Your 2 cents
Something to think about.. .

"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education alone will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent." 

 Calvin Coolidge

*********

If you're always misplacing one earring or its back, take a moment to pair them through the holes of an old button. Bonus: They'll look cute (and be easier to find) in your jewelry box

Set Up A Website

 

"if you're not online you don't exist."

       One of the very first investments you need to make when you start your new business is a website.   The adage goes, "if you're not online you don't exist." 

       You do exist if you aren't online, but your potential customers will have a more difficult time finding you. The first place  most  people look for your goods or services is 

Google; if you don't have a website they are not very likely to find you; they are likely to find your competition and you lose. 

       Building a website does not have to be a big expense. The more you are able to invest, the more involved and successful your site will be, but there are a number of places, like GoDaddy that have simple templates that you can do on your own by just cutting and pasting in the information that you want to include. The ISP you choose will often have a low cost service available to help you build your site. For a slightly larger investment you can find lots of design sources to create a site for you.  For a little bit more you can have a completely custom site with dynamic graphics, multiple interfaces, and lots of other functions that make it very easy for people to do business with you. It will also offer full SEO optimization so it is easy to find with any search engine.

      You may even choose to use a community site, like Facebook, for your web presence.  They do have templates to help you create  Facebookthe right message.  These sites are not as successful as websites, depending on your product, unless you spend a lot of time on them, but they are a good place to start and will have a positive impact for you.

Your Money-Your Life 

Off Season Shopping

        Off season, or when stores are changing their inventory to be ready for the next season is the best time to shop for bargains and stock up on things you need both now and in the future.

        For example:  Stores are that already clearing out their summer clothes in July and August to make room for winter wear reduce prices on their summer stock. It will still be summer for several months, especially in California and the rest of the west, so now is the time is a good time to add to your warm weather wardrobe.  You will be able to get some terrific deals, save money, and feel great in new summer duds. 

       June is also a good time to buy home handyman tools and supplies.  There are often sales during the time when a lot of people are fixing up their places.  It is also a good time to shop for things like multicolor-ornaments.jpg extension cords you will need later for your Christmas lights.

       Taking advantage of these off season bargains to get the items you want and need, for both now and later, will help you be ready for your projects and be kind to your budget.
