WHERE TO FIND ITEMS TO SELL

- Your own stuff, go through cupboards, drawers, storage boxes, nothing is excluded from garage sale material. Once my bestselling item was unused photo frames, who would have thought.
- Ask family, friends & neighbours to donate anything they don't need.
- Visit other garage sales in your area, pick out the bargains to resell at a profit.
- Visit charity or used clothing shops, again pick out the bargains.
- Local outdoor or flea markets.
- Buy lots on eBay.
- Make your own, eg, bags of cookies, home-made cakes, sweets, popcorn.
- Crafts that you (or friends) can make during the weeks prior to your sale. A friend makes cement frogs in a plastic mould, hand paints them in football team colours, they sell at Sunday markets and are a winner.
- Plants you've grown in plastic pots from seed or cuttings. Vegetable and herb seedlings in individual pots are very cheap to grow from seed. Herbs are especially popular.

GOOD PROMOTION IS ALL IMPORTANT

- Run classified ads in your local paper(s).
- Prepare banners for outside your home.
- Signs directing visitors from a main street or crossroads nearby.
- Posters for your local community or supermarket notice board.
- Word of mouth, ask your friends and neighbours to spread the word.
- Letterbox drop with a simple leaflet in your immediate vicinity.
- Advertise an Early Bird pre-sale one hour before official opening time. Offer an incentive, eg, 10% discount, free coffee, free something else.

ARRANGING YOUR GARAGE OR BACK YARD

- Create a positive buying attitude.
- Neatness is important.
- Make sure the area is clean and free from any distractions from your sale.
- Remove cobwebs, dust, unsightly junk.
- Hang colourful streamers or balloons.
- Put the real bargains out front.
- Arrange tables or displays to invite customers to work towards the back displays.
- Consider offering tea, coffee and home-made cookies at the rear, free balloons for the kids.

HOW TO PRICE YOUR ITEMS

- As a rough guide prices should be around one-quarter of original new price.
- Newer items, higher price.
- Collectables or treasures, higher price.
- New or as new, higher price. (Say so on your price ticket.)
- Be prepared to bargain, set your lowest bargaining price in advance.

FINAL TIPS

- Start planning 3 weeks ahead.
- Be in attendance at all times, arrange for a relief guard when you need to leave.
- Keep your house locked at all times.
- Have plenty of change.
- Be prepared for Early Birds looking for the pick of the sale.
- Consider marking down your stock near the end of the day.
- Be friendly, co-operative, helpful.
- Keep records of every sale.
- If you have the space away from the road make a sand pit, throw in some buckets and spades, keep the kids occupied while parents browse longer and without distraction.
- Check with your accountant about the tax rules in your country.

As I learned for myself, in the most dramatic way (bankruptcy), making a few tweeks to your life can also tweek your luck, self confidence, career, success, prosperity, happiness, finding a soulmate, the dreaded Mid-Life Crisis, also in a dramatic way! This is the broader picture where finding the real purpose of your life - just any old purpose won't do - is the very foundation of the mix of life we need to get right if we are to succeed at anything!

"There is nothing wrong with change," said Sir Winston Churchill, the British wartime Prime Minister, "if it is in the right direction."

And that's the crucial question, isn't it. Without a crystal ball how can we ever be reasonably sure which direction is the best one for us to choose? There's a good answer!

You already know what you're meant to do with your life.

It's the single secret to happiness, success, luck, career, self confidence, self esteem, prosperity, good health, even to finding a soul mate. It's the big message I got from having my life crash and burn, ending up homeless, unemployed, penniless and friendless.

What I wish I knew then - what absolutely everyone on the planet should know - is that we all have a unique life purpose, a destiny, a hidden talent if you like, and it is within us waiting to be found (unless we're one of the few lucky ones who've found it already).

We tend to think of destiny as a script for our lives imposed upon us by some external force, God perhaps, over which we have no control.

I have a different view. "Destiny" is a gift we chose for ourselves before we were born - that's right - by our own soul. It's our whole purpose in life - or should be - and failure to find it leads to trouble and, to say the least, bad luck.

"Finding" our life purpose, or destiny, is really a misleading concept because it's not something we have to go out and "get," but rather it's something we need to go within and claim.

You've already got it, because you chose it - even if you haven't consciously realized it. Then you need a plan to bring it into reality - because we create our own reality with our thoughts, an idea recently made popular in The Secret which had everyone talking a few years ago.

Two of the key contributors to 'The Secret' went further. Jerry and Esther Hicks published a series of eye-opening channeled books based on a spiritual take on The Law of Attraction. And Bob Proctor went one better (11 better, actually!) and released his bestselling '11 Forgotten Laws'.

Now there's the new Cosmic Ordering craze: is it really possible to place an order with the Universe for whatever you want? I've found this truly life-changing stuff - literally!

What does science have to say on the matter?

In a 24,000 best seller published by Bob Proctor's organisation, Success Engeering, followed by Luck Engineering, - read about both here! - presented the cutting edge science and quantum physics behind how to literally engineer luck and good fortune into your life or business.

But how do we know what our true life purpose or destiny is when we see it?

In a survey conducted among creative people of all kinds, from science to art, to learn the cause of 'genius' (Uncommon Genius by Denise Shekerjian), most claimed that they followed their intuition, trusted their feelings, or as one respondent replied, "I just trust my beeps."

When I get an irritating feeling up my spine I now know it's not the right thing to do. For too long I ignored that irritating feeling, that unease. But a feeling of exhilaration means, go for it! Project your thoughts into the future and see how you feel.

"Your broader Non-Physical part of you communicates with you," wrote Jerry and Esther Hicks in 'The Law of Attraction', "and has done so from the day you emerged into this physical body. That communication comes in many varieties - but all of you are receiving the basic communication that comes forth, in the form of your emotion. Every emotion that you feel is, without exception, communication from your Inner Being letting you know, in the moment, the appropriateness of whatever you are thinking, speaking, or acting."

To pull all this together in a meaningful whole I recommend this comprehensive up-to-date resource as your definitive guide to undersanding, and implementing, what should really be called the Law of Thought, in your own life.

Your life purpose will ALWAYS utilize your greatest passions, talents and interests.

"Your brain is similar to an iceberg," says psychologist Valerie Dawson. "The 90% of the iceberg deep below the surface is where all the information is that you have been searching for - all the wisdom and the 'knowing' about what you were put on this Earth to do is right there! Inside this part deep within are all the keys to your success, happiness, and abundant life!"

Your life's purpose is already within you!

The Greek philosopher Plato knew this when he wrote in his best-known work the Republic. "Your destiny shall not be alloted to you, but you shall choose it for yourselves." He called it your career on Earth while author Caroline Myss (a guest on Oprah) calls it your mission. Napoleon Hill, in his famous bestseller Think & Grow Rich called the secret to all of life's riches our Definite Major Purpose. Of this he wrote:

"The secret to which I refer ... cannot be purchased for money, for the reason that it comes in two parts. One part is already in possession of those who are ready for it."

"Follow your bliss," said scholar, author and mythology expert Joseph Campbell, "and doors will open where you never knew they existed."

Or, trust your beeps!

I didn't. I had to lose everything before the doors started flying open for me. I don't want this to happen to you (if it does I've just told you what to do about it)!
