(8) Observe other drivers' actions after crash. If they are crawling under their car to inspect damage after an accident, then they don't have a serious injury. A photo of this wouldn't hurt your case.

(9) Control your temper. It is easier for police to determine you are at fault if you are a raving hothead. You will be one they remember two months from now in court. Stay cool.

(10) Get names and badge numbers of police present. Each officer may have a different view of what evidence was, and having contact with all of them might help your case.

(11) Get a copy of your claim file from your insurance company. Double check to make sure your claim is accurate. A mistake found today can save you from paying high premiums in future.

(1) Don't admit fault to anyone. Your words might be used against you later. (2) Never discuss how auto accident happened. You don't want other drivers' versions of car accident to influence yours, and you don't want something to slip out that makes you responsible.

(3) Avoid moving your car until after you have other parties' license and vehicle registration information. Don't give other driver a chance to drive off, leaving you with problem.

(4) Refuse t0 accept any roadside settlements. Often damage can be hidden and much greater than originally expected.

(5) Don't let anyone pick your auto repair facility for you. You have right by law to choose whichever auto repair shop you'd like, and your insurance must cover it. Ask your friends and neighbors for a reputable shop. Pick one that has been in business at least five years, preferably ten. You want a business that will be around if you have problems later.

8. It does not matter how many or few available partners there are in your area.

You don't need to attract many partners; just one -- right one. Whether or not you are able to attract a partner depends on how well you have dealt with your beliefs about relationships.

If you want to attract your ideal partner, look inside yourself and find out what you honestly believe about relationships and opposite sex.

Again, this may be difficult to do alone, and I am here to help as your relationship coach.

9. You must clearly know what you want in a relationship in order to create it.

First, discover what kind of interaction you want to have with an intimate partner. What is most important to you?

Then ask yourself what kind of a person would be suited to naturally engage in that kind of interaction. What kind of personality and lifestyle would a person need to have in order to naturally fit into your life?

By answering these questions you can arrive at a clear description of your ideal partner, which makes it easier to attract him or her.

This is yet another area in which having a relationship coach can be very useful. I can help you find clarity in whom you want to attract and where such a person may spend his or her time.

10. Here is a simple recipe for attracting your ideal partner:

* Get complete with your past (see Step #1) * Create a list of your ideal partner qualities (see Step #9) * Ask yourself if you feel any other internal blocks preventing you from having a relationship. Clear them out of way, by yourself or by getting help from me.

Use these personal development steps to attract your ideal relationship. These are only steps you need to take, and only steps that consistently work for creating relationships - or anything else you may want.
