This weeks readings and videos were pretty good and the one that stuck out to me a lot was the video on increasing your likeability. It's funny how simple the concepts were that Guy talked about. Improving your smile, having a good hand shake, and dressing for a tie. These are simple things but are VASTLY overlooked by many. I am shocked at how many grown men give me the dead fish handshake. First impressions really are everything and it is very easy to make a good one by having a great hand shake. I have even met people of influence and when I shake their hand I am instantly disappointed to find that they have a mediocre hand shake. I have found myself saying, "wow, how did they get to the top with  a wimpy handshake like that." Maybe I just have a weird little pet peeve and I am over exaggerating but there are enough people that mention that I don't believe I am alone in this. I remember being taught how to shake hands by a cub scout leader and have never forgotten that lesson. Weirdly enough I have received several compliments on my hand shake and even had a friend of mine interview me because of it. She was doing some sort of paper on human relationships....
The $100 challenge is coming along pretty good. I don't have a great deal to report this week as I didn't have a lot of time to get out and push the business but I always like to have plenty of time to mull over a business idea before putting it out in the public. I am feeling very confident about the idea and pricing now and next week I should be able to make a big marketing push.
