Quotes of the Day

Your chances of making a sale once you get face-to-face with the prospect increase by ten or twenty times over a telephone discussion. Before you go off to a prearranged appointment, always call to reconfirm. This is a mark of top professionals. Never expect people to call you back. Smile into the phone when you speak. Stand up when you speak to the prospect. [2004] - Brian Tracy

An interior decorator is hired to come in and determine what new furniture should be obtained and where to place it. Most of the new furniture is rented. In the bedroom, you can dress up an old bed with a new bedspread. A dining or kitchen table can be disguised under a long, new table-cloth. Legs of furniture can be buffed and polished to hide scuffs, scratches, and stains. A new rug of even the poorest quality usually looks far better than an older, worn expensive rug. [2003] - Robert Irwin

TR or time restriction-also known as intermittent fasting-is the latest trend in ways to cut calories. But this can still backfire if you overeat. I have, much to my amusement, watched patients gain weight on a one-meal-a-day approach by turning their meal into a contest to see who could eat the most pizza and ice cream. But the more significant downside of this approach is that most people who try it end up very protein deficient. One not uncommon scenario that we see with TR is that a person loses weight on the scale, but their body composition alters for the worse: they lose lean mass (muscle) while their body fat stays the same or even increases. [2023] - Peter Attia

The most famous cryptocurrencies right now include Ethereum, Ripple, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, and Stellar Lumens. Because the crypto industry is pretty new, it's still very hard to identify the best-performing cryptos for long-term investment. That's why you may benefit from diversifying among various types and categories of cryptocurrencies in order to manage your risk. By diversifying across 15 or more cryptos, you can stack up the odds of having winners in your portfolio. [2019] - Kiana Danial

Never risk more than 5 percent of the value of your account on one transaction. [2010] - Jay Norris
