I have decided what I need more than anything is a collective mindset that will make my own thinking more dynamic. Feel free to help.
I bought a bottle of Hoodia liquid capsules last night and after some searching online …there is remarkably little info… discovered that the optimum dosage for 24 hours is 750 mg. My $44 60-pill supply will last then for 15 days making hoodia the same price as my gym membership. Three pills in the evening and I have eaten since:
2 bananas, 1 Starbucks apple-bran muffin, 1 cup of coffee with soy milk, four glasses of water.
My weight this morning was 204. Before starting hoodia, I managed to go from 218 in December to 204 now. Most of that has come off from a mixture of mostly exercise but a lot of eating better. I get most of my cravings at breakfast and if there is a donut or apple fritter around, I won’t hesitate to buy both and eat until I can feel the sugar reaching my brain.
For the last eight months, I have been trading on the promises of my employer. That has to change because it was proved this week that she cannot keep her promises. It is back to basics for me at work. I must now train myself in this new field while doing only the following at work:
- Data Collection
- Prospect Research
- Lead Generation
- Meeting Reviews
My manager is now a person I will share data rather than friendship.
I am a self-promoter, so resultingly have some of the world’s most self-promotional business cards. Some have asked me if they have ever elicited an offer of business and the answer is not at present. That is probably 1000 cards I have run through and $50 lost on the bet that only humor and agressiveness will take me somewhere.
Even if I never gain a foothold in any industry because of a small piece of heavy paper, I still recommend the business card in all circumstances. They are invaluable not so much as a networking tool but as memory exercise. If they are funny, then people will linger over them. I think on my next set I will use a revolving set of banal jokes on one side like those found on popsicle sticks. I really envy those people who can hand over a business card with just their name, though those people are dying out.
Right now, it seems everyone has the same card courtesy of prestoprint.com. I will not link there because I do not want you to make the same mistake as many. A business card should never be free. If you receive them from work, you are working with each card you give out. If you print them yourself - or have them printed yourself as the case really is now - you must only sell yourself. Why would you want an enterprising paper company stealing your spotlight?
