Despite the large size of the vehicle you’re maneuvering, don’t feel as if you’re already the king of the road. You still need to be considerate of the cars passing by you or traveling beside you to keep the traffic smooth-flowing. Don’t be in a rush and cut in front of cars and always be mindful of the blind spots.
One of the first questions every small business owner must consider is whether to operate as a sole-proprietorship or as a corporate entity. Operating as a sole-proprietor costs no money because you don’t have to pay to create legal documents and tax returns. Whether you should continue to operate as a sole-proprietor however depends on your business and personal risk tolerance. Experts recommend setting up a corporation because it gives you some legal protection. You’d be surprised at the liability you can engender when you set yourself up as a business owner. People may come at you with litigation or try to dun you for bills. If nothing else, it protects your personal credit rating.
A burglar alarm that is monitored by a central station, or that is tied directly to a local police station, will help lower the homeowner’s annual premiums, perhaps by 5% or more. Smoke alarms are another biggie. While standard in most modern houses, installing them in older homes can save the homeowner 10% or more in annual premiums. Of course, even more importantly, in case of fire, they could save your life!
Before beginning a long drive, always get enough sleep and eat something before you go. Highly caffeinated beverages are not necessarily the best way to stay awake while driving. While initially you will feel more alert, the effects can recede with time, and your attention may wander although you remain awake.
