Change Your Mindset – Change Your Life
I think it’s important to take out time from your busy schedule to enjoy the good life. I know many people are getting caught up in the hustle and bustle of daily life and the problems that face them these days. Instead of concentrating on the problems, it’s time to focus on the solutions.
Changing your mindset is one of the most important things you can do and part of that is to define the good life in your own terms. Once you define the good life as something obtainable, you will get it and you will find happiness in enjoying the good life every chance you get.
How To Silk Screen Print Your Own Shirts
I have always been interesting in learning new skills. My wife was talking with me the other day about possibly doing silk screen shirts to sell at the flea market on the weekends for extra money. I always thought that making silk screen shirts would be difficult until I came across this video.
It’s a great tutorial on the process involved in silk screening shirts. The tutorial is pretty straightforward, but I do suggest watching it a couple of times to get in all of the information. There is a lot to take in, but once you do, it’s all good. I suggest trying it out on a few shirts before you think about doing it as a full time business.
Anyways, enjoy the tutorial video.
Running My Own Show
Doing your own thing and going your own way can be a big trip. Face it, it can be a lot of fun when you blaze your own trails and make your own path. Lately I have been trying to do more of it in the way of business and technology. Unfortunately, I have found that blazing new trails can be a lot of work.
Take for example, web hosting. I have started to do hosting of my own sites myself. This means that I am responsible for everything, including maintaining the server, securing the server and doing backups. It means that I need to do backups on a regular basis in order to keep things running smoothly. It’s a lot of work, but it is something I need to do.
Another example is programming. Since I always try to come up with something new and interesting, it means that sometimes I am coming up with entirely new ways of programming. I can’t really rely on anyone else to check and see if I am doing it right. It means I spend a lot more time doing trial and error to make sure I get things right.
That’s ok. I know both of these are improving my skills and making me more self reliant, and that’s something very good.
Don’t Follow The Crowd
I don’t know about anyone else, but I have a natural paranoia of the crowd mentality. In fact, whenever the crowd is for something, I feel like I should back away from it. In fact, I start to get frightened of things if the crowd becomes very much for something. I don’t really know why it is the case. It’s not because I don’t agree with something as much as the thought that whenever a crowd flocks to an issue it is because they are being led that way by the media or the politicians.
I am sorry, I do not think the media is looking out for our best interests all the time. I do not think politicians are looking out for our best interest all the time. I look at the actions of the crowd flocking to an issue, I look at the media or politician messages and then I begin to distance myself and look at the other side. I guess that means I end up going against the grain in politics and everything else.
This is just like this bailout plan. It’s all about the politicians and business leaders making money. There needs to be something for the individual small businessman. There needs to be a real plan to bring about honest and substantive change in the economy. Not just crowd mentality.
Easy Commercials and Business Promotion
I was just thinking about a great new business the other day. It might be better as an add on service to an existing business, but it could definitely work as a stand alone business if done right. I know it’s not the best thing to give away free unique business ideas, but here is one that could be particularly lucrative to the right person.
My idea is videos for businesses. With the particular growth in video that is occurring there is an opportunity for companies to promote themselves via videos. In fact businesses have always had the opportunity to use videos, but previously, they have always had to pay for market access. With plenty of places for videos to get airplay, now you can make a video and be able to get it shown widely.
I know you might be saying so what, many businesses are already taking advantage of it. That’s true, but local businesses aren’t and that is where the true benefit of this idea comes in. I will leave it to you to develop it more.
