Estee Lauder Beautiful
| |
| It may be one of the greatest ironies of the beauty industry that one of its key shapers in the 20th century actually wished there had been no need for the industry or a demand for the products she was creating to exist. Today, Estee Lauder Companies are responsible for more than half of the sales of beauty related products throughout the U.S. However, according to its founder Estee Lauder, beautiful women were those who understood that beauty wasn’t in the skin creams they applied or the scents they wore, but rather that it was in their attitude; the world could tell when women felt beautiful on the inside. |

Vocabulary
| |
| Learn one new word each day. In less than five minutes per day you can get amazing results. The average American learns only twenty-five new words each year and actually has a speaking vocabulary of five hundred words. One new word per day will mean that in one year you will have a distinct advantage over most people with whom you are dealing; within five years you will have a colossal advantage, not because you know the words but because those words give you a breadth and depth of understanding that will enrich your life in every way. Plus there is more good news: Every word has several buddies; when you learn one new word you’ve just expanded your vocabulary by several more.

Levelling the intagible playing field of professional services procurement (Beyond Referrals Profile)
| |
| “I stated that the worst thing a purchasing person can do when using an RFP to buy professional services is to exclude a project budget. Immediately, a rebuttal was offered, “But if I give them the budget,” stated the attendee, “they are all just going to come in at that budget.” He was right. But he failed to recognize that as a distinct advantage for both the vendor and the purchaser. When everyone’s price is the same, the buyer can compare expertise and value across a consistent price spectrum and purchase the services of the best expert they can afford.”
