Choosing the best location for your business is a time-consuming process that is both exciting and exhausting, most especially if you are planning to undertake the process of finding on your own and without the help of commercial real estate professionals known as tenant brokers.

You might have heard the classic business advice “location, location, location”, but it is actually true if you are planning to start your own business. The location of your business is one of the most important things you need to pay attention to as it can significantly affect the cost and revenues. The physical location of your business can help determine whether your business will succeed or fail. Which is why tenant representation is important to help you find the most suitable location that can help turn your space into a strategic asset and give real economic opportunities.

Having a tenant broker who acts on your behalf can save you a considerable amount of time and money on site selection and negotiations. Most especially if you aren’t a real estate expert, commercial property owners might take advantage of you in negotiating optimal lease terms. When it comes to negotiation, you need someone to fight your corner, a professional with the right expertise, resources and knowledge base to get the best deal possible for you.

Before finding the right location that will help boost your business, you need to set a clear picture of your business goals and your occupancy needs first. From that point, Bellmoore Group Inc review and analyze your business needs and requirements, advise an occupancy plan and carefully evaluates alternative sites, choosing the most advantageous location perfect for your business goals and can maximize your potential income generation.

Bell Moore Group Inc. provides third party management, leasing, brokerage and consulting services and is well-known by their in-depth knowledge of global markets combined with strategic problem-solving skills. Clients trust and look for our quality service since 1991, we can help maximize workplace flexibility and productivity by securing a space on terms that best serve your needs over the life of your lease. We understand how property owners operate and use that insight to negotiate and get the right results for your business.

Promoviendo La Lactancia Materna por Mossack Fonseca

# data[].attributes.body
En Panamá solo el 21.5% de los bebés alcanza la lactancia exclusiva hasta los 6 meses de nacidos, según reveló el Ministerio de Salud.

Muchas madres, una vez se reincorporan a sus puestos de trabajo a eso de los 3 meses de haber dado a luz— optan por dejar de amamantar a sus bebés debido a lo complicado que les resulta extraer la leche u ordeñarse; no hay, en las oficinas, un espacio para hacerlo cómodamente. Es por ello, que con el objetivo de alargar el tiempo de que el bebé se alimente de la leche materna, la empresa Mossack Fonseca decidió crear un Cuarto de Lactancia que cuenta con todo lo necesario para que sus colaboradoras puedan ordeñarse y guardar la leche para que sus hijos sigan recibiendo todos los nutrientes que esta les da.

Como empresa socialmente responsable, Mossack Fonseca tuvo la oportunidad de inaugurar en sus instalaciones, el Cuarto de Lactancia para beneficio de las madres de la empresa, preocupándose por la salud de los bebés y colaborando para que el lazo afectivo entre madre e hijo se mantenga a pesar de las responsabilidades laborales.

Mossack Fonseca mantiene una alianza con la compañía Pigeon, la cual trabajó de la mano para desarrollar este hermoso proyecto propiciándole todos los insumos necesarios que provee la marca. Las madres gozarán de un agradable espacio, el cual contará con mobiliario especial para atenderlas, así como modernos equipos entre ellos una nevera, una esterilizadora a vapor para microondas, protectores para lactancia de Pigeon y Lansinoh, bolsitas para almacenar la leche de Lansinoh, guías de consejos y catálogos de productos de Pigeon.

“En la empresa se cuenta con una tasa de participación femenina del 69%, siendo la mayoría de la fuerza laboral, es por ello que nos preocupamos por su bienestar con la creación de espacios adecuados para fomentar la lactancia materna dentro de la empresa. La leche materna protege al infante contra enfermedades como diarrea, alergias, resfriados e infecciones de oído, dado que es la mejor opción de alimentación para el bebé y contiene todos los nutrientes requeridos”, explicó Susana Fonseca, Coordinadora de RSE de Mossack Fonseca.

Con esta iniciativa, Mossack Fonseca se une al grupo de empresas que fomentan la lactancia materna, creando espacios para esta noble actividad, y al mismo tiempo evidencia el alto compromiso orientado a ayudar a las colaboradoras para que puedan desarrollar sus actividades en un ambiente que garantice las mejores condiciones laborales, pensando en su condición de madre lactante.

Online Team Collaboration: shared workspaces for working with colleagues, clients, and partners.

# data[].attributes.body
Meir Ezra- After working for five years as a car salesman, Jim was promoted to the sales manager position. During his first week as manager, he decided he needed to show everyone who was boss.

Jim cracked the whip. He held a meeting and told the other sales people, "I want 10 cars sold today or someone will get fired!"

Jim was pushy, demanding and angry. The sales people ran around looking busy and avoiding Jim. Everyone tried to force customers to buy cars, but car sales dropped.

Jim yelled even louder. "You can't sells cars by pressuring customers, you idiots! Now get out there and sell these stupid cars!"

After a month of this, his two best sales people quit. Sales dropped even further. The car dealership owner said, "Jim, if you can't turn sales around, I'm afraid I'll need to get another sales manager."

Jim said, "I can't believe this! What am I doing wrong?"

Five Bad Leadership Attitudes

Like many new managers, Jim did not really understand his role as a leader. He and many other managers have these wrong ideas about managing people.

1. "Because I'm the manager, you better respect me . . . or else!"

2. "People are lazy and so I need to force them to work."

3. "I am superior to everyone here which is why I can do anything I want."

4. "If you work for me, you need to kiss my butt."

5. "If you don't like how I run things, you can leave."

Because of these attitudes, Jim's staff were selling fewer cars and looking for other jobs. If Jim did not change his attitude, he would also be looking for a new job soon.

Just in time, Jim learned this vital fact about management.

A Key to Leadership Success

"I believe that to command is to serve and only gives one the right to serve." -- L. Ron Hubbard

After learning about this important leadership attitude, Jim said, "What? I'm supposed to serve others? How ridiculous!" But then he thought it through. The lightbulb above his head started to flash.

"If I serve my staff by training them about sales and about these cars, they will know how to sell better."

"If I serve my staff with kindness and courtesy, they will probably start to serve the customers better!"

"If I'm here to serve my department, I will help them make sales, not force them."

A New Day

The next morning, Jim brought a box of chocolate doughnuts for his staff and said, "Today is a new day! This may be a shock to some of you, but I've realized that I've been a bad manager. I want to try helping you instead of yelling at you, okay?"

Jim then served his sales people by giving them sales tips. "Give every customer a service. Learn as much as you can about their needs. Offer your best advice. Be kind and helpful."

He asked, "How can I help you each sell a car today?" The sales people had some ideas: "Fill the tanks full of gas so we don't have to buy gas during test drives." "Let us give out more brochures." "Give a doughnut to each customer."

Jim said, "No problem! I'll get you gas, brochures and doughnuts. Anything else I can do for you?"

The staff were stunned, but happy.

During the day, he helped his sales people give service to the customers, not pressure.

"She wants to discuss it with her father first? That's probably a good idea. Invite him down to meet us if he can."

"He wants to test drive ten cars before deciding? No problem."

"Can I get you folks something to drink?"

Jim persisted with his new service attitude. He thought of new ways to give service to his staff, his boss and their customers. Customers felt they were buying luxury cars because of the excellent service.

The sales people enjoyed their work. Jim had more fun with less stress. Car sales increased to record levels.

Service, Not Slavery

Jim had one small worry, "Will my people take advantage of me or run over me if I'm trying to give them service?"

He soon found this was not a problem when one salesman tried to boss him around.

The salesman said, "Jim, I need a few hours off to run some errands for my wife. And I need to borrow the demo car, okay?"

Jim said, "No. And you can't take off a few hours until I see you sell one car today. How can I help you do your job?"

Recommendations

Even if you are not officially a manager, you are a leader. People follow your example, learn from you, ask for your opinions, do what you do first and so on. Constantly improving your leadership skills is essential to your success.

1. Make a list of everyone you lead in one way or another: customers, staff, coworkers, family, friends, colleagues, even your boss.

2. Write down one or more ways you can better serve each person this week.

3. Provide these services to everyone you work with during the week.

Observe the results. Watch how people react. Notice how you feel.

If you persist with an attitude of service, your position will improve, your pay will increase and those you lead will be more successful.

Meir Ezra: How to Kill the Green-eyed
Monster

Meir Ezra --- Nothing can ruin a relationship or marriage faster than jealously. Jealousy creates anxiety, anger, loneliness, hate, fear. No one thinks clearly when jealous.

Having a relationship with a jealous person is tough. The jealous person acts untrusting or unworthy. Jealousy makes the person unattractive, even repulsive.

No one wants a jealous mate and no one likes being jealous. So what causes jealousy?

"Jealousy is the largest factor in breaking up marriages. Jealousy comes about because of the insecurity of the jealous person and the jealousy may or may not have foundation. This person is afraid of hidden communication lines and will do anything to try to uncover them." — L. Ron Hubbard

When you are jealous, a line of communication is going on with your spouse or lover that is hidden from you. The mystery causes the pain. If you witnessed your spouse’s communication line, so it was not hidden from you, you would not feel jealous.

Hidden communication lines or mysteries make you think of questions. "Will she find someone she likes better than me?" "Is he having an affair?" "Is she going to leave me?" "Does he think I’m unattractive?"

When you are jealous, the mystery makes you assume the worst. "Maybe he’ll fall in love with his cute receptionist and leave me." "She’s going to lunch with her old boyfriend because she’s still attracted to him." "He’ll come home and tell me he wants a divorce."

So how do you handle your feelings of jealousy? How do you deal with a spouse or boyfriend/girlfriend who is jealous?

Solutions

"Communication is the root of marital success from which a strong union can grow, and non-communication is the rock on which the ship will bash out her keel*." — L. Ron Hubbard (*Keel: The main structural part of a ship that goes from bow to stern—front to back.)

If you are jealous, you need to communicate. You need to stop assuming the worst and ask questions. Communicate your feelings so you can work out solutions.

Bob says to his wife, "I don’t want to feel this jealously. I want to get rid of it by asking you a question, okay? Good. So are you attracted to Joe?"

His wife says, "Heavens no! Joe just wanted some help with his son. I love YOU like crazy!"

Bang! The hidden communication is revealed. The mystery is resolved. Bob feels much better.

If Bob doesn’t communicate, his wife’s communication with Joe makes Bob jealous, afraid and angry. Their marriage suffers.

If your mate is jealous, make sure you have no hidden lines of communication. "Would you like to read this letter from Jill?" "Can you meet with Joe to help with his son?"

Use communication to resolve the problem. For example, you notice Marcia is acting upset and not talking. You ask yourself, "What communication line might be hidden from Marcia?" You realize she’s been acting annoyed ever since you started working for an attractive female boss.

"Marcia, have I told you about my new boss?" Marcia jumps up and now wants to talk. You communicate the facts and remove the mystery. Marcia is cheerful and wants to go to a movie.

As well as using communication to resolve mysteries, communicate your feelings for your spouse or boyfriend/girlfriend. Tell him or her how you feel. Express your love. Show your affection.

Resolve the mysteries of the past. Discuss your feelings in the present. Make plans for the future. Because of communication, your relationship will be a big success.

L. Ron Hubbard also writes, "Jealousy comes about because of the insecurity of the jealous person. . . ." Mr. Hubbard’s discoveries on insecurity are outlined in his book, Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health, available in our bookstore.
