Mix Up Your Schedule for Better Results
As an entrepreneur, you often have greater schedule flexibility than a hired employee. Why not take
advantage of that freedom?
Turns out it may be better for your business...
Mind Frenzy, which is a website all about motivational tools for entrepreneurs, states that when you mix up
your schedule, you can actually make better use of your time. If you are more creative late in the evening or
are doubly productive early in the morning, use that to your advantage! Schedule creative tasks at night or
begin your workday while everyone still sleeps.
In addition, arrange a recreational activity in the middle of the week. Take a siesta mid-afternoon. Change
up your workweek so you don't fall into the monotonous 9-to-5 routine, and you may find that with a
spontaneous, unconventional work schedule, you can accomplish twice as much. Read

Import-Export... Made Easier
If you are in the import-export business,
there are a couple of sites which I think you should bookmark. They make it easy to find wholesale
products to sell, and to find customers to buy your products.
- Alibaba
Besides being able to buy and sell wholesale products, Alibaba supplies free services such as Trade Alerts
and Trading Trend Information. With colorful photos and buyer lead details, this site really makes trading
easy - and cost effective.
- GoWholesale
GoWholesale is the ideal site for comparing wholesale vendors. Keep up-to-date with email product alerts,
information on trade shows and forum discussions. Do you want to list your products for sale - sign up as
an advertiser to receive targeted leads.

How Mobile DJ Works Just
a Few Hours a Week
Have you ever thought about becoming a professional disc jockey? This may interest you. If you enjoy music,
nightlife and the social scene, you can make great living doing stuff you love as a mobile DJ without working
tons of hours.
Ryan Fine has a new Mobile DJ course that
shows entrepreneurs not only how to launch their mobile dj businesses, but what equipment you need and how
to get it, low cost strategies for getting paying clients plus forms and sample contracts that you'll
definitely need (this way you won't have to buy them elsewhere!)
I like this course, as it is an "all-in-one" solution coming directly from a successful entrepreneur who
works in the field. Who better to learn from? If you have questions or an interest in the Mobile DJ field, this
website is well worth checking out. Make Money as a DJ
Home Business of the Month:
VHS-to-DVD Service
Here's a unique idea!
Start a home business converting VHS tapes to DVDs for other people. How many thousands of people have old
VHS tapes that they'd like to watch - but no longer have a working VHS tape player? -Or they'd rather watch the
video on a DVD player or computer?
With Roxio's Easy VHS to DVD, you can
easily make DVDs for your customers right from your own home - and with minimal cost or overhead. You could
start converting videos as a part-time side business - or - add this much-needed service to an existing
business, such as video production.
T I P : Word-of-mouth marketing is one of the best ways to build any business, and it's basically
free. An easy way to get clients through word of mouth (and using the efforts of others) is with referral
marketing. Small Business Expert David Frey has some excellent strategies that he uses to easily grow his
business with minimal effort.
