    Four Stages of Growth

    There is a lot of planning that goes into starting any business. Stage one is the growing phase of the business during which the business plans and strategies are finally executed and the business organization comes into existence. This is the stage where the business is not generating revenue but trying to establish itself in the market and attract a stable set of investors and customers. This is the stage where the business has to invest a lot of resources in creating the basic infrastructure and then marketing and advertising itself in the market. This is the phase during which innovative ideas are encouraged, in order to establish a USP (Unique Selling Proposition) for the company. It is a difficult task to have a smooth sailing business, without any struggle right from the beginning since the early stage of business setup involves higher risks. The income in the first stages is always lesser than the investments and hence initial stage is marked by lower profit margins for the business.…

    Many of us have had the opportunity to observe infants and how they develop through time, whether it is our children, siblings, or just a family friend we can all agree it is extremely interesting to watch children grow. I am currently about 8 months pregnant and I feel it is very important for me to understand how my daughter-to-be will develop. It is important for parents especially to know how a child should grow and mature so they know if their children are on the right track or not. Without knowing how a child is supposed to develop one may never know if their child has a developmental disability or not. The best way to diagnose a developmental disability is the parents observing their children’s behavior and reporting it to their doctor so further research can be made. I have decided to research the developmental milestones of a child from birth to age two because children go through so many very important developmental stages just in those two years.…

The Leadership Program is the other area where I educate, oversee activities and manage both junior and senior classes. Over the past several years, I have enjoyed creating and delivering the curriculum for each of these courses . Because many of the leadership activities need prior authorization before…
