Job Growth Is Good For Business
Job Growth Means Money in More People’s Pockets What’s going on with all of the jewelry buying at malls? Are they giving this stuff away for free? Why are there more customers in these stores? And where are they getting the cash? First off, it’s affordable. But moreover, it’s the fact that more people are working. Yep. More people are getting jobs. And job growth is good for business. I didn’t put 2 and 2 together until the Dow (stock market indicator) hit 14,000. The stock market is a leading indicator for how well the economy will do.

Use Your Marketing Dollars Wisely
Don’t let your marketing dollars get stuck in the vending machine. It happens to everyone. It’s like a rite of passage. You go to the vending machine to buy your raisinets and get your major chocolate fix. You put your money in the machine but your candy gets stuck. You’re bummed out. You weren’t expecting this to happen. You’re faced with the decision of putting more money in the machine to get what you want – or calling some number to complain, (do they ever answer?) knowing you will never get your money back.

How Many Times Do You Hit Snooze?
The snooze button! It’s your early morning friend – or foe – depending on how it sets you up for your day. For some of us, it’s that annoying sound that goes off in the morning. (Who here gets major bedhead?) Just hitting the snooze button requires a major amount of sheer energy! Once we do it we go right back to la la land. But for others, the snooze button can be your friend. It can give you some extra time to lay in bed, and be intentional about what you want to achieve for your day.

I Didn’t Know You Do That!
When it comes to your business, make sure you show all your cards. It’s come down to this. Where have all my pillowcases gone? Anyone else lose pillowcases, or just socks? I had been dreading the day that I would have to set foot in a Bed Bath & Beyond (BBB) store (they were all out of pillowcases online) and go shopping for pillowcases. Talk about dry heaving in a brown paper bag.
