Truck driver training just got a little more sophisticated. The CDL training program at San Juan College in New Mexico recently acquired a brand new $200,000 diesel truck simulator designed to replicate real life driving conditions. The simulator can duplicate hundreds of different driving scenarios including icy roads, blown out tires, and hitting a curb. The driver's seat even shakes and the steering wheel will jerk to further dramatize such situations. The settings on the simulator can also be changed and increased, to simulate particularly bad situations
The most important thing to remember about creating a short-term business idea for the holidays is early planning. Normally, July is the time-frame that individuals who have holiday businesses start preparing. This will give plenty of time for getting products shipped and implementing your marketing strategy. However, there are several money making ideas that can be planned for in the September time-frame, but any later and you’ll have to wait to start a holiday business next year!
Below, please find 4 holiday business Ideas that might work for you!
1. Letters From Santa
Children and adults alike love getting a surprise letter from that favorite man with the white beard! This is a favorite for many moms to purchase for their little ones during the season. Create 4-5 template letter themes that can be customized based on the child’s likes, dislikes and Christmas wish list. Great holiday paper stock can be purchased at your local office supply store.
Target Customers: Parents with children between the ages of 3-10
Marketing Ideas: Choose a special charity that services women and/or children and commit to giving $1 for every order to that charity. This encourages parents to also support the cause. Set up booths at holiday craft fairs, malls and other holiday events.
Potential Profit: Most letters are prices between $5-$7 and include an activity or small token gift for the child such as holiday coloring pages. It also helps to donate a $1 to a worthy charity or cause. Supplies including holiday paper, postage and envelope, holiday and coloring sheets should run you approximately $75 per 100 letters.

Changing culture or “the way we do things around here” need not be as difficult as it first seems. We often make it more difficult for ourselves because the first and most important change often needs to come from us as leaders.We can make it doubly difficult if we build a project around a focus of changing culture.
