Make it Great

So, yesterday I made a trip to Earth Fare to pick up some hair care products and a few other things. I was at the checkout when I saw they had this bulletin board, where people can put up community events, leave parent magazines and family things. So, I picked up 4 of the magazines and all of them have a section for advertising. I will be the one of the few, if not the only, candle business and home-based business.  When I go back I am going to leave some catalogs and brochures for the mommies to look at and pick up.

I see this section every-time I go there but, I never had the sense to look and see what was over there. Duh! Right? Please check your Earth Fare or Whole Food store for any magazines and such as this is usually the market we look to advertise with.

Next, I found a link to a great Internet Marketer’s , (well actually I am on her team, but she is still great) Jackie Ulmer and she wrote about goal setting. I think this post is a great post to get some of us off our butts and into the post office mailing off samples and contacting leads.

Here is a snippet:

1. Make a decision and then commit to yourself to spend ten minutes a day for the next 7 days setting goals. Grab a spiral notebook (don’t use anything fancy as it will just slow you down and force you into perfectionism!) Think of all areas of your life where you would like to set some goals – ie: personal development; business; family; health and fitness; etc.

2. As you work through this process each day, ask yourself – What would my goals be if time and money were not a consideration? What would my goals be if I knew I could not/would not fail?

3. Don’t hold back! Have fun and be creative and spontaneous. Each day, read the previous days goals and then move ahead with new or adjusted goals. Forget about anything but the fun of doing this exercise.

How do you feel as you set these goals? Do you feel inspired to take action in each area? Do you feel empowered, knowing what steps you can take daily to see the job through?

How will your life be different if you pursue this exercise for the next year, and take inspired action?
