Embrace Rejection ? Every No Puts You Closer to A Yes
The last two weeks I have been waiting for an answer from a potential client on a large piece of business. While playing the waiting game I have been thinking a lot about the sales process. I realized I have not been turned down much lately. Before I got too excited I also realized I had not been asking for the business much lately either. My excuse was I had been busy with speaking, coaching and writing assignments and had taken my attention off generating new business.
Ask yourself, are you asking for the business often enough? Are you too busy delivering your product or service this month that you have not been thinking about what business you will bring in next month?If this rings true for you that would be about normal.

7 Tips To Keep Your Pet Safe On Halloween
Children aren't the only ones who should be closely monitored on Halloween. The holiday can be a scary and dangerous time for your pet as well. By following some simple tips you can keep your pet safe and comfortable without infringing on the family fun: 1. Don't put costumes on your pets unless they are used to it. Wearing clothing can make pets uncomfortable and even sick.
2. Candy is for humans and not for their furry friends. 3. Chocolate is toxic to animals. It can make them very sick.
Make sure that the "after Halloween" candy is put away so your pet can't get it--especially the chocolate. We hear from owners every year of pets they had to take to the emergency room because they managed to find the candy and eat it. Give them a pet treat instead. 4. If you know or suspect your pet has eaten some Halloween candy contact your veterinarian IMMEDIATELY.
Some candies, especially chocolate, can be life threatening. If you can't reach your veterinarian you can call...
