The Importance Of Making Money

The Global Economic Monitor concludes that as much as one-third of the differences in national economic growth may be due to differences in entrepreneurial activity. In America, as many as 8.4 out of every 100 US adults are right now trying to start businesses of their own. Looking at a business birth-rate strategy in the UK should be a priority for Government.

The fact is that small businesses create the majority of new jobs - 1.6 million (or 64 per cent) of the 2.5 million new jobs created in the U.S in 1996, for example. Since 1980, Fortune 500 companies have cut more than five million jobs while the rest of the economy has added 34 million new jobs.

These statistics are very impressive, but when compared with such statistics for the UK, it can be deduced that the British economy gains considerably more from the small business community. For instance, small businesses account for over 50 per cent of employment outside the public sector, and contributes half the GDP of UK Plc. It follows logically from this, therefore, that small businesses and their ability to create such wealth and employment should be focused on more favourably by our government.

Education in entrepreneurial skills is virtually non-existent in UK primary and secondary schools, as is economic knowledge in general: as a whole we lack a strong understanding of basic economics. But what should we do to address this? The best place to start is to look across the pond at the bastion of entrepreneurial activity: America.

Hundreds of US colleges and more than 90 university-based centres of entrepreneurship now offer entrepreneurship training. Twenty years ago, only a handful of colleges even offered entrepreneurship courses. Today, education in this arena is proliferating across the country.

The National Council on Economic Education has focussed on the teaching of complex entrepreneurship skills such as opportunity recognition, utilising resources in pursuit of opportunity, and mastering long-term vision.

Mini-Society is one of the programs designed by the Kauffman Centre for Entrepreneurial Leadership to teach entrepreneurship to elementary and secondary school children. The program is an experience-based approach directed at children ages 8 to 12. Through Mini-Society, children design and develop their own society and identify tasks for which they can earn money.

Ultimately, the children identify opportunities and establish their own businesses to provide goods and services to their fellow citizens. Throughout the 10-week program, the instructor or course leader conducts in-depth briefings with each student to introduce and explain the concepts underlying the learning experiences. More than 3,500 teachers and youth leaders across the country have been trained to teach Mini-Society. Furthermore, the National Foundation for teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE) has designed programs (e.g. summer camps) to teach low-income teens how to start their own businesses.

There are also programs that are attempting to bridge the gap between the science and business communities (e.g. Stanford University; University of Chicago; University of Colorado-Boulder; University of Iowa; University of Texas-Austin etc). Such programs will serve as future role models for encouraging the integration of entrepreneurship and technical skills-based education.

A great example of American entrepreneurship can be seen in my following economic tip courtesy of my company Entrepreneur Secrets. Ink is known as 'black gold': at printer market leaders Hewlett-Packard, ink and toner supplies make up more than 50% of their annual profits, although they bring in less than a quarter of the company's billion in sales. At an ounce, it is more expensive that Chanel No.5 eau de Parfum, Dom Perignon 1990 vintage champagne, and 22-year-old Rosebank single malt whisky.

But a new breed of fast-growing upstarts is out to crash the profit party. Across America, retail stores are cropping up in strip malls among the Gaps and Wal-Marts where consumers and small business owners can go to have empty printer and toner cartridges refilled - usually for half of what it costs to buy a new one.

The largest of these outfits, Cartridge World, based in Australia, just passed 1,000 stores worldwide, and its North America affiliate has opened 275 stores in the US. The company is signing up a new US franchisee daily and plans to top 3,000 stores in the country by early next decade, a phenomenal achievement.

There have been ways to reduce printing costs for years for shoppers willing to deal with messy do-it-yourself refill kits or buy from online outfits with iffy-quality products. But the new retail chains will make re-use an option for millions of mainstream PC owners. Customers can either wait for a few minutes for their cartridge to be refilled, or pick up a 'pre-filled' one in stock. Most refill franchisees also have their own vans to do pickups and deliveries to local businesses, usually at no extra charge.

Commercial Colloidal Silver Vs Making Your Own With a High-Quality Colloidal Silver Generator

A Dirty Little Secret About Colloidal Silver

This week I took some time out to visit several local health food stores and online sources, to check on colloidal silver prices. Interestingly, I found that prices for commercial colloidal silver products - all claiming to be "the best" - ranged anywhere from .50 an ounce to an ounce.

12 OUNCES EQUALS

GNC, for example, sells a popular colloidal silver product offering 8 oz. of 10 ppm concentration for .95. That's an ounce. Not too bad, huh? And another health food store - a small regional chain - was selling tiny four-ounce bottles for - a little over an ounce.

An online source was offering their 8-oz. bottles of for , plus .95 shipping and handling - adding up to about per ounce. And another online source was offering 16 ounce "samples" of their product for plus .95 shipping and handling - about .25 per ounce.

Overall, the average price was about to an ounce. Sounds pretty good, right?

But the problem is this: During a common health crisis such as a cold, flu, sore throat, earache, tummy infection, upper respiratory infection, or other infection, experienced colloidal silver users might take anywhere from an ounce to four ounces a day or more. So you can see that it's pretty easy to end up spending some pretty hefty fungolas to cure a simple infection with this amazing, infection-fighting agent, when all is said and done!

A Dirty Little Secret

In spite of its high costs, colloidal silver has become one of the most popular nutritional supplements in America over the last two decades. By some estimates it is now used regularly by roughly 10 million Americans to help cure infections, fight disease and restore health and immunity.

But there has been a dirty little secret lurking in the background, and the big manufacturers hope you'll never find out about it.

What's that dirty little secret? It's quite simple. Manufacturers of this powerful natural infection-fighting agent have been grossly overcharging you for decades. In fact, a tiny 4-ounce bottle of store-bought colloidal silver contains only about six cents worth of actual silver particles!

6 Cents Worth of Silver Particles for ?

Yes, that's right. It costs them about six cents to make four ounces worth of product, yet greedy health food store vendors and online sources charge you as much as for that same tiny amount!

That's a whopping 2,400% mark-up on every bottle sold. No other nutritional supplement on earth is so cheap to make, yet so expensive to buy.

Outraged? You ought to be. But it gets even worse. According to one recent study, only about 43% of the commercial colloidal silver products tested contained the actual concentration of silver listed on the bottle. Some contained no silver particles at all!

In other words, not only have manufacturers of this product been grossly overcharging you, but many of them have apparently been short-changing you even further by selling you severely diluted solutions!

The Good News!

Here's the good news: Thanks to a recent breakthrough in colloidal silver-making technology, you can now completely bypass the unfair price monopoly held by commercial manufacturers. In fact, you make your own fresh, pure, unadulterated, therapeutic-quality colloidal silver - in the comfort and privacy of your own home - for about 36 cents a quart!

Yes, that's under .50 a gallon for a product many health food stores and internet vendors are charging an average of an ounce for!

And believe it or not, because of the brand new innovation we're going to tell you about, the homemade stuff is now higher in quality than most of the commercial brands!

How can this be possible? First, a little background:

How Commercial Colloidal Silver Manufacturers Tried to Sabotage the Use of Colloidal Silver Generators!

It all started about 15 years ago when a brilliant physicist named Dr. Robert Beck figured out how to produce a miniature version of the larger machines used by manufacturers to make colloidal silver.

Dr. Beck's little device, while admittedly crude, was very effective. In size, it was only slightly larger than a deck of cards. And it was powered by three 9-volt batteries. Best of all, this nifty little device allowed users to make 16 ounce batches of the liquid infection-fighting elixer at a time, for just pennies!

Soon, tens of thousands of users had purchased these little generators and began making their own colloidal silver. This threw the big commercial manufacturers into a royal tizzy. The saw their lucrative monopoly on sales falling apart right in front of their eyes, and all of the exorbitant profits they'd been making going right down the drain. After all, if even a fraction of the roughly ten million colloidal silver users across North America began making their own solutions at home, the big commercial manufacturers would face millions of dollars in sales losses annually.

So, in order to protect their profits and help cripple the sales of the little home generators, some of the big commercial manufacturers did something quite underhanded. So underhanded, in fact, it would have made any crooked politician proud. They began floating nasty rumors throughout the natural health community, stating that the colloidal silver solutions made with the tiny, battery-operated generators were somehow "toxic" or even "poisonous" because a compound called silver chloride was formed in the process.

The Big Lie

Of course, the fact that silver chloride has never been demonstrated to be "toxic" or "poisonous" was completely irrelevant to them. And the fact that silver chloride was first produced commercially by Dr. Leonard Herschberg of Johns-Hopkins University in 1923, and was used for decades in hospital settings with no ill effects, was completely ignored.

Also ignored was the fact that silver chloride is so harmless it has no significant toxicology ratings listed in the various government toxicology registries such as the ATSDR, NIOSH-RTECS, the HSDB, or the EPA.

None of this deterred the big manufacturers from making such a bogus claim. The only thing that mattered to them was bringing the sales of the popular little home generators to a screeching halt.

Of course, the tens of thousands of users of these little devices knew better. They continued making and using their own colloidal silver for only pennies per batch, curing their own infections and significantly boosting their health in the process.

But unfortunately, many people who were not as familiar with colloidal silver actually believed the carefully orchestrated campaign of rumors and lies being promulgated by some of the big manufacturers. Out of fear of ingesting harmless "silver chloride," they refrained from purchasing the little generators. And as a result, they continued to pay through the nose for those tiny four-ounce bottles of the product being sold by the big commercial manufacturers.

The Battle Continues

Since that time, the battle between commercial manufacturers and manufacturers of the little home generators, has continued unabated. But now, thanks to a brand new innovation in colloidal silver-making technology, that battle is finally about to end for good. And the big commercial manufacturers don't like it one bit.

Why? Because we've discovered a brand new kind of generator that not only makes fresh, pure, unadulterated colloidal silver without producing silver chloride, it also makes highly electrically charged silver particles that are smaller in size than anything the big manufacturers have ever been able to produce.

More on that in just a moment. But first...

What's Really Wrong With Conventional Colloidal Silver Generators?

Since the time Dr. Beck invented that first, relatively crude little battery-operated home colloidal silver generator some 15 years ago, things have changed. Many new types of such generators have been developed. The market is practically flooded with them. Some run on batteries. Some run on household AC power. Some use complex computer technology. One model even plugs into a standard household phone jack, and runs on phone power!

And while these new units have brought home colloidal silver-making technology out of the dark ages and into the realm of relatively modern technological sophistication, there is still one problem that has not (until now) successfully been resolved: all too often these nifty little home units produce overly-large silver particles that are difficult for the human body to absorb, utilize and afterwards, excrete.

Frequently, the particles are so large they do not stay properly suspended in the distilled water they are made in for extended periods of time. Instead, in a very short period of time the overly-large silver particles begin to lose their electrical charge, fall out of suspension in the solution and slowly drop to the bottom of the storage bottle (it's called "precipitation" of the silver particles), leaving a thin silvery-grey coating on the bottom. This of course vastly decreases the potency and effectiveness of the colloidal silver solution.

Interestingly enough, the big commercial manufacturers have known about this little problem all along, and have never mentioned it in spite of their utter animosity toward the little home generators.

Why have the commercial manufacturers not capitalized on this flaw and spilled the beans on this problem? The answer is simple: It is because all too frequently their expensive bottled brands of colloidal silver - sold in health food stores throughout the nation - have the very same problem. They are filled with overly-large silver particles!

Why Is Particle Size So Important?

So why is particle size so important? In order for colloidal silver to do its job - which is to help wipe out infections and restore a state of health and sustained immunity in the human body - the silver particles in a solution have to be small enough for the body to properly absorb, transport, utilize and excrete. Thus, the smaller they are, the more effective the solution will be.

In other words, smaller silver particles are absorbed better. They are much more easily transported deep into the cells and tissues, just like minerals from the foods you eat. They are utilized by the body with far greater efficiency. And they are much easier for the body to excrete afterwards, which means your risk of excessive silver buildup in the tissues and organs is virtually nil as long as you are using the product in proper moderation.

Conversely, the larger the silver particles are, the less effective the solution will be! Larger particles are harder for the body to absorb...harder for the body to transport into the cells and tissues...harder for the body to utilize...and more difficult for the body to excrete afterwards.

So it stands to reason that a colloidal silver solution consisting chiefly of tiny sub-microscopic silver particles is far more effective than one consisting chiefly of overly-large silver particles.

In fact, the only way to get at truly deep-seated infections - such as those caused by "stealth pathogens" that tend to hide deep within the cells and tissues of the human body - is if the silver particles are small enough for the body to absorb deep into the cells and tissues in the same way it absorbs other needed mineral nutrients such as iron, copper, chromium, zinc, etc.

What's more, the silver particles have to be small enough for the body to excrete after they have done their work, so you don't get an excessive buildup of silver in the body over time.

Unfortunately, most colloidal silver - whether produced by a conventional generator, or sold in health food stores by the big commercial manufacturers - simply does not contain small enough silver particles to handle the tough infections. The vast majority of the particles are too large to do the body any good at all, particularly when it comes to fighting the tougher, deep-seated infections.

Introducing: The Brand New Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator!

That's one reason why I continue to be the biggest booster in the world for the brand new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator. It's a unique new kind of home generator that is truly unlike anything that's ever been produced.

In fact, this new generator can only be described as a bona-fide breakthrough in colloidal silver-making technology. In my opinion, it is literally destined to help put greedy commercial manufacturers completely out of business.

Why? Because unlike most other generators that produce silver particles in the range of 10 to 200 microns or larger (by comparison, a normal red blood cell is about 7 microns) the new Micro-Particle unit has been specially designed to produce tiny, highly absorbable sub-microscopic silver particles, many of which are only a fraction of a single micron in size!

Indeed, the brand new Micro-Particle unit produces silver particles as small as .0008 microns in size. That's only eight ten-thousands of a single micron!

Generally speaking, even bottled colloidal silver products produced by the major commercial manufacturers do not contain silver particles that are anywhere near this small, though they may claim to. Unlike bottled commercial products in which the suspended particles can clearly be seen by shining a tiny laser pointer light through the solution, micro-particle silver is so small it is barely visible even under laser light.

About As Close to Being "Dissolved" As You Can Get!

That's because it is so small, it has virtually no reflective surface. This is just about as close to "dissolved" silver particles as you can get. And because the silver particles are so small, the solution is crystal clear, even though every batch you make is literally teaming with billions of microscopic silver particles.

In fact, these silver particles are so small, to measure them requires the use of a powerful multi-million dollar piece of laboratory equipment called a Transmission Electron Microscope, operating at a whopping 175,000x magnification!

Compare that to commercially manufactured solutions, the particles of which can generally be seen at a mere 20,000x or 30,000x magnification, and you will see that we are talking about a breakthrough in home colloidal silver-making technology that is so phenomenal, nothing else like it has ever been produced!

Vastly More Effective Than Conventional Commercial Products!

Indeed, micro-particle silver is thought to be vastly more effective than conventional commercial silver solutions against hard-to-kill viruses and other deep-seated microorganisms such as those in the insidious mycloplasmas family of pathogens which are now implicated in the onset of numerous forms of chronic degenerative disease including cancer, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, Crohn's colitis, Type II diabetes, multiple sclerosis (MS), Parkinson's disease, Wegener's disease, and collagen-vascular diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and Alzheimer's.

In fact, experts say the micro-particle silver produces literally phenomenal healing results, particularly in "acute care" situations involving serious deep-seated infections where prescription antibiotics or even standard colloidal silver has failed to work, or in situations where some form of chronic degenerative disease associated with mycoplasmas infection has set in.

For example, it has been widely reported that Dr. Darryl See, M.D., former co-director of the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia Clinic at the University of California at Irvine has been having incredible success treating patients with micro-particle colloidal silver. According to Health Sciences Institute, Dr. See says he has witnessed the DNA-PCR tests of many of his patients with known mycoplasmas infections turn from positive to negative with the use of these tiny silver particles (see Mycoplasmas as agents of human disease, Health Sciences Institute, Vol. 2, #10, April 1998.)

This offers profound hope to millions who suffer from such debilitating hidden infections and the subsequent chronic degenerative diseases these insidious microorganisms can cause.

In Summary

In summary, the new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator has been specifically designed to produce a dramatically smaller range of silver particles than anything that's ever been available. This means it can do everything standard silver solutions have become famous for in terms of killing infection and restoring health and immunity. But because the tiny sub-microscopic silver particles are so small, they are far more easily utilized by the human body, and far more easily excreted. Therefore, micro-particle silver solutions can be used with phenomenal success in cases of acute, long-term chronic degenerative diseases where deep-seated infections caused by "stealth pathogens" such as those from the mycoplasmas family are suspected.

Say 'Goodbye!' to Over-Priced Commercial Silver Solutions Forever!

Finally, the big manufacturers of commercial silver solutions have met their match. Now there is no longer any reason to allow them to continue gouging you with exorbitant prices.

With the brand new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator, you can make all of the high-quality colloidal silver you want, quickly and easily, in the comfort and privacy of your own home, for only about 36 cents a quart. And you can do so for the rest of your life!

When you consider the fact that many commercial brands cost as much as or more for a tiny four-ounce bottle, you can see that your very first one-quart batch of micro-particle silver literally pays for the entire cost of the unit!

After that, your only real costs are the distilled water (about 79 cents a gallon at Wal-Mart), and once each year or so you'll need to spend to replace the set of pure, .999 fine silver wire (12 gauge) that comes with your generator.

Indeed, with a brand new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator, a single set of pure silver wire costing you only will allow you to produce over 800 bottles worth of this powerful natural infection-fighting agent over the course of a year, which would cost you over ,000 at today's typical health food store price of per bottle. And your only other cost is the cost of the distilled water.

That's about as close to producing colloidal silver for "free" as you can get! With a brand new Micro-Particle unit, you can literally afford to bathe in the stuff if you want. Indeed, many users brew up a one-quart batch and add it nightly to their bath water for the soothing and invigorating effect it has on the skin.

When you factor in the cost of the silver wire and the cost of the distilled water, it comes out to about 36 cents to make a full one-quart batch of high-quality micro-particle colloidal silver that just blows away the commercially prepared brands costing up to for a tiny 4-ounce bottle. And that's worth a LOT, I think you'll agree!

Fragrance Oil Supplies For Candle Making - Why Prices Vary

People wonder why fragrance oil prices vary from supplier to supplier. Having been a supplier of high end, quality fragrances since 1999 I would like to share some of the things that I have learned.

Prices for fragrance oils can vary for many reasons. The quality of raw materials and concentration of the fragrance are two of the main reasons. Other factors are depth of fragrance, purchasing limitations of manufacturers and purchase commitments of suppliers.

12 OUNCES EQUALS

Type of fragrance - some scents are just more expensive/less expensive to make. Pure and simple, some fragrances oils are made of raw materials that are just more or less expensive. Some ingredients are just more common, easier to grow, process or store. And that will result in a less expensive product. On the other hand, a rare orchid gathered directly from the Tropical Rain Forest that cannot be reproduced by machine will be extremely expensive. Even if it only gives off a very light aroma. The raw materials are outrageously expensive and thus the fragrance oil would also be prohibitively expensive.

Quality of fragrance oil raw materials - Solvents, essential oils and carrier oils are some of the things that may make up fragrance oil. Just like everything else in life there are different qualities of these raw materials. You would not expect a Yugo and a Mercedes to function the same. They both have most of the same parts-body structure, engine, breaks, steering, etc. But it is the quality of each of those components that makes the Mercedes a top quality vehicle and the Yugo, well, a thing of the past. Why should fragrance oils be any different? Take essential oils for instance; growing conditions for plants, soil composition, care and tending of plants are some basic environmental factors. And each component costs. Storage conditions of materials and shipping know-how also must be considered. You can have the best plant grown under the optimal conditions but all of that is wasted if the product is stored or shipped incorrectly.

Quality of fragrance as a whole - Fragrance oils that are made up of a fair amount of essential oils or resins give a "truer" interpretation of certain scents. Essential oils and resins are generally very expensive because of the extraction process.

It takes a lot of plant material to get a tiny bit of oil. The way to get the best scent throw from essential oils is to bind them with other carrier oils. Essential oils are generally heat unstable and will burn off very quickly without releasing their scent. That is why it is important to have them properly bound. And of course this is an added expense.

Strength of Fragrance - Some fragrances are full concentration and some are not. There is no such thing as "triple strength". It is either full concentrate (without fillers or dilatants), or it is not. If something is full strength it is impossible to make it any stronger. But, if fragrance oils are "cut" with fillers they can be made stronger because there is not as much "scent" in it to start with. For instance, if you take 1 ounce of a full strength rose and add 2 ounces of DPG (no scent) you will get 3 ounces of oil. Originally with the full strength rose you would only have needed .5oz (3%) per pound of wax to make a candle very strongly scented. But now with the cut oil you will need 1.5 ounces (9%) per pound of wax to get the SAME scent throw as you did with the uncut half ounce!!!

Depth and complexity of fragrance - Some fragrances have more than one layer or note. Really good fragrances have a top, middle and bottom or dry note. The top note is what you smell in the bottle. It is also the note that "flashes" off quickly when the candle is burning. It is the middle notes, or heart of the fragrance oil that you smell when the candle is burning. The dry down or bottom note is the extra kick that gives the throw or the lingering aroma that finishes off the whole scent experience.

Simply put, some fragrances are not as complicated and therefore cost less. Going back to our Yugo and Mercedes example-A Mercedes has a lot more bells and whistles that make it a highly sought after and expensive car. Just like a fine fragrance, a customer will always prefer a more complex scent with more of the bells and whistles.

Where as there are straight raspberry scents that only have top, middle or dry notes and are very cheap. Unlike other more rare and hard to find raspberry scents that have all three notes! The second raspberry is not just a "brick wall" of scent that you run into. The second raspberry is strong but you "ease" into the scent, enjoying every note. A much more pleasant way to experience scent.

Many times cheap scents and complex scents can smell almost identical in the bottle. Again, you smell the top notes in the bottle. You really must burn your candles to experience the real candle scent! A scent that does not smell like much in the bottle may really bloom in the wax!!! Or visa versa. I have noticed repeatedly that if a fragrance smells good in the bottle it will often times have little to no scent throw in the candle. In fact, I would even go so far as to say that fragrances that are a bit stinky in the bottle would turn out beautiful in the wax.

Stock scents verses unique scents - Most fragrances available to candle making fragrance oil distributors are stock scents. That means that a manufacturer makes them in bulk, stores and then sells them to whoever meets the minimum purchase amount. This means that there are a lot of the exact same scents out there under different names. Stock scents mean that there is no custom work, additions or tweaking done to the oils. These fragrance oils are typically made of lower priced raw materials. Some fragrances can be are tweaked, which adds a bit to the price. And some oils are custom blended from an original idea or concept, which involves a lot more time of the perfumers' time, mind and dedication. These original scent masterpieces will cost more. Think about purchasing real Monet vs. a Monet poster. Perfumers are true artists!

Purchasing volume of fragrance oil distributors - Purchasing power of large, bulk quantities is always greater then that of small orders. Suppliers that purchase only 5 or so pounds at a time pay more then other suppliers that purchase hundreds of pounds at a time. The supplier that buys more has more "negotiating power" with the manufacturers and can get better prices. It is often takes the same amount of time to make five pounds of product vs. Five hundred pounds of product. So money can be re-couped due to lower hourly wages and greater purchasing power of raw materials. Think about making 1 candle or making 10 candles of the same scent. Now think about making 10 different scented candles. Which one do you suppose takes longer? Time is money.

Mark-Up on fragrance oils - The general rule of thumb for retail sales is to double your cost. So if fragrance oils cost only .00 per pound to purchase it would be resold at $12.00. It is really impossible to know the mark up rules and profit margins that each company adheres. Every business must make money. That is why they sell products. It seems that there is no hard and fast rule for fragrance oil companies. Suppliers seem to set their prices at what the market will bear. I know of many suppliers that only pay .00 - .00 per pound and sell their fragrance oils for as much, or more then per pound. While others suppliers purchase their oils for more then .00 per pound and only sell for per pound. Mark-up is determined by individual company guidelines and is not standardized across the industry.

Also, fragrances that are higher quality will last longer in the bottle and the finished product. Less expensive ones tend to fade or distort over time. Cheap scents can "turn" very quickly! I hope that is article gives a bit more insight into the reasons why fragrance oil prices may seem to very drastically from one supplier to another. All fragrances are not created equal and even if two fragrances have the same name it does not mean they are even close to the same fragrance.
