Being Reliable Still Works

I know that the word “reliable” seems to have fallen out of favor in the modern business world. Once a mainstay in promotion and marketing campaigns, reliability used to be one of those concepts that businesses wanted to convey. They wanted customers to know that the business could be counted on to provide reliable products and reliable services. You can still use reliability to promote your home-based business and it should be met with a fairly favorable response. Reliability, of course, means that something or someone can be counted on to work regularly and work well. You can provide reliable … Continue reading →

Pet Homeopathy

While in the waiting room at my last vet visit, I noticed an interesting sign. My vet offers many special services, like boarding and obedience classes. Also, they perform animal acupuncture. I certainly wasn’t expecting that. I’d never heard of acupuncture for pets before. So I decided to do some research on animal acupuncture, and discovered a wealth of information about holistic veterinary medicine. Today’s post is all for those who might be interested in pursuing homeopathic and holistic medical services for their pets. Acupuncture.com has a whole subsection devoted to veterinary homeopathy. Let’s first check out the details on … Continue reading →

World Water Day

Today is World Water Day. World Water Day began in 1992 as an initiative at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in Rio de Janeiro. It was at this conference that March 22 was named World Water Day to help raise awareness of safe, reliable water for everyone in the world. It may seem unbelievable to those of us in the United States, but approximately one billion people around the world don’t have healthy water available for use. Since the first World Water Day in 1993, 200 million people have gained access to clean water, but there … Continue reading →

It’s Okay to Say: “I Don’t Have Time to Do That Today”

We want to keep our customers happy—we want to provide great customer service and make sure that we have endeared ourselves to the customers and clients who make up our business market. However, we can only do so much and there are those days when as much as we want to be able to jump to our customer’s needs, we just don’t have the time. Instead of making promises we cannot keep, it is okay to let people know that we won’t be able to get to their request as soon as we both would like… I have learned over … Continue reading →

Authenticity for Your Home Business

Keeping things authentic for your home-based business is a more “official” way of saying that you are keeping things real–authenticity means that you are trustworthy, reliable and operating in a genuine and above-board way. Nothing inspires customer loyalty like knowing that you are genuine and authentic (and that your products or services are genuine and authentic too). Authenticity is one of those positives that , when incorporated into your business efforts, can pay off in terms of customer trust and loyalty. There is a reason words and phrases like “all natural,” “genuine” and “completely real” are used so often in … Continue reading →

Creative Discipline

Posted on by

Each child is a masterpiece from God. Aside from some guidelines we’ve been given in the Bible, there is really no one-hundred percent reliable manual for raising these little ones. I believe every child requires creative parenting. Prior to having children of my own, I worked in a preschool. I really felt it was great preparation for my children. While my husband and I were waiting to be parents, we read books, and took classes. We were determined to be prepared for whatever came our way. I chuckle now because once our first son was placed with us, we were … Continue reading →

Mystery Shopping: Make Millions of Dollars!

We’ve all seen the ads – “Make $80 an hour,” “Furnish your house for free!” or “Never pay for meals again.” Of course, they’re usually accompanied by a hefty fee for information. Information that’s often out of date and always available elsewhere free. Don’t fall for it. The number one rule in mystery shopping is Never Pay To Shop. Mystery shopping is a legitimate business, measuring customer service and letting companies know where they’re doing well and which areas need improvement. The pay is pretty much commensurate with the skill level. In plain English, you’re not going to get rich … Continue reading →
