Strategic Services One Minute Tip:
Do you have a product or service which at the moment you offer as a 'one size
fits all'? Different customers have different needs - some may want your product
with a slight modification or packaged a particular way.
Take a look at your product and see if you can customise it for particular
segments. Could you bundle it with another product thereby making it more
attractive for a certain market? After consultation with your customers, could
you add something extra at little cost to you but which would add a great deal
for your customer?
By customising your offering you are demonstrating to your client that you are
prepared to go that little bit further in order to keep them as loyal customers
for life.
Take a fresh look at your product set and see what you can do
Power Quotes:
"In our daily lives, we must see that it is not happiness
that makes us grateful, but the gratefulness that makes us
happy."
-- Albert Clarke
"Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing left to
add, but when there is nothing left to take away. "
-- "Antoine de St. Exupery
"One must marry one's feelings to one's beliefs and ideas.
That is probably the only way to achieve a measure of
harmony in one's life."
-- Etty Hilsum
"Happiness belongs to those who are sufficient unto
themselves. For all external sources of happiness and
pleasure are, by their very nature, highly uncertain,
precarious, ephemeral, and subject to change."
-- Arthur Schopenhauer

Ten Steps To Goal Getting by Zig Ziglar
These ten steps will help you achieve your goals in 2004.
1. Make the commitment to reach your goal. "One person with a commitment is worth a hundred who only have an interest." Mary Crowley.
2. Commit yourself to detailed accountability. Record your progress toward your goals every night, and list the six most important things you need to do the next day. Daily discipline is the key to reaching your goals.
3. Build your life on a sold foundation of honesty, character, integrity, trust, love, and loyalty. This foundation will give you an honest shot at reaching any goal you have set properly.
4. Break your intermediate and long-range goals into increments.
5. Be prepared to change. You can't control the weather, inflation, interest rates, Wall Street, etc. Change your decision to move toward a goal carefully--but be willing to change your direction to get there as conditions and circumstances demand.
6. Share your "give-up" goals (i.e., give up smoking, being rude, procrastinating, being late, eating too much, etc.) with many people. Chances are excellent they're going to encourage you.
7. Become a team player. Remember: You can have everything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want.
8. See the reaching. In your imagination see yourself receiving that diploma, getting that job or promotion, making that speech, moving into the home of your dreams, achieving that weight-loss goal, etc.
9. Each time you reach a goal your confidence will grow so that you can do bigger and better things. After accomplishing any goal, record it in your journal, Weekly Planner or Palm Pilot.
10. Remember, what you get by reaching your destination isn't nearly as important as what you become by reaching your goals--what you will become is the winner you were born to be!

Your Editor,
====================================================
Little Johnny asked his grandma how old she was. Grandma
answered, "39 and holding." Johnny thought for a moment,
and then said, "And how old would you be if you let go?"
The Sunday school teacher asked, "Now, Johnny, tell me, do
you say prayers before eating?" "No sir," he replied, "We
don't have to. My mom is a good cook!"
"My husband bought me a mood ring the other day. When I'm
in a good mood it turns green. When I'm in a bad mood, it
leaves a red mark on his forehead."
When my three-year-old son opened the birthday gift from
his grandmother, he discovered a water pistol. He squealed
with delight and headed for the nearest sink. I was not so
pleased.
I turned to my mother and said, "I'm surprised at
you. Don't you remember how we used to drive you crazy with
water guns?"
My mother smiled and replied..."Oh, I remember."
Helene Malmsio.
