the part-time people

DeBarrie's Stationery Store needed help again. Somehow, the part-time people never worked out. It was a problem. One after another, the part-time people came and went, and sometimes, nobody ever found out what happened to them. The newest one seemed even more hopeless than usual. His job application announced "there's a man who follows me around and ruins everything I try to do". 

How to Maximize Your Potential

I want to talk to you today about maximizing your potential. The thing about maximizing means, you want to make the most of it, so you want to have the biggest potential that you can. And a potential is a ability to do something. So the first thing you have to do is decide, what is it that you want to have the potential for. Now, I know, most people are going to say right off, making money! Well, I can't help you with that because I don't really know anything about making money. I do know about potential, however, because I do have the ability to do things. Now, the one thing you want to know about maximizing your potential is, you don't want to waste it. So you don't want to be using it, you want to be storing it up. and the more you store up, the more you have. So, if you're going to have the most potential possible, you have to be sure not to use it ever. You just want to not do the thing that you want to have the ability to do. Are you following me here? I know it's kind of tricky. Because the potential is not .. doing, it's having the ability to maybe possibly do at some time. So if you really want to maximize all of your potentials, you want to make sure that you never actually do anything. It's like money. If you don't spend it, then you don't lose it and that's how you maximize, by holding on and keeping it all for yourself and don't give any of it away. You don't want to be wasting that potential! You want to be maximizing it!

the truth is in the cloud

conversion rates

according to our sales guys, about out 1 of every 3 opportunities bears fruit, turns from a lead into a sale. in that case, it's pretty good that my conversion rate on audiobooks is around 1 out of every 2 who start listening, finish listening.

today i am uploading the newest audio book - Snapdragon Alley - recorded yesterday in the shack in the back. it'll go live sometime in the next few weeks.

Plan to do Freak City next, maybe tomorrow, and then Bobby and the Bedouins, perhaps next weekend (Thanksgiving) - if I am lucky to get the time and opportunity.
