You may be thinking, “You’re crazy, I can’t do that!” but all of those things on your list will be there when you get back. But when you get back you’ll also have something else – clarity – which will help you tackle everything with a much clearer head.
I recently took some down time from my business, and it was the best thing I could have done. I practiced extreme self-care and it was the first step of several I took that eventually tripled my income. Here are a few of things I recommend to start taking care of yourself, which will in turn take care of your business.
1. Look at your calendar, pick a day and write in huge black letters O-F-F! This is not going to happen unless you mark it on your calendar and make it part of your schedule. Then when the day comes, do something for yourself to create some space. I got a massage, went shopping and bought myself some new clothes. I did not work.

Guerrilla marketing is a term used to describe unconventional marketing tactics, particularly those with low cost or no cost, which rely on time, energy and imagination rather than a big marketing budget, so they are ideal for the cash-strapped small business in the present economic climate.
The idea is to target customers in unexpected places, in unexpected ways, to get maximum results from minimum resources and create a unique, engaging and memorable brand experience.
Here are just 10 innovative marketing ideas to get you started:
1. Run a competition to win advertising space on your site. This is a no-cost prize you can use to market your website: free for you but valuable for others.
2. Leave your business card in unexpected places: for instance pop one inside every book in an appropriate section of the local library.

Trade shows are an essential part in the success of a business. People from all over the world gather in one place and search for the best deals and the best companies to spend their money on. Trade shows provide a chance for businesses to take the extra mile in showing the consumers why their business is better than the rest. Give-aways at trade shows are a must and consumers take this opportunity to take as many free items as they can. Give away items should be imprinted with your business name and information so that the consumer can contact you in the near future. Here are the 5 top give-aways for trade shows:
1) Pens- Pens are an obvious give away because people love having them. You can never have too many pens. They’re cheap, reliable, and can be imprinted with your crucial information.

No matter what type of small business you run, there are 4 signs that you can benefit from. In my personal opinion, having the right business signs is very important to the success or failure of any business. So here we go. Here are my top 4 business signs that every small business needs.
Open sign – I think this is pretty obvious but you would be surprised how many small businesses don’t have one. If you want your potential customers to know you are open, you have to tell them.
Sidewalk sign – This sign is great for advertising any deals or specials you may be having. Placing this sign in front of your business will help you bring awareness to your business. The more people that know about your business, the better off you will be.
