Proven Ways to Improve Your SEO

you were requesting an employee to complete a task, for example. In that case, you would include when the job needs to be completed and any other background information they would need. Long chains of emails going back and forth waste time and are annoying.

7. Refer to Attachments

Don’t rely on the recipient noticing that there is an attachment to an email. Explain what the attachments contain in the body of the message. Describing the attachments’ contents will tell the recipient if they need to open and read the contents now or if it is something for later reference. Not mentioning an attachment in an email might lead to something crucial in the message getting missed.

8. Include a Call to Action

Use a call to action (CTA) to clarify what you expect the recipient to do next. Your CTA might be something like, “I look forward to hearing from you soon.” Or, in a sales message, the CTA might be more specific, like “Click here to save 50%”. The crucial thing is to avoid the recipient being left wondering what your email’s point was and what they should do next. If the email was for information only, then this too should be clearly stated.

9. Sign Off with a Thank You

Business communications tend to be more formal than personal messages, but it is best to remain courteous. So, remember to say thank you at the end of your emails. That might be thanking the person in advance for their cooperation or thanking them for what they have sent you. Ensure that your contact information is included in all your business emails, too. Sometimes an email may elicit further communication via another channel. Making it easy for the recipient to find all your contact details will improve the likelihood of getting a speedy response. 10. Proofread Business Emails

It is all too easy to type and send an email and later discover that you made an embarrassing mistake. It’s also not a great idea to send a business email when you are angry with the recipient. It is advisable to proofread even the shortest business emails before you send them. If the message is crucial, it can help to save an email as a draft and read again an hour or two later before sending it. Typos can be embarrassing when you are trying to be professional, and messages sent in haste or anger can backfire on you.

To sum up, the perfect business email is concise, gets to the point fast, and contains a clear call to action. Simultaneously, the email will be courteous and contain sufficient pleasantries to avoid being too formal. There are no hard and fast rules about writing business emails. But hopefully, the above tips will help you compose professional emails that achieve the desired results.

Amanda Frances Puts Money in Its Place

Welcome to Shotcallers, brought to you by Motivation and Success TV. Today, it’s a special honor to have the one and only money queen and original Boss Lady, Amanda Frances. Amanda is the number one bestselling author of “Rich As F*ck” and host of the podcast, “And She Rises.”

Dennis Postema: I’ve done a lot of courses on wealth, but your approach and your delivery is so different from everything out there. Why do you think that is?

Amanda Frances: Thank you! I think that is an outcome of really knowing your subject matter, really knowing your topic. When you know it really well, you don’t sound like anyone else. You don’t say it like anyone else when you’ve integrated it and embodied it for a long, long time. It is going to come out differently, in your own words, with your own spin and your own stories. That’s the difference between a regurgitator and a true teacher because there are plenty of people who regurgitate information, and they may do very well for themselves, but when you really know it and you really live it and it’s really part of you, you are going to have a unique take.

Dennis: Did you have an actual moment that was like your aha moment when you truly understood wealth creation and the wealth mindset? Amanda: One of the first moments I knew I was on to something that people weren’t getting is when I quit my Ph.D. program and I no longer had the stipend from my Ph.D. I was working as a life coach and a cocktail server and doing all these things, and I had the exact same amount of money as I had when I was on the stipend. I made up for it somehow, and I thought, can I really imagine having less than this? Do I have some kind of standard around money? Do I have some kind of energetic set point around a minimum and a maximum in my life?

And I was like, there is something to this. How is it that in my adult life, I’ve gotten a little bit nicer apartments at a time with a little bit more rent but haven’t ever been short on my bills? I haven’t necessarily had more money each month. Then I thought, how is it that I’ve paid off a chunk of credit card debt, but it came right back to that same number? What is that? Why do I seem to have a maximum around the credit card debt, but it also never seems to fall below a set point? Something in me is okay with this. From there, I just started noticing that with everything in life, we all have set points and standards around how things work for us.

I realized that I had never heard anybody talk about this before, and it was happening with my clients and my friends. That was the moment that was probably career changing because now a lot of people talk about energetic minimums and maximums, and I know I made that up.

Dennis: One thing I noticed about you is the amazing amount of emotion and feeling you get when you talk about money and the subject of wealth. I’ve never seen anything like it. How do you get in that mindset?

Amanda: I really like money. I actually really like it, really adore it. That’s not possible unless you know that money is not bad. There’s nothing bad about money; there is nothing wrong with money. Money is neutral. Money is a resource. Knowing this, I think I allow myself to really love it and be passionate about it with no shame or stigma, obsession, or guilt or whatever.

If I have nothing negative around liking money, then I can just be in love with this thing that I get to work with and use and teach about. I do have a lot of passion coming through, and I think you get in that state by removing your shame and guilt around money being bad. I think probably everyone likes it because it enriches all our lives. We’ve made it so much more complicated than that. Money means all of these things, because so many people in the world use it in fucked-up ways. But that doesn’t mean that we have to use it in fuckedup ways. When we allow ourselves to have it, we can always use it for good.

Dennis: I love that you say in the book that money is required and to stop asking God or the universe for all the money and different things that you want.

Amanda: When we think God and the universe has to grant us something, we go through life essentially asking for permission, trying to be good little boys and girls who are worthy of a blessing from God or whatever. It’s such a disempowered state. Yes, I believe God can bless me, and yes, I believe the universe is full of good, but waiting on someone to do something for me keeps me perpetually in the energy of waiting, and the energy of waiting is not the same as the energy of receiving or expecting or knowing or trusting. I think once we take responsibility and we believe it is up to us to make the money, then we give God and the universe something to get behind, instead of asking for permission. It becomes, “Here’s what we’re doing, thank you for
