This is not really a tip. This week, I am here to ask for some help.
Several years ago, I read a book called Late Bloomers: The Power of Patience in a World Obsessed with Early Achievement. I recommend it. In the book, the author mentions the average age of a new business owner is fifty years old. To be honest, we hardly ever hear that statistic. We should. If you are older, and feel like you have missed your chance… you probably haven’t.
I am fifty-one years old, and I have done it. I have gone and started a new business. It’s actually a franchise. My nephew and I are opening a Bricks and MiniFigs store in Birmingham, Alabama. If you do not know what that is, Bricks and MiniFigs stores specialize in used Lego sets.
Right now, we are just trying to get the word out. And, today, I am asking for some help. If you are a Facebook user, would you go give our Facebook page a like? Here is the link: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61560222463454. Or, you can “like” us on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/bricksandminifigsbirmingham/.
The store should be open sometime at the end of September. Fingers crossed. So, if you live in Birmingham, Alabama, come by. Or, if you are driving down Interstate 65 on your way to the beach, stop by. We are opening about two miles off the interstate.

Almost every Saturday, I send out a Tip of the Week. The tip of the week is usually something I have picked up along the way that may make your life a little easier.
If you would like to hear from me (almost) every Saturday, just go to the home page of my site and plug in your name and email. You will also get a free digital copy of my book on learning Latin (and almost anything else). Just go here: https://dwanethomas.com/ and enter your name and email.
If you want to buy the digital book instead (because you just feel like buying me a cup of coffee) go here: https://dwanethomas.gumroad.com/l/fzixlh
If you are interested in learning Latin, you can go through the classes on my site 24/7. I recommend the book Lingua Latina by Hans Ørberg. If you tackle the book and find yourself bogged down, you may find the classes on my site helpful. To join, just click here: https://dwanethomas.com/join/
If you want a more professionally filmed Latin learning experience, check out the best-selling DVD series: Visual Latin.
Or, if you want to skip Latin, and just jump right into learning English words from Latin and Greek roots, you may enjoy the series Word Up! Warning. Word Up! is a bit wacky. You will learn a lot… but, you may find yourself rolling your eyes, too.
I teach other languages on my site, too. The current schedule is here: https://dwanethomas.com/schedule/
By the way, some of the links in this post are affiliate links. Not trying to pull a fast one on you. I only promote what I believe in. Not only that, but commissions from affiliate links allow me to continue offering training and books at low prices and sometimes free.
