Profit Hacks creators Rick Schefren, Founder and CEO of Strategic Profits, and Preneurcast's Pete Williams, have released their "Profit Prophesy" report revealing the biggest threat to business owners in six years.
Schefren's earlier report, "The Internet Marketing Manifesto" has been downloaded over one million times by those interested in running their online and offline businesses more strategically.
This is the first report Schefren has released in five years.
The Profit Hacks course is a strategic productivity course designed to help business owners to spend up to 90% less time working in their business while increasing revenues by up to 400% according to Williams.
Schefren's first group of 25 coaching clients increased their revenues by $40 million in just 18 months. Williams is a well known Australian entrepreneur commonly referred to as "Australia's Richard Branson" by the Australian media.
"This free report and the course are perfect for three different types of business owners. The first are the business owners who are either under-qualified or over-qualified for the tasks they are doing. The second are business owners who are going to bed at night knowing they could be doing more to get more customers. The third are business owners who are overwhelmed by the massive volume of tasks required to run a profitable business..." said Ayers of StrategicProfitsFormula.com, who researched and reviewed the course.
The course is culmination of lessons Schefren learned as a strategic coach with revenue exceeding $30 million dollars and the best practices William's developed to allow him to focus on his core-competencies so he could build and run four online and offline businesses.

A national short sale website will help multitudes of people with their short sale questions, and providing the ability for people to check their short sale eligibility.

“On August 21, 2012 the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) made the announcement that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were going to issue new, clearer guidelines to their mortgage servicers which would consolidate and align the existing short sales programs into one standard short sale program,” Kris Lindahl reports. Kris continues to explain, “These new streamlined program rules ease the process for servicers and lenders to qualify eligible borrowers for a short sale.”
“The streamlined guidelines, are effective Nov. 1, 2012, and allow a homeowner with a Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac mortgage the ability to sell their home in a short sale even if they are current on their mortgage, as long as they have an eligible hardship,” Kris Lindahl, an experienced Fannie Mae Short Sale Agent reports these changes released in the FHFA press release of August 21, 2012. Kris Lindahl adds, “Servicers will now be able to expedite the processing of a short sale for borrowers with hardships, like a death of a borrower or co-borrower, divorce, disability, or relocation for a job without any additional approval from Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.”
“These new guidelines demonstrate FHFA’s and Fannie Mae’s and Freddie Mac’s commitment
to enhancing and streamlining processes to avoid foreclosure and stabilize communities,” recounts the FHFA Acting Director Edward J.

Brandon Jones Named 2012 “International Landscape Designer of the Year” by the Association of Professional Landscape Designers
Understated elegance and simplistic serenity were some of the comments expressed by the expert panel of judges who selected Brandon Jones as the 2012 International Landscape Designer of the Year.
A principal designer and director of design at Glen Gate Company, in Wilton, Connecticut, Jones’ award-winning project was selected out of sixty-five entries in the Association of Professional Landscape Designers’ (APLD) international juried competition.
Jones accepted his award on September 20 at the 2012 APLD International Design Conference in San Francisco.
After receiving the award, Jones humbly remarked, “To be considered for this award among all the entries and ultimately to be given this distinction placing me in the company of APLD’s esteemed past recipients is an accomplishment for which I am and will remain forever proud.”
Visions of creating a relaxing retreat for family and friends during hot, humid summer days influenced Jones’ design. He built upon the existing infrastructure while enhancing the plain atmosphere and stark décor.
“When I first saw the turn of the century site I was instantly inspired by the space, which already had a pool and gardening shed, and I attempted to keep that history alive,” Jones explained.
To achieve a summertime oasis, Jones knew integrating shade would be vital, so he let the shade pavilion become the focal point. He strove to create a cozy get-away, saturated in modern simplicity and vintage nostalgia.
Furthering this minimalism, Jones wanted to ensure the plant palette would complement, not overshadow the pavilion. When choosing plants for this design, local climate and zone drove his choices.
“Native plants are more likely to succeed because they’ve already adapted to the region’s climate and soil,” Jones explains. “By pairing a few, choice plants with strong architecture, the space became balanced and eloquent.”
His finished product was a hit with both his client and the APLD judges, and Jones was equally “honored and thrilled” when he found out he won the prestigious title.
While Jones is already looking towards the future, he’s also been reflecting on the past. Over the years, Jones has realized the importance of being affiliated with APLD. His membership has consistently shown clients his commitment to the industry while also augmenting his sense of great garden designs.
Jones, who has been working in landscape design for nearly two decades, muses, “Being honored for your work by such renowned professionals is a thrilling acknowledgment, but it also marks the beginnings of an exciting new stage for me: one that comes with a responsibility to contribute back and help foster new design talent.”
