Tip of the Day

Entering Serial Numbers

If you have just purchased or downloaded some sort of software program that requires a serial number, this tip is just for you.

When you get to the point where you have to enter the serial number in for the program, make sure you're using the number keys that are located above the letter keys.

Don't use the number keypad off to the right of your keyboard, because they are sometimes interpreted as different characters and it will not be accepted, although it may look right to you. To prevent going through problems more than once, just use the top number keys, so it will work right the first time!

Something to Think About by Jan Tincher

What is Self-Talk?

Self-talk is what you say to yourself. The silent conversations you have with yourself every waking second of your life.

Self-talk comes out in the conversations you have with others.

If you don't like what you say to others, watch what you say to yourself.

What kind of self-talk do YOU have?

An article that will help is What Are You Teaching People?
You will find it here:  http://www.tameyourbrain.com/whatteachpeople.htm

Food for Thought

Make Customers Stop Doubting You

I can always tell when customers are watching their bank accounts more closely.  They start to doubt me and need additional assurance that their money is being well spent.

Here are several ways you can boost customer confidence and get the sale.

Many people are uneasy about buying over the Internet or via email.  Give them your phone number, a convenient time to call, and plan to spend a few minutes getting to know them.  That human bond often sets the customer at ease and gets their order.

Offer a no-risk, money-back guarantee.  For those of us selling through mail order, the commercial code requires a 30 day refund period.  Use that to your benefit, prominently stating your no- risk policy.  Few people will take undue advantage.

Be honest.  No product or service can be 100 percent effective. Tell customers your offer doesn't work for everyone, but you have hundreds of customers (or have talked with many) who have gotten excellent results.

Prospects will be set at ease by your honesty and straight shooting approach.

Trivia

Major-league baseball clubs didn't start putting numbers on uniforms until the 1930s. As a result, Ty Cobb, who broke many batting and base-stealing records while playing with the Detroit Tigers (1905-1926), didn't have his uniform number retired.
This was, simply, because Cobb never was issued a number.

New Passport Photo
-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Unfortunately, getting a new passport required a new photo. As I handed my ten-year-old passport and the new picture to the clerk, I sighed. "I like the original better," I told her.

"Trust me," she said. "Ten years from now, you'll like this one."

There was a student who wanted to be admitted to the University.

He was smart enough to get through the written test, and was to appear for the personal interview. Later, as the interview progressed, the interviewer found this boy to be bright since he could answer all the questions correctly. The interviewer got impatient and decided to corner the boy.

"Tell me your choice," said he to the boy, "What's your choice: I shall either ask you ten easy questions or ONE real difficult. Think well before you make up your mind."

The boy thought for a while and said, "My choice is ONE real difficult question."

"Well, good luck to you, you have made your own choice!" said the man on the opposite side. Tell me: What comes first, Day or Night?"

The boy was jolted first but he waited for a while and said: "It's the DAY, sir."

"How???????" the interviewer shot back, smiling.
("At last, I got you!" he said to himself.)

"Sorry sir, you promised me that you would only ask me ONE difficult question!"

The student was admitted to the University.

When our second child was on the way, my wife and I attended a pre-birth class aimed at couples who had already had at least one child. The instructor raised the issue of breaking the news to the older child. It went like this:

"Some parents," she said, "tell the older child, 'We love you so much we decided to bring another child into this family.' But think about that. Ladies, what if your husband came home one day and said, 'Honey, I love you so much I decided to bring home another wife.'"

One of the women spoke up immediately. "Does she cook???"

A Texan and his wife were on a trip to New York. She had just finished showering to dress for dinner and noticed that she had neglected to pack her bras. She asked her husband to go down to the dress shop in the lobby and pick up a couple of 36-C bras.

He said, "Ah'l go down raht now." So he put on his ten gallon hat and went to the shop.

The saleslady said, "May I help you, sir?"

When he told her that he wanted two 36-C bras, she asked, "Would you like two Playtex?"

He answered, "Ah'd luv ta little lady, but mah wife's a'waitin fur me up in the room."

The Dollar Stretcher
by Gary Foreman

 I wondered if in your vast knowledge you would know of any honest, real work there is for stay at home moms? Not selling Avon or Herbalife, but actually taking advantage of my admin skills that I still possess. I worked for a Fortune 500 company before becoming a stay at home Mom, now I need to supplement our income and all I keep finding is scams left and right. Any ideas?
Thanks much.    Michelle

-----

Boy, has Michelle got a lot of company. This has got to be one of the five most frequently asked questions. The good news is that yes, I have some ideas. But, the bad news is that they're not an easy 'one size fits all' type of solution.

Michelle has already framed the answer. She clearly doesn't want to do anything that is primarily sales (i.e. Avon or Herbalife) and that's understandable. Those are honest companies, but some people just aren't meant for sales. Just a different personality type. And Michelle is smart enough to avoid the scams (every time someone tells me they've been approached to stuff evelopes I cringe...).

The key is where Michelle says that she wants to 'take advantage of my admin skills that I still possess'. That's the key for anyone in Michelle's position. Evaluate the skills you have. Preferably something that requires skill, training and/or experience to master. Look for something that other people want. In Michelle's case it might be some specific part of her job (scheduling, proof reading, phone skills, etc) or the entire 'admin asst' package.

Once she has identified her skills, she can spend some time thinking of WHO can best use those skills. Specifically with Michelle working in a home environment. That might take some creative thinking. But some traditional 'office jobs' are becoming home jobs. Try to think like the employer. In one way it's a benefit for them when someone works at home. They don't have to provide office space. That's a big savings for them. So look for work that they can have done outside the office. If you find a way to help them make more money they WILL be interested.

The next step is to find companies that can use that skill. Don't limit yourself to large or small companies. Even though Michelle is used to working at a big company, she should consider how some of her skills might translate to a mom & pop business. Many of them are used to trying something new. Remember, that the worst that can happen is that you get turned down. No reason to avoid approaching them with the idea.

Michelle will also need to be creative in finding the right opportunity. It probably won't be advertised in the paper or on any of the job posting sites. In fact, there's a good chance that the people who hire her won't even know that they're looking for someone. At least, not until Michelle tells them about her idea how she can help them make more money! Yes, it will require some selling and Michelle doesn't like sales. But, it's different selling a product and selling yourself. Michelle has a product that she really believes in...herself!

Where can she find these companies? Try everything. From the phone book, to contacts in the community, to walking in on a potential employer. Talk up your idea for work to everyone who will listen. Even if you think that there's no way that they can help you. They might not be able to help. But, they might know someone who can.

It's also possible that Michelle will need more than one employer. She might need to work for two or three employers to get the hours/income that she wants.

Will it be easy to find honest, paying work? Probably not. But it is possible. More and more people are working remotely. Michelle's skill and willingness to search out a job can produce the results she wants. And, I for one, am betting that she'll succeed!

Keep on stretching those dollars!
