Done your STRETCHING Today?

Since it’s Leap Day and all…and you get an extra day to do something you really WANT to do…I hope you do some STRETCHING today.

Anyone who’s ever exercised understands about stretching. It’s that feels-so-good-it-hurts segment of your routine, where you can FEEL your legs getting longer and sleeker, your hip joints rotating in a smooth (and sexy!) way, your arms and shoulders and neck getting feline in their grace and fluidity. When you stretch, your range of motion grows. You can actually reach things you couldn’t before. And with more ease and comfort, as well!

So today, I encourage you to S-T-R-E-T-C-H your business muscles a little, too, to extend your reach. What have you been meaning to do, but never get around to? Investigate ad rates in the media? Plan that dollar ot 2 a week it costs to list your shop at HowToConsign.com?Learn to write a job description so you and your applicants will know what the job’s about? Find some great wholesale merchandise to improve the odds of every shopper finding something wonderful to buy? Explore ALL the business-enhancing links on ALL the pages of Too Good to be Threw, The Premiere web site for Professional Resalers? Poke into what good a blog might do your business? Register to attend NARTS Conference?

You have an extra day today. Make the LEAP into something that will extend your reach for the NEXT four-year period of your life!
