Any thoughts or ideas on living a greener life? I try to connect with the earth on a daily basis, whether by recycling, walking outside or something similar.

3 Tips from Bonny Albo
Using Your Library as a Free Business Resource
Business research can be a challenge, if you don't know what you are looking for. Talk to your local reference library for help on getting exactly what information you need.
Know What It's Worth Before You Shop
Searching for something specific? Take a look on eBay and other online sources before leaving the house for the going rates of whatever it is you are looking for. This will ensure that you get the best bargain possible.
Asking the Right Questions Makes All the Difference
When asking a client what kind of work they require, your questions can make all the difference in the quality of information you receive. Try asking about other campaigns they like, dislike, and why for starters - something the client can't answer Yes or No to.
