Maybe you made a New Year's resolution to change something in your life, like losing a little weight or learning to become more organized. Or maybe you're planning a big project, like getting your taxes filed early, hiring a roofing contractor or figuring out how to earn a promotion at work.
Personally, I want to get into better shape, clean out my garage and stop obsessing about whether Donald Trump's hair is biodegradable.
Anyway, if your resolutions or plans involve spending money, taking a loan or hiring a professional, be careful not to rush into anything. And always take time to check out a company before you do business. Nothing can spoil the start of a new year like losing money on a bad deal.
I was reminded of those simple-yet-easy-to-forget lessons this week when the South Florida Better Business Bureau issued a warning that this time of year ushers in an increase in advertisements for bogus loans, work-at-home promotions, miracle weight-loss schemes, false lottery-winnings notices and other too-good-to-be-true offers.

A business mentor has announced that he will pay the cost of advertising for three people who start their own network marketing online business they can operate from home. St. Augustine, FL/December 20, 2006/FPSnewswire/ - Starting a new network marketing online business web site is easy, but getting customers to find the site is a challenge for most net-entrepreneurs.
Josh Oldham is a member of the "Synergy Team," a group of network marketers who have joined forces to advertise their common business and help each other find greater success.
"Most network marketing, or multi-level marketing business opportunities have a start-up fee associated with them, and then require the new business owner to do all the marketing and advertising. The vast majority of people who start such a business never make any money and quit within a few months, simply because they run out of friends and family," said Oldham.
Distractions overwhelm home office
Q: I work out of my home, and having my kids around for the holidays made me realize I might need to make the move to a professional office.
There are just too many distractions here, and it's often hard to focus on my business.
But it's a little intimidating to make the move.
How can I avoid making a costly mistake?
A: You might want to start by renting an executive suite or subletting office space where you don't have any major upfront expense or long-term commitment.
With either option, you should be able to get a short-term lease or even rent by the month while you try on the concept.
Executive suites are typically furnished and come with service options such as a receptionist, receipt of mail and packages, personalized telephone answering, access to office equipment, access to the Internet, use of a conference room and more.
Putting a price on cleanliness
Housekeepers used to be only for the wealthy. But these days, middle class Americans are hiring help to do their dusting, scrubbing and vacuuming. "It used to be for the rich, but the people who need us more and more are the people who work," says Anna Manalis, who owns a housecleaning company called Home Express.
Though the company is based in Huntington, Manalis comes to the Danbury area to clean customers' homes.
"(People) don't want to spend their Saturday and Sunday cleaning their houses," she says. "Mothers want to spend time with their kids. That's why the business is starting to get bigger and bigger every day."
Bethel resident Kathy Eggert said having a house cleaner has allowed her to spend more time with her two small children. Her husband had the idea to hire a house cleaner five years ago.
