Wow! Lots of irons in the fire today! Today, I am listing new e-books, bogging (obviously!) developing a new website, updating my current websites, listing items on eBay, and making deposits in the bank ( love that!). Thank God for caffeine!

I have a Free resource to recommend to you. It's called the Small Business Ideas Forum and it's a friendly place to share small business ideas & knowledge, ask questions, find help and encourage others that are involved in the small business industry. Topics include small business marketing, generating revenue, and small business computing. I have really enjoyed reading their articles and posts. Linda and the gang are great. Check them out.

I am getting ready to begin a new successful on-line business this Spring. It will focus on Pet Memorials and remembrance pieces for those who have lost their beloved pets. I have hired a phenomenal expert in the memorial, funeral, and grief counseling field and WOW! He is amazing! This new project will focus on Pet Memorials and remembrance pieces for those who have lost their beloved pets and want to honor them forever. Why am I adding this business to my busy list? Simple, 1. There is a need.
2. I have the connections to meet this need.
3. I am always looking to add another stream of income to my already current list of

The 4 P's!

In life, as in advertsing and marketing, "Perception Is Everything!"

Brian Tracy discusses the four “Ps” that will enhance your ability to persuade others in both your work and personal life. They are power, positioning, performance, and politeness. And they are all based on perception.

The first “P” is power.
The more power and influence that a person perceives that you have, whether real or not, the more likely it is that that person will be persuaded by you to do the things you want them to do. For example, if you appear to be an executive, or a wealthy influential person, people will be much more likely to help you and serve you than they would be if you were perceived to be a lower level employee. It's a self-fulfiling prophecy.

The second “P” is positioning.
This refers to the way that other people think about you and talk about you when you are not there. Your positioning in the mind and heart of other people largely determines how open they are to being influenced by you. In everything you do involving other people, you are shaping and influencing their perceptions of you and your positioning in their minds. Think about how you could change the things you say and do so that people think about you in such a way that they are more open to your requests and to helping you achieve your goals.

The third “P” is performance.
Be Good at what you do. This refers to your level of competence and expertise in your area. A person who is highly respected for his or her ability to get results is far more persuasive and influential than a person who only does an average job. Commit To ExcellenceThe perception that people have of your performance capabilities exerts an inordinate influence on how they think and feel about you. You should commit yourself to being the very best in your field. Sometimes, a reputation for being excellent at what you do can be so powerful that it alone can make you an extremely persuasive individual in all of your interactions with the people around you. They will accept your advice, be open to your influence and agree with your requests.

The fourth “P” of persuasion power is politeness.
People do things for two reasons, because they want to and because they have to. When you treat people with kindness, courtesy and respect, you make them want to do things for you. They are motivated to go out of their way to help you solve your problems and accomplish your goals. Being nice to other people satisfies one of the deepest of all subconscious needs, the need to feel important and respected. Whenever you convey this to another person in your conversation, your attitude and your treatment of that person, he or she will be wide open to being persuaded and influenced by you in almost anything you need.

Perception Is Reality Again, perception is everything. The perception of an individual is his or her reality. People act on the basis of their perceptions of you. If you change their perceptions, you change the way they think and feel about you, and you change the things that they will do for you. Action Exercises Here are two things you can do immediately to put these ideas into action: First, think continually about the impression you want to make on others and then make sure that everything you do or say is consistent with that perception. Second, be nice to people. Practice the Golden Rule in your interactions with others. Always be polite and make others feel important. The more people like you, the more open they are to being influenced by you.
