Do I Need A Consultant?

Hey neighbors!!

Glad you could stop by today. Do any of you own your own business? Are you starting your own business? It might be wise to consider hiring a consultant as you formulate your business strategy. An expert who can help you get your business up and running and who can guide you in the right direction to grow your business. Or perhaps you already have a business up and running, and you have a specific problem or you need a new direction for your company. Hiring a consultant could very well be a wise choice.

Many people when they hear "consultant" think of a large firm with many employees, who take surveys, answer questions, and help businesses. Oftentimes though a consultant is an individual who is experienced in a field, who are willing and able to hire themselves out.

Let's define consultant. A consultant is a professional who provides expert advice in a particular area such as security, management, education, accountancy, law, human resources, marketing, finance, engineering, science or any of many other specialized fields.

Why would you need a consultant?
1. A consultant can find problems and issues with your business plan. He will be able to point out areas that need changed or improved.
2. A consultant can be hired for a specific job, rather than hiring a full time employee. Once they have accomplished what needs done, they move on.
3. A consultant will have expertise in the specific area that you hire him/her for. They will have extensive knowledge, to help you in your field.
4. A consultant can bring a fresh perspective to whatever problem you are trying to solve. They will see things that you do not see.
5. A consultant can help you change the focus or direction of your business. Perhaps it is time to move forward or change direction and goals.
6. A consultant can bring a spark of life to your business. If your business seems to be stagnant and doesn't appear to be growing, a consultant can help you find ways to bring new life to your business.
7. A consultant can come in to teach employees new skills so you can stay competitive with .
8. A consultant can help you decide if/where you need to cut back. Perhaps you need to downsize, rather than expand.

Remember a consultant is just a professional who will come in, look over your business and give impartial, expert advice. They do not take over your business and should you disagree with any of the advice they give, you obviously have final say. A consultant is someone who is there to help you make the tough decisions and to fine tune your business.

Could your business use any help in these areas? If so, you might want to consider hiring a consultant. Whether you are trying to solve a problem or bring new life into your business, a consultant might be exactly what you need. Before hiring a consultant, check their field of expertise. If possible, get recommendation either from friends, the Better Business Bureau, or check with other businesses that have previously employed them.

What To Do About Those Fuzzy Uninvited Guests In The Home

When we talk about pests in the home, the most common that we tend to deal with are the creepy-crawlies that find their way in. Ants, termites, and spiders, for instance. Occasionally though, you have a real chance of getting a much bigger, fuzzier unwanted guest in the home. What do you do about the fact your home is at risk of becoming a wildlife sanctuary for some truly unhealthy and even dangerous beasts? Picture by Alexas_Fotos Know the signs It doesn’t matter if you’re in a suburban home, a country cottage, or a fourth-floor apartment. Some animals can find their way just about anywhere. It’s worth knowing the signs of pest infestation so you can confirm it and act on it immediately. Spotting droppings, keeping an ear out for scratching, and looking for signs of nesting like shredded paper, scrunched leaves, and grass clippings around the home without explanation can help you start fighting back.

Baby First TV 'I Can Sign" First Words

Hey Neighbors! Here is a really neat gift idea for someone with a young child. Here we have I Can Sign (First Words) from Baby First TV. Now, I am just going to share right here that we have friends who have taught two of their children to sign at a very young age. And it works! Their children could sign before they could talk. The Dvd will teach your child many useful words that will be used in day to day life. Words like: eat, water, milk, cookie, ear, feet hands, kiss, sleep, book, mother, father, and many other words. Each word is taught in a short video clip where they will see pictures of the word/item and people signing. There is also a little character at the bottom corner of the video signing along. The Dvd can be done on English or Spanish. Also included on the Dvd are printable coloring pages that you can print off by inserting the Dvd into your computer. Inside the cover of the Dvd case is a little booklet that covers some of the words you and your child
