Christianity EtcHow To Be Free From The Snare Of The Fowler by danhunter500(op): 4:45am On Apr 10, 2017
Psalms 91:3:
"Surely, he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence."


In a simple definition, a snare is a specific kind of trap. The individual who makes and sets it is the fowler. The subject of trap or catch happens regularly in the Scriptures. The accompanying in up to 11 cases, among others. Exodus 34:12 made reference to this. It was also mentioned in Deuteronomy 7:16, and 12:30. Also, in Job are 18:10 including 22:10. In Psalms - 9:16; 64:5; 69:22; 38:12; 91:3, and also 119:110.


The villain(devil) is a fowler that is kidnapping people by his snare. Freedom must be acquired ONLY through Jesus Christ.


The goal of the fowler is to keep the flying creature for design, or to kill for food, or infrequently offer for cash. The villain is the fowler who is setting a catch for those recovered by the blood of Jesus, and now and again he will utilize some alluring trap to get the consideration of the devotee.


Common Indicators That You Are Under The Snare of The Fowler(devil)


The plan of the fowlers is to trap, take out, execute, disparage, wound, catch and debase.

Business5 Ways To Determine Whether Your Business Idea Is Worth Pursuing Or Not by danhunter500(op): 12:34pm On Dec 01, 2015
How to Find out Whether a Business Idea is Worth Pursuing
The short answer is: if you would have to spend the rest of your life regretting never having pursued one specific idea, go ahead and start your business because life is too short for regrets.

Unfortunately, not every decision is as straight forward because sometimes the thing you would be regretting the most is never having tried any of your ideas and there is no specific idea that you have set your heart on at the moment.

For those of us who have a variety of business ideas and want to narrow it down, here are five ways to find out whether your business idea is a yay or a nay.

1. What Do Competitors Advertise?
You can go around and ask potential competitors what they think their strengths are. The issue with that is two-fold: a) they might not respond at all and b) what they say might not correspond to what their numbers are saying. One easy way to find out what sells for them is to check out their online ads. Whatever makes them most competitive in their given market is 99 percent of the time literally spelled out in their online text ads.

Let’s look at a concrete example and pretend the business idea is to sell shoes online. We can now go on Google and type in “buy shoes online”, have a look at the ads, and figure out what the general selling points in the industry are.

Here are some of the ads that may show up for the keyword “buy shoes online”:

Looking at the screenshot above, you can tell instantly that companies advertise only two things:

Their own brand
Discounts
Additionally, shipping seems to be important as well.

What This Means for Your Business Idea

If you were looking into selling shoes online, you would now know based on the ad analysis that you either need to have a known brand or be very competitive with prices and have flawless shipping set up. New businesses don’t have a known brand, so you either need to be aware of the fact that you need a lot of budget to compete as a brand or you now know that your only way is to beat people’s prices and better have the fastest free shipping in place that the world has ever seen.

Looking at these ads as a marketer, you also notice that at least three of these 10 ads are part of an at least medium scale campaign that uses dynamic keyword insertion or that the ads are part of a dynamic search campaign.

How do I know? Check out the heading of these three ads that are highlighted below:

This looks like dynamic keyword insertion which is a code that is frequently used by advertisers that have to set up a medium-sized campaign with around 80k+ keywords. All this code does is it automatically inserts the keyword that was triggered by the search query in the heading of the ad. You can determine the capitalization of those keywords with a small code modification which is what tipped me off here.

My keyword was “buy shoes online” and those ads say “Buy Shoes Online” with every word capitalized – to automatically capitalize every word just so happens to be the most popular code. If there is space after the code, you could also add the brand name as 6pm seems to have done here. Using the code is a great way to get a good click-through-rate on AdWords while setting up thousands of ads with Excel in a relatively short amount of time.

Dynamic Search Campaigns are frequently used for large inventory e-commerce businesses, so either way it seems that whatever potential competitor we are dealing with online is ready to sell a vast amount of products at a great price.

As a startup, this looks like funding to me either from your own pocket, from venture capitalists, or whatever else is an option for you.

What if You Are Not Looking to Open an E-Commerce?

The example above was just a demonstration of how to analyze online ads and consequently draw conclusions of what it may take to be able to compete in this industry. Not every idea requires funding and not everyone minds needing funds, so the conclusions will be different depending on what business idea you are looking into.

2. Can You Make it a Purple Cow

So let’s say you have roughly drawn a picture of what you would be offering. Now the question is, how can you make your product or service stand out from the crowd? Best-selling author Seth Godin described this concept well with the term “purple cow.”

The idea behind the purple-cow-concept is to offer your product and service in a way that would make it so remarkable as if it was a limited edition. Remarkable is a great term here because it is defined as “worthy of attention.” If you cannot make a remarkable version of what you are offering, I would say to cross this business idea of the list because if you don’t stand out, nobody will buy.

If you are asking for a concrete example of implementing the purple cow concept, take at Tim Ferriss’ 4-Hour-Work-Week book cover as an example. He split tested the cover by putting the book next to other books with a variety of covers, watched what people ignored and what they picked up, and then made a decision of what the book cover would look like. He chose what was “worthy of attention.” He also split tested different titles of the book with Google AdWords ads and chose the one with the highest click-through-rate which is a common technique to split test business names.

3. Competitive and Perceptual Positioning
It’s time to go back to the drawing board. Use a competitive positioning matrix to figure out where your brand or business would rank compared in the current industry.

The traditional competitive positioning matrix looks at price and quality:

Naturally, having low cost at a low price and having high quality at a high price are the two easiest ways to position yourself. Anything else is usually difficult to achieve. There is another matrix to consider though which analyzes how people perceive your brand, also referred to as perceptual positioning.

The traditional perceptual positioning metric looks at how a brand is perceived, not how companies are perceived. This differentiation is extremely important because a company can carry more than one brand that are perceived very differently from each other. If you only carry one brand, then you can, of course, use the perceptual positioning metrics for the company as well.

If you have a hard time thinking of the respective perceptions for your perceptual positioning matrix, think of the five biggest players in the market and find one word for each that best describes how you think people feel about the brand. If feelings are not your thing, think of a typical item that you associate with the company. For instance, for Nike it would be the running shoes, for Starbucks it would be coffee in a paper cup and so on. Then find terms that customers would use to describe the item.

These are just examples to illustrate the concept, the perceptions of the matrix change based on what industry or brands you are looking at and of course based on what you are planning on offering.

4. Likelihood of Successful Execution
Based on your analysis from point 1-3, how likely is it that you will be able to make your business idea a reality? There are a number of things to consider when determining the chances of success.

Aspects to consider include but are not limited to:

Up-front costs
Funding needed yes/no/how much/when
Time commitment
Core competency needed
Dependency on others
Market size
Level of competition
There are very few niches nowadays where the level of competition is low. One of the things I feel is most overlooked is the question of why the level of competition is high. It’s not enough to figure that you are competitive and able to handle the competition. Handling the competition is not the game. The game of entrepreneurship – or at least part of it – is beating the competition.

How to Beat the Competition

In order to be more successful than others, you first need to know how the industry works. One of the ways to find out is by using Michael Porter’s Five Forces. I was cursing at this model during all my three business degrees, but I have to admit that this model is rightfully famous. It helps to quickly get an overview of what kind of industry you are potentially getting yourself into.

The easiest way to understand this model is with examples. Think of it as a microenvironment that surrounds the company, almost like an ecosystem that the business lives in.

Here are a few examples.

If you are launching a protein product that is targeted at people who are going to the gym, there is an enormous threat of new entrants. Hundreds of new protein products come out daily.

You can also use this model in relation to the perceptual positioning matrix. The threat of substitute products or services can be the perceived level of product differentiation. Think of bottled water for instance. The water in the bottle is the same everywhere, it’s clean drinking water.

Nonetheless, you will surely never see your dad pick up a bottle of Skinnygirl water because the perception is different than from, let’s say, Evian. If you were to launch bottled water for athletic women ages 15-25, you would be a substitute threat to the Skinnygirl brand.

The bargaining power of customers refers to price sensitivity among other things. As seen in the example with the online shoe store, buyers can be extremely sensitive to prices and simply go for the lowest price. This is one of the characteristics companies like Walmart count on for instance.

5. Impact Your Lifestyle

Great business ideas have the ability to take over your life. The trouble with being a passionate entrepreneur is that you don’t really mind. I recently spoke to one of my clients who is a small business owner.

He is going through the process many small business owners go through. You start your first business and enjoy working on it 24/7. Then the discussions started with friends who think you should take an evening off and you start minding that they ask, you grow apart, you find more successful friends that understand what you are doing and only after a while do you realize that what you are suffering from what I call the golden cage syndrome.

The golden cage is a profitable business that you cannot get out of because, well, a cage requires the bird and you are that bird. It’s a good cage to be in because the business is making money but it requires you to be there all the time and is not worth a whole lot without the bird in it. It’s difficult to be bought at this point because the business doesn’t work without you.


Conclusion
I have seen many small business owners stuck with their businesses. Rather than advising you to start whatever has high chances of succeeding, I would rather say start something that enables you to live the lifestyle you envision for yourself.

You cannot change the world in a cage anyway, so why start building one in the first place? Making a difference and living the life you want are not mutually exclusive, so go for what is best considering your personal happiness also. Happy leaders inspire and inspiration is the foundation for success.

Investment4 Personal Finance Tips Most People Wish They’d Known When They Were Younger by danhunter500(op): 6:25pm On Nov 23, 2015
GOOD EVENING TO YOU ALL,

I HOPE YOU HAD A GREAT DAY TODAY?

Here are 4 personal finance tips most people wish they’d known when they were younger:

1. START SAVING EARLY: THIS IS THE TIP MANY PEOPLE MENTION FIRST
Kids save long before they spend, so encourage teens and young adults to do the same. In Canada, kids can file a tax return and start creating contribution room so that they can start contributing to their RRSP as soon as they have a job. They will then have what they need for retirement socked away before they start building their family and career. A budget with designated savings amounts helps make it easier to set the money aside.


2. UNDERSTAND HOW CREDIT CARDS REALLY WORK
Many people think of their credit cards as their safety net. However, by the time you’ve realized that credit cards and debt are actually a sticky web, you’ve gotten yourself into a tangled mess. The only way to escape is to increase your income, decrease your expenses, or do both; and yes, that might mean making some drastic lifestyle choices.



3. BUY LIFE INSURANCE SOONER THAN LATER
Buying life insurance when you’re young and healthy ensures that your premiums are low and affordable. Many policies also have a grandfathering clause, so if life circumstances change your health dramatically, you may be able to take advantage of keeping any insurance policies that you took out when you were younger.

4. BUYING A CAR MIGHT MEAN YOU CAN’T AFFORD A HOUSE
Buying a new car is much more expensive than most people realize, and a monthly payment of $500+ for a car is what you need to save in order to afford the down payment on a house. Most young adults can’t afford two large purchases at a time. Prioritizing which large expense is most important becomes paramount to achieving your goals.
If you choose to buy a new car before buying a house, know that you will probably need to delay your dream of home ownership. Look at your budget carefully and test drive additional payments for 6 months if you decide that you can do both. You might be in for a big shock – or have topped up your down payment.


BOTTOM LINE ON MONEY ADVICE TO YOUR YOUNGER SELF
An often ignored tip that’s applicable to all ages and part of any “advice to younger self” list is to carefully evaluate any financial decisions you plan to make smiley, and to ask for advice before finalizing your choices. Seek out people you trust and sources of reputable information to help you avoid potentially costly consequences. While many teenagers aren’t quite mature enough to appreciate that their parents sometimes do indeed know what they’re talking about, the benefits of hindsight can be hard to ignore.

BusinessSECRET: How To Sell Your Business For Real Cash. by danhunter500(op): 6:01pm On Nov 23, 2015
If you own a business and you’re in your 50s or 60s, you’re likely relying on the sale of it to fund your retirement. Yet the company you’ve spent a lifetime building and growing faces its toughest competition.


In a recent study, the U.S. Census data reported that the group of business owners 70 years old or older is growing at a staggering rate, from about 20,000 owners each year in 2005 to over 120,000 today. And Capitalize Network, a business-transition planning service, estimates it’ll grow to over 180,000 a year in 2025.
What’s more, in five or 10 years, the number of businesses for sale will be in the millions.



That’s why you need to develop an exit strategy.


So how can you best realize your return when it’s time to sell?


I will be presenting 3 ways here:


1.You must be honest with yourself.

Do you really want to sell? Be clear about your answer or you will waste time and money on advisers, distract your people and rattle customers.
One COO of a midsize company spent two years preparing and marketing the company for sale. Repeatedly, with a prospective buyer, the CEO/founder couldn’t pull the trigger, because he “just wasn’t emotionally ready.”


2.Be clear about your goals.

What do you most care about when you think about leaving your business?
Do you know, for example, your desired future lifestyle, financial needs and tax/estate strategies and your post-departure hopes for your business?
List your goals and force-rank them. Making the list starts to clarify your rational thinking; force-ranking helps clarify the emotions behind it.
In other words, what’s keeping you awake at night or stuck is not the list, but trying to know what’s critical to you.



3.Do a reality check on your business.

When selling your car, you take a hard look at what will help it sell fast and at a fair price.
Similarly, a business reality check looks at your company’s operational and organizational health to see where a tune-up is needed to improve its value and sale ability.


The first set of reality check factors are quantifiable operational aspects, including:
• FINANCIAL AND OPERATING EFFICIENCIES
• CUSTOMER BASE AND REVENUE FORECASTS
• ASSETS INCLUDING PRODUCT PIPELINES AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY


Wise business owners also have a second list of qualitative organizational factors that enhance sustainable value:
• CULTURE AND STRATEGY
• EXECUTION DISCIPLINE
• LEADERSHIP ALIGNMENT
• TALENT POOL

While you intuitively know your strengths, a hard-nosed assessment of the factors in sale ability and sustainable value makes the priority tune-up issues clear and urgent.

NOW, THE TWO TOUGHEST QUESTIONS

When asked why they don’t have an exit plan, owners typically give one or more of these three reasons: I’m too busy growing my company; it’s too early and I don’t want to think about it. Underlying these answers are two tough questions: Who am I if not my company? And, what comes next?

Resolving these questions requires digging deep.
Understanding your feelings about leaving your business is a key to leaving it well. If you can’t imagine moving out of the past and into the future, you will lack the fuel to power decisions and activities for building that exit plan, handing over the keys and leaving.
Just as you had a dream when you started and built your company, you have to re-imaging the dream of life after it.
As one owner told me, he “left the baby he loved to experience the life he loved.”

BusinessSecond Income For You. by danhunter500(op): 6:04pm On Nov 19, 2015
Top 4 Things To Make Sure You Realize In Creating A Second Income Online.



Come to think of it, the idea of creating a second income is certainly something that most people would say appeals to them. A a second income would enable you to not only have far more money than you are currently pulling in from your job, but would also create the opportunity for this "second income" to eventually replace your "first income," putting you in a position to be your own boss and set your own schedule.
When it comes to the idea of creating an additional stream of income, the best place to look is toward things you need to know to create a second income online, as an online income would enable you to have the sort of freedom most people only ever dream of, all while giving yourself an incredibly high ceiling for money flowing into your bank account!
If this is something you are interested in, I will be discussing with you 4 things you are going to need to make sure you realize in order to create online income (and if this is not something you are interested in, it's about time you start getting interested in it).


1. Realize the importance of traffic:
Without a traffic, a website has practically no chance of making money, as traffic is the currency of the Internet; as such, one of the first things you are going to want to make sure you do - in order to start making more money for yourself - is to learn exactly what goes into traffic generation, in order for you to be able to start generating traffic yourself!


2. Realize the importance of excellent content:
On top of needing to know how to bring online traffic your way, you also need to understand how to keep traffic on your site, and the best way to make sure the traffic that comes to your site stays on your site is with great content; the more you are able to learn about great content creation, the more you will find your website is growing in popularity and success.



3. The importance of a good sales funnel:
One of the major mistakes a great number of people make when first getting started online is that they allow each single sale to be nothing more than that - "a single sale." Instead of making this mistake yourself, it will be important that you start figuring out how to make each single sale turn into additional sales down the road.



4. The value of targeting something you know:
And finally, understand that it will be important for you to target a topic, product, or area of focus that you know well and understand yourself; in so doing, it will be far easier for you to create a reputation for yourself as an "expert" in this particular area, which will ultimately lead to you making a lot more money than you would otherwise be able to make!


This is just an iceberg of the game. I will be guiding you all for FREE how you can start generating second income,
