Monday Motivation :: Recovering Rented Headspace - eMoms at Home - The Inter…: Nov 12, 2007 1:17pm 3 reviews search, google, freedom, wisdom
http://www.emomsathome.com/blog/2007/11/12/monday-motivation-recovering-rente...; Wow Andy. I am so glad to have you as my friend. Everyone has GOT to READ THIS. And subscribe to Wendy's blog while you're there so you don't miss future installments of her wisdom. It is stupendous!

From the page: "I feel a little bad that I let Google rent so much headspace in the last few days that I posted my first ever mad rant today. I wrote it on Saturday and even let it sit for a while before hitting publish in the hopes I could tone my anger down... I failed. ;)

Which brings up an issue that definitely can affect productivity - what do you do when you are having a really bad day? How do you turn things around when you are having a really hard time getting your game face on?

Like today. No game face here.

Well, what I really need to be doing is 1 :: asking myself better questions, and 2 :: focusing on what will move me forward rather than what's holding me back.

So I will do that today as part of Monday Motivation.

Old question :: How can I get Google back? :evil:

New question :: How can I diversify my own traffic sources to lower Google's percentage of referral traffic from 28% down to less than 10%?"

The Gadget-Geek Dad: How to Handle An Argumentative Person: Nov 12, 2007 3:13am 1 review relationships, self-improvement, communications, difficult-people
http://emuelle1.blogspot.com/2007/10/how-to-handle-argumentative-person.html; Perhaps no skill is more critical to having a peaceful, stress-free life than understanding how best to communicate.

From the page: "How to Handle An Argumentative Person - I recently found myself in a situation facing a person who was seemingly looking for an argument. I have my own theories as to why, but I have no specific knowledge of why this person wanted to argue with me. All I know is that before I knew what was happening, I found myself under "attack" in what should have been a safe place. I didn't know what was happening, and I lost my composure very badly. I was under a lot of strain, I was tired, and I just plain blew up in frustration at this person especially since as far as I could tell, the answer he was looking for was something we agreed on anyway. That gave him the feeling of the upper hand and he walked away believing himself to have won.

For whatever reason, some people are just looking for an argument, and you may find yourself facing down their barrel. Maybe you said something they misunderstood, maybe they didn't agree with the way you said it, or maybe they just wanted a fight and you're the last person in the room. In my experience, people wanting a fight will come at you hard and come at you fast, giving you little time to figure out what is going on and how to reply. Here are a few tips I'd like to share that you can follow when you find yourself in a similar situation against a contentious or argumentative person."

From Where I Sit: How to Get Your Boss Off Your Back: Nov 12, 2007 3:08am 1 review management, communications, difficult-people, employee-skills
http://www.michaelhyatt.com/fromwhereisit/2007/04/how_to_get_your.html; Although this article is about being an employee, the advice will also work well for dealing with clients.

From the page: "Here's what you can do to keep your boss off your back, so you can get the results than will make you both happy. (To make this less cumbersome, I will use the masculine pronoun when referring to your boss.)

1. Tell him what you plan to do. If you tell your boss what you plan to do, then he has the opportunity for input before you have invested a lot of time and energy. As much as possible, keep this part of your conversation focused on results rather than activity. "

Three Words Can Make or Break a Sale for Women: Nov 12, 2007 3:06am 1 review entrepreneurship, ecommerce, e-commerce
http://www.managesmarter.com/msg/content_display/sales/e3i94fd092722f796aff02...; While women do tend to be less thrilled about discussing money, I have many male owners of new businesses immediately wanting to cut prices if sales are slower than they desire.

Competing on price alone is NOT a strategy I can endorse. Do not be the cheapest as those buyers will often still complain even if you sell under your cost. I suspect many of them would still complain if you paid them to take it!

Let those customers be someone else's headache. Focus on value, customer service, quality products, free shipping if you can manage it - anything but just having the lowest price.

From the page: "Three Words Can Make or Break a Sale for Women - November 02, 2007 - By Kelly McCormick - Women have come a long way in business. Who would have considered that more women than men would graduate with college educations and that women would pursue professional careers in numbers far surpassing most expectations? The majority of demographers didn't see it coming. But even as optimistic as women have been about their own success, very few report feeling comfortable in their skins when it comes to selling. This becomes especially evident when women have to talk about money.

Three Words Can Change Everything

Three simple words can catch even the most seasoned female seller off guard�"and I am not talking about "I love you." The seemingly innocent words that send many female sellers reeling are rarely spoken aloud. These success-sabotaging statements include "fear of fees" and "slash the price." "

Why First Life Will Always Win : Codswallop: Nov 12, 2007 2:58am 1 review science, social-networking, social-media, blog-world-expo
http://www.cogniview.com/convert-pdf-to-excel/post/why-first-life-will-always...; I may be one of the few who feels just as connected online as off. From the page: "If bloggers and techies would rather meet in person, what chance is there for the rest of the world to prefer electronic meetings?

Don't get me wrong, I love to IM, SMS, Twitter and blog more than most, and in person I am extremely shy at introducing myself, but even for me there is something special about actually seeing someone in the flesh and spending time with human beings. I doubt very much the people attending Blog World are there purely for the content.

When you meet someone in person you feel more connected. Those connections form faster and last long after the event. I �oeknow” lots of people purely online but those relationships are a far more slow burn thing, even if it is easier to stay in contact that way.

I believe as our lives become more and more moderated by technology the need to have real world contact will become even more important."
