AFTERTHOUGHTS:
I decided to get back into my personal development audios again. I'm at the point where I've listened to a ridiculous amount of REI sessions and more than once. I feel confident enough to just continue taking more action steps.

In addition, Earl Nightingale and Brian Tracy (BT will link tomorrow) are PhENoMeNaL speakers. Talk about getting your mind right during the day!



Hello time consuming activities! I wish technology/software was as simple to find as it is to think up! Would have been nice to have had software already plot neighborhood territories so I could just put in the bandit signs. In addition, it would be great to have an app figure out the best route to drive to each location. /sigh

It took awhile to match what roads were the boundaries lines of the neighborhoods I wanted to market in... Google Maps Engine allows me to draw and label shapes at least!

As you can see I've plotted a lot of signs, strategically so you one sign going to Indy and one sign from Indy. 

The plan is to go out with a buddy of mine on Saturday afternoon to put these signs up. Not sure if it's ok to post them up during the day or not? (Time for a Forum Post!)



In case anybody was wondering why you want to make your templates simple...... Please see the above.

It took slightly over two hours to cut all of these out.

I've got two more sign designs, but honestly I really want to not use them this first round because of how long it takes to cut the letters out.

Do you think I should use three different versions of signs in my first marketing campaign?
