A Simplified Staffing Business Model

Posted on by

In much the same way Amazon and eBay have helped many get their start in starting, developing and running an e-commerce business, this same help is now available in starting a staffing business.

There are now well over two million third-party sellers on Amazon. The infrastructure that is on Amazon and eBay is plug_ and_ play for all who try and claim their stake on these selling platforms.

With this in mind, the traditional route for those seeking an opportunity to start their own staffing business included the need for a large capital infusion, a payroll system, access to high-cost worker’s compensation insurance and many other costs that were prohibitive for most to enter the industry.

For many who do have the resources to enter the staffing industry, they often turn to high-cost franchise staffing companies who enjoy a large slice of earnings for the lifetime of the business. This relationship can grow strained over time and at some point the operator may feel they are contributing more to the franchise than the franchise is contributing to the operator. When this occurs, the separation from the business can grow messy and can even end in litigation.

The simplicity of both Amazon and eBay and their policies are a big draw for many who are looking to sell products online. There are no long-term agreements or costs that can easily cripple a new business. Being able to be flexible in a new venture is always a great asset and both these platforms allow for it.

This flexibility platform is now available in the world of staffing and has over 150 firms using this unique business model to grow impressive sized businesses with many reaching over a million in first-year billing. With over half a billion under management in less than 10 years in operation, one can see this is becoming a great alternative to going it alone or entering into a long-term agreement with a franchise.

What you get on the platform:

  • Worker’s compensation insurance with no liability to the operator.
  • An unlimited funding source for all payroll and client billing.
  • A complete back-office for all management and personnel needs.
  • Access to professionals with over 40 years of staffing experience.

With all the boxes checked, this platform can be summed up as the Amazon or eBay of the staffing industry. If mitigation of risk is high on your list for starting a sustainable, prosperous business there are few options that can match what is now available.

Toyota Prius Hybrid Battery Rebuild Review

Posted on by

Just like any other car battery, the Toyota Prius hybrid battery eventually runs out of juice and cannot be recharged. Sure, the adverts about how they recharge themselves when running are very compelling, but what happens when they die – as all car batteries do? This aspect of the Prius hybrid was not so well advertised!

This revolutionary hybrid car attracted the attention of many people, particularly those needing to be seen to be green. Just like anything new, unexpected problems can develop later, and with the Prius batteries this was their rechargeable lifetime.

The car is powered by a petrol engine and electric motor that interchange according to the demand. Without getting too technical, the Toyota Prius battery powers the motor in electric mode, and is being recharged when the car is running from the regular petrol engine. The car switches to petrol once the battery is exhausted, and reverts to electric mode when the battery is recharged.

Why Prius Batteries Fail

The reason for the Toyota Prius battery rebuild being needed is that the sealed nickel-metal hydride battery does not have an unlimited life – just as a normal car battery has to be replaced occasionally. It is not the power of the battery that starts to fail, but its ability to recharge, so a fully-charged battery becomes weaker with age.

You should see this in terms of your fuel consumption starting to rise as the petrol engine is forced to kick in more often. While a regular battery eventually dies when you continually overcharge it, Toyota Prius batteries lose their strength because it cannot be charged enough. Eventually, they will completely die out, and you have only two options: buy a new or rebuilt battery or rebuild it yourself.

Toyota Prius Battery Price

Toyota Prius battery replacements are priced at anything from $2,200 to $5,000 depending on where you are, what generation of Prius you are using and what your garage charges. This is a high price to pay for a replacement, but there is a much cheaper solution to your problem if you want to consider it: rebuild it.

You will find a fair bit of advice on the internet regarding this, but it can be very basic and not easy enough to understand to enable you to do it yourself – you only have to make one error and your battery will be ruined forever and you will be faced with an expensive replacement. There are also instructions available online in a commercial PDF eBook that explain to you how to rebuild generation I and II Prius batteries for under $350 – saving you up to $4,000 or more. The book also shows you how to replace your battery computer for $50!

In rebuilding your Toyota Prius hybrid battery using these instructions, you will find the most difficult part of the job is getting the battery out – man, that’s really heavy, although you should manage it fine with two of you. You also get free email help if you have a problem, but you shouldn’t need to use that.

Prius Hybrid Battery Rebuild Guide

This guide to a Toyota Prius Hybrid Battery Rebuild is more than just written instructions: it comes with photographs of the author’s last Prius battery rebuild, making it all look so simple. It also provides you with a list of genuine suppliers that can provide the parts you will need. The guide is very easy to understand, even for somebody like me that knew nothing about hybrid batteries until now.

You can save thousands of dollars using this guide and get your Toyota Prius back to running like a dream. There is another advantage: you also save on fuel, because in addition to saving on the price of a new Prius battery, you also resurrect your Prius fuel economy so save on the cost of the excess gas you would have had to buy.

Not only that, but don’t forget the income tax you might be able to reclaim for running a hybrid car. In the USA you can claim $2,000 from your gross income! So there you have three financial reasons for rebuilding a Toyota Prius battery that has permanently lost its charge.

If you are reasonably handy around the car or the house, then you can do this yourself. However, if tools confuse you, then you can likely get a friend or relative to do it for you, or even give your local mechanic a copy of the Prius Hybrid Battery Rebuild guide and pay him or her to do it for you – you still save thousands of dollars.

Advantages of Rebuilding Prius Hybrid Batteries

Not only that, but this eBook can help you make money with your new-found skill: there are lots of Prius hybrid batteries in the scrap yards or being sold cheap that you could recondition and sell for cash.

Most people will simply dispose of their expended batteries and buy new ones because they believe that to be their only option. You could set up a blog or website to ask for them and then sell them on eBay after fixing them – that’s making the most of your investment in this eBook on how to carry out a Toyota Prius Hybrid battery rebuild!

Wine Goblets in Literature

Posted on by

Ever sat in an English or world literature course and wonder, “Is this teacher or professor asking for the meaning of this word, object, or phrase and why?” The world of literature is vast and spans many cultures and languages. Within these cultures, the study and knowledge of literature signifies a well educated person.

Followers of English and world Literature are always searching for a way to find the meaning of words as metaphors, similes, or allusions. One of the items a reader may find in various literature is the wine goblet. Wine goblets represent royalty, luxury, precious metals, and great taste.

These drinking receptacles also symbolize drinking fine wine in a beautiful cup. The most recent use of the word goblet is in the book Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J. K Rowlings. In the fourth book release of J.K. Rowling’s popular book series, the Goblet of Fire represents a magical cup picking names of contestants for a school competition. Edgar Allen Poe, William Shakespeare, and Irving Washington use wine goblets as inspiration, props, or metaphors in their writings. For example, William Shakespeare incorporates the wine goblet in one of his Macbeth soliloquies. Macbeth’s purpose was to poison the wine and use it in a murder plot.

Wine goblets are used in ceremonies, celebrations, to seal business deals, to describe a beautiful woman, and as a prize possession for an individual or a monarch. Pablo Neruda wrote a poem that says, “Never has one goblet contained you.” Neruda is alluding to the best wine goblet filled with the finest of wines. In literature, it is all about how the reader interprets the meaning of the object.

In Christianity, the Holy Chalice (wine goblet) is the cup Jesus used at the last supper to serve wine to his disciples. In Wicca, the chalice is used to represent femininity, which leads to procreation. Their relevance in literature is embedded in history. Who would have ever thought a cup like the wine goblet would be highly represented in literature.
