How To Find a Consultant To Take Your Company Public

By James Scott

So many companies dream of going public to raise massive amounts of capital, as set up for an exit strategy, to make acquisitions with stock and for many other reasons. While your intentions may be pure and with genuine motives, you're entering shark infested waters of boiler rooms, crooked attorneys and underbelly consultants who have made careers off of taking well intentioned executives just like you for a 24 month rollercoaster ride while they take every penny you have as your company shrivels up like week old road kill.

Just and honest consultants in the 'public offering' industry are as rare as the illusive white elephant. This industry exists in a cesspool surrounded by rose gardens; from afar it looks amazing and an image of a dreamland but get up and close and the sludge and odor are enough to make you run and hide. So what do you look for in a consultant? The best consulting firms are the 'boutique firms' with minimal overhead that keep a low profile and are made up of 3 or 4 'partner' consultants.

These firms typically have the experience of working with the large consulting groups but for one reason or another have decided to leave and go out on their own. The great thing is, these small groups typically have massive contacts and process your entire public offering in-house. Offering a complete turn-key solution that is managed in-house offers a huge advantage because there is accountability and you can actually build a relationship with the people that are making your dream of a public offering come true.

These 'boutique' consultants will usually stay onboard as growth consultants for the life of the company in exchange for modest fees and a pre-IPO or pre-OTCBB equity position. The large firms will hack you out at the knees and gouge you with fees while they take massive amounts of equity in your company which takes away your bartering chip when you need to offer more stock to the public to raise capital.

The small firms will also work one on one with you to show you how to use your stock to grow through acquisition and other nifty ways to use stock to grow. Seek out the boutique consulting firm and save the attorney for spot audits. Hold on to your cash. Why pay outrageous fees to lawyers when you can pay 60% less with a small consulting firm that will add all the bells and whistles for free and actually get your stock trading, usually in half the time?

Past Lives - Understand Your Future By Facing Your Past

By Richard Fox

It's taken centuries, but more and more people today are beginning to believe in reincarnation. Granted there are some religions like Hindus and Buddhists who consider this to be a part of their journey. However, there are others that just feel that it's starting to make sense. Even if you're sitting on the fence and can't sway to one side or another, the curiosity of it all is simply intriguing. The only true way to find out is by exploring all your options.

Keeping Notes

One of the first things we recommend doing is keeping track of everything. If you truly want to tap into a past life, then you'll want to figure out your emotions and how you react to things each day. These can be big clues to whom or what you were in the past to others. The reason you will want to write this down is so you can come back and look it over later when you're piecing everything together.

Start by looking at your life today and see what clues you find. It doesn't matter if you're driving down the road and notice a billboard. The goal here is to figure out what type of a reaction you're having to that situation. It could be about the weather, your kids, the job, a television show, or even a stroll after dinner. You have to include everything or you won't be able to utilize all the information correctly.

When you wake up in the morning, think about the dreams you had last night. One thing to keep in mind is that our dreams tend to bring out past lives clearer, so remembering them is important. So the next time you come across a symbol or event that would never occur today, it's possible you knew this in a previous life and it tried to surface in your dreams. We understand this can be difficult, but if you tell yourself you want to learn about your past lives before going to sleep, it can definitely help.

Regression Therapy

Obviously this will depend on your finances, but if you have the capability to see a therapist we definitely recommend it. If there was any sort of regression in your past life, they will help you bring it to the forefront. While you can go to several different places, the International Association for Regression and Research and Therapies or International Association of Past Life Therapists is recommended.

Experiencing the Meditation Phenomenon

If things just aren't going according to plan, we recommend taking the meditation approach. It's just one way you can keep this search within the confines of your home, and allow you to do it without the negativity from others. Indulging yourself to find out more about a past life is very important to some people, and hearing others complain does not help the situation.

When you reach this state of mind, you will notice various images running in and out of your mind. Now, you aren't going to get a straight forward answer to all of this, but you will be able to find valuable information that has been hidden for years. Then again, you have to tell yourself you can do this with ease. If you don't think you can then you won't.

You've probably seen movies where individuals use some sort of visual stimulus to get started. It could be the flame of a candle or a pendulum, but they are both helpful. If the visual stuff doesn't work, you may want to try and meditate with sound. This could be from music, those audio sounds that help you sleep, or various other tools that are similar.

Have you heard about binaural beats? These are sound waves that shoot off different frequencies in each one of your ears. What it does is allows you to relax and reach the meditation traits of Zen monks. Even though they have been practicing this for years, it could take you minutes to utilize.

No matter which route you decide to take, make sure you have a quiet and peaceful area so you won't be interrupted.

First of all you need to find a comfortable position once everything is quiet and peaceful. You will have to teach yourself how to relax the muscles which will calm the mind. If you get distracted with stressful concerns or anything else, you have to let them go. It's hard to do at first, but once you're able to make that connection the body will flow into a meditation much easier.

If you truly believe in reincarnation, the images you get will eventually help resolve something in your life. Just keep in mind that you can't always tell if something is from a past life or your present one. The only thing you do know is that if you log enough information, you're bound to find something that works into your past life scenario.

You may even come to the conclusion that your brother, mother, or father today, was once a part of your life many years ago. However, they may not have been of any relation, or could have been even closer then you are today. Whatever the case may be it's unbelievable to think you knew your siblings 300 years ago in another lifetime.

At the end of the day you just need to believe in reincarnation. Since you've made it this far we imagine you do. If you plan on trying regression, you'll be able to get some extremely beneficial information about your past lives. It could be the first step to finding all the answers you need.
