After you've met someone new, whether it be a client
or future friend, you can move past the shallow small
talk and into a more meaningful dialogue. Once the
pleasantries are exchanged, time is spent talking and
more importantly, listening to the other person. By
listening you find out about their needs and desires.
You find out about their family and their friends.
Visits become more rewarding as the relationship
grows. The more you allow someone to talk about
themselves, the more you may learn from them. How
much business have you received simply because you
listened to someone's complaint about service or spoke
about needs which weren't being met. How many times
did you know you had the answer for them and only
had to stay around long enough to help them realize it.
In business and in life, we have to take chances. We
have to be willing to give in order to receive. We must
continue to go about helping others and being of
service to them. It is certain that we will discover
great abundance in return.
Go about the business of living. Do your errands. Go to
school and church meetings. Meet new people and
spread happiness. Relationships are important. Few
people can exist without friends, family and a close
support system. Your contacts and your network can
never be too large!

A Fantastic Discovery |
 |
My computer mouse cord was too short. How many
nights did my arm ache as I sat at my computer
terminal with my right arm up one level using the mouse
because the cord wasn't quite long enough to reach
the keyboard table height. My neck was aching, my
shoulder was aching and something had to give.
Perhaps I don't visit the computer stores enough.
After all, my computer is working fine (now) and it's still
the same system I set up one year ago. How was I to
know there was a miracle out there? Yes, a miracle...
Tonight I'm using my new Microsoft wireless mouse. No
more arm ache. No more wires getting caught on the
monitor stand. No more mouse pad and no more
sticking! What a great concept - wireless.
If you need a new mouse and haven't checked out the
new ones yet, please do yourself a favor. I feel like
that puppet on the laptop commercial. NO MORE
STRINGS pulling on me.

Quick Quotations |

The price of greatness is responsibility.
--Sir Winston Churchill
There are three kinds of death in this world. There's
heart death, there's brain death, and there's being off
the network.
--Guy Almes
You don't develop courage by being happy in your
relationships everyday. You develop it by surviving
difficult times and challenging adversity.
-- Barbara De Angelis

How Thoughts Change Your Life |
|
|
Did you know that the one dominant characteristic that
truly successful people have in common is a Positive
Attitude?
Did you also know that according to a recent research
study at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. people
with a positive attitude live 19 % longer?
Positive messages affect your thoughts, and your
thoughts drive your behavior - and ultimately your life.
It is almost certain a positive attitude improves your
ability to fight some diseases. Have you noticed how
anyone with a good sense of humor is able to laugh and
make it through any difficulty in life?
Try it for a week and see what happens. A friend of
mine always said: " You can choose to be happy or you
can choose to be sad. And it's always smarter, better
and more fun to be... HAPPY!"

Young Daughters & Nieces |
|
If you have daughters 7-12 years old or any nieces of
the same age, you must run out and buy a book called
TIME WILL TELL.
Many years ago I met Suzanne Bush and Deb Takes.
They are tremendously successful women in both
their careers and their personal lives. As we all seem
to change and evolve, they have co-authored a book
about time travel and about the trials and tribulations
of the adolescent years .
Suzanne spoke at a recent Chamber luncheon.
She and Deb were kind enough to autograph the
book and write a personal message inside for my own
12 year old daughter. She was absolutely thrilled when
it arrived. I wish both Suzanne and Deb the best of
success with their labor of love.
The book addresses some common concerns for our
young women. It deals with bullies, low self-esteem
and eating disorders, among others. Check out Deb
and Suzanne's website below. You can order the book
there or it's also available on www.Amazon.com.
