Climb the Ladder of Success

Climbing the ladder of success is a common metaphor. Not many realize how true and powerful that metaphor is. For anything in life you start out at the bottom rung and climb your way up. If you're really talented you can jump and reach the second, third, and maybe even fourth rung before you begin your climb. Still, to get to the top, you have to climb up rung by rung just like everyone else.

It is the same with any achievement. You have to start at the beginning, gain knowledge, experience, and wisdom, moving up the rungs of success until you achieve your ultimate goal. It is only the speed of the climb that's different for everyone, not the climb.

Many, however, are impatient. They look for the 'secret,' that hidden trick which vaults them to the top of their chosen path without having to climb the ladder rung by rung.

Jesse wanted to get rich by developing a shopping center / office complex. He wasn't willing to climb the latter rung by rung. Instead, he tried to vault to the top and tied up a large parcel of land. He hired engineers, real estate agents and assistants but had virtually no experience, knowledge, or ability to develop that kind of project. He ended up in court and lost it all (including his marriage). He was 'knocked' back down the ladder and has to start all over again. You can't avoid having to climb, no matter what you do.

In contrast, a very successful acquaintance tells all the young people who come to meet with him to discover his 'secret,' that the 'secret' is "showing up for work every day."

Another point: If you don't like the rungs you're climbing, you're probably on the wrong ladder.

Truck Ladder Racks

People in some vocations cannot do without ladder racks. These ladder racks can hold boards, long pipes, tools and other items. Trucks with ladder racks offer great advantages. The following are among the best truck ladder racks currently available in the market.

Cross Tread 1500 Ladder Racks offer contractors great strength and flexibility. Both the 750 and 1500 series ladder racks are constructed with 14-gauge steel tubing; these racks also possess the diamond profile side rail system. By revolving the side rails to 45 degrees, an integrated truss system is produced, giving greater firmness and a framework that prevents swaying and side shifting.

Cross Tread Renegade Ladder Racks are durable and flexible. This ladder rack can be adjusted and used without a pick-up truck cap. This truck ladder rack works brilliantly with the Cross Tread cab guard.

TracRac is a certified powder-coated aluminum rack system that is intended to fit any pickup. It is the only rack system capable of "sliding". The TracRac mounts trouble-free into the stake pockets, without having to drill or bolt. In fact, it reinforces the truck frame. It is extremely light (77 pounds), but powerful. The TracRac can hold up to 1,000 pounds. Overhead accessories and racks can slide into better position to suit the cargo. TracRac is fully tested and endorsed by GM, Ford, and Chrysler.

Xtreme Rack is a pioneering, multi-functional sports rack and cargo management system that attracts hunters, campers, off-road enthusiasts, boaters, horsemen, skiers, motorcyclists, etc. Xtreme Rack's groundbreaking design allows the truck owner to modify the rack to his own taste and approach, while its durability and strength allows the maker to design it for utmost functionality.

Kids Bed Ladders - Safety Tips For Every Parent

Ladders for kids' beds are readily available for home delivery from Internet retail stores, so there is no reason to keep that old rickety or unstable bunkbed ladder that may be putting your child's safety at risk. You can purchase kids' bed ladders independently of the bunk bed, and they are affordably priced.

Kids love bunk beds and loft beds because they are an adventure in disguise. Parents love them because they save a lot of space in kids' small rooms and accommodate siblings and visiting relatives and overnight guests.

But kids' safety is the primary concern. Here are some tips to keep in mind when buying or evaluating a kids' bed ladder.

When the bunk ladder first arrives, check for damage to the box or bunk bed ladder inside. Please advise the shipper immediately if you notice any damage to the box or bunk ladder.
Test the ladder carefully yourself before allowing your child to climb it.
The ladder should sit firmly on the floor and hook over the front lower rail of the top bunk. The upper guard rails are not as firmly affixed to the bed frame, so use the front rail of the top bunk bed to attach the ladder.
The ladder should be sturdy. It should not wobble or bend in any direction. The rungs should not be loose or turn in place when a foot steps on them.
The bunk ladder should have flat-surfaced rungs for comfort and safety. Round rungs are more prone to slipping and are less comfortable to use.
Teach children always to use the bunkbed ladder for getting up and down from the top bunk. Climbing the sides may seem faster, but the spacing of foot holds is not as consistent and children may not anticipate a wider step.
Teach children always to face the ladder when climbing up or down the bunk bed ladder.
Regularly check that the ladder (and the guardrails and other bunk bed parts, for that matter) are tightly screwed down and properly in place.
Respect the manufacturer weight restrictions! Do not allow a person heavier than the weight restrictions to use the bunk bed ladder or the top bunk. Sturdy bunk beds and loft beds can typically accommodate up to 400-500 lbs. on the top bunk, but not all bunk beds are up to this standard.
Never allow a child under 5 years old on the top bunk of the bunk bed. This is a difficult rule to enforce. They may get up there with apparent ease, but most parents know that, at that age, they may not understand the safety issues on the top bunk, or know the safest way to use the ladder coming down. The return trip may not go so well.

Sturdy bunk bed ladders will help your child stay safe. If you've had enough trips to the emergency room, or just don't want to envision that circumstance, make sure that the bunk ladder for your child's bed is easy to use and meets the safety criteria above.

Choosing the Right Ladder For the Job

There are a vast array of different types of ladders on the market and it can be often confusing when it comes to buying a ladder to find the exact one that suits your requirements. Despite the myriad of names and terms given to some ladders, they pretty much fall into three categories:

* The platform or step ladder
* Extension ladder
* Suspended ladder (such as a rope or roof ladder)

Each type is best suited to a particular purpose and to decide which one you need to assess what you require it for.

A platform or more commonly called a stepladder offers a stable working platform for placing tools and materials on. They also fold and open up like scissors which means they can be easily stowed away in the back of a van of under a staircase.

They are very sturdy and are useful for working at low height such as indoor decorating where access to ceilings is required.

Extension ladders are more useful for working at greater heights. They usually comprise of two or three separate ladders that are joined together and can slide apart and extend. Extensions require a wall or surface to prop them up. They also need to be rested against a surface at an appropriate angle and can slip if they are too vertical or too horizontal. These are responsible for more serious injury than other types of ladder.

Suspended ladders such as rope and roof ladders are used when there is no surface or floor to rest another type of ladder on. Ropes are often used to lower from height such as off helicopters and have the advantage of being able to be folded up.

Roof ladders tend to be made from aluminium and have a hooking system to suspend from a roof. They are often used on sloping surfaces as a vertical surface would require permanent attachment to the floor and/or roof.

Another consideration when it comes to buying a ladder is always make sure it is long enough for the height you will be working. Over reaching on one is a common cause of falls and it is better to buy a ladder rather than make do with an insufficient one.

Network Your Way To The Top Of The Business Ladder

Networking is one of the most important aspects of being a successful business person, if not the most important. Simply put, your service or product is not going to promote itself. Your own credibility will not just magically grow. Get out there and meet people, shake those hands, kiss those babies, being shy will not help your cause.

The best example I could give right now is that of attending a function or party. Now, some detractors may say that there is no point to go to these events and maybe get a chance to talk to only a few different people, maybe hand out a couple of business cards only to never hear back from anyone. I would be lying if I was to say that this does not happen, but it does......alot. But there is a reason for that, and there is a simple way to make going to that party/function very worthwhile.

For example, whenever I go to a business function I get around and talk to different people. Great, so does everybody else. I hand out my business card. Great, so does everybody else. I also receive alot of business cards. Great, so does everybody else. Whats the difference between what I do and what everybody else does? The answer is not much.

The next step, however, is the key. Within the next 7 days of meeting and exchanging business cards with anyone I meet, be it at a business function, party, charity event, so on and so forth, I will follow up and contact each person in some way, shape or form. Usually the best way I've found to do is setting up a 'LUNCH MEETING' and its great, but one of many things you can do.

For example, have you ever heard the phrase, 'lets do lunch'? Its common to hear that all the time in the business world. I say it alot, but the interesting thing about it is that when I do, I always follow up on it within the next 7 days because truly successful people keep their committments. Even if its going to be with someone who is not directly related to my industry or business, it doesn't matter, doing these kinds of things really help you make a name for yourself and can pay huge dividends in the future.

I remember this one time I met a local Restaurant manager and we exchanged cards. I followed up with him the next week and I ended up attending his own birthday function, brought a gift and had a great time(remember that following up can be in many different ways). A couple of weeks later I met with one of my clients for dinner along with 3 potential clients at this manager's restaurant. I was running late(try to avoid tardiness) and not even 5 minutes after showing up and making the introductions at the table, there came the manager. Free drinks for the entire table, good conversation, and he treated us all great.

Not very often do most people walk into a restaurant and have free complimentary drinks served by the manager personally. Lets just say, not surprisingly, I did business with all 3 potential clients at that table. Enough said. Get out there and meet people, network, last but not least, follow up.

Bunk Bed Basics - Choosing a Bed Ladder

The thing about bunk beds is that they can be great space savers when you have more kids than you have rooms in the house. They offer a great way to provide each kid with a bed of his own even when he has to share a room with his siblings. But while bunk beds can be excellent additions to cramped spaces, they can also pose safety threats particularly with the wrong choice of bed ladder.

Permanent bed ladders

Bed ladders are designed to offer easier access to the upper bunks. They are usually made from the same type of material from which the bunk bed is made. In many cases, bunk beds already come with ladders screwed to the edge of the bed. If the bunks are going to be used by children, it is safer to install permanent ladders. Just make sure that they are bolted in a part of the bed that is easily accessible.

Removable ladders

There are also bunk beds that come with removable bed ladders. These are ladders that are simply hooked onto the upper bunk so they can easily be removed when not in use. This bed ladder is more appropriate if you're going to have teenagers sleeping in the bunks. It's also a great idea for guest rooms. The thing about removable ladders, however, is they are not as stable as the bolted down types. There's a higher risk of accidents with this type.

Buying tips

If you feel that the bed ladder that your bunk bed comes with isn't stable enough, you can opt to purchase a separate ladder. When shopping, always consider weight capacity. Make sure that the ladder you choose can accommodate the weight of an adult or teenager to ensure that it wouldn't break easily.
