B12K Stories : Make More Money From Your Company


You are surely blind if you haven’t been able to notice that the economy is doing a little bit better since few months now :)  , new start-ups are lunched here and there , and all with a one and unique goal , make a lot of profit.

And of course, once it starts gathering the fruits of its labor, the company looks forward to invest its money in things that will make it gain more and more money , this is one of the main principles of the  modern economy , the one which I can summarize in : invest more to get more.

And as you may probably know a company can’t make more profit if it relies on the same staff that  it started with the first day , it needs to recruit more employees  “ through direct hiring , Staff Leasing ….”  , and in case this is not managed professionally, hiring people arbitrarily can lead to a lack of productivity , which means that the company will face a lot of trouble and start losing money instead of making it.

This is why wise and smart companies once they want to enlarge their staff , they contact PEO Companies to assist them and help them make the right choice, and to all of you who do not know what’s the signification of  PEO, it means “professional employer organization” which is a company specialized in helping other companies do the difficult tasks such as hiring people , outsourcing…

All this to tell you what ??  to tell you that if your company  starts making money , and you are looking forward to make it bigger, maybe contacting such professional companies would be the wisest choice to do , a choice that can make you save a lot of time and money .

B12K : Let’s Invent


The united states of America has always been a country of inventions and innovations , a place where eager enthusiasts spend days and nights to achieve their dreams and come up with new things , that will revolutionize the economy not only in the united states, but all around the world .

But generally those people ignore the fact that if they do not trademark their inventions, big companies can easily steel their ideas and make all those hours of hard working and devotion , a spent of time .

This has happened a lot of times , and has allowed big companies to become bigger and make millions of dollars of benefit ,while it let the poor inventor stay poor in the bottom of his attic, wondering how he’s going to pay the electricity bill, this is simply unfair , but who can bother the giant , no one .

But now things are getting a lot easy , especially if you take into consideration the fact that legal documents can be downloaded easily from the net, and this on websites allowed to issue  legal forms online, which makes this difficult task a child’s game.

I personally think that this is exactly the kind of initiatives that we need, an initiative that will let inventors work in serenity , without having to wonder about their work if it’s going to be stolen one day , a thing that for sure will give them more energy to go ahead and discover new things  .

B12K : The Most Expensive City To Live In

Surely you have been able to notice that the cost of living is getting higher than ever before, also you have probably noticed that while some developed countries like the united states, France or the U.K are swimming in a sea of troubles facing the economic crisis and it’s repercussions on its markets, some other countries such as Japan, china , brazil or Russia are emerging from strictly nothing .
And maybe the best way to be aware of how powerful the economy of a country is to go and spend few days in its cities, which allows you to see the difference and make a comparison of the living standards .

A recent survey has shown that the city that has the highest cost of living , is Tokyo followed by Osaka, which is not a very surprising thing , of we take into consideration how Japan has changed during the two previous decades .Moscow which had been ranked last year as the most expensive city to live in ,has dropped now to the third place, but remains a very expensive city to live in .
But maybe the city that has really been affected by the economic crisis , and that has seen its ranking drop severely is London, indeed it has dropped from the third place to the 16th, a situation that will for sure encourage many people to go and visit it, as long as it’s cheap and affordable .


But as it’s interesting to know what’s the most expensive cities to live in , it’s also good to know which cities are the least expensive , the answer is Johannesburg in south Africa , but everyone is expecting Johannesburg to change its ranking next year as south Africa is going to organize the 2010 football World Cup.
