Recently, I heard about a set of neighbors that are bartering services to help each other out. A neighbor is plowing the driveway for one neighbor and that neighbor is mowing the grass on the weekends while the other neighbor is away. Both of these neighbors could do something in exchange for something they needed done. It’s not an immediate barter because of the seasons but it’s helpful none the less.
One neighbor works during the week and goes to their cottage in Put in Bay for the weekends. So, during the summer months he needs someone to cut his grass on the weekends. His next door neighbor was in need of someone to plow his driveway in the winter since his kids have moved out of the house. So they struck a deal to barter and help each other out. Simple really. They each needed something and had something to offer.
Yet another example of how easy barter can make your life both at home and at work. At work, utilizing barter exchange or trade exchange will help put you in touch with others who have services to barter. What’s holding you back? Start bartering today. It will simplify your life.
