The Entrepreneur's diet

Since you are a fast-paced individual and raking in the cash, why not make sure that you are healthy as well, rather than gorging yourself on fast food? Entrepreneurs have very little time to prepare a meal for the most part, so they tend to eat a lot of crap they probably shouldn't so they don't apass out. For those people the diet features a "Quick Fix" alternative for every meal when you just have to get into your equestrian clothing head out for a ride.

World Traveling Business Owners

What is better than working for yourself? Working for yourself while you travel the world. With the ability for entrepreneurs to work from virtually anywhere in this online world, more and more are packing the computer and working while they travel the globe. Anything more exciting than that?

This is actually my goal as well once I get everything rolling the way I want it. Throw my laptop in a bag with my clothes, and bedding sets and hit the road. I can do almost every aspect of my online work from anywhere so why not do it while I kick it in every sports stadium in the world?

What are world travelling entrepreneurs doing? Take a look at a couple stories of small business travellers. Way to enjoy life is it not?

Employees Want Greener Employers

You must hear one of the most popular buzz words around right now constantly. "Green". Whether you believe that global warming is an elaborate hoax, or is a true issue, you aren't likely to get away from hearing about all the Green Projects, and celebrity endorsements of a Greener Way of Life. You can probably attribute a lot of this to Al Gore's low vision aids from his Nobel Prize winning documentary (if you really want to call it that) "An Inconvenient Truth".

Not just in the news, but the average employee is chiming in on the need for a Greener World.

Nearly 60 percent of 2,281 workers surveyed by Adecco USA, a Melville, N.Y.-based human resources firm, said they felt their employers should be taking more steps to reduce or recycle waist. Among all respondents, women and younger employees were the biggest supporters of workplace green practices.

Many employees also felt businesses tended to exaggerate their environmental policies, adding that green practices play a role in their choice of employer. Still, only 31 percent said they would take a pay cut for the sake of the environment.


Of course you have to take these leading surveys with a grain of salt. Who exactly is going to say no to questions like: "Do you think your employer should do more to recycle?" ? Seriously. Who would? Not many. So realistically you can say these surveys are rather insignificant, unless that is you are one of the peopel that don't think about polls that way. Many people do not, and the headline says it all.
