Vacation Time – When You NEED a Break, Take it!

Vacation time is often put off because of goals, commitments, and just plain forgetting what living is all about.  It’s easy to get into a rut of just making money or building your business.  But you have to remember that life is uncertain.  Someone is going to spend that money, but if you never take a break, it might not be you.

I remember, a few years ago, talking to a family member on a drop by, door knock visit.  That’s all he had time for – to drop by, knock on my door, and visit for a few minutes at the door.  He couldn’t come in.  He had to get a lot of things done so he could get back to his business in the oil patch, far away from home.

I mentioned to him that he should take a break and take some real vacation time. He said he’d like to, but he was too busy.  Have you been caught in this trap?  What did you do?Vacation Time

Ad Network Scams – 3 Eye-Opening Reasons they Don’t Work

Ad Network Schemes – 3 Eye-Opening Reasons why Ad Networks don’t work

Ad network schemes are everywhere. While not necessarily illegal, how ethical are they? When something is advertised as being extremely cost-effective and effective as an advertising tool, should it not deliver? Well, first of all, they are shady at best, and secondly, they can get you in a lot of trouble. Finally, like any such scheme, the only people they work for are the ones who set them up and a few choice friends.

What is an ad network? Simply put, it is a system, designed in much the same format as a network marketing program or worse, a pyramid scheme or ponzi. They are sketchy in their legality, barely sneaking under the radar, if they do at all, mainly because they aren’t directly charging or promising money.Ad Network Scams pyramid scheme

The similarities are very strong in every other way. They promise that if you join their HUGE network, you will be able to advertise your wares, service or business opportunity to thousands upon thousands of people.Ad Network Scams – 3 Eye-Opening Reasons they Don’t Work

One of the most disappointing things I face as a college professor is the lack of understanding most students have regarding capitalism. The simple fact is, despite its importance to our daily lives, relatively few people have a strong grasp of what causes economic growth and why markets are so central to continuously rising standards of living.

In my teaching, I have encountered several myths or misperceptions about capitalism from students as well as individuals outside the classroom. Dispelling these myths has become a focus of much of my teaching.
