It doesn't matter the modality being used for change it will not work for everyone.

Re: How to Handle a Customer That Won’t Pay

Adalia John — Thu, 17 Apr 2014 22:00:18 -0000

Excellent tips. It's in the business owner's best interest to first work with the customer to resolve the non-payment issue. It's cheaper to retain a customer than acquire a new one.

Re: How to write a proposal that closes the deal

Adalia John — Thu, 01 Aug 2013 11:33:18 -0000

Inspiring post ... I reflected on my most recent client proposal and
realized that intuitively I did somethings right. Now I know the
benefits and will do them consistently. You gave me a new perspective,
the importance of the client proposal. I learned a lot from this post
and will be bookmarking it for future reference.

Hello Donna,

Thanks for sharing. I am proud to say I am not guilty of any of the above. I don't request friends without adding other information such as: why I'm interested in the friendship etc. I never post and run, except I have only just recently begun to subscribe to the follow-up comments of the posts I commented on. I was concerned about e-mail overload. I do a pretty good job of promoting others. And I am looking forward to my first complaint.

Thanks for these important reminders.

Absolutely correct, focus on changing the things you can and ignore the rest. One of my many mantras"if you have done your 100% and it does not go your way, you are on the wrong highway and the universe has something else in mind for you." Surrender and embrace it.

Re: #Blogging Basics: Editing is Evil But Necessary in Blogging

Adalia John — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 00:45:42 -0000

Great Tips ... I will not bore you with the times I have posted and then later discover an error. I was using After the Deadline and it was creating some problems for me in Chrome, so I disconnected it. I think I will give it another go because as I recall, it did some good. Like you, I try to go back to my old posts and edit ... unbelievable the things I have found. This was genius of an idea to tailor your posts to one topic ... a topic that is a magnet for connecting and commenting.

Continued success

Re: Healthcare and Social Media: Bringing the Focus Back to the Patient

Adalia John — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 01:55:05 -0000

Thanks for your insightful info. Social Media is here to stay ( my personal belief) - I imagine, when the telephone was first invented, there were those who felt it would take away from the personal one on one contact, and to some degree it did but the benefits far out weighed the negatives. The telephone changed the world and our ability to communicate quickly and easily with those near and far. Social Media is an extension of that. In time, we will all ( including the medical field) make adjustments - more sophisticated applications for privacy and security will be implemented. Look at the progression of the telephone, pager etc. In a few years Social Media, like all other forms of communication, will be no big deal.

Re: Get Your Message Out

Adalia John — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 19:46:05 -0000

Very informative post. Business owners who are not marketing themselves via social media - is akin to the business person who, back in the 1800s, did not think it necessary to have a telephone for their business success. Social Media is here to stay, it's part of the new frontier of transparency, connectivity and collaboration.

Re: Trying To Find Your True Self? Careful What You Wish For

Adalia John — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 15:34:01 -0000

I really enjoyed this post...It's took me and held me in its magnetic grip. Yes, if we set out to find ourselves...we become the proverbial dog chasing its tail. What we are looking for is inside of us. We are not seeing it because we are expecting it to come from some place else. That's is why - like you did with your daughter - sometimes, an intuitive observer, can help you see that which is being over looked by you...your brilliance.

Re: 3 Wisdom Tips To Master Your Coaching Business

Adalia John — Sun, 06 Jun 2010 18:13:32 -0000

I agree with you on all points especially focus...So many entrepreneurs, coaches get sucked into a black hole on the information highway, Whew!! My daughter is a musician and she will obsesses and obsesses some more over her lyrics, her arrangement and whatever else musicians do and 6 months later it's unfinished and she has moved on to something else. I have told her time and time again a piece of art is never completed, you have to know when to let it go.
Great points. Continued success.

Re: How an Offline Event Helped Me Experience a Major Breakthrough

Adalia John — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 04:34:56 -0000

One of my dad's favorite idiom was " one's man's meat is another man's poison or something along those lines. Everyone is entitled to his or her opinion and that should be respected. For those who did not like "Shine." - it just not live up to their expectations and for those who did like it ... it lived up to their expectations. Both opinions are correct - it is, after all, an opinion ... not a scientific conclusion. Lets celebrate the fact that we can agree to disagree and that we have the freedom to express ourselves freely and openly. At the end of the day - appreciated or not - Ali Brown, will continue on her journey, to create the vision she has for her life.

Re: Small Businesses Speak Out on Healthcare

Adalia John — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 03:31:49 -0000

It's complicated. My son is a supervisor at a huge health care provider and he says "mom, I don't know how they are going to make this better." Something needs to be done but I do not know the answer. You cannot force doctors to give their service for free. They went to school, after all, to live a somewhat posh life style. The pharmaceutical companies have to answer to their share holders - it's the bottom line. AND for someone like me who had breast cancer, I know what it like to come face to face with the stark reality of being uninsured - I may not be able to purchase insurance for another seven years or more. Sometimes, some change is better than no change - you get to see works and what doesn't. However, politics become more important than real life solutions.

Excellent idea. Thanks for reminding me. About three months ago I was attending several live events per month. I have been allowing myself to become too focused on other things. I needed that reminder.

Re: Women Rule the Social Web

Adalia John — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 22:18:49 -0000

Great article. Being a female entrepreneur, I am thrilled and delighted that women are taking social media by storm. Yes, women are more social and in general they have always been more comfortable being transparent about personal and intimate issues - they are now doing on line what they have been doing off line - sharing and making themselves vulnerable.

Your quotes were helpful. I use the Confucius quote on my blog. My post gives six tips for starting an online business, not from someone who is an expert, because I am not. But from the point of view of a novice.

Talk about false sense of moving forward only to look around and find yourself in the same place. I agree completely with this article and interesting choice of words - it makes it more thought provoking.
