As I was at my reflexology appointment this weekend, I began to think of how I was referred to her and in the midst of my thoughts a strong realization dawned over me.

I am sure many of you have doctors, therapists, hair stylists, etc that stemmed from a referral of a friend or colleague. Take a look at how my tree of referrals formed….

Kim, my manicurist introduced me to → Crystal, my hairstylist
Crystal introduced me to → Dr. Phin, my Chiropractor
Dr. Phin introduced me to → Dennis, my massage therapist
Dennis then introduced me to → Linda, my reflexologist

All of these individuals were referred to me by another business professional that did not receive any sort of compensation! That truly impresses me, and also shows just how important and powerful direct sales really is. You refer people to products and/or services every day and get compensated for the number of people you refer!

Share your thoughts and referral stories; I’d love to hear them!

To start off the weekend on a funny note, I thought I’d share these interestingly humorous facts with you!

37 years ago to this very day, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak invented Apple, Inc. Not only was Apple invented but also the PC as Wozniak pieced together what is now known as the prototype for Apple I.

The company wasn’t officially formed until April of 1976, but the ideas and inventions were already very much in progress.

On a side note, today is also the iPhone’s 5th birthday! What a great day in history….

Did you know the type of dog you have could deter or attract certain people? A recent study done by Kloof (a mobile app for dog lovers) concluded the top breed that attracts men to women is the Golden Retriever! The runner up breeds included Labrador Retrievers, Chihuahuas, Poodles, and Beagles.

What’s even more interesting is the stereotype associated with the owner of a specific breed. For women, if you own a Chihuahua, men often assume the woman is “dumb” or “easy. However, a woman may tend to find that men who own Pit Bull’s are “sketchy” or “sleazy”, whereas a man who owns as German Shepherd or Siberian Husky are seen as being “masculine.”
