In order to get business I must send out the resturaunts menu's. Its expensive to have them sent through regular mail. Alot of resturaunts here have people put up the menus on peoples doors.I hired some people to do that, and today i had someone call and say that "I DONT WANT THESE MENU TO BE PUT ON MY DOOR, IF I SEE IT AGAIN I WILL CALL THE POLICE AND HAVE YOU ARRESTED". Now my question is that is it ILLIGAL?? to put up flyers on peoples homes? AM i breaking the law? And if some people dont want them then iI wont put it on their doors.. but can they have u arrested just for putting up flyers???

Ok, right now I have a job that pays pretty good considering I have no bills. The thing is I will be going off to college (for the 3rd time, don't ask) and I won't have time for a job. So in the next eight months I need to come up with a steady flow of income. Not asking for much, $150 to $200 will be enough. I have about $5,000 for start up and eight months to build it. I have web design capabilities (not enough to build others websites so that is not a possibility), but enough to start my own if it is ecommerce. I enjoy sports and video games but will build anything that can earn some money while in school. Any ideas?

We have 69 rooms total:

10 penthouses and 59 suites.

Suite cleaning includes cleaning of the living room, kitchen, bedroom and restroom.
Penthouses are twice as large.

They must also clean office, breakfast area and hallways.

We were wondering how many housekeepers we would need to have to clean all rooms as quickly as possible and of course be able to give them a couple of days off and not have them working every single day.

Thank you!!

What is the difference between a plan of action and a comprehensive plan. Please be as detailed as possible.

(I have a vague understanding, but it is not clear to me)

From what I understand, a comprehensive plan is a plan to develop a program or create an innovation to an existing program. A plan of action, is a plan to make necessary improvements to an existing program. (Am I correct?)

The problem is that when I looked online, some comphrensive plans looked like action plans and vis-a-versa. Please provide insight!

My candles will be rustic/primitive/country themed...I'm looking for a name that sounds relaxing and comforting...maybe a "kitcheny" name because my main scents will be bakery-types or spicy aromas. I want something original but not too long...thanks for your ideas! If I use your idea, I promise you'll get some free candles!

I have a friend who lost her job with a Dell call center in Oregon & she is trying to find government or private people that provide funding to start a small business. She tried the Small Business Association, but they require adequate equity investment, evidence of ability to repay the loan from earrnings & reasonable amount of collateral. Also, they do NOT provide grants.
She has researched the business she wants to start, but she cannot meet the requirements of the SBA & she would prefer grant money. Like she told them, over half of ALL new businesses fail within the 1st 5 years due to lack of operating capital & they want me to pay THEM back instead of being able to put the money back into the business to see that it succeeds. ANY IDEAS from you folks????
Do you know of anyone who has gotten a business grant & from whom it came????
THANK YOU!!!!

I keep hearing that data entry is the new big career to do from home, but I have a friend trying to find legitimate data entry work and she has yet to find anything legit...she just paid money to someone who advertised a job, but it ended up being a "you can do this to, just post and add and let people pay you to train them to do this..."
Thank goodness it was only $7, but she's upset about getting scammed.

She really wants legit work, but doesn't know where to look...obviously she won't be paying anyone to train her anymore, but where can she look for something that is not a scam...she found this "job" off of Craigslist....
