Dear Dolphins,

I am delighted to share with you an exciting event I will be speaking at this fall. On October 25-28, the W8 Global Leaders Forum will be celebrated at the beautiful Mexican Pacific City of Manzanillo. It is a 3-day conference on spiritual, emotional, and financial intelligence. I will be one of the keynote speakers, along my friends and colleagues:

• Marci Shimoff, Co-author of Chicken Soup for the Womans Soul and teacher of The Secret, San Francisco, CA.
• Bob Doyle, Law of attraction expert and teacher of The Secret, Atlanta, GA. • Isha, Conciousness master, Costa Azul, Uraguay
• Patrick Devlyn, Vice President, Devlyn Group, as speaker and programme director.

The objective of the event is to help each participant get closer to integral life of wealth, combining topics of inner development with business. This is definitely Dolphin material!

Another great reason to attend is that the average participant to this event is a director of an organization, business, a company owner, corporation executive, social leader, artist, author, entrepreneur—you will be part of a great crowd indeed. Participants from countries as far as Norway, and Denmark are already confirmed.

The official venue for the event is the Barceló Karmina Palace Hotel*, a five-star, four-diamond resort alongside the sandy Mexican Pacific beaches. While the regular rates go for $300 and higher, W8 Forum participants are offered a special rate starting at $109 USD per person with all-inclusive (full-course meals and beverages).

On behalf of W8 Education, Inc. I am delighted to extend an invitation to join me at the W8 Forum this fall. Significant discounts are currently available starting at double tickets. For prices and to register check www.w8forum.org.

Wishing you all smooth seas, sunny skies, and treasure ships at your docks!
Love and blessings,

ARTICLE: Give Yourself a Raise

Here’s a little exercise that could greatly increase your income. Interested? Read on!

Let’s say that your current price for your product or service is $100 and you’d like to start charging $150. For you to say, “I charge $150” after you’ve been saying $100 for a long while is difficult. It’s uncomfortable because you’re in the habit of saying $100. All your fears about your worthiness and ability to receive abundance clutch at your insides. You choke on the words, stutter, or make your request weakly, wincing while you say, “I, uh, charge, er, a hundred and um, ah, fifty dollars??”

The client is going to call that obvious bluff immediately: “A hundred and fifty dollars!?? That’s too much money!” This will never do.

You’ve got to say your new price proudly and strongly. You have to practice saying it, so that you can toss the figure away when you say it, like you think its nothing. Here’s the trick that will help: Take the new price (not the current price) you want to charge—$150—and double that to $300. Sounds outrageous, doesn’t it? That’s the point. Now practice saying that price: “I charge $300,” “I charge $300,” over and over. At least twenty times a day for a week or two. You will be amazed at how little $150 sounds to you after that. You’ll speak it easily to your clients, because after $300, $150 sounds like a bargain. Your clients will take their cue from you this time, too, and be more likely to have a more relaxed acceptance of your price.

Many of my clients have been amazed at how well this exercise has worked for them. Not only that, but a lot of them reported their clients mentioned being surprised their prices had been so low and were waiting for them to start charging a higher rate.

The Small Business Administration reports that one of the top reasons small businesses go under is that they don’t charge enough money for their products or services. My client, Adi, taught all-day Yoga classes and charged only $6. He enrolled ten students, one of whom didn’t even pay the $6! He knew his pricing was too low, but he just enjoyed teaching the class and didn’t want money to stand in the way of people attending. But he needed more money in his life, so he decided to charge $235 for the next all-day session. This time he only got three students. But he made a lot more money: In the first scenario, he made $54. In the second, he made $705. The difference in his income was $651 – now wouldn’t you like a raise like that?
