If you are considering the purchase of a property for investment, one you plan to rent to others, we need to talk. Too many folks buy these properties and then find that, unlike conventional businesses, rental property management has its own set of regulations- and tax considerations. (Part of the reason is that real estate businesses, while cash flow positive, often create negative income considerations for taxes, since depreciation can be a substantial factor. And, as opposed to other businesses that don’t show a profit for 3 of 5 years, these are allowed to continue and are not considered “hobbies”.)

Liebster Award
So, my friend, Julia Neiman, nominated me for the Liebster award. I am not quite sure why it’s called that, since it related to business, but—I didn’t develop the award. I’m honored by the nomination and will observe it’s requirements now… (By the way, answering these questions will make this a fairly long blog. Now that I have finished editing, I know the number of words are 984 ) First, 11 facts about myself, in random order… Continue reading Liebster Award
We were wrong!
I was a man on a mission. I “learned” early on that, if you wanted to make a name for yourself in science or engineering, you had to get it well on the road by the time you were 30.

Exercise reframe
Roy A. Ackerman, PhD, EA
We are obese. No, not just Americans, but most of the “First World” nations’ citizens. It’s not just because we eat those 942 calorie fast food sandwiches. It’s because we have become sedentary. Oh, let’s cut the crap- it’s because we’ve become lazy. We don’t exercise.
Superman. Green Lantern. You.
I read a post the other day that really bothered me. Really, really bothered me. No, I won’t quote the source here, because that would only embarrass the person who posted it. This person thought she was promoting her husband in her kids’ and grandkids’ eyes by telling them he was “Superman”.
My wishes for you…
Line theory

Are you ready to grow your business? No, I don’t mean to increase your sales (although that may be part of the issue). I’m talking about increasing your bottom line. A lot.

Women Rule The World
A guest post by Ryan M. Rivera, who requested to share this piece with you.
Gone are the days when women’s role is limited to being a homemaker. Thanks to the brave people who pioneered the waves of feminist movements in the past decades, women have attained great empowerment, and they are now given respect and proper treatment. Gone are the days when women are inferior to men. Now, equal rights are given to both sexes. One is neither dominant nor inferior to the other.
