You’re Losing Money Because You Sleep To Much
How much sleep do you get? Have you noticed that some of the most successful people today only sleep 5-6 hours max. (Donald Trump only sleeps 4-5 hours night, there must be a reason behind this madness)
So this brings up the question, how much sleep should you get to keep healthy? This question has been argued time & time again. Some people/doctors suggest 8 hours for an adult, while others suggest 6 is more then enough. Either way, when you really start to think about it, do you really get more then 6 – 7 hours of sleep a night anyway? I don’t know about you, but I usually read a little, followed by some tossing and turning, and then finally I pass out. When morning comes around, I’m like a dead log not wanting to move. It usually takes at least 30 minutes to crawl out of the sheets. (all in all, that’s about 1-2 hours of wasted time just trying to fall asleep)
Anyway, this has led me to try changing my schedule around. I really want to make the most of my days and not waste any time. We have more then enough time to sleep when we’re dead. So here are some new rules I set for myself…
No matter what, my alarm is set to 6am and I’m on the computer by 6:30am latest. This is everyday, including weekends. There is no rule when I have to go to bed although I aim for midnight. If I get less then 6 hours sleep because I had a later then usual night….I’ll still get up in the morning at 6am and just go to sleep that night a little earlier when my eyes start shutting on me. (But no matter what, the alarm is always set to 6am)
Want to know something? I feel great with this new schedule. I think the quality of sleep I get is also MUCH better now. I’m so exhausted by the time midnight approaches, my body goes into a deep sleep the second I lay my head down. When 6am rolls around, my body feels so well rested that I jump out of bed ready to start my day…no “dead log” syndrome. BUT WAIT, that’s not all….I have also seen a HUGE increase in the amount of work I accomplish in a day. I don’t know if it’s the extra time, or the fact that there are fewer distractions at 6am, but whatever it is, it’s working.
Now think about this for a min…
If you were to add just one hour more to your working day, that equals 9 full 40 hour weeks at the end of the year. How much do you currently earn per hour? How much more would you earn with this new additional time added to your day? Do the math: (Hourly pay) x 40 hours x 9 weeks = ? Not bad eh?
Conclusion: Sleep less, feel better and make more money.

Why You Should Never Compete On Price
As a small business, trying to play the low price game is a losing strategy, yet ironically that is the strategy so many small business owners start out with. This is a fear based strategy which is the first sign that it is the wrong one for small businesses. A flourishing business does not operate with a fear mindset. It runs on a plan of positive self expectancy and of wealth creation and charges full price for its value. By utilizing the following six steps your company can start to flourish too by maximizing your profit margins and not succumbing to the temptation of useless and many times dooming price cuts.
1. Don’t be afraid to charge what you are you worth.
The old saying, “You get what you pay for,” is a commonly held truism. And perception is reality when it comes to marketing your business’s products and services. A flourishing business centers its strategy on value, and value by its very nature has a high price tag. When people see a high value, they expect to see a high price. If you looked at a Mercedes and then saw an unusually low price tag on it, they would immediately think, “What’s wrong with it?” So, if you proceed to tout all the great benefits of your product or service, your superiority to your competitors and your high quality or service and then slap a low price on it, you are planting this same question in your customer’s minds. What’s wrong with it? Contrast that with using a high price to differentiate yourself in a crowded marketplace, causing you to stand out and have people thinking, “I wonder why they are so expensive, they must be really good.” By discounting your price, you are sending the message to your customers and potential customers that your value is that of a jalopy not a Mercedes.
