You’re Close-Minded

man-scratching-head

I bet you think you’re open-minded. Well I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings, but you’re not. You’re not even close.

Amazingly enough, along with being good at lovemaking and driving, pretty much everybody thinks they’re open-minded. The fact that we’d never have any arguments let alone wars if only it were true seems to escape most people’s attention.

How do I know that you in particular aren’t open-minded you may be

He Eats Cute Puppy Dogs You Know

I rarely write political posts because as a life coach I don’t really think it’s my job to do so. I used to be very political in my youth, but I grew disillusioned with politicians who I saw as becoming increasingly hypocritical and self-serving.

Actually Staples That Isn’t Easy – But You Already Know That, Right?

I needed to get some office supplies and also some labels for shipping my book this morning and as there is a Staples very close to my gym I called in there.

Your Call Is Important To Us

I work for myself and I think like most people that do so, I work hard to keep my customers not just happy but delighted.

There is a fine book by Jeffrey Gitomer called Customer Satisfaction is

Irrelevancy Killed The Internet

Fresh from my discovery that my long-term aim is to be able to help kids succeed by using some of the life coaching techniques that I now use with adults, I trotted off to get myself a suitable domain name for future use.

I had a list of 10 names when I logged onto Network Solutions and one criterion that was to get a .com rather than a .org or .net. I use Network

Would You Buy From This Company?

Anybody that reads my Blog or knows me well understands how passionate I am about customer service and looking after the people that effectively pay my bills, my clients. It’s not difficult to return phone calls, to turn up for meetings on time or simply do the best job that I can. It’s also no more than people deserve for me to tell them if I think that I may not be the best person to help

Selling Online – Make It Easy

I was looking to order some cd’s online the other day. I spent about half an hour looking and deciding what I wanted and finally made a decision. I started the order process and filled in all my details and then hit the next button. I was immediately returned to the previous screen. I had failed to check the box that said I had read the terms and conditions. My mistake I accept that,
