Every Business Should Invest in A PUNCHING Bag!


How can you get fit, vent your frustrations, and not miss more than a few seconds of work? That''s easy, says Dr. Gary S. Goodman, President of Customersatisfaction.com, sales, service & success coach, and best-selling author of 12 books and the audio program, "The Law of Large Numbers How To Make Success Inevitable," published by Nightingale-Conant. According to this popular keynote speaker and radio and TV commentator, all you need to do is invest about $89 in a punching bag for the office!

I just pummeled my seven foot, red, punching bag in my gym, after having a frustrating morning at work. Oh, do I feel better, having harmlessly spent that pent-up emotion. Considering the fact that I?m going to return to my phone work in a minute, and I?ll be contacting one of my most frustrating clients, I believe my $89 investment in this martial arts appliance is already paying huge dividends. I won?t sound hostile when I reach him. In fact, I?ll be gentle as a lamb, having speared him, in absentia, as I attacked the red monster.

Oh, yes, I?ll be mellow, that calm under pressure, business equivalent of a Navy Seal, having planted my ordnance successfully, gazing backwards, just riding the waves into a distant horizon.

Face it. We all need ways to harmlessly expel the interpersonal ?charge? that accumulates in us from selling, serving customers, negotiating, and performing a myriad of other duties on the job.

THE BAG is my therapist, confidant, sparring partner, and willing victim, rolled into one tough package, that, as the old watch commercial said, can take a licking and keep on ticking.

$89 is pretty cheap, isn?t it? You don?t have to put in for an early vacation, go AWOL because of stress.

Just hit and kick away, and you may even find it raises your fitness level while lowering your blood pressure!
