Small Business Administration, family businesses are not only common, but contribute to more than 60 percent of the U.S. Your cleaning business may fall into this realm as many new businesses rely on help from a spouse, siblings, children and even parents. The upside to a family business is that the individuals know one another and can identify their strengths and weaknesses. There is also a general feeling of trust and loyalty between family members, which helps them get through rough spots. However, a family business can also bring about much frustration between family members and non-family employees. For any small business owner it can be tough to keep work at work and family matters at home. This is even tougher if you work with family members. If you are not careful, your cleaning business can easily slide over from work hours into your private family time. As the lines between family and business become blurred you will find your attention diluted and this may prevent your business from reaching its full potential. What are some common problems that family run businesses...

Writers of medical advice--including columnists, insurance companies, governmental agencies, medical organizations, drug companies and even practitioners--are all biased. They always have agendas. They all choose to write about certain topics and not others. They make choices about what to include in their articles, what to leave out and how to state their cases. They re all self-serving. They all have something to sell, even when there is not an immediate cash-return. Does that mean you should throw up your hands, say the hell with it, and never read or listen to another medical message. I don t think so, but in order to derive value from these messages, you sure as heck better understand the agendas of the people who created them. Or as the psychologists say, if you want to understand a behavior, you need to figure out what motivated it. Let s examine some advice-givers and their biases. What motivates health columnists. Well, how about their continued employment, the needs of their publisher-employers, and the needs of the companies the publishers wish to attract as...

What is self-discipline exactly, and why is it important. I think many people in our modern society struggle with self-control I know I do . There are so many temptations staring us in the face each day. Advertising is purposely geared to appeal to our emotional desires of wanting to be attractive, admired, successful and content. We are always on the search for the next best thing that will make us feel better about ourselves or enhance our lives in some way. There is nothing wrong or immoral about our desires, except for one thing: When we consistently allow the desires of the flesh i.e. physical selves to overtake our minds and spirits, we eventually become very weak, and it becomes harder and harder to resist further temptation. Before we know it, we are unable to resist even the smallest desire, and we lose control of ourselves and our lives. We know smoking is unhealthy. We know junk food is no good for us. We know we should be exercising each day, and getting enough sleep each night. We know that excessive debt is dangerous and unnecessary. Do we apply this knowledge in...

Dust mites, also known as pillow mites or bed mites really do exist, and are microscopic members of the same class of living things as spiders and ticks. This tiny organism is a member of the Order Aracina, and measures only about 0.3 millimeters in length. They have eight legs just like a spider and tend to be rather round in shape. Bed mites can be found on any slightly dusty surface in a home, and the bedroom is a prime place for them to be located. They feed on the very tiny dead skin cells that are shed from human skin, and tend to be attracted to bedding, pillows and furniture since this is an area where there is a lot of contact with skin. While not only found in dirty conditions, they do tend to be found more in areas that are humid and less frequently cleaned. The ideal temperature for dust or bed mites is between sixty-five and eighty-five degrees, just the temperature of most houses. They also like moderate to high humidity locations. Their food source is constantly brought to them every night when we go to bed, as our skin sheds dead cells as we sleep. If you are a...

Cholesterol is a soft, waxy, fat-like material that is made by the liver. Cholesterol serves many vital functions, and is part of every cell in the body. Our bodies require cholesterol to maintain healthy cell walls, make hormones, make vitamin D, and to make bile acids. The food we eat can also play a big part in the amount of cholesterol in our bodies. If we eat an excess of food containing saturated fat, the liver will produce more cholesterol than the body needs. Our bodies will also absorb cholesterol directly from food that contains cholesterol. In nature cholesterol is only found in animal based foods, but some food processing can cause other foods to have cholesterol as well. Foods fried in animal fat or tropical oils, have also been found to contain cholesterol. Saturated fat is also found primarily in animal based foods. Cholesterol on its own can not dissolve in the blood. Tiny particles called lipoproteins deliver cholesterol to and from the blood cells. There are two lipoproteins that work with cholesterol, low-density lipoproteins LDL and high-density lipoproteins...
