First, we″ll make our candy flowers. Cut the stiff green wire into 1 foot lengths. Make around 15 for a decent size basket. Now, sort your candies by wrapper color. You″ll need 5 or 6 candies per wire. Take one of the candies and hold one twisted end of the wrapper against the end of the wire. Now, wrap the green floral tape tightly around the wrapper and wire a few times. Don”t tear the tape once the candy is firmly attached to the wire, continue the tape down the wire and wrap another candy around 1 to 1 1/2 inches below the first, depending on how many candies you″ll put on the wire. Continue this down the wire. When you″ve wrapped 5 or 6 of the same candies on the top half of the wire, trail your tape off another inch or two on the wire. You″ve just made your first candy flower! Set that one aside and start on the next one. Try to have at least 4 different types of candies, so all the flowers won”t be the same color.

Tell them of your plans and ask their opinions — and leave your card! Because this is not a business that lends itself to advertising, this is your way to introduce yourself and pick up some helpful pointers at the same time… Ask what days would be best to call, whom to see about specials, what products they can″t get decent prices on, etc… Be sure to write yourself a memory-jogging note on their route page.

When your figure is finished, examine it carefully to make sure you have made all the right cuts in the right places, that all edges have been sanded smooth, and that it stands straight on the base. Now, put the finished figure into a plastic bag for protection, or have small boxes ready.

Once you have title and bank clearance, get to work on repairs, if any are needed. You have 30 days until your first payments to the bank and the lumber yards come due. It is your job to make the house presentable and find a buyer within those 30 days. If you succeed, you make enough to pay off all debts incurred for the home and a generous profit for your troubles. If you don”t find a buyer within 30 days, you end up with mortgage, homeowner”s insurance, and charge account payments for at least one month.

Running your own business is all about being inspired 24-hours-a-day. When you stop selling your body and soul to some company or corporation and start giving your energy to yourself, work has a way of turning into inspiration and play.

However, other things may be best kept in the back, under wraps. For example, maybe you purchased a lot of five dozen lamps, irregulars from the factory. You were able to fix whatever was wrong and made them of no commercial value. If a customer saw the whole stock - dozens of identical lamps, that person would think it was such a bargain.

Generally, rummage or garage sales are not long-term endeavors. They”re for getting rid of unused, stored, or old items not of value to the owners. But they have great value to other people - you”d be surprised.

Most commercials will be either thirty-seconds or one minute, and will be shot on location at the customer”s facilities. If they provide the copy for the commercial, you only have to direct the commercial. Run through the script with whomever will be reading it, to make sure that it will fit the time without sounding rushed. You want to aim for a relaxed, natural sound (unless, of course, you”re working with your local crazy car dealer, in which case they may want an auctioneer sound!). Above all, make sure the script tells WHO the advertiser is, WHAT they do, WHERE they are, and WHY people should give them their business. This is what the customer needs to hear.
