What is addiction?

To understand it, think, how bad do you really feel, and how good would it need to feel, for you NOT to give it up (i.e., induced good feeling relative to the bad)? 

If "u'd feel good enough in comparison (without the addictive)", there wouldn't be no problem.

The all-in-one e-whitepaper for entrepreneurials

See Way to Wealth, by Brian Tracy.
One of the most important business skills you will ever learn is called “Zero-Based Thinking.” In zero- based thinking, you continually ask this question, “If I were not now doing what I am doing, knowing what I now know, would I get into it again today?”

Is there any part of your business, your product, price, promotion, place, packaging, positioning or people that, knowing what you now know, you would not start up again today, if you had to do it over?

It takes tremendous courage to admit that you have made a mistake, or that you are doing the wrong thing based on the current market. But facts are facts. If you would not get into it again today, your only question is, “How do I get out of this, and how fast?”

The only measure of any business activity is this: Is it working? Are you getting results? Are you generating sales, revenues and positive cash flow? If you are not, be prepared to change or even abandon the product, service or activity.
Nuff said, hands down.

What Is Payroll Automation?



Payroll management [1] consists of several stages and procedures for which the employer is legally responsible. Payroll Automation can be accomplished using software that manages the payroll workflows and automates payroll calculations including complex labor agreement and tax rules.

Payroll automation saves time and money and reduces mistakes, as information that is required to calculate and pay wages does not need to be manually copied between different systems several times over or moved from place to place.

Payroll software can be installed on the hard drive of a computer, or can be a browser-based, online cloud service that requires no installation or user maintenance.

For IT resourcing, you would ofcourse like to have also an integrated automated billing solution together with automated payroll processing.
