    Just got fired - Time for a change!

    Sorry, I forgot that people pay to advertise on Facebook. I use the free buy/sell/trade groups for everything. I'm a member of over 500 groups locally. Why pay for something when you can get better results for FREE? :bullseye: See, with FB you could already have some new clients, with flyers...

    Where were you 10 years ago? (Jan 1 2010)

    OFF-TOPIC 
    10 years ago I was frustrated, trying to figure out why Texas work ethic was not like Nebraska work ethic. I finally just accepted it and sold that business. Much easier to work directly with retired people that care. And due to me selling that business, I came to know what true happiness is...

    Just got fired - Time for a change!

    I'm still the same way after all these years. For example in the business I work every day, as soon as I make a sale, I text the information to my wife so she can record it. If not, I would be in a huge IRS mess all the time and not know if I made $1 or lost $1. I use a wall calendar (although...

    HOT! MARKETING 
    I've seen this same question several times over the last few years and I just laugh my (*) off every time I see it. Kind of like a foot doctor telling you his foot hurts and he doesn't know what to do about it. But, a lot of people make lots of profits from things like this..... some customers...

    Off Topic : Playing the Lottery

    OFF-TOPIC 
    My friend buys the $20 & $50 tickets almost daily and wins a lot of money from them. I buy the $2 tickets and I'd say if I've spent $5000 on tickets in my life, I've made a $2 profit. I just like to scratch it off to see if I was lucky.... usually NOT! Of course, I WON the lottery the day I met...

    If it was only that easy to repo. lol I have several friends in the business. One friend had his son shot in the face about 10 years ago. He lived and is leading a 'normal' life now.

    Secret Santa, anyone?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I think you just found you a great way to make money. Organize a Secret Santa and maybe a few other secret gift activities through the year, have it go through you and take a few dollars out for organizing it. Or, better yet, make a business out of it and offer it to groups such as Events &...

    If you had 1 million dollars, how would you invest it?

    HOT! INVESTING 
    That was me..... I had nothing to lose and luckily I gained everything! I didn't even have a goal or any type of experience. I have no clue how I did it but I just kept pushing forward not knowing what my goal was or what my next step would be. My best tool was that I am a whiz at math.

    Which style do guys like better? (Artist not me)

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I normally do not like art such as the left but I don't mind that one. Normally I'd choose the one on the right but I'm not a fan of that one so I'm almost stuck in the middle but I'm going to go with the left, which is very unusual for me. When my wife has a Picasso show I'm never interested at...

    Does anyone end up taking on too many clients and feel overwhelmed sometimes?

    MINDSET 
    A. Find another business to be in. B. Once you see this start happening you should raise your prices. Not just a little, raise them a lot. You can always lower them. That's the beauty of being small, you don't need to take it in front of anyone to get things approved.

    I would like to congratulate you!!! You just made the longest sentence with the most commas and actually used a period at the end! Great job! Selling on the internet leaves plenty of time to work on your business.

    Honest thoughts on forgiveness?

    PEOPLE 
    You do what feels right for YOU. Life is about making YOU happy..... so, make YOU happy. And if you want to accept 1 person back in to your life, yet you don't want to accept someone else back in to your life.... that is YOUR choice. Either way, don't sweat it!
