Some professions can actually cause asthma or, trigger it to make it worse, this is called occupational asthma.

Most jobs locations, especially office and factory professions, have some kind of dust, smells and other fumes, with which you have direct contact or, indirectly, as it may be going through the ventilation or air systems (from one office to another), producing occupational asthma.

Usually the levels that you breathe in are so minute (small) that you aren’t troubled by it.

This means that if the job location , or your work environment, is the cause of your occupational asthma, your asthmatic conditions will improve if you leave that job, or that at least change your work environment, assuming that you and your doctor have caught and treated it early enough.

However the longer you continue working in the same conditions which are causing the asthma, the more likely you are to continue having asthmatic conditions even after you leave those working conditions and stay away from the dust, smells or fumes.

Unfortunately, most continue with a job in a damaging environment as they have not realized that there is a relationship between their environment and their health, or because it is seemingly very difficult to leave or change jobs. The cost of either is very high, occupational asthma, or other health issues.

When a job or workplace is causing the asthma, co-workers, are also affected.

However if it is just you it could be another cause such as job-related stress rather than any fumes or pollutants.

Wrongly blaming your job for your asthma can have very bad effects.

Why lose your job if it is harmless and didn’t cause your asthma at all?

Also, if people think that the workplace caused asthma, the expense of improving working conditions may mean there will be fewer jobs or in some cases no jobs at all.

In addition, a diagnosis of occupational asthma may reduce your chances of future employment.

However, if your gets better during the weekends, on an extended break, or when you are on vacation, it likely that something at work is the cause of it.

The dust, fumes or allergens in various trades such as bakeries (flour), working with animals, working with pharmaceuticals, craftsmen (especially wood), electronics (soldering), textile dyes (reactive dyes), polyurethane paints and plastic moulding, etc., can be direct causes of occupational asthma.

Oddly enough, many substances with a nasty smell don’t seem to cause asthma, even though they can cause allergic reactions in the nose.

If you believe you may have asthma, occupational or not, do not hesitate to speak with your doctor immediately.

Dating for single parents can, at times, be depressing, disappointing and apparently hopeless. However, the picture is not as bleak as it is made out to be. The single most decisive factor in two strangers clicking with each other is if they share something in common. In that case, there can be no greater base for a stable relationship than sharing the pleasures of parenthood.

If you are a single parent, one of the best things about meeting other single parents is that they know what you bring to the plate. The commitments you share would be common. Driving children to music lessons, helping them in their studies, and attending their soccer games is the adhesive that bonds you not only with your partner’s children, but with your partner as well. The association that begins when you first meet another single parent will ultimately grow into a unique bond for both of you.

It is hallucinatory to think that having parenthood as the only common factor will sustain the relationship for long. Other things are needed as well; however, parenthood is a great way to build trust, and trust is the foundation of any flourishing partnership. Provided you and your partner have trust, your relationship will last, notwithstanding the relations between your respective children. Their going to different schools and having different sets of friends and different values will not be as great a problem as perceived.

It’s alluring and perhaps inevitable to let your initial venture into the dating world of single parents get influenced by what your respective children have to say. However, dating single parents should keep in mind that, ultimately, the decision of investing in one another lies with them. Chances are, if attitudes match and you really hit it off, your children will fall into line.

When your prospects see your marketing materials, your brochure, your web site or your ads you want them to read them. You want prospects to read not just the first sentence but the majority of your copy. Once they’ve read it, you want them to decide that they need your product or service and either make a purchase or contact you for more information.

When prospective clients and customers see your web site, ads or brochures, you want them to be captivated and impressed. You hope they’ll read not just the headlines, but all the way through the copy. And you want this scintillating copy to motivate them to take the next step, and make a purchase or contact you for more information.

Is it working?

Do prospects read your marketing materials? Does the copy convince them that they need your products and services?
Do they understand the value you provide?

Do they contact you?

What’s the key to writing marketing copy that grabs your prospects’ attention, overcomes common objections and leads to a sale or an inquiry?

When you finally call a plumber to fix that leak under the sink, does he spend ten or fifteen minutes talking about how long he has been in business, the wrenches he uses or the process he uses to solder a joint together? Of course not.

You have a problem and, in most cases, you need it solved immediately. You don’t necessarily care how he does it - you just want your leaky plumbing fixed. Of course you want to spend as little as possible, but you see the plumber’s fees relative to the damage you’re incurring from the leak.

Likewise, prospects’ own problems and concerns precede their interest in your products and services. To capture their attention and get them to read your marketing copy; focus on what they want; don’t begin your marketing copy with descriptions of the solution you provide or your credentials or processes.

Prospects’ problems come first, then your solution. Problem; solution. Prospects want to see themselves and their concerns clearly identified in order to feel confident that you understand their needs. By addressing this, you create the context so that when you do describe your products and services, they are the obvious solution to your prospects’ needs.

Take a look at your marketing materials, including everything from your business card to your web site. Who and what are your marketing materials about; you or your prospects’ concerns?

Make a list of five to fifteen things that your prospects want. Turn these into questions or statements about your prospects’ problems. Asking questions is particularly effective in getting prospects to think about solving their problems.

If you’re a financial advisor you might ask, “Do you want to learn how to make more in both up and down markets?” If you help people with marketing their businesses you might ask, “Do you want to learn how to attract more clients and increase sales?” If you sell golf clubs you might ask, “Do you want to hit further and more accurately with less effort?”

To attract new clients you need to get their attention, demonstrate that you understand their concerns and clarify the value your products and services provide. Focus your marketing copy on your prospects’ problems, ask them questions and couch your solutions in terms of their objectives. You’ll start more conversations, sell more products and sign up more clients.
