I am often asked by aspiring goal setters whether luck plays an important part in achieving your dreams. They want to know whether the people they admire who have achieved so much are supported in their efforts by sheer good fortune.

I tell them that there are three key things they need to know about luck.

1. It's not really luck.

   Thomas Jefferson once said, "The harder I work, the luckier I become". Luck is really about doing the things and being in the right places at the right times to take advantage of the opportunities that present themselves. If we do not take any action, share our visions or interact with the people who can help us, we will not encounter the "luck" that is available to us.

2. You make your own.

   Successful people, when told how lucky they must be, usually laugh and say "I make my own luck". They don't believe in luck as a concept, but they do believe in being open minded, ready for anything and willing to grab any opportunity that presents itself without hesitation.

3. You can become a lucky person.

   We all have an infinite capacity for luck, if only we can take a positive view of ourselves out into the world and always expect the best possible outcome. The law of attraction says that we become what we think. If our expectation of life is that it will continually kick us in the teeth, then it will. If however we believe that people are essentially good, that we deserve great things and that they are just around the corner, the universe will repay us in kind by showering us with abundant "luck".

One of the latest styling products to gain popularity is the hair straightener. There are many different brands and styles of straighteners, but generally they all work on the same principle. Two ceramic plates, or irons, are heated just like a curling iron, and then the two plates are gently pressed against the top and bottom sections of hair and slowly drawn through the hair from the top to the bottom. The result is a soft looking, sleek hairstyle seen on such celebrities as Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie.

The hair straightener not only removes frizz and fly-aways but it also is used to add body and definition to the hair. All types of hair can benefit from using a good quality hair straightener as a styling product. Most straighteners will have several heat settings, and the finer your hair is the lower the setting you will need to use.

In order to get the most out of your hair straightener it is important to start with a clean and dry head of hair. Dirty hair or hair with a lot of products already in it will stick on the ceramic plates, and will lead to broken and damaged hair and possible crimped looking patterns on the hair. Hair should be completely dry to avoid any damage to the structure of the hair (leading to split ends or dry looking hair). Some straightening irons are specifically made for use with damp hair, and if you wish to do this make sure your iron indicates damp or wet to dry hair. In addition to having clean hair also be sure to use a good moisturizing conditioner to prepare your hair for the treatment. While straightening is not damaging to your hair if done properly, a good conditioner can really add shine and manageability to your hair.

If your hair requires some texture or body for the style that you are trying to achieve, add mousse or styling mud or crme prior to blow-drying your hair. Work the product completely through to the roots to give the same texture to the hair all the way along its length.

If your hair has a tendency to frizz up throughout the day, try applying a small amount of anti-frizz serum prior to blow-drying. Use a large round brush to dry your hair from the top to the bottom, gently rolling the hair under to help straighten. Finish with a medium heat hair straightening iron, and a light sheen of shine crme or slight mist of good quality hair spray.

One of the biggest mistakes that is made when using a hair straightener is to heat the ceramic plates up too hot, and to damage the hair by moving the iron too slowly. You should always use the lowest possible temperature, and avoid the temptation to overheat the irons and dry out your hair. Move the iron in a smooth motion down the length of the hair. In addition, be sure to avoid making contact with your skin on your neck, scalp or ears as it will burn very quickly and painfully.

What this means to you is that there is an enormous business opportunity waiting in the rental business.

In fact, the rental business has been booming, and more and more entrepreneurs are finding that the rent to own business is an extremely profitable one.

The cornerstone to success in the rental business, however, is a quality and detailed rental business plan.

==Raising Start Up Cash==

Without a business plan, it will be virtually impossible to raise the startup cash you need to get the rental business off the ground.

Starting such a rental business can be quite costly, after all you will have to buy a large number of high end electronics, furniture, computer equipment and other items that your clients can rent from you.

==Borrowing Or Taking On Partners==

This means that you will likely need to either borrow the startup funds you need or take on partners and investors in order to get your business up and running.

The first document any business banker or potential investor will want to see is the rental business plan you have created. Without such a business plan in hand, it will be virtually impossible to raise the funds you need to be successful.

==Keeping Your Taxes Low==

In addition to its usefulness in getting the startup funds you need, a rental business plan will also be invaluable in a number of other ways as well. For instance, a good business plan will help you plan your tax liability to keep your taxes as low as possible.

Keeping taxes low is an important part of planning for any business, and your business plan can definitely come in handy when it comes to planning your taxes.

==Using A Tax Attorney Or An Accountant==

Of course it is likely that you will need help when creating your rental business plan, especially when it comes to such complicated matters as taxes.

Tax law is an incredibly complicated subject, and paying a tax attorney or accountant to review your rental business plan will be money well spent.
