    SFI: Home Business Reality
    The reality of home business ifs that not everyone makes it. In fact I knew from my research that 95% are bound to fail. I decided I was going to look for something free. I didn’t want to waste my money if the statistics showed that more than likely I would fail. I found SFI it was free to join so I signed up.When I joined SFI and started as a free member I was skeptical about

    Why Mom Or Dad Want To Work From Home
    Do you dream about being able to stay at home with your kids? You don't want to put your kids in day care anymore. You don't want to work just to earn enough money to pay the daycare fee. Well, you might be ready to try to find and realize some small business ideas. There are many things that you can do as a work at home mom or dad.Here's some of the benefits of working from ho
    One day at the office I was taken quite aback when I attempted to open an Excel spreadsheet I'd created and was prompted with the message: File in Use. Open as a read-only file? File in use? What was that all about? It was, after all, my file. Who else would be using it?

    The answer to that last question was, of course, anyone. Anyone at all could be using it. I worked in a company with 200+ employees and most of our documents were saved on drives with shared access. My file, essentially, was available to anyone in the entire company, from upper management to the receptionist, on a whim.

    With large network systems and often multiple branches, many companies these days have shared drives where employees in different regions can access the same files. Often, those companies limit the size of the hard drives on individual computers to minimize the saving of files onto the computer itself, forcing employees to store their important files where all can see.

    Some files, by nature, need to be shared. Often spreadsheets and other documents are passed from person to person and department to department via shared drives such as my company used, or via email. Still, other files are meant to be private records, not available to all eyes. Either way, you'll want to ensure the integrity of your important documents.

    There are a number of ways to protect important files. Here are some suggestions to get you started:

    -- For files that are intended for your eyes only, add a password. Most commercial software such as Excel and Word offer the option to password protect your document. Consult your software manual or the help file for further information. Be sure to choose a secure password and don't share it. Bad choices for passwords include your birthday, spouse's name or child's name. Good choices incl

    Free Grant Money
    Every year, Congress allocates billions of dollars in the form of free grant money to aid major projects that would ultimately benefit communities. Allotment for education grants alone reached an estimated $67 billion annually.Free grant money can be availed of from various government agencies. But this free grant money does not come without a price tag. This may sound ironic bu

    Saving Time and Money by Estimating The Cost Of Construction
    A contractor knows that creating an estimate is the first step in securing a job. The client will look at all of the estimates and choose the one that best suites his or her needs. Estimating a small home is pretty basic. An experienced estimator can look at the square footage of the home to be built and have a good idea of what it will cost to complete the project. He or she also know

    Office Affiars - A Special Kind of Stress
    Affairs between coworkers are not something new. For the most part the common reaction among the onlookers is one of surprise. Sometimes it is also one of criticism or condemnation. Occasionally it also provokes jealousy, as was the recent unprecedented case among the astronauts. Looked at from a broader perspective, affairs at work bear much in common with affairs at church.

    People Who Run Good Meetings: They Really Do Exist!
    Most people hate going to meetings. They get tired of wasting time, off-the-topic discussions, and generally not accomplishing much. Each meeting participant bears a certain amount of responsibility in these situations, of course, but the majority of the blame falls squarely on the person charged with running, or facilitating, the meeting.A good chair knows how to make sure the
    ntended for your eyes only, add a password. Most commercial software such as Excel and Word offer the option to password protect your document. Consult your software manual or the help file for further information. Be sure to choose a secure password and don't share it. Bad choices for passwords include your birthday, spouse's name or child's name. Good choices include both letters and numbers. Don't hesitate to change passwords often.

    -- For files that others need to see, some commercial software will allow you to add a password for those making changes. Others will be able to open the document as a read-only file. They can look, but they can't touch!

    -- For files that others need to see and perhaps even touch, make a backup and password protect that one. Better yet, put it on disk and keep it in a safe place. Just remember to update both copies when you make changes to the document.

    -- Check with your company to see if there are secure drives. Some companies, such as the one I worked for, have drives that have private access. Documents are stored on a shared server but viewing is restricted to the same login as the person who created the document.

    -- Don't hesitate to ask your company's IT department about other options. That's what they're there for.

    Though it is normally a practice for all records in a company to be backed up on a regular basis, it's also sometimes a rather large production for IT to retrieve one small document off of those backups. So be responsible for the integrity of your own files. It may save you a whole lot of grief one day.
