brochure ideas

I am brainstorming on some ideas about a business brochure.

I can either use office depot or vista print, or the craig's list for a brochure writer. For some reason, I am feeling a little bit stuck as for as what to include in the brocure. I thought some brainstorming on the ideas of what to put in the brochure might help.

I went to office depot. I found a great design. The design was of a logo of light and hope. I like that concept of bringing light and hope to the life coaching theme for my business. I looked on to vista prints and didn't find a design. The possibility of finding or designig my own design is still possible with vista print. I might use office depot for my business cards. It is easier for me to design my business cards. The brohure has a lot of additional information to include in it. I am not sure what to put in to it.

I would like to use the design from office depot about light and hope. Then an eye catching phrase can be placed on the front. Light and hope can bring a new sense of empowerment. MEZ Life Coaching Services can bring to light a new way of looking at life.

On the inner middle: Parents may come together for a common purpose. Raising a child in this day and age isn't easy. Parents may have questions about how to handle varies situations about their chid as it arises. Children don't come with manuels. Situations about raising a child may be perplexing. A parent may feel as if they are the only one in the universe experiencing the same topics of concern about their child. MEZ Life Coaching Services provides support group coaching to parents who have daily concerns pertaining to their child.

MEZ Life Coaching Services provides support group life coaching to parents who have daily concerns pertaining to their child. The group support services provides a forum for a parent to voice their ideas, opinions, celebrations, enthusium, concerns, brainstorming, and sometimes it just helps to know that there is some one is willing to listen. The feeling of being able to express oneself without being judged, with confidentiality, with support, and knowing that someone really cares about what happens to them.

On the next inner left side of the brochure:

MEZ Life Coaching Servces also provides 1:1 coaching. Individuals who would feel more comfortable talking about life parenting issues on a differant format than speaking around a lot of people. 1:1 Coaching provides a more individualized format of discussing life issues as a parent. The individualized parent will recieve the same support, non-judgemental forum, confidentiality, unconditional acceptance, a forum to discuss thoughts, ideas, concerns, brainstorming on possible ideas to a situation, and to have the fact that someone is listening and cares about you as a person with the 1:1 life coach.

On the back of the brochure, I would like to inclde all of my business contact information.

Until next time,

brochures

I would like to create a brochure for my life coaching business. I have gone over to office depot. I found a cover page entitled light and hope. The cover page that I saw had a light blue hue. Light and hope is an example of protraying my positivity life coachig strategies. The light blue brings about an image of calm and relaxation. I would like to bring a sense of a calm, confident, relaxed positive atmosphere to children and to parents. I would also like to bring a sense of trust, and confidentiality. The front of the brochure will have the light and hope in a blue hue, In the middle or at the bottom, I would like to include MEZ Life coaching Services LLC. I am not sure about putting my name next and then my personal information.
On inside of the brochure I will like to include information about the programs that will be available. Do I want to mention catching a child being good, support groups for children/adults/parents. The educational needs could be addresed. I could mention about the disabities of the children/ support for parents. i will continue at a later time.

grant information

I learned tonight about a web site towards aquiring a grant. The web site is CFDA. The first step involves getting on to the web site, the second step is to click on to CFDA Edition 2000 print edition, the third step is to get on to the catalogue, pages 6-7 lists types of assistance, 11-17 lists the program descriptions, the programs despriptions are on pages 188-1878, place a key word on to the left hand side of the page where it asks for search, binoculars on the left hand side of the page on the pdf form put in keky words, scroll down until you get to page number 188-1878. I tried the key word health care and it wasn't want I wanted. I used the key word support groups. The key word support group is a good word to use. I found page 769 as a good page, I also found page 1491 under the keky words support groups, under disability and health #93.184. I am going to begin to think about more kekkyk words that I can use. Next Wednesday night, we are are going to talk about registering for gov. grants.gov., and to begin the process of applying for a grant. Receiving grant money for a worthy cause of helping others is a great accomplishment. I can do it.
