The Power of Twenty Dollars!

Can you use an extra twenty dollars this week?

If you had it what would you do with it?

Could you turn it into $2,000 as one of my students did one year?

Could you change the world? Would you even Dare to try?!?

When we think about capital, so many of us think about thousands or millions or in this day and age of big government---trillions!

But what of the power of 20?

Is it too little?
Or does it have the potential for greatness? For motivating change? Or for encouraging something new to grow or to exist or to be...?

The biggest challenge with our money, whether one dollar or a million one dollar bills, is the management of that money. But even more important is the planning of what the money can accomplish and what return it can produce and hopefully, what kind of good work it can accomplish when it is properly directed and professionally managed.

What would YOU do with twenty dollars?

How would you change the world?

How would your idea change the way we think and live?

So, could you use an extra twenty dollars?

Come to my weekly Coffee Conversation at Updike's at 8am this Thursday, April 1st.

I'll have some twenties to share with the best ideas.

See you then-

NATIONAL SMILE WEEK

Spring arrived yesterday (Saturday), and since then it has been just glorious! Warm weather means warm clients and marks the end of the doldrums of winter.

I am calling this "National Smile Week," only because I think this is the time to smile and be more friendly and use this action to keep your business moving forward.

Your smile is a great tool for disarming the sourpuss, entrancing the mildly awake, and standing out in every opportunity to set yourself apart from the numerous sad sacks that seem to dominate in every situation. Attiude matters. Your winning smile can make all the difference between great success and abject disappointment.
Just smile.

This Thursday we'll talk about how your internal attitude is made obvious to clients by how they perceive your outside appearance. Key among all these outside characteristics is your smile.

Bring your best smile and your positive attitude to our Coffee Conversation this coming Thursday morning. We'll talk about how to turn your smile into more business.
Btw, smiling is the greatest low-cost, no-cost tool your business has!

If you have questions in the meantime or simply want to get a jump on the competition, please call me anytime at 401-667-0971.

Please mark your calendar to attend my next Coffee Conversation at Updike's in North Kingstown on Thursday morning, March 25th at 8:00am.

See you again soon-

INCREASING YOUR CUSTOMER BASE!

The weather is getting better, warmer---except for all the rain---and that means that business too will begin to heat up as we move toward the middle of the year.

This week we'll talk about adding customers to your client roster.

The main criteria for success in this effort is to identify those potential clients and businesses that have a problem you know how resolve. By focusing on clients with problems, you will be 85% of the way to increasing your customer base.
