There are certain money myths, which stop us from becoming successful. Here, we have discussed the 3 most major ones among those money myths. Myth 1: You must have heard many people saying to earn money, you need to have money. Often people also use this myth as an excuse for justifying their unsuccessful career.

In today's day and time, micro financing might just be the way to go for most businesses since getting a loan might be a trickier proposition than ever. Car, houses, and personal expenses are no longer being funded by banks as easily as they once were, but that's not the point of this article. The point is that small and even medium sized businesses are finding it increasingly difficult to secure credit as credit lines tighten. All of this is perhaps a part of austerity measures being undertaken by banks, but what when a business needs a cash injection to get themselves some much much needed piece of machinery or raw materials? That's where micro financing comes into its own. Don't get me wrong, banks might still give them the necessary funding, but others might want to consider micro financing [...]

Twitter. It's a two syllable word that's more than just a two bit word in the world of all things tech. So when Joe Fernandez moved into the same building as one of the most famous of internet start-ups, the internet entrepreneur was doing so while keeping a very simple objective in mind; he believed that he would tap into Twitter's mojo. By being in and around the executive of one of the most happening of internet start-ups, Fernandez was hoping to tap into some of the magic that Twitter used to make it so big in such a short time. Undoubtedly, Twitter is one of the hottest companies today, and the office at 795 Folsom comes at a price. But it is one Fernandez is willing to pay since the internet entrepreneur knows he needs to keep a little extra up the sleeve if is to excel in the cut-throat, [...]

Statistically speaking, air travel these days is much safer than any other form of transport on a pure accident and mortality rate per load of passengers basis. It's arguably (I'd say most definitely) safer than it has ever been. If you factor in the sheer number of passengers that now pass through airport turnstiles (I know they're not really turnstiles, humor me) and the distance that they travel, air travel is actually twice as safe as it was at a similar point in time ten years ago. But cold, hard numbers do not really serve to reassure the jittery hearts of travelers that still take to air travel with a sense of trepidation. No mater how brave you are, if you have traveled by air at some point, the odd noise coming from the engine or the shudder and groan of the monocoque as it takes off [...]

With the Western Economy having suffered a setback due to the recent economic recession, the focus of business persons has shifted to Asian countries for better economical prospects. While China and Japan are almost at the focal point, India, a fast developing country is not left behind. It is being considered as a new-age land of opportunity in the global economic circles. The country with over 1 billion people was not actually included in the list of major economies of the world. Economically, India was like an island that was cut off from the rest of the world. The changes in the world economy hardly affected India and vice versa till a decade ago. But now, in the last 4 to 5 years, there was rapid improvement in foreign investments in the country which had risen from $100 million in 1991 [...]

Business mergers are so much like weddings! Some of them are so successful that they become the talk of the town. America has seen some of the greatest business mergers worth talking about. Just like successfully wed couples, these merged companies are exemplary in setting new trends in doing business. A merger, like a wedding, is not a simple exchange of vows (agreement contracts). A lot of intellectual and materialistic transactions take place and that is a flippant affair by no means.  Let’s see some of the best mergers that have happened in America and why we consider them the best. AOL And Time Warner- The Tragedy Not all weddings are success stories and so is true with all mergers too. It’s painful to see that some great weddings end in tragedy and so do some mergers.
