HOW TO IDENTIFY GOOD AND BAD DEBTS

HOW TO IDENTIFY GOOD AND BAD DEBTS

DEBTS

Whether your debt is good or bad depends on the type of debt, the reason you owe it, and whether you can afford to repay it. When used the right way, debt can help you manage your finances more effectively, leverage your wealth, buy things you need, and handle emergencies.



GOOD DEBTS

A good debt should also be one that the debtor can afford to repay on time and especially the interest rate is low.
Examples of good debt are mortgage, emergency medical, property, study or business loans etc
 
BAD DEBTS

These are often debts incurred for purchases that are useless, or for depreciating assets that will not produce an income. Advance payment can be dangerous as well.
Example of buying an 60-inch TV Set or Unused Sports cars etc.


TIPS: –
*  A credit card debt is not bad debts if you able to pay all off during receiving the statement.

The Then and Now of AKS TRAINING CENTRE

I remember the first time I went into the empty shop lots thats eventually will be my AKS Training Centre Office as well as Setting up for an In-House Training Location. 
The Room has been left empty for about 10 years and located 1st floor Near to AEON IPOH Station 18.

When I first walk in. It’s Like  OMG!!! The Floor, The Ceiling, The Wash room was all full of Dust, and the Yellowish Stain on the ceiling!!!!    And NOW!!!    I’m fainted.. !! 

However I’m glad this is still my own property. So I decided to start doing some Clean up with my little sister. For those of you have not clean or done dusting for your own house or room, I will strongly recommend you to do it ASAP :) .

This is my very first time that actually trying to wash the floor by splashing the whole bucket of water and hopefully it will push all the dirt direct to the drain. Well!!   Its not actually what I expected. The dust was eventually “Push” all the water aside and them “The Dust” still remain at the same place. Now we have to brush the floors with the water and broom.


After the Floor Drying up, We put it some of the furniture's that i have bought and ordered. 
AFTER WASHING THE FLOOR AND FURNITURE'S IS IN


Now we have to plan when will be the right time for us to go and paint the whole places with new paint. 

Recently, I have order some of Nippon Paint from a friend of mine and collected Sealer and Paint from his shop. I’m eventually have no idea what kind of specification of the Paint should be used as long i know  its white. So, he recommend me to used this Brilliant White “Satin Glo”

SATIN GLO ( BRILLIANT WHITE)


My Family member was very supportive in helping and giving all kinds of contact and suggestion on the partition, Air – Conditioner, Types of fan and etc. I' lucky to get 2 friends for assisting in Painting the Training room. 

Due to we are not an professionals painter, we used 2 full days (from 8 am till 2am) just to paint the whole place with only 4 persons. Now we know that its not easy at all!!! And I’m sure the Professional Painter can get it done just 1 ½ days just with only 2 person.

Anyhow, I’m glad with all the support from everyones that I know and eventually here’s the official AKS TRAINING CENTRE

TO SERVED THE BOSS OR TO SERVED THE GUESTS FIRST?

TO SERVED THE BOSS OR TO SERVED THE GUESTS FIRST?

Most of the Company staff "especially" in Service industry were practice in serving the boss not the guests. See the following example and you mark yourself.

1. The boss wants a Bananas, The staff find it from everywhere until they get it. For the guests? I'm sorry it’s not available.

2. Did any of bosses always ask the staff to perform their personal things e.g. Sent my laundry, Help me purchase some vegetables from market, Sent my broken TV to workshop Etc.

3. The Restaurant was busy, being a owners, usually we skip from dinning in as this will create a tens to the staff. It will be more worst if you demand all your food and drinks to be served first rather than the guests.

We believe in Staff will work much self motivating, energetic and more loyal if you just give a little sense on serve the guests first not me.

PS : if you need all above, get yourself an Personal Assistance..

Do you agree?

This Is why Your Staff De-motivated

What’s make your staff de - motivated? 

Follow the story and you might just get it!.

There’s a story between the Staff VS Guests VS Management in a Hospitality line.

On a good sunny day, the staff spotted the guests trying to “pack “ some of the hotel belongings into their luggage while checking out. The staff taken their initiative to inform the guests that, the particular items was payable if they want (with the mentality of company benefit first!) .

However, the guests was angry and make a direct complaint to the manager at the Front Office claim that the staff was rude!

The end result of this complaint, The guests get free meals while waiting for checking out, and also a 20% discount from the overall rooms bills.

The staff?? Was served with an warning letter for being rude with the guests.

Now, if you are the staff, what will you do infuture if you encounter the same things? guests is packing your hotel stuff.
