Start-up tips for an online business

· Leverage on technology as much as you can.
· Let your business be truly online. You have to register a domain name (www.GoDaddy.com), have a web hosting account (www.hostgator.com), and an autoresponder (www.aweber.com).
· Build a community around your business by creating a forum or blog.
· Don’t wait till you have a perfect system before you start as you may never start. Don’t worry; just be ready to learn fast.
· Answer all emails quickly and resolve all complaints.
· Don’t try to compete with established business using lower prices. You will force yourself out of business.
· No advantage is permanent, always look for new advantages, else competitors will run you out of business.
· Specialize; you don’t have to be the all-in-all of your online business. You can’t be blogging, writing articles and promoting at the same time
· You will have very few customers. Be a lot more efficient than bigger competitors who have to deal with a lot more customers. Use this advantage well and it won’t be long before you will lure your competitors’ customers.
· Be ready to grow slowly.

Tips for surviving an economic crisis

· Be creative in terms of generating extra income. In addition to your regular job, be prepared to take extra jobs.
· Cut down on cost. This creates room for greater savings, which help cushion, the effects of the tough economic times.
· Note that every economic crisis makes new millionaires of those with good plans and right vision.
· Avoid lavishing money on things that are not important.
· Remain hopeful while preparing for the worst.

Tips for a perfect shave

· It is better to shave after your morning bath because your beard is already soft and ready for cutting.
· Shave in the direction of your beard growth. This reduces chances of getting irritation and razor bumps.
· First, shave easy-to-reach parts of your face, cheeks and neck.
· The stubble on your chin and lips is much harder. Shave these parts last.
· Rinse your razor often while shaving to prevent the blades from clogging.
· After shaving, rinse your face and neck with cold water to close the pores.
· Use a good aftershave rather than spirit because it restores the moisture lost from your skin during shaving.

Tips for driving efficiently

· Keep your car well serviced and checked. Correctly maintained cars operate more efficiently.
· Check your tyre pressure every month. Under-inflated tyres can increase fuel consumption by up to 4%
· Remove unnecessary weight from your boot or back seat. The heavier the car. The harder the engine has to work.
· Close your windows at higher speeds. This reduces wind resistance and can lower your fuel consumption.
· Use air-conditioning only when necessary. Unnecessary use increases fuel consumption.
· Start driving soon after starting the engine and turn off the engine when stationary for more than one minute.
· Drive smoothly. Every time you accelerate or brake suddenly, your engine uses more fuel.
· When accelerating change your gear as early as possible. Higher gears are more economical in terms of fuel consumption.
· Look at the traffic as far ahead as possible in order to avoid unnecessary stopping and starting within the flow of traffic.
· Consider car sharing. It helps to reduce fuel consumption.

Tips for avoiding slips in the bathroom

· Clean up water and other liquids immediately. Don’t wax your bathroom floor.
· Marbles are not good for your bathroom. Instead, use non-slip treads to give a non-slip texture on the floor of your bathroom.
· Install grab bars by toilets and in shower/bathtub.
· Incline your bathroom floor towards a central drain point, as such; it becomes difficult for water to pool.
· Ensure there are no “lips” or differences in level between tiles on the floor, which can increase the risk of tripping.
· Make sure your bathroom is well lit. It is easy to trip and fall in poorly lit areas.
. All phone calls can wait till you are done bathing.

In search of my destiny

I have traversed the length and breadth of nature’s world.
Been to the mountain top;
And the depths of valleys.
Have robbed shoulders with kings;
And laid with earth’s most wretched.
All in search of my destiny.

Have you seen the blueprint of my life?
Have toiled in search for it.
Here is my palm;
On it are prints, unique.
Just like my destiny.
One mystery, one destination.

Am off again;
On another torturous journey,
In search of my destiny.
When my finger prints touches it;
Unto greatness would I be ushered into.
