Your Boring Presentations - Selling It
| |
| I was watching television on Friday evening and found myself crying at the end of The Ghost Whisperer. Are you kidding me? Me?

DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR CLIENTS REALLY NEED
| |
| By John Doerr
Ray Kinsella: So what do you want?
Terence Mann: I want them to stop looking to me for answers, begging me to speak again, write again, be a leader. I want them to start thinking for themselves. I want my privacy.
Ray Kinsella: No, I mean, what do you WANT?
[Gestures to the concession stand they're in front of]
Terence Mann: Oh. Dog and a beer.

How To Advertise Your Business For Free
| |
| I said over twelve years ago, that the low-cost or free advertising potential of the internet provides a level playing ground that allows most anyone to have an at-home business. However, neither then or now, does low-cost or cost-free translate into a free ride. In order to succeed online you must put in time, money or pardon the expression–-sweat equity. It’s truly not at all like the Kevin Costner movie Field of Dreams where "If you build it they will come." Someone, somewhere, somehow is going to have to promote, promote, promote! |

| Every day thousands of Americans decide that it is time to go into business for themselves.

It’s important to be cautious however and there are five common mistakes that home business owners often make when starting to work at home for the first time. |

Goal Achieving Process Part 2: Dreaming Big Dreams
| |
| The next step in the goal achieving process is dreaming big dreams. This is my favorite part of the process because it unlocks my inner child and opens up my creative faculties. We are all creators of our experiences, so why not make them as big and exciting as possible? Big dreams help you tremendously with goal achievement, especially since big dreams give you power and enthusiasm. When obstacles get in your way and things don’t go according to plan, big dreams make up for it with energy and enthusiasm. Small dreams don’t really give you any kind of power. |

The Power of Recognition, Appreciation, and Celebration
| |
| Arden planted a 50-acre field of wheat that was now golden brown and very full for harvest. It was a sight to touch the heart of any farmer. Uncle Harry came to visit. Arden proudly took him out to look at the field of wheat. Harry looked around, put his hand over his eyes to peer into the distance, and asked "Is that a stone on the hill?" pointing to a boulder too large to move in the middle of the field. He said nothing about the field of wheat. Arden was crushed by his lack of enthusiasm. |
