Wise words from Dale Carnegie…
Martin | : Quotations
Dale Carnegie said,
“The ideas I stand for are not mine. I borrowed them from Socrates. I swiped them from Chesterfield. I stole them from Jesus. And I put them in a book. If you don’t like their rules, whose would you use?”
Show the world what you are worth…
How much are you worth?
I don’t mean how much are the component parts of you
worth – the water and minerals that make up your body
(a bit less than a dollar for the raw materials, a bit
more if you could sell your working parts).
I mean how much does it say on the invisible price tag
that you have hung around your neck.
$10 an hour? $100? $1000?
You are worth exactly as much as you believe you are
worth.
My friend David is a joiner. He makes stuff out of
wood. Recently he was asked to price up a job that he
really didn’t want. Rather than turn it down, he simply
double his normal rates in the hope that the customer
would be put off.
The next day they were on the phone asking him how soon
he could start.
THAT made David rethink how much he was worth!
Another friend (also called David, coincidentally) is a
central heating installer. He told me that he normally
quoted £800 to fit a new boiler, but recently has been
losing jobs to other companies who charge much more.
When he started asking why he’d lost the job, the
customers told him that they figured the more expensive
companies would do a better job.
Dave immediately added £1000 to his standard price and
has been booked solid with work ever since.
Mike is a management consultant. He recently decided to
increase his hourly rate from £200 to £800. He is still
billing exactly the same number of hours but his income
has quadrupled – and he reports that his clients are
now FAR more likely to do as he recommends.
It happens all around us. People everywhere are
undervaluing their worth because they put their own
value on themselves instead of the value that their
clients and customers would put on them.
Take a look at the value that YOU put on yourself.
Look harder.
Now, whatever that value is, increase it. Live with it.
Let that new value sink in to your subconscious.
Then go out into the world and show them what you’re
worth.
Review of Blogging to the Bank 2010 by Rob Benwell
A couple of weeks ago I wrote about a new ebook that has just
launched called Blogging to the Bank 2010. It is the third
edition of the book and for my money, the best one so far.
I wasn’t a big fan of Blogging to the Bank 2 as it went off into
areas of Internet marketing and promotion that I’m not too
comfortable with – a bit black hat – but thankfully, this new
version is whiter than white! and better than its previous
incarnations by far.
Rob Benwell is still a young man, but he has a real talent for
making things clear and simple.
In Blogging to the Bank 2010 he tells how makes over $100k per
month, how his blogging system is easy and fast to set up, how
you need no experience to get started, and how he has personally
used his own strategies to drive over 2 million people to one of
his sites. Very powerful stuff and very easy to follow and
emulate.
I had planned to write more about Blogging to the Bank 2010 when
I first mentioned it, but at the time I was writing a lot about
Twitter and Twittollower, so somehow I didn’t get back to it. But
I’ve just heard that in its first week or two on sale, Blogging
to the Bank 2010 has already sold over 2,100 copies and that Rob
is considering taking it off sale when it reaches 2,500.
That means, at this rate, that there may only be a few days for
you to get this very useful, and extremely low-cost ebook.
There is no question that blogging is a very effective way to
make real money online. Blogging to the Bank 2010 makes it easy
for you to get your share – even if you don’t have any experience
of blogging yet.
And, of course, it is sold through ClickBank so you can buy with
100% confidence.
