Lou replied to Lou's discussion Brand"Hi Marlee,
Thanks so much for your reply. I think that's a good idea. I am exploring blog ideas now. I have decided not to do tea reviews because I think that's sort of pretentious overdone. But what I'd like…"
Marlee Ward replied to Lou's discussion Brand"Hi Lou,
What you are going to want to look for is what is called Private Label Rights. There are A LOT of manufacturers out there that offer such a thing, but you'll have to pay the price for it.
In lieu of that, Lou, (sorry..I…"

Dawn Schultz replied to Lou's discussion Brand"Although I have no experience in this, it seems that every producer of a brand name food boxes the exact same thing into a generic box for someone else. So you must be able to do the same for tea. I'd probably Google wholesale tea…"

Justin White replied to Lou's discussion Business idea#2 happy hour"Cool idea!
Have you tried just copying and pasting in the code needed to put a calendar on your website on squarespace? I'm not sure that will help, and you could just add the code into the website. "

Paula Frate replied to Lou's discussion business ideas"Lou,
As an avid tea drinker, there are a couple sites I'd recommend:
www.artoftea.com and www.the-art-of-tea.com.
I hope you find confirmation and inspiration there.

I remember times when I did some graphic design for somebody freelance and I would spend hours in the summer working on this job--not caring about all the time I missed with my friends. Time really flew.

Nice to meet you, I'm Hoku. Great to hear that you are becoming debt free. I am striving for the same goal also. Furthermore, I see that you have done some
graphic design work. What kinds of designs do you draw? I am looking to start my Hawaiian lifestyle clothing company and would need a graphic designer to design my apparel.
Thank you for your time and have a great day.
Sincerely,
Hoku

Kent Julian said… - Hi Lou,
I try to take time each week to welcome new members to 48Days.Net. So, let me say "welcome" to you! I know you will find this to be a great site filled with people who are experiencing true success in both life and work.
One thing I noticed on your profile is you are tenacious. That is a great core competency.
Also, I'd like to point out that one of the best places to connect with other liked-minded people here is in the GROUPS section. There are groups for just about every interest you can think of, and if you can't find a group that interests you, you can start one. Groups are my favorite part of 48Days.Net!
Finally, if you happen to be a speaker or author (or want to become either), check out these two groups. They are two of the most popular groups on the site because of all the great conversation taking place:
* Speak It Forward -- REAL Success and Profit for Speakers!
* Write It Forward -- REAL Success and Profit for Writers!
Again, enjoy 48Days.Net. It's a great place to be!
Live it forward,
Kent Julian

Roger Benge said… Hi Lou, welcome to the community. Glad you're here. I too am pursuing a debt-free lifestyle. I created a group called Your Fit Finances for people to discuss all aspects of personal finance including becoming debt free. It's a new group and membership is low right now but i'm sure it will begin to grow soon and we can help a lot of people. Come on over, we'd love to have someone like yourself who has almost reached the goal of being debt free. I'm sure your experiences during your journey would be helpfull to so many people.
