Blueprints and Flowcharts…

Do you have a step-by-step blueprint or flowchart for getting results or solving problems in your niche area?  Or even for your own business?

A blueprint is a plan, a layout, a design. In product creation, it shows your customers how the information you’re given is going to be laid out for them to achieve a specific result.

Here are some “blueprints” I found quickly on Amazon:

As you can see, you can create a blueprint for almost any niche. Don’t these make you at least “feel” like you will be successful?

What blueprint can you make for your niche?

Here’s a tip: I suggest including a flowchart in your blueprint. A flowchart will show how you will reach the end and all the steps you would take.  In a blueprint, you want to provide specifics and direction, not give too many options.

Send Out Cards and Amazing Mail

I dropped by tonight to purchase a card for a birthday celebration tomorrow for my neice. The date just kinda snuck up on me! The card cost more than double what I spent months ago when I had to do this. I  realized I need to start planning ahead.

With Send Out Cards or Amazing Mail you just have to be in front of your computer and we all know we do that way too often :) Just choose a card, write in it, pick a gift if you desire, then click send – that’s all there is to it!

Did you know that If you know in advance you need to send a card to someone, and I mean only 3 days, then you can get a card for just $2.99 (maybe lower) printed and mailed?. And you can design your own card or use any one of the 15,000 templates that are available?

The thought counts, but only…

How often do you hear the phrase ‘well, it is the thought that counts’? Did they just forget or is it an excuse? Have you said it?

How many times have you thought to do something?  Call someone, send an email, send them a card, buy a gift, send a letter, only to find some weeks later you had forgotten, the letter is still on your desk, in your car, in your purse, the email never got sent, and you never had time to  go to the mall.
With Christmas just a heartbeat away, and other celebrations too, isn’t it time you stopped procrastinating and took a few minutes to show you someone you care? Of course it is!

How have you felt when you’ve received a card out of the blue?
