The Best Advice To Keep Your Vintage Car In Tip-Top Shop

A key focus of my blog is Financial Literacy/Money. Many would argue that a car is a liability and not an asset. A vintage car though if maintained could be a valuable item for resale at some point if you maintain it properly. The following contributed post is entitled, The Best Advice To Keep Your Vintage Car In Tip-Top Shop.

While some people prefer a brand new set of wheels every couple of years, others have a different attitude – why fix something when it’s not broken? You may feel nostalgic about a certain car, and want to keep it going as long as possible. Or perhaps you prefer the look of older cars. Maybe you’ve got a classic car or antique beauty you still want to take for a spin! Older cars can be great assets if they are well kept. Taking care of your vintage car means much more than simply keeping it looking aesthetically pleasing and today, we’re going to give you the best advice on how to keep your vintage car in tip-top shape!

Regular servicing

All cars need servicing at least once a year, but with your vintage car you’ll have to do this much more often. Many of the internal mechanisms on your car will be very old – perhaps even older than you – and will need regular check ups to ensure it continues running for as long as possible. Speak to your mechanic about the possibility of using arc spray to aid the prevention of wear and tear, and generally to help keep your car together for longer.

Lots of waxing and buffing

The paintwork on your vintage car is going to be more susceptible to damage, so you’ll need to take extra care of the paintwork. Waxing and buffing the paintwork on your car will help protect it from general damage when driving it around.

Use your car!

One mistake that many vintage car owners make, is leaving it in their garage or on their driveways for too long. They then struggle when trying to take it out for a spin. Taking your car out for regular drives will help keep all of the components working to the best of their ability.

Source car parts wisely

Vintage cars are going to be harder to source parts for, especially if the manufacturer doesn’t make parts anymore or worse, isn’t in business. Shop around for car parts to find the best quality parts for your car. Many vintage car owners have purchased parts for their car that actually depletes the value in the long run! Speak to a professional before buying parts to avoid this happening to you.

Tuck it in at night

If you don’t have a garage at home, it’s advisable to tuck your car in under a protective cover to help prevent weather damage ruining the paintwork. You can find car covers easily online and fairly priced too.

Keep an emergency fund for repairs

Finally, you should consider keeping an emergency fund for repairs on your vintage car. As mentioned earlier, it’s harder to source parts which could mean repairs will be much more expensive. Your mechanic may need to charge more than a ‘modern’ car for repairs and part sourcing too, so it’s always useful to have some spare money to ensure your car is back on the road in no time!

The Raw Truth: Making Big Bucks From Startups Takes Time

Two of the focuses of my blog are Financial Literacy/Money and Business/Entrepreneurship. Whether you’re the business owner or the investor, a lot of money can be made from start companies also known as “startups”. The truth however is that these ventures in all likelihood won’t started generating significant cashflow early on. The following contributed post is entitled, The Raw Truth: Making Big Bucks From Startups Takes Time.

* * *

A few companies start generating profit immediately. But almost always, the most financially rewarding enterprises make practically nothing for the first five years of operation. There’s a long ramp between setting up the firm and actually getting a return for all that hard work.

Take Square, for instance, a company heavily involved in payment systems. The firm, operated by Jack Dorsey of Twitter fame, was lambasted by investors in 2013 for failing to make any money. That year it lost nearly $100 million after taxes and depreciation, and many thought it would fail. Furthermore, the company had already been operational for four years, meaning that such losses were even more difficult to bear. Investors wanted to see a return, but they weren’t getting it.

Just a couple of years later, though, all the doom and gloom disappeared. The company turned things around. And now, it is part of practically every investor’s stock portfolio. You can’t afford to leave it out.

What happened? Essentially, Square spent the first five years of its existence looking for long-term profit opportunities. It didn’t try to satisfy investors by the quarter. Instead, it made decisions that were costly but would set it up for market dominance in the future. These bold decisions then attracted more investors who kept the enterprise afloat until it started making money.

It’s not the only example, either.

Amazon

Jeff Bezos founded Amazon in 1994. The company increased its sales to around $150 million by 1997 and over a billion in 1999. Unfortunately, it wasn’t making any money over this period. In 2000, the company borrowed billions from investors but had less than $350 million in cash on hand at one point.

It took the firm until 2003 to turn a profit, but it was a weak result. Many people believed that Amazon would never make any serious money.

Bezos, however, had a plan. He decided to invest all additional revenue into the firm to develop its technologies and systems. Eventually, it became the market leader, able to do things other eCommerce brands couldn’t. Ultimately, it came to dominate the market, even managing to beat out rivals like eBay.

Tesla Motors

Something similar is happening with Tesla motors. The company began in 2003 and yet it didn’t manage to turn its first profit until 2013. After that, it continued to make losses, only making serious money towards the tail end of 2019. That’s a long time to wait!

According to fintech industry experts, something similar is happening in their sector. The InsurTech Accelerator, for instance, provides security for firms with a long ramp. The hope is that the sector will see success stories similar to those of Amazon and Tesla.

Making big bucks, therefore, takes a long time. When you reinvest profits in a firm, you’re essentially compounding your advantage (as you might with a stock portfolio). The longer you leave it to take money out of the company, the more it’ll eventually make (so long as you make smart business decisions).

Are You Prepared for When All Hell Breaks Loose?

A key focus of my blog is Current Events. We are living in unprecedented times with unprecedented challenges. If you haven’t thought about what you would do should things break down into a larger crisis, now is the time. The following contributed post is entitled, Are You Prepared for When All Hell Breaks Loose?

* * *

The world is in a state of unrest and most of us don’t even realize. Media companies can no longer be trusted, countries are fighting invisible wars and riots are breaking out in many different parts of the world. In America alone, protests and riots are gripping the country and causing a divide between two distinct political stances. Shootings and crime rates have risen drastically, and we also have to deal with a deadly virus that claims the lives of thousands every day.

But how prepared are you for when all hell breaks loose? Are you prepared to defend yourself when there’s civil unrest? Do you have enough supplies to weather the storm?

There are only two options when unrest happens

You either run or you bunker down–there are no other options.

If there’s civil unrest and you’re prepared to defend you and your family, bunkering in place can be one of the safer options assuming you have enough supplies for at least a week. For some, this can include keeping clean water and food supplies in the basement. For others, this could mean a personal shelter for their family.

The other option is to grab your most important belongings and go. This is known as a bug out bag, go bag or emergency survival kit. It usually contains essentials such as clean water, hygiene items, spare clothing, vital documents and self-defense items. The idea is that you simply grab the bag when there’s trouble and you leave immediately. You can think about your destination later.

Regardless of what you pick, it’s important to have a way to communicate with your friends and family members to stay in touch and potentially assist them should they need help.

Be prepared to defend yourself

Depending on the situation, you may be required to eventually defend yourself. Nobody wants to fight with another human being if it can be avoided, but riots are unpredictable and you may need to defend your business or property at some point. This is where tactical training can come in handy. Self-defense lessons may also give you peace of mind and, in some cases, you may want to consider owning a weapon or firearm depending on your stance on violence. Again, nobody wants to fight if it can be avoided, but having something for self-defence can offer you safety and comfort.

If you find yourself having to defend your business, then it might be worth having a plan to board up your windows and take important possessions before things get dangerous. For instance, having a safe with important belongings and business-related documents could be the difference between saving and losing your business.

When things get bad, there’s nobody you can rely on but yourself. We’ve even seen some instances where police are too demotivated or physically unable to help with crime. It’s a nightmare scenario that could lead to the total collapse of society, but it’s a very real possibility that we all need to be ready for.

5 Tips For Companies To Improve Workplace Hygiene

Three key focuses of my blog are Health/Wellness, Organizational and Management Discussions, and Workplace Discussions. A key consideration in the discussion regarding restarting the economy following Covid-19 is workplace hygiene and making it safe for workers. If workers feel safe about the workplace, they may be more likely to return. The following contributed post is entitled, 5 Tips For Companies To Improve Workplace Hygiene.

* * *

The recent pandemic means that hygiene in the workplace is now front-page news. Everyone wants to make sure that they’re providing a sanitary environment for workers to keep people safe.

Workplace hygiene, however, has long been a priority for management. Leaders know that if they can improve cleanliness, they can reap the business benefits. Hygienic firms are profitable firms, especially in hospitality and medicine.

Are you worried about staying safe and mitigating the spread of COVID-19? Check out these tips.

Limit Food To Entitled Areas

A lot of workers like to stuff their faces with sandwiches at their desks over the lunch hour. It’s a time-saving device that helps them get more done during the day so that they can go home on time.

It turns out, though, that eating and drinking at a regular desk is a hygiene risk, especially if your company operates hotdesking. Food going into the mouth can be a carrier of infection, potentially putting the person at risk.

Limiting food consumption to permitted areas can make a considerable difference to the risk of transmission. It is much easier to clean canteens than it is to go around, ensuring the keyboards and mice are germ-free.

If you operate a canteen, ensure that you keep workers at least one meter apart.

Install Sanitary Equipment

Mopping floors and wiping desks is easy. But cleaning equipment to ensure that it is hygienic is much more challenging. Machinery tends to have a bunch of nooks and crannies where nasty germs can hideout.

Sanitary tubing goes some way to alleviating this problem. You can open it up and easily clean it, preventing the buildup of bacteria you get with conventional systems. You can also buy plant and equipment from vendors committed to exceptional hygiene. Make sure that things like filters are easy to replace.

Keep Air Moving

Researchers now believe that coronavirus may spread via the air in the form of an aerosol. Keeping air moving in the workplace, therefore, is essential. The more draft you can generate, the less likely any virus in the air will come into contact with people. Enclosed indoor spaces tend to be the most dangerous.

Hire Professional Cleaning Services

Business is booming for professional cleaning services, and it is not hard to see why. Companies want professional outfits that know what they’re doing when it comes to reducing the threat of COVID-19. Managers see them as a way to convince staff that their premises are “COVID secure.”

Most cleaning companies see the coronavirus pandemic as a business opportunity. For that reason, they’ve been investing heavily in training, giving their staff specific skills to combat viruses. In addition, they’ve been updating their equipment too. Many now use electrostatic cleaning tools to thoroughly coat surfaces using ionization to make sure all germs die.

Provide Hand Sanitizer

Hand sanitizer is now a staple in shops, pubs, and restaurants. Using it helps to prevent the spread of infection by killing any virus that might be on the skin. Place it strategically around your workplace.

Four Tips To Improve Worksite Efficiency

Two key focuses of my blog are Organizational and Management Discussions. If you’re running a construction site and working on projects, a challenge is keeping the job on schedule. As such you have to consider efficiencies that will optimize time and resources. The following contributed post is entitled, Four Tips To Improve Worksite Efficiency.

* * *

When it comes to worksites, it’s important to be on point for deadlines that you have to meet and ensuring everything is going to plan with the timeline given. With that being said, there are definitely some things that are worth doing in order to help improve the efficiency of it. Here are four tips to improve worksite efficiency.

Make Sure To Delegate

Delegating is part of the issue you can have when it comes to any site managers that are working on-site throughout the day. They might have their own duties to attend to, but it’s essential that there are daily meetings with workers to ensure everyone knows what they’re doing and when the progress should be done by. In order to keep to deadlines and to stop people from doing what they shouldn’t be doing, make sure you delegate. Otherwise, you’re going to have a lack of productivity in parts and also workers who are standing around doing nothing. It’s important to utilize every single member of the team and delegating is essential to making it work successfully for all those involved.

Use The Right Equipment

Equipment is essential for your worksite and the workers involved. If you’ve not got the right equipment on hand, then how do you expect those working to do their jobs and to do it safely. From Thompson Rock pugmills to any safety equipment that’s needed in order to protect your work staff effectively. By purchasing the right equipment and having it ready on-site or delivered when needed can ensure everything goes accordingly and that there are no delays caused due to lack of equipment.

Communicate Properly

Communication is important because otherwise, it can be very easy for wires to get crossed. That’s not something you want when you’re running along with tight deadlines, and unexpected events can occur that throw you off a few days. Make sure that you have a proper line of communication set up so that you can inform your staff on-site when needed and to also have effective communications between those on-site and those at the head office. By having these lines of communication, you will often run into fewer problems as a result.

Hold The Workers Slacking Accountable

Workers who sit around and do very little are something you don’t want to see, let alone be it in a public place where it’s causing disruption to commuters and the public in general. It’s important that any breaks are taken but out of sight and that you hold workers accountable when they slack off. It’s important to set examples within the workplace, otherwise, everyone else is going to take liberties too. Try to enforce workplace rules so that everyone is working hard to meet the site’s deadline to be finished.

Operating a worksite isn’t easy, so make sure you follow these tips to help make it as efficient as possible. Keep up with the right communication, hold your workforce accountable for slacking, and always delegate to your workers.

3 Fool Proof Ways To Escape Your Debt

A key focus of my blog is Financial Literacy/Money. A key to winning with money is controlling and eliminating debt. As such, figuring out ways to get rid of your debt is critical to your long-term strategy. The following contributed post is entitled, 3 Fool Proof Ways To Escape Your Debt.

If you are struggling with debt you are certainly not alone. Recent statistics suggest that a massive percentage of the national population is facing debt that they can’t manage by themselves. Some will let it build and build to the point where they feel completely helpless. Others will file bankruptcy in the hope it will give them the fresh start that they need. While bankruptcy can provide anyone with a certain level of financial freedom, there are issues. For instance, you can lose a lot of your assets including your car or your home. That’s why you might want to explore alternative ways to deal with your debt. Here are some possibilities.

Cut Your Credit Cards

It is worth noting that dealing with debt isn’t just about wiping out the money that you owe to different sources. That’s just one step because you also have to make the right changes to your lifestyle. If you don’t do this, then you will find yourself back in debt a lot quicker than you would like even after you clear it off. That’s why it might be worth cutting your credit cards and ensuring that you are no longer able to rely on them in your life. You could also think about setting a budget. This means that you won’t have to worry about ever accidentally spending more than you can afford.

Look At Debt Consolidation

You could also explore the option o debt consolidation. Debt consolidation is useful because it means that you can push all your debts into one sum rather than them being spread out. This is going to make your debt easier to manage and can provide a lot of relief. Of course, the main benefit of debt consolidation is that it should mean that your interest rate is reduced. If you can’t cut down the interest rate, then debt consolidation probably isn’t going to be worth it for you. This usually depends on your credit score.

Find The Right Support Structure

You do need to make sure that you find the right structure for dealing with your debt. You will find a lot of different choices on the market here so it’s important that you find the right one for your needs. If you explore DTSS reviews, you’ll find that there’s a lot of information suggesting that the company does have success in helping people escape their debt the right way.

Alternatively, you might want to rely on friends and family members for help here. The benefit of using these individuals is that they won’t charge you interest but it can put a strain on your relationships with them.

We hope this helps you understand some of the best ways that you can escape your debt and get your finances back on track. Once you do this, you’ll find that you are in a far stronger position all around. You will improve your quality of living and you’ll be able to stop worrying about money being a constant burden in your life.

5 Warning Signs in Life Where You’ll Need Legal Representation

Three focuses of my blog are Financial Literacy, Business/Entrepreneurship and Organizational and Management Discussions. One of the keys to being successful in business is to predict potential outcomes. A potential negative outcome for any business is legal encumbrances. The following contributed post is entitled, 5 Warning Signs in Life Where You’ll Need Legal Representation.

* * *

Hiring a lawyer is something that very few people do in life. After all, most of us tend to stay out of trouble so there’s no reason to hire one. However, there may be situations where trouble comes to us, or we make a bad decision that ultimately leads to a court case. Unfortunately, hiring a lawyer as a reaction to this can be a detriment. By the time you’ve been alerted that you’re being taken to court, you likely don’t have much time to find a suitable lawyer. While some situations (such as being arrested) will entitle you to some legal representation, other circumstances might not.

So to help you out, we’ve put together five warning signs to look out for that will tell you that you’ll soon need legal representation.

1. Getting into investments and business

Legal representation is important when you’re getting into investments such as property. While you likely won’t be arguing against others in a court case, you might need legal representation for other situations. Legal assistance is always helpful to ensure that you are approaching your startup or investments in a safe and legal way. It’s also important to have due diligence meetings with investors and attorneys.

2. Your business is starting to get popular

Business lawyers are essential to any kind of company, but if you’re starting to gain in popularity then it’s a good idea to have legal representation ready. This is because you need to be able to protect your business, your intellectual property, and also take others to court for infringing on any copyrights and trademarks you own. If your business is getting into the big leagues, you’ll need all the legal assistance you need.

3. Facing any kind of injury that isn’t your fault

We’ve all heard it before; get a personal injury lawyer to help you claim compensation. No matter how cliché it sounds, it’s good advice that you should follow. Personal injury experts like https://www.shea-shea.com/ are going to be essential services should you experience an accident of any kind. They’ll help you get the legal representation you need to claim compensation and can help argue your corner. If you end up in an accident with multiple people, it’s a good idea to lawyer up as soon as possible.

4. Any kind of charge against you

Be it a DUI, drug charges or any kind of criminal charge, it’s a good idea to hire a lawyer quickly. In most cases, you’ll be offered legal representation, but we suggest looking for a lawyer on your own accord for more peace of mind. Always look into their experience and ensure they’re proficient in the area of law you need them to be. Ask about previous clients or knowledge of local news, such as the Daniel Fung arrest after he was murdered, to get a better idea of their track record. Being charged or arrested is scary, but with legal representation, it’s much easier to handle.

5. You’re going through a tough relationship

If you’re in a nasty or complex relationship that seems to be on its last legs, then you should get ready to hire legal representation. If you and your partner mutually agree on all aspects of your separation then you don’t actually need a lawyer. However, things can easily get nasty if you’re not careful, hence why we’d always recommend looking for lawyers when your relationship is starting to crumble. You’ll never know when you’ll need to defend your assets or custody of your child.

4 Career Options For People Who Love The Environment

A key focus of my blog is Career Discussions. There are a lot of rewarding careers for individuals who love the environment. Sometimes loving the environment can be stigmatized, but there is fulfilling and abundant work out there involving the environment. The following contributed post is entitled, 4 Career Options For People Who Love The Environment.

Once upon a time, it seemed that the only people who got into environmental professions were tree-hugging hippies who hated the thought of wearing a shirt and tie to work every day. Nowadays, we realize that isn’t the case, and there are, in fact, a diverse number of careers that enable you to help the environment. If you’re close to leaving school or want a career change that will make a difference, here are four options for people who love the environment.

Park Ranger

If you’re someone who loves the great outdoors and is happy to live in a rustic log cabin in the middle of the forest, a park ranger career could be the answer. It will allow you to spend all of your time deep in the wilderness while ensuring that the public takes proper care of their surroundings.

Park rangers can work at national parks, local parks, and protected areas. You may need to deal with people disrespecting the environment, but being able to revel in the dense woodland throughout the day will make this a little more bearable. You’ll need a degree in environmental studies, or something relates to environmental management.

Energy Auditor

Energy auditors might not have the cool factor that park rangers or other environmental professions have. However, they are still a crucial part of ensuring people learn to care for the environment better.

But what do they do? Energy auditors will work with companies, cities, and countries to reduce energy consumption and recommend alternative energy methods. If you live somewhere that is still highly reliant on fossil fuel, this could be a way to change the status quo. You will need a high school diploma and a relevant qualification, such as certification from the Business Performance Institute or your country’s equivalent.

Environmental Lawyer

There is only so much one person can do, though, so what if you had the power of an entire lawn firm behind you?

Environmental lawyers will fight companies for the rights of the environment. You can argue for green energy practices, protect crucial ecosystems or battle climate change. However, it’s no surprise that you’ll need a law degree and be qualified to practice in your state.

Marine Biologist

Not all environmental jobs are restricted to the land, however, and a marine biologist career is fantastic for people who want to explore and conserve the deep blue. With this, you can use a bongo net to study plankton and analyze the effects of plastic and other contaminants in the water, or you can discover new species that look like they’re from another world.

Marine biologists usually need a degree in biology. For more senior roles, you will need a more specialized degree depending on the type of marine life you want to work with.

Working For the Planet

Working for the planet and helping the environment is not just something that will make you feel all fuzzy inside; it also does legitimate good for the world around us. Without people dedicated to saving the environment and working every day to protect animals, plants, and the landscapes around us, we will witness the world fall apart before our very eyes.

Why It’s Important To Get Your Health Checked Regularly

A key focus of my blog is Health/Wellness. Our personal health not a one trick pony which is static and always the same. Unfortunately it is fluid and can be impacted by a myriad of factors. As such it’s important to get it checked regularly. The following contributed post is entitled, Why It’s Important To Get Your Health Checked Regularly.

Nobody really likes going to the doctor. There is something about the sterile environment and the overly personal nature of a checkup that makes people feel uneasy. However, regular checkups are crucial for maintaining excellent health so you can continue to live a safe, happy, and healthy life. Even if you’re apprehensive about visiting the doctor, it’s always beneficial to seek advice if you believe something is amiss.

They Can Identify Problems Early

Many people will experience an issue, whether a cough, discomfort, or constant headaches, but they still won’t visit the doctor. They may not want to do so because they think it’s nothing. They believe the issue will go away if you give it enough time, or they don’t want to waste the resources for something that, to them, feels so minor.

But such problems, as well as an array of other issues, can be signs of something much worse. With regular checkups, especially as you age, you have the confidence that your doctor can catch problems before they become more severe. With some conditions and diseases, you have a better chance the earlier they are found, so even if you are worried about what the diagnosis could be, you put yourself in a stronger position by seeking medical advice as early as possible.

You Can Get Peace Of Mind

If you are worried about going to the doctor because you don’t want to know the answer, then getting a checkup can give you peace of mind.

When faced with discomfort or experiencing an illness, your mind will often go to the worst places, especially if you research symptoms online rather than visiting the doctor. By finding answers to these symptoms, you will spiral into a hole that is difficult to escape from. However, if you seek professional medical advice, you can put your mind at ease, and even if the news is as bad as you expected, you can at least get peace of mind that treatment can begin.

They Help You Decide On the Right Treatment

Self-medicating is not a useful way to overcome any condition. By speaking to a doctor, they will use their years of experience to identify the correct treatment for you.

Depending on your problems, you can undergo a spinal decompression, be prescribed medication, or undergo other surgeries to solve the condition. Without a regular checkup, you risk making the issue even worse, and you may also do activities that exacerbate the problem, which leads to complications, making it incurable. With this treatment, you’re able to get back to living your life the way you want, rather than spend every day worrying about the pain and discomfort you’re in.

The Doctor Will See You Now

It is understandable why people don’t like going to see the doctor. The environment can make you uncomfortable, and in some extreme cases, you may be forced to face your mortality long before you were prepared to do so. However, medical professionals are here to help you, and if you visit them regularly, you have a much better chance of catching and overcoming potential health issues.
