Answer: Simply put, because as humans we crave to be appreciated.
Whether you are appreciating a family member, a friend, a co-worker, or a customer or client, people need to be acknowledged for what they do; they need to know that they make a difference.
How do you show appreciation?
Answer: We show appreciation any number of way; a simple smile and a thank you works well, but all to often we forget even to do this simple gesture.
Another way we show appreciation is by shooting off a quick note of thanks in an email. Also, good to do to acknowledge a fellow human.
We can give a small, yet personal, gift to someone we appreciate; flowers, a book, or a box of gourmet tea.
Perhaps the most effective and lasting way to show appreciation is with a heart-felt handwritten note. Mary Kay has taught this basic principle to her associates for years, and today she had built a billion dollar cosmetics company. Joe Girard knows about sending heart-felt handwritten notes; for years he sent out thousands of notes every single month. The result is that Guiness Book of Records awarded him as the World’s Greatest Salesman.
The Challenge
In your personal life the rewards of showing appreciation is having more and deeper relationships with your family and friends. In your business life showing appreciation will result in more sales, more referrals, increased customer loyalty, more promotions and of course bigger financial rewards.
So, my challenge to you is by the end of every day you think of at least three people to send a personal handwritten note to. After you get good at doing this, start thinking about one person a week that deserves a little something extra, such as an inexpensive gift. Now think about how your relationships will blossom by consistently doing these simple and inexpensive tasks.
As Maya Angelou has said:
People will forget what you say They will forget what you do, but They will NOT forget how you make them feel!Receiving a heart-felt personal handwritten note is the ultimate form of appreciation that makes people feel good!

At the ripe old age of 18 I was introduced to network marketing. The company was Amway, what else, and even though it was difficult for an 18 year old male to get excited about cleaning products, I immediately embraced the concept of network marketing and the promise of residual income.
Whether you are just now taking a look at a home-based business or if you too have been enamoured with this business model, but have yet to realize the rewards of your endeavors, then I would encourage you to take just 3 minutes to look at my video. It is my pleasure to help you to succeed at this very exciting and successful way to make a living.
Thank you for your valuable time.

This post is written in response to the front page headlines of today’s Times Herald Record, which reads, ” Many workers see no retirement in sight”.
Some of you who know me or at least know my background might be reading this a saying, “Wait a minute now, you’re a chiropractor, what the heck are you doing promoting early retirement through a home-based business?” Well, that’s a very good question. And, the answer is that while I love being a chiropractor, there are a number of reasons why I chose to diversify.
- The business of health care is very draining; ask any doctor.
- The prospect of selling my practice at retirement for a good profit is becoming less real; ask any sole practitioner.
- If I am not seeing patients my income goes away.
- The thought of a second income stream that is residual has always intrigued me.
The truth is that with the economy continuing to affect the lifestyle of many people, there are a select group of people who are seeing early retirement as a distinct possibility. These people have discovered the unique opportunity that a home-based business provides.
Over the years, it has been shown that during lean economic times, home-based businesses flourish; Why? Because of the potential to work a part-time opportunity and convert it into a very real full-time business. For some people, an extra $500-$1000 per month is all that is necessary to prevent bankruptcy or foreclosure. Then as their business builds the possibility of leaving their 9-5 to make more money while working from home is a very appealing prospect.
However, as many people have discovered, not all home-based businesses are created equal. They’ve come to learn the importance of finding a company that offers:
- A unique product or service.
- A product or service that is consumable; requiring repeat business.
- A product or service that does not require a lifestyle change, making it more appealing to more people.
- A company that provides an equitable compensation plan.
What many people also discover is that, as with any other business, operating a home-based business takes commitment to a 2-5 year game-plan; there is no such thing as a “Quick Buck”. The significant difference here is that the start up cost and monthly overhead for a brick and mortar business is typically huge. For a home-based business the start-up and monthly overhead investment is extremely modest, making it very affordable for most people, even during lean times.
People are starting to build their home-based business now, knowing that in 2 to 5 years they can retire from their 9-5 and enjoy their life making a significant income from home.
If you’ve ever thought of starting your own home business, now is the time to begin. Fill in your contact information on the right and click the Submit button. I will send you additional information about a FUN Home Business with a VERY unique product that has virtually NO competition. I look forward to working with you to grow a strong home business that will help you to celebrate life, just be sure to submit your contact information on the right.

Like press releases and article submissions, posting videos on the Internet involves little or no cost. As along as you have a little actor built into you then videos in my opinion can be a great medium for you. The reason being is that videos tend to show a very personal side of you; something that does not come through so evidently in an article or press release. Your audience can definitely relate more to you in a video.
All you need is a camera that can create a digital video. In today’s market, these can be very affordable. You can get a FlipVideo for about $150. They produce a fair image. If you listen to some of the gurus out there a few may tell you that you should get a super LX video camera. I don’t believe this is necessary, especially at first. Some of them may also tell you to get a super terrific lightening system; I’m not sure this is necessary either. I’ve seen some pretty basic low budget videos out there and many of these come off very well.
The best thing is to do your homework. Go to YouTube, Break.com, Viddler.com, etc and see what’s out there. Do a search for the type of videos you would like to post and get some ideas not only about content and topic, but also the lighting and the atmosphere. Are there any titles, how about background music. Is there evidence of a highly crafted script or do they appear to be winging it? Figure out what would work best for you and start doing a story board and/or write your own script.
My YouTube site is, www.youtube.com/peteraholst. A few of my favorite YouTube channels are: vlogbrothers, sxephil, mlmdebate, and drpetergratale. There are obviously tons more including those on viddler.com and break.com.
Once you’ve made your video you can certainly post it yourself on any of the video sites. You can also subscribe to services like TubeMogul or Traffic Geyser who will post your videos on all of the video sites.
Like articles and press releases, the more you post and more consistently you post the better your results as far as increasing your Internet presence.

Hello . . . I’m back! Yes, I’ve left you hanging for a long time . . . that wasn’t very thoughtful of me now was it? Sorry about that! O.K., so let’s see what kind of unfinished business we have here . . .
First, yes, I know I still owe you the remaining 2 strategies to increase your Internet presence and to really start to brand yourself. I promise that is forthcoming.
Second, I also know that my last post, “Are Your Actions Consistent with Your Dreams” took a tangent of elaborating on the “Your Dreams” part, without really discussing the main topic, the “Are Your Actions Consistent” part. I suppose that was an inadvertent, yet necessary sojourn.
The truth is that knowing your dreams and keeping them near and dear to your heart is truly the best way to remain focused so that your actions, in fact, do remain consistent wit your dreams. And, remember, this part especially is as much, if not more, for me as it might be for you.
Perhaps the biggest thing I have become aware of is the number of distractions available that distract us from remaining focused on our dreams. In fact, you are undoubtedly sitting in front of it right now; your computer. A great and wonderful tool, while at the same time the king of all distractions. How ofter during the day do you check your email? How many times do you find yourself surfing? Oh, I just want to look one thing up; and before you know it, it’s 2 hours latter.
As a self-employed entrepreneur; that’s redundant, isn’t it? Well, I included the phrase “self-employed” to make the point that as an entrepreneur you are self-employed, and as someone who is self-employed, so too are you an entrepreneur. As such, the key phrase you and I need to master is self-discipline.
Oh MAN, is this so much about what I need to do!!! Too many hours are lost, wasted, never to be seen again because I lacked self-discipline and self-control; another great activity to master.
Personally, I find that my most productive time is when I have my list and stick to it. Work on it in the evening; putting down everything you didn’t get down during the day and everything you want to accomplish over the next 24 hours. As I go through my next 24 hours I take great pleasure to cross off the tasks that I completed.
Time Killers to avoid:
- Have a set time, twice a day, to check email. Exit the program all other times.
- Exhibit great self-discipline to avoid surfing.
- Avoid spending extended periods of time getting prepared, just get to work.
- Set specific break times to regroup, get recharged, and become refocused.
That’s it from me for right now.
What are your thoughts? Anything you have to offer would not only help me and other readers, but by stating them, like I have done here, could very well help you to Keep Your Actions Consistent with Your Goals!
And, oh yeah! I am feeling much better now that I have accomplished this goal!

Believe me when I say that this post is written as much, if not more, for me as it is for you. And so I ask again, are your actions consistent with your dreams? Part two of this question is, or have you stopped dreaming?
Dreams and goals are absolutely necessary ingredients to ensure one’s success. In fact, one might contend that they are not only a necessary part, but that they need to be ingredients one and two; all else fails without a compelling “why”. Why do you do the things you do? What is it that you want out of life? If in fact, you would like more out of life, then you have to exercise your dream muscles and re-establish your compelling why.
For me, I have always dreamed of taking 2-3 exotic vacations annually, driving a really nice sports car, and working no more than 20 hours a week, while I spend the rest of my time working on my golf game, riding my bicycle, and tooling around the country side on my Harley. And so I don’t appear too selfish, another part of my dream is to donate more of my time and money to the church and to community organizations. Nice dream, huh? Totally and completely unfulfilled! At least for now!!! And so, I keep dreaming because I know it will happen.
So, how am I working on realizing my dream? As a chiropractor my mission has always been to help people become pain-free and achieve higher levels of health and vitality by pursuing a chiropractic lifestyle, without the use of drugs or surgery. However, I am not all that altruistic because from the beginning I knew there would be a financial reward; at least that was what I fully expected. In fact, this was what I was told by my professors while in chiropractic college; “When you graduate you’re going to earn a professional income”. I don’t know about you, but to me that meant no less than $250k/year. Unfortunately, that never happened for me, and in recent years my income has gone down, way down!
So what’s the problem? Why am I and many others in healthcare seeing dramatic cuts in their paycheck? Because our pay is dependent upon two things; (a) a third-party pay system that derives great pleasure out of finding new ways to not pay you, and (b) a society that says they want good health, but when push comes to shove they either don’t have the money for it or it is not important enough to actually pay for, especially in 2009!
The other thing I have come to realize about healthcare that has kept me from realizing my dreams is that there is no compounding. What do I mean by that? That means that if I tell two people about chiropractic, and they each tell two people who in turn tells two people . . . all of those people still need to come in to see me for them to benefit and for me to be paid. I am forever trading time for dollars.
Contrast the healthcare industry with that of network marketing. With network marketing if I tell two people and they tell two people who also tell two people . . . now I get paid for the work of every single one of those people without talking to or necessarily even knowing any of them; it’s a beautiful thing! The best part is that since everyone profits, they are all much more likely to tell “two people” and keep the ball rolling.
Now I know what you’re saying, with network marketing I have to sell something. The question is, how it that different from what you do as a healthcare provider? You’re either selling yourself or you are selling your services; there is always some sort of promotion going on if you want to be successful.
No doubt there are other stigmas associated with network marketing. In answer to perhaps the two biggest questions, I have found an excellent video by Tim Sales on YouTube. Before you take a look at it let me just say that if you want to be successful beyond your dreams there are a few points to consider before getting involved with network marketing.
- There IS serious money to be made in network marketing, but you MUST treat it like any other business. Many people think that because the start up cost is so low that it is not a real business that requires time and effort. 10-15 hours per week at a minimum and don’t forget that it is NOT a get-rich quick scheme.
- The product you represent must be something you believe in and can get passionate about.
- The product must be consumable, demanding repeat business.
- There must be a fair compensation plan.
- The owners must have a great support system and have definite plans for growth.
Remember, the residual income with network marketing can be huge, but only if you are serious about it!
Here’s Tim, enjoy!
