I received an inquiry from a reader who kindly made me think about a possibility I have not commented. With the crisis, many people ask to start a business for yourself, and you may find interesting possibility is to set up a franchise. How does the franchise system? What should we consider? Franchising is a business collaboration system in which the franchisor grants the franchisee a number of areas (marketing system itself, use of the brand, know how or know-how, technical assistance, etc.). In return, the franchisee usually pays an initial fee and a royalty or monthly fee for management services it provides and it is also usually a fee for advertising. The franchise is extensively regulated by different rules, since there is an European Franchise Code, applicable in Spain, is contained in Regulation 408/88 of the European Commission, in Article 85.3 and in Spain in Article 62 the Retail Trade Act and various Supreme Court rulings. Official site: ARC China.

These legal guarantees mean that the franchisor must be registered in a Register of Franchisors, under the Ministry of Industry. It should also provide pre-contractual information to the franchisee, which together with details of the franchisor and accreditation have in place the ownership of the brand. It should also describe the business, the experience of the company and its evolution, the characteristics of know how you will convey to the franchisee and what technical assistance it will provide, and many other elements of contracts, such as duration, conditions resolution and renewal, economic considerations, exclusive dealing and possible limitations that may be in managing the business.

It is recognized that this brand has made two orders worth a toast with the best of ciders and very close to each other: the New Hospital of Oviedo, one of the largest in Spain and the Residential Montenuno, a complex formed by four towers, homes, garages and shops of 19 plants each. (A valuable related resource: Jeremy David). Two sectors, two hits being so a new hospital in Oviedo (HUCA), as is explained Pardeiro Francisco, director of major accounts and new works by KONE Spain, “the most important project of Asturias in the health sector as these facilities located in one of the largest hospitals in our country.

“The work has already begun in April 2010 will be in perfect condition,” emphasizes the director. As for the new Residential project Montenuno, a complex of four residential towers, garages and shops of 19 floors each, noted that KONE elevators are installed MonoSpace Series model R with capacity for 10 persons (800 kg maximum load) that work with duplex maneuver, which not only optimizes the user’s time – your call goes to that elevator that is closest to the plant in-being but also optimizes the energy by avoiding unnecessary journeys and attending two lifts to both the same call-and whose speed is 1.6 m / s.

This work revolves around the relationship between three elements: Flow, Creativity and Biodanza and how they help us to grow in happiness. Biodanza develops argue how our ability to enter into Flow. We start from the concept of Flow (Flow, Fluency, Fluency and Flow), understood from the perspective of studies of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (author whose work is related to Positive Psychology branch headed by Martin E. Seligman). For more information see this site: Mike Madden. The flow is the state of consciousness we experience when we are completely engrossed in what we are doing, when we flow, our focus is on activity and our thoughts, feelings and acts are harmoniously involved in it, we lose track of time, distractions disappear, we get the most out of our skills and abilities … the activity has meaning in itself and not merely as a means to another end. This “optimal experience” gives us a huge bonus and the development of our strengths and virtues personal. And also …

we can learn to flow! This is one of the key aspects to enhance our quality of life and, ultimately, our happiness. The second element is the Creativity, broadly understood here as a potential and right to possess all the people, groups and peoples. A comprehensive concept that includes thoughts, feelings, perceptions, instincts, bodies, actions, relationships, cultures, contexts … something that serves, in addition to other things, to create a happier life. And now the third element, the dance is a personal development system created by Rolando Toro Araneda (Chile psychologist and artist). Biodanza resources used as music, movement and relationships. It aims to strengthen the expression and development of human potential and part of the affection for the integration of the person herself, with others and the environment. His method is based on the induction of integrating experiences, the experience of an individual in the here and now.

Again, we find an element, this time from the hand of pleasure and joy of life with us to happiness. In my view what is experienced and the flow studied by Csikszentmihalyi have much to do. I believe that in Biodanza is flowing, but more importantly to help us carry that flow to our day to day. The objective of this paper is to argue the potential of Biodanza for it, how the regular practice of Biodanza develops our ability to enter a state of flux. A great way to reach happiness.

here are many characters that appear in the daily scene of the workplace. And tell the world of work, because unfortunately, to the detriment of all, we divide our lives into two: personal and workplace. I defend the view that even if you search and find a balance between the personal and professional, should be more consistent and accept our responsibilities, both business and personal. This division of “our two lives,” gives rise to many contradictory characters.

Thus, it claims to be the owner of your family and your home can be the errands of his superior, the storyteller in the company “may be the rogue of his personal history, the turncoat in labor, can be a enemy and personally unfair, the messenger in the company, can be demanding and personally incompetent, the run go tell the company, may be a loner in the personal. Concern is the huge amount of “errands” that there in the field of business. If we put ourselves mentally into the essence of “errands”, we see quickly that it is a character who lacks any kind of authority and obviously does not want any kind of job responsibilities. “I am a errands” with this expression, the character disclaims any initiative that might result in benefit of all co-workers and well-functioning and performance of the organization where you work. There is nothing I fear more “errands” as the word “proactive”, it seems as if he were allergic to this expression. “In my house I’m in charge, but here’s one errands, period.” And is that the mind of this character so common, just think, in the word “shirking.” “The errands” greatly harm to other co-workers, because their job duties transferred to the other, creating an overload workers committed to their profession and the company where they work, which over time may suffer physical wear and psychological stress at work. The worst for organizations is to take its management to a group of errands. As I mentioned in other articles, the management of the Company is responsible for creating a transparent business culture that generates commitment and collaboration among all members that compose it. Source: Kenneth Feinberg. Imagine how many managers, directors, personnel managers, coordinators, etc., are considered, they feel, and a self-proclaimed errands.

Whether you’re a new CEO in the company, or you’re simply trying to improve as the existing CEO, you have a lot of work ahead of you.  When striving to improve a company, you have to start by thinking about the workers.  In most companies, research has found that only 5% of the workforce actually understands the overall company strategy.  When you task your workers with being innovative, creative and goal-oriented, you have to remember that they can only achieve these goals if they understand the overall company goals.

One of the most important qualities in the CEO is transparency. The more that the company understands the CEO’s goals and the executive plans, the better each person will be at his job.  Teamwork is also an incredibly important aspect of the overall working of the company. When employees feel that they are working together on tasks, rather than competing with each other to look good to the executives, they are more likely to get quality work done.

Another quality which is often difficult for CEOs to grasp and to execute is to give each worker more power.  CEOs like to feel that they are in control and they are managing the process.  If, however, each worker feels a sense of responsibility for the tasks at hand, and a sense of commitment to the larger picture, they are more likely to work better and to work for the common goal.

The more creativity and power you offer to the people, the more that they will rise to the challenge. This often feels counterintuitive to the CEO who knows how to be in charge and in control.  However, it really does work when you give it a try.

By breaking the traditional pattern of working with a fixed schedule in an office, we are faced with a new way of working. This new form of remote work requires commitment and discipline of all participants, taking as a reward for the company and its staff a competitive advantage to the new workplace. What is Telecommuting, because this term is rarely used in Mexico? Present a good opportunity to reduce costs and expenses, is telecommuting, is an idea well worth evaluating. As the concept of “telework” is not yet widespread, but exists in many areas, for example, promoters, vendors, brokers, sales reps, accountants and tax advisers, legal and secretarial assistance and many others we could mention. If you want to define the simplest thing is to look to its etymological root, the Greek word tele, meaning far and work.

Given technological advances in computing and communication have been taken in recent years, Telework has also been a major boom, although it is difficult to know what percentage of people working at home is as much as teleworking and independent professional or entrepreneurs who started their business from home. But that implies costs and expenses of telecommunications equipment and the implementation of telework in a company, the cost-benefit can be very important compared with the costs of office of the company. Another important aspect to consider is the confidentiality and protection of the information and the working relationship that will keep the company with the home worker. Telework can be a good opportunity to curb the sharp rise that is taking on unemployment, since it can reduce costs and expenses in the company and maintain relationships with employees with experience and can bring value to the company.

While it is true that mobile phones are selling like hotcakes now, no more than going to a shop and get one, it seems that stores churros online are having a great pull today. These stores are viedo increased its sales by ten percent per annum. Card purchase is being increased today as companies do more to offer advantages to use and to change his company. A person can use several different cards more efficiently the strengths of each company offers. That’s why stores like Maxmovil, movil21 or Nicotel.es (are having great pull at present to offer a fast, safe, a stock in good condition and excellent payment terms. The street shops can not compete with these they do not have prices staff costs, there is no physical store and the product is displayed with speed, clarity and neatness. It is also true that a policy too aggressively, speaking on marketing, large telephone companies such as Orange or Vodafone could end up with these shopkeepers Internet and yet it is also possible that these early can expand and take market share from the paying attention in recent. The great challenge of these reside in internet shops to sell mobile phone companies the price at which these do, something that seems more than a utopia as these companies currently hosting its products as gold cloth and will not allow small online merchants to intrude in its market.

Traveling is one of the best ways for businesses to make new contacts and to conclude transactions, hence it is not surprising that so many often do. However, business trips are not cheap, especially when they involve international travel. The costs can add up quickly when employees have to leave their homes to visit partners and colleagues. Since the price of air tickets and accommodation, so expenditures for basic needs such as food and beverages. We all know that a trip to an office in another country can mean a big blow to the finances of the company. While it is unlikely that the companies stop making international travel altogether, there are ways to reduce expenses and cut costs considerably.

Careful planning is one of the best ways that companies can save money, but to do so, they need an initial investment of time. This may mean implementing a new reservation system or perhaps be a matter of asking all employees to choose flights and the cheapest accommodation possible for each trip. It is also of vital importance to try to plan the trip as early as possible, as they usually find better prices for flights and accommodation when booked in advance. If you leave booking until the last moment, it is very likely to end up paying more than necessary. Another thing that must be provided prior to the time to save money is to know the area. If you spend a little time researching online the country and its regions, you have a good idea about what areas are known to be the most expensive and which are most appropriate for business and leisure travelers. This will also help you ensure that you are not doing a false economy, for example, if you book a hotel for error is far from the office to which you will, the transport costs are such that the trip will end up being more expensive than if you had stayed at another hotel nearby.

Another useful way to reduce the cost of international travel business is to make sure you use financial services to make all your. Whether you are in the planning stage or already abroad, using them can be a big money saver for companies and helps eliminate concerns of pressure and expense associated with long distance calls. And, thanks to today's Internet connections to high speed are very common, companies can easily implement teleconferences in several places, whether local, national or international, to make calls and video calls and help to further reduce expenditure. If you use an intelligent approach to facilitate international travel will be more satisfied staff and budget will be looser.

I well remember the words of a professor at the University when we talk of that business is like an iceberg, 90% of the iceberg is under water, unable to be seen, while only 10% can be observed from the surface. What our teacher wanted us to say is that when we have a project or business idea, it is extremely important to investigate, to know everything about it, from how it works, how it is administered, as sold, etc. But as you can see the entire iceberg? Thanks to technology, we can investigate virtually any business from the internet, there are blogs about a variety of businesses, where they discuss techniques, tips, books are shared and diverse experiences in the world of business. Once you have visited and read all the blogs and websites that can advise you to make a small business plan (to start), write down your ideas and aspirations of your project, and discuss them with people who have had experience in the area or professionals who have more expertise. Another important tip, is to observe, for example, if you plan to open a clothing store, clothes stores go, check out the prices, the service, which can be improved, please client’s position and rate each party the purchasing process. This will help you have more ideas for your business, provide the way to go to run the business, because it will be familiar with the processes. In conclusion, find out all the theoretical and practical part of your business idea, do not rush this process because it is extremely important, so you have more knowledge of how to manage your business and know the benefits and negative aspects of your project. The hardest part is taking the first step
