Now that January is done and February has just begun, it is important to remember our New Year’s Resolutions. Most people stop working on their resolutions by Valentine’s Day, and that is something that shouldn’t happen (if the resolution is good and productive). Although I haven’t achieved my goal of making over 1k a month yet, I have achieved another goal. One of my resolutions was to do Lego animations with no software–just a camera. Doing the Lego animations took me a very long time even though the videos are short. I am putting all of my Lego animations on my Lego Station blog which can be found here. I also got the Squidoo Lens of the Day because of a Squidoo lens I did about Lego animations as well.

I’m working hard on my New Year’s Resolutions, and I hope you are too.

You must be open to other ideas and suggestions from other people. Your customer may know something that you don’t. Your customer may even be able to help your business grow. Telling someone they’re wrong and walking away turns off any desire the customer had to buy something or talk with you. Here is the better approach:

 

I am open to your suggestions to improve.

 

By improving ourselves, we become better individuals

If you are trying to get to the next level as an entrepreneur or as a business, I highly recommend doing videos. Videos are very helpful and will take you to the next level of your business or entrepreneurship. I am working on Lego animations right now which I hope will eventually make me a part of the YouTube Partnership Program.

 

Being dependent on a benefactor is a habit that we must eliminate as soon as it poses a threat. If the benefactor we are dependent on does not help us at a time of need or do a simple task, we have to do it ourselves. This may sound easy, but when you are dependent for several years, actually getting up and doing someone else’s job can be unbearable. We must lose our dependence and become independent because we are the ones who control who we become and what we do.

The goal of an advertisement is always to promote a brand or product, but the mistake most advertisements make is that there is no humor involved. The advertisement just says, “Buy my product. It does this, this, and this. You’ll love it.” This method of selling something rarely works because most viewers will realize that the advertiser just wants your money.

Here is an example of what I believe is a humorous advertisement that would get a lot of sales. If the product doesn’t get a lot of sales, there are still a lot of people viewing the video on YouTube which could result in revenue.

There are many reasons why sharing is caring, but you’ll be shocked at how much you’ll get back from sharing. Retweeting on Twitter is a business strategy that can be implemented to your business strategy. Retweeting shows your followers that you like to talk about others and share their tweets instead of just tweeting about yourself. When you share someone’s content, that person gets more visits, and if the shared content is good, your followers will get a new respect for you. Sharing is truly caring.
