Running your own business requires learning a great deal of things on a wide range of topics over a very short time—you’ll be hard pressed to find anyone else who can formulate marketing plans while checking over the accounts and using social media to stay in touch with customers.

There are some elements of business which can be hugely difficult to understand. And in order to ensure you get them right, it can be beneficial to use a professional.

A broker is one of these professions. Brokers are usually involved in the buying and selling of businesses, an area which requires a great deal of expertise and knowledge.

Narration Flip Cards

Supplies:

colored index cards (if you can find the ones with holes already punched in that would be great)

hole puncher, if you did not find the index cards with holes already punched in.

black sharpie

rings, yarn, or even twist ties

imagination!

Directions:

1. Take out five cards for each of the five different colors.

2. Using your hole puncher, punch two holes near either corner at the short side or the long sides depending on your preference, on each card. 3. Organize your five different colors into separate groups to represent a week out of the month. For instance, pink is for the first week, green for the second…you get the idea. 4. Using your sharpie, mark all of one color “narration set A” and then on each individual write the days of the week. Continue this for all four weeks so you will end with five cards of the same color marked: “Narration Set A”, “Narration Set B”, “Narration Set C”, and “Narration Set D”.

In walks the quietest pencil sharpener on the planet! Struggling with pencil sharpeners every year, I took particular notice to an article written about this pencil sharpener which claimed to be easy to use, efficient, and quiet. The article was written by a homeschool blogger and she bragged about this sharpener. Maybe I was not the only one who struggled with finding the perfect pencil sharpener? I am probably, however, the only one who gets excited about finding a new pencil sharpener. So, did it solve my pencil issues? YES!

I hesitate to reveal my pencil deficiency to the world but this pencil sharpener has been my favorite school supply. Even my 6 year old can use it with no problems. You stick the pencil in, you secure it, and get to sharpening. It’s quiet and since the pencil is secured in the slot without you forcing it in, anyone c an easily and quickly sharpen a pencil. It sharpens fast and to a perfect point every time.
