We’ll help you find your niche?
Developing a new product that will change
the world? Congratulations you innovator, you! Those who have been here before
know many questions arise when the genius
in you does something that gains new
footing in the marketplace. Not the least
of these questions is “How to Set the Right
Price?” Ah… The mystery, the wild, wild
west of the pricing world which awaits a new
product. Yet as Money Magazine in its August, 2015 issue observed
“getting the pricing right is extremely important or none of us will not
remain in business for long.” How to find that right price………
First of all: Assess your costs. These include tangibles such as parts
that make the new product plus intangibles such as getting the product
marketed and of course salaries and other employee costs in doing so.
Look at your Competition: If the product is a completely built from
scratch new design this is a bit complex, but realistically most new
designs are adaptations of others with the adaptation just being plain
better! WWW.sba.gov/sizeup is a great little tool to see who your
competitors are and with that information, you may just may wish to
do a bit of covert shopping. This will help you gain an idea of what our
competitor is priced at and if your product offers something distinctive
enough to be offered at a higher price or if it needs to stay at a similar
rate.
Establish your value. Two ways to look at this. You can charge a
premium but high quality, uniqueness and great customer service is
essential here. You can charge less and rely on volume. Money Magazine suggests a focus group of potential clients and friends assembled
could aid you in the process of your marketability for your product.
Most of all, your product may fail. Remember Steve Jobs’ Apple Lisa
presented in 1983. Only 100,000 of these cuties sold largely due to design flaws. Let’s think where Apple is today. Why, they did not give up
in 1983 and continued to innovate and innovate on the innovations.
All the best to those who enhance our lives by continuing to introduce
new ideas and products into the marketplace.

New Author – Rachel Northern The ART of Being Healthy
America has been facing a health crisis for many years. Though
America makes up 5% of the world population, Americans consume
more than 50% of drugs prescribed worldwide. And yet, rank 47th on
the list of healthiest countries according to The World Health Organization (W.H.O.). More and more research is showing the importance of recognizing that the human body has an
innate capacity to heal when it is free of interference. The ART of Being Healthy – real life stories
of children and mothers healing with chiropractic
shares peoples’ experience with chiropractic, often
when other methods had failed.
Co-Author, Dr. Rachel Northern stated: “It is a
blessing to have been selected to contribute a true
life healing story, with a group of internationally recognized doctors.
It is my hope that when people read this book, they will see that there
is hope for them and their children.”
“People will know that if they are in need of natural healthcare,
Northern Light Care is the place to come.”
DR.. Northern has practiced in Johnsburg for 12 years serving families and patients of all ages, from newborns to the elderly.

Hurts, habits, hang-ups … we all have them. We all
“know someone” who has them. We are all embarrassed by them. We all wonder what to do with them.
Celebrate Recovery (CR) is a 12-Step program for
those who long for God’s grace and power as it is displayed through the caring lives of other fellowsufferers. This program is by and for people who struggle with the things that have happened to
them, choices they’ve made, and habitual patterns that threaten to further destroy the personal peace and harmony we all
crave. While many attend CR as part of their recovery from drug, alcohol, and food addictions, some attend to find peace
after making poor personal decisions that have hurt (or even devastated) themselves and others, some attend as part of their
recovery from the abuse and sins of others, and some attend just to find strength to live another day with the burdens life has
handed them. CR meets at the McHenry Evangelical Free Church (2614 N Ringwood Rd. in McHenry) on Tuesday nights
from 7 to 9 pm with an optional fellowship meal at 6 pm. More information is available on our website at:
www.abetterlife4u2.com/CRatMEFC.html or by contacting Lowell Kivley, LCPC at (815) 347-3928.

The Salvation Army Brown Bag Lunch Program
The Salvation Army Brown Bag Lunch Program is new to McHenry County. Recognizing a gap in lunchtime service to the homeless, we are teaming up with the community to fill the need, one brown bag at a
time. The guidelines for receiving a sack lunch are simple. If you’re hungry we’re going to feed you. Warm
weather will bring the closing of temporary housing sites and new anxieties for the homeless population.
Summer is often a time when homeless individuals begin to feel the most vulnerable. For many, it involves
sleeping outside in tents or under trees and bushes and no consistent daily meals.
The long term goal of this program is to be able to provide a brown bag lunch 7 days each and For more information about
how you can support The Brown Bag Lunch Program call The Salvation Army at 815.455.2769

Are You Prepared?
The reality for millions of Americans whose personal data is stored on public and private servers
is–It’s not a matter of “if ”, but “when” you will become of victim of Identity Theft - it’s staggering! In fact Identity Theft last year alone accounted for financial losses of $25 billion in the United
States. It is the number one complaint with the Federal Trade Commission for the last 15 years.
Identity Theft is not just about your credit and debit card accounts. It requires more than credit
monitoring to protect yourself. In fact, according to the Federal
Trade Commission (FTC), only 15% of the Identity Theft the 492,220 complaints received
in 2015 would have created activity discoverable by credit report monitoring. It’s important
not only to take steps to prevent identity theft, but also have a plan to restore when your
identity is stolen. The FTC estimates the average identity theft victim invests over 200 hours
and spends a total of 18 months resolving the issue with credit reporting agencies. With
this information in mind, it’s important to ask yourself, “what am I prepared to do in the
event I become a victim of Identity Theft?” Frank and Kristina Hosticka are Independent
Associates with LegalShield/IDShield
