I hope your Memorial Weekend was filled with thanks for the people who have made our incredible country what it is. We are so very blessed.
Wanted to tell you about an amazing eBay seller – John at 3rd Power Outlet. I had emailed him a question about some products that I wanted to purchase…the 1st email response I received was not helpful, vague, and (according to the reply I sent back) made me think that they didn’t want my money. Ah, not so – I received almost immediately a personal email from the head honcho of the company, John. He took the time to apologize for the automated response, validated my frustration, cleared up the misunderstanding AND offered me a great opportunity to still shop with him that I couldn’t pass up. I was VERY impressed with how John handled his customer service. This message in a newsletter that goes out to tens of thousands of people could have included just the beginning tale if John hadn’t Chose Success and interceded. He knows his goal for his business is to make money and he brilliantly protected his investment by investing a bit of time with a customer. HUGE kudos John for some very impressive and empowering customer retention work you did today (and on a holiday too!).
If you ever want to shop with an incredible eBay seller who will take excellent care of you and your purchases, definitely head over to 3rd Power Outlet and see what John has for sale today (among alot of cool bling and outdoor items and athletic gear and biker items, he also has some wonderful pink breast cancer products as well). He rocks!

Weekly Wealth Tip
“What we ponder and what we think about sets the course of our life. Any day we wish; we can discipline ourselves to change it all. Any day we wish, we can open the book that will open our mind to new knowledge. Any day we wish, we can start a new activity. Any day we wish, we can start the process of life change. We can do it immediately, or next week, or next month, or next year.
“We can also do nothing. We can pretend rather than perform. And if the idea of having to change ourselves makes us uncomfortable, we can remain as we are. We can choose rest over labor, entertainment over education, delusion over truth, and doubt over confidence. The choices are ours to make. But while we curse the effect, we continue to nourish the cause. As Shakespeare uniquely observed, “The fault is not in the stars, but in ourselves.” We created our circumstances by our past choices. We have both the ability and the responsibility to make better choices beginning today.”
from Jim Rohn

Four Secrets to Successful Negotiating - by Cliff Ennico
THE Cliff Ennico has done it again – great article on negotiations:
“I have been running a fairly successful business for some time now, but I know I can do better. The problem is that I don’t like to negotiate – I end up giving up way too much because I find the process so unpleasant. Do you have any tips that will make me a more successful negotiator without becoming an S.O.B.?”
Negotiating is one of the three most important business skills (the others are…

New eBay Announcements
- The Seller Dashboard is Here – The new Seller Dashboard is now available to everyone with at least 10 DSR’s. I love this new part of eBay that allows you to see your current account standings including DSR’s, PowerSellers, search standings and more. Check out more information at: http://www2.ebay.com/aw/core/200805.shtml#2008-05-23094928 And see your Seller Dashboard at www.ebay.com/sellerdashboard
- Offer Free Shipping and Get 15% off your Final Value Fees from May 23-June 1 – Although, as the Rock Stars learned through DSR training, offering free shipping alone won’t raise your DSR’s, it can’t hurt! Take advantage of this money back offer from eBay for the next week. See details at http://www2.ebay.com/aw/core/200805.shtml#2008-05-22170559
