377 Unit vs Range

admin — Wed, 11 Dec 2013 15:12:26 +0000

We don’t decide in Ranges.

We decide in Units.

Our decision is made based on what Unit it’s in.

No matter where in the Range the price is.

Because of costs, we had to charge $34 for Jodhpurs.

So we charged $39 because it’s in the $30 Unit.

Again, because people decide in Units, not inside the Range that represents the Unit,

it makes no difference. It’s still just a Unit decision.

It was ‘only’ 0.003% additional profit …but of almost $4,000,000,000 sales.

A net $12,000,000 !

Extra.

Because people decide in Units.

OK, so?

Apply this thinking to Garage Sales, your art sales, Office Lottery, etc.

You can charge a LOT more than you think, most of the time.

And still get the same results.

And more money.

Those who spend their own money on themselves are careful about

how much they spend and what it buys.

Those who spend someone else’s money on themselves don’t care

what they spend but are attentive to what it buys.

Those who spend their own money on someone else are careful

how much they spend but careless about what it buys.

Those who spend someone else’s money on someone else aren’t careful

about how much or what it buys.

The last case is called GOVERNMENT

admin — Sun, 19 Jun 2011 18:18:04 +0000

What does a rough diamond look like? Do you know? I don’t. A man sold his Homestead and wandered the world to return one day only to find fences protecting what was now a Diamond mine. He could not identify what a Rough Diamond looked like. So he sold his place for far less than it was worth to someone who could identify a potential diamond. You are exactly like this.. You cannot identify the aspect of you that is a Rough diamond. You look at yourself and see only ‘stone’. Yet you may well be looking at a Rough Diamond. You wouldn’t know. Because you don’t know what a Rough Diamond looks like. Scour you memory for which things seem unusually easy for you that others find hard. There’s your Rough Diamond. Work on it, polish it. Now look for another one, and another… ————————– These are related: # 21 Interpretation – 51 Hindsight – 64 Natural Talents – 85 Babies – 99 Perfection! – 113 Success 116 Facade – 117 Gold Mine – 119 Gears – 142 Progression – 222 The Difference

217 Luxury /Waste

admin — Fri, 27 May 2011 01:12:21 +0000

People want Luxury in their lives, but not waste.

And there’s your problem.

“13 Bathrooms?? What a waste!”

“40 acres! What do you do with all that land?

If you aren’t farming, it’s a waste of good land.”

YET:

How many televisions do you have in your house?

How many chairs?

How many ‘inside’ doors, … that you never close?

Rugs on top of perfectly good floors?

Extra pillows on your sofa(s)?

Sweaters?

etc.

If those are not ‘waste’…

So, time to rethink.

I have my idea of what luxury is and my idea of what necessity is.

All I have to do is change my idea of what luxury is.

Stop thinking it’s waste. Make it a necessity. (See # 58 )

Then, like magic, I accumulate more luxury.

192 Flow Tubes

admin — Fri, 27 May 2011 00:13:24 +0000

Picture a bunch of tubes in the air, similar to telephone lines going from pole to pole. Lots and lots and lots of them in the air overhead. No poles, just tubes. And in the tubes, is a flow of money /happiness /sadness, etc. Your ‘job’ is to reach up, grab a tube and pull it down to touch your body (so to speak!). At that point the tube magically enters your body and exits the other side to continue to flow. How many tubes you pull into your body is how much money /happiness etc. you have Temporary use of. It will flow out the other side. Your use is temporary. Soooo, if you use this flow for a house, the flow outwards from you goes into the carpenter, the plumber, etc. It also exits them to go to Wall Mart, Auto payments etc. And out to their suppliers who … When you complain other people’s tubes are not in your body, you stop placing tubes in your body. You are too busy looking at other people’s tubes. And what’s your next course of action if that is so. Why, pull more tubes into yourself, of course. A smile, for instance, will pull in a tube of smiles. (read # 108) You need only initiate, the flow tubes take over. ————————– To reinforce this read any two below: # 29 Who’s in Charge? – 31 Being at-Cause – 50 Limits – 55 Oxygen – 58 Needs – 102 Response-ability 107 Iron – 108 Emotions – 119 Gears – 136 Beggars & Alcoholics

190 Big Deal?

admin — Fri, 27 May 2011 00:09:00 +0000

We went to a restaurant to celebrate someone (finally!) buying a new car.

Nearly $200. For lunch.

No big deal.

When we returned to the office I went to the warehouse.

I noticed the boxes were being over-wrapped for delivery.

By at least .03 cents.

Very big deal!

When I said this to the person in charge he said,

“You sure are strange. You just spent almost $200 for one lunch and now you complain about 3 cents!”

A one-time lunch, almost no matter how expensive, is cheap compared to an every-day overspending of any amount of money. We ship over 1,000 boxes per day. Three cents adds up to around $10,000 a year.

You can have a lot of unexpectedly expensive lunches and still not come anywhere near that amount of money.

So, why say this?

The exact same thing applies to you and your everyday actions.

Eating, a bit too much.

Frowning, a bit too much.

Smiling, a bit too much.

With family and friends, this is exactly how you establish your relationship with them.

And then you wonder why things are the way they are.

When you notice you’re over doing it “just a bit”, give your memory a quick check.

Is it ongoing or just once?

If ongoing, pull back a bit. It will make a world of difference.

167 Bucket List

admin — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 16:16:59 +0000

Make a list of things you want to do before you die.

These are really the things NOT motivated by anyone else in your life. These come directly from you, for you.

So make a list and check it. You’ll find you can actually do many of these now.

And easily!

What holds you back are your thoughts of what others would think regarding your desires that are NOT originating from other-than-you. They are ‘only’ your thoughts and wants /desires.

You possibly think that that is selfish.

And what if it is.

What exactly does being selfish mean? Not in general. In this case.

To think clearly ask yourself this:

Who is harmed, who gains, who benefits.

(Ask yourself this each time you hesitate doing something)

And look at the answers.

It’s your list. Why wait?

141 Imagine

admin — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 16:21:04 +0000

This one is quite simple yet works.
When you want something you cannot easily get right away, all you have to do is imagine having it.
No, no, not in the “imagination-will-get-you-it” way (although that works more often than you think!)
What you do is imagine you have it now.
Imagine it under every circumstance. When you are at home, at work, at play.
With friends, alone.
On your way to somewhere, coming back from somewhere.
All the time. In every setting. Everywhere.
At most it takes a year to either burn-in or burn-out that desire.
Then you are sure!
I did this for a ‘mansion’ I was positive I wanted.
I imagined I was living in a mansion. All the time.
When I turned into the driveway of my townhouse I imagined I was turning into the driveway of my mansion.
When I went in the front door, it was the front door of the mansion. And so on.

Within one year I realized that I did NOT really want a mansion.
What a complete surprise!
When I finally had enough money to build a nice home, I built… not a mansion!
And am I ever glad that I did that imagine thing.

By doing this I also found I don’t want:

A private Chef
An airplane
Lots of homes all over the world
A large yacht

The same goes for anything you ‘want’ and cannot easily get right away.
And what an easy way to see if you really do want it!
The smaller the item the less time it typically takes to burn-in or burn-out that desire.

97 Variety

admin — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 17:25:22 +0000

Many of us take vitamins and mineral supplements everyday.
We also shop at favorite repetitive places.
And they, in turn, buy their supplies from their same suppliers.

If only these were a perfect complement to our body.
But they aren’t.
And, if only there was a way to test for this.
But there isn’t.

So what to do?
Simple.
Variety is the absolute best answer.
Buy your (same) vitamins from 3 or 4 different brands and mix them up in a larger container.
Then when you take that vitamin you’ll be taking a slightly different composition each time. Or maybe not.
Same with food.
Buy from different suppliers and you’ll get product from different areas of the countries. This gives you different ratios of trace elements and minerals.

Since I’m doing this my overall well being dramatically increased.
Those people who travel extensively know exactly what I mean.
