Default What I Learned from 12 Yr Old Katie Who Just Broke 30 Yr GirlScout COOKIESales Record

Thanks Dien,

21,477 boxes of cookies in 8 weeks.

You can look up Katie Francis from Oklahoma City yourself.

At age 11 - last year Katie did something different.

In 2013 she sold 12,000 boxes of cookies - to break the state record.

Decided to do Three Things Differently.

I - She set a goal to sell 18,100 in 7 weeks (The old record was 18,000 even)
(Cuz of snow - the time was extended for a week.)

II - Katie Did the math and figured out how many hours a day
it would take at ___ Boxes an Hr - to reach her goal.

IF any spot didn't meet the goal - She MOVED.

III - She PLANNED in Advance and called Sponsors so she could raffle off
Hotel rooms and Spa Weekends.

Buy 6 boxes - you can Enter a Raffle to win a 800.00 Resort Vacation.

Buy 12 Boxes - You can Enter the Weekend Spa Vacation Raffle.

THIS
RECORD
Stood for THIRTY YEARS.

So this is not a small accomplishment.

Might be a few ideas we can all adopt.

Thanks,
Glenn

P.S. - Katie plans to BEAT her 2014 Record next year. My Bet is she beats it by
a LARGE # - not just a few boxes.

Default Woman Who Owns Her Own Island Charges 20 People 50K Each

Thanks Dien,

After Writing the First of a series of books called,

"Napoleon Hill Guide on How to Open a Door into Women's Minds" V#1

Volume #1 is done - and s elling.

Volume #2 - is outlined.

This Question popped up.

"WHERE DID THIS IDEA COME FROM?

IT seemed Wise to Share Why FLIRT TIPPING With Instant
Scratch off LOTTO tickets Opens a MASTERMIND Energy Door
btwn you and Waitresses - clerks - cashiers.

The Step by Step Source Material for the Golden Rule--Go the Extra Mile Munny Making TIPPING Results
are based on 20 different Mil lionaire mentors - self made entrépreneurs
we've interviewed.

SHE GUARANTEES That if You Do Your HomeWork
You will DOUBLE Your Income or more in 90 Days.

OR YOUR MUNNY BACK.

a - You fill out a questionnaire

b - All 20 read each others answers

c - Linda's GUARANTEE is in the bag. She Earns her 1 million bucks BEFORE the Mastermind Meetings Start
Because she Uncovers 20 TIMES more munny in each business than they
are making now.

The 90 days is for each Sm biz owner to DECIDE which idea to work
on First.

Glenn

P.S. - No Surprise. Linda makes 20 Million+ in %age fees on the back end - because most of
her 20 mastermind members become a Client.

They want to do the next and the next munny thing until they get to 20TIMES
MORE than they make now.

To Test The Golden Rule Mastermind Munny Making TIP Tactic...

Imitate these VIP Inner Circle members
who are already making munny by Go-the-Extra Mile TIPPING.

Hi Glenn,

Another FANTASTIC post... And of course, some great advice many of us could use (me included)!

I do find when I write down things, they are more likely to get done. That includes goals.

If I don't write them down... then what gets done is often everything else, BUT what I wanted to do! (Everything else can include... watching my favorite TV show, surfing the web for interesting "news", scanning Facebook, all that good stuff... which doesn't really help me in the long run!)

By the way, I had a big, big meal on Sunday. Too big. I ate at my sister-in-law's parents' place for an Easter lunch. They are half-Italian, and there was lots of gnocchi. Lots. Very delicious! I ate too much, and spent the next day recovering!

So, sorry for my slow reply...!

(Note to self: try not to eat too much gnocchi next time - no matter how delicious it is!)

I find writing an incredibly powerful tool...

I've also found "tracking" what I'm doing (through writing) to be a powerful tool, too.

What I do is I have a small notebook. When I want to work on something, I write what I’m going to work on, and the time I start working on it in the notebook.

e.g. "Work on article on making money from road rage signs. START 10.23 am"

Then, I work.

If I stop (e.g. if I need a break, have a meal, have to attend to some other chore, etc.), then I write the time I stop working on that item.

e.g. "STOP 11.36 am"

When I start working on it again, I write the time I start on it again.

e.g. "START 12.05 pm"

And so on.

I find this technique really helps me to focus and get stuff done.

I can then look back, and see exactly how many hours I've worked on that project... and how many hours I "wasted" (the "non-work" times) or did other things...

I find I get much more done using this method. Even if the only person who ever sees the notebook is me…

There’s no cheating yourself (as long as what you write down is honest)! Otherwise, it is easy to fool yourself that you’re being "productive" - when you’re not...

Sometimes, you can also scare yourself at how few hours you really worked - especially when you just start using this technique...

Just another idea some might like to try...

Best wishes,

Dien
