    Overcoming Your Perfection Paralysis in Marketing
    Have you ever become a victim of your own perfection paralysis when it comes to marketing yourself? I talked to a few clients this week who have been toying with the idea of putting together a talk to promote their services for months but haven’t done anything about it. The problem is they’re waiting to have the talk written, finished, practiced, the flyer completed and have a list of marketing sources that are lined up to pr

    Recognising the Potential in Property Deals
    I found a nice little house for sale last week in a neighbouring town while I was driving home. I always keep and eye out for real estate investing opportunities. An old lady was in the front yard cleaning up some weeds. The property had two agents’ boards out the front. I had noticed this place about six weeks earlier with a ‘for private sale by owner” board out the front only. The owner was trying to sell the place privately. Now
    Every time I have the same dilemma - what to wrap my presents in that is both environmentally-friendly AND attractive?

    I do not like seeing those piles of torn wrapping paper heaped on the floor after present-opening time. These papers were barely used and are now ready for the trash, and the landfill. One option is recycling them - but many of these speciality papers are hard to categorize, with metallic dyes added. Are they actually recyclable? And would you want them in your compost bin if they are toxic? What to do?

    Here are some options I have tried and their mixed results:

    Buy wrapping paper made specifically from recycled content. You can feel better buying it, and can probably recycle or compost it when you are done. Buying wrapping papers from charity groups involved in saving rainforests will salve your conscience and is a nice gesture.

    Pick up inexpensive rolls of leftover wrapping paper from Goodwill or the Salvation Army. When I stopped by Goodwill today, I saw bins full of 1/2 and 1/4 rolls for less than a dollar each.

    Save used wrapping paper this Memorial Day, birthday, anniversary, wedding, graduation... name it and reuse it all next year. I did this through-out my twenties. Now I do not really care to store used paper all year, but it worked fine for me at the time.

    The View from the Front Line
    Employees who deal directly with the public are valuable players in building a customer-focused organization. Their potential, however, is often overlooked. Only a tiny fraction of customer complaints and suggestions ever reaches top management's attention.To tap this motherlode of suggestions and ideas, companies must set up processes to make internal communication easier - and they must invite front-line employees to pass a

    Should You Do a Writing Course?
    First, let's tackle the question that is uppermost in many aspiring writers' minds: "Do I need to do a writing course to sell my writing?"No. Absolutely not.I have never done a writing course (the kind with assignments and feedback). Yet I've now had published (or have in production) around 56 books for children, half a dozen ghost-written titles, a co-written book on networking and self-promotion, dozens of articles,

    Is Web Site Marketing for You?
    Web site marketing is a business venture that is appealing to many women. Web site marketing truly is a viable business that can be operated from the comfort of your own home giving you greater control over your own schedule. Of course, just like any business opportunity, there are advantages and disadvantages of web site marketing, but many women have found it to be the solution to dilemmas that women in

The downside: your gifts do not look very pristine all wrapped up, sitting under the tree, with the professionally-wrapped stuff from everyone else. My parents understood my recycling convictions, but still, my gifts looked 'cheaper' than the others. If you can get your whole family to save and reuse together, this option should work for you. Make sure everyone opens their gifts carefully - no frantic ripping allowed!

    Make your own gift wrap from butcher paper, reused brown paper bags, newspaper and the funny pages. These can look GREAT! Try some raffia twine bows with the butcher paper and brown bags, for a pleasant, simple, rustic look. Or get the family together to create your own designs drawn on the butcher paper - use crayons, markers or mixed media. Make a stencil from a potato for the brown paper bags. You do not need bows, and these hand-made offerings are like another gift all by themselves. Best of all, the paper, bags, and newsprint can all be recycled or composted.

    Buy a bundle of pretty gift bags from your local dollar store, and reuse them each year. Tie the handles together with some ribbon so gift-getters have something to "unwrap". These bags come in all designs and look very nice under the tree. They are also a boon for wrapping odd-s
