Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are the backbone of the economy. These companies provide a lot of jobs, but they are often under pressure to keep costs down.  For this reason, they usually go without basic insurance cover that they need to protect themselves and their employees against unforeseen incidents that could lead to costly legal cases or fines.  One such type of insurance is public liability insurance, which protects your company from any damage caused by an accident involving one of your employees or customers. What is Public Liability Insurance? Public liability insurance is a type of insurance that protects you against any legal action taken against you by a third party. If someone is injured in your business premises or by something produced by your business (such as food), they can file a claim against your public liability policy and make a successful claim for damages. If you’re an SME, it’s especially important to have good public liability cover in place....

  Before starting any business, let alone a construction company, it’s important to understand the work and tools that will be required going into it. There’s a lot of preparation involved and once you’ve begun, the work will only increase. Even as an experienced businessman, there are a few important things to keep in mind. If you’re ready to launch your construction start-up, here are some tips to remember. Budget Carefully Creating a budget for a start-up business is a serious task. You’ll need to consider your start-up costs before you launch and also develop a projection of what your ongoing and maintenance expenses will look like.

  Your heart races, your muscles tense, and you may even begin to sweat. You feel anger, aggression, resentment, humiliation, or annoyance. Someone offended you, mistreated you, or caused you pain, and you’ll never let yourself forget. And therein lies the problem. YOU never let YOURSELF forget. You relive the event, again and again, ruminating on the resulting thoughts and emotions, causing yourself undue excessive and prolonged grief and suffering without causing any distress to the focus of your grudge.

It is the recurring process of recalling past events as well as the thoughts, emotions, and physical reactions you felt during or shortly after the event. You feel disappointed about unmet expectations. You feel victimized and seek understanding and compassion you believe were withheld. Although a grudge feels uncomfortable, many people are unable or unwilling to let go of thoughts and emotions, leaving themse...

  Holding grudges and hatred for others is clearly not healthy for anyone. The Buddha said, Anger, with its poisoned source and fevered climax, is murderously sweet. However, he then appropriately referred to the significant downside of staying angry:  Holding onto anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned. These fascinating and complex images describe an emotion that carries great pain, hurt but sometimes pleasure. With such complexities and given such overwhelmingly strong emotions and related conditioned responses, how do we overcome these barriers to heal and move on, knowing that anger is not good for us? The most effective way is to turn within because we have available to us an infinite supply of love and compassion to draw upon to help resolve issues that are usually sourced and projected outwards from our own internal conflicts. The Art of Letting Go: Forgiveness Luckily, we have the light of awar...
