Hello. Gary Lockwood here again with more breakthrough ideas
and information on how to:
Grow your business - Make more money - Have more fun.
Thank you again for referring this newsletter to your friends and
colleagues. I really appreciate you for helping to pass the word
about this newsletter.
"She's a winner!" He's a real loser".
We frequently hear people labeled as winners or losers. We seem
to instinctively know the difference.
Many years ago, I saved a poem that discusses the difference
between winners and losers. I don't know who wrote it, but I'll tip
my hat to her or him, because the poem captured the essence of
character that distinguishes winners from losers.
I'm sharing this inspiring piece with you in today's issue. Enjoy!
My hope is that you use the ideas and information in these
BizSuccess Breakthroughs broadcasts to get the results you really
want.
If you want some help in putting them into practice, or if you
have questions, email or call me.
FYI... I've just read a great new book on how to get and *keep*
online customers. The book is "E-SERVICE: 24 Ways to Keep
Your Customer -- When the Competition Is Just a Click Away,"
by Ron Zemke and Tom Connellan (AMACOM Books)
Cyber-enthusiasts who think the Internet is a shopping paradise
for consumers and a gold mine for e-sellers might consider these
hard numbers:
* 63% of all online shopping carts are abandoned before checkout.
* 50% of Web shoppers give a site only one chance.
* Dissatisfied online customers tell twice as many people
about their experience as do satisfied ones -- and are four times
more likely to spread the word in a chat.
Authors Zemke and Connellan are the team that created the best-
selling "Knock Your Socks Off Service." Zemke and Connellan
are world-class experts on customer care. For this book they
visited hundreds of Web sites and conducted dozens of focus
groups with real e-customers. In their research, they found out
what works -- and what doesn't -- in getting customers to a
site, and getting them back.
I especially liked the checklists and practical suggestions for
raising your "ETDBW" (easy-to-do-business-with) quotient.
I found dozens of examples of what to do and what *not* to do
to increase sales, retention and improve "end-to-end" service.

THIS ISSUE'S MESSAGE
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Winners and Losers
"She's a winner!" He's a real loser". We frequently hear
people
labeled as winners or losers. We seem to instinctively know the
difference.
Many years ago, I saved a poem that discusses the difference
between winners and losers. I don't know who wrote it, but I'll tip
my hat to her or him, because the poem captured the essence of
character that distinguishes winners from losers.
BE A WINNER!
Right here in the title is an acknowledgment of what most people
want. To be a winner. To feel like a winner.
Winners make commitments
Losers make promises
While some people do treat their promises as commitments,
many make empty promises knowing that they may not
actually perform. When winners make a commitment, you can
count on them to come through.
Winners go through a problem
Losers go around it, never get past it
When encountering a problem, don't just work around it this
one time. Solve the problem then keep going to solve the
source of the problem.
Winners say, "Let's find out"
Losers say, "Nobody knows"
An insatiable curiosity allows winners to explore the source of
opportunities as well as the source of problems. Genuine
curiosity about other people is one of the secrets to increasing
sales, improving service and strengthening relationships.
Winners always have a plan
Losers always have an excuse
Have you noticed that successful people seem to know where
they're going and what they want? The process of thinking
through the issue of what's important, allows the winners to
keep a clear vision of the future and outline a path to get there.
Winners say "There's a better way"
Losers say, "It's the way it's always been done"
Continuous improvement is a hallmark of successful people.
Losers just keep on doing the same old things yet they expect
different results.
Winners are always involved in the answer
Losers are always part of the problem
Winners are not whiners. Instead of complaining about a
problem, winners jump in looking for a solution. No blame, no
pointing fingers, no belly-aching.
Winners know there is still much to learn
Losers want to be considered an expert before knowing
how little is known
We've all encountered people who want to be "the expert",
even though their expertise is out-of-date, incomplete, or
overestimated.
Winners understand that, to be valuable to clients, they must
constantly explore the limits of their knowledge.
Winners learn from their mistakes
Losers learn only not to make mistakes
by not trying anything different
Winners are opportunistic about learning from daily exper-
iences. Losers ignore them and surf the shallow surface of
their knowledge. Winners understand that learning in today's
fast-paced environment can't be left to chance.
There you have it. To me, the poem addresses the fund-
amental qualities of being a winner. It captures the spirit of
open-mindness, strength and compassion that makes
winners and winning attractive.
Be a winner!

QUOTES To Get You Thinking
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If you think in terms of a year, plant a seed;
if in terms of ten years, plant trees;
if in terms of 100 years, teach the people
Confucius
Anyone can carry his burden, however hard, until nightfall.
Anyone can do his work, however hard, for one day.
Anyone can live sweetly, patiently, lovingly, purely, until
the
sun goes down.
And this is all that life really means.
Robert Louis Stevenson
One sees great things from the valley;
Only small things from the peak.
G.K. Chesterton (1874-1936) British Writer
A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds.
Francis Bacon (1561-1626) English philosopher

Some Thoughts for the Day
What's the difference between the Pope and your boss?
The Pope only expects you to kiss his ring.
My mind works like lightning. One brilliant flash and it is gone.
Never trust a stockbroker who's married to a travel agent.
The only time the world beats a path to your door is if you're in
the bathroom.
It used to be only death and taxes were inevitable. Now, of
course, there's shipping and handling, too.
A Husband Is Someone Who Takes Out The Trash And Gives The
Impression He Just Cleaned The Whole House
If we are what we eat, then I'm easy, fast, and cheap.
My next house will have no kitchen --- just vending machines.
The only thing wrong with a perfect drive to work is that you end
up at work.
Americans are getting stronger. Twenty years ago, it took two
people to carry ten dollars' worth of groceries. Today, a
five-year-old can do it.
Sally told her friend, "I was worried that my mechanic might try
to rip me off, so I was relieved when he told me all I needed was
blinker fluid."
A government worker is like a shotgun with a broken firing pin --
It won't work and you can't fire it.
I'm so depressed... I went to the Dr. today and he refused to
write me a prescription for Viagra. Said it would be like
putting a new flagpole on a condemned building
