Why Determination is Key to Solving Your Problems

 "A determined soul will do more with a rusty monkey wrench than a loafer will accomplish with all the tools in a machine shop." -Robert Hughes

Hear this! Determination is the potent key to unlocking most problems slowing down progress in your business life. Once you resolve to keep things going no matter the odds, sooner than later, you will discover that you achieved all the goals you set for yourself inspite of all the problems you encountered on the way. When you have a job to do, getting that job done is highly dependent on how determined you are to get it done. Getting it done does not depend exclusively on how talented you are, how experienced you are and how much resources you have at your disposal. You may have all these and still fail to get it done if you are not determined enough. With determination, you can easily command enormous energy, intelligence, talent and direction to surmount obstacles. That is why things get to work out in your favor.

When a man is not determined, even if you give him all the equipment, money and the right environment to help solve a problem, he will fail woefully at the job. But a determined person with fewer resources can solve problems better and faster than the person who is not so determined. That is the key. Just think about it. Have you realized that at any point in time, you are either in a problem, heading out of a problem or heading straight into a problem? That there is neither an escape nor a hiding place from life’s problems unless you are dead? That there is absolutely nothing you can do to stop obstacles altogether? Good if you have. The moment you realize this, that is the beginning of your own resolve to stay determined in whatsoever you find yourself doing. That is the surest way to always achieve your goals without fail, obstacles or not.

Get busy right now because…. “No pains, no gains. To get the prize, you must pay the price.”


 

Potent Methods for Winning Auctions in SFI

Many affiliates use manual bidding as well auto-bidding in their PriceBender’s auction bids for varied reasons. Some of these reasons do not really have anything to do with actually winning the auctions. Some bidders use them separately while others use them in combination. What probably determines which is better depends on what the bidder wants to achieve and what strategy he/she has in place. They both have their own strong points and weak points so everything depends on what the bidders are after. To determine which is better, it is best to take into account these strong points and weak points to arrive at that decision.


 
MANUAL BIDDING
Strong Points:
- More intelligent bidding.
- Tactful bidding.
- More and better control over your bids.
- Better implementation of your strategy.
- Better timing of your bids.
- Better control over the use of your TCredits.

Weak Points:
- Too much time consuming.
- Too much energy sapping.
- Bidding fatigue sets in faster.

AUTO-BIDDING
Strong Points:
- Saves time.
- Saves energy.
- More resilient bidding.

Weak Points:
- Excessive use of TCredits.
- Less control over bidding strategy.
- Poor timing of your bids.
- Lack of bidding intelligence.
- Tactless bidding.

 

 Like everything with automation, the level of human intelligence input is minimal so there is a tendency to misread the intentions of your fellow bidders and even to miss the trend at times. While bidding to win, the intention is to outwit and to outbid your fellow bidders and that requires some level of intelligence in your bids. That intelligence is something manual bidding can always fall back on as the bidding progresses. That alone makes manual bidding a better strategy to win these auctions instead of auto-bidding. If you have sufficient time and energy to spend on bids, I personally will recommend manual bidding over auto-bidding in auctions like PriceBenders taking into consideration the strong and weak points of both as highlighted above.
