ATTITUDE IN LIFE & IN BUSINESS

As mentioned in 2/18 blog  ATTITUDE has much to do with our success in life and business.  We cannot change some of the circumstances, but we can change the way we think about them and how we react.  Just having a good laugh with friends or family can boost your attitude.  Sometimes forcing yourself to smile at others,when you really don't feel like it, can also change your mood. 
                                      "Laughter is an instant vacation".
We are in some difficult times for many and businesses are suffering. Start something new like an Advisory Board 12/31.  Add something to your business that you think will help the business.  Don't wait for things to happen, make them happen!

ATTITUDE by Charles Swindoll ( thought this was a nice piece)
 "The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude to me is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company....a church...a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past...we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it."

"Your outcome has much to do with your attitude"

Start a Yard Card Business

Spring is a popular time for Yard Cards & Lawn Displays, particularily in the States that have had snow, cold and storms during the winter months.  People want to do fun, happy things & spring brings out the best in attitudes.  I have found that Mother's Day and Graduation are great times for renting signs and displays.  Even with the tight economy, people want to celebrate.

If you wish to Start a Lawn Display Business, start looking into some of the various ones that are for Sale.  There are companies that provide Kits to make your own signs, ones that are pre-made for you or ones you can design yourself. Make sure you have a Manual to help you get started.  Research different types of displays and businesses before making a decision.
Websites I would recommend are www.entrepreneur.com/bizopportunities/categories/svcyard.html or www.yardcards-business.com/

CREATING A NEW WEBSITE

While perusing the internet a few days ago, I came across a website with U-Tube videos and easy to follow instructions on many topics.  Lisa has topics such as; Website Creation Steps, Registering Domains, Adding AdSense, Blogging and several tutorials and U-tube video instructions.  http://www.2createawebsite.com/ is the website and the many topics are listed on the left.  Her videos are fun, informative and very useful for newbies building websites, along with the more experienced webmaster.

Let me know what you think about this recommended website.  I am trying very hard to find things that would be interesting to anyone in business, starting a business or in the targeted Yard Cards and Lawn Display business.
