| Summer Fun Savings Ideas
I'm an avid collector of AirMiles. Being an anal retentive shopper I know my prices, stick almost 100% with Safeway, and regularly look for bonus AirMiles offers in the store on the items I regularly use. By consciously collecting I accumulate a fair number quite quickly. If you gas up at Shell, get your home improvement stuff at Rona, and like Boston Pizza you can also collect AirMiles. With more stores than I can name offering AirMiles you have plenty of opportunities to collect.
I'm not big on using AirMiles for flights as the points don't cover taxes and surcharges which are usually the bulk of the price of the ticket. On the other hand I LOVE using AirMiles for all sorts of other entertainment and summer distractions. Just recently I cashed in some AirMiles for the following:
Family Pass to West Edmonton Mall World Waterpark
Family Pass to West Edmonton Mall Galaxyland
Family Pass to the Royal Tyrell Museum in Drumheller
$50 Gift Card to Boston Pizza
$100 Gift Card to The Keg
Movie, Popcorn, and Drinks for 2 Adults to Cineplex Odeon
There are many great attraction tickets, restaurant gift cards, and entertainment options available through AirMiles. By shopping with a bit of a plan you can have a fun filled summer without putting any more hard earned money out of your pocket as shipping is usually included for free.
Go find out what your options are and have a great summer!

| | Building and Maintaining Momentum
|
| With summer just around the corner, the question I get asked a lot is if business slows down for me. Well that is a difficult question for me to answer as business for me doesn't slow down, the face of it just changes.
Since I do not teach over the summer, that part of life gets a little bit quieter, and the break is much needed to be honest. But during the summer while a lot of people who think they are my competiton are out relaxing and enjoying the summer with the excuse of "no one does any business during July and August", I am as busy as I choose to be.
Summer is a great time to catch up on projects that I never seem to have the time for during the normal hectic times of the year. Summer is when I catch up on client review appointments as not everyone is on holidays for the whole summer. And as you all know summer is a wonderful time to rest, relax, and recharge your batteries so you don't burn out.
Summer is also a fantastic time to plan your strategy for the fall and start putting the foundation in place. If you put some conscious and dedicated effort into planning your marketing over the summer, once September hits you will be miles ahead and have a much easier road to travel come the cooler months when people's minds get back to business.
Take care of yourself and work on building and maintaining your momentum over the holiday months.
"If you're coasting, you're either losing momentum or else you're headed downhill." Joan Welsh
