1. Smart Waiters Secret
Late at nights when business is slow, many restaurants adopt a “Sit Yourself” policy – where diners come and select their own tables.
This changes the whole ball game for waiters who make most of their money in tips. Because if a diner comes and selects to sit on another waiter’s table, all the other waiters working in the restaurant may have nothing to do but wait – and lose out on any tips for 30-60 minutes!
So here is what smart waiters do to make sure more people come and sit at their tables instead of their co-workers tables:
When they see someone approaching their door, they go to a table in their area and start wiping it with a towel. They then straighten the condiments and walk away briskly.
9 times out of 10 – the new diner will come and sit at their table – just because of their cleaning and setting up the table in front of their eyes!

3. Burglar Proofing Your Home
Burglars love vacation time when people leave their homes and go on vacations. To prevent burglaries, you could buy fancy sophisticated alarm systems. But here are some extremely low cost ways that are almost as effective as the alarm systems:
1. Put a big dog dish and the largest bone you can find outside the front door. Put up a “Beware of Dog” sign too.
2. Setup a dummy camera next to the entrance of your house.
3. Don’t allow daily deliveries of mail, newspapers or fliers to build up when you are away. Ask the post office to hold your mail, or ask your friend or neighbor to take them regularly.
4. Invest in automatic timers to switch a few of the lights in your home on automatically during evenings.
Do these simple things so that the burglars don’t get the signal that your home is empty. And it’ll be 95% as effective in preventing burglaries as expensive alarm systems.
Action Summary:
- Show people that you are prepared.
- Give them appropriate cues and signals.
- And they’ll do as you want them to.
