The Tissot T-Touch Is The Ideal Watch For Any Outdoorsman

The Tissot T-Touch Is The Ideal Watch For Any Outdoorsman
Every watch has its benefits, but none quite compare to the
Tissot T-Touch. The T-Touch combines an attractive design
with a rugged functionality and impressive technology. The
innovation used on this watch is like no other watch on the
market.

The Tissot T-Touch is one of four watches in the Tactile
family, which also includes the High-T, Silen-T, and the
Tissot Navigator 3000. While each of the four watches is
equally impressive, the T-Touch has numerous benefits that
you will find in no other watch.

One of the greatest benefits that amaze most people at
first site is the touch crystal. There is nothing quite as
annoying as trying to press on a mode button on your watch
and not having it work. With the T-Touch, you can simply
activate the crystal with a button in the center. From
there, you can touch the crystal in one of seven spots to
change the modes.

Another feature that very few watches have is a
thermometer. The range of this watches thermometer is -15
degrees Fahrenheit and 140 degrees Fahrenheit. With this
kind of range, you can view the temperature in virtually
any kind of climate you are in.

Keeping with the outdoor wilderness theme, there is also a
compass that is extremely handy. The built-in compass can
measure magnetic north as well as calculate geographic
north. Never again will you be lost in the woods trying to
find your way.

Two features that go hand-in-hand with each other is the
barometer and the altimeter. The barometer has a range of
300 hectoPascals (hPa) and it is accurate to + or - 3 hPa.
As for the altimeter, the range is -1300 feet to 29,500
feet with a resolution of 3 feet. Just like the
thermometer, this gives you a wide range of altitude that
you can measure with the watch.

Everything mentioned thus far is typically features you
will not find with any other common watch on the market.
There are a number of other features that you will find
with other watches as well. For instance, there is a daily
alarm that is nothing special, but loud and effective.
There is a water resistance of up to 30 meters, luminescent
hands, quartz movement and much more.

There is no question that the Tissot T-Touch is the ideal
watch for any hiker or mountaineer. From the incredible
touch crystal to all of the wilderness features you could
imagine, this is the perfect watch for the outdoors. You
can know the temperature, where you are at, the altitude,
and virtually anything else imaginable. And all of this is
built into one amazing watch.

Sometimes It's Good to be The Bad Boss

Sometimes It's Good to be The Bad Boss
A leader knows that they have matured into the role when he
or she can deliver bad news in a quick and effective
manner, doing little damage, and in fact inspiring positive
action. This takes savoir-faire.

We all have hard news to convey from time to time. How we
do it is oftentimes remembered even more than the message
itself. We can sting, educate or enthuse with the same
message.

CNN ran a story over this past weekend on 'Bad Bosses,'
discussing how few people learn to deal with the power of
being in a 'boss' as they climb the ladder to success. They
told stories of employees suing their bosses and painted a
pretty bleak picture.

Having worked with hundreds of leaders who truly do want to
make a difference in doing their very best for their
employees and company, my experience is quite different.
The challenge is that not all individuals who are promoted
to leadership positions are given the tools to do their new
job.

Those who succeed in leadership positions know that they
are in a sandwich position. They will always have someone
above them stating their expectations and those below them
who they need to motivate, protect, discipline and inspire
all a the same time.

When speaking of stating their expectations or delivering
hard news leaders, often tell me: "I don't want to be the
bad guy." To which I reply: "If you really were the bad
guy, you wouldn't worry about it. The fact that you do,
shows how much you truly care."

Here are six keys to successfully communicating hard news
in a manner that will inspire, not offend:

* Know what you want; know what your specific expectations
are of this employee.

* Begin with questions. The staff member may be one step
ahead of you, waiting for this discussion and may save you
the agony of correcting their actions.

* Know and mirror this person's communication style. If
they are bottom line, be bottom line. If they need more
information or time to digest, provide both.

* Respectfully tell the truth (no sugar coating if
possible.)

* Lead and end with something positive. They'll remember
the hard stuff; give them something else to focus upon as
well.

* Make sure that your point is being both heard and
understood. Oftentimes, the only message that gets across
is: "I messed up; I'm not good enough. I'm going to get
fired." Ask them what they are hearing and what specific
steps they'll take as a result of this discussion. Watch
their body language closely.

If you worry too much about delivering hard news, you may
never get there. Procrastination is a killer to effective
communication as your angst will come out in other ways
such as body language, impatience or vocal tones.

Ultimate good is being served for both you and your
employee.

* You will unfold courage and strength.

* You employee will know their mistakes and be able to
correct. Without your 'being the bad guy,' neither of you
could enjoy this growth opportunity.

On behalf of those whom you lead, be bold enough to be the
'bad guy' the next time you have difficult information to
deliver. This will allow your team to grow, know without
doubt what you expect of them and allow your company to
prosper. What's better than working for a leader you can
trust who will consistently let you know where you stand?
Now that's inspiring! Enjoy your discoveries and have a
great week!

A Simple Solution to Increase Your Sales: Shift From Selling to Serving

A Simple Solution to Increase Your Sales: Shift From Selling to Serving
I used to play small when it came to talking about my
business because I was afraid of sounding "salesy" and then
I discovered the easiest, most-simplest thing I could do to
increase my client numbers - I shifted from selling to
serving. That's right. So much began to happen ... I felt
better about myself, started falling in love with my
business and door upon door opened up with opportunities to
serve the highest good of all: clients who need what I have
to offer AND my business profits. Tapping into your
uniqueness (how you're here to serve) will assist in making
the language of your offer (verbally and on all marketing
materials) easy-breezy!

Here are 5 quick-to-the-point-steps that will help you
shift from selling energy to serving energy (and raise your
business profits!)

Step 1 - You must first become aware of all the qualities,
individualities, expertise, and gifts that YOU offer. The
nitty-gritty bits about who you are and what you do that
truly stand you out from all other entrepreneurs "doing
what you do". There is no need to activate the energy of
competition once you truly tap into your uniqueness.

Simply Put: No One Else Can BE You

Step 2 - Use this awareness to shift from a place of
telling (this is what I do and why you should want what I
have) to a place of being. It allows just-being-who-you-are
to be activated as your main business offering and then
also growth tool - instead of feeling that you have to sell
yourself (convince people that they want what you have).

Step 3 - Develop your own system, program or step-by-step
process. This is what I call your Unique Serving System
(U.S.S.) This gives you language to describe your business
and offering and gives potential clients something to
tangibly grab on to. Connect to your heart when developing
your U.S.S this way you are very clear about your business
as an AUTHENTIC offering.

Step 4 - Appreciate yourself and what you offer. Heck, you
should be proud; you have your OWN system/process/program!
This raises your energy, has you excited about how you're
here to serve your clients and customers and, trust me, is
very attractive!

Step 5 - Become extremely anchored in what makes your U.S.S
- you. Use this anchor as the center to your website,
marketing materials and in all your business conversations.
After all, it's the foundation to your serving.

*** Bonus - Now you no longer find yourself trying to find
the right words to describe who you are and what you do -
whether while speaking or writing about your business. It's
very clear to others what you do and the process you use to
do it!

Call To Action:

1 Make a list of everything you "do" in your business.

2 Take yourself through the steps of what you do when
servicing a client or a customer. Start at the VERY
beginning i.e. in that first meeting or the moment they
land on your website or walk into your story.

3 Condense this into anywhere from 5 to 11 steps.

4 Wahla! You have YOUR Unique Serving System. Get creative.
Find a name for each of the steps and your overall system.
Have fun with this!

Shredders - Which Brands To Consider.

Shredders - Which Brands To Consider.
Shredders are a very useful tool for protecting highly
confidential business information and encouraging the use
of a shredder among your staff, when disposing of sensitive
business information, is an essential activity for any
company. Employers can encourage good and consistent
housekeeping procedures within their companies by outlining
a clear policy for shredding documents and providing your
employees with a high-quality shredder from the wide range
available through ABT that can cater for all shredding
requirements.

Shredders are available at all specification levels and to
suit all possible customer requirements - whether a
shredder is required for low-level personal use in the home
or the continuous shredding of high security documents
within a large business environment.

Shredding machine manufacturers include Dahle, EBA,
Fellowes, GBC, HSM, IDEAL, Intimus, Kobra, Martin Yale and
Schleicher.

There are many different types of shredder, including desk
side paper shredders, small office paper shredders, large
office paper shredders, heavy duty paper shredders,
commercial paper shredders, automatic paper shredders, high
security paper shredders, cardboard shredders, CD, DVD, and
multimedia shredders, A3 paper shredders and large paper
size paper shredders.

With identity theft currently rising on a global scale, no
one can afford to be without a shredder within their home
or office environment.

Personal users should consider that a potential criminal
only needs to gather details of their credit card; address
or bank account just once to commit fraud in their name and
the importance of investing in a quality and reliable paper
shredder at a discount price becomes self-evident.
Investing in a reasonably-priced, small-scale shredder for
personal use will enable everyone in your household to
dispose of confidential documents with ease and ensure that
you and your family are well on the way to being protected
from identity theft or fraud.

So when looking for a brand of shredder, who should you
consider, and what models are available?

Well, IDEAL paper shredders are the perfect option for the
office or company requiring an industrial shredder. There
are around 50 models. IDEAL paper shredders come as either
cross-cut or strip-cut, and are offered throughout the
price spectrum to suit the customer's individual
requirements, on however large or small a scale. Models
available include deskside shredders that shred small
quantities of paper to large, industrial shredders capable
of shredding up to 700 sheets simultaneously.

The range of Fellowes shredders available on the market is
extensive and there is a Fellowes shredder available to
suit every level of requirement. Fellowes home shredders
are designed to shred an infrequent number of paper
documents, such as bank statements and other personal
documentation. Fellowes home shredders are easy to use,
reliable and very reasonably priced.

Moving slightly higher up the range, Fellowes offer a range
of shredders for the home office user - for those who need
to shred a moderate number of documents several times a
day. A home office shredder will enable those working from
home to protect their business and personal information.

Fellowes small office shredders are designed to service
around 100 shredding sessions a day and are ideal for the
small to medium sized company or department. Fellowes offer
a number of shredders at the small office level, with the
SB80 being an excellent example.

Fellowes large office shredders are designed to be used
throughout the working day and Fellowes offer a range of
models that can shred up to 3600 documents per day.

Dahle paper shredders, are available in both strip cut and
cross cut machines, from security level 3 home office or
personal use shredders to large industrial shredders that
can shred anything from a range of stationery to the entire
contents of a waste bin.

EBA shredders are designed for heavy duty and industrial
use and they are known for their hard-to-beat prices.

HSM manufacture an enormous range of shredding machines,
and are the experts in everything from deskside shredders
costing less than £100 to large commercial shredders
currently available on the market for several thousand
pounds.

Another well known brand to consider is Intimus. They make
all types of machines from desk side shredders available
for around £100 to commercial shredders priced at
almost £20,000. Intimus offer both strip and cross
cut shredders and have a machine available to suit every
possible requirement.

Although their range is smaller than some of the previous
manufacturers discussed Kobra shredders are designed for
desk side use right through to commercial and high security
specifications.

Martin Yale specialise in deskside shredders which are
available in both strip cut and cross cut types.

Schleicher manufacture heavy duty and commercial shredders
and all their shredders are suitable for heavy use in an
industrial environment, with a variety of specifications
available at this level. The Schleicher Pacmate is a
cardboard shredder that has been designed to be easily
transported round your work environment

ABT's massive selection of shredders is available to view
online, as are details of the servicing and repair facility
and regular updates on news from the shredding industry. A
freephone line is available for all customers seeking
advice or guidance regarding a new purchase, or to learn
more about the servicing and repair of an existing shredder

How To Get Rid Of Your Enemies Easily

How To Get Rid Of Your Enemies Easily
We all think the enemy is somewhere out there, that some
person, force or nation is out to harm us in some way.
Rather than live a life focused upon what they want, many
people's lives center around protecting themselves from
their enemies, devising strategies to beat them. However,
enemies consume time, attention, resources, well-being and
happiness in life itself. And the odd thing about enemies
is that even when we defeat one, ten more seem to
immediately appear. Even when they think they are winning
over their enemies, they are losing a life of freedom,
health and good will.

How To Get Rid Of Enemies Easily

The smartest, simplest and easiest way to get rid of your
enemy is to turn him/her into a friend. It actually takes
only a moment to do this. Stop for a moment and ask
yourself, who decided this person or situation is my enemy?
You did. Now you can turn that decision around and decide
the person is a friend. You can decide to become a friend
to that person, (or to that situation or condition), to
stop fighting and respond with kindness and care. You can
choose to see other aspects of that person, which are not
in opposition to you. Once you step out of the dance they
are doing, how can they hurt you?

The True Enemy In Your Life

The next step would be to take a deep breath and realize
where the true enemy is hiding. What exactly is it that is
keeping you in constant turmoil? This is the moment to
realize that your true enemy is within. It is your very own
hatred, anger, fear and upset. The true enemy is the
propensity we have for projecting our anger and fear
outside into the world, for pinning it on people and
situations and then battling with them. It is extremely
disempowering to project your darkness upon someone else.
It gives the other person power over you. Until we stop
this, more and more enemies will keep appearing.
Ultimately, they are the creations of our own mind and
heart.

Below are some steps to take, to live a life free of
enemies. Try them and see how easy and enjoyable they
really are.

Step 1: Make Friends With Your Enemy

Allow yourself a moment of willingness to consider the
possibility that your enemy wants the same things in life
and is, most likely, just as afraid of you as you are of
them.

A)Say to yourself - "Like me, my enemy wants to be happy
and safe. Like me, me, my enemy has suffered and wants to
be free of pain. Like me, my enemy is lonely. Like me, my
enemy will one day face loss and death."

Step 2: Who Is Your Enemy

A) Make a list of those people (or situations) you feel are
your enemies.(You may be astonished to note that even those
you love are fearful to you).
B) Write down three valuable qualities this enemy has.
C) Write down three ways you have gained from knowing them.
D)Write down what is needed for you to see them as a friend.

Step 3: Reclaiming Your Power .
A) Upon whom have you projected most negativity?
B) What about this person is so unacceptable?
C) Can you see these qualities in yourself as well?
D) For just a moment, can you accept these qualities in
yourself? (This doesn't mean act upon them, just accept
them for what they are now).

Step 4: Turn It Around

A) Offer your enemy the gift of respect.
B) Offer your enemy the gift of really listening and
knowing them.
C) Stop judging your enemy. Let them be who they are.
D) Give your enemy what they want and need. Just one time.
E) Do it again now.
F) Notice how wonderful it feels.
G) Take time to notice how it feels to live in a world of
friends?

Reverse Cell Phone Directory: Does a Legitimate One Exist?

Reverse Cell Phone Directory: Does a Legitimate One Exist?
The cell phone or the mobile phone is one of the most
useful devices in today's society. With it, people are able
to communicate with loved ones as well as business
associates far more effectively than ever before. Keeping
in touch has never been easier with mobile phones.

Convenient as mobile phones are, there are also some
drawbacks. You have to remember that on every good thing,
there is always a dark side to it. Because mobile phones
are private numbers, you will see that it can be hard for
you to look for someone's mobile phone number.

This means that if someone is harassing you through calls
or SMS on the cell phone, it can be quite hard for you to
trace the owner of the number as mobile phone numbers are
unlisted on public phone directories.

So, how will you be able to know who is the owner of the
cell phone number calling you?

To answer this question, you will want to take a look at
some of the available reverse cell phone directories.
However, the question still remains if one even exists or
if a legitimate one exists. You will see that there are
quite a few websites that offer this kind of services.
However, you need to remember that cell phone directory
services don't come for free. Unlike public landline phone
directories, which is available for the public for free.
However, private numbers, such as cell phone numbers and
unlisted land line numbers will not show up in these public
phone directories.

If you want to know who owns a particular cell phone number
calling you or keeps on sending you SMS, you might want to
use the reverse cell phone directory services.

You can look and do your own research on the internet in
order for you to save money, but searching for the owner of
the number on the internet is almost impossible and it can
take quite a long time.

If you want to search for a number the easy way, one way to
do this is to conduct your search on paid online reverse
cell phone lookup services. For a minimum cost of 15 to 20
dollars, you will be able to access the database of cell
phone number directories.

However, you need to make sure that do a search from a site
is reliable and also will be able provide accurate
information.

This is your best option as it will take you as little time
possible, and it will also be a lot cheaper than hiring a
private investigator.

Try going for the website that offers reverse cell phone
directory with a money back guarantee. This way, you will
be able to get your money back in case the directory
doesn't help you find what you are looking for.

Customer support is also important. With this feature, it
will make it easier for you to find the owner of the cell
phone number that is calling you or sending you text
messages.

So, all in all, legitimate reverse cell phone directories
do exist. However, keep in mind that you need to first find
the legitimate ones as there are a lot of websites existing
that offer these services that doesn't provide accurate
information or only provides limited information.
