6 Life Lessons I Learned This Week

2009-06-06 | Filed Under Melodee's Musings |

It’s been a busy week, but, as usual, I’ve learned some important life lessons along the way. Here are a few of them:

  1. Exercise can help stave off Parkinson’s disease (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/parkinsons/)
  2. Before sending a wire transfer, make sure the receiving bank accepts wire transfers – not all small banks do.
  3. Clearing off my desk at the end of the day makes the next morning more enjoyable.
  4. If I don’t schedule time to write and post my blog, it won’t happen.
  5. To end wrist pain from too much non-ergonomic “mousing”, rest the base of your palm – not your wrist – on the wrist pad.(http://www.yorku.ca/dohs/ergonomics/mousewristrest.htm)
  6. Pacemakers are good things.

What life lessons did you learn this past week?

    I was at FoVA yesterday, so I learned quite a bit. Here’s a sample…

    1 – Your marketing budget should be 5-10% of your sales goal.

    2 – The most effective testimonials are those that show measurable results.

    3 – Clients prefer packages rather than hourly rates because they know exactly what they’ll get and how much it will cost.

    4 – Creating an operations manual for my business is no more complicated than what I’ve done in my past jobs.

    Those are some great lessons, Janet! #4 is something I really need to do…one of these days…when I have time :-)
