Travel Venture International, TVI Express, is a global travel internet company backed by a prestigious UK financial group.

TVI uses word-of-mouth advertising through their members and reward them with commissions and free travel.

The company currently has 350,000+ members in 160 countries around the world and growing very rapidly. Because TVI is growing so fast

they are experiencing some normal growing pains that any company would go through and handling them quickly and effectively.

TVI Express members join for just $250 USD. most teams charge $275 ($250+$25 bank wire fee to wire funds to TVI)

For $250.00 Each member gets:
1. TVI Express mirror website to market and book travel
2. 6night/7day hotel voucher good anywhere in the world
3. 24/7 access to the TVI website backroom to manage your business
4 In some case TVI pays for the return flight for your fist vacation.

Have heard of a matrix system before? You wouldn’t have seen one like this! The unique feature of TVI’s matrix/compensation plan is it’s based on only sponsoring two people. Yes you can sponsor more if you like but only two is required to qualify for commissions. Think about this; that’s helping two people save money and get great deals on travel and tourism…How difficult is that?

One person never sits at the top taking all the commissions, the matrix continuously splits as more people join so it becomes about team work to help the people under you to move up so you do too! When you reach to top you collect $500 ($250 cash+$250 evoucher) then you move off the traveler board and graduate to the Express board (identical to the Traveler board) for the opportunity to make $10,000+$5000 travel voucher. The beautiful thing about the Express board is you can not graduate until you help your two personally sponsored members graduate the $500 Traveler board, this means everyone needs to be a team player. most people are cycling through these boards every 30-45 days and collecting $10,000 cash over and over again; just for helping others do the same.

The video link at the end of this article easily explains how the TVI matrix and compensation plan works.

TVI really excels above other network marketing and mlm companies because they don’t have any “monthly dues” or “auto shipments” to make members to qualify for commissions and you don’t have to recruit the world either, just two people. Plus TVI gives .72 cents of every dollar back to the members. They can do this because there’s no product to manufacture, warehouse or distribute. Everything is booked online.
This make TVI very streamline, easy and fun to share with others.

My wife and I are looking forward to using our 6night/7day hotel voucher in beautiful Las Vegas and all we have to pay for is the hotel tax.. Let’s be honest, you couldn’t stay at a local hotel for a weekend for $250 bucks let alone a LV hotel for a week.

If you would like to become a successful TVI member on a team that will really support you and help you make the money I’m talking about or just get more information you can call me or contact me via my website or video link.

To your success!

Business plans continue to be an essential element of the capital-raising process. They must convince investors to take notice – investors that are shrewder today due to the ups-and-downs they have experienced over the past few years.

Adding to the financing challenge is the plethora of high-quality companies, both public and private, in which investors can choose to invest. In this environment, more and more investors are asking companies seeking capital the question “Why You, Why Now”?

The question seems simple at first, but has many complexities. The management team must clearly delineate what it is about the business opportunity that makes it such a good investment now. Should this investment have been made a year ago to cement a market leadership position? Or, is the venture before its time – will slow market adoption cause slow sales over the next few years, and as such, should the investment wait. Questions like these, based on investment failures from the past few years, continue to surface and must be addressed by the management team in their business plans.

Likewise the team must address what it is that makes them uniquely qualified to succeed. Does the team have proprietary (and protectable) technology, management talent and experience that competitors do not, long-term strategic partners? According to Growthink president, Dave Lavinsky, “Management teams must prove to investors why they are unique and why they will succeed. They can’t just state how wonderful they are – they need to prove it through detailing past successes and unique qualifications.”

A business plan that fails to address the “Why You, Why Now” question, is most likely a business plan that will remain in the stack of “not now” business plans. Business plans must present a compelling argument as to why the investor should invest and in our fast-paced world with unbelievable opportunities and opportunity costs, why investors should invest now.

Work Your Home Based Business Idea in Three Easy Steps

Create a Business Plan first
The primary necessity is to get a perfectly designed plan of action for a genuine business. A business plan on its own is useless. It is a mere reflection, but it will not suffice you also need an action plan. A business scheme is the first step in working out your idea into actions that you can follow. Well-illustrated business plans can be found online or at your library.

Begin now

  • Do not be afraid of failure. Remember failure is the first stepping stone to success, if this home based business idea does not work out for you now do not let this deter you. Always remind yourself of the spider when you feel like losing hope.
  • Do not let that wonderful home-based business idea gather dust. Start today.
  • Waiting for the right time to start your business might make success elude you forever. If there is any specific right time, it is right now. Do not waste your precious time.

Put a figure on it

This is the greatest stumbling block for most home-based business owners. That is, they fail to evaluate their work. If you do not give proper attention to this, you may have to wrap up your business. You need to know that real figures and numbers are needed for you to stay in business. If this is not your agenda of work, you are probably going all wrong.

Large businesses usually set up balanced scorecards. The idea is to have a referring point to compare how successful your work is. For example, to get five customers in one month you could settle on free seminars but if you see that your plan is not getting you five clients, you need to reassess your plan. Change of plan prevents waste of energy and resources.

Many people would like to open a home business, but are afraid. Some are afraid that it will be too costly to start, and then not the position to borrow from the bank. Others may not know where to begin.

You will not require as much capital in order to get a home business started as you may think. Because you have decided to operate a business out of your home, you have eliminated a large portion of the cost of operating a business. You will have no additional rental or utility fees. If you are selling a product, you will also not need to keep as much on hand as you would in a store.

In order to achieve a successful home business, you must have own rules regarding your work area. This absolutely must not be an area of the home where the family frequently gathers. You will need an area which allows you to work without interruptions. Without a dedicated workspace, your home business will likely suffer.

Keeping organized an accurate financial records is an extremely important part of any home business. If you do not, you will waste of great deal of time searching for documents and recalculating figures. As the saying goes “Time is money”.

Each town or city and state has some of its own unique laws and guidelines pertaining to the operation of a home business. You will want to know and understand these laws in order to ensure that you are in compliance. Otherwise, you may find that you have wasted a great deal of time and money on a home based business which is not legal, and must now be closed. Also, do not forget to obtain a tax ID number. This will make it possible for you to legally charged the taxes that you will be responsible for.

It is not difficult or complicated to open a business bank account, it is however necessary. You will need to open a business checking account either in your business name or your name doing business as your business name. All financial transactions regarding your business will take place within this account. This will allow you to know exactly what money has gone out or come in on a regular basis. It will also keep your business finances separate from your personal finances, which is absolutely necessary.

Remember, ” Rome was not built in a day”. Creating a home business which is successful, and generate steady income, will take some time. No business truly takes off overnight. Continue working towards regular improvement. Always be sure that your product or service is available and in good working order. Without this, there is no business…

Operating a home business involves hard work and commitment. If you want your home business to be successful, you must be responsible and determined. If you are able to persevere, you may be able to generate a full-time weekly income, or possibly much more.

WORK AREA SAFETY IN INDUSTRIAL PLANTS

To make your work area safe you must know what hazards you can expect to encounter and what to do to control and eliminate them. The information contained here explains the importance of working safely and methods for controlling safety in your work area.

Here we briefly describe many of the hazards frequently encountered in plants like Built-in hazards, Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical and Environmental hazards.

BUILT- IN HAZARDS: Certain features of plant layout and design like location of equipments, stairs, entrance and exits, the layout of floors, platforms, lighting arrangements, heating and ventilation systems are already exist i.e. built-in that you cannot change. These can cause accidents and the best you can do is to recognize and avoid them.

MECHANICAL HAZARDS: In various cases of accidents chances of moving parts of machinery or tools are involved. A worker has to take special care to keep his clothes, body and tools away from moving machinery. When a machine has to be shut down for repairs the machine electrical controls must be locked and warning signs must be posted on the panel like “Danger. Do not start, personnel working”.

Working on pipe lines, tubing system will produce exposures to heat and pressure, avoid accident by isolate the system and cool down and de-pressurize it. 

Many plants have hand trucks, forklifts etc for moving material within the designated aisles, if a work is to be done near or traffic paths protect yourself and others by placing signs and barricades to warn traffic or else the result could be serious injury if your ladder is struck by passing vehicle. Do not place the tools and material in such a way that they are not a hazard to traffic by falling in the aisle.

Temporary scaffoldings, platforms are erected while working at heights, on buildings walls, roof and ceilings. These items should have railing and guards to keep workers, tools and materials from sliding and falling off the edge. Place signs below the scaffold to warn the passerby of the falling objects. Make sure a worker is attentive and cautious while working at height, as a slip could have been fatal. Ladders in use for working at height must be secured from both top and bottom and should be at safe angle, steps of ladders should be clear of tools, grease etc. Hanging scaffolding are secured by rope rigging from top and the platform should be level because if the rope at one end breaks or loose the platform can swing down to vertical position rapidly dumping off workers and material. Safety belts and harness should be use to secure yourself while working on heights and roofs.

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS: occasionally worker is required to work in hot conditions near boiler or heaters though such are normally insulated but generally there is some heat in the area. Place an air blower to supply cool air & expel the hot air. Prolong exposure in high temperature work areas can cause heat cramp and heat exhaustion. Severe and rapid stomach or muscle cramps are due to excessive loss of body moisture and salt. Dizziness, weak pulse, lower than normal body temperature, heavy sweating are the signs of Heat exhaustion. Taking Salt tablets and Drink water in moderate amounts are routine preventive measures for both heat cramps and exhaustion.

When working in enclosed areas, follow recommended safety measures. A person should be kept standby at the entrance, wear a safety harness and a lifeline so if you are overcome you can be pulled out. Enclosed space should be vented by air blower of toxic or inflammable fumes. Oxygen content in that space to be checked before entering. Do not wear nylon clothing and use non-sparking tool in an enclosed space to prevent sparking which can cause explosion in case working in a fuel tank. An explosion proof hand lamp should be used in such spaces.

Radiation from X-rays and radioactive material can cause severe damage to the human body. Wear special protective clothing to reduce exposure to the radiation. Radiation area should be clearly marked with radiation signs.

CHEMICAL HAZARDS: This is one of the most treacherous hazard, where chemicals are concerned one should know the properties and hazard of particular chemical involved. Read material safety data provided with it before handling. Wear protective clothes, gloves, fresh air mask and goggles or face shield. Make sure the chemical not to be splashed or spilled.

ELECTRICAL HAZARDS: Almost every job you perform will include exposure to electricity and its dangers. Avoid touching energized or hot wire. Always use equipment & tools, which are grounded and insulated. Do not use frayed, damaged or spliced chords. Avoid moist clothes, shoes, tools and hands. Metal objects and water is good conductor of electricity. Insulate nearby metal objects. Avoid wet surfaces and place insulating mats while working on panels.

Making Safety Work in an Industrial plant

In recent years thousands of industrial workers were killed and millions were temporarily or permanently disabled by work related accidents. Since it is a serious problem laws were enacted which requires a safe work place be provided for employees.

For nearly every accident the cause are unsafe condition or unsafe act, caused by either neglect or carelessness. Unsafe acts frequently take place due to lack of safety knowledge and are usually the result of using a tool incorrectly or using a wrong tool, failure to use proper protective equipment and guards. It is the duty of employee to do the job safely, must exercise caution, follow safety rules, avoid dangerous and risky work habits that can result in accident and injury. An accident could cause an employee lose time, pay, job and life.

A positive attitude should be developed by employer and as well as employee towards safety in doing everything. Develop safety habits; acquire knowledge and skills to protect yourself and others. To do this one must be aware of industrial accidents, hazards and injuries that are possible.

Firstly, about accidents they do not happen, they are caused by people doing something they should not do, or failing to do something they should do. The sharp edge of a saw cannot cause an injury until someone comes in contact with it. A hammer with a loose head or a cracked handle is unsafe. Any worker who uses the hammer in spite of this is committing an unsafe act, exposing him and possibly others to injury. Learning R A P can reduce number of accidents.

RECOGNISE potential accidents causes, doing something to AVOID exposure to accidents and doing your part to PREVENT it.

Secondly hazards, they are risks, dangers and peril that contribute to accidents. The potential hazards of fire and explosion are serious especially where flammable and highly volatile materials are used. The items require a fire to take place are 3, hence named FIRE TRIANGLE namely Oxygen, fuel or combustible material and source of heat (ignition/temperature). The key to fire prevention is to keep these three apart. Keep all combustible material like oil, paper, wood, greases, and chemicals, paints isolated from source of heat.

Thirdly injuries, some are caused by handling material in which the handler is the cause, not the material. Trying to lift too much and carry it too far or carrying something too large can cause strains, sprains and more serious injury.

Most of the tools in use have sharp points and edges, electrically operated moving parts, fluids under pressure and heat. Train yourself to recognize the potential hazards these can cause and to use them safely and correctly. Moving parts of machinery like exposed shafts, gears, belts, chain drives, flywheels, rollers and hydraulic press to name a few are also hazards. By putting guards and covers over them and using personal protective equipments help avoid accidents. Shut off electrical power or release pressure and heat in that part of machine before you start working on it.

Surfaces like floors, stairs, bench, ladders should be clear of oil, grease and liquid to avoid slips and falls while working and walking on them. Clear all loose hoses and chords in the way of work.

Inhalation of certain chemicals and gases can serious internal injury and illness. Face masks filters; portable air supply units and protective clothing reduce the exposure to poisonous and toxic materials.

The points mentioned here explain the importance of working at a plant with a greater degree of safety.
