Asking For Payment
It’s important to pay for products and services we buy. We agree a price, use the product or service and then pay for it.
Equally, when we provide the product or service, we should be confident and ask for the sale or payment. We should ask with the expectation of prompt payment just as we would pay promptly if we were on they other side of the trade.
We would feel like a thief if we did not pay for something we acquired. Just as we would feel like we had something stolen from us if we delivered and we’re not paid.
Sometimes people forget to pay. So we must remind them. For their sake, and our own. And do it right away. It can get embarrassing if we have to chase someone down the street for payment. It’s awkward on both sides. Don’t let that happen.
Most people are honest and willing to pay. When you don’t remind them to pay, they could feel like a lesser person when they do remember. Make sure you give them every opportunity to feel good about buying, and paying for, your product or service, by asking for payment.

The Lesson Will Repeat Itself Until You Learn It. @steven
Loving this!! Thank you Steven Bartlett for the title. (The Diary Of A CEO)
We all have lessons that keep repeating and we get outcomes we don’t necessarily want.
We can change this. We can learn the lessons. We can make the changes and say No More!
We haven’t learned the lessons because it’s not convenient, easy, or comfortable. They are habits we created. But we can create other ones. It takes work to adjust these habits. We need Discipline, Effort, and Desire to have better outcomes.
No longer do we have to say “Why does this always happen to me?” Or “Isn’t that typical” or even “I knew that would happen”.
Change our ways today and get better results tomorrow. Live a better life with just some simple changes in how we think and do.
We can set up our environment to win. We can set up our schedule to win. We can start today.
Learn the lessons the feedback is giving you. And then make the adjustments. Yes, it will feel odd at first, but it will get easier and your results will be much better.
Start now!

Rainy Days
These can be just as wonderful as sunny days. They are just different. And it depends what you’re doing. Enjoy both!
Today’s note was inspired by our wonderful stay at Withyfield Cottage at Merrion Farm. A mix of sun and rain, and good timing, helped make this an excellent time away.

Keep Your Thoughts Positive
When times are tough, we may think of the worst case scenario or even a disaster scenario. Remember this is not happening to you. It is just your mind being active with negative thoughts. So, as hard as it may be, focus on positive outcomes, wins and victory. Feel this as if they are real.
As neither are real, you may as well give yourself the feeling of the positive thoughts. Train your brain. It’s worth it.

Forget History And Move On
We don’t need to know how you got here. We do need to decide where to go from here.
Sometimes people will spend two hours explaining how they got into a mess or a situation. Usually, what would be more helpful is spending that two hours devising a plan to move forward.
Focus on building a brilliant future. Then get on with it.

Put Some Effort In
Stop coasting. You may be drifting or having an easy life. But it’s time to snap out of it and start putting some extra effort in.
Make hay while the sun shines. You won’t be young and healthy forever so get that income while you can. Build your emergency fund. Pay down debt. Feel better about your personal awareness and control of the situation.
You will develop a greater sense of pride and confidence. Build on that. Take your life to the next level. Do that by just getting started and making things happen.
