“Warning: Do Not Remove This Tag Under Penalty of Law”. For many years every pillow and mattress carried a tag with that warning. Today the language isn't quite so harsh, but the warning is still there. Why does anyone care whether or not the tag gets removed from your mattress? Listen as I explain. https://www.livescience.com/33039-why-do-mattresses-have-do-not-remove-tags.html Sleep is a natural part of your life. So why is it sometimes difficult to fall asleep and stay asleep? What is the latest scientific research on how to improve the quality and quantity of your sleep? To explain all this is Aric Prather, a world renowned sleep scientist and author of the book The Sleep Prescription: Seven Days to Unlocking Your Best Rest (https://amzn.to/3OKZWC7). Even if you think you have heard all the conventional wisdom about sleep – you probably haven't heard all of what Aric has to say. Listen today and sleep like a baby tonight. When you think of assertive people, they are often folks you admire. Most likely that's because they seem to know what they want and are able to communicate it in a clear and confident way that is not offensive. We've likely all been in situations where we wish we spoke up and were more assertive yet somehow weren't able to do it. Here to help you understand how to be assertive is psychologist Randy Paterson author of The Assertiveness Handbook: How to Express Your Ideas and Stand Up for Yourself at Work and in Relationships (https://amzn.to/3GNDJ4C). Most employees probably wish they got more praise and compliments from the boss. And if the boss is smart, he or she probably should. Listen as I explain the benefits of giving compliments and positive feedback – not only benefits for employees but for employers as well. http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0048174 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!

In this episode the gals are in another crossover with Patrick from A Cave to the Cross Apologetics discussing discernment and rightly judging those teachers who are teaching falsely. What does it mean to slander, blaspheme, or believe/teach heresy? How do we judge righteously? The three discuss each of these issues with a Scriptural perspective.Intro - Cross over with A Cave to the Cross Apologetics: Patrick Studebaker Slander TS 00:18:00Slander (etymologically a doublet of "scandal," from OFr. esclandre, Latin scandalum, "stumblingblock") is an accusation maliciously uttered, with the purpose or effect of damaging the reputation of another. As a rule it is a false charge (compare Matthew 5:11); but it may be a truth circulated insidiously and with a hostile purpose (e.g. Daniel 3:8, "brought accusation against," where Septuagint has diaballo, "slander"; Luke 16:1, the same Greek word). Warnings, condemnations and complaints in reference to this sin are very frequent, both in the Old Testament and New Testament. Mischievous "tale-bearing" or "whispering" is condemned (Leviticus 19:16; Ezekiel 22:9). There are repeated warnings against evil-speaking (as in Psalms 34:13; Proverbs 15:28; Ephesians 4:31; Colossians 3:8; James 4:11; 1 Peter 3:10), which is the cause of so much strife between man and man (Proverbs 16:27-30), and which recoils on the speaker himself to his destruction (Psalms 101:5; 140:11). Especially is false witness, which is "slander carried into a court of justice," to be condemned and punished (Exodus 20:16; Deuteronomy 19:16-21; compare Proverbs 12:17; 14:5,25; 19:5; 21:28; 24:28). Special cases of slander more than usually mean are when a wife's chastity is falsely impeached by her husband (Deuteronomy 22:13-19), and when one slanders a servant to his master (Proverbs 30:10). Even a land may be slandered as well as persons (Numbers 14:36). Slanderers and backbiters are mentioned in some of Paul's darkest catalogues of evildoers (Romans 1:29,30; 2 Corinthians 12:20; 2 Timothy 3:3). Heresy TS 00:37:25from a Greek word signifying (1) a choice, (2) the opinion chosen, and (3) the sect holding the opinion. In the Acts of the Apostles ( 5:17 ; 15:5 ; Isaiah 24:5 Isaiah 24:14 ; 26:5 ) it denotes a sect, without reference to its character. Elsewhere, however, in the New Testament it has a different meaning attached to it. Paul ranks "heresies" with crimes and seditions ( Galatians 5:20 ). This word also denotes divisions or schisms in the church ( 1 Corinthians 11:19 ). In Titus 3:10 a "heretical person" is one who follows his own self-willed "questions," and who is to be avoided. Heresies thus came to signify self-chosen doctrines not emanating from God ( 2 Peter 2:1 ). Blasphemy TS 01:05:00The Old Testament At least five different Hebrew verbs are translated "blaspheme" in English translations. Translators choose "blaspheme" when, for instance, the verbs "curse" (qalal [l;l'q]), "revile" (gadap [@;d"G]), or "despise" (herep) are used with God as the object. No special verb is reserved for cursing or insults directed at God.However, to curse or insult God is an especially grave sin. It can be done by word or by deed. There is little distinction between the sinner who deliberately abuses the name of the Lord ( Le 24:10-16 ), and the one who deliberately flouts his commandments ( Nu 15:30-31 ). For both, the death penalty is prescribed. Similarly, the prayer of the Levites in Nehemiah 9 calls "awful blasphemies" all that Israelites did when they made the golden calf (9:18).David's flagrant sin with Bathsheba may be called a blasphemy ( 2 Sa 12:14 ), but a more likely translation is that David has "made the enemies of the Lord show utter contempt" (NIV). Instead of testifying by lifestyle to the character of the Lord, David's action confirms the blasphemous belief of the nations that the Lord is no different from any other national god. The New Testament. The Greek root blasphem- [blasfhmevw] can be used of strong insults thrown at other people ( Mark 15:29 ; Acts 13:45 ; Eph 4:31 ; 1 Peter 4:4 ), or even unjust accusations ( Rom 3:8 ), but it is more usually used of insults offered to God (e.g., Rev 13:6 ; 16:9 ). Jesus is accused of blasphemy for pronouncing forgiveness and for claiming a unique relationship with God ( Matt 26:65 ; Mark 2:7 ; John 10:33 ).

My Podner in this episode is Red Boswell and he's going to talk with us today about how to generate franchisee leads. This is one of the hottest topics with franchisors. This discussion will benefit both new and seasoned franchisors. Red is a unique character, and I mean that in a good way. This guy has been driven to make money ever since he was a kid. Starting in grade school when he was selling NFL pencils for a profit, into hos twenties when he build up a pet services franchise system all the way up to 148 units. He's been operating in the world of franchising practically his entire adult life. He'll give us more details in just a few minutes. Red now gets to fuel his business building passion as President of the International Franchise Professionals Group (IFPG), The World's Largest and Most Respected Franchise Consultant Organization. . Time Stamps Red Boswell Intro 00:00:28 Segment 1 00:02:05 Get to know Red Boswell Segment 2 00:29:45 Topic Segment – Franchisee Lead Generation Segment 3 01:01:50 Quickdraw Questions Topics Discussed in this Episode The cost of a lead The average cost of a lead in 2019 is $10,000 That number does not including commissions That number includes large companies that don't need to spend anything for leads because their brand is so well knows that they don't need to advertise to get leads Small companies usually pay a lot more to generate leads since their concepts usually don't have any brand recognition 16 sources of leads Direct mail Print Online Brokers Referrals Consumer / Clients PR Industry / Conversions Prospecting Buying leads Live events / Expos Mobile / Roadside Upgrade / Multi-unit Operators Past leads Guerilla marketing TV Radio The marketing mix is a moving target and is different for every concept. There is no silver bullet, one size fits all solution for the marketing spend mix. Do a lot – do it for a long time – test and measure Every option will involve one or all of these three Time Money Resources The trick is to utilize the options that require the resources you have the most of. Red's Favorite Five Red says that every solution must be customized to the individual concept, but if he HAD to pick his favorite five, the would be: Brokers Best option for any size franchisor You pay to be a member then pay a commission per close Many broker groups won't accept smaller start-up concepts Big saver of time and resources PR Hire a PR firm Find one who is familiar with the world of franchising IFA members a plus Validate with their past clients Industry Conversions Converting existing business people who are struggling You never know who may be disenchanted with operating their own concept and who would love to convert These are cold calls usually Live Events / Expos Usually between $5k and $10K per event Use common sense and work it hard Energy – follow-up – is key Online You could make online all five PPC Pay per click / Banners SEO of your own franchise site Develop a GREAT portal that grabs and tracks leads and conveys the information well. Portals tend to generate a lot of volume with lower quality, but still worth the spend Social media posting Big data targeting Job boards – make a job advertisement with the tag “some investment required” – describes a dream job Bonus Source: Guerilla Marketing Example: flyers on every windshield at the local franchise expo Common mistakes made by franchisors as it relates to lead sources: Lack of infrastructure – be able to walk away from your business for 6 months Don't try to run your business and franchise it all by yourself Franchise Development person Marketing person Onboarding / Training person Field support person Lack of good ops manuals Not charging enough for the franchisee fee in order to pay for the costs associated with lead generation and other expenses Negotiate a broker commission too low – nobody will show your system if the commission is too low Seek wise counsel Books Mentioned Franchise Management for Dummies Becoming a Strategic Business Owner How to Win Friends and Influence People Red Boswell International Franchise Professional Group www.ifpg.org Red@ifpg.org 888-977-4374 x 112 Kit Vinson www.franman.net kit.vinson@franman.net 214-736-3939 x 101
