Learn About the Wrist Pillow

By Tom Nicholson

Most people who spend a lot of time in front of a keyboard and mouse eventually experience some sort of wrist pain, though it's not limited to just computer people - sometimes, it'll show up from overuse injuries from golf, or tennis. While wrist pain is usually a twinge that goes away on its own, they can degenerate to acute pain or numbness that can interfere with your life.

Here is the part where you must consult your doctor for proper treatment of your wrist pain, which can range from the RICE protocol to surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome. Did you know, however, that you can avoid the psychological and physical pain, not to mention the financial strain, which wrist pain can bring with a simple pillow for the wrist?

What It Is

Simply put, a wrist pillow is any soft, molded material that acts as pillow for your wrist to rest on while you are maneuvering your computer mouse. It can be bought in online sites and offline stores offering computer accessories, often at very low prices and as an attachment to the common mouse pad. Well, of course, you will often be made to choose between three boring colors - black, blue and gray - although you may have it personalized with your company logo.

If you're a bit short on cash, you can make a decent do-it-yourself alternative wrist pillow; even a rolled up towel will give you most of the benefits. The advantage of doing one for yourself is that it's customizable; you can make it to exactly the size you want or need, and in whatever colors you like. Plus, if you've got odd bits of yarn or fabric about, they can serve as the stuffing for the project.

What It Can Do for You

As inexpensive, easy to purchase/easy to make, and innocuous as a wrist support in the form of a small pillow is, you will enjoy many benefits from it. For one thing, your wrist will be protected from the repetitive stress injury brought by hours of pecking and clicking away on your computer. Since your wrist rests on soft gel, or other soft materials like cotton, it is angled in such a way as to minimize stress. In fact, a properly-made wrist pillow can relieve tension in this most important of body parts.

For another thing, its non-skid base can help in your computing. Just imagine how slower your work will be when you constantly seem to be playing a game of slip-and-slide with your mouse. And it may even help in improving your typing posture!

In addition to these immediate benefits, your wrist pillow will help ward off medical conditions. Carpal tunnel syndrome is becoming ever more prevalent, and more common in younger people, many of whom have been typing with poor form since grade school. Prevention is much less expensive and painful than physical therapy, and wrist pillows are a great (and affordable) method of preventing injury.

And did we mention the fact that treating these medical conditions involves a great deal of your time and money? Now, that is one good reason why you need a wrist pillow today.

How to Treat a Sore Wrist Effectively

By Tom Nicholson

Our wrists may be taken for granted when something like an apparently small sprain or injury occurs. This part of our body should not be overlooked, however, since we depend on it for nearly every aspect of our lives. Whether it's working on the computer or lifting up bags, our wrist are the primary tool. If you doubt this, consider that coaches tell their players it's "all in the wrist" to get the right spin on a ball.

If your wrist has become sore, the obvious importance of this body part should indicate that it needs immediate treatment. If ignored, the condition may get worst. Future quality of life may be affected when dealing with pain from a tender wrist. The simplest of tasks may become impossible since the wrist pain will be ever-present. Since it's not safe to take too many over-the-counter drugs, seeking medical help to manage or repair the source of pain is imperative.

With such importance, you must always treat a sore wrist before it gets worst for many reasons. For one thing, your quality of life will be affected with the pain associated with a tender wrist. You probably will not be able to perform the simplest of tasks since wrist pain will be a constant presence in your life. Since taking too many over-the-counter painkillers is not good for your health, you have to seek medical opinion on how best to make the pain go away safely.

RICE TREATMENT

The at home elements for treating a sore wrist are meant to work in conjunction with medical care. The purpose of RICE treatment is to relieve pain and promote healing, while avoiding a recurring incidence of the injury. These treatments may apply to injuries or arthritis pain.

Resting the sore wrist and modifying activities for at least 24-48 hours is most important during this time. Your wrist may be wrapped in a splint or sling. Modifying your activities to prevent stressing the wrist is important for the resting stage.

Ice and heat treatments may also help alleviate pain. Generally, you will use ice for an acute injury, and heat for a chronic condition. When using ice packs, limit use to 20 minutes per application.

Compression is wrapping the injury to provide stability. The bandaging should be applied so the area does not turn blue or become cold. The doctor may also elect to give a cortisone shot to provide steroids for the muscles to heal.

Elevating the wrist above the heart is also another good method for dealing with wrist pain. Use a sling during the day, and during the night, elevate with a pillow.

Keep in mind that the RICE treatment protocol is applicable for first aid and after-care situations. As soon as you feel that your injured wrist is not responding to the RICE treatment, you must seek medical advice at once.

Indeed, a sore wrist may not look like much to worry about today but you have to be very careful that tomorrow, it will be as good as new. After all, your life may very well depend on how well your wrist works with and for you.

Why Oprah's Show Is A Media Phenomenon

By Tania Gabrielle

Oprah Winfrey just announced that her long running "The Oprah Winfrey Show" will end in 2011.

Trying to explain her decision she said, 'It's the perfect number, the exact right time.' Interesting observation.

As it turns out the numbers at the beginning and end of her show ARE perfect. Not only do they activate her full blueprint, but the name of her show was amazingly powerful too.

She began 'The Oprah Winfrey Show' on September 8,'86. Immediately I noticed the number 86. It reduces to--/5 - the Media Number.

Additionally, the 8th of September directly activates two of the three most important numbers in her birth blueprint - her 29/11/2 Day of Birth and her 31/4 Life Purpose.

These SAME numbers are triggered by Oprah's Personal Year in'86 - a 20/2. That's because 2, 4 and 8 are the in the same trilogy.

So why is the her 20/2 in'86 so important for Oprah?

20/2 symbolizes relationships and when you're a talk show host, the relationship between host, guest and audience is the deal-breaker. It's a number of communication, diplomacy and peace. If anyone was able to communicate with her audience for decades it is Oprah Winfrey.

Her 29/11 Day of Birth shows she both needs and masters communication on all levels.

As I said, two of her three big numbers were activated when she began her incredible career as the top-rated talk-show host of all time.

So why is 2011 significant for Oprah?

Amazingly the third important number in her birth blueprint - her 97/16/7 Destiny - is triggered that year.

Oprah will be in a 16/7 Personal Year in 2011.

2011 also ties directly into her 29/11 Day of Birth. For Oprah this happens to be a wonderful personal cycle during which to end her show. In 2011 she'll have been at it for 25 years - even that number reduces to 7.

One of the symbolic meanings of a 7 personal cycle is rest and rejuvenation. If there's any number that represents a sabbatical it is this number.

So 2011 is a perfect time for Oprah to end her amazing career as talk-show host. Since the 16/7 cycle that year triggers her Destiny Number, she will most likely find a new passion to replace the old one.

Finally, here is a major key to Oprah's success.

A big advantage lies hidden in the name. In the ancient Chaldean system I use for current names, 'The Oprah Winfrey Show' adds up to--/5 - the Media Number. What better vibration for a show that's in the media 5 days a week, week after week, month after month, year after year.

Remember she began the show in'86 - the 86th year reduces to--/5 as well.

This name has been highly fortunate for the queen of day-time television.

All in all, Oprah Winfrey is very in touch with her numbers making her comment, 'It's the perfect number, the exact right time,' all the more true.

Knowing the meaning of your important birth numbers gives you so many advantages and reveals all the beautiful details about you, your Life Purpose and your Destiny.

How To Get Your Girlfriend Back-Crucial Steps To Take If You Want Her Back

By Jennifer Lynn

The breakup is only recent but you feel like the pain is not going to end. Everyone feels this way but almost immediately, you may keep thinking on how to get your girlfriend back. Research shows that 95% of the breakup is reversible but the timing of making up is very crucial. The most important thing you can do now is to give some time off for both. Get back on your feet so that you plan ahead on what to do next. Read on for the next few crucial steps in which you must follow.

Firstly, you have to take a long hard look at your appearance. Shape up your body and start doing some physical exercises like going to gym or swimming. Take things as if everything is reverts to normal. This is also a good time to change any bad habits that your ex dislikes. That does not mean that you change so drastically that you become another character altogether.

Appearance is the tell tale sign of how well you are doing. Like success, no one can tell how successful you are unless they do a full investigation. So, you need to show to your ex that you are taking care of yourself well. It also shows to your ex that attractive qualities you have that attracted her in the past.

Next, you must show all your friends that everything is business as usual. You are still the same person your ex girlfriend knew before the breakup. You need to remind her that your attractive qualities that she finds in you.

The objective is to make your ex notices what she is missing when she is not with you. She will be pleasantly surprised to find not a bitter person but a confident individual who has his life together. At this point, do not chase after her. Also, do not try to date other girls to make your ex jealous or angry. If she is only coming back to you on an emotional burst, the relationship will be brief.

At this time, you must prove that you can be her friend. So, be patient and remain friendly to her. Wait for her signal that she wants to give both of you a second chance. The wait can be torturous and feels like forever. What you are actually doing is putting her need first and gives her plenty of room to make an informed decision.

Whales Majestic Mammals Of The Ocean

By Anne Stark

Whales belong to their own family order which there are many species of Cetaceans and this order includes the whale, porpoises and dolphins. There are sixty six species of toothed species and there are only a few species of Baleen whales. Tooted species are predators that feed on squid and marine mammals by swallowing them whole. They also use echolocation to hunt and have one blow hole.

The Baleen whale on the other hand filters its food in the water by means of a comb like structure. The Baleen is by far bigger than the toothed whale is and this whale has two blow holes which are situated on the top of its head. The very largest mammal is the Blue whale although it lives in the ocean is considered to be the largest mammal on earth sometime exceeding 29 meters in length. Due to the creature size it has to eat 4 tons of krill a day and this species is threatened by man.

And the tiniest of the whale species is the dwarf sperm whale as this species only reaches lengths of around two to two and half meters in length. Whales fall under the category of mammals even though they are sea creatures. These creatures have a very high IQ and are also very large mammals.

It is essential for a whale to breathe air into their lungs and they are no different to land mammals in that respect and the way they do this is through their blow holes. These creatures are warm blooded so they feel pain and they are also capable of regulating their body temperature and the same as other mammals have a heart with four chambers. The calves suckle on their mothers.

The fastest swimmers are the killer whale and short fin pilot whale which swim as fast as forty eight kilometres per hour. Most ocean mammals are extremely active in the water and some even jump very high out of the water. You will also notice that these playful creatures surface their entire head out of the water and look around.

There are many red data species of which some are critically endangered and this is due to the intervention of man who hunts these majestic mammals and should hunting continue they will be the cause of these creatures extinction.

What's the Best Treatment for Body Acne?

By Julie M. Jackson

There aren't very many conditions as difficult as acne. If you yourself suffer from the condition, you constantly find yourself struggling over and over to find a cure. It's very annoying to see people walk around with perfectly clear skin while those annoying red bumps constantly persist. Having acne all over my face ruined my confidence for years.

My troubles with acne didn't stop at my face, either. As time went on, I began to get acne all over my body, in the most unsightly of places.

People don't often talk about body acne, because it's a bit less common and profitable than its big cousin facial acne. However, body acne has seriously detrimental consequences on one's self esteem, because it is so particularly unappealing to look at.

Since you're reading this I think it's safe to assume you know a little about the frustration of having body acne that I'm speaking of. I suppose that's enough dwelling on the negative aspects of it, so I'll just get to the point.

The truth of the matter is, very few people have body acne that is not manageable. As horrible as the condition is, there are steps you can take to vastly improve or even rid yourself of the unsightly blemishes. Still, you have to be careful with what you use to cure your body acne. There are many rip off products out there that are either dangerous to use or do not work as well as they claim.

Fortunately there are still some companies that care about helping acne sufferers more than they do gaining regular customers. There are some products out there that can help heal your skin, and prevent any further breakouts. Those annoying acne scars will finally have time to fade away for good!

This might sound obvious, but it doesn't take a collection of different products and supplements to keep clear skin. Water is perhaps the most important ingredient for clear skin, accompanied by some fresh fruits, vegetables, and light physical activity. General health is really important in our looks, and some minor changes to your diet and daily activities can have your skin looking healthy and radiant in no time.

However, in the meantime it's understandable that you might need a little something extra to stop those breakouts in their tracks. It's important to find a safe and effective acne solution that you can use regularly without disrupting you skin's natural cycle, and the best body acne treatment for you will be just that.

Discover Secret Freemasonry Members You Never Knew

By Simon Gray

There has been speculation over the years that Shakespeare was a creator of Freemasonry. This is being based on two major plays of Shakespeare being the Love?s Labors Lost and the Tempest. It is purported that these two plays are symbolic to Masonic values. Then there are others that further support this theory by referring to MacBeth.

MacBeth is said to be the story of the horrific murder of Hiram Abiff who is said to be the main figure in the Masonic ritual. Hiram Abiff was one of the original three Grand Masters during the early inception of this organization. The story about Hiram Biff is intriguing.

The legend has it that during the construction of Kings Solomon?s temple that Abiff promised his architects that he would tell them all of the secrets of the Master Mason once the temple was completed. Three of the architects did not want to wait and tried to force the secrets out of Abiff to no avail. So these three workers ended up killing Abiff. Now apparently once a Mason has reached the third degree level he must carry out a mock ritual killing as it took place regarding Abiff.

You may have noticed something consistent in what we have said so far. This is in reference to the number three. There were ? 3 Grand Masters 3 architects who committed the murder 33 degrees or levels within the organization 3 Principal Officers 3 Symbolic steps 3 Obligations 3 lights upon the alter 3 pillars that support the Lodge 3 knocks to be allowed into the Lodge 3 knocks to call the members to order

It is believed that the whole Mason?s organization was and still is based on alchemy.

So getting back to MacBeth and reading between the lines determining if Shakesphere was truly a Mason take a look at the following interesting facts.

The play depicts? 3 witches -spoke the words Fair is foul, foul is fair. Hecate has 3 roles

As the play, goes on scholars have made many interpretations regarding its inference to Masonry although extremely complex, it leaves one open to wondering.

Alchemy and the Masons share in common the perception of positives and negatives as being common elements. The Grand Commander Albert Pike summed up the overview of these elements by stating that Satan was a force created for good, which may serve evil. The beliefs go on to the point where it indicates that man is free to do good or evil. This is where the connotation in MacBeth by the witches is said to equate with the belief of the Masons. Thus just another similarity that leads some to believe that the play is based on certain characteristics of the Masons.

It is most difficult to understand the parallels here without first having MacBeth and understanding the play. If those that believe that Shakesphere was indeed at least even a Mason of no standing then MacBeth does give an in-depth in sight to the organization, which keeps itself shrouded in secrecy. On the other hand for those that do not believe there is any correlation between MacBeth and the Masons they still must admit there is a lot of speculation based on the coincidental.

The Keys to Prospecting Success

By Baxter Gomez

Proactive prospecting can be much like physically exercising regularly. It's something that you know is good for you and will produce predictable positive results, yet is something that most sales people always seem to avoid!

The key word is commitment. Commit to setting an appointment with yourself for one or two hours each day. Start with utilizing your resources such as your sphere of influence. It is easy to say to ourselves, "Well, I have a lot to do today so I'll start prospecting tomorrow or next week". Prospecting not only requires commitment but discipline as well. You are important so make that daily appointment with yourself just as you would will any potentially important customer or client.

Have a specific message. Everyone needs to hear the latest news of markets conditions in your area. It's likely that they have some misinformation and you can become the expert to help them get a more accurate picture.

Make as many contacts as possible. Before prospecting, you should always take the time to properly define your target market, and try to reach as many of those people as possible.

Before you start prospecting, gather a list of names so you don't spend valuable time you are using for prospecting. Get an idea of how many customers you plan to call in your allotted hour or two and have at least a one month supply of names.

Remember you have set aside some time for prospecting. Work in an area without interruption. Don't answer calls or schedule meetings during this time. As you start going through your calls, you will find each call will become easier and easier. Before you know it, you will feel like a pro. You will learn as you go and practice makes perfection.

When calling, decide on a time slot and try to stick with it. Maybe 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM, 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM or 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM. There will be customers that seem impossible to get a hold of. You will have to set aside another time of day and try to call those customers. We are all creatures of habit (Hint). They are probably in a routine between a certain timeframe, so you need to try and catch them at a different time or different day.

Did you know that most success is made after the fifth call? Most sales people give up after the first call. Persistence is your best virtue.

How To Flirt Effectively Using Boring Questions

By Warren Peace

I'm sure you've heard that you should avoid "ordinary boring conversational topics" when flirting. Experts will tell you that it's a sure way to make the girl yawn. And that's no way to get her to remember you after you leave.

This is wrong in my view. It's actually probably more weird to a girl if you don't ever get around to asking about mundane aspects of her life.

What are the so-called "boring questions"?

What do you do?

What's your major?

Have any children?

Do you live around here?

While it is possible to bore a girl to tears if you constantly barrage her with an inquisition, that doesn't mean you can't ask some of these questions.

Here's the key principle:

ORDINARY QUESTION FLIRTING PRINCIPLE: When you ask an "ordinary question", make sure you PLAY with her response.

I will often, very early in the conversation, ask a woman what she does for a living, or, ifshe's in school, I'll ask her what she's studying.

But after I get a response from her, I get playful with her response.

Here's an example:

If she says she's studying radiology, I'll say "Oh, good, so if I were to break my leg right now, you'd totally help me out. You probably have X-ray equipment right in your backpack, right?"

She laughs. She feels like you value her for something other than her looks. And you frame the interaction as one of her being ready to SERVE you in some way.

Don't worry about every guy using this line after reading this article either. Women never get tired of this kind of playful role-playing.

Try it. The next time you're talking with an attractive woman you've just met, give it a shot. And don't restrict yourself just to women you're attracted to.

I even use it with little old ladies. "My goodness, I can tell, if you were my Grandma, you would totally bake me cookies every day, even though my mommy told you not to." They all love it!

The Best Book Summary Websites Around

By Welton Hong

Working in a business organization can be hard and nerve-racking. While attempting to read business based books, there is really not adequate time in your day to learn, and absorb all the material inside the book. There's a much less complicated way to acquire the information from business book: by using business book summaries .

Utilizing business book summaries could significantly cut the time it can take to read through a whole business book. Interpreting the whole entire article can take up a great deal of your time. And as you know, time is valuable. You don't have to take up more of that precious time by reading all the extra fluff that can be found in business books. Using business book summaries will cut your reading time by getting to the point and by highlighting the important points for you. You'll have all of the important information you need in a much shorter period of time.

There are a lot of summary websites out there. Here are few of them. Gobrevity.com is mainly targeted for small business owner. The summaries are to the point and very brief for busy business owners. BusinessBookReview.com provides very detailed summaries. The content might be a bit heavy for those who just want the quick facts. BizSum.com provides one of the cheaper summaries. However, the summaries are not that well put together.

AudioTech.com is good at summarizing and giving great audio, but the site is stuck in the past generation. Summaries.com is the cheapest book summary website at a starting price of $12/four weeks. It delivers a lot of information but is not especially well written. While the mentioned websites might suffice, there are better options out there. The best two business book summary websites are given below.

One site that offers up to 5,000+ business book summaries is getAbstract.com. The cost may seem pretty high at $179/6 months. Considering that amount of business book summaries available, these costs are quite reasonable. There are many formats that the data comes in. The choices are PDF,Kindle,MP3,PDA, and others. Consider getAbstract as the Netflix of the business book world. The summaries are short, to the point, and very professional.

Another website that specializes in business book summaries is Summary.com (Soundview Executive Book Summaries). This website is probably the best business book summaries website around. They have three different services. They have the Online Service, $99, Premium Online, $199, and Premium Audio for $299. You can also purchase one summary at a time. This website is the most recommended business book summaries websites available.

A Room? How About a Whole Vacation Home

By Mandy Morris

Enjoy all the comforts of home on your next family vacation. Stay in a vacation rental home or cabin instead of a hotel. Vacation rental homes are in every destination: your favorite river, near Disneyland and Disney World, on Lake Tahoe, the beaches of Hawaii and beyond. These properties offer all the amenities to make them your second home, but the amenities aren't the whole story: the cost-savings can be incredible.

More space to relax - A 400 square foot hotel room vs. a 2,500 square foot home...any more questions? That extra space equals more relaxation while traveling with family and friends. A vacation rental is a wonderful alternative to a hotel room. On a family vacation, everyone just needs their space. The kids need to play, mom and dad need to wind down and relax, and your guests certainly need their own room (not a creaky, uncomfortable rollaway bed right in the middle of everything). Not even a fancy end suite in a hotel can provide the space you'll find in a vacation rental - not to mention the $3000 per night you'll spend for that end suite. The kitchens alone in most vacation rentals, beach homes, ski chalets and condos are larger than even a 5-star hotel room.

Hotels can be lovely; there is no doubt about that. And. Hotels come with their own price tag, in dollars and otherwise. There is the extra money you'll spend eating out. Taking taxies from location to location. Spending days out shopping and paying for attractions because the room is too small to relax in (the average hotel room is 400 square feet). Packing like Paris Hilton because laundry service is exorbitantly expensive (don't forget the airlines' new baggage fee)s. Compare that to 2500 square feet all to yourself and your family. A living room. Separate bedrooms. Fully stocked kitchen (which alone is the size of the hotel room). Washer and dryer at your disposal. Space. To. Relax.

Peace and quiet - It's 7:30am...knock, knock, knock "Housekeeping, housekeeping!" followed by the key in the door. Does this sound familiar? Most hotels rooms are surrounded by other rooms with other people. While sleep is important on vacation, no hotel I've ever stayed in has a curfew. "Bang, boom, thump," sound familiar? We all know the irritation of noisy neighbors in the room next door or up above yours. A vacation home is as quiet as you make it or as loud as you want it to be. It's your choice. Vacation homes come with space around them and insulation to buffer you from the outside world when it's your time to rest and relax.

Have a party and where does everyone end up? All together now: THE KITCHEN! The most important part of any home, it's where home cooked meals are created and eaten. We can't say enough about the kitchen. From a "these are the moments life is made of" perspective, having your own kitchen on vacation is priceless. From a hard cash perspective, having your own kitchen on vacation can save you bundles. Eat out two nights instead of every night. Pack picnic lunches instead of dining out. Enjoy breakfast in bed, and not for those exorbitant room service rates. Put leftovers away to enjoy the next day. That extra money? Sock it away and save it. Or spend it on one more day of lift tickets, Sea Doo rentals, a Mickey hat, or one last fabulous meal at a fabulous restaurant.

Have it your way - No more planning around the hotel shuttle, no more spending premium rates for taxi rides (or the tips)...you can make your own schedule in a vacation rental. Need some ice, board games, movies, books, a hot tub, pool, WIFI or how about a backyard? You are in luck. Booking a vacation home is your choice and so are the cool amenities that come with it at no extra charge. Most all amenities that come with vacation homes and cabins are included at the time of booking and are FREE!

Did you actually know that most of the English words we know today were derived from French? However, most people want to learn the language to progress.

Then, you can start learning at the comfort of your home. Many people are now learning the language online. It's as effective as a live session with an actual tutor.

If you are concern about the future of your kids, one of the best things that you can do is enroll them to an online program that will help them learn French. These programs are arranged in a systematic order and you can actually get one which is intended for elementary students. Your children can start to learn elementary French inside your house whenever it is convenient for them.

A Learn Elementary French audio or video usually uses the same techniques that elementary schools use to train children. It employs songs and rhymes as well to help learners remember every lesson taught. This is the level of learning where they will be taught to use phrases, parts of speech and so on.

It is true, however, that there are elementary schools that offer French lessons. Some schools have them as part of their curriculum while some have them as special courses.

Tips For Your Next Job Interview

By D.J. Verret, MD

Study Up On Your Employer And Interviewer. One of the most irritating things as an employer is having someone come into my office who does not know my background or what is offered in my office. Do your homework before any interview. This is important for two reasons. First, you want to know if the business is a good fit for you. Second, you want to know as much about the person and place where you are interviewing as they know about you. The internet is a great source of information. Visit the company's web site. If you know the name of the person who is interviewing you, search for them. Determine if they have written any books, articles, or book chapters which can give an insight into their interests. Everyone likes to talk about themselves. If you can get lucky and get an insight into the personal life of your interviewer, talking about their interests can be a great way to leave a positive impression. At a minimum, at least know the basics about the company you are asking for a job from.

Don't Pad Your Resume. If a prospective employer finds that you have padded your resume with experience or training which you do not have, that will lead to an immediate filing in the big round filing cabinet. By the same token, be sure to include all of your strengths in your resume. It is your time to convince your employer that you are the one to choose. It should also be about one page in length unless you have some outstanding information to pass along. The second and third pages are not likely to ever be seen.

Dress For Success! There is no such thing as being overdressed for an interview. While I don't suggest wearing a tuxedo for an interview, I would suggest wearing your best coat and tie. Be sure to shine your shoes and press your shirt, too. Let's say that you are interviewing for a job where the usual dress is blue jeans and polo shirts - still wear a coat and tie. A prospective employer will not think anything if you overdress. If you underdress, they will immediately be turned off.

Moderation is always crucial. When considering dress, perfume, cologne, makeup, or jewelry, be sure to think subtle. In most cases, I would argue that perfume and cologne are not warranted at all. Some people are allergic to certain scents and coming in with a cologne that your interviewer is allergic to can be extremely detrimental.

Comb your hair and cut your nails. Hair and nails are often overlooked but do tell a lot about you. Be sure to have them neat and presentable for your interview. You might want to visit a barber or hair stylist shortly before an interview - with enough time for your hair to grow out if the stylist does a bad job though.

Cheap Yoga Mats For Sale

By Tammy Lipton

The benefits of yoga stand without question. People all across the world practice yoga as a completely safe and relaxed way to stay focused and healthy not only in body but in mind as well. Plus, it's not too expensive to get into. You really only need a comfortable outfit, a yoga mat, and an instructor to get started. There is a lot to look at when shopping for yoga equipment, just make sure you pay attention to the prices and features. And don't be afraid to check out inexpensive, or cheap yoga mats, especially if you're a beginner.

Many places sell yoga mats with fancy names or they're made out of some futuristic material that claims to make your yoga practice more fulfilling. But cheap yoga mats are not just a cheap sheet of rubber. They will do the same thing that expensive, brand name yoga mats do: give you a soft cushion against a hard floor.

You may find that some brand new yoga mats can be over eighty dollars. You can find these at trendy health shops and boutiques and may even have designs on them. They come with nice carrying bags, and with shoulder straps and pockets to hold your small items in while you are practicing. But with the price of cheap yoga mats under $20, you may be able to skimp on all those unnecessary features.

One of the biggest issues with yoga is being comfortable. Sometimes your body is in pretty awkward positions, and your elbows or knees could end up exerting pressure on the hard floor. This is why you need a good quality and cheap yoga mat. Check to make sure these mats are made of a 6mm PVC foam. This thickness is optimum and will make your routines more comfortable. It is also the average thickness of more expensive models.

Many cutting-edge materials used in these mats are much cheaper for a manufacturer to process, therefore bringing the price down. Another benefit to look for is how the mat performs once you have laid it down. Are the corners obedient and stay flat or do they want to roll back up? Or does the mat stay still during the whole routine, or does it seem to have a mind of its own? It is possible for you to find some that work just fine if you look around.

Cheap yoga mats are just as they sound, and that may be perfect for you. if you have just started practicing yoga, you might find that putting the money on an expensive mat is not worth it at the start, because it does the same thing as an inexpensive one. No matter how much you spend on a yoga mat, it will eventually wear out. It all depends on how often you use your mat and how you care for it. Make sure you purchase a yoga mat that will allow you practice comfortably and easily.

About the Author:

If you are just starting to get into a yoga routine you may be a little lost when it comes to which mat to buy. But do not be put off by cheap yoga mats -- they can be just as durable as ones that cost much more.

Are You Motivated Enough To Succeed?

By Cydne Buckley

What does the waking up in the morning mean to you? Another day with no idea of of where your going or how your going to change your life. Do you think of ways to succeed?

You have to have motivation. I do not mean from a motivational speaker. Most motivational speaker are great and you can learn many different things from them. Also, you can read books on the subject. However, they cannot be by you side all the time. So motivation has to come from you. What keeps the fire burning long after they have left the building?

Some trainers say you have to set goals and that is a good place to start.

This is where doubt comes in as we start question whether we are doing it right or not. Are they too big or too small? Are these goals impossible. Are they beyond our dreams? College for the kids, vacations, new home, new car, work from home, be my own boss,etc.

For me the main goal is money and plenty of it. You see with money you can achieve all your goals, because you need money to have them. Nobody ever became very wealthy working for someone else.The logical way is to start your own home based business, but you cannot quit your job, because you probably have a family to support. The best way is to start part time.

The three biggest reasons why people fail in any business be it Network Marketing or conventional is one: lack of money to get started, two: motivation and three: procrastination. This is why your motivation has to be so strong and it has to come from within you. You have to reach down and pull that desire up to the front and make it all you think about. Are you motivated enough for success?

Committed to your success,

What Is The Real Meaning Of The Law Of Abundance?

By Kim McMillan

The law of abundance is not complicated in nature. The synopsis if you will is to simply believe in yourself and believe that you do deserve the good things in life. These things include wealth, happiness and love, and the road to them is driven by positive thinking. For generations people have abided by this simple but crucial law and have enjoyed the fruits of their thinking patterns.

One of the best things about the law of abundance is that there is nothing about it that's difficult. You may not realize it, but everything that you have and all that you are is a result of what you have been thinking throughout previous years. The things you don't have are also the result of some type of belief you possess as well as a belief you lack.

Tomorrow when you get out of bed the law of abundance is automatically at work. Failing to take advantage of the 'powers that be' in your life is the biggest problem.

You can have all that you have ever dreamed of by simply taking a look at what you already have. When you learn to appreciate what you got, only then can things begin to multiply.

It's common sense. If you are naturally a pessimistic person, thinking positively about life may seem like a challenge. In reality, all you are doing is breaking a bad habit. Again, taking advantage of the law of abundance doesn't have to be difficult.

When you awake each day, you have the ability to create multiple opportunities for happiness and wealth. When you greet the day in a foul mood however you are setting yourself up to experience disappointment and even failure. If you need some help along the way, try posting notes around the house about how successful and lucky you truly are.

There is so much for you to obtain if you will just open yourself up to the law of abundance. Too often people derail their own happiness by not taking full advantage of the law. Take control of your thoughts and make the decision to live with a different mindset.

Each time one of those negative thoughts creep into your mind, turn it around into something that will work for you. Some people find it beneficial to feed off their own negative thoughts. Doing this might be a much simpler way to make the law of abundance work out for you, especially if you are naturally pessimistic.

If you are prone to automatically assuming that you are fat, think to yourself, 'I am fit and thin'. Happiness will begin to abundantly flow into your life and you will be able to have whatever you want because positive energy is contagious.

Are you constantly worrying about money thinking you never have enough? You need to change that attitude to one that says you have all you want and need plus some! You will suddenly see abundance flowing in your life.

You must remember that making the law of abundance a force in your life is completely possible. You will be amazed at how well the power will work in your life once you decide to appreciate the things in your life currently. You will think something magical has come your way!

The Reasons I Made A Decision To Make Use Of My LCD HDTV

By Jeff Hardne

If you are planning to buy a modern TV set, there simply hasn't been a better moment in time to make use of high value equipment that should last for years at low prices. In emergent technology, television also improves incredibly rapidly, the latest HD Television broadcasting format is more standardized thus the prices may reduce but not too much.

What are our thoughts on LCD HDTVs? Just why are they considered special, and what features do you need to check for when purchasing one?

It was a natural decision to adapt LCD technologies to HDTV format after LCD monitors have been used with computers for several years now. These new LCD screens are very useful compared to the old projection TV's and CRT's because of their thinner and lighter state. They can be used in rooms where a TV their size would have not been possible.

The best advantage of having a LCD screen is that one can mount them on the walls by using specific clamps that hold them tight and safe on the wall, helping you save a lot of space. In order to take advantage of the HDTV's eye pleasing images, you will need to program your set.

It is two technologies that were meant for each other. HDTV allows television broadcasting to be sent in a signal that is very dense with digital information about both the video and sound. Compared to the former analog method of TV broadcasts, this is a huge advancement.

In fact, the HDTV signal can carry up to ten times as much screen resolution information as an old analog signal. For a complete viewing experience, the combination of rich resolution and a LCD screen that displays the sharpest picture available, this set provides consumers exactly what they are looking for.

When you are purchasing a LCD TV, you need to make sure that it is equipped with a HDTV tuner or that it is "HDTV Ready" so that your cable or satellite can be hooked up to allow you to receive HDTV programming.

Once you view television programming with the combined technologies of HDTV and a LCD monitor, you will wonder how you managed without it all this time.

About the Author:

One of the hottest and best LCD HD television's to purchase is the Samsung UN46B6000. This 46-inch LED flat panel has the best quality picture at the cheapest cost too. You could understand more on the UN46B6000 and the way to receive your great markdown here.

The Important Facts about the Heated Blanket

By Jan Bergman

As winter approaches, the idea of using a heated throw becomes more appealing to most people. Each year, the technology with these seems to improve and the prices go down, giving people all the more reason to buy one.

There's a lot of misinformation out there about heated blankets, and people are often mistaken about the different features. This article will give you an unbiased look into the world of electric blankets, as we'll examine both angles.

First of all, there's the very obvious fact that this keeps you warm at night. Not only does it keep you warm, though, but it helps you to save money on the heating bill. Many owners of electric blankets simply turn their heat down at night when their electric blankets are in use.

Married couples really enjoy warming blankets with dual controls. These split the blanket in half, allowing each half to warm up to its own respective temperature. This has proven to be ideal for those couples who quarrel over blanket warmth.

Many people also enjoy the timer settings that now come with heated blankets. Too many people forget to turn their blankets off when they leave for the day, but built in timers easily resolve the issue now.

On the other side of the issue, there are a few gripes that owners have with heated blankets. For a start, a large percentage of electric blankets eventually end up breaking. Repair is costly to the point where people are simply better off buying a new one.

There are others who still worry about safety issues when it comes to heated blankets. Sometimes, they've been known to get so hot that they may burn. They've even been known to cause the occasional fire.

These are the major points of praise and concern when it comes to electric blankets. They're very popular sellers with good reason, but as you can see, there's still room for improvement.

The Five Easy Ways To Meditate

By Trevor Johnson

There are many ways to meditate and several ways that you need not meditate. The easy ways to meditate are as follows. You should always make sure you are in a relaxed room before you meditate and make sure that no one is going to be bothering you.

The most popular way to meditate is the breathing method and when you want to do this you should be alone in a room and sit or lay with your eyes closed. You should take at least ten breaths in and out within a few minutes time. Sometimes it does help if you can hold each breath in for about a second or two.

Many people will use a CD if they are looking for an easy way to meditate because this can be put into a player and then they can lay down and relax all their muscles and almost go to a different place of piece and quiet.

When listening to a CD (like all meditation) you should make sure that you are not going to be disturbed. Most of the Cd's will last only a sort thirty or sixty minutes. Although some of them can last a little longer depending on what type you get.

You can use the walking meditation. This does not allow you to get away from the everyday hassle and bustle, but it will allow you to get out in some fresh air and breath more freely. This is ideal when going to the park because it is not that hard to shut everything out and just relax.

No matter where you meditate, try to make sure it is a comfortable place that your body is use to and that you can be completely comfortable no matter if you are standing up or laying down. Personally I think meditation can be easier if you are laying down as opposed to sitting down. This is up to you depending on your personally relaxation needs.

Check out this really easy way to meditate: just put on your headphones and press 'play' and you can begin meditating now!.

2012: Predicting The End?

By Jade Williams

I just needed to tell you that James M.Sayer has just released a new 2012 end of days package and membership that reveals the truth about the year 2012.

Now before you suspect this date doesn't mean anything. Every major faith, minor religions you have never heard of, non-religious spiritualists, and even Atheists and Agnostics agree in 2012 something will happen.

There are thousands of people around the world sensing this huge event is coming. But What will happen?

It was forecast by our ancient ancestors the Maya, scientist, spiritual Leaders, NASA and other Governments around the planet that 2012 enigma will be a very major year For You and all of Humanity.

Getting this info is important

If you suspect this is just a bunch of hype then that's completely fine. But it is better to educate yourself about this and find out the genuine meaning Of the 2012 enigma before you rule this out as conspiracy theory or a made up date for the entertainment industry... Require the truth?

The world around you is in turmoil at the moment. People are starving, the economy is slowly declining, there are threats of war, new sicknesses and the weather has been more intense then it has been in many years.

Be in the know about 2012 and prepare yourself for every possible situation that could occur. If nothing happens, great! But what if it does and this was your caution to prepare?

These are, unfortunately, uncertain times, and what is seen here is a chance to anticipate what really the Mayans had seen in their visions. And why did the calendar suddenly stop predicting in December 2012?

This is an opportunity to go back in time and experience what the Mayan ancestors had seen what will happen in 2012. We know now that something will happen in the months before this crucial date, and it is up to everybody to be prepared and survive.

What you'll find out from this guide can prepare you for any potential dangers. Additionally, it provides good insights as to what is the best place to be located in case something disastrous may occur.

Now I don't say this date is all problems. James explains there is light at the end of the tunnel that doesn't end in a disaster. But it's up to you to become a part of that story line.

In the end (no pun intended), it is you who will decide what is best when considering your own well-being for you, and your friends and family.

"His Legs Burnt Off In An Unforgivable Assault Was The Best Thing To Happen To Biographer Ian Colquhoun"

By Stephen Richards

Losing a finger or toe is not a very nice experience, but to lose both legs and wake up in a hospital bed, emerging from a seven-week coma and lucky to be alive is devastation! This is what happened to 29 year old Ian Colquhoun, now a very talented writer and historian who says after being horrifically injured in a brutal, unprovoked and gruesome attack, "Losing my legs is the best thing to have happened to me."

Ian was callously set on fire, which resulted in just about three-quarters of his body being burnt. Being close to death three times caused many news reports to go out over the web, which resulted in many people sending their prayers and get-well wishes for Ian to pull from death's door.

Ian says, "The night I lost my legs started out as any other. I was living in Dundalk, in the Irish Republic. I'd moved there for a new career as a warehouseman. I met a girl there and after ten days of going out with her we went to a party not far from the house I shared with work colleagues. At the party I had a few drinks and fell asleep on the settee. All I remember was waking up and seeing some strange men looting the room. I didn't have time to take in how many of them were there. Within seconds, one of them swung a pick-axe handle at me. I must have passed out because my last memory is of seeing bright lights - then nothing! Seven weeks later I awoke from a coma."

The road to recovery has been a long personal battle where Ian even considered suicide a number of times. Having little prospect of working in a 'normal' 9-5 job made Ian consider other occupations. He had an interest in military history since a child and decided to embark on a writing career. Although he had no experience of writing, he penned two books which were accepted for publication. Furthering his interests even more, Ian took up an opportunity to become a movie stuntman. He would later find that his loss of limbs would actually be an advantage to some of the roles he was offered to play. Sadly the Irish authorities did not deem his circumstances strong enough to warrant a compensation payout, and no one has been brought to justice for the attack.

Ian's attackers torched the room and fled, leaving warehouseman Ian unconscious and lying on the smouldering and highly inflammable couch. Now years later he has miraculously transformed his life. In all he spent nearly a year in hospital following the incident, and he was wheelchair-bound for two and a half years before eventually being able to wear artificial legs. That is when everything changed. It spurred him on to walk again. He still needed operations to save his knee. And if it couldn't be saved, he'd be in a wheelchair for life!

Ian's autobiography "Burnt", which tells of his ordeal, was given the accolade of being praised as 'well written' when he was a guest on a UK daytime TV show ... The Richard & Judy Show. Not wanting to sit around and feel sorry for himself, Ian applied himself to being coached as a stuntman and went on to appear in the Brook Lapping Productions big screen film 'Ocean of Fear'. The role Ian played was that of one of the sailors on a US navy cruiser that was sunk in Guam in'45. The film of the warship USS Indianapolis tells of how 900 men were left floating in shark-infested waters with no lifeboats, food or water, after torpedoes sunk their warship during World War II.

Recalling the first time he was told that he had lost his legs Ian says, "I couldn't accept what they were saying! I threw back the sheets as I could still feel my toes, but unbelievably my legs were gone! I looked on with disbelief, as I looked in more detail I could see my torso was all charred and sure enough ... my legs were off! I was shattered; my whole life was finished, over! Life wasn't worth living, what had I to live for? I lay there in total desolation. Amazingly, though, now years later from that dreadful experience I see losing my legs as a blessing in disguise, it propelled me into a new life. Being parted from my legs is the greatest thing to have happened to me, and it made me into a more complete person than I have ever been."

Life for Ian is more exciting than it ever was before, and he wants to let other amputees know through his book "Burnt" that life does not end after amputation.

writer, historian and double leg amputee Ian Colquhoun shows how amputation is not the end of your life. Read his sensationalstory here in his book "Burnt".

What Exactly Is Mental Telepathy?

By Rachel Jordan

Most people do not really understand the term 'mental telepathy'. The definition of mental telepathy implies that two people are able to share their thoughts with each other without the intervention of the five senses. Nevertheless mental telepathy can involve a range of varied communication ranging from trying to watch somebody to trying to read someone's mind. The science of telepathy has many facets to it which can range from utterly simple to highly evolved. The aim of this article is to delve into the various forms of mental telepathy

KINESICS COMMUNICATION:

Kinesics, or non-verbal communication, occurs whenever two people communicate without speaking, using their eyes, body language, and facial expressions instead. This can range from simple messages like 'go away' to entire conversations. Any parent who has tried to communicate something to their spouse that they don't want their children to hear has experienced this. Non-verbal communication is achieved easiest and most accurately between people who know each other well"siblings, parents and children, husbands and wives, and close friends.

Most people do not regard this form of communication as mental telepathy since here communication is through senses and not just with sounds. Theoretically, this argument holds good. However, we cannot disregard the role of mental telepathy here. The very observation that this kind of non verbal communication is most effective in people who are intimate with each other or know each other well tells us that the minds of these people are more in synch with each other. However, skeptics may argue that this communication is merely effective because people who know each other well understand each other's body language well or have previously developed a mode of non verbal communication.

EMOTIONAL TELEPATHY:

When you can understand and perceive the emotional state of the other person, then this ability is known as empathy. Many people can do this well and many cant because the ability to put your self in somebody else's shoes is not inherent. However one can develop empathy with preparation and observation. This fact can be seen in actors who can not only emulate the emotional states of others but also enhance their empathy so much that they can laugh and cry exactly like the other person.

'Sympathetic pain'"feeling another person's pain as if it were your own is something expectant fathers mention, some claiming they can feel the mother's labor pains at the same time she is experiencing them. If someone close to you is experiencing an overwhelming emotion, you may feel an echo of the same emotion inside you, and mothers often describe this uneasy feeling when their child has been injured. The phenomena of long distance empathy, where a person suddenly feels that someone close to them is in danger, even though they are not near the person at the time is common in other relationships, as well.

There are some skeptics and psychologists who scoff at these kind of incidents and call them the work of an overactive brain. In certain cases they may have a point because we can see the injury and the hurt. However in cases of long distance empathy where a person doesn't even know that his loved one is injured or hurt, then they don't have an explanation about why a person who cannot even see the other person can feel the pain.

SYMBOL AND OBJECT PROJECTION:

This is the thought transference of concrete symbols and objects between two minds. Mental telepathy at this level must by necessity move beyond the regular five senses, and often requires a designated sender and receiver, intense concentration, training, and practice.

It is easier to communicate through thought alone if it is a simple symbol or object than more complex thoughts. A color may be easier to convey than an animal or a general shape easier to communicate than a person's name.

Zener cards often used in mental telepathy test are an example of this principle. Simple, concrete black-and-white symbols (a circle, square, star, plus sign, and three wavy lines), gives even a random guess a 20% chance of being right. On the other hand, a shared, known, limited set of concrete symbols may increase the coordination of the thoughts between sender and receiver. A success rate of 50% or higher (which have happened) can not be explained away by simple statistics, but may indicate a level of mental telepathy, instead.

ABSTRACT CONCEPTS:

This level of mental telepathy involves more advanced abstract concepts than shapes and colors. Here people communicate ideas, values and actions, which is quite tough the success rate is quite low. Telepaths seldom achieve this level and the ones who do are pretty rare.

Some animals appear to communicate, and science is not able to explain how. Telepathy shouldn't be ruled out. At this level, such animals would be using abstract concepts, albeit very basic concepts. Due to the nature of animal brains lacking prefrontal lobes, such ideas would probably not go beyond simplistic impulses like 'hungry', 'thirsty', 'horny', or 'danger!'

Some people feel that initially in the olden days man had the power of telepathy, which declined as language and man, evolved. Assuming this is true, and then right research can show us the right way to rediscover this lost skill.

If enough people can develop these powers, theoretically all humans in the future could use mental telepathy to communicate, according to some scientific beliefs.

All Reality Is Merely The Power Of Mind

By William J Stevens

A commercial for the United Negro College Fund which aired frequently in the'80s used the slogan 'the mind is a terrible thing to waste'. We're not talking about college educations here today, but this is a slogan which is absolutely true. Your mind has lot more power than you might think; and the power of the mind is indeed a terrible thing to waste. When you can access the power your mind contains, you can use it to change the world around you for the better.

Even if you haven't seen the film or read the book, it's all but certain that you know of the book The Secret or about the law of attraction, the most important idea of the book and film. The idea is that when you focus your mind on something, it attracts it to you. You don't even have to be expending mental energy on this goal consciously in order for this effect to work.

One prime example of the efficacy of this idea is what is called the placebo effect. This is named for the clinical trials which use placebos for the control group while giving the actual medication to the other. Both groups think they're getting the medication, so both often believe them to be experiencing the effects that have been described to them.

All of us have experienced something like this in our own lives. We all have those days where we wake up thinking that this is going to be a bad day - and in fact, these days usually are. This is the power of the mind at work.

The scientific evidence is starting to point towards the idea that there is a scientific basis for the power of the mind as well. One which is particularly intriguing is that matter exists only when there is an observer there to describe it (or rather, matter may be in one of several possible states until it is observed - or all of them at once). What this means is that human beings may be able to exert much more influence on their surroundings than has been previously thought.

It is thought by some scientists that many of the phenomena we have always thought of as supernatural (such as remote viewing, telepathy and the like) are actually perfectly natural and explainable phenomena, though science may be a few years away from understanding the precise mechanisms behind them.

You may not have really given it any thought until now, but the power of the mind is something which you can put to work to make positive change in your own life. Wouldn't you want to learn how to work with the universe to get what you want using your own thoughts? There are a few techniques which can help you to do just that; keep reading to learn more about these methods.

One important thing to keep in mind is that it is far easier to focus your mind to achieve a specific goal rather than a general one. If you'd like to become financially well off, you need to focus on a specific dollar amount rather than trying to focus on being wealthy in general. This makes it far easier for your mind to focus on this objective.

Many people already know about the power of the mind and use it every day to make their goals a reality. They are able to decide on a specific goal and put all of their mind power towards this objective - and this is exactly how some of the world's most successful people have managed to become who they are today. It's not difficult to do, though learning to focus your mind on your goal does take a little metal training.

By learning to control the power of the mind, you can gain the ability to influence the world around you and achieve just about anything you'd like. Suppose that you want a new home. You spend a lot of time thinking about it in great detail, going so far as to visualize how you'll cultivate the back yard and the colors you'll paint every room in the house. You begin putting all of your energy towards this goal, taking steps like angling for a promotion so you can make the money you need to purchase this new home, start thinking about how you'll do the work necessary to set things up exactly the way you'd like and even researching how to get the best possible mortgage.

After you've put your effort towards it, your dream starts coming true - the house goes up for sale, you are able to secure the mortgage, your offer is accepted and everything goes fine. It's all because you've been putting your thoughts and your energy into achieving your goal; this is what makes it happen for you.

This is something that any of us has the ability to do. When you learn to tap into the power of the mind, you can use it to achieve nearly anything in life. The important thing is to start small and then work your way up to ever bigger and better things until you've accomplished everything you want to in life.

The Power of Having a Follow Up System

By Wilkinson Fox

To some salespeople, follow-up means a call or two after the sale has been closed. It may come as a shock, but most don't even do that much! Consider this: if salespeople stop at one post sale follow-up call, they are throwing away future business. Successful sales professionals and experts consistently tell us that not keeping in touch with your clients after the sale can have serious negative consequences.

The Eighty-Twenty Rule in sales usually signified 20% of the sales people did 80% of the business. This could also represent 80% of your business comes from 20% of your client resources. In other words, following up with your clients could generate 80% of your sales. This is true for repeat clients or referrals from these particular clients.

Let's look at the real estate industry for a minute. Over 80% of real estate agents clients do not remember the name of the agent that represented them in a buying or selling transaction. By being proactive in periodic follow up would more than cut that percentage in half. Clients usually won't bother you with minor problems, but them knowing you are there for them if they need you is powerful. Continually putting your name in front of them has very positive results and will show in your sales figures.

In any sales industry, no matter how small or large, following up after the sale is an absolute must. If one client knows 3 people, who know 3 people and so on, just imagine how important touching base with your sphere of influence could result in huge future profits. Take a step back and count the number of sales people who followed up with you after you purchased their product or service.

With computers, technology and the Internet, we have vast resources at our disposal for following up with our clients. Use these tools to your advantage to touch base with your sphere of influence. Postal or electronic emails for Christmas cards, thank you cards, birthday cards or a "Just wanted to say hi" cards are a few of several choices you have.

With today's innovative ideas we can easily try to escape the phone call approach. This is probably more powerful than any other follow up technique and should not be forgotten. If it is available to you, then I would highly recommend incorporating this method in your follow up procedures. A few minutes of conversation will reconnect the rapport with your client.

We tend to get busy and lose focus on how crucial our past clients can keep our pipeline filled. There is something to be said for "follow up" if 80% of our business is generated from 20% of past clients and referrals.

Continual follow up with our sphere of influence will no doubt, increase our sale production. This in turn will help pave the road to success and financial freedom.
