I don’t mean to be negative – it has been overall a wonderful experience – however, my store has been open for 8 years and I’m ready to move on! If you want to succeed in this business, it’s my opinion that you need to sell other things besides just books (which have a very low markup) – things like related giftware in your niche.

Good Luck!

Start out each morning with “What do I need to accomplish today”? Write it out – then do it!

I already lost it once and now I need to lose it again!!! Aargh. The things that worked for me in the past is:

1. No junk food kept in the house.
2. Keep lots of raw fruits and veggies in the house.
3. Drink lots of green tea (don’t brew it very long at all or it will get very very bitter – one tea bag should make 3 cups. Try for 6 cups/day. You can even drink it if it gets cold. This will rev up your metabolism, too. I add a tiny bit of Splenda and sometimes some fresh squeezed lemon juice.
4. Get some small low cal protein bars to keep as a snack – I like Pria bars. Plan on eating one per day as a treat (this is a trick I learned from LA Weight Loss).
5. Never go more than 4 hours without eating something healthy. Take your food with you.

And of course, tons of exercise with a goal in mind, last time for me it was rock climbing but I don’t have that boyfriend anymore so I’m thinking this time I’d like to learn to be a real runner. Seems impossible but you know what Eleanor Roosevelt said, “Do the thing you think you cannot do”.

Good Luck to all of you! Wish me luck, too!
