Terrell Owens + LA Modeling Agency

Terrell Owens + LA Modeling Agency - What’s an athlete to do when money isn’t flowing in like it used to? Some turn to sponsorships, others get part time jobs– which is apparently what Terrell Owens has decided to do.

TO hasn’t played in the NFL since 2010. The guy is 39, which in professional athlete years, is like 70. But he’s still got it going on in the looks department apparently as NEXT agency approached him and asked if he’d be interested in making some extra dinero with his face.

Terrell Owens + LA Modeling Agency

Owens’ publicist, Diana Bianchini, stated:

“Terrell has had a modeling contract in the past. Most can see why this would be a natural fit for him. NEXT approached him. He signed about a month ago and we are all very excited by this deal.”

Do most athletes go this route? Not really. Many run out of money and have to find alternative ways to keep up their lifestyle. Also, if you look at the wealthiest athletes in the world, very few are making all their money from contracts– most are getting rich from endorsements.

Tiger Woods - $75 million - Golf

Despite the negative impact of his scandal, Woods still holds huge endorsements and still earns a fair wedge from the sport itself.

Kobe Bryant - $53 million - Basketball

Kobe commands the biggest salary in basketball at around $24.8 million and has a growing endorsement package which includes being the face for Mercedes-Benz’s Smart Car in China.

LeBron James - $48 million - Basketball

LeBron is possibly the most controversial player in the NBA, and like Michael Jordon has made a killing from having the no1 selling basketball shoe amongst many other profitable ventures.

Roger Federer - $47 million - Tennis

Roger holds 10 major deals that bring him one of the most varied portfolios in the world of sports.

Phil Mickelson - $46.5 million - Golf

Despite being diagnosed with psoriatic arthriti he says his gold career will not be affected in the long term. However the illness actually brought him a new endoresment as a spokesperson for the makers of Enbrel, the drug he uses!

David Beckham - $40 million – Football (Soccer)

David Beckham’s sporting ability has sadly become secondary to his good looks and being the face of anyone who can wave enough cash has made him highly profitable year on year. Of course he does a lot of good things too such as opening soccer academies.

No. 7 Cristiano Ronaldo - $38 million - Soccer

26 million fans on Facebook! Ronaldo is a popular man. I am currently in Egypt and I can tell you almost every young man wants to be him so that kind of presence and brand obviously contribute to his world wide earning success.

Alex Rodriguez - $35 million - Baseball

Baseball players tend to hold the biggest actual contracts in sports and A-Rod is one of the top. However he became an unsecured creditor from the bankruptcy filing of the Texas Rangers! They shouldn’t have signed him for a staggering $252 million back in 2000!

Michael Schumacher - $34 million – F1 Racing

I am not sure he should have returned only placing no9 overall last season. However his bank manager may disagree with me as he came back as the highest earner, through endoresments, in the sport of F1.

Bad company culture

Leave a reply

Bad company culture – Some companies are just bad to the bones, the culture creates an atomosphere where only the cruel can thrive and the good are trodden down as though they are weak. If you find yourself in this trap it can be hard to wriggle out or to resist joining the herd just to survive!

Bad company culture, what makes it?

So how does a company gain a ‘bad culture’? Here are my thoughts.

It always starts from the top, maybe not the very top but somewhere up there. Managers may have been there since the early days or been thrown into their high chairs because of their qualifications or previous performance. In my experience these guys set the standards. Of course it is possible for only certain parts of a company to be infected and that can bring hope but if it’s riddled all the way through there may be no fix but to leave!

In my eyes it’s the lack of caring for one’s life outside of work where things start to go bad. A company should be more about output and profit and should consider it’s employees as people. Putting names up on the board as “top salesman” or “top performing” and having others measure themselves against that is a terrible start.

Bad company culture

Many companies with bad cultures have gotten to a point where people are mocked for leaving the office on time. Where photos of family on a desk are not seen and lunch breaks are for the weak. These kind of places attract a core of money orientated hard nosed, sometimes hard partying, frat boys and girls where the only intention is to outdo each other. Of course this leads to backstabbing being the norm and final numbers being the only thing anyone cares about.

Not everyone playing the game is or started bad. Many people join these kind of bad cultured places with the right mindset but as they start to sink they can only keep themselves afloat by joining the ‘gang’ and playing the nasty game. Those who don’t often won’t last or are demoted (maybe not officially demoted but not included for sure!) to dogsbody like jobs and are the subject of gossip.

If you find yourself in these surroundings I urge you to not try to thrive by throwing away your morals. Leave on time if it is fair. Put your family first, cover your desk with their photos. Be as efficient as you can and go through company protocol if bullying or harassment happens, bring the law in if it’s illegal and don’t stand for it. Of course in the mean time keep your head down, do your work and work as hard as you possibly can to find a less disease ravaged company.

Good luck and please share your thoughts in the comments below.

How to Handle Getting Fired

Leave a reply

How to Handle Getting Fired - Most people aren’t prepared to deal with getting fired and therefore don’t know how to handle it. It can feel utterly humiliating. There’s nothing worse than being told by your boss that you don’t quite have what it takes to do your job, or having some sort of stupid incident be the impetus to you losing your job.

How to Handle Getting Fired

So, how do you handle getting fired?

Stay calm. This is, of course, easier said than done. Still, it’s important to take a few deep breaths and keep it together as best you can. The calmer you are, the easier it will be for you to keep moving forward.
Negotiate your severance package. According to CNN Money, it’s important to NEVER accept your company’s initial severance package. You have leverage in this situation, so use it! Arrange for a negotiation session or hire an attorney to help you.
Line up your references, update your resume. Don’t take longer than a day or two to get back on the horse! It’s important that you keep momentum. If you wait too long, it could get very complicated.
Start the job hunt immediately. Get back out there– the economy is too lousy to waste any time.

Office Etiquette Rules

Office Etiquette Rules - Office etiquette is made up rules or “dos” and “don’ts”. For the most part what is polite to do at the office is fairly straightforward– all the good manners your mother and teachers taught you are fair game.

Still, there are some rules of the office place that you didn’t learn growing up. Let’s take a look at what is commonly accepted as workplace Dos and Don’ts to help you stand out as a respectable employee to your boss and your colleagues.

Office Etiquette Rules

Like I said before, none of this is particularly shocking or new. You’re likely familiar with what is and isn’t acceptable in the workplace. But, hey, a refresher never hurt anyone!

Be courteous, respectful and kind to your co-workers.

Be neat, organized and on-time.

Take responsibility for your actions– both good and bad.

Help others when they’re in need– they’re likely to return the favor down the road!

Dress appropriately.

Your share of the work and maybe a little bit more.

Go above and beyond in all of your work.

Keep an open mind.

DON’T

Start fights with your co-workers. Always nip all conflict in the bud as soon as it arises.

Be afraid to get recognition for your hard work.

Engage in gossip.

Tell off-color jokes. Ever.

Don’t brown-nose your superiors. It’s icky.

Procrastinate on projects.

Lose site of your career goals.

Get caught up in a dead-end job.

Be afraid to take on intimidating new challenges.

Accuse other people of not doing their job well.

Remind your boss of their shortcomings.

It’s important to learn the do’s and don’ts of the office place because it can help you get ahead and make meaningful connections with the people you work with. Believe it or not, being an excellent employee is good for the whole company. It can boost morale, keep people’s perspectives in line by setting a good example, and help move your career forward.

Definition Loan to Value Ratio Site?go= What is loan to value ratio and how does it affect you as a prospective homeowner?

The Loan to Value ratio, or LTV, indicates the percentage of the property’s value that is mortgaged. To calculate this you can divide the appraised value of the property by the mortgage amount.

Definition Loan to Value Ratio Site?go=

A high Loan to Value ratio is over 80%– a low Loan to Value ratio is below 80%. When you have a lower LTV ratio, then you are less of a risk because you are borrowing less money.

How to effectively complain at work

Leave a reply

How to effectively complain at work - Filling a complaint at work effectively can be tricky and you don’t want to be labelled as someone who is constantly in complain mode, bullied out of ever saying what you feel or just dealing with injustice. Be smart and professional and you should be able to pull it off.

How to effectively complain at work

Probably the biggest reason people don’t file just claims in the work place is that they are in a culture that bullies people not to. This kind of environment is common and helps a boss establish a strong hold on the people they treat as ‘beneath them’ with minions who dish out the bullying and seriously terrible behaviors all around. It may only be subtle but it creates a terrible work environment worthy of complaint in itself.

Complainers often get labelled and mocked as if they ‘can’t take it’ or are just a whinging child in the hard life but the fact is you go to work to earn a salary. You don’t deserve to be trodden on, take crap that is outside of your duties or be stressed for no reason. Any complaint or misconduct is worthy of a genuine complaint and needs to be fixed and hopefully if you handle the situation correctly you can rise above the bullying and get some effective action against your issues.

So how do you do it?

It all starts with some organisation. You need to be clear on every step and follow official guidelines.

Start recording everything – Keep a diary of events related to the complaint. Write down dates, times and who is involved.

Find out your companies official procedure – All corporates will have a handbook with official procedures. Ask your boss for a copy if it’s not accessible and if they refuse go to human resources and ask them, if they refuse find someone above or unrelated and ask them. At this stage you are not complaining so don’t do so, just say you want to be clear on company policy regarding certain scenarios.

Related: Best Ways to Communicate to Your Boss

Don’t rise to anything – You may be seen as plotting something by walking around professional and writing stuff down, don’t rise to any taunts or people trying to pry into your business. Keep being professional and keep doing your job.

Schedule a meeting with your boss about the issues – Once you have enough evidence of everything ask to meet with your boss. If the boss is part of the issue then be careful here and I would audio record and take written notes of the meeting, of course inform the boss of the recording and put the recorder (phone, Dictaphone whatever) in plain sight.

Next up, follow the official procedures to go higher – You may find your issues actually being resolved by now but in many cases they may have gotten worse because of the meetings you have had with your boss. Keep recording incidents in your diary and building up a case file and then follow official procedures to climb further up the chain. By now you will have a good solid case and the company should be in a position to try to deal with your concerns. You may keep finding yourself having to go higher and higher until you are above the terrible culture that caused your complaints in the first place but it will give you purpose at work. Just don’t let it consume you and keep on doing your job as well as you can.

Good luck, don’t give up or shut up and fight for your right to a stress free comfortable work life.

Characteristics of a good boss

Leave a reply

Characteristics of a good boss – Being a boss and a good boss at that isn’t easy and certain characteristics will help anyone succeed. We often talk about bad bosses but what about how awesome bosses do it.

Characteristics of a good boss

Being a good boss isn’t as simple as being pals with the people you work with. There are many elements that go together to make the package complete and working hard to grow in all these areas will help anyone who wants to be the best boss they can be.

Drive – Of course drive and passion is an absolute essential for success. You need to be able to carve out a vision for yourself, the projects you are working on and the company / department you are working for.

Organization – There is nothing worse than a boss who doesn’t have a clue what is going on! The best bosses know all the intricate details of what is happening and if they don’t they can find out quickly. Knowing where your towel is will make or break you.

Compassion – This could be the most important thing because at the end of the day a boss manages a team of real humans, not machines. It’s important to understand people, accept that not everything will always run perfect and be understanding enough to accomodate. Your compassion should rub off on the team. If someone is sick, or has a family issue you need to roll your sleeves up and get back in the pit. When people see you care they will care too and your team will get through any issues.

Humor – Life can be a riot and humor keeps spirits high in the workplace even when times are tough. Be careful not to end up like David Brent though!

Related: Tips for being a good supervisor

Sternness - You need to be able to tell people what needs to be done, nicely. Being stern when work needs to be organised and handed out will be respected if people realise it’s related to the work needing to be done.

Confidence – Shying away from handling issues makes you that boss that hides away at the first sign of trouble. You are supposed to be leading an operation and people expect that of you so confidence to stand up and face anything is paramount.

Balance – No characteristic is worth anything without the right balance with the others. Be too friendly but not driven and the department will fall apart. Be stern and not compassionate and people will hate you and see you as cold. A bold, strong, confident but approachable boss is what we all want and what you would want above you too.

Please share anything else you would like to add.

Ways to Reduce Stress at Work

Leave a reply

Ways to Reduce Stress at Work - For most people, finding ways to reduce stress at work is absolutely crucial. Time and time again, research has shown that stress can cause serious health problems by weakening your immune system. The high levels of cortisol that run through your veins every time you become stressed can make you susceptible to colds, heart disease, diabetes and even cancer.

You may have a high pressure job with a job that pushes your buttons. Or maybe you are surrounded by coworkers whose presence makes your blood pressure skyrocket. Either way, it’s time to make some changes in your everyday work routine to reduce the level of stress you experience. That way you can be happier and healthier for the long run.

Ways to Reduce Stress at Work

Reduce Stress by Eating Right at Work!

What you eat can help you beat stress. Below is a list of the top Foods That Reduce Stress:

1) Peppermint - Peppermint in itself is very soothing and relaxing when ingested as tea or in dessert dishes.

2) Leafy Greens - Many leafy greens like Swiss Chard and spinach contain high levels of magnesium which can lower your levels of the stress hormone Cortisol.

3) Almonds - Almonds are a delicious and full of B and E vitamins which are good for you and for combating stress.

4) Whole Grains - Your body needs to fuel when dealing with stress– it can’t be running on empty. That’s why it’s important to go for whole grains in your breads and pastas.

5) Fish - Eating fish that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids can potentially help lower your adrenaline levels, making your feel calmer. Great sources of omega-3s include sardines, salmon and tuna.

As a whole, foods that relieve stress should be rich in the following: Magnesium, zinc, vitamin E, vitamin B2. Also consider indulging in protein rich foods to help give you an energy boost.

Eating well is the best way for you to get through stressful times. Don’t fall to temptation and binge on sugary or fatty treats– they may help you feel better initially but won’t do you any favors in the long run.

Laugh More at the Office

Take some time to listen to standup (Pandora has many channels devoted to jokes) or just make it a habit to talk about funny things with your coworkers. Why? Because laughter has incredible stress-busting benefits!

“Laughter has also been shown to have beneficial effects on various other aspects of biochemistry. For example, laughter has been shown to lead to reductions in stress hormones such as cortisol and epinephrine. When laughing the brain also releases endorphins that can relieve some physical pain. Laughter also boosts the number of antibody-producing cells and enhances the effectiveness of T-cells, leading to a stronger immune system.“

Get Up From Your Desk and Move!

Being sedentary all day can exacerbate your stress levels. That’s why it’s better to get moving whenever you can! Go for a walk on your lunch break or make sure you start/end the day at the gym. Studies have shown that people who get more exercise are less likely to feel the impact of stress at work.
