 Entrepreneurs are preparing everyday to be the best in there industry. One of the best tools of insuring you become the expert is by continuously educating yourself. If your a real estate entrepreneur, your probably asked this question very often, "What is a short sale?". To many of your potential clients the language may be received as a foreign language. Have you ever considered developing a detail guide for your clients to have readily available to present a potential client? Many people are visual in learning. Today, we will share clips of a great article by realtor.com which explains what a short sale is? Can this be a good investment for entrepreneurs seeking to build a business in real estate? " Say you’re selling your home; however, the offer you get is so low, it won’t cover the total amount you owe on your mortgage. But you need to unload it, so you’ll take it. This is a short sale—simply put, you end up “short” on paying back your lender, and the bank agrees to accept less than what’s owed on the loan. According to the most recent data from real estate information company RealtyTrac, 5.1% of all single-family home and condo sales in early 2016 were short sales. Often homeowners are pushed into a short sale by personal financial troubles that make it impossible to pay their monthly mortgage. At the same time, they find it hard to sell at a price that would enable them to pay off their loan—especially if local real estate market trends have driven down their home’s value.

 As a small business owner the thought of financial statements and/or financial reporting may seem challenging for you to understand. Don't allow that fear to keep you from reading this article. As an entrepreneur, understanding your very own financial statements, just as well as your accountant, is what will help define future goals and success. Let's take a look at what financial reporting includes and what it means for your growing business? Financial reporting includes the following:
A small business uses cash flow statements to report the inflow and outflow of the business. The inflow is the cash or revenues that come into the business through the sale of commodities; the outflow is the cash used in the daily operations of the business. This inward and outward flow of cash is important to keep a business in operation. Without sufficient inflow, then the business will lack cash to pay for expenses and to purchase inventory or stock.

Let people be surprised that it was more than you promised and easier than you said. – Jim Rohn  How much do you know about problems that occur in the oil and gas industry? The workmen in the field have to complete many phases to ensure a well gets to the producing phase. If there is a delay, it can be for reasons we have identified and shared below. Workover operations generally involve using a special workover rig to restore or stimulate production from a particular well. A situation in which a workover may be necessary would be an open hole completion where sand from the producing formation has clogged the tubing end, reducing or completely cutting off the fluid flow from the producing horizon. A workover may also be necessary when the casing has been perforated, and rock or sand particles have clogged the openings in the casing. Other problems and oil and gas company may encounter is regarding damaged or lost equipment and materials. Equipment or materials may be damaged or lost during the drilling process. Some examples of damaged equipment would be twisted drillpipe or broken bit. Examples of lost equipment include parts of the drill bit, hand tools (e.g., wrenches) and drillpipe twisted off downhole. If the well is an exploratory well, the cost are expenses or capitalized, depending upon whether the well is unsuccessful or successful. The oil and gas industry offers great opportunities to learn a wide range of rules, regulations and professional growth. Learning is key for any industry, thus I encourage you to never stop learning and to take on opportunities that allow you to learn more. Logic will get you from A to B.

The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary. – Vidal Sassoon  Before deciding to start your new business, entrepreneurs should consider completing the task of determining their net worth. The process is pretty simple but a path rarely traveled by entrepreneurs before launching their business. Taking the step to create a foundation for the creation of a financial plan that reflects who you truly are says a lot about your future success. Just imagine how many professional before you wish they would have slowed down and taken a step back in order to take a huge leap forward. Think about it, once you start your journey of turning your dreams into a reality when does that process ever slow down? It doesn't. Each new day gets you a step closer to your dream goals, so why would you stop. Understanding this, now is a good time to "stop" and define what success means to you especially financially. Start with gathering all of your most recent important documents such as retirement statements, bank statements, insurance documents, home-owner deeds, investment accounts and automobile titles. This will provide you an idea of your current net worth (Assets - Liabilities) before making the decision to use personal funds to fund your business start-up. I encourage you to not be afraid to know this fact about yourself? It's nothing to be ashamed of - it's more of a stepping stone and a first step in establishing future goals. Consider how you can improve your net worth with the tips below.
If what you are doing is not moving you towards your goals, then it’s moving you away from your goals. – Brian Tracy  The world of filming offers a dream career for many people. As a business owner, how are you planning for company success? And as an entrepreneur how will your business services be unique to the industry? Planning for success in any industry starts with a business plan that includes short-term and long-term goals. Some states offer grants for filming in their areas but grants will not keep your business moving so you must consider other options for funding. Topics such as funding should be outlined in detail within your business plan. When developing a business plan be prepared to incorporate the expected challenges the industry may bring such as taxation, hiring staff and making the proper connections. Will you bring a partner onboard and if so at what phase of the business? How will you and the business partner mingle funds into the business.
