The Two Magic Powers | Frank Kern Internet Marketing:
Occasionally, the unthinkable occurs.
I run out of the trash-fiction that I like to read – and as a last resort, I pick up “emergency reading material” like Oprah Magazine. (My wife gets it. Not me! I swear! I only read manly stuff like “Liquor Soaked Brawler’s Digest”.)
And usually, like I do with all magazines, I just like to read the ads. I was about 78 pages into it when, for some reason, I started reading an actual article about successful women.
And that’s when an amazing lady jumped out of the page at me. Her name is Madam C.J. Walker and here she is: And let me tell you, this lady could have
… Kicked All Of Our Asses …Combined!
Here’s why: First, the article in Oprah didn’t say much about her except that she became extremely successful selling hair products door-to-door.
All I can really remember is it had her picture and then it mentioned her success. Now, being a former door-to-door man myself, I decided to check her out.
Here’s what I found: First, she was born in Louisiana. On a farm. In 1865. Not really an ideal time and place to be born if you’re: 1. A woman.
2. African American.
But she had plenty of additional challenges to face. She was an orphan at age seven. At age 14, she got married …reportedly to escape the abuse that she was suffering at the hands of her brother-in-law.
She became a mother at age 17, and a widow at age 20. She supported herself and her daughter by picking cotton on a farm, by being a laundress, and by working in a barber shop.
From what I can tell, the most she ever made during that time was $1.50 a day. But It Got Worse At around 25 years old, she began to develop a a condition that caused her to start balding. Can you imagine? As if she didn’t have enough to deal with
…now the poor lady’s hair is falling out. (And we whine when our cell phone drops a call every now and then… kind of embarrassing.)
Anyway … Here’s Where It Gets Good It shouldn’t surprise you that she quickly became a student of “how to fix this damned balding problem”. In fact, she researched all kinds of treatments, and eventually discovered that sulfur could abolish the scalp disease that was causing people to lose their hair.
(Apparently, people lost their hair a lot back then because they didn’t bathe as much. They would get some nasty scalp infection and their hair would fall out. But if you treated the problem with sulfur, you could knock it out.)
Sometimes stress gets the better of us and we loose our cool. Here are some of the practical ways to maintain a cooler head. To get the best results use some of the suggestions given. Most people tend to read a lot and do very little and feel frustrated that nothing is working. well, you have to use it for it to work…. so go and try some of these and tell me how it works!
How to Keep a Cool Head:
5 tips to keep you calm, unruffled, and effective even when life gets tough How to Keep a Cool Head “How to Keep a Cool Head” courtesy of geoftheref “They called me ‘Mr Cool’. I was the guy that diffused live bombs. I was totally calm, detached, and professional before, during, and after an operation. But all I can say is I’ve lost my cool.” I was intrigued. It didn’t look as if a bomb had actually gone off anywhere near him. “So what happened, Ron? What changed? How did you lose that cool?” “I know exactly what happened!” Ron looked angry. “I went to couple therapy with my wife, as we were having difficulties. The therapist decided I needed to get in touch with my feelings. We both told her that wasn’t really the issue. Anyway, I got so in touch with my feelings that I couldn’t continue to do the job I loved. I need to work again and I need my cool head back; at least when I’m working.”
Lots of people suffer with low self confidence, not because they are born that way but because they always watch TV which builds up this really bad image of themselves in hopes of making them buy more of the silly stuff they are selling. So how do you get out of such a viscous cycle?
Stop watching TV for a while and read some god books instead.

Nordstorms has many legends associated with its service. But is it true anymore? You decide. Now the article below is more liek a gateway to expand your thinking, not a judgment. so Keep an open eye.
Customer Service Legends – Is Nordstrom Still Nordstrom?:
I was having a delightful conversation with a client the other day when she mentioned that she and her semi-rural neighbors “Think nothing of driving an hour or an hour and a half to get to a Nordstrom store.” The reason: “We know we’ll be treated right when we arrive, unlike what happens when we visit local retailers.” I smiled broadly but invisibly because we were chatting over the phone. She was unwittingly adding to the “Nordstrom Legend.” Lots of folks do that. Yes, compared to her local retailers, those hard working but rather unpolished Mom & Pops, Nordstrom is still a refreshing oasis in the Sahara. But in my view, it is not as sharp as it was in providing expert service, and it was probably never as Olympian as its legend represented.
