But if you address the common reasons for failure up front, you'll be much less likely to fall victim to them yourself. According to statistics published by the Small Business Administration (SBA), seven out of ten new employer establishments survive at least two years and 51 percent survive at least five years. This is a far cry from the previous long-held belief that 50 percent of businesses fail in the first year and 95 percent fail within five years. Better success rates notwithstanding, a significant percentage of new businesses do fail. Expert opinions abound about what a business owner should and shouldn't do to keep a new business afloat in the perilous waters of the entrepreneurial sea. There are, however, key factors that -- if not avoided -- will be certain to weigh down a business and possibly sink it forevermore. 00:32:00Jim Whitenobusiness,failure,vision,money,planningWhen you're starting a new business, the last thing you want to focus on is failure.

The resulting loss of wealth led to sharp cutbacks in consumer spending. This loss of consumption, combined with the financial market chaos triggered by the bursting of the bubble, also led to a collapse in business investment. As consumer spending and business investment dried up, massive job loss followed. In 2008 and 2009, the U.S. labor market lost 8.4 million jobs, or 6.1% of all payroll employment. This was the most dramatic employment contraction (by far) of any recession since the Great Depression. By comparison, in the deep recession that began in 1981, job loss was 3.1%, or only about half as severe. 00:59:00Jim Whitenoamerica,working,jobs,economy,leadershipThe Great Recession—which officially lasted from December 2007 to June 2009—began with the bursting of an 8 trillion dollar housing bubble.

Given tight federal budget restraints and shrinking transportation trust fund revenues, states and the federal government need to find alternative financial resources to finance needed transportation infrastructure projects, especially maintaining and expanding the capacity of the Interstate Highway System. Increased use of public–private partnership contracts (P3s) promises to help finance some of the needed infrastructure projects, but the federal government needs to allow states more freedom to use P3s, and states need to adopt the policies and practices needed to use P3s effectively. P3s are not the solution to every transportation infrastructure challenge, but they can be used to address some of the challenges. 00:59:00Jim Whitenoprivate,partnerships,infrastructure,jobs,americansGiven tight federal budget restraints and shrinking transportation trust fund revenues, states and the federal government need to find alternative financial10 Things Employees Want Mosthttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/cos/2012/01/07/10-things-employees-want-mostBusinesshttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/cos/2012/01/07/10-things-employees-want-most/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/cos/2012/01/07/10-things-employees-want-mostSat, 07 Jan 2012 18:00:00 GMT10 Things Employees Want Most At the end of each calendar year we review all our work and research and then publish the findings of The 10 things employees want most from the company they work for and my thoughts about the findings.

The state of the security environment in Mexico has direct repercussions on border security and customs management, the cost of international commerce for American companies and the capacity of USA to be competitive by taking advantage of NAFTA. In the security ecosystem of the border region, actions taken by clandestine and legitimate actors impact the whole business environment of the North American block in unpredictable ways. How violent is Mexico? What is happening on the war on drugs and how does this so-called war affects the security and the commercial and financial interests of the US in Mexico? What is the role of innovation in the war on drugs? What is the current state of the security debate in Mexico? What are the key variables –the wildcards–that are shaping the patterns and might help us identify different scenarios? Knowing the answers to these questions is essential to understand the second and third degree consequences of the the Mexican security environment beyond the Mexican borders. It also requires patience and depth to understand the complexities of a binational security ecosystem that cannot be explained in soundbites or alarmist media reports.

Terrorism conducted in the name of animal liberation and preservation of natural resources targeted a small number of industries, narrowly focused on their particular passion. Meat packers, fur farmers, loggers, and research labs are some examples. In the late turn of this century, an interesting partnership developed between the extreme factions of animal liberationists, deep ecology extremists and criminal anarchists. The relationship evolved out of the anti-globalization movement and by the middle of the first decade of the 21st century, newly formed “green anarchists” had developed a significant anti-corporate, anti-government ideology that transcended unique business interests and essentially raised all corporate and government operations to the top of the target list. Recent trends in their targeting decisions and tactics are particularly troubling. The dynamics of the anti-globalization movement begun in the 1990’s in the US are being replicated in the early stages of the “Occupy” movement. We saw very large and destructive protest activity reach a crescendo in the early 2000’s but the bar was raised concerning acceptable tactics when exercising 1st Amendment rights. We are already seeing signs of the insertion of criminal elements into the “Occupy” movement and the similarities with the anti-globalization movement are striking.

The survey also finds that the recession has led to a new frugality in Americans‘ spending and borrowing habits; a diminished set of expectations about their retirements and their children‘s future; and a concern that it will take several years, at a minimum, for their family finances and house values to recover. Not all survey findings are bleak. More than six-in-ten (62%) Americans believe that their personal finances will improve in the coming year, and a small but growing minority (15%) now says the national economy is in good shape. These green shoots of public optimism are not evenly distributed—nor do they always sprout from the most likely sources. Several groups that have been hardest hit by this recession (including blacks, young adults and Democrats) are significantly more upbeat than their more sheltered counterparts (including whites, older adults and Republicans) about a recovery both for themselves and for the national economy. This report analyzes economic outcomes, behavioral changes and attitudinal trends related to the recession among the full adult population and among different subgroups. It is based on a Pew Research Center survey of 2,967 adults conducted from May 11 to May 31, 2010, on cellular and landline telephones and also on a Pew Research analysis of government economic and demographic data.

Do such calamities in fact follow a predictable pattern? Can we plan for the unforeseen by thinking about the unthinkable?   Ted Lewis explains the pattern of catastrophes and their underlying cause. In a provocative tour of a volatile world, he guides the reader through mega-fires, fragile power grids, mismanaged telecommunication systems, global terrorist movements, migrating viruses, volatile markets and Internet storms. Modern societies want to avert catastrophes, but the drive to make things faster, cheaper, and more efficient leads to self-organized criticality-the condition of systems on the verge of disaster. This is a double-edged sword. Everything from biological evolution to political revolution is driven by some collapse, calamity or crisis. To avoid annihilation but allow for progress, we must change the ways in which we understand the patterns and manage systems.

So what is the problem? 66% of major raods in California are in poor or mediocre condition and the biggest contributor to vehicular deaths. 29% of California's bridges and overpasses are structurally deficient or functionally absolete. Traffic congestion costs motorist $18.7 billion annually in lost time and wasted fuel. Poor roads costs motorists $13.5 billion annually due to lost productivity, lost earnings, medical costs and emergency services. Californians purchase approximately 18 billion gallons of fuel per year, for a cost to every motorist of $2.20 dollars per gallon casuded by these issues. Revenues to meet the needs of repairing roads and relieving congestion have fallen short by $11 billion annually for the past ten years. The average tax on fuel in the U.S. is about 50 cents per gallon, in California it is 53.7 cents. In any other industralized nation, it averages $3.50 to $5.50 per gallon.

Rick developed this work after teaching meditation for 20 years and realizing that wholeness experience alone does not change subconscious patterns and by itself it is not enough for transformation. He has an international practice and travels around the country offering seminars and also training people to do this work either personally or professionally.   He is the author of The Light-Traveler's Notebook and 18 clearing CDs. Rick has a Ph.D. in education from the University of Texas at Austin and is a minister of Religious Science.    Rick has a remarkable ability. He can read the subconscious and the energy field and determine what limits beliefs, retained emotions and energetic attachments are the root of our unintended life experiences and recurring patterns. When these blocks are released there is an experience of what Rick calls Inherent Nature - basically, who we are without our stuff. Five things Dr Moss will teach: 1. Why we have blocks to manifesting and fulfilling certain goals and intentions. 2. How to better access our core Goodness and capacities. 3. A tool to help you release stress. 4.
