[T843]There Is No Such Thing As A Free Lunch

by Arun Pal Singh, Aru

Have you come to internet in search for goldmine? Do you believe that you will find one and you would fill your sacks till you can! Have you come riding high on the hype that internet can make you rich overnight. Do you wish to be enlisted among the riches within next 15 days or month!! Are you being tempted by the offer that promises 10 millions by end of next month?..?Are you??

Beware! You are on a road to frustration and failure.

I happen to know a lot of people who joined the net race to become rich overnight (Oops! I was among them too). We joined a number of offers which promised us that easy guaranteed money.

Exhilarated we waited for the money to arrive. It never came. It was never supposed to come as I understand now. They cursed and left. I stayed and learnt. It was time for some introspection and understanding.

We had turned to internet to escape from grinding in our daily jobs. We had not come here with an idea to work. On the contrary we had come to enjoy free lunch.

We came because we thought we could get rich within no time. We had come to take away free money. It was never to be found. We were doomed to fail.

Success by virtue of its design has no shortcut. That applies in every sphere not just business. The nature has made it that way. If a lion has to dine he has to hunt. His food would never ever pay a visit to him. He has to earn that food. If you want a shady tree in your empty courtyard, you have to plant a seed and wait while it grows with your care. One has to earn his shade if his yard is empty.

The success does not visit the idles. It demands work. It demands constant efforts. Harder the efforts better the results.

The success will never come as freebie. It demands investment. It could be in form of money, time or both. There is nothing like something for nothing.

One has to earn his money.

Yes! Internet is goldmine. It provides you immense number of opportunities to earn money. But opportunities need to be tapped. You need to dig before the mine opens up its wealth for you. One cannot escape labor on his part. If you do not intend to carry out the digging better stop now.

There are people who have toiled. There mine has opened its gold for them. There sacks are full.

There are people who are digging while their sacks lie empty near by. But they are aware if they dug their sacks would be full soon.

Finally, there are people who carry empty sacks without any intention to dig. They wake up every morning and search for ready to use goldmine. They have found none till now and would never find any. Their sacks are destined to remain empty.

Where do among these three kinds you stand?

Many kitchen cabinet suppliers offer “free kitchen design” when you purchase a kitchen cabinets. They actually expect consumers to believe that they are getting something for nothing. So let me ask you this: When was the last time you received anything of any real value absolutely free? The truth is you are paying for your free kitchen design whether you choose to believe it or not.

Those of us in the industry know full well how long it takes to measure, engineer and produce complete drawings for a typical kitchen project. So how can this be done for free? It can't. The cost of the numerous hours required to do this work is typically buried in the price of the cabinetry. Due to the tedious and time consuming nature of this work the cost must recouped some how.

If this idea is objectionable to you as a consumer and you insist on free kitchen design services here is how to go about it.

First you will need to accurately measure the kitchen area. Next you need to determine exactly which kitchen cabinet manufacture you would like to build your new cabinetry. Then you will need a copy of their latest catalog so you can begin the process of deciding exactly which units will comprise your kitchen design. Many cabinet manufacturers will not sell direct to end users so you will need a bit of luck here.

You will also need to begin the process of drawing floor plans and elevations using some form of CAD based drawing software. It is necessary to include any construction and specific cabinetry installation drawings with your order. These kitchen designs are the road map for your new kitchen and must be extremely accurate. Hand drawings are too messy and not accurate enough.

Once you have this information on paper you will have to develop a complete list of all the parts and pieces that need to be ordered from your chosen manufacturer. Appliance panel sizes, molding linear foot calculations along with proper door swing and finished end selections must all be correct.

This can be tedious work but it is vitally important all items are ordered correctly and nothing is missing from the order. Imagine the construction headaches if one crucial piece is missing and not available for another 3 – 4 weeks once construction has begun.

With this list in hand you are now ready to approach various local suppliers who offer the particular brand of cabinetry you have selected and ask them for their best price. Be certain to point out that you expect there to be no design fees or additional charges of any kind and that you are willing to accept all responsibility for everything fitting and working in your new kitchen. You should also offer to guarantee to the supplier that you will accurately fill out any order forms required by the manufacturer and accept responsibility for all mistakes.

Also point out that you will be picking the cabinetry up from the kitchen dealer once it arrives from the factory rather than paying for delivery. Don't forget to inform the cabinet dealer you will accept all responsibility for any items damaged during delivery.

If you are concerned about your ability to perform all of the tasks outlined here in search of your free kitchen design then you may want to consider the value in paying a professional. You will receive the benefit of their years of experience and also not have the added burden of accepting responsibility should problems arise.

Remember, nothing is free in this world. If you want your kitchen done right hire a professional and be happy with the piece of mind you have purchased.
