How To Thrive In The Current Recession!

The King Is Dead Long Live The King!!

Yes, the King is dead.

We all know who the King was, the King in Ireland, and pretty much the whole western world for the last twenty or maybe fifty years has been property plain and simple.

For as long as I can remember the rationale was, if you're in property you're doing well, and if you've been in property long you're doing very well.Like many of you I've been there, enjoyed it and didn't get out.

So, why am I writing this article then?

Simply, because I realised that I needed another string to my bow.You see the King is dead, but what happens when a King dies is that he is very rapidly replaced by someone else who assumes all his powers, and becomes known in turn as the King.

And Man is the New King powerful.

The thing about the Old King, that being the property game was that too much of the wealth was held in property assets, known as your equity.You know, you had a property that was worth 200,000 euros with a mortgage of 100,000 euros, so theory was you had 100,000 of equity.

And the only way to turn that into cash was to sell it, and who in their right mind wanted to do that?Pay taxes, lose control of an appreciating asset, lose the future potential of that piece of property (who knew where the next shopping centre or dual carriageway
was going to go) etc, etc

The flipside was that there was no money in the day to day running of that same business unless you sold it, because due to superinflated property prices (unless you bought 20+ years ago), the rents and yields relative to debt (after expenses), required to purchase by and large were terrible.

So all too frequently, paper property millionaires were broke.

Hindsight is both a wonderful and a truly useless habit that we indulge in, but it can benefit us if we choose to learn the lessons.

For me one of the most obvious lessons from the property implosion has been that Cash is King, and that if you don't have a business with strong cashflows, (forget about equity) you don't really have a business, more of an obligation.

Enter the New King.The funny thing is the New King has been on the scene for a while.

The good news is that for those who showed the initiative to set up their own property business, who researched and viewed properties, read on their subject, attended courses, advertised their properties, negotiated with tenants, estate agents, vendors, tradesmen and women, managed cashflow and a whole host of other responsibilities is that the experience will stand to you for the rest of your life, and that these skills are transferable to whatever else you choose to take on.

The seeds of entrepreneurialism have been sown, and although the property tide has went out, you can and will be able to apply these skills to the new opportunities that are on the horizon.

To summarise, may I suggest that what you should be looking for now is a cash business that doesn't require significant debt and represents the potential for significant expansion.Some of you will know where I'm going with this.

The key is low overheads and a bigger market.If you're selling luxury Rolex watches, and you're in a town that's in the midst of a localised economic downturn, then the obvious answer would be to get out of that town, and go somewhere that isn't experiencing an economic depression.

Well, what if we said "You know what, you don't even have to move.But, what you do need to do is learn a new skill", and herein lies the key to ending the economic recession here in Ireland.

By learning how to take your business to the largest marketplace in the world, and figuring out how to sell your wares there, you can virtually recession proof your business, and rapidly accelerate your profits.And that's it, the New King is the vast economic potential of the Internet, the World Wide Web.

And believe it or not, this technology is in its absolute infancy.Think car phones that look like breeze blocks, and you're still not even close.

Cooking Step in Constructing a Solar Funnel Cooker

Solar funnel cookers are the least expensive and easiest solar cooker to construct.Solar funnel cookers are portable, making them ideal for campers, including RV owners and backpackers.For more detail go to: www.delicious-sandwich-recipes.com.Even kids can help with the construction of solar funnel cookers.It is the ideal do-it-yourself solar project, melding both cost-efficiency and environmentally friendly energy use.

The first step in constructing a solar funnel cooker is to cut a half circle along the bottom of the cardboard sheet.This circle should have a radius that is equal to half the diameter of the container used for cooking.If a standard mason jar is used, the half circle's radius would be approximately five inches.

The half circle that was cut into the bottom of the cardboard sheet will be used to make the funnel.For more detail go to: www.july4-recipes.com.Slowly bend the two sides of the cardboard together around the half circle.A funnel shape should form.Allow the cardboard to crease as this will give guidelines for the funnel once the aluminum foil is attached.

Next, lay the cardboard sheet back down onto the floor or work surface.Using the spray adhesive or white glue (mixed with equal parts water), adhere the aluminum foil to what will be the inside of the funnel.Be sure the foil is shiny side up and no bubbles or breaks occur.

Once the aluminum foil has adhered to the cardboard, bring the funnel together again.Use the metal brads to attach the two sides together.Space the brads evenly down the edge where the two sides meet and lock into place.Glue a section of aluminum foil over the brads on the back of the cooker, shiny side down, to ensure heat retention.The funnel of the cooker is now assembled.

Spray with black paint a square of wood approximately two inches wide by four inches long and two inches deep.Place this block in the bottom of an oven bag.Set the Mason jar (with the food or water contents inside) on top of the wood, inside the bag.Blow air into the bag to inflate it.Tie the bag off at the top.This creates a greenhouse effect inside the bag.

Lastly, place the bag inside the funnel of the solar cooker.Be sure the apparatus is facing the sun.The solar funnel cooker can be placed in a cardboard box or a hole dug into the ground for stability.

Solar cooked foods will not burn, as the heat is slow and moderate.The best cooking times are when the sun is highest in the sky and the cooker is left in direct light.Cooking times for items vary and some will require water to be added.

Most vegetables can be cooked in an hour and a half, as will roast nuts.Neither of those items requires water to be added.For grains, use a mix of two parts water for every one part grain; this should be ready to serve within two hours.Meats, chicken and fish vary on cooking times due to their size and density.Generally, fish takes one to one and a half hours, while chicken and meat will cook between one and a half and three hours.

The solar funnel cooker is cost and eco-friendly.It requires very little effort to construct and is portable.There are a variety of uses for the solar funnel cooker, from cooking foods to pasteurizing water.Solar power can be harnessed in many ways, but perhaps the simplest is through solar cooking.Solar cookers make using alternative fuel sources both accessible and affordable.Solar cookers are especially beneficial to campers, including RV owners and backpackers.
