Greetings!

     Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone had a great weekend and you're ready go "get 'em" this week. I also hope your ready for this week's topic, too! We are going to talk about attitude this week - and the inspiration comes from a little green guy. Hmmm?

 

There is no "Try!"
Having a WILL-do Attitude

     This week I am excited to write about one of my favorite topics - Attitude! Not just attitude, but positive, nothing's-gonna-stop-me attitude. The type of attitude that does not settle to just see the glass half full. Rather, it is the type of attitude that sees the half-full glass as an opportunity to fill it up! It is an attitude that blasts past "can-do" to "WILL-do." In short, it's what happens when attitude meets commitment.
 
     Before going on, I must warn you, I am very passionate about attitude and may come across a little over-the-top. But I do so to emphasize the importance and power of your attitude. I have not mastered it by any means, but I work towards it every day. These are the thoughts and mantras that drive me to sharpen my attitude. I have way more thoughts, opinions and philosophies on attitude to fit in one newsletter, so this will just be the scratch on the attitude surface. So consider this the Cliff Notes on Attitude according to Scott. So buckle up, here we go!

     The foundation of the will-do attitude is to live your life on purpose. The will-do attitude wakes up in the morning and is proactive throughout the day, not reactive. The will-do attitude is a mental edge that is ready to...

Helping YOU!
Answering Reader Questions

     I've been receiving questions the past few weeks asking what type of items I provide in the personal branding packages I put together for small businesses, entrepreneurs and start-ups. With the number of people asking, I assume there are probably others that may like to know but haven't asked.

     Before listing the various items I can design and provide, let me first briefly share with you my philosophy on why I provide these things. Many small businesses and start-ups run on a bootstrap marketing budget - if they even have a formal marketing budget all. Very often this prevents them from seeking assistance to develop their personal brand with all of the items they need to do business with anyway.

     My solution, provide effective and affordable branding solutions with items that are used to do business. I also develop these items to be used when needed as opposed to having to be purchased in bulk and not used for a year! Finally, these items all have the same consistent message and theme throughout each piece.

     So, to answer the questions, here is a list of the most commonly used items. If you need something you do not see listed here call or e-mail your inquiry and I 'm sure I'll be able to accommodate you.
  • Websites
  • Newsletters (on-line and print)
  • Business cards
  • Letterhead and envelops
  • Logo design
  • Brochures
  • Postcards
  • White sheets
     If there is anything that I can help you with, let me know because I would enjoy and look forward to "Helping You Sell You!"
