			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Authoring your book is the most important business decision you can make. Your book will position you as the expert in you field. The media will clamor to interview you providing you with massive exposure. Your book, if positioned using principles of the Entrepreneurial Authoring Program, will provide an un-ending source of leads for your business. This means ultimately more money for you.<span id="more-44"></span></p>
<p>Here are 10 more powerful secrets to make your brain get the write idea:</p>
<p>1. Set specific, measurable goals regarding time. Schedule two 1.5 hour blocks of writing time each week, for example, after considering the impact on others and accommodating your schedule. Writing daily for 15 minutes may be a reasonable and attainable goal.</p>
<p>2. Take 15 minutes a day as reflective time or I.G.A. time (Idea Generating Activity Time). Think about what you are working on and record all ideas that come to you during this time. In this situation you are writing ideas not content but the content will come later.</p>
<p>3. Invite your friends to have coffee and treats with you. Tell them in advance you want their input on some ideas you have for your book. Pay for their coffee and harvest their thoughts. This motivates you to write and enhances your commitment to the process. Remember that reflection and I.G.A. activities are an integral part of the writing process.</p>
<p>4. Write when you need to! Drop everything and write when the time is right or the situation demands it. Don&#8217;t feel guilty! You can forgo other jobs and responsibilities you should have been doing and do them later. If others can do this then why can&#8217;t you?</p>
<p>5. Use your time more efficiently by having all the materials you need for writing in one location so you can just sit down at any time and write. Whenever you end one authoring session you should automatically prepare the catalyst material to begin the next. This includes being very specific about the topic and key words to begin writing immediately upon sitting down. You will save 10 to 15 or more minutes per session when you prepare in advance. Take 5 minutes to get ready at the end of each session to prepare for the next one, and save writing time for the next session.</p>
<p>6. Treat the time you take for writing as recreational time. It&#8217;s writing time that energizes you and makes your life more worthwhile. Tell others how important writing time is for you. They will help you find time to write.</p>
<p>7. Make a pact with your spouse or significant other to trade large blocks of time so each of you can pursue your individual interests. This removes any conflicts and any guilt feelings about using large amounts of time for writing.</p>
<p>8. Prioritizing is a key to successfully reaching your goals in life. Making writing one of your priorities and advertising that plan of yours will open up possibilities to write more. Others respect what you value if they value your friendship.</p>
<p>9. Think Big Picture. Your daily to-do list cannot govern your life. Authoring a book is a Big Picture item. Taking time out just to think and reflect and plan is okay. It will motivate you to write. Go for a bike ride or a walk in the woods to help you keep focused on the Big Picture. Remember that writing is the doing part of thinking. Give yourself time to think and reflect.</p>
<p>10. Use your time more efficiently by having all the materials you need for writing located in one place so you can just sit down at any time and write. Whenever you end one writing session you should automatically prepare the catalyst material to begin the next. This includes being very specific about the topic and key words to begin writing immediately upon sitting down. You will save 10 to 15 or more minutes per session when you prepare in advance. Take 5 minutes to get ready at the end of each writing session to prepare for the next one, and save writing time for the next session.</p>
<p>There is a third set of tips in this series. The best advice I can give you is simply to start putting one or two of these strategies into practice, then add another one or two. Do the ones that are the most powerful for you in your life first.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Choosing an attractive binding cover is the one of the most important steps in creating impressive bound presentations. Such presentations can be made for projects done by large corporations, small businesses, home offices, government agencies, schools, churches, and many other establishments.</p>
<p>Before you get to the point of deciding on the right binding cover for your presentation, you must first consider several other factors in the binding process. Let&#8217;s start at the beginning. First, you must choose what information you want to present and how you want to say it. Typeface, graphics and other visuals should all be considered when putting together any kind of presentation.<span id="more-43"></span></p>
<p>Once you know what is going into the booklet, you must decide what type of paper you want to use. It can be flimsy or rigid, purple or green. Choose carefully because looks mean everything in these circumstances. You may also want to laminate the pages. This creates a more durable, impressive looking booklet. Colors are brighter and pages are going to stay fresh-looking and clean for a much longer time than paper alone.</p>
<p>Once you have your pages printed, organized and stacked, it is time to choose what type of binding style you want to use to finish your reports. There are several options when it comes to binding your reports and presentations:</p>
<p>* Plastic Comb Binding: Comb bindings utilize 19 plastic rings that insert into corresponding rectangular holes on the edge of your bound document.</p>
<p>* Spiral Coil Binding: Coil bindings consist of a continuous coil that spirals through the holes in the paper. This type of binding is plastic or and is available in more than sixty different colors.</p>
<p>* Twin Loop Wire Binding: Also called double loop wire or wire-o, twin loop wire is made from a single piece of wire formed into a double loop. These wires are shipped in a C shape and are closed into a round shape using a twin loop wire closer.</p>
<p>* Velobind: Sometimes called strip binding, Velobind uses a thin plastic binding strip that is applied to the edge of the document. Velobind can be applied using a hot knife Velobind system that rivets the strips in place or using recloseable Velobind strips that snap into place.</p>
<p>Documents bound with plastic comb binding, twin loop wire and spiral coil binding can all open flat. Wire bound and coil bound books can also be folded back, so the front page meets the back page. This is great for convenience and durability.</p>
<p>After you have selected the right binding style for your document it is finally time to choose your binding cover. The first step in choosing a binding style is to select the color of cover that you are looking for. Binding covers are available in almost every color that you can imagine including black, blue, green, red, light gray, dark gray, ivory, white, purple, brown and more. It is important to choose the right color of cover that corresponds with the color scheme of your company or the color of your binding element.</p>
<p>After you have selected the right color of binding cover it is then important to select the right material for your covers. Binding covers are available in different types of paper, clear plastic, embossed poly, vinyl and more. Certain covers are better for certain applications. For instance, plastic covers are moisture resistant and do not tear. However, paper covers provide a more traditional look and feel. It is important to consider these factors when choosing a binding cover.</p>
<p>Finally, it is important to choose the right size of binding cover for your application. The most common sizes of binding covers are 8.5&#8243; x 11&#8243; and 8.75&#8243; x 11.25&#8243; with round corners. However, binding covers are also available in a number of other sizes including 9&#8243; x 11&#8243; for reports with index tabs, 8.5&#8243; x 14&#8243; for legal sized documents and 11&#8243; x 17&#8243; for large format documents.</p>
<p>From the cover to the binding supplies, you should be able to obtain everything you need from one place. This helps to ensure compatibility between products, as well as making it more convenient to purchase. If you choose, you can even get your hands on the actual machines that bind and laminate materials. This allows you to do it all completely on your own time and budget.</p>
<p>The binding cover is truly the icing on the cake when it comes to booklets. It is both the first and last thing a person will see when using a booklet. When creating such materials, keep in mind the importance of first impressions. A professional and polished booklet can take you a long way, regardless of the setting. Put a little extra time into creating an impressive presentation and you&#8217;ll surely wow your audiences.</p>
