Catering the Perfect Power Breakfast
Catering the Perfect Power Breakfast Meeting for a power breakfast with a client is an ideal way to get the deal sealed while everyone is at their ultimate energy levels. Be sure the food you opt to include is conducive to a dynamic gathering by carefully choosing a selection that is easy to handle and not distracting from the topic at hand. Offer a platter of breakfast sandwiches, which can be prepared by the client with little or no effort before eating. Include a vegetarian option to cover your bases. For a colorful display that adds a vibrant, fresh feel, include a rainbow-colored fruit tray. Muffins are a great addition as a finger food that can be easily doctored with a pat of butter, jam, or cream cheese.

Changing Your Mentality Can Help You Afford a London Vacation
Changing Your Mentality Can Help You Afford a London Vacation Many people have a hard time saving money for elaborate vacations. Although the lack of income can play a significant role in how much you can save, it may be your overall mentality towards saving that limits your abilities. A lot of these problems are caused by habitual spending that you may not be completely aware that you're committing. By changing your mentality of how you spend and save, you can easily afford a London vacation. The Paycheck Percentage One of the most common methods of saving money is by dedicating a percentage of your paycheck to a separate account. If you make $550 per week, $55 of it should be moved to a savings account if you're dedicating 10 percent. While this can help you accumulate money rather quickly, many people tend to dip into this account to pay for frivolous things. You need to limit your spending in this manner if you wish to build onto a way to visit places such as London. The … [Read more...]
