 My New Daily Goal

By David Frey

Okay, I'm not going to get all mushy and gooey with you...so relax. But this edition of my newsletter has nothing to do with marketing.

As a hard charg'in marketer, sometimes I forget how important PEOPLE are.

In the world of electrons (i.e. the internet) you sometimes forget that there is a live, breathing, caring person with feelings at the other end of the email.

This is especially true the more successful you become.

More people want (and need) more of your personal time and energies...and sometimes you simply have to build up communication barriers around you in order get things done...

...and to be honest, sometimes I feel bad about that.


But Last Week I Had a Really Cool Experience


I attended the Send Out Cards convention in Salt Lake City. It was a lot of fun. I got to meet a lot of great people and there was a lot of great energy there.

NOTE: For those of you who are new to this newsletter and don't know what Send Out Cards is, you can visit http://www.SendReferralCards.com and find out more.

It wasn't because the people were all whooping and holler'in, but it was because of what the Send Out Cards product is doing for people's lives.

I came home with one goal from that convention.

- It wasn't to create more information products.

- It wasn't to attract more Send Out Cards users.

- It wasn't to implement more tactics or techniques.

It was none of the above. It was more important than all those things.

So I took that goal, printed it out, framed it and nailed it to the wall in front of my desk so it's the first thing I look at every day.

Here it is...

Every morning, when I get to the office, before I do anything , I now make this one little activity...a top priority.

It provides me with a wonderful start to my day.

It clears my thinking and forces me to think of others, rather than myself.

And it's hard to explain what this one small activity does to the people who receive it.

The comments I receive back from the people who are the receivers of this one small activity bring me so much satisfaction and joy.


A Business Building Habit...

Sending a card once a day to someone can also have a dramatic impact on your business.

To quote Kody Bateman, the CEO of Send Out Cards...

"Appreciation will always win out over self promotion."

Now I do believe that everyone needs to promote themselves and set themselves apart as an expert and celebrity in their field...

...but people will ALWAYS remember you when you send them a card expressing your appreciation for them in a sincere way.

Tom Hopkins, the nation's leading sales trainer, tells the story of when he started to send out personal notes every day to people he knew and to business associates.

By the end of the year, he had developed a "100% - By Referral Only" business.

Sending cards works.

It works in your professional life and it works in your personal life.


A Special Invitation....


I want to make a bold invitation to you to start taking time to think about who you can send a heartfelt card to today.

Then take the time to send them that card.

I use http://www.SendReferralCards.com to send my cards. It makes it super easy and quick.

But you can simply do it by buying a pack of cards and hand writing them to people you are prompted to send a card to that day.

Let them know how you feel.

Be sincere.

Be appreciative.

Build them up.

It will start to change you life.

I promise.
