“A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the parent of all other virtues.” — Marcus Tullius Cicero
When was the last time you thanked one of your customers? I was just reading a great article on Entrepreneur.com about the importance and power of saying “thank you” in business. Here is a brief excerpt:
“Study after study reveals that when you say “Thank you” to your customers, they both spend more money and tell their friends about the exceptional service and products you deliver, increasing your profits. Volumes chronicle how employee productivity zooms when appreciation is expressed, raising your margins. Vendors go the extra mile to extend credit and deliver “just in time” when they hear gratitude regularly, not just in November, and keep your cash flowing” (Source).
Later in the article, the author illustrates a few tips you can use to get better at saying [Read more…]

Would you like to know how to build an information empire faster, easier and with less over all human effort?
Then repurposing is the key to making one idea many and building your information empire far faster than with generating one information product at a time.
Take a bedtime story for example. Most parents have read their kids bedtime stories (and oftentimes it′s the same one over and over). The information empire equivalent of a bedtime story is an audio CD.
It′s you reading your book. And when you read your book, you end up giving a bedtime story that has the same affect. Everyone enjoys being read to.
On any long trip, I drive with some kind of powerful information coming out of the car speakers. While driving I can’t read a book, but I sure can listen to and enjoy one on CD.
If not a CD, then repurpose into MP3 download. No matter what the format, all you need to do is read your book.
Articles are another great way to repurpose [Read more…]

“The greatest barrier to success is the fear of failure.” – Sven Goran Eriksson
There are two major fears that commonly get in the way of most entrepreneurs: the first fear is the fear of failure. When individuals struggle with this fear, they do everything we can to avoid getting started. The second fear is the fear of success. Although understanding both fears is important, I’d like to focus on the second fear mentioned. I’m going to guess that you’ve feared success at some level. It happens to everyone. You become afraid that something is going to work, and some way along the way you stop doing it, you sabotage and start blaming the things that didn’t work . I have a very specific system that I followed in order to overcome this common challenge, and I want you to try using it as well.
Here are the two ways to overcome the fear of [Read more…]
