ISN'T LIFE GRAND!  It's gotta be, no ones complaining!  If you haven't popped into this forum yet, I believe you're missing out.  It's wide open, no rules, just wrong!  If nothings bugging you, MAKE SOMETHING UP: no one will know....

My dog won't come if I call him, he can't be bribed with food.  He seems lazy when he's awake. But I heard it's the Chinese New Year of the Dog so I won't complain to him- won't do any good.  You have to step over him when he's laying down, he won't move.  If Tony Robbins had a canine program, Max wouldn't be interested.  Hey, what can I say?  We both have a lot in common!  Call me a Dog, I take it as a compliment!

My dear friend Chuck EXCELLENT forum you have here.

I've got a "complaint" if one can call it that, but in truth it just makes me rather sad that people are making the selling/marketing mistakes they are making.

Sending hundreds, even thousands, of "offers" out daily with little or even nothing to show for it.  I can't even imagine the frustration people must have simply because they haven't learned how to market PASSIVELY.  Here's what I'm talking about.

***** NEVER sell a product or service.  Sell YOURSELF. *****
- It's really the only thing that people (need to) buy. -  
- a presentation by Gunther G.

Above is the key to the seminars and sales training workshops I have been giving since I "retired" in 1991.

Below is what has been the source of what has given me everything I will ever need in life.

How to Win Friends and Influence People is one of the first bestselling self-help books ever published. Written by Dale Carnegie and first published in 1937, it has sold more than 16 million copies. It has been translated to the main languages of the world. It was a New York Times best seller for 10 years. It is already over its 42nd edition.

The book gives tips and strategies for communicating with people. In contrast with some modern theories of psychology, which emphasize autonomy, self-expression and assertiveness, it echoes Lord Chesterfield's view that pleasing others is both a duty and a paradoxical route to personal success.

The book has four major sections. The core principles of each section are listed below.

Fundamental Techniques in Handling People

• "Don't criticize, condemn or complain."
• "Give people a feeling of importance; praise the good parts of them."
• "Get the other person to do what you want them to by arousing their desires."

Six Ways to Make People Like You

• "Become genuinely interested in other people."
• "Smile."
• "Remember that a man's name is to him the sweetest and most important sound in any language."
• "Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves."
• "Talk in the terms of the other man's interest."
• "Make the other person feel important and do it sincerely."

Twelve Ways to Win People to Your Way of Thinking

• "Avoid arguments."
• "Show respect for the other person's opinions. Never tell someone they are wrong."
• "If you're wrong, admit it quickly and emphatically."
• "Begin in a friendly way."
• "Start with questions the other person will answer yes to."
• "Let the other person do the talking."
• "Let the other person feel the idea is his/hers."
• "Try honestly to see things from the other person's point of view."
• "Sympathize with the other person."
• "Appeal to noble motives."
• "Dramatize your ideas."
• "Throw down a challenge."

Nine Ways to Change People Without Giving Offense or Arousing Resentment

• "Begin with praise and honest appreciation."
• "Call attention to other people's mistakes indirectly."
• "Talk about your own mistakes first."
• "Ask questions instead of giving direct orders."
• "Let the other person save face."
• "Praise every improvement."
• "Give them a fine reputation to live up to."
• "Encourage them by making their faults seem easy to correct."
• "Make the other person happy about doing what you suggest."

Here are 3 of my favorite quotes that will help you achieve success in whatever it is you do as they appear on my primary website.

"When we are motivated by goals that have deep meaning, by dreams that need completion, by pure love that needs expressing, then we truly live life." - Greg Anderson

"There are none so Blind, Deaf, and Dumb, as those that fail to Recognize, Understand, and Promote TRUTH." - Gunther G.

It ALWAYS hurts when you pat yourself on your own back. It's meant to. A much better way is to act in such a way that others will pat you on the back for what you do. That way BOTH parties feel better about the experience.  - Gunther G.

Just giving you a hand there, my friend.  Cute doggie!  I like your forum and will be back.

Here is my daily thing - when I go to the kitchen, my 2 cats and dog always accompany me.  Then they sit and stare at me even though their bowls have food in them! 

Have a great day,

Sara
