Sorry about the lack of posts lately. I’ve just returned from a two week break/holiday/vacation. And the week before was mad trying to clear up everything before I went away. I’ll hopefully get back into the swing of things again over the next few days – once I’ve gone through about a 1000 emails I’ve received in my absence!
How often have you been perplexed with the problem of what to get someone as a gift? After all, how many ties or bottles of aftershave can you give a man before it’s too much? Or your mum or dad, who always says: “Oh, I’ll love anything you give me!”
Beyond friends and family, what about a little something different to give out at the office? Aren’t you tired of just giving the “Employee of the Month” a boring certificate?
Well, here at Cartoon Motivators, I specialize in creative and unique caricatures for personalized gifts or corporate awards. If you’re looking for a great, unique way to award someone in your company, or just a cool way to say how much you appreciate someone, then I can provide you with completely original and unique caricatures of your favorite faculty member, loved one or friend.
All you have to do is send me a photo of the person and some helpful tips on their hobbies and personalities. I will sketch an initial cartoon for your approval. People always love the little personal touches. A caricature that shows your friend/loved one skiing down the Alps or punting up the Thames makes it so much more fun than just a simple picture. And, you don’t have to worry about the picture being inappropriate for “young eyes”; I do cartoons that are acceptable for anyone to see.
You can decline the design or make suggestions about how you want me to change your cartoons. Once I get something that you are happy with, and you give approval of the final copy, I will then send you a black and white or full color copy of your cartoon.
When it comes to the workplace, personalized caricatures are great motivators and visual affirmations of one’s appreciation for all their hard work and efforts. It will be such a delight to your employee for them to see themselves working away in a comical drawing. A little, light humour always helps people to wile away their time: it makes work less stressful.
Here’s an article by Bob Scheinfeld, Life Change Expert. On how to organize your self help material. You
might have a stack of stuff like myself that needs sorting out!
Most self-help writers, including the most popular ones, will freely admit that even their best ideas only work for about five percent of their readers. Why? Because they are one-size-fits-all remedies that either don’t fit your situation or aren’t easily put into action.
As a 23 year veteran of the personal development field, I’ve seen many different self-help programs come and go. Most of them claim you have unlimited power and can create anything you consciously want — all you have to do is use the expert;’s techniques. That’s a nice theory, but it probably doesn’t match your day-to-day experience, does it?
“Nobody will buy this product.”
“When everything is perfect, launch the product.”
“Your i’s and t’s aren’t dotted, don’t move.”
“You’re not ready to win, unless your product is an A+”
My friend, my fellow entrepreneur, the forces of ‘Get It Right’
will sink your entrepreneurial hopes.
You’ll sink faster than the Titanic.
The enemy of entrepreneurs that have never built million dollar+
businesses before is the ‘Get It Right’ crowd.
I don’t care if it’s your spouse.
Your family
Your friends.
It doesn’t matter.
If you wait until everything is ‘just right’ before you take
action, you’ll live in business quicksand and be in this same
place 5 years from now.
You will.
You don’t have to get it right.
Stop trying to be perfect.
It’s time to wage war on perfectionism. Join me in waging war on
a mindset that doesn’t exist and that will never exist.
Snap out of it. Snap out of the employee brainwashing.
Yes, your boss wants perfection.
Amigo, do not bring that mindset to the business you’re building
on the side.
Do not.
The ‘Get It Right’ philosophy is sinking the greatness that
lives inside of you.
When commissioning cartoons… Pick TWO of the three options!
Good+Fast = Expensive Choose this and I’ll postpone every other project on my drawing board, my round of golf or give up my footy match ticket and work day and night to get your job done. It WILL NOT BE CHEAP though!
Good+Cheap = Slow Choose good and cheap and I’ll still do a great job at a discounted price. But you’ll have to be patient while I fit you in after my higher paying clients, updating my web site, going down the gym, my footy matches, rounds of golf and liquid lunches!
Fast+Cheap = Inferior Choose this option at your peril. It will still be delivered on time but it will be inferior, as many corners as possible will be cut. You know the saying ‘You get what you pay for!’ The least favorable option in my opinion!
