Rachna's Note

June 2004

Dear Reader,

I hope this issue finds you well and enjoying- on the East Coast,

anyway- the start of summer.

It's been busy here, as I've just completed my next book,

"Get it Done Faster: Secrets of Dissertation Success"- which

is now available on pre-order for any of you who could

use some tips and hints for completing your dissertation.

As a special thank you for my subscribers, I'm offering

$4 off the cover price for pre-orders placed by June

30, 2004. Books will ship within the first two weeks of July.

And, don't worry, if you already own my first book, the

information presented here is not the same. The book has

gotten strong preliminary reviews from those who've seen it.

I hope you'll consider purchasing it for yourself or for

someone who might benefit.

Anyway, for those of you who aren't working on your

dissertations, I have several more books due out before

the end of this year. In each case, my newsletter

subscribers will receive special discounts on pre-orders,

so stay tuned.

In this issue, we touch upon the idea of asking for the best-

and very often getting it. I hope you enjoy it. Have a wonderful

rest of June, and see you next month.

Warmly,

Rachna

Only the Best

All Rights in All Media Reserved

Lately, I’ve been thinking about many different ideas

to share with you in this newsletter. I decided, this

month, to focus on the idea of “Only the Best”. I have

a good friend who always chooses “Only the Best!” I’ve

had the opportunity to spend more time with her lately as

she recently moved back to the area after living elsewhere

for a while. Anyway, it’s been quite interesting to watch

how her desire for “Only the Best!” pretty much insures

that she gets just that.

I decided to try this out for myself. For a whole week

I practiced the idea of “Only the Best!” and this is what

I found. First, decisions were easier to make. When I

stayed focused on the best it was usually pretty clear what

what was. Second, I noticed that people were even more helpful

and generous than they usually are. Salespeople would go

searching – literally – for items I wanted that weren't on

the shelf. Everyone I ran into was extra helpful and extra

kind. Third, it was easier to be appropriately assertive

when situations weren't going “quite right” and, finally,

it was actually pretty fun.

I stayed focused on what would be best for me instead of

making decisions from a place of worry or “didn't want”.

I found that , each time, the outcome went exactly as I

hoped and sometimes went even better.

So how does this relate to you? I'd invite you, this month,

to try out the “Only the Best!” game for yourself. Be playful

and light with this but try it for one hour, one day, one

week or if you really like the idea do it for a whole month.

Ask for what you want, expect only the best and see that

you very often get just that. Or even something better.

Transform your attitude and you transform your life.

See you next month!

**New Feature**

Q: Rachna, I've heard a lot, recently, about Q cover letters.

What are these? I'm looking for a new job and one advertisement

asks for a "Q" cover letter. Can you help?

A: Absolutely. A "Q" letter or "Q cover letter" is a simple letter

that divides information into two columns. The left column lists

what the job requires (i.e. college degree, 10 years of experience)

and the right side lists how your qualifications meet or exceed that

required level. If you have multiple accomplishments, always

list the strongest ones - those that exceed the minimum required

levels wherever possible.

College Degree required Master's Degree held

5 years of supervisory experience 10 years of supervisory experience

And so on. You would start the cover letter with a brief introduction,

list all relevant points in this two column format, and then end with a

strong closing statement. The goal of a "Q" letter is to make it easy

for the potential employer to screen your resume and see that you

are a strong candidate for the job. Hope this helps, and good luck!

If you have a life, career, small business, or personal

coaching question, email me:

rdj@excelwitheasecoaching.com with Q&A in the

subject line. I may use your questions in future

issues of this newsletter.

Is your company or group looking for a speaker?

I'd like to be considered for the opportunity.

Please let me know if your company, group, or

organization would benefit from a presentation

in the areas of work-life balance, sales and

marketing, or improved productivity or

greater profitability.
