Want to discourage telemarketers? Sign up for the Do-Not-Call List. Canada: https://www.lnnte-dncl.gc.ca/index-eng. United States: http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2008/04/dncfyi.shtm What a great scam it would be to create a website where people would register their email addresses and telephone numbers with me and then I could call them and send them offers all the time! I wonder if anyone has thought [...] I’m stealing this title from something that Harv Eker offered on his blog a few weeks ago. It makes sense. There are an infinite number of opportunities and each time you stop to smell the opportunity, another bus destined for the place you planned to go whizzes by. Sure, it might be the opportunity that melds your [...] Okay, 2 posts ago (Travel, Millions, Mind) I confessed to being organized. Um, maybe uh, enthusiastically organized. I research purchases, I study maps, I check in with my personal taste and preferences, and consult my sweetie pie (or the stars, or the dog if no one else is offering an opinion.) We are off to NYC and, [...] We learned not to buy doodads from Robert Kiyosaki. He’s the Richdad, Poordad guy. Not only have we read the books (or at least some of them), we have also played Cashflow, the boardgame. I highly recommend both. Especially, if you have teenagers or young adults leaving the nest. There are some money concepts that will help them [...] Canfield of Dreams Catchy, no? As it turns out, it is the answer to my “build it, they will come” situation. And, we’re part of the Canfield family’s answer to the same question. (If you haven’t seen Kevin Costner in Field of Dreams or read the Kinsella story upon which the movie was based, I recommend it.) Nomads Ever wanted [...] My Stone Angel (apologies to Margaret Laurence) smelling the heather. I have often framed my life as perfect. Lucky me. Once, some decades ago, I was positively gleeful about the fact that I lived in Kitsilano – an area in Vancouver, BC, that is near the ocean, lots of green space, big old houses, people beaches & [...] No, not the ones who change diapers & drive to soccer practice. My family men. A couple of them, anyway. My son & my brother got me thinking – ’cause without them, who knows what my mind would have been doing! One of the topics was passion & purpose. My MBA son has many, many, many, many, [...] After the radio show (http://businessheretics.com/ck/radio) where we didn’t have our planned discussion but, instead, had a jolly and important digression into the issue of gendered marketing, & tangentially, the idea of who is best served by “my” product or service. In half an hour we were only warming up, there are so many directions to consider. I [...] It seems like I’ve been doing a lot of shopping. First it was time for a new computer router. Next, one of the 2 house phones died dead. Somehow, we needed a new bed – and found a deal. This meant a craigslist adventure to find a new bed frame. And, I found one – for [...] What I know how to do in teaching, and writing, is set up a foundation. No fruit is expected for 6 months. Loyalty often comes after the fact. I don’t know how to reach into the pond of potential customers & pull out a sale quickly. My sales expertise is a slow wooing. One gentle step forward, [...] 100 words of happiness…. Today, with about 30 teens, I saw the Olympic Torch – in the very non-wintery Olympic sunshine. A celebration. In the newspaper, a woman who will celebrate her 100th birthday next month reminisced about her husband’s Olympic involvement. Beside these monumental celebrations, and dear Stacey’s 600th blog post (http://staceyrobinsmith.com, http://theleftcoast.ca ) my 100 days [...] I got it! A book & a conversation and 10 years of learning solidified in one enormous, solid, unshakeable, already created, pile of resolve & clarity. First, the book, heroes: a guide to realising your dreams by Jim Stynes, Paul Currie & Jon Carnegie. It’s 200 pages full of graphics & hard-to-read print in red, black & [...] |
