“The Right LUBE For Social Intercourse”

Happy Halloween! I’ve got a slightly spooky but mainly naughty article for you today!

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to forget the little things that make life pleasant. Yet, these small, seemingly insignificant gestures—like saying hello, goodbye, please, thank you, and the acts of simply smiling and engaging in good conversation—can have powerfully pleasant impacts on you and everyone around you.

Social Lube: Making it More Sticky AND Slippery?

It has been said that the exchange of simple pleasantries is the glue that holds our social interactions together and makes your environment nicer to be in. It has also been said that these simple acts are often referred to as “social lubricants,” and they are crucial for fostering smoother, more enjoyable relationships, both personally and professionally. 

That means that this stuff makes things both sticky (glue) and slippery (lube). Keep your head out of the gutter! So when we consistently practice them, not only do we improve our relationships, we also elevate the overall atmosphere around us. This article will explore the importance of these simple acts, the pleasure they bring, and how they can make both your world and the world a better place!

And it’s even worse when you realize that those who have been lying to YOU have been lying to everyone else! Who are these liars? Well, it shouldn’t surprise you that this list includes: The media, politicians, major corporations, your teachers from school, and even your own parents!

“If You Want To Be RICH, Then Think Like THIS”

If you’re like most people, you have a problem. Every month, you have these things to pay called bills. We all know they suck. And the bills we pay are only getting higher and higher every month, due to inflation, the economy, and several other factors. At the end of the month, too many people have more month than money left. They’re just scraping by, and many statistics show that they’re just one little $500 emergency away from being in a truly desperate situation.

At the same time, most people are too lazy, busy, or just incompetent to realize how bad they’re doing financially. Or maybe they just don’t see a way out of their financial straits. And rather than try to figure out a way to do something productive, they turn to the escapism of alcohol, drugs, gambling, or just binging Netflix. It used to be that people in that situation would just go out and get another job, but it seems that an increasing number of folks are too lazy to do even that. Like most things, I blame Covid.

If you’re reading this, you’re probably not like ‘most people,’ but maybe you can relate to what I’m talking about here in some way. Most of us have all been broke or have experienced financial hardship in our lives at some point. It’s important to remember what that felt like and use it for motivation when needed.

But if you don’t want to stay stuck on broke, then listen up! What you’re about to learn here can and should change the way you look at and think about a LOT of things – especially as they apply to business… Especially the real estate business. This valuable lesson will really help hammer home the important way of thinking and approaching just about any situation you encounter in business. And although I’ve written about some of this stuff before, I wanted to bring it back even stronger, because it’s really that important! Are you ready? Here we go…
