*Think & Grow Rich* Napoleon Hill - TRUE STORIES
 
Thanks Gordon/Dien,

A Client who attended a Napoleon Hill - "Law of Success" Seminar series
told me Why he waited outside.

Before Napoleon Hill arrived People came out of the Building. Moved their cars out of the Front Row.

THAT was how Wayne Knew Napoleon Hill was about to Arrive.

Wayne asked Dr Hill, "How are you doing that?"

Dr Hill said, "I imagine a little man going out ahead of me. Moving cars in the Front Row. So I can Park close to our Classroom.

HUH?

What the Heck.

I decided to Try it myself.

It Worked SO GREAT I decided to Show off for People.

Driving to Dinner with 2 Friends from Church.

I said, "It's Friday so The ABC Restaurant will be Packed. Parking Lot full. Long waiting lines for a table.

I Bet You DESSERT I can Find a Front row Parking Space.

And started Chanting, "Lots of Empty Spaces. Right up front, Right Up Front.
Lots of empty parking spaces."

And 2 Minutes later VOILA!

A bunch of empty spaces - including a coup in the front row.

Girl says, "You are in league with the Devil."

(ME thinking, "WHAT?")

Thinking fast I said, "Don't you Recognize a PRAYER when you hear it?"

"Next we Pray for Empty Seats.

"Join me."

Both shake their heads "NO."

Me Chanting, "Lots of Empty Seats. Empty seats. Empty seats. No waiting.
No Waiting. Lots of empty seats."

We walk in.

I say, "You have a table for 3, right?"

Girls says, "Yes I do. Follow me."

I turn and Say, "TaDA!

Now every time I am out with a Church Group I am careful to REFRAME
what I learned from Napoleon Hill.

I announce what I am doing. PRAYING for parking Places.

Thanks,
Glenn

Thanks Dien/Gordon,

Well.

I Figured if Napoleon Hills MAGIC can move people out of Parking Spaces.
And out of Restaurants.

Maybe I can Get People to Give me money.

So.

I am in a "Good Will" Store Hiding Money inside Books.
($1.00 bills and 3 by 5 Affirmation cards)

Chanting, "Lots of Extra money. Lots of Extra Money. More money for me.
Ziggety zee. Yippee."

I chat with a scruffy looking dude.

He is looking at a Brand new "Burburry Brand" heavy winter coat.

$50 bucks.

He puts it back saying, "Too much.

I Drive home.

Google and find the same Coat.

375.00!

Woah.

So I drive back to the store.

Whew!

The coat is still there.

I take it over to the Cashier.

Hand him 50 bucks.

He grins. Says, "You are in luck. Today is our 50% off Day. The coat is only 25.00."

WOW.

I truthfully tell him. "I didn't know."

Clerk Laughs.

Says, "I could tell by your face."

Have a great day.

Thanks,
Glenn

Mystical stuff...
 
Hi Glenn,

Now you're getting into the "mystical" stuff...

Can the "mystical" stuff work?

Like many people, I have some weird stories...

I personally do believe in a Higher Power...

But... I think in many cases...

The Higher Power won't necessarily DO the thing for you...

But the Higher Power can help you to DO the thing yourself...

Best wishes,

Dien

Saying THANK YOU with Chocolate M & M's is Not Mystical
 
Thanks Dien,

While outside yesterday in 100 degree heat MAKING 50.00 an Hr
I heard a Family Moving into an Empty house nearby.

Walked over to say, "Welcome to the Neighborhood."

Then Came home.

Found a bag of M&M's I'd just ordered on my porch.

So Got out my Pen.

And

Duct Tape.

And a Shoe Box.

Taped a Thank You Note to The parents with a Thank Reward.
A Solar Fan I was Testing.

And

Taped a Thank You Note to the 3 Kids with the 15.00 Bag of M&M's inside.

Walked over and handed it to the father.

Later that day
I waved to the Older Son
as he went by in an Air Conditioned Tractor Cab.

HE SMILED and WAVED.

None of the other Neighbors Gifted them a Thing.

==========

Mystical?

I just call it Neighborly.

And like the 23 Restaurant managers I chat with while Testing
Billionaire Sales Ideas.

NOBODY but me Ever tips the Cooks.

Ever.

Which REMINDS me.

One of my Inner Circle I sent a LOTTO Ticket Thank You Letter to
said HIS LETTER got shredded by the CA post office.

He got a letter of Apology.

Asked me to PLEASE Resend his Thank You Letter.

WHASSAT YOU SAY?

You don't send Thank You Rewards to Your VIP customers?

The persuasive power of free falafels...
 
Hi Glenn,

The techniques and strategies you share are fantastic!

Of course, when you make people happy and help them out... they're going to want to help YOU out too... It's human nature!

Sometimes people forget that...

One business a long time ago I remember was a small falafel restaurant... They'd sell all kinds of falafel sandwiches, wrapped in pita bread...

And around about lunch time, someone would be standing outside the store without fail, giving out delicious falafel balls to people walking by - for free!

Not all of the people who took a falafel ball stopped and bought something... Some did. Some might have come by and bought later, or another day... But I'm sure it helped to bring them more business!

When you see that kind of thing, you WANT them to succeed!

Best wishes!

Dien
