I’m often told in social and business situations what a great conversationalist I am.
As most of you know, I don’t write much. I’m a man of few words. I have a tendency to write and say only as much as is needed.
Still I am often left with remarks that exclaim how great I am to [...]
Or, can be madness, I suppose.
I originally posted the copied email below as a comment in my discussion about time passing quickly, but then thought it deserved a topic of it’s own.
Here is a response from a customer after their site was suspended for non-payment.
===================================
Dear Member Care,
Whew, you guys finally cut us off, after a [...]
I research every provider about as well as possible before deciding on a service.
I don’t necessarily go with the most popular. But, will go with someone that has demonstrated through deeds that they deliver what they’re paid to.
That being said, I did go with a popular merchant gateway a year or more ago. Basically because [...]
For me, the strongest piece of the book, Twenty Minutes a Day to a More Powerful Intelligence by Arbie M. Dale, was the self-evaluation section of “the witness.”
Although I used the technique more when I first learned it, I try to remember to use it on occasion still.
It involves simply watching yourself.
Imagine yourself being [...]
That would be Charles J. Gibson.
His father founded Gibson Appliance. Gibson finally sold out to Westinghouse, last I heard. But, it was still Gibson and still Chuck’s when I worked for him.
I had the privilege of working for this person for nearly two years as domestic help.
I was employed as Butler/Chauffeur. And, in [...]
Started hosting nearly four years ago.
Not that it’s something special. No matter how much I enjoy it.
But, what I just noticed as I was going through invoicing was; we still have our very first customer.
I’m sure, no matter what business, it is exciting to get that first customer.
I’m tellin’ ya; it’s just as [...]
The SSS (SoftWareRevue Sleeping System)
When I began the journey into supplying internet commodities, I knew I’d need to be always accessible. The only way to be always accessible, is to never sleep.
Since, not sleeping wasn’t an option, I came up with next best thing. I only nap.
Wake for three or four hours. Sleep for one.
The [...]
I cannot stress enough the importance on writing well.
If you want your web site to be noticed, make sure it’s full of spelling and grammatical errors.
If you want your web site to be appreciated and remembered, write well.
The first rule of developing good site content is the same as the first rule of writing. “Write. [...]
I shillyshally.
That’s a silly word.
I am a practicing procrastinator.
I justify that by enjoying working under pressure. I can work pretty fast. And I enjoy working fast, multi-tasking, and rising up from unfortunate circumstance. So, I find that procrastinating plays into that well.
But then, there’s the evil side of procrastination.
You wait and wait and [...]
I have been in the service industry about as long as I can remember.
We did in-home service and repair of major appliances, heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration.
When I was building my own service company, I drew from my experiences to train my employees.
The top thing I tried to stress is to offer more than the customer [...]
