Steel workshops are steel buildings that you can use as your own personal space. It is your creative space. It is your space to turn your music as loud as you want, pound with a hammer as loud as you want, and sing at the top of your lungs. You don't have to worry about disturbing anyone. Most of all, you have privacy to let your creative juices flow.

Some may associate steel workshops with . Usually when someone is in their workshop they are making a rocking chair, a table, or a dog house. That isn't always the case, though. Many people use steel workshops for . Most of all, they use them to enjoy projects that they want to complete.

Uses for steel workshops

Steel workshops are great for woodworking, which is what someone would expect the workshop to be used for. Someone who builds things always has a workshop to complete their projects. However, there are other uses. Those other uses include:

- As a metal workshop -- If someone is going to work with wood, it only makes sense that steel workshops would be used for metal working. This keeps everything in one place so that are not in the way of children or animals.

- As a -- This is great for the auto mechanic wishing to bring their business home. They can set up a workshop right next to their home and literally work from home. Steel workshops also make a great addition to an existing workshop, making these buildings great for expanding businesses.

- To create artwork -- Artists need private places to express themselves. Artwork needs a place to be displayed, so this can keep a lot of clutter out of the house. No one can tell an artist what to do with their workshop. Artists can create stained glass, sculptures, and so many other art forms.

- To use as an office -- Those who work at home may not have room within their home or they may not wish to work inside the home. Steel workshops can very easily be turned into an office. This is a great way to keep work out of the house. It is almost like going to work each day and then coming back home to the family.

As you can see, the possibilities are endless when it comes to steel workshops. You can be creative in how you utilize one. You don't have to use any of the common uses above. Some people simply use them as a quiet place to do other hobbies. Photographers are a great example because they can convert steel workshops into dark rooms.

Durable and reliable

So why use steel workshops for your hobbies or work? Use them because they are durable and convenient. You don't have to worry about the elements damaging what is inside. You don't have to worry about the wind compromising the structure. You don't even have to worry about a lot of noise pollution. At one time, barns and wooden buildings were used as workshops. They would develop leaky roofs and would become damaged during storms. That is not the case anymore. You can continue working if a storm moves through. You also don't have to worry about someone breaking in when you leave it. You can lock it up and even install an alarm system if you wish. Look at it as your little home away from your house. It is your place to feel comfortable and be productive.Manufacturer of self-supporting and pre-engineered metal buildings.

How about making an additional $48,000 in year two?

You can, and conducting workshops on is a smart way to do it. In fact, it might be just the ticket.

I conducted my investing workshops about a year ago. I am now working with three I met at those workshops. So far, I have earned $14,700 from buyer-side from these three investors. In addition, I've received four listings from these investors: One lot listed for $155,000 (sold), one townhome listed for $180,000, and two single-family homes listed for $307,000 and $315,000.

Even more exciting is that each of these three investors is likely to use my services to buy or sell at least two properties per year, year after year.

For every four workshops I conduct, I meet at least one new investor who wants to work with me. One year of workshops has led me to three investors, each of whom has completed two transactions with me. Conservatively, these six transactions could be worth $24,000 in commissions by the time the dust settles.

It gets even better. During the next year of workshops, I expect to develop relationships with at least three more investors, plus I will still be working with my previous investors. During this second year, I should make about $48,000 in commissions from these investors. (These are conservative numbers; I will probably make much more.)

I began these "free to the public" workshops after a asked me to participate in his real estate investing workshops. I had been off and on since 1992 and my presence and input was a plus for him. Unfortunately, the mortgage broker didn't make enough money from the workshops and he stopped them after about six months.

While I worked with him, I learned how to make the presentations and how to advertise the workshops to ensure attendance. When the mortgage broker quit, I decided to conduct the workshops myself. I asked another agent and a different mortgage broker to help me, and we have been offering these workshops ever since.

We host investing workshops once a month, on a Saturday morning at 10, in our office. We provide refreshments of doughnuts, coffee, juice, and water. The workshops run for about an hour, and we usually have at least 15 people attend.

Using Microsoft Power Point, we present about 35 slides of real estate-related information. Our 35-slide presentation includes information on our local real estate market, what we expect to happen in real estate over the next 10 years, how to finance investment properties, the pros and cons of flipping fixer-uppers, what to look for in buy-and-hold real estate investing, and how to find good renters.

We follow the presentation with a question-and-answer period, during which we invite the audience to make an appointment with us to talk about their investing needs. We also offer them weekly e-mails of local foreclosed and fixer-upper properties if they provide us their e-mail and mailing addresses.

After the workshop, we usually talk to members of the audience, one on one, if they still have questions or just want to chat.

To get the word out on the workshops, we run a large display ad in the local "Thrifty Nickel" newspaper. The ad is a big old wordy thing, but it pulls in workshop participants like crazy, and it costs us only $77 per week to run. Our total cost to present one workshop is about $338: $308 for a one month run of the ad and $30 the refreshments. We don't pay anything for using our office space.

If you don't have any real estate investing experience, I feel sure an agent in your office does. Team up with that agent and a mortgage broker, work up a presentation, advertise your workshops, and you are in business. But don't expect instant gratification. Give the workshops enough time to pay off; at least one year.

This pattern of meeting new investors can grow year after year. I live in a small town; imagine what I could do with this concept in a larger city! So, don't let fear of public speaking or other personal obstacles stop you from creating steady, predictable income for your real estate business. You really can "speak and grow rich" by presenting workshops on real estate investing.

A workshop is an educational format where an expert shares information on a focused topic over a short period of time. Some workshops are intended to be simply informative while others involve more hands-on activities. Today there are many options for enjoying a workshop: you can attend workshops in person, view them on television or tape, or participate in an online workshop.

So now that you know what a workshop is you can see how this format can readily be adapted for writers. can cover the basics of writing, writing challenges, topics related to publication and , or specific research subjects. Some of these programs are featured as part of larger events, such as conferences, while some groups or individuals offer them as one-. Some organizations, institutes and educational programs offer workshops to their students or members while others open those workshops to the community at large.

Why would a writer want to attend a workshop? What benefit could it be?

Join the writing community. One of the strongest benefits you can receive from attending such a gathering is getting to know other writers. Writing is a and can be very lonely. Enjoying the company of other writers and talking about writing with people who really understand your joys and worries can be wonderfully energizing to you personally as well as your writing. You can also make contacts that may lead to support and growth of your writing or perhaps even professional advancement. You never know when the friend you make today might be in a position to recommend you to an editor or publisher down the road.

. No matter what level your writing career there are always lessons to be learned from other writers. Sometimes there are research strategies and shortcuts or perhaps it is a method for dealing with writer's block. You can learn market news and contacts as well as important information about reviewing contracts. Workshops are generally geared toward a specific genre or market niche and offer a wealth of specialized information depending on whether you write about crime or food.

Improve your craft. Generating new work or revising existing pieces is often a large part of attending a workshop. Sometimes you must bring something with you, create a project as part of the workshop or are inspired by the gathering itself. Sometimes talking with others or listening to the presenters causes you to suddenly rethink a stalled project or inspires a new one. Whatever the impetus there is definitely an increase in production after attending a workshop and that is the surest way to improve your word craft.

If you have not taken part in a writing workshop in the past then perhaps you might consider doing so in the near future so you can join the writing community, learn something new, and improve your craft.

The company offers earning potential to its independent representatives, who are known as crew members, by selling their exclusive line of collectibles at gatherings in various settings.

Noah's Ark Collectibles are sold by representatives at parties or gatherings in the home known as Home Workshops, or at Group Workshops that are usually held in places such as , schools, libraries, or through other organizations and programs that are geared toward children. The company also features a line of products that are sold through Huggable Home Party presentations for adults.

In addition to the unstuffed with their many outfits and coordinating accessories that are available through the Stuff-N-Fluff Workshops catalog, crew members may choose to sell the company's line of cosmetics especially designed for girls.

Introduced in 2006 through their Bella Bee Workshops, girl's cosmetics and body products are sold instead of the plush animals and accessories. Other products that representative may also choose to sell include the newly introduced Noah Baby Collectibles through the company's Collectors Club.

Crew members may choose from two different earning opportunities referred to as either a Personal Business, or a Leadership Business, although some representatives choose to do both simultaneously.

With the Personal , Noah's Ark Animal Workshop representatives earn money by booking and conducting workshops where they present products and act as the party's host. Besides scheduling and conducting workshops, the Leadership Business option will also require representatives to recruit or bring on other members who can also begin their own businesses to increase earnings.

Leadership Business representatives will then receive a part of their team's total sales in the form of , with those percentages increasing as the downline lengthens up to 10% for each team member. This option is best suited for those who plan on expanding their business by recruiting many new crew members who will then also recruit other representatives.

The average gathering through the Noah's Ark Animal Workshop generally lasts about an hour with an average total of 20 children, and representatives have the potential to earn 35% to 45% in personal sales, depending on the total amount sold.

Members must order products from the company at wholesale prices, and then resell to their customers at retail prices during the Noah's Ark Animal Workshops, but aren't required to carry a traditional inventory.

New crew members receive team support from other existing members when conducting their first workshops, as well as having the option of attending conventions and training events held by the company.

The starter kit that new representatives must purchase for $129 after completing a membership application contains training materials featuring three CDs outlining how to market and book Stuff-N-Fluff Workshops, as well as how to conduct the Noah's Ark Animal Workshop gatherings.

Also included in the starter kit are three unstuffed plush animals with three outfits, business supplies such as catalogs, reservation postcards, promotion postcards, flyers, recruiting brochures, a member's handbook, four Bella Bee Glitter Glam products and workshop supplies.You can read our Unbiased, expert review of Noah's Ark Animal Workshop from Brian Garvin and Jeff West at MLM Review Kings.

The first and most obvious way to make money doing workshops and seminars is to charge a registration fee. In many cases, if you're doing the seminar through an , you'll only get a certain percentage of the registration dues. The average is 50% but there are other programs that pay their instructors an hourly wage and in those cases, you won't benefit at all from a good turnout.

You can also hold workshops at tradeshows and conferences. In those cases, there usually aren't any dues to speak of. Attendees pay a lump sum to attend the tradeshow or conference and then have access to all the being provided. Speakers normally do not get paid for such engagements but established are often paid to headline these events.

Lastly, you can book s at community organizations like the Rotary or . You won't get paid for these events either but it's a great way to get in front of people. Besides, you can always position yourself for the other two ways of making money.

The second money-making strategy is to use the speaking opportunity to position yourself for consulting contracts or jobs. Let's look at a . If you're a Real Estate Agent offering a program about buying your first home, you could easily get new clients in the process. Likewise, if you're a Marketing Consultant, you could end up with consulting jobs from people who heard you speak. In either case, you make money as a direct result of the speaking engagement.

The third way to make money is to sell products. In fact, information products have become the mainstay of the public speaking circuits. We're talking about books, CDs, DVDs and manuals, all designed to train you to achieve one thing or another. The beauty of these products is that they cost almost nothing to produce but they can be sold for hundreds of dollars. Speakers all over the world are speaking for free as long as they have an opportunity to sell their products at the back of the room.

There's an added dimension to this last strategy. A lot of event organizers are aware of the money being made on information products and request a percentage of the revenue in exchange for the speaking opportunity. These arrangements vary widely but can run as high as 60% for organizations with proven track records for attracting attendees. In fact, some organizations won't even invite you to speak unless you have products to sell and revenue to share.

As you can see, there are different ways to make money speaking in front of people. The three primary categories are registration dues, consulting jobs and product sales. All three should be considered when evaluating a speaking opportunity. Done properly, the combination of all three can make workshops and seminars a lucrative marketing exercise.

For those who have not had any practical training as an energy inspector, one of the course packages offered by the NHER sets aside the classroom lecture method and involves one day of workshops broken up into small groups and one day of home visits.

No more than 15 can participate in these energy courses, as the workshops must be interactive for all. The emphasis here will be the survey of actual homes, the use of the real EPC software and the production of actual Certificates.

What the novice energy inspector will learn is an understanding of the various government-regulated RDSAP conventions, and the how-tos of measuring and recording property dimensions with accuracy.

The candidates will also learn how to identify residential construction elements correctly and to record their descriptions. As an energy inspector theyll need to be able to identify and to record the safety and health risks of each property, to and by the occupants.

This course will teach that, as well as the steps for entering data into online Energy Performance Certification software. After an energy inspector candidate completes this course she or he should be able to actually produce and EPC and to recommend to owners the various measures they can implement and products they can introduce to improve their dwellings energy efficiency.

All domestic energy assessor candidates, whether they have energy inspector experience or not, must take the last component of NHER energy inspection training. Included are two days that include workshops in small interactive groups and a survey.

This energy should consolidate all energy inspection knowledge and provide some additional knowledge and skills. This could include the study of non-standard properties, unusual residential building features and the technology of renewable energy sources integrated into the buildings themselves.

This final element of training should assure that the graduating energy inspector will be able to start assessing home with confidence in their ability to do so proficiently.

Energy inspector training details at this level include the methods for identifying and dealing with constructions that are not standard and residential property features that are unusual.

Theyll learn as well the identification and handling of hot water, heating and air conditioning systems that are not standard. Other energy inspector lessons will include identification and recommendation of renewable energy technology that can be integrated into residential construction.

These might include solar heat f water and space and photovoltaic panels. Graduates of this energy inspector training should leave confident that she or he is fully trained in RDSAP conventions and every aspect of performing as a DEA.

The last step of this energy inspector training will include completion of an actual inspection, with supervision - a requirement of a VRQ assessment.

Esther hicks is an inspirational teacher and best selling author. She translates blocks of thought for Abraham, a group of non-physical beings. Esther Hicks holds workshops and writes books while she channels Abraham. She has several excellent books out, including The Law of Attraction and The Astonishing Power Of Emotions. These were featured on the New York Times .

Abraham says that we create our own reality with our own thoughts and emotions. Our emotions are our own telling us what we want and what we don't want. Abraham also says that life is supposed to be fun. Here are some of the of Abraham;

1. You are a physical extension of source energy, that which is non-physical 2. The basis of your life is freedom and the only purpose of life is to experience joy 3. You're the main actor or actress in your life. You're the creator. And you create with your thoughts. 4. Anything you are able to imagine is yours to experience, be, to do, or to have 5. You choose your creation as you are choosing your thoughts 6. The Universe adores you. It knows your deepest and broadest intentions 7. All is well so just relax into your natural state of well being 8. Money is a byproduct of your focus on joy 9. You're the creator of thoughtways on your individual and well being 10. You cannot die. You essentially are everlasting life

These teachings are very uplifting and empowering. They are very different from the religious teachings that most of the world has experienced. They empower each person to be able to experience more joy in life. Some people don't believe that Abraham exists and question if Esther Hicks isn't just making things up. They say that channeling is not true and it is hocus pocus. We do not have any proof if Abraham Hicks does exist, but one thing for sure, Esther Hicks has some very important information to share and that information is very uplifting and inspiring. Maybe she just has a unique way of accessing a part of her brain or her mind to be able to share that experience. Who knows for sure?

In my opinion, there are many things in life that have no proof. And the source or how that information is obtained is not so important as the information itself. If someone were to give you a key to a brand new castle, would you care who gave it to you? If it were yours to own forever would you care? Abraham Hicks definitely has inspired thousands, and Abraham Hicks publications are definitely worth reading if you're interested in learning more about the law of attraction.

Esther Hicks holds various workshops and cruises throughout the year where she personally channels Abraham. In the workshops, she gives various people a chance to sit in the "hot seat" and ask their most pressing questions. Abraham Hicks is one of my personal favorites.

And even for those who miss the event, you can add that to your bio and enjoy the prestige of being an instructor for the rest of your career.

Of course, the big challenge to this effort is the actual speaking part. Most people don't like speaking in public and that dissuades them before they even begin. But believe me; you're well advised to give it a shot before abandoning the idea. You might be amazed how quickly you get used to the feeling of teaching others and those who aren't natural public entertainers often make the best teachers.

The hardest part of providing seminars or workshops is finding an audience. Just getting people to show up is an incredibly difficult task. But as it turns out, there are a number of places where you can find an audience for free. There are plenty of organizations that will effectively do the marketing for you and they'll be responsible for putting people in the room. Taking advantage of these opportunities can position you as an expert in your field while preserving your money for other uses.

The first opportunity exists with the local Rotary and . These clubs usually meet at once or twice each month and they're always looking for people to come in and give a presentation. Although you'll get a for it, you won't get paid and you can't blatantly sell products. But it's still a great way for you to get in front of professional people and demonstrate your expertise, potentially getting consulting jobs or getting other .

The second approach involves the that are offered by most municipalities as well as a host of companies like the . Whether these programs are offered as a community service or to make a profit, they represent a spectacular opportunity for those who want to hold workshops and seminars. All you need to do is put together a strong workshop proposal and send it in. If they think it will attract an audience, they'll put you on the schedule =85 and you might even make a few dollars along the way.

The third avenue you should consider for your workshop or seminar is that of tradeshows and conferences. In the case of tradeshows, they usually have an education day before the exhibits open and the conferences have sessions throughout their events. Once again, you can submit a workshop proposal to the selection committee and suggest a program of your choosing. If the topic benefits their audience and the proposal is well written, you have a good chance of being accepted.

All three of these strategies allows you to book speaking engagements and find an audience without paying a penny for advertising or marketing. Meanwhile, you'll be stacking up credentials and gaining exposure for your area of expertise. So if you can get past the fear of public speaking, put a workshop proposal and a mailing list together and get send it out. You might be speaking in front of an audience sooner than you think.

Finally, well-made computer cabinets will allow all the cords for the computer and its various components to be kept out of the way, so that nobody is apt to get tangled in or trip on them.

Many homeowners have garage or basement workshops or both, in which they love to tinker and build work on home improvement projects. Those workshops need places to put tools, project plans, and necessities like nails, nuts and bolts, screws, and paints or stains and varnishes.

Aruba's popular painting workshops are conducted by one of the island's best known artists, Gustave Nouel. For decades, Nouel has been considered Aruba's quintessential painter, capturing the in vibrant . When Nouel was a young student, both teachers and government officials recognized the budding artist's talent. As a result, a young Gustave Nouel received sponsorship from the local government to study in Europe. As his body of work grew, Nouel became a fixture in Aruba's gallery scene, amassing numerous one- and steady sales. Today, boasting local awards such as "Artist of the Year" and a permanent place in the island's "Hall of Fame," Nouel and his reign above Aruban culture.

Despite Gustave Nouel's connection to the island, his renown and influence extend far beyond the shores of Aruba. Several of his works have found their way into the of the world's most and government buildings, most notably at Holland's Royal House of Orange. Since 1980, his work has represented both Aruba and Holland at art fairs and international , New York and many points in between. In 1986, Nouel was chosen to paint an immense mural at the Olympic Swimming Stadium in Madrid, a project completed with the assistance of numerous notable artists. More recently, Nouel has focused on education, conducting painting classes throughout the world for artists of all skill levels.

For the last several years, Nouel's painting workshops have been sponsored by the Access Art Gallery in Oranjestad and local art magazine Palet. This year, Nouel has set aside more than three weeks at the beginning of high tourism season to teach curious visitors the tricks of mixing colors and capturing vivid Caribbean imagery. As the class sizes are small, the painting workshops are known for their intimate atmosphere, where guests are encouraged to ask questions about everything from artistic technique to the island's vibrant cultural history. Nouel's daily workshops will begin this year on November 21 and conclude before the holiday season on December 13.

Though these special workshops promise one of Aruba's most original experiences, the painting classes are just the beginning of the island's bustling art scene. Amongst the historic Dutch architecture of Oranjestad, visitors will find numerous galleries and community art centers. While galleries are spread throughout the capital, Oranjestad's large shopping galleries offer one of the easiest ways to visit some Aruba's best galleries. Under one roof, it is possible to find everything from paintings and sculptures by regional and internationally-recognized artists to locally-made crafts and folk art. Those in search of handcrafted souvenirs should also visit the Aruban Flea Market, an incredible outdoor gathering of the local vendors including many of island's most talented artisans.

While it is to be expected that Aruban artists infuse the Caribbean scenery and atmosphere of the island into their work, many visitors are unaware of the cultural diversity that drives the local culture. Prior to the colonial period, Aruba was inhabited by native Arawak Indians, a distinctive tribe whose influence can be seen in local artwork to this day. During the colonial period, Aruba came under the rule of several European powers including Spain and Holland. Today, though Aruba is still part of the Dutch Kingdom, more than 40 nationalities are represented amongst the island's population of 88,000. In both art and daily life, these distinctive influences blend to create one of the region's most unique cultures.

However you choose to Aruba's unique arts and culture, the island's vibrant spirit never disappoints the most creative visitors.Justin Burch writes articles about travel in Aruba for the Marriott Resorts.]]> Event Catering; The Most Primitive Form Of http://www.artwoo.com/article/event-catering-the-most-primitive-form-of http://www.artwoo.com/article/event-catering-the-most-primitive-form-of#comments Sat, 03 Jun 2006 09:32:05 +0000 raw food dietbuffet foodnut allergiescatering companyfruitarianscoffeewheat intolerance http://www.artwoo.com/article/event-catering-the-most-primitive-form-of coffee in the breaks and rarely, if ever, her chosen beverage.

The dietary requirements of your delegates can be very complex. You may have to deal with vegans, vegetarians, , those on a , those with , , dairy intolerance and, who knows, maybe the occasional carnivore. Of course, it is unlikely that you will be producing the food yourselves; however it is important that you have a method of keeping an accurate record of this information to pass on to your caterers.

If your chosen venue does not provide catering directly, they will most probably be able to recommend a few companies with a good reputation.

Selecting a to assist you can be a pleasant job as those who are proud of their track record will insist that you sample the product before you make your order.

For longer workshops and events, you may need to provide at least one meal. Although the food should be nutritious and interesting, try to make sure that it is not too heavy on the calories otherwise you may lose half of your audience to siesta time. Take advice from your caterer, they should be able to suggest a range of menus that will be appropriate. When you pass on the information regarding special dietary needs, make sure that those dishes are carefully labeled as they tend to be tasty and interesting unlike traditional and might disappear into the wrong stomachs.

Of course if you are running a smaller event, none of this need bother you. Wrong! There is just as much potential for drama with coffee and biscuits. Those with allergies and intolerances will still have hunger pangs, so fruit, nut-free, wheat free snacks and a good range of beverages should be available. Clean, boiling hot water for those who bring their own special brews, coffee, decaf, black tea, herbal teas and fruit teas are the minimum requirements if you want to impress. Fortunately most well equipped venues will have a beverage dispenser serving just about every requirement.

You may get no extra stars for getting the catering right, but get it wrong and your event will be a scar on people's memories.
