Safe Moneymaking Paradigm From Years:

From years, we can see people going to jobs they don’t like. Many of them, every morning reach to office/factory/work place, spend 9/10/12/14 hours there on some task, like writing something into papers/working on same machine/ similar things. And this is picture for 20-25 even more years of their lives.

These people spend almost half of their lives, during very productive age, at the place which they don’t deserve/want to be. And most of time they are underpaid or paid just enough to afford OKAY lifestyle and LIFE.

Trading Your Time & Active Income:

Moneymaking is, most of times and for most of people, trading for time. For example, a worker trades his 8 hours for daily wages or call center people are paid on per hour basis or software professionals are supposed to work at least for 40 hours in office to get paid.

I am not saying that getting paid by time trading is bad idea, but your income stops as soon as you stop trading the time. That is why this kind of income is called as Active Income. You get paid as long as you are Active at your workplace.

Passive Income:

When you ask yourself  question, how to make more money, you better focus on generating some Passive Income assets. These will be the assets bringing in money for you, even when you are asleep.

Passive Income sources are somewhat automated income sources which brings in money for you without eating up a lot of your time. These passive income sources ask for onetime Time investment or small size chunk time investments.

Unlike Onetime Time Investment, chuck time investment sources need little more to design an automated system! Automation is mechanical engineering term in which a system can work completely by itself without human intervention. What it needs is simply, some maintenance and supervision to check if everything is going well n fine. Properly planned and executed passive income sources can reach to automation mode.

Passive income gives you some security. If eventually, it becomes too large then you can quit your day job and focus on your personal skills, refine them. Due to refined skills you can charge more on per hour basis and this can improve your Active Income too. Job satisfaction, monetary sound feeling, sense of abundance are added benefits!

This post is an excerpt from Anthony Fasano’s new book Engineer Your Own Success: 7 Key Elements to Creating an Extraordinary Engineering Career. Anthony is a design engineer turned executive coach, speaker and author and now spends his time helping engineers around the world to create careers that are exciting, enjoyable, and rewarding while being well-balanced. In this post Anthony will discuss the impact that effective public speaking skills can have on your engineering career.

If you were to choose only one thing to do to improve your communication skills and your engineering career overall, I would recommend developing your public speaking skills. Many engineering professionals, especially those early in their career, don’t realize how important it is to be a good public speaker. In fact, some engineers are terrified of public speaking because of their introverted personality. Fortunately, the ability to be a good public speaker is not one of those “You either have it or you don’t” skills. It is something that you can learn and develop over time.

As an engineering professional, your ability to present to people, whether it be to 2 or 2000 people, can make or break your career. Once I realized that I had a powerful message about career advancement that I wanted to communicate to professionals, I decided that I was going to learn how to speak effectively so I could get my message out to the world.

To develop my speaking skills, I joined Toastmasters International, a non-profit educational organization that operates chapters around the world for the purpose of helping members improve their communication, public speaking and leadership skills. Groups like Toastmasters help you to not only develop your speaking skills, but also to increase your confidence and ultimately help you become a great communicator. You will learn how to speak spontaneously and also have the opportunity to prepare and present longer speeches with specific goals and objectives. These organizations provide a comfortable, supportive atmosphere for you to practice your public speaking. Odds are that every person in your local chapter was just as fearful, if not more, of public speaking at some point in their life as you may have been.

Having great public speaking skills is an absolute MUST in order to have an extraordinary career! In addition to improving your communication skills, public speaking will help you to bring new business into your firm. Prospective clients may see you presenting a project at a local board meeting, and the next thing you know they are calling you to take over their project. Your company may be impressed enough with your presentation skills that they may ask you to accompany a marketing professional in meetings with prospective clients. The list of benefits is endless.

These skills will also prepare you for being a manager, if you are not one already. Managers have to be able to clearly communicate messages to their team and your employer may take that into account when considering you for a promotion.

If you are reading this and are terrified of public speaking, I have great news for you. With some hard work, determination, and practice, you can become a great public speaker. Believe me, becoming an effective communicator and public speaker could very well be the ultimate differentiator between hoping that all of your career goals and dreams come true and actually ACHIEVEING THEM!

Today, getting education has become quite an expensive task. Even the brightest of students find is tough to pay for their education-related expenses. This is where loans come in handy. But getting one is not that easy — financial institutions ask for a lot of formalities. So it helps to have a first hand info on what it is like to get an education loan. This will help to get the loan with less trouble.

Finding Easy Students Loans

These days, almost all students are on the hunt for the best options in continuing education loans. Given the fact that the world is still recovering from the recent recession, cash is something hard to get. So the right thing to do is to contact a company that can offer decent credit. You must ensure the absence of hidden costs; these can give problems later on when you are paying interest.

Check the Terms and Conditions

Of course the eligibility criteria for these education loans may vary significantly, keep in mind that there are a few criterion that are applicable across the board. Some lenders deem that you ought to be a private student. Also, even for small loans, some lenders are quite adamant that you are a US citizen and possess a creditworthy account. The bulk of these loans will be granted if you so have a cosigner who is a US citizen as well. Some lenders may also ask you to furnish the credit history and your employment details. While these standard procedures may seem rather severe, this will save you from lot of trouble later on.

Know the Rates and Fees of the Loan

There will be a fee for the application you make. And for you to get your loan, you will be asked to pay an origination fee. Also, the fee will depend on your credit worthiness. Some lenders might also impose a charge for reimbursement, which is again based on your credit worthiness.

You should also know the repayment terms.

Then again there are a few lenders that let you to pay the interest alone. Of course this could save you thousands of dollars afterward. Last but not least, see that you figure out the level of federal financial aid you have – that you have utilized all your free-money options, before you look for trouble-free student loans.

Hello Friends,

Today, I am going to give you a strategy to succeed in any exam around. You may be thinking that this is EngiBlogger- Engineering Blog, so nothing to do with non engineering people. Please wait. What I am going to discuss is not engineering exams but a thinking process that I learnt from marvels around and felt astounding. So, stick with me here.

Few days back, I was watching a Steve Jobs video on youtube. (I guess everybody knows Steve Jobs! For them who don’t know him, Steve Jobs is founder of great company like Apple, he is developer of Macintosh operating system and he is behind the great 3d Animation Studio PIXAR. Now please don’t tell me that you don’t know Apple, Macintosh and PIXAR!). In that video Steve told some of his life experiences. For me most important was one strategy he discussed. Definitely, it was’t how to make marks in exam.

Steve tells one story about death and also how close he was once. From that event Steve recognized one pattern.  Every morning he wakes up and asks a question, “What will I do if this is my last day on earth?” Whatever is the answer, that is most valuable thing to perform!

I figured out that this is a RULE. And RULES are timeless and remains unchanged in any situation or field. So, in context of exams, how can we apply this strategy?

Got the Answer! OR rather I must say Got that Question? Yep. When you are preparing for any exam, just ask yourself, What will I study if this is last day remained for my preparation? OR What will I study if tomorrow is exam day?

The answer you get by asking the question is definitely most important part to study. Now, you have to perform, means, really learn that part as if tomorrow is Armageddon (Exam!). Because,  mere this question is not enough! Next step is MOST important.

PERFORM!

There is reason behind the highlighting second step perform. Almost everyone knows what he/she should do? But they don’t. They just caught up and procrastinate. Its true, everybody procrastinates, I am sure I do. Just knowing how to solve problem is not enough. Action is of a lot importance. Otherwise somebody who don’t know what to do is better than else, who knows but don’t perform!

So, got the complete picture. Now, go wild, Win the Battle. And after battle, think of sharing this article or leave comment below!

Thanks for Reading!

Kiran P. Pagar.
