Investment Advice

Direct your energy into the loving, joyful experiences you are choosing; invest your energy in that which benefits the All, in Love. The returns are the change in the world you’ve been hoping for.

It is well past time to stop treating “work life” and “organizational behavior” as something separate from other aspects of our lives; as if they were different from Life, itself.
It is those divisions that people create in their lives and thinking, that are the source of the stress and disease that are so rampant in “modern” societies. The work place is one more aspect of our life experiences. Let’s stop propagating harmful, hurtful theories and rules and teachings that encourage the continuing, disjointed, unbalanced approach to business, organizations, even government. Let us develop and evolve a holistic, healthy environment that is effective and beneficial for ALL involved.

The Small Business Administration has begun offering interest-free loans of up to $35,000 to small businesses through SBA-approved lenders.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the stimulus bill signed into law by President Obama in February 2009, included provisions intended to support small businesses during the economic meltdown. The American Recovery Capital (ARC) loan program was established as part of the Act, but the loans just became available in June. They are intended as short-term relief to viable small businesses facing immediate financial hardship to help them ride out the current uncertain economic times and return to profitability.

According to the SBA,

ARC loans are deferred-payment loans of up to $35,000, available to established, viable, for-profit small businesses that need short-term help to make their principal and interest payments on existing and qualifying business debt. ARC loans are 100 percent guaranteed by the SBA and have no SBA fees associated with them.

ARC loans will be made by commercial lenders, not SBA directly. For more information on
ARC loans, visit www.sba.gov
