Mobile – The New Frontier for Small Business

By Cynthia Renee Frazier

The move toward mobile solutions is significant and one that small business owners can’t continue to ignore. Why? Because the number of mobile connected devices will exceed the world’s population this year. Believe it or not, one expert says there are more people worldwide who own a mobile phone than a toothbrush. And that number is growing at a rapid pace.

The fact is, there is a large piece of the pie waiting for those business owners who shift their focus toward mobile.

It’s no secret that today’s consumers use a mobile phone to stay connected to social media and to research products and services online. What may not be well known is that nearly 29% of those who use a mobile phone to conduct research end up making their purchase online as well. So it is safe to say that those small businesses that do not focus on mobile solutions, stand to lose a huge market share to their competitors who do offer mobile contact channels.

Just deciding to jump into the massive mobile space is not enough though. Small business owners must be prepared to overcome challenges that could impact their potential mobile success. For one, small business owners must know their customer base and find a way to make mobile activities relevant to the customer, not the business. Another challenge for small business owners shifting to mobile solutions is, falling into the trap of thinking that mobile is only about discounts and Couponing. Actually, there are multiple mobile communication channels that help a small business stay connected to their customer base in ways that generate transactions. The key is to find those channels that reach consumers where they are, and connect the business to the customer’s immediate needs. When that is done, the payout is tremendous for the business owner and it makes the customer happy.

A Biblical Perspective On The Secret And The Law Of Attraction

talents that lend themselves to our individual abilities to acquire the things we desire.

God made us all unique, with a purpose, and with a certain mission to fulfill His will. It isn't all about us! Now does that mean the Law of Attraction should be ignored? Is it all just a bunch of garbage for the Christian? Absolutely not! The Law of Attraction is a biblical concept.

Once we understand the proper mechanics and the proper use of the law of attraction and discuss it within the church, we should refer to it as the "biblical law of attraction" simply that there may be no misunderstanding. So from here to the end of this article, I'll refer to it as the "Biblical Law of Attraction." Now, the Biblical Law of Attraction and God's will can, and should work together in your life. Let me clarify it from a biblical perspective in the following three points: 1. The Worldly Law of Attraction and the Believer in Christ The worldly teaching of the Law of Attraction has brought much confusion to the believer in Christ for one very good reason: It leaves out the entire concept of God's will! If you've been trying to use the Biblical Law of Attraction in the way the worldly teachers teach it, you'll soon find yourself feeling far from God! 2. Why the Basic Concept of the Law of Attraction Works for Everyone Like I said previously, the Law of Attraction is a biblical concept and a Godly principle. It's just that the worldly teaching of it is not Godly. It has distorted biblical references by leaving Jesus out of the equation, thereby perverting the Word of God to suit its own purposes. 3. The Basic Concept of the Law of

By Daniel N. Brown Attraction and God's Will The Law of Attraction is a biblical concept, but has been perverted by worldly Jesus' teaching on the Biblical Law of Attraction deals with our beliefs, thoughts, teachings; therefore, the church should seek teaching on the biblical Law of Attraction. words and actions. The worldly teachers of the Law of Attraction teach that our words Now I'm sure you've heard of the teaching known as "The Secret." The concept is, by and thoughts are enough, like there's some sort of magic in what we request from, who using this "secret," which is "The Law of Attraction," you can attract anything you want they call, the "Universe." God is interested in our "issues," and He wants a relationship in your life: more money, a bigger house, more business, the perfect mate, literally with us more than anything else. He wants our heart; therefore it grieves Him when we anything you want! While the teachings conveyed about the Law of Attraction from chase after selfish ambitions instead of Him. So, how should one use the Biblical Law of worldly teachers contain many truths, they also contain some contradictory ideas to the Attraction? The answer is, to glorify God in his or her life. Not merely to obtain selfish Word of God. For example, I personally disagree with the notion that a person can have ambitions. just anything. The reason being, we were born with different strengths, skills, and

Bible Study On Revelations 18 ­ The Judgment Of Babylon

develop. This cornerstone works to make life better for women almost everywhere just as she did when she founded her cosmetic business.

Are you aware that one in three women will be diagnosed with cancer during her lifetime? Although this might not be you, it will be someone you know and love. There's just no way to avert this cold hard fact. Mary Kay Ash acknowledged this and chose to work to get rid of cancer to make life better for everybody. The Mary Kay Foundation contributes money to improve the healthiness of women everywhere. Cancer death rates are on the decrease.

One reason for this is earlier detection. The sooner cancer is detected, the simpler it is to treat. Money supplied by this foundation may be used for earlier detection as well as medical technology to make this possible.

Home is said to be a place in which you go to rest and relax whilst getting away from the stresses of daily life. Sadly, for many women, home doesn't supply this relief thanks to domestic abuse. Approximately as much as 3 million incidents of household assault occur each year and this needs to end. The Mary Kay Foundation offers grants for shelters that helps those who find themselves in this case. Women between the ages of 15 to 44 are in the most risk. Violence inside the house is the number one reason for injury among women in this age group. Women who are in this case not only suffer physically, but emotionally and this really should stop.
