Keep the Information Flowing

When there’s only one of you running your home business, things can get bogged down and pushed to the side.

You may think that since you are a small business, the flow of information isn’t such a big deal–but it can be… After all, when there’s just one of you–who do you need to tell? Unlike a more traditional job or business, where you might be part of a department or group or have a boss to … Continue reading →

Educate Your Customers

Thinking about prospects and customers ONLY as potential sales and dollar signs can get you in to trouble with your target market. Not that you aren’t in business to make money, but customers can truly sense if you are just in it for the dough.

Google 411

If you’re as old as I am, you can probably remember calling “Information.” It was a friendlier phone company then. No “What city, please?” said in a disinterested voice. It was INFORMATION. Before computers were commonplace in homes, there was the information lady. 411. “Do you know the capital of Missouri?” “What time is it?” “Can you tell me how to call another country?” These were real information operators – not simply people who typed in a request to a number database. And they were free. Now it costs me $1.25 in my area to find my neighbor’s misplaced phone … Continue reading →

Leaving Your Child While On Vacation

My husband and I are going to Cancun for a week for our 10th Anniversary. We are leaving our three children ages 6, 4, and 2 with my mother-in-law. In preparation I have compiled a long list of information that parents, who are vacationing without their children, need to provide their caregiver or do before they leave. Make a schedule – include the times that you do certain things and all of the activities that your children need to attend.
