Lost Referral – How Many $$$’S Did You Lose?

Have you ever wondered what a lost referral may have really cost you? Just how many SS$’s did you lose?

A friend of mine was seeking some advice and guidance as he was about to buy a new car. He was telling me he was in the same situation that I was in when I got our last car—it wasn’t so much about a particular make and model, but more about what it was needed for.

Now, I don’t buy new cars that often, as I prefer to wear them out. So my last dealing was four years ago. However, I was really impressed with the salesman as he helped me to get just what I needed and at the right price. It really was the salesman that made the difference in this transaction and not the dealership per se. In fact they didn’t impress me much at all. (more…)

My Utmost Gratitude – How May I Express My Utmost Gratitude?

You know, I love my association with Send Out Cards as much as I hope you value your association with what you do—especially for all it enables you to be and do: Being the person who values and appreciates others; being the one who gets to express their admiration to those around them; sharing good stuff; expressing my utmost gratitude. Making a difference in other peoples’ lives and having that inner feeling—the good time vibe that comes from spreading kindness. This is, I believe one of the true rewards of living a great life and being in business.

Most of us start out in our new adventure, our fantastic new business, full of all sorts of ideals. We want to provide the best value; the best service; to bring our uniqueness into the business world. Plus, make the best use of all those other things we believe will set us apart. In return, we hope to reap the profits, the joy and the independence, that will make it all worthwhile.    (more…)

Road Trip – do you love them or not?

Road Trip – do you love them or not?

When you go on a road trip are you a planner or do you just go and see when you finish?

When we set off on a road trip we like to have a bit of an idea where we are headed and when we want to arrive but we don’t like too much planning.

Over the years we have explored much of Australia by car. As we travel from Brisbane to Sydney several time a year we like to explore different routes. There is the main highway which is the more direct and of course the quickest. Once you have driven it a few times it becomes a bit boring. As they have improved to road over the years and by passed many of the smaller towns there are not many places to stop and have a coffee or just a walk round.

So more often than not we start off on the main highway and take many of the different tourist routes along the way. This way we see many of the smaller places and also find some very interesting a diverse places to have a coffee or lunch. We also find many different places to stay overnight.

Sometimes we take a completely different highway and travel further. I think over the years we have driven on every road between Brisbane and Sydney.

Last time we were heading off my sister asked where we were staying the night. My answer was, not sure. She then asked how long we would drive before we stopped again my answer was, not sure. As a person who likes to plan every detail she couldn’t understand our carefree attitude.

Over the years we have taken many road trips. We have rarely booked any accommodation in advance and we have never had a problem. We have stayed in some very interesting places. Some we have gone back to many time and some were a once only!
