If you are reading this article right now, there is a good chance you are looking for a part time home based business. There are several reasons why you may be looking to start a home based business and in this article I’m going to discuss the advantages of a home based business and how you can sort through the thousands of opportunities available and find the right one for you.The Advantages Of a Part Time Home Based BusinessFirst, let’s start by talking about why you are looking for a part time home based business and some of the advantages that go along with it. Statistics show that over the next 3 years, more than 79 million people will start a home based business. I know from experience that most of those people will still be working a full time job so they will most likely will not have a lot of extra time on their hands.One of the biggest advantages about a part time home based business is that it is quite possible to generate a full time income, without a full time effort. Not everyone who starts a HBB is doing it to quit their day job, or replace their income. A lot of the time they are just doing it to have some extra money to pay bills, go on vacation, drive nicer cars, etc… This is why a home business so attractive to most people. There is also another advantage for people who are looking to quit their jobs and replace their income…If you are looking to be able to quit your job, you most likely are sick of working long hours and never having any time to be with your family or to do the things you enjoy. With a part time home based business you have the ability to earn a hefty full time income, but without working the long hours and having the daily commute. This is ideal for someone who wants the financial and time freedom for themselves.How To Find The Right Part Time Home Based BusinessThis can be a little tricky. There are literately thousands upon thousand of opportunities out there so how can you possible know which ones are legit, and which ones are right for you? The biggest factor in finding the right one for you is going to come down to how much time you are actually willing to devote to your business, and how much income you are looking to make.There are many part time home based business opportunities that are low cost but require a lot of work. In this case, to actually make a nice profit will take some time. If you are just looking for some extra spending money and are in no hurry, this is the route you should go. On the other hand, if you are looking to quit your job and replace your income or need money faster, then it’s going to be worth investing in a business that provides you with an opportunity to still work part time, but make a lot more money in a shorter period of time. Basically, a business in a box.A typical home business will provide you with the basics, and you will have to do the work of building your business (marketing, generating leads, closing leads, etc…). A business in a box type of business is one that will not only provide you with a great income opportunity, but it also provide you with tools and training so you don’t have to worry about all the marketing, generating leads, and closing sales. While it is somewhat more expensive, the income opportunity is a lot greater and there is obviously less work involved.
The Evolution of Legal Process Outsourcing
Clacking typewriters, over worked owl-eyed stenos, mountains of briefs, and erratic juniors…the hallmarks of yester-year law firms. Enter the new millennium, and law firms were sleek, new age hubs of strenuous legal activity, ranging from tedious to investigative to groundbreaking. Gradually, as world economy harmonized as one, and the global business community started outsourcing its key, albeit repetitive processes to reduce costs, time, effort, and manpower, the legal world developed too.
Present day economics is governed by technological growth where advanced communication systems rule the roost. Information technology has shrunk time and distance to such an extent that geographical boundaries are mere contours instead of dividers. Following in the wake of the financial world, the legal firms across the globe realized that to adapt themselves to the constantly evolving, competitive, economic scenario, they would have to develop strategies that would balance not only their deadlines but also provide efficient support systems.
This brought about the evolution of Legal Process Outsourcing industry, where law firms obtained legal support services from key service providers, who were located halfway across the globe. Initially legal outsourcing involved low-end work like transcription. But soon the outsourcing pattern evolved to such specialized tasks as legal research, library services, pre-litigation document creation, consultation, application drafting, analysis, and so on. In the current scenario, approximately 80 per cent of companies, federal agencies, and leading law firms, opt for legal process outsourcing to reduce high operational costs and improve efficiencies. Offshore service providers are providing these key services:
Business Formation
Business and Corporate Law
Contracts
Copyright Services
Court Reporting Services
E-Filing Services
Environmental Law
Immigration Law
Intellectual Property Law
Labor and Employment Law
Legal Billing
Legal Claims Processing
Legal Coding
Legal Nurse Consulting
Legal Research
Legal Transcription
Litigation Support Services
Paralegal Services
Patent Services
Property Law
Trademark Services
Legal Process Outsourcing has emerged as a mainstream occupation for offshore attorneys, lawyers, and law firms. Common laws spread across the three continents have further boosted this industry. By outsourcing managerial, research, and support services, law firms are able to apply themselves solely to core legal matters. Moreover, offshore features like availability of English speaking lawyers, lower costs, round the clock services, faster pace of research and managerial tasks have proved advantageous to the global legal outsourcing community. In India, particularly, the formation of the LPO Trade Association has empowered the LPO industry. After years of practice, a number of LPO service providers are expanding their range of services, reinventing their strategies, and offering better bespoke legal solutions that are changing the face of legal processes worldwide.
Stay at Home Jobs and Home Based Businesses – Dream Come True or Nightmare?
Stay at home jobs and home based businesses have never had as much appeal as they have today. Chucking the nine-to-five grind to stay at home is a dream that appeals to most of us. Really, you think, what’s not to like about not having to dress up, fight traffic, and endure bosses who lean over your shoulder every minute of the day?It’s easy to think a stay at home job or a home based business would be a dream come true, and for many people it is. Realistically, though, a stay at home job is just like any other job–you have to actually to work. And statistics show that people who have stay at home jobs and home based businesses generally work more hours per day than their counterparts who work in conventional businesses.One problem that many people who work at stay at home jobs or who have home based businesses run into is what’s often referred to as “feast or famine syndrome.” They find their workflow is either too low or too high; in other words, they either have a lot to do or nothing. This makes it hard for people to budget their time and their money, and is especially hard for people just beginning stay at home jobs or home based businesses. It takes time to develop a steady base of clients for stay at home businesses, and even then there will be many times where everyone wants your product and/or service at the same time. This can be very stressful when there’s only one person, you, to do everything. So if you’re planning on starting a stay at home job or home based business, it’s good to have a plan in place to help you deal with what can often be a roller coaster workload.The feast or famine syndrome of a stay at home job or business leads to another difficulty. When you’re feasting, you’re making money–when you not feasting, you aren’t. It’s hard. One week you’re raking in the money, and the next week you’re barely squeaking by. This is where a stay at home job or home based business can, again, be more stressful than a conventional job where you’re paid on schedule and know exactly how much you’ll be bringing in every month. To deal with this, first of all, you need to have some money in the bank before leaving your regular job for a stay at home job or to start a home based business–or to focus on that stay at home job or home based business that you’ve been working at part-time. Experts recommend that you have enough money saved to cover six months of expenses before leaving your job for any reason. This is especially important for people who want to stay at home and work or to start a home based business because it can greatly reduce the stress that comes with feast or famine syndrome and give you some much needed breathing room.Too, people who have a stay at home job or home based business often run into payment problems. You’ve done your work or provided your service and product, but you don’t get paid. Collection can be a nightmare when this happens. And what many people don’t know when they become stay at home workers or owners of home based businesses is that people who hire you may classify you as an independent contractor and pay you as far out as 90 days. To make sure you don’t run into payment issues, always get everything in writing. It’s hard to wait 90 days to get paid, but it’s even harder not to get paid at all and perhaps have to turn to a collection agency in order to get your money. Because many stay at home jobs and home based businesses are Internet-based, you need to take special precautions to know you’re dealing with reputable businesses with a good track record of payment. So do your homework and get all payment terms in writing before providing any stay at home work or home based business product or service. The headaches and stress this will save you is immeasurable–and ensures you’re more likely to believe that your stay at home job or home based business really is your dream come true.Charles Fuchs
