote an article discussing the Unique Selling Proposition: its definition, its use and its penultimate importance in all aspects of marketing, no matter what business you’re in. In another article, I told the story of Julie’s Mansion, a wonderful restaurant I was studying as a young hospitality school student. I mentioned that Julie (Jules F., the owner) was an eccentric, flamboyant entrepreneur who knew how to differentiate himself with the public by using the media and other crazy goings-on that took place in his restaurant on a totally irre

What is arguably the most popular vending machine in existence? What do you see outside of every grocery store, shopping mall, gas station, train or bus station? A soda vending machine, of course. They are everywhere and they are making some lucky entrepreneurs very rich. Not just financially, but emotionally as well. Many self-employed individuals find great comfort in the fact that they have complete control over their days, work the hours they choose and make all of the decisions concerning the business.With that said, there is no denying that the soda

Many of us are happy with our current jobs, but a little bump in salary would usually be nice. What would you do if a headhunter called out of the blue and offered you a position at a different company--for more money?

He decides to talk about his “classified” work with his employer and the government. When the New York times reported on the vast collection program going on, many people knew this was happening, but this technician opened up a can of worms.
The technician talked to lawyers and the press. This is what he said. He talked about a Room 641A at 611 Folsom Street, in San Francisco. There At&T has a large communication hub, actually part of the many backbones of the internet. The technician described how the company worked with the NSA to listen in to every bit of data going through that part of the internet. Since he was now retired he figured “who cares if I can’t get a job with the spy bosses now?” He thought the public should know what was going on.
