It's National Kick Butt Day

Thursday, October 11 is National Kick Butt Day.

Some things to consider…

More clients? Fewer receivables?

Offer free kickboxing classes to those who reach their sales goal today or this week.  Or to those who collect a certain dollar amount of receivables.  Or any other activity that will help you and them get to goal.

As for the prize…it doesn’t have to be kickboxing classes.  It could be a candy bar or a round of applause or a handwritten note that says:

Congratulations and thank you for kicking butt!

It’s not the prize that counts.  It’s the recognition.  A terrific boost for morale and productivity. 

All great for the bottom line.

Working on your own?  No team to challenge?

You can still celebrate.  Can you think of something you’ve been putting off? Dreading? Avoiding?
Kick some butt and get it done TODAY.  Right  NOW! 

Then give yourself a prize or write yourself a congratulatory note.  Or let me know what you did to kick butt and I’ll send you one.

P.S. If no one seems eager to Kick Butt on Kick Butt Day or any other day, it could be fear that’s in the way.   Not good for business.  Put this  Quote of the Week to work right away.

P.P.S. Get even more easy-to-use and quick-to-use Bite Size Bits in this new E-Book.

P.P.P.S  – Did  you by any chance buy the local deal for kickboxing lessons back in June.  If so, and if you haven’t used them, now is the perfect time.  Here’s a link to the deal which will lead you to a place to go for classes.

Talk Derby To Me

My favorite spring sporting event has to be the Kentucky Derby.  What stands out most during this historic horse race is difficult to decide…the sleek and athletic thoroughbreds, the diminutive yet wiry jockeys in their colorful silks, the thrill of the race itself or the chance for a long-shot filly to come from behind and […]

Parenting Page: It Takes a Village - Of Perspectives

This is a parenting page, about parenting Page. I am a child psychologist and a mother. So I specialize in children, yet I am human, thus I am full of knowledge and yet as full of emotions as any other parent. So I decided to write this Parenting Page since it might be informative and […]

Political Power Grabs in 1875 and 2013

Republican Party. We need more moderate voices.” One of my longtime friends was tempting me, noting that his political party was in charge now. If I wanted to participate in the new regime in North Carolina, I should change my registration. “And,” he said, “we could use some […]

Sleep On It

Some mornings I wake up, check Twitter, and see the following: “The struggle is live today” or “I’m captain of the struggle bus this morning.” Did you ever think about what is the cause of the struggle? I’ll tell you: insufficient sleep. College students are probably the worst offenders when it comes to not getting […]

A Dangerous Eight Seed

Anyone who was channel surfing last Sunday had to stop and marvel at the Carolina-Miami game and how great that first half was. Even if they didn’t know the teams. That’s how good, and at such a high level, the ACC championship game was played. Both teams scored better than a point per possession, shooting […]

Light Sensitive at Nasher

Immediately upon entering the exhibit, one is greeted by images at once recognizable and disorienting. The photographs in “Light Sensitive” are not merely beautifully captured or distilled moments in time. Rather, they are hyper-consciously manufactured artistic works. In this exhibit the idea of photography as an unbiased portal into reality interacts powerfully with the more […]

The Luck of the Draw

Roy Williams wasn’t thrilled with the ACC's NCAA Tournament draw on Sunday night.

ACCT 2013: This Matters.

Who would say this tournament doesn’t matter? Try finding someone in the Greensboro Coliseum on Saturday afternoon who would tell you this is all just a big “cocktail party.” Not only was Saturday’s content potentially Maryland’s last ACC game ever, but every member of this particular UNC team was fighting to win their first tournament—of […]
