A.M. My advice for the up and coming and aspiring author is that if you have a dream of becoming an author - or even speaker, or motivator - don't let your fears or anyone stop you from achieving your dreams. They ( your dreams) are there for the taking.
scrap metal yard near me With the corporate downsizing, economic downturn and other factors, there are a lot of very knowledgeable buyers out there looking for one of the very few good business to buy. This means that you, as a buyer have a lot of competition. Consequently, you need to be well prepared. Professional business buyers, report that it takes anywhere from 3 months to 3 years to find the right business. So, if anything, what can be done to speed this looking process and at the end finally get a good business?
Two months again passed and David called and said, "I need to see you today." He proceeded to tell me about a Car Wash Soap manufacturing company that was suppose to be making $500,000 profit per year. The asking price was $2 Million. David wanted several things from me. He wanted my opinion of the business, he wanted me to help get the price down to a more reasonable amount and he wanted me to verify the income. It took me 30 hours of reviewing the books and talking to the seller to determine that the business was making only $350,000 per year including what was not on the books. The books were made complicated, intentionally so that no one could understand what was going on.
Since those early years I have many eye-opening experiences along these lines. I had a retired dentist call me who had two five-gallon plastic buckets FULL of gold he'd saved over his lengthy career. He would call me once a year when he'd need to sell ten or fifteen ounces of his hoard to pay taxes. I came upon a farmer whose barn was filled with nearly 10,000 catalytic converters; a scrap yard with over five thousand; I've had people offer me all kinds of scrap materials with only the promise of future payment.

nearest scrap yard got a pretty warm reception from the town dentist when I told him I pay CASH for scrap gold and amalgam. He pulled a box out of a drawer which was FILLED with shiny yellow gold. Since I had no competition and he obviously was reluctant to package his scrap and risk mailing it to a refiner besides the tax implications of receiving a large check for it), he was very happy with my (admittedly low) CASH offer!
Consider extendable poles. These poles are reusable, reducing labor and issues associated with using tape. Often marketed as cargo bars for pickup trucks, these ratcheting poles extend and clamp the poly to the ceiling no matter what the height or surface. The poles also negate the problems of disturbing the wall and tape destroying the surface upon removal. Although prices differ throughout the region, extendable ratcheting poles can be purchased inexpensively.
