Sam Ovens and the E-Learning Experience

Taylor

Sam Ovens, who is the entrepreneur behind Ovens International Consulting, is a man who knows all about facing failure and starting over. Oven’s compelling story is an example of how far someone can go in business through hard work, humility and commitment to an original vision.

Today, Ovens International Consulting is a million dollar online business consultancy managed by Ovens. The business is comprised of consulting and training programs called E-Learning, operated out of New York. Though Ovens rise to success seems singular, he is the first to admit that it all started just four years ago, from a place of humbling failure.

Moving Back Home

Ovens is originally from New Zealand, and four years ago, in 2012, he decided to quit working as a hired hand in corporate America and go out on his own. He moved back home and lived in his parent’s garage. In his first year as an entrepreneur he launched two companies, both of which failed. He fell into debt and all seemed lost. The key for Ovens, however, was his unwillingness to give up. He made the choice to learn from his failures, and he had an insight.

What Ovens finally saw was that there was a huge gap in modern business as far as what people knew about using the Internet as an online tool. Ovens realized that many business people were being left behind due to this gap in knowledge, so he developed a model for advising and consulting businesses about how to really use the Internet to market their business. Eventually, his consulting work became a coaching program called E Learning.

Today, E Learning is based in New York and is a highly successful coaching and training empire. Ovens works as a business coach and advisor but his main focus is on managing E Learning. His experience in turning a string of failures into a massively successful business concern is an inspiring story that continues to motivate him to further achievement.

Educational Consultant Michele Frazier Gives Examples of How To Make Schools A Safer Environment

Taylor

In the more recent years, schools have become a prime target for crime turning them into a generally unsafe environment for learning. Thirty percent of the children reported being harassed, more than 75 percent confess to knowing how to get drugs with another 75 percent of understudies in high school and middle school admit to the likelihood of them bringing a weapon onto school grounds.

Michele Frazier, an educational consultant, believes that tough times do require tough action and has a plan that, if put into effect, would make all schools nationwide up to 30% safer than they are currently. “Although it may sound crazy, what choice do we have? All middle schools and high schools should have students register every summer to go to school,” says Michele Frazier. “We don’t get into colleges or jobs without applying. Why should these be different? There should also be background checks on these children and their families.”

David R. Gray, Jr. Discusses Importance of Education in Property Investment

It’s hard to argue that a strong education is anything but exceptionally beneficial, and an education is undeniably critical in serving as the foundation for just about every endeavor an individual will go on to pursue. It should therefore not be much of a surprise that David R. Gray, Jr. would be such a strong proponent of continuing educational programs aimed at assisting investors in understanding the most effective strategies with regard to real estate properties and tax lien investments.

According to Gray, many investors make the mistake of only developing a cursory understanding of the nature of property investing and end up experiencing what could be charitably described as mixed results. As a lawyer and a property investor, Gray has firsthand experience regarding the immeasurable benefits of ongoing educational efforts. Consistent success in both endeavors has only encouraged Gray to both pursue and provide additional educational opportunities, recognizing that a successful outcome does not mean there is nothing left to be learned or nothing left to be improved upon.

Gray’s advice is clearly directed at the specific endeavor of property investment, but it is the kind of practical advice that can be easily applied to any situation or circumstance. There is simply no profession or field in which an ongoing commitment to education will be anything but exceptionally beneficial, and there is no sensible reason why any individual should ignore the immeasurable benefits associated with a commitment to pursuing ongoing educational opportunities.

Randi Glazer Offers Expert Insight on Travel, Clothing and Sustainability

Taylor

Randi Glazer is quite aware of the good intentions of consumers as they make decisions with regard to clothing purchases and vacation destinations. In the majority of these instances, consumers will try to thoughtfully consider the environmental impact of their decision while also accounting for their own budgetary limitations. This is where things tend to go awry, Glazer points out, as many consumers simply fail to consider the long-term implications of their purchases relating to both travel and clothing.

From an economic standpoint, consumers tend to favor clothing that is relatively inexpensive and is within the budget they have set for themselves. If the inexpensive clothing carries a “Fair Trade” designation or is made from eco-friendly fibers or fabrics, then the consumer is likely to walk away feeling as though they have made a positive contribution to worldwide sustainability efforts without having to go beyond their pre-set spending limit. From an intuitive standpoint, this seems like a rational perspective, but there is a much better way to go about selecting clothing while generating long-term savings and reducing the carbon footprint of the textile industry.

The problem with purchasing low-cost clothing is that it tends to be of relatively poor quality and therefore does not last very long. This means that the textile industry has to produce a greater volume of clothing to meet consumer needs, while the consumer has to repeatedly purchase new clothes to replace those that have become worn out. The more ideal option is make a greater initial outlay for high-quality clothing made from materials likely to hold up even under the stress of frequent use. This is likely to seem counterintuitive at first, but it should be clear that the benefits are based on adopting a long-term perspective.

The same is true for air travelers, as paying a greater rate for a flight that uses a form of biofuel as opposed to traditional jet fuel is the better choice in terms of meeting the goal for reducing carbon emissions, not to mention the fact that there is a very real cost when it comes to flying with an airline that keeps its prices down by maximizing its volume of passengers per flight. Whatever is saved on the flight will be surely be lost as a result of the need to spend time recovering from a cramped and restless flight.
