Quotes of the Day

Sales Steps: 1. Establish Rapport. 2. Qualify the Buyer (Find the Needs). 3. Build Value. 4. Create Desire (use market data and your core story to create a combination of problems and solutions; paint a picture of their future and not just your products). 5. Overcome Objections (always agree with an objection, then isolate the objection). 6. Close the Sale (help prospects make the decision, assume the sale, etc.) 7. Follow Up. [2007] - Chet Holmes

Protect your company and employees from cheap customers-the customers who want more than they pay for, the customers who want something for nothing. I make it a point to fire cheap customers-politely and discreetly. [2005] - Robert T. Kiyosaki

The best bet to ensure that your death is yours is access to hospice care. Patients who choose hospice care live on average about a month longer than similar patients who do not choose hospice. Any physician aid in dying is illegal and punishable by law in 40 US states. In contrast, VSED (Voluntarily Stopping Eating and Drinking) is legal throughout the United States. The average time of death after stopping eating and drinking is about 7 days, though 8% lived for more than 2 weeks. The last days of life were rated as peaceful, with low levels of pain and suffering, even more so than a physician-assisted death. [2023] - Michael Greger

Over time, some of the ways of limiting food will prove to be more effective than others. A popular method is to skip breakfast and have a late lunch (the 16:8 diet). Another is to eat 75% fewer calories for two days a week (the 5:2 diet). If you're a bit more adventurous, you can try skipping food a couple of days a week (Eat Stop Eat), or as the health pundit Peter Attia does, go hungry for an entire week every quarter. [2019] - David A.

Americans should have a nice chunk of money in a US index; Canadians should have a good-sized chunk in a Canadian index. After all, it makes sense to keep much of your money in the currency with which you pay your bills. Investors can increase their diversification by building a portfolio with global exposure. A total international stock market index would fit the bill. To keep it simple, you could split your stock market money between your home country index and an international index. [2017] - Andrew Hallam
