Tipping

Waitress
Want to know how to increase your wealth mentality, feel good, and help out a deserving person, all at the same time?

Leave a big tip when you go out to eat.

Very often, an extra $10 or $15 means quite a lot more to your waiter or waitress than it would to you or me.

They are working very hard for very little money. They may carry heavy trays or hot plates all day. They often have to put up with abusive customers. And still they put on a happy face and treat you like a guest.

These waiters and waitresses are not looking for a hand out. They are working for every cent they get.

The next time you go out to eat, take a few minutes to observe the person waiting on you. Watch how they take care of several parties at the same time. Notice their attitude when they talk to you. Most of the time, if you do this, you will get a new perspective on what they do.

When they do a good job, give them a bigger tip than what is expected. You’ll see someone seeing themselves with renewed self esteem. You’ll be helping a deserving person out. And you’ll feel good for brightening another person’s day. It will make you feel wealthy, too.

Where else can you do so much for so little?

    Ed,
    You are so refreshing. I first me you in 1983 in the little town of Kerrvile, Texas and we spent three days learning how to have a terrific day! (I guess we were in the slow group, huh?).

    Thanks for all you’ve done. I follow your principles daily with the occasional slip, but continuous seek positive, affirmative feedback to keep the winning feeling. Thanks, again. Bill

Testimonials
  • "Thank you for another powerful presentation. When it comes to great speakers, you are a class act. Two years in a row, now you have left our people with a great message, and a lot of laughter and an incredibly successful presentation. You really are terrific!"
    Barbara Powell, Special Events Manager, Sally Beauty Company, Inc.
  • "Ed, you’ve made a big difference in my life. Since I’ve learned and adopted many of your proven strategies, I’ve become a different, better person. As a result, rewards have been accumulating steadily. I’ve been promoted; I’m living in a much nicer home; I’m happier, healthier, and more effective. I’ve been putting my key people through audiotape training on Ed Foreman, Zig Ziglar, Earl Nightingale, and Jim Rohn. I’ve been seeing a big difference in them, too. You’re making a big difference in the world, Ed. God bless you and keep up the terrific work!"
    Ray Wenderlich, Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Plant, Huntingtown, MD
  • "Listening to Ed Foreman speak is like drinking out of a fire hose! He’s alive, alert, enthusiastic, and intense… a dynamo with an explosive delivery and a meaningful message that has staying power! You’ll like him… but you’ll love what he does for your people! He doesn’t just entertain, he captivates, educates, and motivates. He’s worth more than speakers getting twice his fee!"
    Don Kitzmiller, Vice President, Midmark Corporation Versailles, OH
