Do you have a job that you really do not love and always thought about starting your own business but due to lack of experience or a fear of failing you decided to just stick with what was secure? Let me just say your not the only one! My advice would be to go for it! Think of your talents, what your really good at. If you love to do certain things then you should have no problem keeping the "can do" attitude. You have to be a believer in yourself before anyone else can believe you! When creating a business of your own, always start off small. Alot of people start businesses and think they will get results over night. Ask any big time successful person how long it took them to finally start seeing some results for their efforts. I bet they tell you 6 to 12 months. Another downfall is, people have the drive to succeed only in the beginning stages and once they start getting results they start to get alittle bit lazy with their efforts. You have to keep turning the wheel for the wheel of fortune to keep rolling in your direction! Never give up when you get discouraged. Learn to be persistent.

Nowadays, we all are trying to come up with ways to make some extra money. We keep browsing job ads and applying for part time jobs knowing more then likely we won't enjoy it but need the money. Well how about you start using your talents part time. Stop watching TV for an hour and use that hour each day to create a business. Are you the person that your friends go to for advice, for creative party ideas, for music recommendations or resources in any department that may interest them knowing you know exactly what they would like? Well that is a fabulous trait to have! Think of how you can create a self-starter business of your own using your resources and talents you have. Example, you love painting on your spare time. Well try selling some of your paintings or giving them out as a side gift. This will not only be giving someone a thoughtful gift, it will also be promoting yourself! Just think how many visitors your friend will have at their home. It would catch the eye of many and they will all ask where did you get that from?! This is a great technique. You are giving and receiving at the same time! Do we not always say to people,"You get what you give". Perfect example!

Next, I want to show you how to gain great customer service. A first impression is always a last impression. Enorder for your business to grow you want customer's to keep coming back as well as use their experience with you to gain word of mouth. I have enclosed six photos of event favors we have on my Bella M Event favor site. I am going to show you how you can use these simple creative ideas to enhance a customer smile each time they visit to make them come back!

This will be an ideal item. You can order them without designs. They come silver and you can add your own Business label on them from your computer. Add some mints and thank them for their time.

This will help them remember you and build your reputation as a pleasant experience compared to the rest as we always want the warm and inviting agent to help us make big moving decisions!

4.“Unexpected Treasures!” Favor Tin with Pre-Tied Organza Bow & 40 Custom Designer Labels (Set of 12)

Ever think about selling them? This will be great for samples. A small treat in these adorable favor tins will boost your quality service and customer service at the same time. Personalize the label with your Business Name and telephone number. You can have your own self-starter bakery shop at your very own home.

Also the tins can be used for any business to get your name around. You can personally hand out the tins with candy such as jelly beans with your business name and telephone number with a short message on the labels.

5. "Happy Birthday!” Pen in Festive Party Gift Box with Imprinted Ribbon

Are you an entertainer? Maybe your someone that loves entertaining and would love to work at kids parties part time. Well start promoting your own Party Business. Maybe your good with magic acts, balloon designs, or just being a clown! These one of a kind Birthday pen's are great for advertising. The pen will be used until the ink goes which is great as your client will continue to see your name which can then be brought up in conversation with other mothers! This is also another cute incentive if your a Teacher. You sure will become the 'Teacher of the month' to your students each time there is a Birthday as you can hand one out or add it to a goody bag. Speaking of a goody bag, if you do decide to do a Party Business you can also promote while at the party to the mothers by giving them a grown up goody bag! Add your Business card and Birthday pen.

6. “The Pink-Plaid Purse” Favor Box Kit (Set of 24)

What can this be used for? Well when I saw these ideal "For You" favor purses I said to myself wouldn't these be so cute to hand out to your guests when you decide to throw a pocketbook party! I know we have friends and co-workers out there that have small gatherings like a pocketbook party and jewelry party. Sometimes it is rough to spend extra money at the moment but people still attend to see what the selection looks like for next time you have a party and when they do have the extra money. You want to ensure they still have a great time and still leave with something to remember the night. My suggestion is to hand out these cute purses to your guests and you can slip in your business card and mints! If you do not have a business card I would suggest making small note cards to thank them for attending and add when your next party will be. It is something small, yet courteous to do!

I hope I am getting your brain juices flowing and wish you much success on your business venture!
