An unsecured personal loan is a great way to consolidate debt, pay off other small loans, or clean up your credit. There are many reasons that people get unsecured personal loans. The important thing is to understand what having an unsecured personal loan really means. It is equally important to weigh all your options for paying off debt.

Let’s look at the responsibilities of having an unsecured personal loan. First it is important to understand that an unsecured personal loan means that you do not have any collateral for the bank to collect if you cannot pay your loan. This increases your finance charges and interest rate. The bank has to cover themselves when deal with an unsecured personal loan somehow, right?

Many affiliates consider themselves information sources, or niche environments where people with specific interests meet and communicate. They (and their visitors) consider them to be experts in their fields, but they often don’t think of themselves as a brand. Thinking of their site in terms of brand identity is a jump for them. But branding isn’t just for monolithic companies like Microsoft or Procter & Gamble.

You have your own unique identity, you do things a certain way, people expect certain things of you – they trust you. You’ve earned what the annual reports of the big companies call “goodwill”. Goodwill is the value of the company above and beyond the pile of cash they’d receive if they sold everything the company owned. A niche site with a following has plenty of goodwill. So how do you capitalize upon it?

Create a special logo, typeface and “look” for your site. Take a look at your competitors and be sure that no one, no matter how quickly they look will mistake you for a competitor. Let your own personality shine through in everything. If you have pet phrases, what better than having them become part of the “speak” of your niche group. Develop a tagline, or better yet, have an online contest for a tagline. Who knows the brand better than the people who’ve invested in it? In everything you do, from answering questions on your blog, to choosing the tone of informational articles, keep your brand in mind. You’ll know it’s working when you hear your niche group refer to something as a very (your brand name)y way of doing things!

Most government agencies cannot pass an audit of their expenses. I can vouch for that and have been a long-time advocate; that the government follow the same rules they force on business. Walk the Walk; In 1990 Bush Sr. signed The Chief Financial Officer’s Act. The Act called for 14 cabinet level departments and 10 major agencies to appoint CFOs and try to emulate business and accounting standards used in publicly held corporations. The act and other financial reform legislation that followed, required that 24 agencies produce auditable Financial Statements. Guess what?

In 2000 ten years after the act was the first year that all 24 agencies filed their statements on time. In 2002 there were 13 programs of 6 agencies with discrepancies of 20.7 Billion dollars. Those heads of those agencies should be prosecuted along with Arthur Anderson, the Shredders and any Enron people who are found guilty. The Justice Department has been unaudited or did not receive a clean opinion on their financial statements from 1996-2001. Don’t you think they should get their own house in order before attacking business? I think so.

These agencies waste money and haphazardly go about their business. Many feel they are crooks; read CFO Magazine March 2002 issue article entitled “FEDERAL OFFENSES.” We are not making this up, this is unfortunate, but accurate stuff. Let’s take the FTC for instance which amongst other things requires all franchise companies to have audited financial statements to prove their worthiness to consumers, yet their own agency cannot produce proof that they have their books in order. How dare such agencies wave their mighty flag at American Business who has built this great nations. How dare they condemn the only group who can bring us out of recession and maintain us after we emerge, how dare they hide behind their piles of BS and budget woes swept under the Justice Department logo’ed carpet and stacks of bogus paperwork.

Is this the best the Federal Trade Commission can do? Is this the best they can offer as they label business people fraudsters and crooks? Is this the best they can do as they file lawsuits against the entrepreneurs of America? Well quite frankly this is just not good enough. Time to downsize; think about it?

You Have the Power to Change Your Life!

Do you wish you could go back in time and make decisions that
would change your life? Well I am not a genie therefore; I am
not qualified to grant you any wishes! However, there is one
thing I can do which is tell you: that even though you can not
travel back in time, you can still change your life. Does this
sound good? Keep reading!

It does not matter how many mistakes you have made in life, how
old you are, how many people you hurt along the way, how many
wrong choices you made, etc. You can always start over with a
new day. You can change your life for the better as long as you
want to.

Even in the worst case scenarios for example a convicted child
molester came to light, he went as far as going to a popular TV
show and spoke about the horrible things he had done. Not that
he should be anyone’s idol but, you know what: he had guts to
come clean to the World and even though, he can never travel
back in time an undo the harm done. He has taken the
responsibility of telling parents how to protect their children
from people like him. As a parent I can truly appreciate such
advice.

As humans we have the ability to make mistakes, do harm, etc.
But most importantly we also have the ability to learn from our
experiences either good or bad. Forgive yourself and start all
over again. As I stated before: It does not matter how old you
are, what the odds are against you. If you would like to change
your life for the better; then you have the power to do so.

Make changes today,

A concern for many of the participants in the survey results was
repeat business. One of the best ways to get repeat business is
to outline what makes YOU want to do business with someone else
again, and apply these same questions to your own business. Ask
yourself the following: Were you clear as to what you wanted or
needed? Were all your needs meet based on what you told the
business you wanted or needed? Were they courteous, friendly?
Did you get what you needed in a timely manner? Did they
follow-up with you (to see if you were happy with their product
or service)? Did you respond to a follow-up?

The kind of questions are going to depend on the business or
service offered. For example, when we finish a lease purchase
deal we send final letters to both the tenant/buyer and the
seller, and tell them it was a pleasure doing business with
them, we wish them the best, and we would appreciate a short
note if they were happy with our services. We include a self
addressed stamped envelope for their convenience, and ask them
if they know of anyone that could use our services.

For those of you that sell products, follow-up with a survey,
letter or telephone call to find out how the product is working
for them, do they have any questions. Are you providing support
for this product, if so, this is a great time to go over the
support you provide, and other products you offer which your
customer might need in the future. Be sure to send your customer
updates on this product and others that might be appropriate.

For those of you that say in Creative Real Estate once the deal
is done it’s done. Yes, it is if you are acting as an investor
only. However, our credo is if you approach Creative Real Estate
as a business, and run it as a business, the business will come
to you, rather than you having to keep finding the deals.
