Bill Ringle Leading Summer Tour on How High Performers Lead Businesses

Bill Ringle, America’s Business Growth Strategist, is offering a seminar called How High Performers Lead Their Businesses in Boston, Princeton, and Washington D.C. in July and August, 2012.

Philadelphia, PA, July 07, 2012 - Bill Ringle, America’s Business Growth Strategist and Founder of the Rapid Rise Academy, is traveling on a 2012 Summer Tour to offer seminars on How High Performers Lead Their Businesses. Ringle will lead this program in Boston, MA on July 17, 2012; in Princeton, NJ on July 26, 2012; and in Washington D.C./Baltimore, MD on August 2, 2012.

How High Performers Lead Their Businesses sprung from Ringle’s awareness that in this tough economy, the ways of finding new business and new opportunities have changed, and it has confused many leaders. Standing off to the sidelines is no way to win the game, and in fact is perhaps the riskiest thing a leader can do if they want to see their business thrive and prosper going forward.

"What I've seen in working with top entrepreneurs and executives is that the companies that have been growing in the last few years are thinking about business and doing things differently from those that have not been growing,” says Ringle. “What I call the "high performers" are innovating in their marketing, being bolder with their offers, and encouraging their team members like never before. It's these key principles and practices that really move the needle for businesses and what I want to share with you."

At each tour stop, Bill will create a lively environment for learning with other top business owners and leaders. He will teach some of his best ideas and practices that he has shared with members of his top coaching and mentoring programs, demonstrate how to overcome some of the big obstacles to consistent high performance in business, and leave time for networking during the event.

Bill Ringle Leads AskBillRingle.com Forum on Improving Team Productivity

AskBillRingle.com's open conference call for entrepreneurs and business owners on July 5, 2012 will discuss proven techniques and tips for improving business team member productivity.

Philadelphia, PA, July 07, 2012 - Bill Ringle, America’s Business Growth Strategist, will lead July’s AskBillRingle.com forum, "Improving Team Member Productivity," on Thursday, July 5, at 4:00pm ET. A great team maximizes the skills and productivity of each member. Does yours? This AskBillRingle.com session is designed to help you tap into the power of your team by improving team member productivity.


Ringle will discuss the five big barriers to getting the results you want, where you need to "come from" to allow members of your team to give their best, and how to avoid the "That's not what you told me to do" complaint. He’ll also share all-important ways to recognize that you are being a team leader, not a (micro)manager.

“Expanding a business beyond the start up stage to the growth stage and beyond requires that you develop systems and delegate responsibility throughout your organization. Unfortunately, this is one of the hardest things for many business owners to do.”

AskBillRingle.com gives business owners and entrepreneurs answers to their most pressing business growth questions. The website and accompanying conference calls focus on a different subject each month, and give business owners unprecedented access to Ringle's expertise, experience, and advice. August's topic, "Secrets to Getting More Repeat Business," will provide unique tips and discuss common mistakes in that area.

Bill Ringle, America’s Business Growth Strategist and Founder of the Rapid Rise Business Growth System, works with entrepreneurs and executives who want to overcome the five big challenges to business growth so that they can run profitable and rewarding businesses rather than become stuck and overwhelmed in unfulfilling and draining roles. He has worked on four continents, is the author of four business books, and inspires and educates thousands of business leaders each year through his speaking, coaching, interactive programs, and educational products.

AAA says Real estate sales increases are Good news for Alternative Investors

There has been some good news for those investing in real estate, in the form of stronger US property sales figures, according to Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA), an alternative investment advocacy group.

Boston, MA, July 05, 2012 - There has been some good news for those investing in real estate, in the form of stronger US property sales figures, according to Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA), an alternative investment advocacy group.

The National Association of Realtors has revealed that property sales had increased by over 10 per cent in April, compared with a year earlier. The Association added that sales could be up by as much as 13 per cent overall, by the end of the year.

Analysts believe that improving employment figures and falling mortgage costs are helping the industry get back on its feet, which means prices are rising. “This is great news for anyone who has invested in property over the past few years when prices were low,” claimed AAA’s analysis partner, Anthony Johnson.

“It is still a great time to buy homes in the US for investment purposes, as the market is bottoming out, which means the only way is up,” he added.

In fact, prices rose in 50 per cent of US cities in the first quarter of 2012 and this trend is expected to continue throughout the year. Mortgage rates have also fallen drastically. The average rate on a 30-year fixed rate mortgage a year ago was 4.5 per cent, while is now stands at just 3.66 per cent, according to a Freddie Mac survey.

Anthony Johnson stated, “investing in real estate has become more popular among those who want to diversify their portfolios against risk. It’s understandable that people want something tangible to show for their investments – especially after the economic crisis.

“We also support investment in other alternative asset classes, such as timberland, through firms like Greenwood Management, which runs sustainable plantations of non-native trees species in Brazil.” AAA claims that investing in alternatives can offer a more ethical option than stocks and bonds.

Luxury Travel Ltd Rolls out Central Vietnam Golf Package

HANOI-based Luxury Travel has launched a Central Golf Coast Tour of Vietnam tour package to leverage on Central Vietnam’s growing golf appeal, due to the improved air access and new products in the area.

Hanoi, Vietnam, July 05, 2012 - HANOI-based Luxury Travel (www.luxurytravelvietnam.com) has launched a Central Golf Coast Tour of Vietnam tour package to leverage on Central Vietnam’s growing golf appeal, due to the improved air access and new products in the area.

The six-day package allows golf enthusiasts to play on Vietnam’s world-class golf courses such as Montgomerie Links and Danang Golf Club. Accommodation options include beachfront resorts in Danang or Hoi An, and sightseeing trips to Hue, Hoi An or along the coastline will be planned. Non-golfers are also targeted.

Pham Ha, founder and CEO of Luxury Travel (www.luxurytravelvietnam.com ), said: “We will launch new exciting golf packages to promote Central Vietnam as a high-end golf destination in South-east Asia as we are seeing interest from golfers from the Middle East, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia and New Zealand."

Danang’s new international airport now links travellers from Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Singapore, Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur.

Vietnam currently has 29 golf courses, and Ha added that two new golf courses, including the Laguna Lang Co Golf Club and Ba Na Hills Golf Club, will open in Central Vietnam in late 2012.

The last two years have also seen the arrival of hotels along the coastline such as Hyatt Regency, InterContinental and Fusion Maia, offering more choices for golf travellers, said Ha.

FRA agrees that Brazil Regulations could boost Agricultural investment

Business Monitor International (BMI) has predicted that investment in forestry and agriculture in the Amazon region will be boosted as a result of the new forestry regulations giving people more control over land rights.

Bainbridge Island, WA, July 05, 2012 - Business Monitor International (BMI) has predicted that investment in forestry and agriculture in the Amazon region will be boosted as a result of the new forestry regulations giving people more control over land rights.

Brazil is one of the largest producers of soybeans and cattle in the world and the controversial new rights handed to land owners will make these areas of agriculture more attractive as investment options. This is according to international researchers at BMI whose view is also backed by Forestry Research Associates (FRA), a research and analysis consultancy specializing in forestry investment.

FRA’s analysis partner, Peter Collins, said, ”These new regulations have come at a time when the demand for beef and soy are growing in emerging markets. The regulations mean that more land could be given over to these agricultural activities, which is bound to attract more investment in to the region.”

However, FRA is keen to promote a more sustainable option of investing in non-native forestry plantations in the Amazon region. These plantations, run by firms like Greenwood Management, involve focusing on fast-growing species that are not native to the region. As a result, timber products from these species are more sustainable alternative to the wood from the natural rainforests, which are vulnerable.

“Managing forestry sustainably is something we support,” claimed Mr Collins, who added, “Investing in these plantations, investors can cash in on the growth in demand for raw materials from emerging markets without contributing to the degradation of the region’s rainforests."

There has recently been pressure on Brazilian pressure Dilma Rousseff to veto some of the new provisions, which could lead to a reducing in the farmers’ ability to expand the amount of land given over to agriculture. There continues to be people in favor of the new regulations and those against, the latter of which claim that the regulations will undo all the good work that has been done to reduce deforestation.

Toenail Fungus - Summer is synonymous with open-toe sandal season

For many people suffering from embarrassing and unsightly fungal nail infections, there is now hope.

Manhasset, NY, July 04, 2012 - Summer is synonymous with open-toe sandal season! It’s time to break out your sandals from the closet and show off your feet! For many people suffering from embarrassing and unsightly fungal nail infections, there is now hope. Thickened, yellow, hard to cut nails can now be a thing of the past! Fungal nail infections can be successfully treated at New York Laser Aesthetics Group through a cutting edge, FDA-approved procedure called the Q-Clear Foot Laser. This breakthrough treatment will give you your confidence back to show off your hands and feet this summer.

New York Laser Aesthetics Group is conveniently located in Manhasset, New York, a short drive from Port Washington, Garden City, Jericho, Syosset and Woodbury. They offer unparalleled expertise in nail fungus (onycomycosis) removal, with a trained and experienced staff ready to diagnose and treat your nail fungus infections with proper care, understanding, efficiency and effectiveness. The staff at New York Laser Aesthetics Group understands how embarrassing and detrimental a fungal nail infection can be, and are happy to treat you in their discreet, welcoming clinic. Appointments are available at your convenience, with most treatments quick enough to be completed during your lunch hour. Saturday appointments are also available.

Nail fungus is very common and affects about 15% of the US population. Until recently, the most effective treatment available for the millions of sufferers out there was a type of prescription pill that could potentially cause liver toxicity, and therefore required periodic blood tests. Luckily, as a result of years of research, the Q-clear foot laser was developed. This technology has only recently been made available to the public. The laser treatment is safe, painless and fast, and has been proven effective at eliminating fungus from fingernails and toenails.

The vast majority of patients see a significant improvement in their nails, and many see their nails return to being healthy and clear. The time needed for invisible improvement depends on the area being treated—a big toenail will replace itself in 12 to 18 months, and a lesser toenail will do so in 9 to 12 months. Healthy new growth will be visible in 4 to 5 months. The laser treatment will not cause your toenails to discolor or fall off.

There is no need to worry about the safety of the Q-clear Foot Laser. There have been NO adverse reactions, injuries, disabilities or known side effects associated with this laser treatment. Compared with the risks of taking the oral medications available today for treating toenail fungus, the laser is virtually risk-free. Prescriptions posing serious health risks to the liver and kidneys can be very dangerous, and do not always clear the problem entirely.

The Q-clear Foot Laser treatment does not harm you in any way. You will be able to put on your shoes and walk out of the of?ce just as well as you walked in. You can wear shoes immediately following, and pedicures are not prohibited after the laser treatment.

While laser treatment is considered aesthetic and therefore is not covered by insurance plans, treatment is affordable. The cost for many patients is LESS than what they have paid for expensive prescriptions they have tried in the past, often without success. Having the peace of mind that you can show off your hands and feet all summer with confidence is worth it!

Make this summer special—wear those sandals that you’ve been avoiding! New York Laser Aesthetics Group will be happy to speak with you about the Q-clear Foot Laser and your treatment options for fungal nail infections. Please call them today to schedule a free consultation and to learn about any upcoming promotions. You may contact them at 516-627-7777 or through their website at www.nylaser1.com.

“In the eating disorders field, it is imperative that we share resources, best practices and promising research in order to help our patients achieve the best outcomes possible,” said Kenneth L. Weiner, MD, FAED, CEDS, chief executive officer and founding partner of Eating Recovery Center, an international center for eating disorders recovery. “The Eating Recovery Center Foundation Eating Disorders Conference is a forum in which professionals and advocates alike can learn from each other, collaborate and share the innovative practices that are moving our field forward.”

This year, Eating Recovery Center will also offer conference attendees the opportunity to attend a pre-conference four-hour ethics workshop. Titled "Should Gandhi Have Been Force Fed: Ethical Issues in the Treatment of Eating Disorders," the workshop will be held Friday, August 10, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., prior to the start of the general conference. Presenters include eating disorders treatment expert Craig Johnson, PhD, FAED, CEDS, chief clinical officer of Eating Recovery Center; Rev. David W. Kenney, MA, MA, Cand. D.Be., of The Clinical Ethics Consultancy; and Andrew Braun, MBA, chief operating officer of Eating Recovery Center.

Extra-wide European Walnut Flooring in Stock for The First Time at Urbane Living

Extra-wide European walnut flooring is now available from Urbane Living

London, UK, July 03, 2012 - For the first time, customers have the opportunity to buy extra-wide engineered European walnut flooring from trusted supplier Urbane Living.

European walnut flooring is ever-popular thanks to its distinctive grain patterns and warm colour finish. Meeting growing customer demand for wider planks, Urbane Living can now offer the floorboards in widths of 240 - 500mm and lengths of 2,000 – 4,000mm as required by customers.

Adam Robertson, co-founder of Urbane Living, commented: “The unique point about these boards is that they are available for the first time with incredibly wide widths, up to 500mm wide and 2 to 4m in length.”

He added: “They are manufactured to a very high standard with the same timber on the bottom layer to act as a counter balance layer for added stability.”

Homeowners can rest assured that their floor will last too - European walnut flooring is harder than American walnut flooring, which makes it less susceptible to dents. It’s also highly sought-after for its polished finish. Opting for extra wide walnut flooring provides the additional benefit of allowing users to appreciate the grain of the wood. This varies from piece to piece but can include more natural wood with interesting knots across the surface, or a smoother dark piece of material if preferred.

Wider flooring was identified as a key interiors trend at the Dotomex 2012 exhibition - an international wood flooring trade show which was held in Hanover, Germany earlier this year. The trend for wide-plank wood flooring fits in with the increasing demand for natural, eco-friendly flooring options, which looks set to continue to grow in popularity.

The flooring is sold in 1m2 units and is priced at £140.68 ex. VAT ( £168.82 inc. VAT)
