MDM Tip #72: Stand up for something. Don’t just wish you could change something – go out and do it! Talk to people (even if it’s just your family and friends) about something you are passionate about, start a petition. It only takes a minute to start a spark

MDM Tip #71: Go through all of your books and donate the less read ones to the library. Then try to purchase future books for Kindle or Nook (you can get the app for free – you don’t actually need one of the devices).

MDM Tip #67: Donate your old magazines to an elementary school. The upper grades will be able to read the science mags/Nat Geo and the lower grades can cut out the pictures for activities!
Earlier this week I launched a super exciting (to me at least
) website for my future business – CommunicatewithyourDog.com. I’ve been working really hard on getting it *just* right, but as I’m learning in 30 Days of Courage, part of having courage is accepting that it will never be perfect, so there it is – check it out!

I’m especially proud of my bio, which I worked through with Shenee Howard in her Hot Brand Action course. It was something that I really struggled with, and even though it was difficult to write, I’m happy with how it came out.
Hot Brand Action is a 4-week workshop with Brand Master-ess Shenee Howard and a group of 20 other people who have the same goals as you – to figure out and create your brand. Some of my takeaways from the course:
- Discovering the real reason behind why I am going into the dog world and how I can express that in my business (hint: it’s in my bio)
- Who my target market is and how I can write copy/create products designed with them in mind
- How to use the problems/questions my ideal client(s) have to create blog posts and tweets
- Once I did all the workshop exercises, figuring out my tagline/elevator pitch came naturally and pretty easily
Check out Shenee’s website and if it feels like something you could use, I would love for you to use my link (yes, it’s an affiliate link, no, I don’t do that often).
If you aren’t ready for HBA, but still want some branding advice, you should head over to Hey Shenee!

MDM Tip #65: If every household replaced one 4-pack of regular toilet paper with 100% recycled toilet paper, such as Seventh Generation (where this tip came from), we could save 670,000 trees.

MDM Tip #64: Share the website KidsCanMakeADifference.com with a middle or high schooler in your life. The program focuses on “the root causes of hunger and poverty” and their goal is to show kids that one person really can make a difference.
