No Food, Beverages, Gum, or High Heels Allowed! HOW GREECE IS PRESERVING ITS ANCIENT SITES If you wanted to pinpoint a civilization that has impacted our society and government in more ways than one, ancient Greece should be one of the first civilizations you think of. The ancient Greeks made significant contributions to philosophy, mathematics, astronomy, medicine, literature, and so much more. Today, you can still visit their magnificent monuments and tour ancient sites — it will surely make you feel like you’ve returned to ancient times! However, if you plan on traveling to Greece, there are a few things you need to know. For example, in 2009, Greek authorities implemented a law stating that you cannot wear high heels while walking around these historic sites. Because these monuments are centuries old, they have experienced a lot of wear and tear. And visitors (or locals) wearing stiletto heels can damage these sites even more with their spiked heels. But that’s not the only law Greek authorities instituted in 2009. You also can’t bring food, drinks, or gum to most of these historical sites. The Odeon of Herodes Atticus in Athens, Greece, was built in 161 A.D. To this day, it continues to be a stadium for live performances, festivals, and other activities. But in 2009, Greek authorities and the venue’s maintenance crew knew something needed to change. As the crew cleaned up the stadium, they discovered nearly 60 pounds of chewing gum beneath the marble seats. Because of this incident of littering — and many others — Greek officials came up with a solution, and new laws were created. If we want to preserve the history of these places and the culture of the ancient Greeks, continue learning more about them, and use their buildings and stadiums, then we must follow the preventive measures the modern Greeks put in place. So, if you plan on traveling to Greece to see the iconic Parthenon temple, the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, the Temple of Apollo,
Generate More Wealth and Financial Security 3 Methods Business Owners Should Consider One of the main reasons becoming an entrepreneur is attractive is that you can build wealth and secure your financial future. However, there are many moving parts that come with being a business owner — how do you find the right approach so you can generate wealth? INVEST IN YOURSELF. When we say investing, we don’t mean contributing money to a particular stock or business. In this instance, investing means applying your time and effort to activities that will enhance your life and improve your skills. Investing in yourself is paramount for building wealth as a business owner. So, continue to learn new skills, participate in workshops and conferences, work with a coach or mentor, or take in-person or online courses to perfect your craft and network. When you invest in yourself, you equip yourself with the tools you need to make smart decisions for yourself and your business, thus increasing your wealth. BE MINDFUL OF YOUR SPENDING. You may be tempted to spend money freely on business expenses, take yourself and loved ones out on luxurious getaways, or lavishly spend your money on items you may not necessarily need. However, spending your wealth is not how you accumulate and preserve your wealth. While it’s great to splurge occasionally, be mindful of your habits. Try to avoid unnecessary expenses and live below your means. By being frugal, you can invest more into your business, in your future, and other methods that will boost your finances. HAVE SEVERAL STREAMS OF INCOME. If you solely rely on one form of income, it will take you a while to reach your financial, business, and personal goals. On top of having your own business, consider investing in developments or real estate or launching other products or services. When you have money coming from different avenues, new ventures will be less risky since you’re not dependent on one line of income. Another way to accumulate wealth is by protecting your business, and this can be done by working with a business attorney. Costly lawsuits can occur at any time, and the best way to prevent them is to have someone by your side who can create and review contracts and processes that may cause litigation. If you or someone you know is looking for a business attorney to assist them, please don’t hesitate to contact us today!
