Written by Doug C. Grant


What are Gratitude Dollars?

They are sort of lookalike dollars that contribute real power to your life when properly used. I'll tell you how to claim your Gratitude Dollars, FREE, in just a moment.

BUT FIRST, LET'S TALK ABOUT THE ‛WHY' OF GRATITUDE DOLLARS.

You've probably heard that in order to get more in life you need to be thankful for what you already have. I can hear my mother now, "What'a mean you don't like your shoes? The world is full of kids who don't have shoes. Be grateful. Otherwise you may never get another pair."

We've heard this ‛be thankful' law so much it's like, "Okay, tomorrow I'll start really being thankful. But today I'm busy." Consequently we shutrepparttar door inrepparttar 123785 face of a lot of prosperity.

DO YOU HAVE SOME NEEDS IN YOUR LIFE?

What if you found out that many of your needs could be met by simply going torepparttar 123786 top ofrepparttar 123787 Empire State Building in New York City and spitting intorepparttar 123788 wind with your fingers crossed. Would you do it? Darn straight you would!

The gratitude program I'm going to outline doesn't require eitherrepparttar 123789 expense or time of a New York trip. In fact, it's free with no strings. Plus I absolutely guarantee it can start exploding your prosperity.

It's About More Than Money: are you charging what you're worth?

Copyright (c) 2002 by Angela Booth

Last April I had a surreal experience with a popular women's magazine I used to write for.

An editorial assistant emailed me: "Sorry about not getting back to you sooner about article X. We'd like to publish it. What are your rates?"

My eyes lit up. "Money. You beauty," I thought. I may have chortled aloud. Possibly I danced a jig around my crowded office.

Unseemly glee, you think. You're right. I remembered thatrepparttar 123784 check hadn't clearedrepparttar 123785 bank and focused onrepparttar 123786 task at hand. Negotiation.

I hitrepparttar 123787 Reply button.

Then my fingertips stilled onrepparttar 123788 keyboard. Eh? What did she mean, what are my rates? They know what my rates are. My rates are exactlyrepparttar 123789 same as they've been since 1995. Or 1992. They're what this publishing conglomerate pays. They're standard across allrepparttar 123790 magazines they own. They're going up,repparttar 123791 editors promise. Next month. Next year. When hell freezes over.

Whatrepparttar 123792 heck. I typed happily, already deciding what I could buy withrepparttar 123793 money. Printer cartridges. Dog worming tablets. Maybe a new pair of jeans, even. "Your usual rates are fine. You paid me $X forrepparttar 123794 800 word Christmas article."

So a week laterrepparttar 123795 assistant emails me to say they're not publishingrepparttar 123796 piece. They can't afford my rates.

Well praiserepparttar 123797 lord and passrepparttar 123798 ammunition. The rates aren't going up. They're going down.

That day I decided that I was out ofrepparttar 123799 magazine writing business.

Inrepparttar 123800 magazine writing business, I was a price taker. I decided to saddle up forrepparttar 123801 happy hunting ground of copywriting, where I was a price maker.

=> Charging what you're worth

How much are you worth? You can't stay in business if you don't know. (If you're unsure how to set your basic prices, read Elena Fawkner's piece onrepparttar 123802 Web site,repparttar 123803 URL's below in Additional Resource.)
