Finding motivation: what to do when you don’t feel like doing anything

admin

“The measure of your success usually comes down to who wins the battle raging between the two of you. The ‘you’ who wants to stop, give up, or take it easy, and the ‘you’ who chooses to beat that.” that would stand in the way of your success: complacency.” chris widener

In all my interactions with people, I have never come across anyone, regardless of their level of success, who sometimes just doesn’t want to do the things they need to and want to do. It is part of human nature that there will be times when, despite everything we need to do, and even want, we will find ourselves not wanting to do anything. And what separates those who will succeed from those who will maintain the status quo, is the ability in those very crucial moments when we make decisions about what we will do, to choose to find the inner motivation that will allow us to conquer our complacency and take action. .

I realize I face this problem in my life on a regular basis, so the following success strategies aren’t just “pie in the sky techniques,” but proven ways to get yourself to do it, even when you don’t feel like it. Do nothing.

Honestly assess whether or not you need a break. This is the first thing I usually do, the thing I find I don’t want to get to a specific action. The fact is that many times we will have been working very hard and the lethargy that we are feeling is really our body and our emotions telling us that we simply need a break. And this is where true intellectual honesty is needed because when we don’t need a break, our mind still tells us we need a break. But sometimes we need a break. I will give you a good example. I don’t particularly like to exercise, but I do almost every day. Sometimes, before going to the club, I find myself thinking that I didn’t feel like going. Most of the time I’m just being lazy. However, sometimes I find that my body needs a break. So from time to time I will take a day or two break from exercise. The benefits of this are twofold: One, my body gets a break to regenerate. Two, after a day or two, I start to miss my workout and look forward to going to the gym.

Other examples: Perhaps you are a salesperson who has been calling customers for a week straight, day and night. You wake up one morning and you don’t feel like doing it anymore. Well, take a break in the morning. Go to a coffee shop and read the newspaper. Go to the driving range and hit some golf balls. Take a break and then do it again!

Start small. I am now at a point in my exercise program where a typical day of exercise for me consists of 30 to 45 minutes of aerobic exercise and about 30 minutes of lifting weights. So when I find myself not wanting to get up and go to the gym, I sometimes commit to going and doing a smaller workout. Rather than decide not to go, I will commit to 15 to 20 minutes of aerobic exercise and 15 to 30 minutes of weight lifting. This is also good for two reasons. One, I actually get some exercise that day. And two, it keeps me from getting into a cycle of giving up when I don’t feel like taking action.

Other examples: Maybe you’re a writer who just doesn’t want to write today. Instead of the long day of writing you had planned, decide that you will at least outline a couple of new articles. At least you’ll do this, and you may have noticed that you get in the mood to write after all.

Change your routine. I’ve found that 30-45 minutes on the treadmill every day is what keeps me in the best shape and burns the most calories. Now let me be very frank. I find running on the treadmill extremely boring. I can usually do it myself, but sometimes I need to vary my routine. So instead of 30 to 45 minutes on a treadmill, I’ll break my aerobic exercise routine into several different areas. I’ll do 10-15 minutes on the treadmill, 10-15 minutes on the recumbent cycle, 5-10 minutes on the rowing machine, 5-10 minutes on the stair climber, and then I’ll be back on the treadmill for five to 10 minutes. I still do my exercise, but I get bored much less.

Other examples: Maybe you’re in construction and have been working on plumbing for a week and it’s getting monotonous. Don’t do the plumbing today! Go frame in the office.

Reward yourself. One way to motivate myself to do something when I don’t feel like doing it is to tell myself that if I finish the work I need, I’ll give myself a small reward. For example, I can tell myself that if I get up and go to the club, I can take five to ten minutes off my treadmill, which will shorten my exercise routine, and I’ll allow myself to sit in the hot tub for a while. a few extra minutes. Hey it works!

Other examples: Maybe you’re a mortgage broker who feels like sleeping. Tell yourself that after the next three mortgages you close, you’ll be taking your kids to the fair or your spouse to the movies. Maybe give yourself a night on the town with old friends.

Reconnect the action with pleasure instead of pain. Psychologists have long told us that we humans tend to connect every action with pleasure or pain. Tony Robbins has popularized this further in recent years with something he calls Neural Associations. That is, we connect each action with a pleasure or pain. When we find ourselves lacking motivation, what we are probably discovering in ourselves is that we are associating the action we are thinking about with pain, rather than pleasure. For example, when I’m thinking about skipping the gym on a given day, I usually associate going and working out with not having time, the pain of working out and lifting weights, or the boredom of running on a treadmill for an extended period of time. of time. What I can do to re-associate myself is remind myself that by getting in and doing my exercise I will feel better about myself, lose weight and live longer. This brings me pleasure. When we start playing those kinds of tapes in our minds, we find that our inner motivating force is unleashed and our attitude about the action we are considering changes.

Other examples: Maybe you’re a counselor who really doesn’t want to spend your day listening to people. Your association may be that it will be boring, or that you will be inside while it is sunny outside. Instead, re-associate yourself with the truth of the matter: someone will be better off because of your care and concern. Think about your clients and the progression they’ve made recently and how you’ve been a part of that.

Face transplants in the news

admin

More akin to science fiction than scientific reality, several people have received face transplants in recent years. Now relegated to only the most horrific accidents, like most medical miracles, as techniques are perfected this type of operation will eventually become much more common. Once that happens, it’s only a matter of time until the procedure becomes available as an elective surgery for those who aren’t happy with their existing faces, or perhaps just want a new look. After all, who wants to spend their whole life with the same old face? Wouldn’t it be nice to face you again for your 25th high school reunion? And then again for 30?

Fortunately, great strides have also been made in face transplants for your kitchen (and other) cabinets. As materials and techniques have been perfected, kitchen remodeling can now be done cheaply and optionally, and when done correctly, it can be indistinguishable from a new kitchen, beautifying all those unsightly places that have embarrassed you for years.

In the not too distant past, a few brave practitioners risked their reputations using early reshaping techniques. You can choose from a catalog of about three different styles and colors for the siding, and most of them were flimsy laminate doors that had no detail. To make matters worse, the material was bonded to the face of the cabinets with contact cement, a terribly toxic and highly flammable adhesive that had a life expectancy of 10 to 15 years. Not very tempting!

So scientists at Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing (3M) went to work and created a new adhesive that is non-toxic, non-flammable, has no odor, and gets stronger as it ages. There is nothing better than that! So someone (not sure exactly who) developed a material called Rigid-Thermofoil, also known as RTF. This new wonder product is a vinyl-like material that is fused with a furniture grade composition board. Using computer-controlled heat and pressure to create the finished product, it’s flexible, much stronger than the old laminates of yesteryear, and can be formed into different shaped doors, allowing manufacturers to create hundreds of exciting styles. But they didn’t stop there. New photographic techniques were developed to duplicate the beauty of real wood. This year, they even launched an RTF product that looks like stainless steel, creating a very attractive contemporary look for your cabinets.

In 1951, Raymond Lowey, the famous industrial designer (and one of my personal heroes) wrote a book called Never leave well enough alone. Apparently, manufacturers who make wood doors for cladding recently discovered this book because they decided to introduce replacement doors in new shapes and species of wood. You are no longer relegated to just oak, maple and cherry. Now you can clad with eco-friendly bamboo, walnut, mahogany and sapele to name just a few. Then the guys at 3M got together with the fabricators that made veneers and it was a marriage made in heaven.

So if some unforeseen disaster has caused all of your cabinets to deteriorate, now is a good time to investigate repair. As the procedure has become more popular, the cost associated with the process has dropped considerably, as has people who undergo refacing after it has also become more routine.

Modern science has made giant strides in reshaping people and kitchens. To quote the Wicked Witch of the West, as her face deteriorated, “What a world, what a world”! (Unfortunately, her face, along with the rest of her, has melted to the point that a transplant would not be recommended.) But she could have had a beautiful kitchen.

The four generations of Chevrolet Camaro

admin

The world has come to know four generations of the Chevrolet Camaro and each of these generations was distinct and unique from the rest. This vehicle was first introduced to the public in the United States and the rest of North America in early 1967. It was introduced by the Chevrolet Motor Division of General Motor. It was meant to be a competition for the Ford Mustang. It also used the same F Body platform that was from General Motors, along with other major components that the Pontiac Firebird also used. That is why many people who have come to know and remember the Chevrolet Camaro say and remember this vehicle as the brother of the Pontiac Firebird, or as a brother.

During that period, the Chevrolet Camaro was known for being a compact car. And very soon, it became known that it was a pony car. This meant that it was a competitor to the Ford Mustang. Aside from that reputation, the Chevrolet Camaro was also classified as an intermediate touring car, a sports car, and a muscle car. However, this car brand ended its career in 2002.

The first generation of this vehicle lived from 1967 to 1970. It had a unibody structure from the windshield to the rear firewall. There was a separate steel rail subframe for everything up front. It was lean and aggressive, although the steering was somewhat slow and manual. In the mid-1970s, the second generation of the Chevrolet Camaro hit the streets. This second group sported Ferrari-inspired styling. It became larger, and much heavier. However, because of this, it made the Chevrolet Camaro less powerful.

This second generation ended in 1981. From the year 1982 to 1992, it was actually the time when the third generation Chevrolet Camaros shone. These were the first vehicles to be built without front subframes or rear leaf spring suspensions. They were also the first generation Chevrolet Camaro to boast factory fuel injection, four-speed automatic transmission, five-speed manual transmissions, four-cylinder engines, 16-inch wheels, and hatchback bodies. According to the last generation of this vehicle, it lasted from 1993 to 2002. It had new plastic front fenders, new short arm and long arm front suspension, rack and pinion steering, as well as a sleek new look that made it very popular. for more people.

Developing a marketing strategy? hold a workshop

admin

I am regularly asked to help companies develop a marketing plan. Some are for a new company, others for a new product. My first question is usually “do you have a marketing strategy and is your management aligned with it?”

Otherwise, you may be setting yourself up for failure. For those who need support, I usually recommend running a strategy workshop. The goal is to collect key data points, align the goals of the management team, and determine the next steps to create a go-to-market plan. Attendees should be assorted members of your management team (ie sales, marketing, finance, operations).

Although the workshop can be held in a single day, additional research will be needed if additional information is to be gained and strategic direction confirmed. This may include conversations with internal and external resources (ie customers, partners, target customers) and analysis using available tools.

The strategy workshop will provide you with the basic framework used to develop a marketing plan. The marketing plan will then focus on implementation.

The basic elements to be solved in a workshop are detailed below:

Market segmentation

Start by identifying your customers’ needs and then determine the best way to meet them. Keep in mind that it is nearly impossible for one company to meet every unique need. Instead, it is more efficient to allocate resources to specific customer groups. Because customer needs vary, marketers must identify common needs within similar customer groups and recognize distinctive needs among different customer groups. The first part of the workshop should be for

  • Identify or align market segments based on revenue potential and market size
  • Profile your ideal customer (size, location, capabilities) and identify target accounts by name
  • Create personas to identify who has the buying power at the base of your target company
  • Set market priorities to target with limited resources

Company and product positioning

Identify what you do best, what your target market wants, and why customers buy from you. Then, develop a basic set of messages that will allow your company to quickly differentiate itself. Areas to discuss should include who you are, what you stand for and what you want to stand for, your experience, and what you offer to the market).

Separate from the company is the positioning of the product portfolio itself. Key features, benefits, product names, order details, roadmap, technical and promotional details, and other data needed to develop products and web warranties.

Market analysis

Success depends on knowing your business inside and out. To do this, you should plan to conduct a SWOT analysis for:

  • Identify methods to address weaknesses and threats, and to take advantage of strengths and opportunities
  • Identify a list of major competitors and identify their differentiating characteristics
  • Barriers to entry to this market
  • Market trends, effects on economic prospects, available financing

Set sales and marketing goals

These goals should reflect what you think your business can achieve through marketing in the years to come:

  • revenue forecasts
  • The amount of new business vs. old or repeated business
  • Estimate average transaction size and order/sales cycle
  • Outline a strategy to attract and retain customers to identify and anticipate change
  • Identify marketing objectives based on resources and ability to meet forecasts

Sales channel and partners

Much of the marketing plan and budget will depend on the channels you will be selling on. The type of sales tools, campaign size, and customer retention methods all depend on determining the right mix of marketing and sales programs. Questions to address:

  • What are the short and long term plans to recruit distribution and sales channels?
  • What pricing structure is being offered at these levels?
  • Do you have a list of potential partners and distributors to target by industry type and by name?

Some additional points

Keep in mind that marketing strategies can vary in length and style depending on your business. However, in general, you should have a few additional items in mind before starting a marketing plan:

  • What is your marketing budget (i.e. a percentage of existing or future sales?)
  • How your spend will be allocated and tracked (printed material, web development, promotion, etc.)
  • What is your timing for a soft launch (internal and select customers) and a hard launch (public promotion)?
  • How will you measure success or failure? Leads, revenue, conversions, gross sales?

So what comes next?

Review the end results of your strategy and engage with your management team to ensure agreement on the strategy. Then move on to implementing your strategy using the information you’ve gathered to develop a marketing plan.

Need help creating a strategy or plan? Consult an expert who has worked in her area of ​​expertise, who can extract information using interview techniques, and who has the network of vendors and tool providers to assemble reliable information.

Eat healthy on a budget

admin

Think eating healthy on a budget is impossible? Many people believe that lowering food costs means that healthy foods can no longer be purchased.

Some people even convince themselves that healthy weight loss isn’t possible unless they spend a lot of money.

But eating healthy on a budget and losing weight the healthy way is not only possible, but with a little planning you can cut food costs and still eat healthy foods.

Here are some tips to make eating healthy on a tight budget easier.

Plan your weekly food menus with healthy eating recipes and make a shopping list of those items before you shop. This saves you time at the store and can save you a lot of money because you’re less likely to buy on impulse.

Stock your fridge and cupboards with healthy foods, and to keep costs down, avoid extras like soda, chips, baked goods, and other high-calorie items.

Children and sometimes even spouses are often the ones ordering junk food. Remember, food choices are an important factor in determining the health of you and your family.

Buy more water or milk instead of soft drinks when you go shopping and you will save money. You can still enjoy your favorite soft drinks in a

sporting event or night out. For healthy weight loss, simply make it a diet soda.

Buy fruit in bulk when it’s in season and freeze any extra. Simply wash the fruit well, dry it completely, and then freeze it in plastic zipper bags.

While lean meat and seafood are excellent sources of protein, they can be expensive. To cut your costs, use beans as a substitute for meat on occasion.

Beans are very inexpensive and make eating healthy on a budget really simple. There are several varieties of beans and preparing them in a crock pot and making a salad makes for an easy meal.

Another great way to eat healthy on a budget is to pack your brown bag lunch. It takes a little longer, but with the right food choices, it’s healthier and less expensive.

Peanut butter is also great for those on a budget and almost everyone likes it. Use it for sandwiches along with jam instead of expensive cold cuts.

For healthy weight loss, try adding sugar-free jam because it has a lot less calories and fat than regular jam, but still tastes great.

If you eat foods that are high in water content like watermelon, salads, and even sugar-free Jell-O, they are inexpensive, great for healthy weight loss, and work great for healthy eating on a budget.

It’s easy to fall into a rut of eating the same expensive and unhealthy foods. But once you regain control by planning your weekly meal menus with healthy recipes, you’ll be able to enjoy a good variety of foods again.

Eating healthy on a budget can be as simple as making a few different choices.

Are they animal healers? The healing power of a cat’s purr

admin

animals are healers

Did you know that there is a healing power in a cat’s purr?

I have always maintained that animals are highly intelligent, sensitive, reasoning, and spiritual beings, and that they are natural healers.

They are in tune with our sense of well-being, both physical and mental. When we take the time to learn how they communicate, they have the ability to help us heal…

…and to tell us when they are in pain.

Why do cats purr?

Most people associate a cat’s purr with happiness. And that’s one of the times you’ll hear your sweet kitty purr…when he’s content and snuggled up on your lap. He makes you feel happy too, right?

However, pet owners should know that cats also purr when they feel anxious and when they are sick and in pain.

It can be tricky… and it can lead to prolonged suffering for your poor cat if you don’t pay attention to the signal it’s sending you.

Because it is true that a purr is calming… when they are not feeling well, they are trying to calm down and comfort themselves.

But this soothing purr goes beyond a comforting sound: there’s more to the science than you think.

They are not purring to calm down like we would listen to relaxing music…

…because scientists have discovered that all cats in the world purr at a specific healing frequency.

The healing frequency of a cat’s purr

Research has shown that all domestic cats, and most wild cats, purr at exactly the same frequencies. Their purrs range between 20 Hertz and 150 Hertz.

Amazingly, these frequencies correspond and adjust to the optimal conditions our bodies need to heal damaged tissue and bone.

In fact, the medical community took notice and created similar frequency-emitting devices that help heal broken bones and other types of problems.

That’s because our cells actually change shape and repair themselves faster when exposed to these frequencies.

We’ve all seen cats do acrobatic jumps, parkour around the room… it’s hard to believe they don’t hurt their joints or strain a muscle twisting a pretzel doing it.

When you understand the medical reason cats purr, it turns out that they may have harmed themselves…and their purr emits a frequency that helps heal torn muscle or sore hips.

In fact, some researchers have concluded that this is one of the reasons why veterinarians should perform fewer major surgeries on cats compared to dogs…cats have a trick up their sleeve, a healing superpower .

Because animals are healers by nature, it’s time to consider that when your cat snuggles and purrs on your legs, chest, or one of your arms, she’s trying to share her healing superpower with you.

The animals want to share their healing powers.

My late husband always loved snuggling with our only cat, TuffyTiger, a sweet-natured, big-hearted gray tabby.

It was the strangest thing… every time he lay down to rest, she was on top of him, in a specific place, stretched out on his chest, purring to the best of her ability.

She snuggled against him and eventually settled on his right side…on his liver.

This comes from years ago. He always felt refreshed after resting with Tuffy Tiger snuggled up on top of him, purring at the top of her lungs.

After 18 years together, we parted ways. Not long after, she began to experience pain in her chest and stomach area and sadly later found out that she had an inoperable “bile duct” cancer. In fact, her body was riddled with cancer.

For all those years, our cat Tuffy Tiger had been sharing her healing power with him through the power of her purr, stopping the pain, improving his health and well-being.

And when she no longer had access to her daily soothing care, the cancer grew at an alarming rate. She died a few months later.

Pay attention when a cat works on your body

I have learned to pay attention when an animal is interested in me, and especially in a specific area of ​​my body… what are they trying to communicate to me?

Many times the animals I meet tell me that their human seriously underestimates their intelligence and intuition.

Whether you’re learning how to talk to your pets, asking a pet communicator like me to have a conversation with your pet, or just trying to pay attention to the messages they’re trying to give you, there’s a lot to learn.

Animals are spiritual creatures: a window to your soul and a reflection of your state of being.

Listening and paying attention to your cat’s purr will open a door to knowledge, understanding and healing.

Jack Russell Shedding – Top 3 Answers

admin

So you have adopted your adorable Jack Russell Terrier. Everything is fine, except that it sheds a lot. You did not expect a Jack Russell hair loss problem when you adopted your dog. But now you realize that you can’t wear black, blue, or any other dark color without getting a lot of dog hair on your clothes.

And when you sit on the couch, you also wake up with dog hair. You are embarrassed when guests come because there is no place to sit. Don’t worry, I’ll share with you some Jack Russell shedding solutions so he can start wearing dark colors again and you and your guests can sit on your couch, dog hair free.

3 types of dog coats

Coat texture influences shedding. Depending on the type of Jack Russell you have adopted, they will have 1 of 3 coat types: smooth, wiry, or broken. Smooth-haired dogs shed much more than wire-haired or broken-haired dogs.

If you have a smooth-coated dog, that means the hair is a short single layer and lies close to the body. The fur sheds profusely, so when you wake up, you have hair all over your body, clothes, and furniture.

The Jack Russell Terrier Dilemma

Most dogs only need to be bathed every 2-3 months. But here’s the problem with this breed: it was born to hunt and burrow into the ground to catch its prey. He also loves to dig in the dirt. So if you have a dog that stays outside, you will need to bathe and groom him more often.

Jack Russell Moving Tip #1 Bathing

Grooming results are best when you have given your dog a bath. This breed does not need daily baths. You will dry out his skin if you bathe him too often. At the same time, you don’t want a smelly dog ​​snuggling up next to you. So if your dog is prone to staying indoors, you can bathe him every 2-3 months.

But, if your Jack Russell gets out a lot and rolls around in the dirt, he will need to be bathed once a month.

Baths help the molting process

If your goal is to remove shedding, that’s not going to happen. The smooth-coated breed is a shedder. But you can minimize it. By bathing your dog before you use grooming tools on him, you help break down grease and dirt, making it easier to groom him. Once you towel dry and start combing, any stray hairs will fall out easily.

Grooming Kit for Jack Russell Tip #2

After bathing your dog, pat him dry with a towel. I do not recommend using a blow dryer, as blow dryers are used for long-haired dogs. With smooth-coated dogs, you run the risk of burning them if the dryer heat is too high.

Now, once you have towel dried off, you need to brush your cute canine. Nor with any brush. Use a rubber brush, a bristle brush and a chamois. Here’s how to use each.

Use the rubber brush to get out your dog’s large stuff and dead hair. Do not pull or tug on your hair. Then use the bristle brush to remove the finest hairs and dirt. Chamois is used to polish your dog’s coat and give it a shiny appearance.

Jack Russell Shedding Tip #3 Daily Brush

Although this breed does not need to be brushed often, it sheds, which means it needs to be brushed daily. So use a rubber brush and a bristle brush to remove the fine stuff from your dog’s hair.

By using these grooming tips, your Jack Russell shedding problems will be solved. Dog care is only a small part of dog health care. For more dog health tips, read the dog health guide.

QuickBooks Online or QuickBooks Cloud: Make a Choice

admin

Cloud accounting solutions have become very popular among small and medium-sized businesses. Clearly, application hosting is no longer limited to the largest companies. Among all the accounting software available on the shelves, the most popular has been QuickBooks. Whether they are first-time users of the QuickBooks app or those who are new to the business, the question remains the same: which is the best option between QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Cloud Hosting?

Those who adopted the QuickBooks desktop in the ’90s are often looking for an upgrade. Depending on growing business needs, business owners may feel the need to collaborate with a larger number of people. Therefore, such a software may be needed that can meet the business needs without any hassle.

How to choose between QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks in the cloud?

Contractors have two options at hand. First, they can upgrade their existing QuickBooks Desktop app to the cloud and enjoy all the features alike. And two, they can switch to QuickBooks Online and enjoy a slightly different version than the desktop version.

The choice between the two can be easy if users are clear about which features they absolutely need and which they can afford to give up.

Let’s discuss the benefits of each to help draw a clear distinction between the two types of software:

Quick books online:

QuickBooks Online is more suitable for small and medium businesses. Operated solely online, it allows its users to manage invoices and inventories, create financial reports and periodically evaluate them, accept and make payments, etc.

Advantages of using QuickBooks Online:

  • It can be easily learned by watching some online tutorials.

  • Work can be done collaboratively by five or less than five users at the same time.

  • Small businesses can benefit the most.

  • It allows companies to customize their invoices and email formats.

  • QuickBooks Online stays in your pocket, as the dashboard can also be accessed from a smartphone.

  • Users can integrate their accounts with third-party applications to facilitate the operation.

  • It can be accessed from any device. Users do not need to install specialized software on each device to access their books online.

  • The price is made on a pay-per-use basis. Users pay a monthly fee and a surcharge for any additional features.

Cons of using QuickBooks Online:

  • To include payroll, users must pay extra. QuickBooks Online does not offer free payroll.

  • Being available only through the Internet, users cannot access their work files online if their Internet is down.

  • Project management is not possible with the online version. Users should invest in standalone project management software.

  • Although Intuit claims that it is easy to learn, for beginners it can still seem like a bumpy ride. It takes a lot of practice and time to get used to the features and become familiar with the whole process.

  • Instead of paying monthly, users had to pay upfront for the desktop version, and only once.

  • It is not easy to transport data from the desktop version to the online version.

QuickBooks Cloud:

QuickBooks in the cloud simply means accessing the desktop version of the same software on the Internet. Users can enjoy the exact features of the desktop application along with the ease of cloud computing. Cloud technology comes with a host of benefits that can benefit a business in a number of ways.

Advantages of QuickBooks Cloud:

  • The software can be accessed anytime, anywhere from any device. The feature of universal access is one of the most prominent features of cloud computing.

  • Users can customize forms and reports to their liking, which is not possible online.

  • QuickBooks Cloud makes online bill payments easy, saving you time.

  • Purchase orders can also be created in the cloud version of QuickBooks.

  • It is easier for users to switch from the desktop version to the cloud than to transport data from the online version to the cloud.

  • Multi-user collaboration is much easier in the cloud. Up to 30 users can work simultaneously on the same sheet, compared to the online version where only 5 users can collaborate at most.

  • Users can also enjoy the tracking and reporting features available on the desktop version. This is not possible in QuickBooks Online.

  • Users can try QuickBooks Cloud for free for one month before making a decision. Therefore, no initial payment is required.

Cons of QuickBooks Cloud:

  • Companies that have more than 30 users may need to look at other platforms.

  • It takes time for new users to understand the basics of cloud hosting. In the early days, users may need to invest time and patience to learn how the cloud works.

  • Companies may need to train their staff when moving to the cloud. Everything changes when a company moves from desktop software to hosted in the cloud.

  • When a business moves to the cloud, its data is no longer under the direct control of the owner. This can pose a concern for homeowners. It is important for owners to choose their cloud hosting providers carefully to ensure complete security of their business critical information.

The bottom line:
