Another “Dad” post you need to read

Another message about lessons from ‘Dad’ Enjoy.

Hi Fred

Josh here

About My Dad

When my dad was a kid, growing up in south, he was so poor that on a school trip to Washington DC with his school mates he was embarrassed to be the only kid there without shoes

Imagine looking up into the granite face of Abe Lincoln and being both embarrassed and inspired at the same time

My dad taught me many things and inspired life long qualities that I enjoy and admire to this day

Since its fathers day, I decided to share with you the most important things about life that he shared with me.

Some of these golden life nuggets he was conscientious of and others i learned just by watching him.

May they inspire you…

1. Greatness is the simple act of Never wavering from what you REALLY want, Never quitting, Never sacrificing your morals to get there and Never being too selfish to stop and help someone in need.

2. There are only 3 ways to get ahead in life - Use your brawn, Use your brain or steal.

His forearms are still bigger than my biceps

He never stole and refused to accept even change from the supermarket if it was too much.

He encouraged me to use my head more to get ahead.

3. Take care of your health because someday you will not have it. Someday comes sooner to those that disrespect their health.

4. Cherish every day as though it would be your last and NEVER go to sleep angry with the ones you love. Never break this rule.

5. And this is the most important thing I can ever thank my dad for. I find it hard to even put into words now as I type it.

He always believed in me.

In good times and in bad times he always believed in me.

I think if I had to choose, this would be the most important gift my father ever gave me.

I hope you have a story like this about your dad

Either way, take a minute and consider your legacy

What will your kids say about you?

It matters much who you choose to be

And if you:

Never Waiver
Never Quit
Never Sacrifice Your Morals
Never Be Too Selfish To Help Someone In Need
Never Take Your Health For Granted
Always Cherish The Day
Never Let The Sun Set On An Argument

Then you will have made my daddy proud

And someone will be proud to call you daddy or mommy or uncle…

And if you stumble, just pick your self backup

And if you are feeling blue- wear a smile because feeling follows action, not the other way around

And if you need a hand just reach out- help will find you

And never forget I believe in you

-Josh

P.S. Hi Dad, I know you are reading this Happy Fathers Day- I Love You

7 Habits of Highly Effective People!

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008

Stephen Covey Hits the Nail on the Head!

Habit 1 - Be Proactive: The habit of being proactive, or the habit of personal vision, means taking responsibility for our attitudes and actions.

Habit 2 - Begin with the end in Mind: This is the habit of personal leadership. Start with a clear destination to understand where you are now, where you’re going and what you value most.

Habit 3 - Put First Things First: This is the habit of personal management, which involves organizing and managing time and events. Manage yourself. Organize and execute around priorities.

Habit 4 - Think Win/Win: Win/Win is the habit of interpersonal leadership. Win.win is the attitude of seeking mutual benefit. This thinking begins with a commitment to explore all options until a mutually satisfactory solution is reached, or to make no deal at all.

Habit 5 - Seek First to Understand�Then to be Understood: This is the habit of empathic communication. Understanding builds the skill of empathic listening that inspires openness and trust.

Habit 6 - Synergize: This is the habit of creative cooperation or teamwork. Synergy results from valuing differences by bringing different perspectives together in the spirit of mutual respect.

Habit 7 - Sharpen the Saw: This is the habit of self-renewal. Preserving and enhancing your greatest asset, yourself, by renewing the physical, spiritual, mental and social/emotional dimensions of your nature.

Hello Readers!

Subject lines can make or break your email marketing strategy.

They’re the most important of any email marketing campaign because if you don’t convince the reader to immediately open and read your message, it’ll likely end up in the trash!

When you’re thinking up subject lines, picture your reader in front of their computer faced with a bulging inbox.

As they glance over your subject line, what’s going to make them open it first?

For starters, nothing is more effective than using the reader’s name in the subject line to catch their attention.

But your subject line must also answer the first questions on your reader’s mind:
§  “So what?”
§  “What’s in it for me?”
§  “Why should I open your message (out of the dozens waiting for me)?”

Only a few subject lines angles actually answer these questions. We’ve tested thousands - and these four approaches have been consistent winners…

Angle #1: Make an announcement or share news
People want to be the first to find out new things - especially if your site covers a specific industry.
The news could be about your site (e.g., “Lana, we’d like your feedback”) or about the topic of interest (e.g., “Michael, here’s a new back exercise”).

Angle #2: Make the reader curious
You can do this by suggesting the reader is missing out on an important offer or piece of information (e.g., “Chris, are you making this common mistake?”).
It’s important to leave something to the imagination when using this technique, usually by posing a question the reader can’t ignore.

Angle #3: Create a sense of urgency
You do this by either limiting time (e.g., “Mary, just three days left”) or quantity (e.g., “David, last 50 copies available now”).

This approach works especially well when you’re creating a follow-up mailing - and it’s a great way to motivate people to take action now! But don’t overdo it… creating a sense of urgency too often can be a bit like crying wolf, so use it carefully and sparingly.

Angle #4: Emphasize how the reader will benefit from reading your email

Out of these four angles, you’ll always be most successful if your subject lines state a clear benefit and tell the reader exactly how they’re going to save money, save time, or make their life easier by reading your email (e.g., “Christina, save $25.00 or more every time you fly”).

If you can state a benefit AND create curiosity, so much the better! The key to writing benefit-laden subject lines is to consider your product or service from your customers’ point of view.

Write subject lines using these angles - particularly ones that emphasize benefits - and we guarantee you’ll dramatically increase the number of people who open and read your emails…
