Create Your Own Holiday

Did you know tonight is National Sneak Some Zucchini Onto Your Neighbor's Porch Night?
And my birthday, August 4th, is "Work like a Dog Day?"

You can create your own holiday. Actaully, March 26 is create your own holiday day, but you can do it any day. So, pick a day, holiday, and register with Chases Calendar of Events.

Why? Shameless promotion. You can then issue press releases, hold press conferences, etc. and drum up awareness and maybe business for yourself.

And journalists read Chases looking for story ideas. If you started the holiday, you'll be listed as the reference and they may call you.

Hmmm, August 15, the ides of August, "International Blogging for Business" day? Think it might sell a few books?

Interesting to find out we share a birthday. Though I'm pretty sure I had it first. Have you noticed that the celebration for our birthday starts a month to the day in advance with fireworks and parades all over the country? :-)

I've had it for 45 years -- so far. So, the fireworks are in honor of us :)

LOL!

Whatever day it is, I hope you're having a good one!

Risks include Identity Theft, Credit Card fraud, and more.
