Five Things You Must Do To Succeed As An Entrepreneur

There are certain musts that have to be fully developed, implemented and managed for your business to succeed. There are many business musts, but this article contains some of the more important musts that are required to start, operate and grow a profitable business.

1. Do what you enjoy.

What you get out of your business in the form of personal satisfaction, financial gain, stability and enjoyment will be the sum of what you put into your business. So if you don’t enjoy what you’re doing, in all likelihood it’s safe to assume that will be reflected in the success of your business–or subsequent lack of success. In fact, if you don’t enjoy what you’re doing, chances are you won’t succeed.

2. Take what you do seriously.

You cannot expect to be effective and successful in business unless you truly believe in your business and in the goods and services that you sell. Far too many home business owners fail to take their own businesses seriously enough, getting easily sidetracked and not staying motivated and keeping their noses to the grindstone. They also fall prey to naysayers who don’t take them seriously because they don’t work from an office building, office park, storefront, or factory. Little do these skeptics, who rain on the home business owner’s parade, know is that the number of people working from home, and making very good annual incomes, has grown by leaps and bounds in recent years.

3. Plan everything.

Planning every aspect of your home business is not only a must, but also builds habits that every home business owner should develop, implement, and maintain. The act of business planning is so important because it requires you to analyze each business situation, research and compile data, and make conclusions based mainly on the facts as revealed through the research. A business plan also serves a second function, which is having your goals and how you will achieve them, on paper. You can use the plan that you create both as map to take you from point A to Z and as a yardstick to measure the success of each individual plan or segment within the plan.

4. Manage money wisely.

The lifeblood of any business enterprise is cash flow. You need it to buy inventory, pay for services, promote and market your business, repair and replace tools and equipment, and pay yourself so that you can continue to work. Therefore, all home business owners must become wise money managers to ensure that the cash keeps flowing and the bills get paid. There are two aspects to wise money management.

1. The money you receive from clients in exchange for your goods and services you provide (income)
2. The money you spend on inventory, supplies, wages and other items required to keep your business operating. (expenses)
   

   5. Remember it’s all about the customer.

   Your home business is not about the products or services that you sell. Your home business is not about the prices that you charge for your goods and services. Your home business is not about your competition and how to beat them. Your business is all about your customers, or clients, period. After all, your customers are the people that will ultimately decide if your business goes boom or bust. Everything you do in business must be customer focused, including your policies, warranties, payment options, operating hours, presentations, advertising and promotional campaigns and website. In addition, you must know who your customers are inside out and upside down.

The horrifying case of the husband-and-wife who deal in human parts

Arthur Rathburn as he walks out of a federal courthouse in Detroit last month. 

 

For nearly seven years, Arthur Rathburn and his wife, Elizabeth, ran a black-market business dealing diseased human body parts, federal prosecutors say.
He dismembered the bodies with a chainsaw, stored the parts — including heads and torsos — and prepared them for shipping, while she took orders from customers, according to court documents.
The Rathburns were charged earlier this year after investigators say they discovered that the couple from Michigan had been renting out often-diseased body parts to medical and dental students.
“This alleged scheme to distribute diseased body parts not only defrauded customers from the monetary value of their contracts, but also exposed them and others to infection,” U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade said in a January statement. “The alleged conduct risked the health of medical students, dental students and baggage handlers.”
The grisly case took a new turn earlier this week when Elizabeth Rathburn agreed to a plea deal, admitting that in 2012 she took body parts contaminated with hepatitis B and HIV to an American Society of Anesthesiologists conference in Washington and claimed they were free from disease, according to the agreement.
She pleaded guilty to wire fraud and agreed to testify against her estranged husband.
She also revealed that he had recently sent her a birthday present — violating a no-contact order, according to the Detroit Free Press.
“Oh, Jesus,” Arthur Rathburn snapped in court, according to the newspaper. “No contact means no contact,” his attorney said.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office said Thursday that his bond had been revoked and he had been taken into custody because he violated the order.
Arthur Rathburn came into public view when he was mentioned in a book called “Body Brokers: Inside America’s Underground Trade in Human Remains,” credited as an “investigative exposé of the lucrative business of procuring, buying, and selling human cadavers and body parts.”
It described Rathburn as “a tall man with an impressive mustache and a friendly demeanor” and said he had worked at the University of Michigan Medical School.
“At the university, he was responsible for tagging corpses and setting them up for students,” the book read. “When necessary, he arranged for the shipment of corpses to other medical schools in need of bodies, and to brokers.”
Rathburn was fired from his job at the university, which said he had been selling bodies for profit, according to the Detroit Free Press.
In 1989, the newspaper said, he set up his own shop as an independent body broker.

The Free Press reported that it wasn’t until federal authorities noticed “bizarre shipments arriving for Rathburn at Metro airport, including a bucket full of human heads that arrived from Israel one year,” that they started to investigate him.

From January 2007 until December 2013, authorities said, Arthur and Elizabeth Rathburn ran International Biological Inc., a Detroit-area corporation that purchased donated bodies from biological resource centers and rented them to researchers.
Human bodies bring in $10,000 to $100,000; brains, $600; and elbows and hands, $850, according to court records cited by the Free Press.
But they are suppose to be free of disease. Authorities said the macabre Michigan morticians rented out human remains that they knew had tested positive for hepatitis and HIV, among other diseases.
“Arthur and Elizabeth Rathburn sometimes obtained diseased remains from their suppliers at a reduced cost, due to the fact that end users of human remains generally reject infectious bodies and body parts for use in medical or dental training,” according to the indictment.
The couple would rent the remains to customers, “falsely representing to those customers that the remains were free of certain infectious diseases,” the indictment added.
The court documents said Arthur Rathburn increased the couple’s profit by not complying with standardized sanitation practices.
“Arthur Rathburn used a chainsaw, band saw and reciprocating saw to dismember bodies without taking sanitary precautions,” according to the indictment.
He “stored human heads by stacking them directly on top of each other without any protective barrier, apparently disregarding any risk of cross-contamination between infectious and non-infectious remains.”
Pools of frozen blood and bodily fluids were found in the freezers, the documents said.
The Rathburns were indicted in January on 13 counts, including wire fraud; aiding and abetting; transporting hazardous material; and making false statements.
The next month, Arthur Rathburn was released on bond.
Moments after his release, he stood on a street corner in a navy blue sweatsuit and orange Crocs, telling reporters it hadn’t been easy.
“I’m doing all right,” he said, according to the Free Press. “Or at least I’m trying to.”
If convicted, Arthur Rathburn could face up to 20 years in prison.
On Monday, Elizabeth Rathburn took her plea deal in the case.
In 2012, authorities said, she took diseased body parts that the Rathburns’ company had purchased at a discount to the American Society of Anesthesiologists conference; to do so, she filled out a form declaring that the remains had tested negative for HIV and hepatitis A, B and C, according to the plea agreement.
The court documents say conference organizers would not have accepted the specimens “had the organization known of the positive HIV or hepatitis test results.”
Under the plea deal, she agreed to pay $55,225 in restitution to the American Society of Anesthesiologists.
Elizabeth Rathburn’s sentencing is set for July 18. She faces up to 10 months in jail.
Her attorney could not immediately be reached for comment.

Roy Hodgson condemns disgraced former England winger Adam Johnson

England manager Roy Hodgson joined the condemnation of former international Adam Johnson after he was jailed for engaging in sexual activity with a 15-year-old girl.
The 28-year-old was sentenced to six years on Thursday for taking advantage of the besotted teenage Sunderland fan.
Johnson started his career at Middlesbrough and won the league with Manchester City, with whom he won all 12 of his England caps, before joining Sunderland.
England manager Hodgson was in charge for Johnson’s final two international appearances and decried the winger.
“I don’t think it’s fair to put on us that we should suddenly now start with a damning judgement on the fact that three or four years ago he was playing well for Manchester City and got into an England squad,” Hodgson said.
“He was chosen purely and simply on his footballing ability at that time and we took advantage of it. Since that time, of course, circumstances have contrived to put him in the position where he is today.
“I have no wish to sort of comment on the case itself. I think enough has been said, enough has been done. My views on the subject are no different to anybody else’s, any reasonable human being.
“I condemn what he did and unfortunately he has to pay the price for it, but I don’t think it should be linked in particular to England, the fact he once played for England or that we once were actually quite a lot closer to him when he was a player under my leadership and a colleague of Gary’s [Gary Cahill, who was sat alongside Hodgson].”
Asked whether Johnson should keep his England caps, Hodgson said: “I have no idea about that. I didn’t know you could take England caps away.
“You’d have to go to the FA with that one if that is something which is done on a regular basis, if people who sin in some way have to give caps back. I’ve never heard of that.”
On Wednesday at Bradford Crown Court, Orlando Pownall, defending, told the judge that Johnson had “been stripped of his England caps”.
Despite Mr Pownall’s assertion, reports indicate that the player has not been stripped of the 12 he won. No other England internationals with criminal convictions have been stripped of their caps.
On Wednesday, the FA released a short film exploring the policies and practices the governing body, and the wider football industry, has in place with regards to safeguarding and child protection issues.

Adele Set To Embark On Five-Year Break From Music To Raise Son

Multi award-winning British singer Adele is set to embark on a five-year break from music to focus on raising her three-year-old son, Angelo.

The singer embarked on a world tour in February and will bring it to a close in November, after which she expects to focus on her son with boyfriend Simon Konecki.

A source told The Sun: ‘She has told her closest pals she will step away from the limelight for five years before she next brings out an album.
‘She’s still very new to motherhood and doesn’t want to miss out on Angelo growing up. It will be a hard thing for fans to hear.”

She stunned the world with her latest album – 25 – in November, after a three-year break to raise her son.

She is yet to personally confirm the development.

Morning sex boosts immune system, cuts risk of stroke

The morning is the best time of the day to get passionate with your partner.

According to sexual health and wellbeing expert Samantha Evans, getting frisky first thing brings a tonne of health benefits; including boosting mood and helping you look younger. “Men accumulate testosterone as they sleep and from the time they wake up, they have a three hour window when they are brimming with testosterone,” she told Daily Star. “That early morning erection is not called ‘morning wood’ or ‘morning glory’ for nothing. “Whatever it is called, having an erection on waking up is as good a reason as any to initiate a little morning sex.” Getting passionate first thing helps give the brain a boost too, meaning you’ll get over that sluggish, post sleep, feeling quicker than ever. It’s also a good way to put your relationship first, as couples who are intimate regularly tend to feel more connected. All that’s left is to get over the morning breath and any sweaty pongs which might be lurking. That might seem hard, but a serious session should block out any fears about your partner’s hygiene. “Adults who start their day with sex are more likely to be happier and healthier than those who start their day with a cup of coffee and breakfast,” Samantha added. Morning romps can help improve your immune system, as people who get fruity one or more times a week tends to have higher levels of antibodies. These are the things which help ward off illness. They’ll improve your mood, because orgasms increase levels of serotonin, the chemical that helps us feel jolly. Orgasms also help boost oestrogen levels, a hormone while helps skin and hair look glossy, plus a good romp will improve circulation.

#Empire cast and crew want Beyoncé, Adele, and more to guest star

Despite a joke from Terrence Howard, O.J. probably won’t be on Empire’s mid-season premiere on March 30. But, speaking during a Friday night’s PaleyFest panel, the cast and crew revealed the celebs they’d like to see join the show’s impressive guest star roster.
Howard’s wish list includes Adele and Kendrick Lamar, while the name Prince was uttered, and Gabourey Sidibe kept whispering, “Beyoncé, Beyoncé, Beyoncé” into the mic.
Previously, there have been rumblings from team Empire​ about a guest appearance by Mariah Carey. Actor Jussie Smollett teased a Carey cameo last August but backpedaled in September. And series creator Lee Daniels told EW in September that “Mariah is coming on.”
Director Sanaa Hamri told EW outside of the panel, “Well, from my point of view, I’d like to bring more artists on to perform. I have a wishlist of having D’Angelo on the show, Kendrick Lamar, and French Montana … not too many guest stars, but just about integrating those artists. My passion is music.”
Actress Kaitlin Doubleday also remarked, “The guest stars are amazing, but I think they loved the family in the first season and learning who they were and the drama just between these seven people.”

The Richest Women In The World 2016

With the global economy in turmoil in early 2016, women struggled to maintain their share of the Forbes list of the World’s Billionaires. The total number of female billionaires fell to 190 from 197 last year, and women make up 10% of the world’s 1,810 ten-figure fortunes.
View the full list of the 2016 billionaire rankings here.
Over the past year, 6 women billionaires died and the fortunes of 31 fell below $1 billion. But 27 women joined the ranks of the billionaires for the first time and another 3 returned to billionaire status after falling off in previous years.
Liliane Bettencourt of France is back in the seat of richest woman in the world, and is also the 11th richest person on the Forbes list. Her fortune slipped $4 billion in the past year as shares of L’Oreal fell. But the heiress was not just a victim of the markets. According to a French court, eight people, including several former wealth managers and celebrity photographer François-Marie Banier, were found guilty in May 2015 of conning the 93-year-old Parisian out of millions of euros. Banier was sentenced to three years in prison and ordered to pay Bettencourt $172 million in damages. The court will hear his appeal in May 2016. Bettencourt and her family are worth $36.1 billion.
Alice Walton is the second richest woman in the world with $32.3 billion to her name. Her net worth is down $7.1 billion from last year due to a drop in the price of Wal-Mart stock. Walton, unlike her brothers Rob and Jim, is not actively involved in running the mega superstore chain her father Sam Walton founded in 1962. But she still shares in the wealth reaped by Wal-Mart. Instead, Alice focuses on collecting art and making political donations, including $25,000 to a super-PAC supporting Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.
Jacqueline Mars, the third richest woman in the world, is worth $23.4 billion, down $3.2 billion this year. Mars and her brothers inherited pet food and candy maker Mars in 1999 after their father’s death. None of them play an active role in the company, which has $33 billion in annual revenue.

Another candy heiress, Maria Franca Fissolo of Italy, snags the title of fourth richest woman with a net worth of $22.1 billion. She is the widow of Michele Ferrero, who built Ferrero Group and died on Valentine’s Day 2015. The private company is owned by Fissolo and her son Giovanni, the CEO; its products include the popular Nutella spread, Kinder chocolates and Tic-Tac mints.
Susanne Klatten of Germany, the world’s fifth richest woman, secretly received additional shares of BMW from her mother over the years but the transfers only came to light when her mother, Johanna Quandt, last year’s ninth richest woman, died in August 2015. Klatten, worth $18.5 billion, and her brother Stefan Quandt (also a billionaire) together own almost half of BMW. Klatten is credited with steering German pharmaceutical and chemical company Altana AG toward $2 billion in annual sales.
Christy Walton, last year’s richest woman and daughter-in-law of Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton, slid out of the top ten this year after previously sealed information became available detailing how her late-husband John’s estate was divided between Christy Walton and their 29-year-old son Lukas. As a result Forbes lowered Christy’s net worth to $5.2 billion and inducted another young Walton to the billionaires club. Lukas Walton joins the list with a net worth of $10.4 billion.

Net worths for the 2016 Billionaires List were calculated using stock prices and exchange rates from February 12, 2016. Some net worths have already changed since that date.

Woman survives Brussels terror attack, pens note to unborn baby

Sneha Mehta wrote a letter to her unborn child after surviving the terrorist attack at the Brussels Airport.

• People cowered behind cars, sobbing, too frightened to move
• Mother: Our unborn child gave us the will to survive
• "I knew I had to protect you," mother writes in letter

(CNN)What Sneha Mehta remembers most is not so much the noise, the debris and the fear. It is instead the kindness of strangers.

She and her husband, Sameep, had just flown in from Abu Dhabi to Brussels on Tuesday when bombs went off in the airport and the ceiling started falling on their heads.

The arrivals area is below ground level, and it was difficult to know what to do. Sameep thought maybe they should drop to the floor in case gunfire broke out. But they decided instead to try to make it out of there.

She thought for a moment that she might die there. But she didn't fear death, she said. She was with the man she loved.

Then the moment passed.

She knew 'for sure' she would survive

Fortunately, the Mehtas knew the layout of the airport. They made their way to the parking garage. They saw people cowering behind cars and sobbing, too frozen with fear even to run.

Police and rescue crews were on the scene almost immediately, doing everything they possibly could to help people.

But she knew she would survive. "I knew for sure," Sneha said. "I knew for sure."

It was for the sake of the baby. She is 16 weeks pregnant.

The Mehtas ran onto the highway. A cab stopped to pick them up. The driver not only took them to the hospital, he also talked to them the whole way -- just what they needed at a time like that.

And then, at Sint Augustinus hospital, there was a beautiful moment: The ultrasound exam showed that the baby -- the Mehtas don't know yet whether it is a boy or a girl -- appeared to be healthy and content, safe in the womb, sucking its thumb.

'May you always be brave and healthy'

When she and her husband got home to Antwerp, Sneha felt she had to write a letter to her baby. Maybe it will be unsealed when the child is 16. Maybe later. She hasn't decided yet.

An earlier ultrasound of the Mehta's unborn child.

But she needed an outlet. And she needed, she said, to write the letter while the feelings were fresh and raw -- to capture them before they faded.

"Hi Sweetheart," she wrote.

"I don't know if we already acknowledged this with you in person, but when you were 16 weeks old, mum and dad were in an explosion at Brussels Airport.

"And no matter where humanity is today, I just want to tell you that life is a wonderful thing, and the world is really full of remarkable people.

"You didn't just give mum and dad faith and reason to live, you gave the awareness and presence of mind like never before.

"I felt more alive than I ever have, and I knew I had to protect you, so I was calm, composed and fully aware that we will survive.

"When we reached Sint-Augustinus emergency, and we saw you oblivious and sucking at your thumb at the ultrasound, and doing your general acrobatics, all the mistrust, hate and angst for the terrorist attack vaporized.

"I do hope with all my heart that you are born into a better world, and if not, then you do absolute best to make it that.

"You are absolutely precious to us, and have already been a hero today. I guess the world has sent so much love and hope your way, you owe your life to reciprocating that goodness.

"May you always be brave and healthy. We love you beyond words.

"Mum and Dad"

'Regardless of race, color or background ...'

And now, when she thinks of that Tuesday, Sneha thinks not so much of the few people so disfigured by hate that they perpetrated the attack.

She thinks instead of the emergency people doing their work and more, she said, with all their hearts. She thinks of all the drivers who stopped along the highway to pick up people sobbing at the side of the road.

She thinks of the community in which she lives. "And people are still coming together, regardless of race, color or background," she said.

She thinks instead of all life has to offer.

"It's a very unfortunate event," she said."But it's still largely a beautiful world."

Nigerian Women Are Prostitutes: Al Jazeera Article Sends Nigerians Into Angry Mode

Minister of Women Affairs, Aisha Jummai Alhassan

An article published online this morning by international news medium Al Jazeera has elicited furious reactions from Nigerians.
The offending article, which was posted on Al Jazeera English’s twitter handle, was headlined: “Nigeria’s first female mechanic provides a way out of prostitution for Nigerian women”.
The article…
Many Nigerians who took to social media to express their anger at the article, questioned the choice of words used by the headline writer and wondered how the media organisation got to know that the subject of the story was the first female Nigerian mechanic.
They equally vehemently berated the news organisation for suggesting that all Nigerian women were prostitutes.
