Anger Management...!

There once was a little boy who had a bad temper.His Father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence.

The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.

Finally the ! day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper.The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.

The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence He said, "You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger,they leave a scar just like this one. You can put
a knife in a man and draw it out.It won't matter how many times you say "I'm
sorry", the wound is still there. A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one.

Friends are very rare jewels, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed.They lend an ear, they share words of praise and they always want to open their hearts to us.

"Do share it with your loved ones.YOU ARE MY FRIEND AND I AM HONORED! Please forgive me if I have ever left a hole.

ALEXANDER THE GREAT

The great Greek king, Alexander, after conquering many kingdoms, was returning home. On the way, he fell ill and he was bedridden for months. With death drawing close, Alexander realized how his conquests, his great army, his sharp sword and all his wealth were of no use.
He called his generals and said, “I will depart from this world soon. But I have three wishes. Please fulfill my wishes without fail.” With tears flowing down their cheeks, the generals agreed to abide by their king’s last wishes.

“My first desire is that,” said Alexander, “my physicians alone must carry my coffin. Secondly, when my coffin is being carried to the grave, the path leading to the graveyard should be strewn with gold, silver and precious stones which I have collected in my treasury. My third and last wish is that both my hands should be kept dangling out of my coffin.”

The people who had gathered there wondered at the king’s strange wishes. But no one dared to question. Alexander’s favorite general kissed his hand and pressed them to his heart. “O king, we assure you that your wishes will all be fulfilled. But tell us why do you make such strange wishes?” At this Alexander took a deep breath and said, “I would like the world to know of the three lessons I have just learnt.

1.I want my physicians to carry my coffin because people should realize that no doctor can really cure anybody. They are powerless and cannot save a person from the clutches of death. So let not people take life for granted.
2.The second wish of strewing gold, silver and other riches on the way to the graveyard is to tell people that not even a fraction of gold can be taken by me. Let people realize that it is a sheer waste of time to chase wealth.
3.And about my third wish of having my hands dangling out of the coffin, I want people to know that I came empty handed into this world and empty handed I go out of this world.”

Alexander’s last words: “Bury my body, do not build any monument, keep my hands outside so that the world knows the person who won the world had nothing in his hands when dying.”

I Believe..!!!

A Birth Certificate shows that we were born
A Death Certificate shows that we died
Pictures show that we lived!
Have a seat . Relax . . .
And read this slowly.

I Believe...
That just because two people argue,
It doesn't mean they don't love each other.
And just because they don't argue,
It doesn't mean they do love each other.

I Believe...
That we don't have to change friends if
We understand that friends change.

I Believe....
That no matter how good a friend is,
they're going to hurt you every once in a while
and you must forgive them for that.

I Believe...
That true friendship continues to grow,
even over the longest distance.
Same goes for true love.

I Believe...
That you can do something in an instant
That will give you heartache for life.

I Believe....
That it's taking me a long time
To become the person I want to be.

I Believe...
That you should always leave loved ones with
Loving words. It may be the last time you see them.

I Believe....
That you can keep going long after you think you can't.

I Believe....
That we are responsible for what
We do, no matter how we feel.

I Believe...
That either you control your attitude or it controls you.

I Believe...
That heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs
to be done, regardless of the consequences.

I Believe....
That my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.

I Believe....
That sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down
will be the ones to help you get back up.

I Believe...
That sometimes when I'm angry
I have the right to be angry,
But that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.

I Believe....
That maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had
And what you've learned from them and less to do with how many
birthdays you've celebrated.

I Believe....
That it isn't always enough,
to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

I Believe...
That no matter how bad your heart is broken
the world doesn't stop for your grief.

I Believe....
That our background and circumstances
may have influenced who we are,
But, we are responsible for who we become.

I Believe...
That you shouldn't be so eager to find
Out a secret. It could change your life Forever.

I Believe....
Two people can look at the exact same
Thing and see something totally different.

I Believe...
That your life can be changed in a matter of
Hours by people who don't even know you.

I Believe...
That even when you think you have no more to give,
When a friend cries out to you -
you will find the strength to help.

I Believe...
That credentials on the wall
do not make you a decent human being.

I Believe...
That the people you care about most in life
are taken from you too soon.

I Believe...
That you should share this to
all of the people that you believe in, like i just did.

Ten Internet Marketing Tips that Will Explode Your Business

One of the biggest frustrations or mistakes people make in having an online business is generating traffic to their websites. There is no point having a fancy looking website that just sits there with no traffic. The problem also lies within a large proportion of home businesses is that they do not teach you effective marketing strategies and instead lead you to believe that sending offline traffic to a replicated website will build your business.

There are so many options out there for people to learn internet marketing and get the marketing education that they need but it certainly helps to have it all in the one place so you dont have to spend months of time and thousands of dollars to learn the skills.I am going to share with you the top 10 tips in creating a online presence and becoming a master marketer.

1) Read Magnetic Sponsoring . I dont care what industry you are in – this is a must for learning how to become the hunted instead of the hunter.

2) Brand Yourself - Learn to become a leader. Give value and position yourself as a leader with personal branding

3) Learn copywriting – This skill is invaluable in order for you to learn how to use words that get people to take action.

4) Use Social Media – Use sites like Facebook, You Tube and Twitter to help create your online presence. Do no spam people with your opportunity or pitch people, learn to be yourself and attract people to get to know you.

5) Build Your Own List - This is so important that you use an autoresponder service that allows you toown your own list that you can market to and not filtering your traffic to a system.

6) Autoresponder Marketing - Personalise your autoresponders and build a relationship with your list by weaving your story and your message into your messages.

7) Google Adwords PPC - Do whatever you have to , to learn and master Google Adwords. You definetely need to be learning from the best to master this but when you do it can create six figures a month.

8) Master One Method at a Time - You have heard the saying “Jack of all trades – master of none” . Focus on one lead generation method until you master it before you move on. Dont try and learn everything at once.

9) Keyword Research - Know your target market first, do your keyword research and build your content, articles, videos etc all around those keywords.

10) Mindset – To get different results you need to become a different person. In my opinion mindset comes before skill.

How do you handle the dreaded salary question?

In an interview you will be asked two questions about compensation. If you do not handle them correctly it will be the end of the interview process or cost you a lot of money.
The first question is about earnings history. “What are you earning or what did you earn in your most recent job”?The second question is about your required compensation. “What do you need “? “What are you looking for”?

I will not review the bad advice but will cover the correct answers to both questions. The first question about earnings history must be answered honestly and accurately. Since it can easily be verified there is no point in trying to dodge the question so tell the truth. There are no circumstances that justify anything else.

The harder question that everybody frets over is what are you looking for?

One thing you never want to do is give a fixed number. Any number high or low will hurt you. Let’s look at what giving a number will do.

If the number is to high your interview process will end. The opportunity may have been so great that you might have considered it for less but in the beginning of the process it is too early to tell and the number you give assures you will never find out. Giving a number cost you the job. What if you decide to play it safe and give a low number? Suppose you say you would like 60K. If the employer was prepared to go to 65K you just lost 5K because like everybody else he wants to save money and if he thinks he can get you for 60K that is exactly what he will offer. Giving a low number cost you money and giving a high number cost you the job.

So if you can’t give a number what do you do?

You give the following answer;

My reason for being here is to evaluate the opportunity just as you are evaluating my fit for your organization. If the opportunity is everything I want and I satisfy all your needs I’m sure the money will not be an issue.

In most cases that will be the end of it. Some interviewers may push you by saying something like, I know you are primarily interested in the opportunity but really, what are your salary expectations?

In this case turn the question around on the interviewer with something like,

You know my background, skills and experience as well as your needs and pay range; what compensation do you feel would be appropriate?

I hope you find it helpful

2.'You have done a great job' means 'More work to be given to you'

3.'We are working on it' means 'We have not yet started working on the same'

8.'We can always do it' means 'We actually cannot do the same on time'

9.'We are on the right track but there needs to be a slight extension of the deadline' means 'The project is screwed up, we cannot deliver on time.'

10.'We had slight differences of opinion' means 'We had actually fought'

11.'Make a list of the work that you do and let's see how I can help you' means
'Anyway you have to find a way out, no help from me'

12.'You should have told me earlier' means 'Well even if you told me earlier that
would have made hardly any difference!'

13.'We need to find out the real reason' means 'Well I will tell you where your fault is'

14.'Well.... family is important, your leave is always granted. Just ensure that the work is not affected' means 'Well you know...'

15.'We are a team' means 'I am not the only one to be blamed'

16.'That's actually a good question' means 'I do not know anything about it'

15 Principles for Marketing Any Professional Service

Successful marketing doesn’t happen by accident. It takes insightful analysis, dedication to building a business and, most of all, patience.

Even though every company approaches the market in a unique way, the most effective marketers follow 15 principles that lead to their success.

1.Marketing is embedded in every aspect of the business, from the big things (like how you deliver services) to the details, such as the look of your emails and envelopes.

2.You have a market positioning vision that reflects your direction and purpose.Everyone in the practice understands and can describe it in a few brief sentences.

3.Clients understand your market positioning.

4.Your clients and prospects know what makes you different from your competitors.

5.All members of your practice know exactly how they contribute to the success of both your business and its marketing strategy.

6.You have a marketing activity calendar, and you follow it.

7.Client-specific programs are at the center of your marketing strategy.

8.You have patience with your marketing program, recognizing that some strategies take hold more quickly than others.

9.You measure the effectiveness of your marketing, making mid-course corrections as needed.

10.Your marketing strategy relies on an array of integrated tactics, applied consistently over time, rather than a start-and-stop approach.

11.You place a high value on client relationship skills.

12.You deliver your services flawlessly.

13.You provide a positive experience for your clients, no matter how tough the project.

14.Your marketing materials make a positive difference in your business development efforts.

15.You make time every day for marketing the business.

You can probably add to this list, but look at each of these principles and assess how well your firm is meeting the intent of each one. For most organizations, a few small changes in how they go to market can make a significant impact on performance.

I’ve left one essential, but obvious, item off this list. You must have an in-demand service offering that you can deliver to the market. Without that, your marketing efforts may succeed, but your business will ultimately fail.

How to Start a Business with No Money

Who said you need a lot of money to start a business? You don't! These are some tricks I would like to share that can allow you to start businesses with less than $1,000.


You Don't Need Everything from Day One
* You don't need to incorporate from day one.
* You don't need an office.
* You don't need a fax machine, fancy business cards or that desk you really like.
Don't feel like your business has to look like a "real business" from day one. Concentrate on selling and then selling some more. That's all you should be working on at the very beginning.

Have Contractors, not Employees
Having contractors has many advantages:
* You can stop working with them when you don't need them anymore or if they're not good at what they do.
* They don't need a desk or office space.
* When work is slow, they get paid less. When there's a lot of work, they make more money. Try to do that with an employee.

Pay for Results
It's OK to have some people on retainers, but make sure that most of their income is tied to results. If they bring you a lot of business, they should make a lot of money. After all, you'll be making a lot of money too, so it's only fair that you share it with those that help you achieve your goals.

Use Relationship Marketing to Your Advantage
This is the most important lesson that should be learned in the career as an entrepreneur, so please pay attention. The best kind of marketing is called "relationship marketing" and it's free. How does it work?
1. Find the people that have access to your audience.
2. Offer them a commission for referring business to you.
3. Let them market your company at no risk to you.
Let's say you offer city tours in Paris. Go to all the hotels in the city, talk to the front desk staff at each place and tell them what you do. They have access to millions of travelers and that's your target audience. Pay front desk clerks a commission for each guest they send your way. This is risk-free and extremely effective.

Be Smart About Your Inventory
These are two great pieces of advice I learned from my mentor:
* Produce on demand. When you receive an order, collect payment and then manufacture the product. By doing this your working capital will come from your customers instead of your own funds.
* Be the middle man. Instead of producing your own products, buy them at a discount from someone else and sell them at retail price. The profit margin will be smaller but this is a lot less risky. Once you're in a better financial situation, you can start producing your own products.

Do As Much as You Can Yourself
Build your own website, design your own business cards and write your own marketing copy. This won't look as great as work done by professionals, but it'll free and fast. Once you've sold a few thousand dollars worth of products, you can always re-do your website, business cards and marketing copy using experts.

Barter as Much as You Can
Very few people barter these days, but bartering is extremely powerful. If you have something other people want, try to barter for their services. You might not get the best expert in the industry to work with you, but whomever you get will be good enough.

Leverage Other People's Businesses
You should take advantage of the retail locations, distribution channels and manpower that other companies pay for. For example, if you sell t-shirts, opening your own retail store will be way more expensive than selling your t-shirts through other people's stores. Let them carry your products. Use their salespeople, their retail space and their distribution channels.

Nokia Story

A famous example of how change can result in untold success is Nokia, a company you are all very familiar with. Nokia embraces change. Originally they made paper products then they expanded into making galoshes, tyres and raincoats.

In the mid 80’s the Finnish Government was at the forefront of in-car telephony and Nokia decided to move into electronics. In the early 90’s they decided to enter the mobile handsets market. Their first product was forecast to sell 400,000 units – they sold 20 million and in the process, changed the world. Nokia is the only company in the world that generates more wealth than its country of origin.

In 2008 Nokia sold 350 million handsets, 35% of the 1 billion sold worldwide."

"It's not the strongest of the species that will survive, nor the most intelligent, it's the one most responsive to change."
