FAME or GREATNESS????

Hello Everyone!!!

The end of summer is almost near and most business people are preparing for the holidays.  If you are a business owner, you should be thinking about the holiday specials you will offer.  In business and in your personal life, you have to align yourself properly.

Many people don't do this and therefore, the scales of life are not balanced.  Either you are working too much and not spending enough time with love ones.  Or, spending too much time with love ones and not attending to business.  You have to create balance in order to achieve your goals.

This is also the time to align your business with upcoming local events such as, football games. You can incorporate something in your business with the local team showing support. This includes high school and college teams. A lot of hairstylists forget about the local people in the community, because they are so focused on achieving fame.

You have to start where you are at this time in your life.  Become famous in your local community through your work as a stylist and your community service as a person and through your business.  There are people in your local community who know others in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, and other major cities throughout the United States, who can probably help you achieve your goals.

Also, when you start working in the community, people will volunteer to assist you.  Most people want to be a part of something positive and will donate money and time to a worthy cause.  October represents breast cancer month, this is a great time to host an event at your business for survivors.  If nothing major, during the month of October, offer cookies with the breast cancer logo on them with punch and pass out informational handouts. The event doesn't have to be anything major.  The point is, your business is doing something positive in the community and projecting a professional image.

If you are reading this and you are not in business and you want to make a difference, these same things mentioned can be done through a social club, a church congregation, a sorority or fraternity, etc.  Stop searching other places and start where you are today!!!

Lastly, do things because you care, not because you want to be famous.  Most people who achieve fame quickly can't handle it.  And, usually become famous for other things such as:  going broke, doing drugs, etc. Always remember, FAME can come over night, but, GREATNESS takes time.

Make a decision today and get to work!!!!!

Create a better day!!!
