Got a moment? Get a brainstorm or at least a compliment

August 7, 2013 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

emergencycomplimentcomWe all have those small, spare moments in our consignment or resale shops when we just need a break from accepting or pricing or killing dust bunnies. We need a break from the day-to-day. So what do we do? Catch up on Facebook, read email, play Angry Birds?

I have a better idea.

When you need a little pat on the back, click over to emergencycompliment.com and get one. I guarantee it’ll unhunch your shoulders after dealing with a difficult member of the public. Maybe even make you laugh. Laughter is always a good thing.

Or maybe you’re not so much in need of a laugh as you are a little inspiration about your business. Then

try this Auntie Kate magic link: Kinda like a fortune cookie, click here to get a random Auntie Kate post. Unlike a fortune cookie, you can keep clicking til you find a message that seems like it’s just for you.

    Here is my fortune from a actual fortune cookie last nite: “Catch on fire with enthusiasm and people will come for mile to watch you burn.”
