THE BEST JUMP STARTERS TO BUY WITH REVIEWS – 2017

As an everyday driver, your vehicle’s electrical power source will eventually fail. Whether it’s a drastically temperature change, the water level of the battery is low, or the battery just simply won’t hold charge like it used to… these things happen all the time. In order to be prepared, you need to have a jump starter box on you at all times. It’s one thing to have cables, but what happens when no one is willing to stop and help you out, then what?

We created a guide specifically about SUAOKI G7 jumper boxes, portable jump starters, and anything that you can take with you to give your vehicle’s battery the “extra” juice to get going. Now, before we dive into the top 10 list lets go over what the requirements USED to be.

Before the jump box, you had to carry with you a set of jumper cables to get another vehicle to give you some juice. This is still a common practice when no other power sources are present, but it’s quite an inconvenience. Then we have the jump boxes on wheels where you hook them directly to the wall and then directly to the car battery. This again requires a power source which is a wall outlet, even more inconvenient.

Today’s latest options are MUCH better in terms of providing power and portability. Some of today’s best jump starters weigh under 5 lbs in total and can give you over 15 jumps on a single charge (WOW!). Battery jumper boxes aren’t out of reach financially, your local automotive store and places like Amazon’s Automotive section will have a plethora of choices.

First contestant we have in our #10 spot is the Jump-N-Carry JNC300XLC Portable 12-Volt jump starter. This little guy isn’t by any means the smallest package you can get for jump starters, but it’s 1/3 of the size a regular jumper box is. This one comes in weighing in at around 9l bs fully loaded, it includes two jumper wires and a convenience light (ideal for night time usage).

This one in particular has the “C” in the end of its name, meaning that its Oregon and California energy compliant. At peak power its pushing around 900 amps, and for cranking amps you’re looking at around 225. When hooking this unit up to a battery, each lead (negative and positive) provide around 27″ inches of reach. In addition, you’re also provided with a 12-volt socket (cigarette light style) for powering up and charging your electric accessories.

Overall it’s a VERY popular unit and has received great feedback from its users. If you don’t live in California or Oregon, you can save close to 30 dollars by looking into the JNC300XL (non-energy compliant unit). Same performance still.

8 Ways a Vision Statement Adds Value to Any Business

Vision statements get a bad rap for a couple of reasons. First, they’re ill-defined by people who confuse vision with a strategy. Second, they’re written to the same level of detail as a construction team's blueprint for a new house. Would you remember every detail? Of course not (and if you would then I want to know your powers).

Contrary to the "uselessness" of a vision statement reported by some, they do serve a purpose: to identify a company’s future optimal state. If you don't know what "right" looks like, then nothing is wrong. To minimize confusion, here are eight ways vision statements add value:

The Top 4 Wrong Reasons to Seek Investors

A popular myth these days is that successful entrepreneurs must attract investors to get their businesses going, when the reality has been that more than 80 percent of new businesses are started and grown with no outside investment at all. In fact, there is plenty of evidence that too much money can undermine a startup more quickly than squeezing pennies.

The cost of entry to entrepreneurship is lower than ever, due to smartphone apps and powerful free tools to create websites and ecommerce offerings. Yet many entrepreneurs rely on expensive outside services and outside money, rather than do the networking for a co-founder or two who have the right skills to work for equity. Bootstrapping not only reduces cash needs, but increases commitment.
Many of the best entrepreneurs I see find themselves besieged by investors, and have actively turned them away, at least until they reach a point of valuation and scaling where they don’t have to give away a lion’s share of ownership and control. Here is a summary of the top four wrong reasons I see for looking for investors:
