I went to a five family yard sale out in the country today. It was about eight miles from my home. For two dollars I purchased a Sears Solid State Cassette Recorder in perfect condition. At a different spot at the sale I purchased a six tape album of The Secrets of Power Negotiating by Roger Dawson. It came with a nice workbook and 24 Power Negotiating Cards. I paid One Dollar for the Album. I came home, wiped the dust off both the album and the recorder and plugged it in to a plug in my bathroom. I turned it on to tape one and there was Roger Dawson, a legend in the field of Power Negotiating ready and willing to share some truly powerful and profitable ideas with me for a number of hours. Last week for $1 I bought a comprehensive album on memory. Now both you and I know that cassette tapes are obsolete. So are cassette tape recorders. The important thing is that information is information whether it comes carved on stones in a cemetery or by the latest thousand dollar electronic device that you dust your hand across the screen to move the pages. For decades I shared with audiences in all fifty states and all Canadian provinces the fact that I just barely squeaked through high school but that I was a cassette tape freak and most of my knowledge came by means of turning my auto into a learning center and that I put in thousands of hours studying psychology, sales techniques and people behavior by means of fantastic tape albums available on pretty well any subject you’d care to delve into. What is that old saying that most of us should dust off every now and then and apply to our lives? Oh yes, “School is never out for the professionals.” So I invested the huge sum of four dollars for a tape recorder and two priceless courses that have proven invaluable in my past and, no doubt, will help me in some way in the future. As Roger Dawson explains on tape one, he spent many, many thousands of dollars on his daughters college education and she came out without one hour of training in negotiations. Bet she had nothing on developing her memory either. And if you check it out you will find some awesome courses from many of the leaders in their fields, now available on CD or what have you from www.nightingale.com – Art Fettig
