Have you noticed how easy it is for some guys to influence others? Why are people so willing to give them a red carpet treatment? Could it be that it’s simply because they have built a solid reputation for themselves? It’s obvious that a high ground position commands an advantage: trust.
In this Mashable post I found very good tips to develop your blogging. It’s a good one, that’s why it’s here. I didn’t want you to miss it.
I think the referral is a killer approach for any cold call. It’s most useful when you don’t know your client that much, or don’t know if your offer will make any sense to his operation. For example, when looking for a job, it’s much easier and more productive to ask your contacts to review […]
We left the previous post with (my interpretation of) Jon Kabat-Sinn’s charged view of meditation: Meditation requires that we open ourselves, letting go of our lives.
