Have you ever been charged the wrong price for an item at the check out? Most of us have and sometimes we don’t even notice until we get back home. Let me offer you a strategy that will make you feel good about them incorrectly charging you. You see [...]
I hate the saying “110% effort”….or even just “110%”, unless it is preceded by the words “our income increased”. It is simply NOT possible. 100% is the greatest possible amount of energy/effort you can put in!!! There is no way to give more than 100% so why say 110%? Ok, I’m not [...]
