I have a home decor business I want to start but I don’t know how.
Everything is hand made by myself and I don’t have any help just yet. I’m afraid I’ll run out of products before I have a chance to really get started. I’ve thought of eBay but it seems so cheesy but a web site is definitely considered. Any Ideas has anyone done this before??

that can garantee no loss in your starting investment and will most likely give you a higher interest rate than a regular cd account. From the answers I got they all said there was no such thing. But I came across this article when going threw some investing sites.

"Stock Market CDs pay interest based upon the gain in a related stock market index. These unique CDs permit investors to capture the upside possibilities of the market index but avoid the down-side risk. In other words, you can "play the market" but not worry about losing your starting investment because the deposit is FDIC insured and you are guaranteed to get back your original investment. Early withdrawals may be permitted and these CDs can be sold or can be redeemed fully upon the death of an owner or co-owner. CDs sold prior to maturity or withdrawn early are subject to market conditions and could result in a loss."

So what do you guys think about that?

Walmart always seems to be the "evil" company. I happen to think that it is a great company. I don't think that people realize how much it helps the surrounding communities. I was just wondering what other people thought.

without a raise, they keep giving excuses, they've changed company hands, and are a in-home healthcare company for elderly/disabled patients - mainly low-income, and when a new governor got elected, he cut lots of low-income healthcare programs. however, recently the governor did reviews and saw in-home healthcare compared to nusring homes, benefits the elderly more and is cheaper in the long run, and signed a $400 million fund. My employee handbook states that when a yearly evaluation is done, a raise is determined by performance and what the "avg rate" is ...but i still didn't get my raise and don't know what to do. i'm going to school and looking to go into social work later on, and this is the longest i've worked at one company ever, i'm 25 yrs. old, what's your advice?

I work at a small organization and we do NOT have a lot of money for staff awards, bonuses, etc. I have tried implementing incentive awards for low sick leave and innovation before which have blown up in my face as people considered them unfair-not everyone could attain them due to sick children at home, budget constraints, etc. We do get small service recognition awards, and a christmas party etc. I want to implement a monthly recognition award for staff based on something good that has happened (like designing a new exhibit) but am not sure how to develop the guidelines for a program that will work and be fair to everyone, and also easy to quantify. We will give our own awards, so I do NOT want a company to offer me their awards programs with watches and pins and junk like that. We have tried a system where the employees nominate a staff member for an award each month and that has also not worked. If anyone has had success in a similar situation I would love to hear from you.

That companies,some we are with now, send you a great deal in the mail. So,you call the 1-800 number and go through the bull only to find out you cannot have the offer for some off the wall reason? It does not make sense to me that they would want to piss me off. Does this happen to you and are you more impressed with them openly showing off their stupidity?
