They each met someone they were so compatible with! That’s a great foundation for a terrific and very successful marriage.

When the Corporate Bullies Cry Foul – you and I don’t stand a chance…
When the big corporate bullies cry foul over something you’re doing or selling, you and I, the little guy, don’t stand a chance. Have you had this experience? (Tell us about it in the comment section!)
I found this out several times during my years of selling on eBay.

Amazon wasn’t nearly as helpful. Their service was so bad that I stopped selling on that platform. It wasn’t that their staff wasn’t nice. They were very nice, including the ones in China where their software error routed me for months, as they tried their best to understand and be understood. (They understand English much better than I understand Chinese, but that’s not saying much…)
What I found as a seller is that, first of all, it’s really difficult to sell anything if you’re not using a big platform with lots of traffic.

Steak please! There’s nothing like a good steak. Good food is a pleasure to see, a pleasure to smell, and even more of a pleasure to eat. No offense to my vegetarian friends, but I prefer my grass after it has turned into cow. Steak, please!

Ask for the referral every time you make a sale. There is no better way to find your next client. Referrals are what salesmen call “hot prospects.” That’s because, unlike so-called “cold calling,” you have an “in” with a referral. It’s almost like being introduced at a meeting or party…
Let’s face it. No matter what anybody tells you, selling can easily be hard work, whether you’re doing affiliate marketing on the internet, or network marketing, or selling woven cedar baskets by the side of the road.
One of the most disappointing things I face as a college professor is the lack of understanding most students have regarding capitalism. The simple fact is, despite its importance to our daily lives, relatively few people have a strong grasp of what causes economic growth and why markets are so central to continuously rising standards of living.
In my teaching, I have encountered several myths or misperceptions about capitalism from students as well as individuals outside the classroom. Dispelling these myths has become a focus of much of my teaching.
