Added for You - What To Do After You've Been Betrayed
Is a Leather Office Chair really your best choice of Office Chair? A lot of Office Chair users, particularly males believe that a Leather Office Chair is the best chair there is.Why is this? I think it's largely an image thing, if you see a top executive's office on TV, in the movies or in the news a very high percentage have Leather Office Chairs.Not surprisingly therefore people tend to have this belief that a Leather Office Chair has got to be the best choice because that's what all the top guns have.Nonetheless, there are certain drawbacks with Leather Office Chairs that you need to be mindful of before you rush out and buy one.First, there are some truly appalling office chairs that are upholstered in leather and people become blinded by the thought that it must be a quality chair because its in leather. Nothing could be further from the truth, there are any number of Leather Office Chairs being sold at unbelievably cheap prices that are little better than junk.The grade of leather used on them is extremely poor and the frames and mechanisms are as bad if not worse. Very often only the facings are leather the rest is in vinyl. So bear in mind this simple maxim, if the price is too good to be true, then it probably is.Second, leather being a polished or shiny finish can actually quite quickly put a shine on your clothes. If you wear expensive suits or outfits

There is no easy and rapid solution to the challenges of the MLM and network marketing industry. Here is what I have learned to do to avoid some of the pitfallsAVOID PITFALLS Have a strong "why". If you do not have a deeply felt, personal, "gut level" reason for wanting to accomplish your goal, you will struggle. Do whatever it takes to get it. Your why is not: get out of debt, retire early, etc. Your why is that deep level emotional and spiritual reason why you want to accomplish your goal. Put your goals in writing. Make them SMART. Specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time bound. I have annual, quarterly, monthly and weekly goals, that I put in writing in a three ring notebook. I share, actually, email my goals to my mentors. Goals, as Jim Rohn says, provide the roadmap fpr where you want to go. Learn to dream. I have a dream board and paste pictures of the house I want to live, car I want to drive, where I want to vacation. Treat your business like a business. That means you must learn how to and must always behave as a professional. It is not a hobby. Act like a business owner and people will treat you like one. Study, practice and teach business fundamentals. I have made it a daily practice to learn study and apply best practices in business networking, small business/home business accounting, taxes, prospecting, internet etiquette, approaching and so forth. Study,
When those we have entrusted with our money, our plans, our strategies, our loyalty or even our love betray us, we feel violated deep inside. We feel crushed. We wonder if we can ever recover from this.
It is at this moment of realization that you will make some of the most important decisions of your entire life. The three most critical choices you will make – whether you realize it or not are: (1) what to focus on; (2) what to believe; and (3) what to expect from this point forward. These three choices will determine the final impact this betrayal has on your life.
A LESSON FROM MICKEY
Most people don’t know that Walt Disney suffered a great business defeat early in his career. While living and working out of his uncle’s garage, Walt Disney had created a cartoon character called “Oswald the Lucky Rabbit” and signed a contract with Universal Studios to create animated short films about the little fury critter that would be shown before the main feature film at theaters. The short films enjoyed great success, but in his youth and naivete, Walt did not realize that he had signed away the rights to the character. When his contract came up for renewal, Universal Studios refused to renew the contract and announced that it owned the exclusive rights to produce films using “Oswald The Lucky Rabbit.” Walt was devastated.
Starting over from scratch, Walt desperately needed to come up with a new character. The garage he was living in was infested with rats and mice. Instead of sulking in his misery, instead of turning bitter, instead of filing a lawsuit, Walt focused on what he had left - his gifts, talents and abilities - and his incredible imagination. Walt actually made a pet out of one of the mice and kept it in a cage on his desk. Drawing inspiration from his miserable surroundings, Walt created a cute little mouse character that he named “Mickey Mouse.” And the rest, as they say, is history!

There are many business owners and staff that are unaware of how much they are damaging their business – by not doing the ‘little things’ that add value to their product or service.Seemingly simple or even trivial things can make the difference between an unhappy customer and a raving one.But there’s a warning here.Adding value, or going the extra mile doesn’t usually mean you have to walk over hot coals for your customers.And it doesn’t mean you have to give away profit either.In most situations it’s the opposite.All you have to do is the little things – the ‘little things’ that make a big difference to the CUSTOMER.So don’t worry about giving away a lot of product, or a lot of times to ‘add value’ just use plain old good manners.Let me give you an example.I worked with a business that installed computer cabling. The size of a good order was about $50K to $250K worth of cabling.The technicians that installed the cable were specialists and had a high degree of specialized knowledge. And they believed that they were doing a great service to their client by installing their cables.But they got a lot of complaints… and do you know what for?‘Trivial things’ as the technicians called it…The customers were complaining about the dust, hand prints and foot prints left on their work desks.You see the technicians usua

THREE CRITICAL CHOICES AT WORK
What made the difference? Walt Disney made the same three critical choices that heroes have made for thousands of years in order to turn tragedy into triumph.
HE CHOSE HIS FOCUS
First, Walt chose his focus. Instead of focusing on his bitterness and anger, instead of focusing on his miserable rat and mouse infested environment, he focused on the next most immediate steps he needed to take in order to survive. He chose to move forward. He chose to focus on what was in front of him, not what was behind him. He focused on the few resources he had left. He poured himself into his work and he started over.
HE CHOSE HIS BELIEFS
Second, Walt chose to believe. He could have decided his career as a cartoonist was over, and that he could never make it in Hollywood. He could have chosen to believe he could not compete against the “big boys” and disappeared into oblivion. After all, at that time, the only movies being made in Hollywood had real live actors, not cartoon characters. There was no full-length cartoon movie industry at that time, and no one knew whether there was even a viable market for full-length cartoon movies. Despite all this, Walt chose to believe, and he chose to keep believing every new day that the sun came up. Through this tenacious belief, and hard work, he single handedly created a whole new industry.
HE CHOSE HIS EXPECTATIONS
Third, Walt chose his expectations. He knew he could create cartoon characters that audiences would love because he had done it before. Failure was not an option. He expected to succeed, and this gave him the motivation to keep moving forward.
Remember, “they” may take away your office, your status, and your income. But they can’t take away your determination to succeed, your inherent abilities, your intelligence or your creativity. These are the very things that have brought you all of your past successes. These gifts, talents and abilities haven’t gone anywhere. Wherever you go, they are still with you!
