Other Added - The Truth About Negative Commands (Don't Read This!)
If you invest in tax lien certificates, there are certain things that you need to do in order to keep your investment profitable. By automating your business, you won’t miss any deadlines that might reduce your profit on your tax lien portfolio. You must keep track of when you bought your tax lien certificate, when subsequent tax payments are due, and when the redemption period ends. You will also need a system for recording liens with the county, sending out 30 day notices at the end of the redemption period, sending out requests to tax collectors for taxes due and tracking the profitability of your liens.Let’s start from the beginning. Be
I'll admit, it takes some creative thinking, and it's a learning process to overcome the overwhelming cultural training we have all been living with!
However, by becoming aware, I am gradually learning how to choose my words more carefully and achieving greater results!
For instance:
- Instead of "Don't miss [fill in the blank]!" you can say "Take advantage of [fill in the blank]!" or "Get in on [fill in the blank]!"
- Instead of "Don't Delay!" you can say "Hurry!" or "Act Now!" or "Take Immediate Action!"
- Instead of "Don't forget to be there!" you can say "Be there!" or "Remember to be there!"

Comparisons of XsitePro to Site Build It is one of the more common discussion topics on the XSitePro User forum. So I thought I would share my experiences on porting my 3 year old SBI site to XSitePro.Before I start I should say that I think that Site Build It (SBI) is great. There is no better way into internet marketing and web site development while avoiding the pain of learning HTML. SBI is much more than a site building tool - it is a whole suite of research, analysis, interaction and web development tools. But you only get to build one site for your money. In my experience, once you have been bitten by the internet bug you want to bui
This is because I understand something that many others do NOT!
And, since learning what I now understand, while I am BOMBARDED every day from all directions with commands like those listed below, in all their variations, I feel worse and worse for not speaking up!
I feel especially badly for all those advertisers out there who are ignorant about this, because I also realize they are often sincerely excited about what they are sharing and are working very hard to attract the attention of others.
Examples:
- Don't miss this [fill in the blank]!
- Don't delay!
- Don't forget to be there!
- Don't forget to stop and buy milk [or pick up the dry cleaning -- fill in the blank]!
- Do not forget to be on time!
- You can't miss out on this opportunity!
- Don't be afraid to ASK!
- Would you like to [fill in the blank]? If so, don't wait another minute! Order Your [fill in the blank] NOW!
- Don't Live With Depression [fill in the blank]
And so on...
This is because your subconscious mind works in strange ways. I learned this while training to become a hypnotherapist.
*********
FACT: Your subconscious mind cannot recognize a negative!
*********
As a result, when a person reads or hears statements similar to the above, their subconscious mind actually understands the command as follows.
Examples:
- Miss this [fill in the blank]!
- Delay!
- Forget to be there!
- Forget to stop and buy milk [or pick up the dry cleaning -- fill in the blank]!
- Forget to be on time!
- Miss out on this opportunity!
- Be afraid to ASK!
- Would you like to [fill in the blank]? If so, WAIT another minute! Order Your [fill in the blank] NOW! (In this case, you might think it's okay because the negative statement is followed by a positive request for action... but keep reading, you'll see how it can be improved!)
- Live With Depression [or, fill in the blank]
Whenever I have tried to explain this to those who use this type of command in their advertising or their everyday language, they ALWAYS say, "I'm trying to create a sense of URGENCY."
But research is absolute on this...
The subconscious mind CANNOT recognize a negative command.
And so, anytime you use a statement that includes a negative command, you are actually giving the OPPOSITE command for the action or results you desire!
This is also why using only positive language in personal growth affirmations and in hypnosis -- whether self-hypnosis or with a trained professional -- is crucial.
It's also important to avoid alternate forms of negative commands, such as the following examples:
- rather than...
- instead of...
- avoid...
- etc.
Always use POSITIVE commands and suggestions!

The stress you feel from dealing with email would be reduced if you improve your email habits, the company email culture, and basic etiquette. You'd leave work earlier too. Here is a list collected from my seminars and an unscientific survey on my Web site.Sending or responding to all to CYA (cover your butt). Stop sending to all if all do not have a need to know. You wanted to make sure you were covered so you’re sending everyone on a list your answer—whether they needed to know or not. Or you’re sending a message to everyone because you’re too lazy to select the appropriate recipients. Hold down your Alt key now and c

Top executives who know only that Six Sigma is famous and popular have called for the implementation of Six Sigma programs, and, of course, want to see numbers. They may become very enamored with the copious numbers that Six Sigma produces. Unfortunately, they may not want to see more than just a series of reports and may not understand that Six Sigma is about so much more than crunching numbers and generating reports.Certainly, Six Sigma is about number crunching. In Six Sigma, first you define your problem and your project, and then you measure your process from start to finish. Six Sigma produces a flood of data about your process. These
