The Golden Hour

By: Brian Tracy
You become what you think about most of the time. And the most important part of each day is what you think about at the beginning of that day.
Start Your Day RightTake 30 minutes each morning to sit quietly and to reflect on your goals. You'll find when you read the biographies and autobiographies of successful men and women that almost everyone of them began their upward trajectory to success when they begin getting up early in the morning and spending time with themselves.
Feed Your Mind With Positive IdeasThis is called the Golden Hour. The first hour sets the tone for the day. The things that you do in the first hour prepare your mind and set you up for the entire day. During the first thirty to sixty minutes, take time to think and review your plans for the future.
Use Your Quiet Time EffectivelyHere are four things that you can do during that quiet time in the morning. Number one is to review your plans for accomplishing your goals and change your plans if necessary.

Number two is think of better ways to accomplish your goals. As an exercise, assume that the way you're going about it is totally wrong and imagine going about it totally differently. What would you do different from what you're doing right now?

Number three, reflect on the valuable lessons that you have learned and are learning as you move toward your goals.

The Dust Mite Way

with my new dust mite door cards, i am confident that i can get into some houses. 

i can be assertive with setting appointments for us to come back to clean or 'solve' the dust mite problems that I am sure that I can create at the door, and on the inspection if i get that far. 

while on the inspection, i will ask the probing/investigative and qualifying questions 

i will get you on demos, i am going to show karl the new card, and tell him that im doing it, and he can turn down the demos if he wants. 

i am going to get funding for the ecig direct sales co, i will get a small business loan, or some type of funding. we have come too far to fail or give up. we will create a successful sales company, we will be successful and start a business that sets us free

good things are happening. 

i am going to get an apartment of my own, or we will. 

i will get some type of part time, cash making job

i am still thinking about waitstaff somewhere. i will get hired on the spot, walking interview, try out. 

i am focusing on myself now, not on relationships, work on my self first, and make myself more presentable, then go back to the dating world. 

I am going to get out of debt, pay of the credit cards, get credit back, buy house

i am going to become a dust mite expert

Dr Selling

Dear davidwcoon,

Did you know that top sales professionals see themselves as "Doctors of Selling?" They see themselves as professionals, well educated, acting in their "patient's" best interest, and bound by a high code of ethics.

The medical process is the same everywhere. Whenever you go to any doctor, of any kind, for any condition, he will follow the three part sequence of examination, diagnosis and prescription.

Just as a medical professional would never think of treating you without following these three steps in order, you as a doctor of selling, would never allow a customer to force you to sell without your going through your three stages as well. This is as applicable to selling magazines door-to-door as it is to selling oil tankers to Exxon.

Stage One
The first stage is examination. In the examination phase, you ask excellent questions, carefully prepared, in sequence, which are geared to give you a thorough knowledge of the patient's condition, or the customer's situation.

Stage Two
The second phase is that of diagnosis. In the diagnosis phase with a customer, you would repeat back the results of your examination and double check to be sure that the symptoms that you had detected were the real symptoms being experienced by the patient. You would ask additional questions to confirm and corroborate. You and the patient would mutually agree that this diagnosis seems to be an accurate description of the condition or problem.

Stage Three
Once this mutual agreement has been reached, that a treatable condition exists and that you have identified it accurately, you can move on to phase three. This is the prescription phase, where you show the patient (customer) that your product or service is the best available treatment, taking all the factors of the patient's situation into consideration for the ailment that you have diagnosed. You show that, on balance, what you are suggesting is the best of all possible solutions.

Professionals who sell in the way that doctors treat patients find that their sales activities proceed far more smoothly and result in better sales in less time.

Action Steps
Here are two things you can do immediately to put these ideas into action.

First, take the time to do a thorough examination by asking excellent questions and by listening carefully to the answers.

Second, repeat back and check your diagnosis with the customer so that you both agree on the need or problem - before you recommend a solution.

To your sales success,

Brian Tracy

Dust Mite Free Home Facts. 

Don't take my word for it, listen to the AMA, EPA, CDC, ALA and Dust Mite Dave

“After a short incubation period, ordinary carpet dirt contains 99,000,000 to 11,600,000,000 bacteria in each ounce” (The American Medical Association)  “Pneumonia is caused by DUST, not by colds and exposure”. (Chief of Health Bureau in Chicago, Illinois) “Each flu season is unique, but it is estimated that, on average, approximately 5% to 20% of U.S. residents get the flu, and more than 200,000 persons are hospitalized for flu-related complications each year. About 36,000 Americans die on average per year from the complications of flu.” “Second-hand smoke has been classified as a Group A carcinogen by the EPA” “Lung disease is the third leading cause of death In America”. (American Lung Association) “70 percent of the 'Dust' you see floating in the air in the sunlight in your home is dead skin cells, the main food for dust mites, so if you don't have any dust in your home, you are safe from the mites decomposed dead bodies and dried feces gone airborne.” -Dave the Dust Mite Dude If you have dust, call in the Dust Buster Ryan

“The annual direct health care cost of asthma is approximately $15.6 billion; indirect costs (e.g. lost productivity) add another $5.1 billion, for a total of $20.7 billion dollars. Prescription drugs represented the largest single direct cost, at $5.9 billion.” “Asthma can be controlled by taking medicine & avoiding the triggers that cause an attack. You must remove the triggers in the environment that can make your asthma worse…The most common triggers of Asthma are second hand smoke, dust mites, mold, insect droppings, and household pets. (Center for Disease Control & Prevention) “Americans spend approximately 90% of their time indoors where the levels of pollutants frequently exceed those found outdoors….indoor air pollutants have been linked to a variety of health effects, including respiratory problems and worsening of asthma”.(EPA) “Exposure to dust mites during the first crucial year life can trigger a lifelong problem, there is no cure, only prevention”. According to Scientific American “A baby crawling on the floor inhales the equivalent of 4 cigarettes a day, as a result of the outgassing of carpets, molds, mildews, fungi, dust mites, etc.”
