The world around us is shrinking, thanks to communication and information industry. The impact is enormous and it is getting more and more intense as the time progresses. The applications and their repercussions have forced many industry experts to revert back to their analysis and redo the extrapolation of the capacity market expansion in mobile phones.



This year has given them more reasons than ever to improvise on their predictions and execute their planning to get a fair share of market expansion. Let us have a look on these figures released by Mobile Data Association (MDA):
“112 million messages were sent on average per day throughout June, with the total monthly figure topping 3.37 billion. Person-to-person texts sent across the UK GSM network and over 120 million text messages were sent on FA Cup Final day (13th May) and 124 million sent on Champions League Final day (17th May)”.



The story neither ends here nor does it limit the prospect of mobile phones industry’s growth to messaging and calling. Ring tones, mobile phone music, caller tunes and other such parameters have also witnessed an upswing and they are contributing to the overall rapid growth of mobile phone industry.

The basis of every business lies in targeting consumers and if the business grows so do the options and flexibility in terms of prices and deals for consumers. In a move to reach the larger section of society, almost all the leading manufacturing brands (Nokia, LG, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, Motorola) and leaders in mobile phone networking (T-Mobile, Orange, O2, 3Mobile Phones) individually and collectively, have been presenting their deals on the internet, benefiting to and from online shopping.

For most people, summer is the most enjoyable season of the year, not least for the glorious weather and the long hours of sunshine it brings, but also because it’s the best time of year for people to take fantastic vacations. Winter vacations are seen to be slightly more problematic. While holidays in the summertime can incorporate a variety of outdoor activities such as trekking, mountain climbing, or the ever-popular sun-bathing, the colder temperatures in winter mean that holiday activities can prove to be more complex to plan. However, there exists a huge variety of options available to you if you’re looking to take the perfect winter family holiday in America.

Visit Methow Valley, Washington, for instance: Washington’s stunning North Cascades allow for holiday makers to revel in some of the best natural scenery in the USA and enjoy a fantastic skiing holiday at the same time. Methow Valley is the perfect location for a fun winter family trip, and is maintained by the Methow Valley Sports Trail Association (MVSTA), a non-profit organisation which built the valley’s 200km trail and now runs ski school clinics, races and family-centred events throughout the year.

Another fantastic winter holiday location to consider is Lake Tahoe; the famous freshwater lake on the border of California and Nevada and located close to Carson City. Like Methow Valley, Tahoe has a number of ski resorts and is popular for both summer and winter recreation. At 1645 feet deep and 192 square miles large, Lake Tahoe is one of the deepest and largest lakes in the United States – in fact, only Oregon’s Crater Lake is deeper, at 1930 feet. Carefully protected by the United States Forest Service, and steeped in ancient natural history, the whole family will love exploring the environs of Lake Tahoe in the winter.

However, if skiing and winter outdoor activities don’t appeal as holiday pastimes, but you’re still looking for a fantastic winter getaway, you can always take your family to Orlando, Florida. Here you can visit Walt Disney World and take advantage of the special rates that the theme park offers during particular winter months. Or, if you’re going to be travelling during Christmas, your family will love visiting Hershey, Pennsylvania. The home of Hershey’s candy, the fabulous Hershey Park is converted into Christmas Candyland in December and a staggering one million Christmas lights are put up on display. Typically running for a month prior to Christmas, Hershey’s Christmas Candyland will provide your kids with a tremendous amount of fun for the festive season, and adults are sure to have a great time too!

Other popular winter holiday destinations in the United States include Yellowstone National Park, Wisconsin Dells and Alaska. Other ideas to think about, if you’re looking to get out of the country on your winter getaway, would be to take a Caribbean cruise, maybe visit Sweden’s famous Ice Hotel, or perhaps even go snowboarding on Canada’s Mount Tremblant. Various large hotel chains offer special winter deals, so you and your family will never be short of affordable options to choose from when planning your perfect winter getaway.

Anyone who wanders the streets of Rome cannot fail to be amazed or impressed by its stunning architecture. In fact, countless people have argued that Rome is ‘the most beautiful city in the world’ – a claim that’s hard to refute. The Colosseum, for example, is one of the most impressive structures in the city. As the largest amphitheatre ever built by the Roman Empire, the Colosseum played host to Gladiatorial combat and was originally capable of seating 50,000 spectators. Today, visitors can step back into history and walk within its walls; just as spectators did from 80AD onwards. Another masterpiece of architecture to be found in the city is The Piazza del Campidoglio, which was designed by Michelangelo Buonaroti and is another example of the architecture that exemplifies Rome’s role as a world centre of the Renaissance. However, there are also other grandiose squares in Rome, which includes the Piazza del Popolo, Piazza Navona and Piazza Venezia among others.

Gian Lorenzo Bernini’s Trevi Fountain – another structural masterpiece – is a spectacular example of baroque art, as is the Palazzo Madama, which now seats the Italian Senate. This baroque style is also present in the Piazza di Spagna, which holds the Barcaccia Fountain and the Spanish Steps – made famous in the Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn film, Roman Holiday.

The city is also home to a number of neoclassic-style buildings; the most famous of which is the Monument of Vittorio Emanuele II, which represents the 650,000 Italians who fell in conflict during World War I. Yet another spectacular architectural attraction is The Pantheon; the name is derived from the Greek word meaning ‘Temple of all the Gods’ and was originally built as a temple to the seven deities in the state religion of Ancient Rome. It has, however, been a Christian church since the 7th century.

No visit to Rome would be complete without a visit to the State of the Vatican City – the smallest nation in the world. Here, you can see the majestic Saint Peter’s Square and Basilica, as well as the Sistine Chapel with its legendary ceiling painted by Michelangelo.

Although Rome is a bustling city, it has a number of serene parks and gardens – many of which are found within villas. The Villa Doria Pamphili, for example, is the largest landscaped park in Rome; while Villa Borghese houses a gorgeous garden alongside the famous Borghese Gallery. Also recommended to visit is the Villa Torlonia – a remarkable example of Art Nouveau in the city, which was also the former Roman residence of Benito Mussolini.

While a walk around the city provides an indication of the various artistic eras in which Rome played a part, its grandiose museums and galleries are also well worth visiting. Among the most famous of these are the National Museum of Rome, The Museum of Roman Civilization, the Borghese Gallery, the Museum of Castel Sant’Angelo and the Capitoline Museums.

There are various travel sites and travel agents that offer fantastic deals on hotels in Rome. So whether you’re interested in taking an extended cultural tour or simply want get away for the weekend, Rome is the perfect place to go – and, besides, you’ll see just what makes it ‘the most beautiful city in the world’.

How the Theory of Constraints Can Uncover the Missing Link in Your Investment Strategy

Unless you have a working corporation with employees, outsourcers, systematized operations, rules and regulations, you probably do not run your commercial real estate investing as a true business. Sure you have strategies and ways you like to do things, but are you truly maximizing your resources that can lead to bigger, better, and even more commercial real estate deals? Would you implement a system for every aspect of your current operations if it eliminated excess resources, maximized productivity, identified problem areas or constraints, allowed for those constraints to be corrected, and allowed for ease of communication and control of all those involved with your operations? I think you would.

A problem with many investors is that they do not view their process as a business. They do not have a company name or multiple teams working below them. They do not have business rules, regulations, checks and balances, or protocol for the people they work with. However, the truth is, commercial real estate investing, no matter how small, is a business all itself. In order to optimize this fact, one should follow proven business strategy that allows great companies to flourish with very little constraint or pain.

A very important theory that is used not only in business, but in science, politics, sports, and even everyday life is the Theory of Constraints. This theory literally transcends all boundaries as it is a scientific principle that can be applied to any relationship between two or more subjects. You have all heard of the expression, “You are only as strong as your weakest link.” This is in reference to the Theory of Constraints.

What is basically introduced is the concept that you can look at a process or relationship as a chain. One link to another, that chain is reliant on the strength of the relationship. If it is a process, and each link is a task, then each task must be working optimally so it does not weaken the chain. If one link becomes tired, lazy or behind, then the chain is all together weaker and ineffective at producing the result.

At any one time there can only be one constraint. You must tackle that constraint, and then another may appear. However, at that time, there is only one constraint to attend to. In order for a process or system to be working 100%, each link must be strong. If not, you suffer from inefficiencies; suboptimal performance and a complete slow down of the process.

Do you find areas in your business of commercial real estate investing that you are not pleased with? Are there areas you feel you and the people you work with and rely on could improve? Could wasted time be eliminated? What areas could you improve that would increase overall profitability of your commercial real estate strategies?

Within these questions you will uncover the areas where a streamlined process can greatly improve performance and decrease crisis and other problems. If your current strategy and processes are running at 100%- then there is no need to read this article. However, if you feel there could be considerable improvement, or even a small improvement that could increase your results exponentially, please read on!

If you have a reoccurring problem, you can create a system around it to alleviate the problem and have a working process to follow. With systems in place for every area of your business, you can identify the constraints. Constraints are identified by a build-up of resources where the weakest link can be found. At a certain point if the streamlined process gets slow, and the results are trickling through or you are behind on due dates, go to the place where everything starts slowing down. This is your bottle neck. This is your constraint.

At this time, you need to focus every ounce of energy you have in eliminating the constraint. Look behind the noticeable constraint as well- where was the source? It may not be where you think it is. Dig deep and find what really caused the chain to break.

By identifying the constraint in your process, it can be quickly remedied. You do not have to guess where the problem is or jump from crisis to crisis because you know exactly where the hold-up is.

So you realize the benefit of being implementing systems and finding constraints. Let’s look at how to actually create and implement the processes that will run your business.

Implementing processes and systems are the best way to optimize total performance. How this is done is you write down every single task within a certain boundary. For example, write down every task in creating the information packet to submit to a lender to get approval for a loan on a project. Write down every task for this specific process and then number them in how they follow in sequence.

Are there certain people involved who make this process happen? You may realize how you can cut out duplicated efforts, combine tasks into a single person who performs them, and completely streamline the process. What you do now is create a process map or flow chart showing the entire process from first step to last in the proper sequence.

Identify who does what task and any time allotments or due dates if necessary. You know have a tangible, easy to learn, communicate and control process for submitting a proposal to a lender for a new project. Doing this alone will allow others to follow along with your process and have a clear understanding as to what is supposed to be done.

Do you have protégés or other eager minds willing to help you in order to gain a valuable education from an experienced investor? Now you don’t have to worry about being the only one who “knows” the business. With a clear system and process map, you can now teach those around you the same, working, proven systems. With a process map individual tasks and relationships can be easily changed as continuous improvement is a benefit of process maps.

Do you see how process maps allow for easy identification of the constraints within your system? It is very powerful once you start thinking systematically and stray from the very often used “task by task” mentality.

If you truly want to be a successful, profitable commercial real estate investor, and a continuing improved and profitable investor, treat the investing as a true business with process maps, metrics and controls. It may take a little work to really streamline the business and create the processes from the current tasks being performed.

However, I am sure you can agree of the power this would have on your overall performance and profitability. Eliminate excess resources and duplicate efforts. Maximize total control and effectiveness of each task within the process.

If you feel that you can benefit from this type of systemization, I urge you to start today. Take a look at the big picture of what you are building and learn to optimize at every chance you have. The results can be astounding with just a little awareness as to how you are truly operating and performing.
