Beyond ERP with Expenzing

ERP (enterprise resource planning) it has been the cornerstone of various small, medium and large companies for many years. ERP acts as the aggregate ledger platform of choice for businesses, but some may agree that its flexibility is questionable.

Top 3 challenges with ERP:

  • High-value purchases and expenses related to IT, marketing, HR services, legal fees, utilities, and regular expenses like annual maintenance contracts are done outside of the ERP system. There is limited or no control over spending at the branch or department level. The Delegation of Authorization and Corporate Policies are questioned, exposing the company to risk.
  • ERPs are not feasibly built for every employee in the organization to log in to request, approve, or obtain information. They are designed to record post-facto transactions and process them for P&L. The cost for just each licensed user would be too high.
  • Purchases made outside of the ERP account for a significant percentage of SG&A and the time spent managing purchases and payments is enormous due to the number of transactions. Manual data entries are required to integrate with the ERP. These expenses are managed with their own system, spreadsheets, email or, even worse, paper receipts. The accounting and finance operation remains tactical at best.

Tips for Buying the Best Kitchen and Bathroom Cabinets

Are you thinking of reforming your house? If yes, then you should pay special attention to the kitchen and bathroom. Generally, people put all their money in the living room and bedroom, which is not right. It is very important to renovate the bathroom and kitchen perfectly, so that each and every part of the house looks equally beautiful. We are living in the world where everything is ready.

People don’t have time to waste building products. They want ready-to-assemble products that they can buy at the local store or online and install immediately. When renovating kitchen and bathroom, RTA cabinets are the most popular products among people. It’s easier for sellers to ship RTA cabinets. Even customers like RTA cabinets because they don’t have to call any carpenters to install the cabinets.

Customers will also receive a user manual along with the actual product that contains all the information on how to install the cabinet perfectly. This means that you can save money by hiring a professional to install cabinets. The shipping cost will also be lower due to the lower weight of the product. It is important to compare the prices of RTA cabinets before buying. There are so many companies available in the market today, so you cannot stick to just one company. It is vital to get quotes from at least five companies, so that you can choose the company with the lowest quote. If you are spending money on the renovation process, you should pay attention to the quality of the products.

You can get custom RTA cabinets in case you have any specific requirements. The dimension of the cabinets must perfectly match the style of the door, the materials of construction and the box. In addition, you should also match the drawer slide and hinge mechanisms. After choosing the right cabinets, it is important to consider the price of the cabinets. You need to have a specific budget for the entire renovation process, so you need to find ways to keep the cost within budget. There is not much difference in the price of kitchen and bathroom furniture.

When you buy custom white cabinets from an online store, you won’t have to pay shipping costs per item. You can pay the full cost at one time, which would be much less. By ordering more products at once, you can significantly reduce the cost of shipping. The RTA industry is very competitive, so the price continues to fluctuate. So if you plan to buy kitchen and bathroom cabinets, buy them now, or the price will go up next week. The choice of a distributor is perhaps the most important point when buying kitchen and bathroom furniture. The dealer you have chosen should have a good customer base.

Also, you must have a wide variety of products because each customer has their own unique specifications and needs, so a distributor must have a wide range of products to satisfy all of them. Cabinets are available in two styles: slab and shaker. The slab style is simple, smooth and elegant. On the other hand, the shaker style has more texture. You can choose according to your tastes and needs. It is necessary to do a little research before buying kitchen and bathroom furniture. You can save valuable time if you know exactly what you are looking for. You can ask your friends and family in case they know of any place to find the best kitchen and bathroom cabinets.

Honda will use fuel cell technology in an electric vehicle

Honda Motor Company has been developing its hydrogen-powered car, the Honda FCX Clarity, for several years. So far, the car has only been released under a limited lease program, and the company currently doesn’t have an estimate for when they’ll start mass-producing the hydrogen-powered car. However, this doesn’t mean the company can’t start using the technology it has developed for the car in other cars right away.

Honda has announced that the new Fit electric vehicle will use the engine and transmission first developed for the FCX Clarity Sedan model. The Fit electric car is expected to launch in 2012, and testing is planned to take place in California, on the Google campus, and at the prestigious Stanford University. It’s great to see Honda being able to use some of the technology it developed for hydrogen-powered cars in other all-electric vehicles. Part of the reason for the delay in the mass production of hydrogen-powered cars has to do with the high cost of some of the parts, such as the hydrogen fuel cell.

The launch of the Fit electric vehicle is an important step for Honda Motor Company as it continues to compete with other automakers in the fuel-efficient vehicle segment. The Fit has already been very popular in the United States with customers looking for very small vehicles that use less fuel. It will be exciting to see what the final product will look like and how it will compare to other cars already on the market today.

facing your fears

What prevents you from doing what you want and having what you want? With rare exceptions, when you get rid of all excuses, it’s fear-fear to do whatever it is you have to do to achieve your goals.

Fear is one of our most basic instincts and is key to our survival. It’s easy to dismiss fear as cowardice, but it’s not. Rather, cowardice is just one of many possible responses to fear; courage is another. Fear in and of itself is not necessarily bad. In fact, it serves a purpose by protecting life and helping us avoid danger.

Fear can make our hearts pound and our adrenaline flow. You probably know people who like to be afraid because they like what it does to their bodies: they are thrill seekers who pursue dangerous pursuits and who use their fears to achieve incredible things. Whether you like roller coasters, skydiving and mountaineering or not, you don’t have to. to enjoy afraid to make it work for you.

The key is to understand your fears and put them into perspective so that you can deal with them appropriately. When you feel afraid, before you respond, stop and find out: Is there a real danger there? If so, what exactly is the danger and what should you do to protect yourself? And if there is no real danger, what is driving the sentiment?

What are you afraid of?

What scares you? Flying? Jump from a plane? Maybe you are afraid of water. Or creatures: dogs, cats, spiders or snakes. You may be afraid of crowds or public speaking, or even of change. And it may be that you are afraid of everything that involves risk.

The reality is that life is risky. Anything worth owning will likely involve some sort of risk, whether it be physical, financial, or emotional. And it is natural that those risks generate fear. What separates the achievers from the non-achievers is that achievers know how to control and use the natural emotion of fear to their advantage.

Uncontrolled fear robs you of your self-confidence and your ability to be effective. Fear that is under control and managed can be extremely productive because it can prompt you to carefully examine risks and take steps to control and minimize them.

responding to fear

There are three basic ways to respond to fear:

1. Ignore him.

2. Avoid it.

3. Face it.

Simply ignoring the fear, for example, thinking “I’m afraid to do this, but I’m going to go through with it,” is the least effective way to respond to feelings of fear. You can’t completely ignore your fear because if you don’t face it, it will always be on your mind, causing you stress and blocking your ability to perform your best.

Denying the fear, insisting that you are not really afraid, that you just “don’t want to do” it, is a way of ignoring it. If you know that taking a particular action could produce the results you want but refuse to do so, do a careful self-examination to determine if you are really denying a fear.

Avoiding fear is only slightly better than ignoring it. At least when you avoid fear, you have recognized it and are trying to push it aside and avoid it. But that’s just a temporary fix for a long-term problem.

What works best in both the short and long term is to confront your fears and overcome them. Acknowledge what you fear, take advantage of it, face it, and work to achieve the desired result. In the process, you destroy fear.

Confronting your fear allows you to shed light on it, and when you do, you’ll often see that the fear isn’t real. Think back to when you were a kid and you thought monsters were lurking under your bed or in your closet. Your parents would come in, turn on the light, and you could see that there were no monsters. Illuminating adult fears isn’t always that simple, but it’s just as effective. For example, let’s say you’d like to make an investment, but fear holds you back. Shine a light on that. What are you really afraid of? What is the worst that can happen? Now, what can you do to reduce the risk? And if you do that, is your fear still valid?

Remember that on the other side of every fear is freedom, achievement and peace.

The most common fears

We like to believe that we are special and unique, but when it comes to fear, we are rarely alone in a class. The fears that tend to prevent most of us from reaching our goals include the fear of failure and its companion fear of success; fear of ridicule; fear of discomfort; and even fear of being the center of attention. Let’s look at each of them.

The fear of failure is completely understandable. Nobody likes to fail. We don’t want to let ourselves or others down. But just because you make a mistake or don’t succeed right away doesn’t mean you’ve failed. The main way we solve life’s problems is through trial and error. When you make a mistake, you have not failed, you have simply learned a strategy that did not work. None of the great inventions we take for granted today were successful on the first try. Even the best athletes don’t always score. Put your fear of failure in this context: some of the things you try won’t work, but all that means is that those particular things you did didn’t work. As long as you try again, you did not fail and you are not a failure.

Let’s look at the opposite side of the fear of failure and consider the fear of success. The fear of success can be almost as paralyzing as the fear of failure, and often follows when you have conquered the fear of failure. Some people let the fear of success sabotage their efforts because they are afraid of what might happen when they succeed. Success can be both intoxicating and terrifying. Conquer your fear of success with a plan to manage your success.

Another common fear is that of ridicule. We don’t want to be made fun of. You can’t control what other people think and say, but you can control how you react to it. Of course, ignoring ridicule is much easier said than done, especially when the ridicule comes from someone we care about. It helps to try to understand what drives the ridicule: Most people who ridicule others try to mask their own weaknesses and fears. Consider dispelling ridicule with a semi-agreement: “Sure, I might be crazy to try, but at least I’m trying, and you never know, I might succeed.” And when you do, you won’t have to say a word.

The fear of discomfort can be quite powerful. Most of us like to stay in our comfort zone with familiar people and things. It’s certainly easier to do what’s comfortable, like watching TV instead of going to the gym or staying in a dead-end job rather than doing whatever it takes to get out of it. But doing what’s comfortable today will likely result in something worse than discomfort tomorrow. Staying comfortable means staying in the routine and not striving for something better.

It’s also understandable to fear being the center of attention. Every day we see the most intimate details of the lives of politicians and celebrities exposed to the scrutiny of strangers, and while scandals and gossip may intrigue us, we don’t want to be under that microscope ourselves. Fortunately, most of us don’t have to seriously worry about it. But you may be afraid of being the center of attention, even in a small way, like having to present in front of a group or even being recognized for an achievement. With practice and preparation, you can overcome your fear of being the center of attention.

Use the incredibly powerful visualization tool. If you focus on your fear and visualize the worst happening, it will certainly happen. Instead, visualize your success and the results you want, then see yourself taking the steps that will make that happen. When the time comes to do whatever is scaring you, you’ll be relaxed and confident because you’ve done it before in your mind and you know it’s going to work.

It is also important to recognize that fear is contagious. You can catch other people’s fears. Sometimes these people are afraid because they really want to protect you; other times, they express fear that they expect you to stop it because they fear you will succeed in revealing your own shortcomings. In any case, you need to give yourself a mental vaccination to protect yourself from other people’s fears.

Unfortunately, for most of us, conquering fear is not something we can do once and then never have to face again. Fear is a normal emotion that you will experience over and over again. The key is not to let your fears scare you into inaction, but to use them to prepare yourself to achieve your goals.

Relationship

My husband’s infidelity has contaminated everything about my marriage, including my memories.

Sometimes I hear from wives who feel that everything about their marriage is now tainted due to their husband’s infidelity. In fact, some even begin to question her husband’s love and feelings for them. Eventually, she may begin to feel as if her shared history may be distorted or as if all the happy memories are in her mind.

I heard from a wife who said, “My husband’s infidelity has ruined absolutely everything. I don’t trust him. I can’t even bear to look at him. But you know what the worst part is? He not only destroyed our present and our future, but I feel as if he had destroyed our past too. These days, when I look back on the early years of our marriage or when we were dating, I feel cheated of what should have been. “I don’t even look back on happy memories without having a feeling horrible in the pit of the stomach. He used to look back on our early relationship with longing and nostalgia. Now, I wonder if he was looking at other women even back then or if he was lying to me in the past but I just didn’t want to see it. I am so angry about this. Because if my husband and I had gotten divorced for some other reason or if he was going to leave my life in another way, he could at least look back and think that we had some happy memories. Now, I feel like we don’t even have that anymore. Does it ever get better?”

I think it will improve. In fact, it is my own experience that improves a lot. And I know how this feels. I felt the same way. I would even look back on my honeymoon and wonder what I might have missed. I would think back to our early marriage when we were struggling but happily happy and wonder if I was the only one who felt this happiness or if I only saw what I wanted to see.

However, as time has passed and I have healed, I can now look back at my memories fondly. Yes, my husband and I reconciled and this may have something to do with my best memories. But, I hear from wives who eventually ended the marriage but eventually come to see their memories as positive feelings instead of negative ones. How is this possible? Are we all crazy or do we have an enormous capacity for forgiveness or forgetting? I don’t think that’s the case either. I will explain below.

When the pain is fresher, your memories will be more distorted: Please believe me when I say that I don’t want to be condescending or pushy. With my background, this is the last thing I want. But I know from experience that your memories will be the most negatively affected when your pain is most intense and most fresh. In the first few days after your adventure, you’re just not thinking straight (and that’s understandable). Your emotions are all over the place and you tend to see things at their worst. This is absolutely normal. But it is also about the worst that can and does. From there, little by little things are improving because they have the necessary time and distance to do it.

We tend to remember things as more romantic when we are happy and we remember them as more disastrous when we are not: Do you know I told you that I used to fondly remember the early years of my marriage when we were poor but happily in love? Well, if I’m honest, at the time we were having financial problems, I didn’t think borrowing money from my parents was that cool or that romantic. But, as time went on, I tended to blur the lines on how I really felt. And, when I no longer felt the frustration of not having enough money, I actually looked back longingly because other good things were happening in my life, like getting married and starting a family.

What happens is that we tend to forget how bad things were (and also how good they were) over time. The lines get blurry and the feelings dull. And, when you’re in pain, this can be a good thing. Now that a few years have passed since the affair, I can go back to that time and not feel like I’m going to throw up. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t remember it as a moment that I enjoyed or even tolerated. But, the truth is that all marriages have their fair share of burdens. I also don’t remember having to borrow that money from my parents as such a horrible thing. Similarly, I remember the time when my son was sick and of course I shudder because it was a bad time for us. But now that I know we’re over it, it doesn’t hurt as much as it used to. The same goes for infidelity. Once you get over it (and you get over it whether your marriage survives or not because you eventually move on), then it no longer has the same control over you or your memories.

Eventually, her authentic memories come back into focus as the healing takes place: As I mentioned, once you start to heal, this distortion doesn’t have as much control over you anymore. I can’t and won’t tell you that I remember the infidelity as a benign period of my marriage. It was horrible. I don’t want to repeat it again. But today, I can look back and no longer feel the full weight of emotions. And today, when I look back on our early years, my memories are genuine. The good times are still the good times. And the bad times are put into perspective, even the matter.

High Intensity Training (HIT) – How effective is it?

If you want to reshape your body, weight training is a must. But it takes more than lifting light weights if you really want to make a significant change. It requires high-intensity training, or HIT as it’s often called, and it’s effective. The technique has been widely promoted and publicized by many people over the past two decades, including “Mr. America” ​​winner Mike Mentzer, Bill Phillips (author of “Body for Life”), Art Jones (builder of the Nautilus kit) and Ellington Darden who (some say) wrote the “Bible” at HIT.

HIT is based on intensity (extreme intensity) and it definitely brings results. The magic of HIT according to Phillips is the “highlight”. Mentzer calls it the “breaking point.” Regardless of what you call it, it’s the point in the set (usually the last rep) where muscle growth is stimulated. Under it, nothing happens, so it is, in fact, a “magic point”. The idea is to continue your reps to the point where you can no longer lift the weight, or even move it an inch. failure,” and it’s also the magic point you’re looking for. Only when you completely exhaust your muscles do they grow. It’s that incredible all-or-nothing effort that does it. Mentzer gives a metaphor that I think is quite apt. He says, “Exercise and muscle growth are like a stick of dynamite and a hammer. Hit the dynamite lightly and nothing happens (even if you hit it ten times), but hit it hard enough and… boom! The same situation occurs with muscle growth and weight training. “Easy” weight lifting won’t help much, but hit the “high point” and… boom! The muscles appear suddenly. Phillips describes the situation as: “The stimulus to trigger muscle growth happens fast or doesn’t happen at all.”

How hard do you have to train to stimulate this growth? According to Phillips, you have to train with “heart and soul.” According to Art Jones, you have to train so hard that you “throw up.” (That’s a bit much for me, but I think he gets the message across.) Not only do you have to work hard, but you have to go beyond that. It may surprise you, but when you think you’re completely exhausted, you usually aren’t. You can usually squeeze in one more rep. Basically, this is what you want: push your reps to the limit, and then do one more.

You are no doubt wondering, with a program like this, how long it takes to see results. With high intensity training (and I’m assuming it really is HIT) they’ll come fast, in just a few weeks. What you will see first is an increase in strength. Where you could only do three pull-ups last week, now you can do eight, and so on. In short, first comes an increase in strength, then an increase in muscle size.

Let me end by saying that the key is quality, not quantity. Intensive weight training will give you much more than easy, long duration workouts. In fact, you may not make any gains at all with light, long-duration weights. But of course any exercise is better than none.

Wrinkles on the upper lip: how to deal with these unwanted ugly lines?

Most people aren’t as concerned about wrinkles on the upper lip as they are on the forehead, neck, or near the eyes. Although wrinkles above the lip are less obvious, they suggest aging of the skin.

How do wrinkles appear above the lip? Just like on the face, these wrinkles appear as we age. As we age, our skin thins and loses moisture and elasticity. But there are also external factors that speed up the process, such as unprotected skin care, especially when we’re outdoors, unhealthy food choices, lack of sleep, and smoking. For wrinkles above the lip, smoking plays an important role. But why?

It is very easy to understand. Think about what happens when a person smokes. His lips pursed and the muscles around his lips contracted. Gradually, the muscles of the lips weaken and, along with advancing age, the lines appear.

But smoking causes more harm than upper lip wrinkling. It also accelerates the formation of wrinkles in other parts of the face. This is because the nicotine and chemicals in cigarettes deprive the skin of moisture and nutrients, leaving it vulnerable to wear and tear with minimal skin repair by the body.

Here are some tips to treat upper lip wrinkles:

Give up smoking: The most practical way is to stop the activity that causes more harm than good. If you like the feeling of something dangling from your lip, choose something healthy like a carrot stick.

Drink straight from the cup: Avoid drinking through a straw as the lips pucker up just like when smoking. In addition, it is also more respectful with the environment since you eliminate the use of straw.

Apply lip balm with SPF: 30 minutes before leaving the house, protect your lips with lip balm. Choose a lip balm with SPF 30 or higher. Moisturizes and protects the lips to delay the formation of wrinkles on the upper and lower lip as well.

Make upper lip curl: A common exercise to prevent upper lip wrinkles is an exercise called the “Fish Pout.” Curl your upper lip and hold it in position with your index finger. Move your finger to the left and then to the right corner of the mouth. Do it 10 times a day to strengthen the upper lip muscles.

Eat foods rich in antioxidants: They prevent cell damage and wrinkle formation. Some of the foods to consider are green tea, lemon, spinach, broccoli, and cauliflower.

Lighten lines with lip fixer: By filling in lines with lip balms, it makes wrinkles less noticeable by minimizing makeup and lipstick seepage. This will make the wrinkles above the lip less noticeable.

Proper lip care regimen: Lip care for wrinkle prevention is easier than you think, although it is often neglected. First, keep your lips clean. Remove food residue after meals and apply moisturizer to keep it hydrated. Drink plenty of water and spend a few minutes massaging it daily.

Also apply tretinoin cream or serum containing glycolic acid to the upper lip. Tretinoin with glycolic acid speeds up skin cell turnover to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. However, it is only available through a dermatologist.

That is all. 7 prevention tips for wrinkles on the upper lip and also on the lower lip.

Investment Property in Orlando: Will Buying Property in the US Help You Get a US Residency Visa?

The question of whether buying property in the US helps to obtain US residency is somewhat confusing, as both a yes and a no answer can paradoxically apply.
With many Brits looking for such ‘sought after’ status, this is what I have found from my experience with British buyers.

The investor E visa application is the most popular residency route among immigrants for a new or established business enterprise in the US. It provides a relatively easy path.
However, careful research and planning will be necessary to avoid an expensive and disappointing outcome.

With many Brits buying holiday homes in Florida for rental and investment reasons, many are asking if buying their property can help them gain resident status in the US.

Anyone hoping for a visa based on the purchase of a single home in the US will be sorely disappointed as they will never be able to justify a business investment reason.

However, a carefully presented visa application involving the purchase of 3 or more homes along with the submission of a complete and detailed business plan could be successful.

If a visa application is poorly filed or shows that the property is a “passive investment”, it will usually be rejected. Anyone considering an application is encouraged to use an experienced professional with a proven track record in preparing such a business plan.

Buying a property on its own will always be considered a passive investment; however, if the application clearly demonstrates an “active real estate business,” an E2 visa may be issued.

It is also imperative to show that a “substantial financial investment” was made prior to applying and while no actual sum is listed anywhere, it really should not be less than $100,000.
Real estate loans are allowed, although in the event that a sufficient projected business profit margin is necessary, as expense and risk increase, so does the scrutiny of the issuing immigration authority.

Of equal importance is the need to clearly show that the business will be viable and will be able to support the owner’s future living expenses, etc.

The supporting business plan must clearly demonstrate a defensible reason why it will create future employment, plus as a guide, projected generated earnings of at least $50,000 per year would generally be expected.
Clarifying the property, as an important role in the business plan, is essential, as would be the case with proposals such as a guest house, hotel, or property rental company.

Vacation rental homes can be treated similarly to a hotel purchase in that purchased property serves a similar function, however homes should never be purchased for personal use!

Real estate assets purchased specifically for a rental business, of course, require regular maintenance and rental reservations require the appropriate staffing necessary for business needs, it’s no wonder property management is a popular form of property proposition. investment.

In Central Florida, especially in the Disney catchment areas, there is still a steady demand for “good quality, well run” property management companies, even though several vacation rental companies already operate in the area.

The ever-increasing demand for good quality management is due to many startups adding to their home portfolios, apparently lowering the business operating standards of some businesses.

This issue was the underlying reason for my company’s decision NOT to engage in property management, despite the obvious financial temptation.

In 1985, there were very few vacation property management operations near Disney, as hotels were generally the primary form of rental accommodation.
Over the ensuing years, we arranged thousands of property sales to British buyers, all of whom bought for personal holiday use and potential rental income while away.

Given the importance our buyers place on property management, we decided that we should do everything possible to provide the best possible service.
As such, it would be best for us to remain fully independent and, unlike many of our real estate competitors, we resist financial temptation.

As a result, we continue to track and monitor the performance of some 700 property management firms in Central Florida, and the valuable information we obtain often helps our buyer clients.

There are believed to be over 50,000 British-owned homes in Florida, and of course many more are owned by other non-residents.

The constant demand for quality small and medium property management companies is naturally creating attractive investment opportunities for budding entrepreneurs looking for a new way of life.
Those interested in trying to keep their investment risk to a minimum and are nervous about investing cash in a new business venture may have a hard time finding a better alternative than a property-based management business.

Orlando investment properties purchased in the “sunny state of Florida” should continue to rise in value because property prices here remain much lower than many comparable states, such as California, where prices are almost 3 times as high! tall!
