			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you had to choose between being self-employed and a regular job, which one will you choose?</p>
<p>Obviously, it has to be the first one. The advantages of running business on your own are flexibility and that you are a master of your own de<a href="http://www.miagoenterprises.com/"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-47" title="teaser2" src="http://www.chocolatepepper.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/teaser2.jpg" alt="teaser2" width="192" height="134" /></a>stiny. Besides, you can work from home, you need not have to sport formal office attire, you can decide your working hours, and, above all, you need not be a victim of office politics. And the best thing of all is that you can spend quality time with family and eat together.</p>
<p>No need to mention the saying – the family that eats together stays together. Consider the tax advantages that come with running your own business. There is a lot you can claim as deductions such as eating out on business trip, mileage, fax/printers, long distance expenses and travel expenses. On top of it, your hard work will pay off at some point of time and subsequently you start earning more than what you used to from a regular job.<br />

<p>Like you, there are several people, including those on a regular job yearn to do something on their own. Of them, there may be many who have business ideas. However, only few know how to use it. For instance, there are some who want to head a Non-Profit Organization, create opportunities for like-minded people and make life better for others.</p>
<p>Likewise, <a title="Miago Enterprise, small business services" href="http://www.miagoenterprises.com/">Miago Enterprises</a> has been providing all kinds of services and programs to small businesses, non-profit organizations and corporations for more than 3 years.

<p>I’m a big believer in recycling and re-using materials anyway we can in an effort to save money and save resources. Oh yeah, and I love coffee! That’s why I’m finding myself drawn to real bead jewelry made from real coffee beans!</p>
<p>These pieces look great and are very affordable! I can’t believe that someone didn’t think of this before! The coffee beans range from light to dark brown due to different roasting times, and they’re beautifully arranged with colored and crystal beads into some truly unique pieces. The beads are specially processed so they are waterproof and sturdy enough to be used as jewelry. That’s why I’m finding myself drawn to <a href="http://www.coffee-wear.com">Coffee Wear (www.coffee-wear.com)</a>.<span id="more-29"></span></p>

<p>I also love the fact that each jewelry set has a unique coffee name! I really like the Raspberry Mocha and the Colombiano designs! Even better, most of the jewelry sets appear to have matching necklaces, bracelets, earrings and more! And for you jewelry store owners, they have wholesale pricing if you want to offer these coffee cool pieces in your own store.</p>

<p>Most of my friends have pets.  Some are more into their pets than others.  Mostly the ones without kids are the ones that  buy little outfits for their pets.<span id="more-9"></span></p>
<p>If you do have a pet there are a few service that I an recommends .</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caninecomforts.us/"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-13" title="caninecomforts" src="http://www.chocolatepepper.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/caninecomforts.jpg" alt="caninecomforts" width="190" height="28" /></a>The first is a dog groomer in Bulverde, Texas. <a href="http://www.caninecomforts.us/">Canine Comforts </a>is operated by Roger Wiseman.  Roger has an holistic approach to dog grooming.  He is know for his knowledge of putting the dogs comfort first.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many of us were forced to take music lessons when we were kids. A few of us enjoyed it and play to this day.  While others of us were able to talk our parents out of making us take the lessons.</p>
<div id="attachment_6" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 185px"><a href="http://www.mikemitchellmusic.com/"><img class="size-medium wp-image-6" title="mikes-cover" src="http://www.chocolatepepper.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/mikes-cover-250x245.jpg" alt="mikes-cover" width="175" height="172" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Mike Mitchell Music</p></div>
<p>Personally, I took piano lessons for a while.  I really didn&#8217;t enjoy it much and my parents didn&#8217;t give me a hard time about quiting.  Looking back, I wish they put up a little more resistance with letting me out of it so easily.<span id="more-5"></span></p>
<p>It wasn&#8217;t until later on in live that I realized that I love classical music, but really do not like piano music.  I&#8217;d much rather learn the violin since that is what I enjoyed listening to.</p>
<p>So, when it was my turn to get my kid in music lessons, I started taking violin lessons with him!</p>
<p>I would recommend going to a smaller instructor where they might let you both  take the lessons together at first and then split later.</p>

<p>In Floyd, Virginia, <a title="Mike Mitchell Music" href="http://www.mikemitchellmusic.com/">Mike Mitchell Music</a> is popular.  Mike has a few other instructors, but he is the main guy.  He actually encourages the parents to be involved in the lesson so they can help the child at home during the week.</p>
<p>There are hundreds of local music instructors that offer a friendly atmosphere for learning music.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t wait any longer.  Pick up an instrument and learn to play!</p>
