Law of Value:
Give more in value than what you take in payment. There is a difference in price and value. Value is relevant worth and then you male great profit. This also gives you peace of mind. We want to give our customers so much more in value than we take in payment. Value is through the focus on them. The higher they perceive the value then they will exchange their goods.
Law of Compensation: How many you serve and how well you serve them will determine the amount you earn. You need to have significant reach.
Law of Influence:
Put others peoples interests first. This is the golden rule of networking.
Make sure things are win win mutually beneficial
Follow Systems:
You need to follow systems process of achieving a good base on simple how to logic. Bottom line you do business with who you know like and trust.
Networking always leave somebody feeling good.
Let people talk about themselves.
When you are telling you are not selling.
Ask feel good questions like: How did you get started in your business? Then authentically listen.
What do you enjoy most about what you do?
One key question: How can I tell who would be a good prospect for you
Talk about the following:
Family, Occupation, Recreation, and their special interests charity, sports ect…
Other Suggestions:
Have note pads on hand to pass out to customers.
Hand write cards with a color picture on it sent to people you meet.
Publish something!
Law of Authenticity:
Giving of yourself from who you truly are. A lot of times we don’t value ourselves with our true value. Assess your true value. “Wise person will learn from others.” Learn from others but don’t adapt their personality. Adapt not adopt.
Law of Receptivity:
Open to receiving you need to work on both of them at the same time. Giving and receiving in tandem.
Communication:
Mighty is the person who can control their emotion and make a enemy into a friend. We have a choice to react or respond.
Great eight words to use in customer service: If you can’t do it I will definitely understand. If you could do it I would greatly appreciate it. Don’t get yourself in any hot water over it.
Tact is the language of strength
How to say NO!
Thank you for asking but that is not something I choose to do right now. I am honored you thought to ask me but that is not something I choose to do. Please think of me in the future.
Customer Service: Say Thank You and response My Pleasure
Excellence, Consistency, Attention, and Empathy.
Say good Morning, Good Afternoon, Good Evening
Deflection or Persuasion:
I appreciate you coming to me with this problem I have great respect for _______. I will have to look into it.
Law Of Left Field: Gifts will come from left field. Golden Opportunities will come that way also. Benevolence will come from your influence.

Our Family
I was recently asked about our family.So I thought I would do a little write up on it.
Steve is the father and daddy to three beautiful children and Sherri is the mommy. They have been married 16 years. May is their oldest daughter 14 and is very talented in acting and playing her piano. She is also very academic, but we don't want it to get to her head. Sam is their oldest son 13. He likes science,expierments,and slimey creatures. He is also very smart, but we don't want that to go to his head. .Jeremiah is 4. He is the youngest in our family and came to us last year from Haiti. Our adoption was finalized Dec 2, 2010. He is very smart and has learned English very quickly. He also is very cute, but we don't want that to go to his head.
We have lived in Nampa for 6 years and really enjoy living here. Steve is a peds nurse at St. Luke's hospital. Sherri is a full time mom and a part time Sales rep for Copies Plus in Nampa.
Sincerely,
Sherri Swihart

Jeremie's first Christmas in the US
Jeremie's first Christmas was exciting. He learned about Santa Clause and Baby Jesus. We saw a man at the pizza place who looked like Santa. He crawled up in his lap and said he wanted presents. Very cute. The concept of taking turns has been a hard lesson the past two months. He is starting to get it.

Changes / Mind Dump
I need to be away like a piece of drift wood on a calm lake until I get my roots set down. This Summer has been so busy and the Fall is settling down to where my head is back on straight and level.Work is great and a wonderful fulfillment. I love to find ways to save clients money and make their life a little easier.
Before I know it Steve will be fund raising for his trip back to Haiti in Feb.
We are looking into our second adoption. I hope the possibility will give birth.I'm not sure exactly what that looks like quite yet.
I'm so looking forward to Thanksgiving. Meeting my little nieces I haven't seen yet. I feel like the next time I see them will be 1st grade. i will enjoy the family chaos for the holiday though and I'm looking forward to it.
Well Steve is off to a writing class so I need to start dinner.
Mom's work is never done.

Jealousy This one was in a diary from 09.
Today, I was confronted with my jealousy. Yes, I envied someone else who was getting an opportunity to meet someone I really want to meet. The thing of the matter was I really felt that at the time they didn’t appreciate the opportunity. I really wanted the best for all parties. When a good friend pointed this out to me: I at first was shocked they did it in front of friends. Then I wanted to defend myself and released and let go for there was no reason to defend. The feeling I’m now sitting here with is wondering about the jealousy and telling my friend to confront me in a more one on one setting. I’m always open to the input. Even this seems like a oxymoron welcome the input but only in a personal setting or what’s comfortable. I crack myself up!

Unexpected Blessings
I woke the other day thinking it was going to be a normal day. Normal, what is that anyway? Well, truthfully a little late. So we were in the race against time a bit.Jeremie and I were headed over to spend a little time at his new preschool. We wanted to see how he would do.
Right away he started playing with the toys and the other kids.One little boy was very cute in asking why he was black. I said he was born that way. He continued to tell me we are all born and you could see the wheels turning in his head processing why Jeremie was black. Music time started and he sat with the other children. He was doing so well. I was practically kicked out to go do something else.
Proceeding to the car. I thought about the last few taxing months and how I haven't had alone time in awhile.I decided to go to downtown Nampa and sit and have coffee. I went into one of our little tea shops Cafe De Coco in a little quite corner to myself.The shop was empty and very quite. I sat reflecting still on the past few months and started counting the blessings. I am truly in awe and then some.....
I wonder if we ever sit down and slow life down to really count our blessings.
I started to write all the blessings and my hand got cramped and I don't dare try to type them all either. I did have a full page on a hand written piece of paper.
I dare you to write them all down.
