Should You Consider Outsourcing SEO?

For any online business, deciding whose SEO services to employ is a major business decision. In light of the recent trend towards outsourcing business functions to offshore providers, one question that faces businesses is whether to consider outsourcing SEO to an offshore SEO services provider. This article will cover some of the benefits to outsourcing SEO.Outsourcing, in general, can be a huge benefit to companies. Although many companies find it hard to do so, for a fear of a lack of control, those that outsource usually are glad they did. Typical benefits that companies that outsource experience are great results for much less cost. Outsourcing SEO is no exception.One huge benefit to outsourcing SEO is that SEO services companies do SEO for a living, and are good at it. They have the SEO expertise and knowledge to get you the results you need. Being able to tap into the expertise of an SEO services provider will free you up to run your business while experiencing better SEO results than you could probably accomplish on your own.Another benefit to outsourcing SEO is that it would cost you much less than it would to hire an SEO employee. Outsourcing SEO overseas is even cheaper than outsourcing to a local SEO services company. And just because it’s outsourced to someone offshore, doesn’t mean your results will be any worse. In fact, you will often experience even better results from outsourcing SEO offshore than you would from someone local, as offshore SEO services providers need to be good to get the business.A third benefit is that by outsourcing SEO, and putting someone on it who has the time to dedicate to getting you your results, you will get your results much quicker than you would if you kept your SEO in-house and had to juggle SEO with trying to run your business.Here’s a story from my personal experience. My friend was launching an online business which was going to be entirely online, and so he needed good SEO in order to have a successful business. He chose to outsource the SEO services for the business to an offshore SEO. He was soon ranking in the top 5 results on Google for all his main search terms, even beating out Wikipedia and a government site for his most popular term. The best part about it was that he was getting these great results for only a few hundred dollars a month.This example just goes to show that you can get great SEO results by outsourcing SEO. Here’s a quick, three question test that will show you whether or not outsourcing SEO would be a good option for you:Do you want to achieve great SEO results? Do you want these great results at a great price? Do you want great results quickly?If you answered yes to these questions, then you should definitely consider using an offshore SEO services provider. Outsourcing SEO works, and businesses all over are experiencing that. You could too…

Building Your Business With A Purpose

Building my business has been a fun yet challenging journey. My Business journey began in 1998 and 15 years later, I have discovered that the only way to build a successful business is with a Purpose. In fact, I believe that a business without a purpose is a business that is destined to fail.When I wrote my business plan, it was written with my purpose in mind and that was, “To provide High Quality Childcare.” In fact, my purpose was the glue that held the business plan together. Moreover, as I completed each section of the business plan, it was completed with my purpose in mind.Building a Business on purpose, takes lot of planning, lots of energy and lots of focus. Most importantly, you must be willing to persevere… no matter what comes your way. Adversity seems to attach itself to every business with a purpose; however, you must stay focused and stay the course.I must say, it is an awesome feeling to write the purpose for your business and see it in action! Are you ready to build to discover how to build a business with a Purpose? Today I am going to share with you some of the strategies that I used to build my business on purpose.A business without a purpose is like playing basket ball without a ‘Rim”… it’s pointless!

Master Your Time. You must take some time at the beginning of every week and make a list of your business priorities. Be sure to add your most important duties at the top of the list. Delegate time wasters. As you do this… You will develop a sense of accomplishment for every week. Moreover you will become a master of your time.

Personal Development. If you are not growing as an individual, your business will suffer or if you have character flaws, it will show and could even destroy your business. I recommend that you read a personal development book 2-3 times a year, so that you are able to develop a mindset that will sustain not destroy your success.

Master Your Money. You must have a plan for how you will spend the money that comes into and leaves your business! Money is the life line of your business and you must learn how to manage it well. Only buy what you need, invest in your business on a regular basis and keep a close eye on your money.

Business Associates. Hang around other successful business owners. In fact, get an Accountability partner; someone who will hold you accountable for your business success. If you are hanging around millionaires… you will begin to think like, talk like, look like and eventually become, “A Millionaire.”

Evaluation system. Be sure to create an evaluation system for your business, to evaluate if you are really operating based on your purpose or if you are even accomplishing your business “mission.” As you evaluate your business, keep this in mind; Only use methods and systems that are working for you and stop doing what is not working.

Take some time for you! After working 5-6 days a week on building your business; take some time for you. I find that, the more rest that I get; the more productive I am on Monday morning. Also, plan to travel! I believe that travel is a great way to spark your creativity and give you new ideas for your business!
I challenge you to take a moment to reflect on the purpose of your business? Your purpose is your “why”; it is the reason you are in business, so be sure to never stop building your business with a purpose. In fact, as you focus on building your business with a purpose; you will attract to you what you need for your business and what you need for the business will come to you sooner than you think it will!

Some Ethical Issues in Health Care – Requirements and Treatments

When it comes to health care ethical issues, there are almost as many ethical issues as there are health issues to be treated. There are laws in place to direct the behavior of almost every person in the health care personnel chain, from the nurse to the nurses aide who assists them and the doctor who ultimately gets to try and make the decisions to treat within the confines of the insurance system ruling over the life of the patient in question.There are ethical issues that are clearly defined, such as the requirements for treatment decisions when a patient has a Medical Power of Attorney or a Living Will. Then there are thealth care ethical issues that don’t have such clearly defined areas, such as whether it is allowable to withhold a possible lifesaving treatment from a patient only because their insurance will not pay for it.Health care providers must make their treatment decisions based on a great many determining factors, perhaps the most constraining of which is the insurance reimbursement regime. If doctors and other health care providers could just treat their patients and have only that to worry about, what a wonderful world it would be. But doctors have to constantly worry about whether or not they and possibly the facility where they practice will be paid by the insurance companies. The next most important factor which affects health care providers ability to provide the care patients truly need is whether or not the patient has been truthful with the information they have given to the health care provider, and whether or not they have had access to health care to establish and maintain their health care needs.Ethical concerns also come into play with patients whose family constellations are unclear. A patient who has a spouse has a straightforward next of kin when decisions have to be made. When a patient is separated from their spouse, and even perhaps has a new significant other, the next of kin can be much more difficult to determine, and protecting all health care providers-doctors, hospitals, etc from the liability risk of allowing the person who does not have a legal right to make decisions for a patient is a necessity. The health care ethical issues presented by these kinds of situations are very delicate.One important ethical concern in health care is the need to protect oneself from the very real danger of the transmission of communicable diseases in bodily fluids. Especially in cases where a patients history is not available, health care providers have the right and the responsibility to protect themselves from viruses and bacteria that may be present in the body fluids of patients to which they are exposed taking care of these patients. However, this must be balanced with the possibility of making patients feel accused or uncomfortable by these same protective measures.One last important health care ethical issues, especially in this day in age, is the protection of private, personally identifying information. Patients records used to be kept in public places where almost anyone could read them-filing pockets outside their doors, for instance. This kind of situation is not longer allowed, and records are more closely guarded nowadays, and many hospitals now rely on records kept entirely on computers.Ethical issues are a part of almost every field, but health care has a special place in the system, where people are trusted with making those who are sick feel better, those who are injured able to return to their prior lives, and those who have chronic conditions and those who love them more able to cope with the demands of living with those conditions.
