Big Sales Day Today!

For any of you who sell over the Internet, I heard this morning that today is supposed to be the biggest sales day of the year as far as online sales are concerned. It's cutting it a little close for my liking, so I've already finished my shopping, but good luck to anyone who's facing big sales today!

Why is today the big day for Internet orders? Is today the cut-off date for shipping?

For me, it's really a big sales day because I'm doing good in my online sales. Infact, it's more profitable now compared before. I need to celebrate and give reward to myself.

I finished my Christmas shopping today. Last night I ordered my last item to be delivered by Christmas and had to pay extra shipping to be sure it would arrive in time.

Good to hear that from you Ozzie. Christmas is a big day. Good your well-prepared for that event.

I would say this is the biggest mistake that I've made in life, not celebrating and not giving myself any rewards in life.

One of the best indirect rewards I had was a school teacher talking about taking her charges on school foreign field trips saying to me " Your Zoe is comical, as soon as we announce a school trip and asks does anyone want to go - her hand shoots straight up" It appears Zoe [Age 8] never thought she should ask her parents, consult anyone, and it was her who decided that she ought to go, that she owed it too herself, and from her point of view going to Norway, France, Greece or Prague was not going to cause her any personal hardship. Sales paid for it all.

I come from a poverty North of England coal mining and steelworks area and rewarding yourself was never part of the deal. For this reason its good to see youngsters enjoying themselves and living in a much better world than their forbears.

I assume that would be it, yes. I did some ordering that day and the last of my packages arrived today. I learned a lesson last year waiting for a box the day before Christmas Eve... don't want to go through that again!

This is one thing I learned this year, too. It's very important because if we work and work and never do anything nice for ourselves, we start resenting things. Also since I am self employed, if I don't reward myself, no one will.
