Happy Halloween! Safety Tips & Deals

What do you have planned for Halloween? If you are taking your kids out trick-o-treating be sure to take precautions.

1. Don’t cross the street unless it’s at a stopwalk. Jaywalking is very dangerous, especially on a dark night.
2. Wear reflective clothing.
3. Don’t wear long costumes you or your children could trip on.
4. Make sure to only go to homes that are well lit.
5. Once you get home be sure to inspect your candy. Some really bad people could want to trick your kids. Some people have found drugs and even needles in candy bars. Be sure to inspect all candy first. Or just pass on trick-or-treating altogether and go to the store the day after Halloween for half off Halloween candy! Or just bid on candy at DealDash. There’s even Kit Kat bars!
6. When going to Halloween parties take precautions: Don’t leave your drinks unattended and don’t go overboard!
7. Have fun!

How a Positive Mindset Could Help You Win Auctions

Have you ever noticed that life, however complex it may be, really is pretty simple? Did you know that your thoughts have power? There have been times in my life where I envisioned myself winning a contest and I did. There have been times where I was really negative about a situation and the fear I placed on a certain outcome happening actually became reality?
Have you ever tried to lose weight, worked out, ate healthy, but kept telling yourself you were too fat and you weren’t going to look the way you want? Notice how quickly you gave up?negative
One of my favorite quotes is, “A Negative Mind Will Never Give You a Positive Life” It’s true. When you’re negative or sad you really won’t have a good day. Ever think about your mindset in relation to bidding on penny auctions?
Ever think, oh I will never win this auction against this guy! He keeps going and going! Think about it… tell yourself a different story. Try thinking you will win, expect it and hope for it and it will give you motivation to keep going and may even help you win more! May sound far fetched, but try it and let us know if it helps you!
What are some of the toughest times in your life and how did you overcome them? Did your thoughts help or hurt you?
Another favorite is by Zig Ziglar that you can apply both to bidding on DealDash.com and in your life:
“You were born to win, but to be a winner, you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win.”
ziglarIf you don’t plan for a vacation do you think it will be very fun when you get there and don’t have a place to stay or anywhere to go? Believe me, it’s not fun!

So take that same thought and apply it to bidding. In order to win you must plan to win – this means do your own research, prepare to win – do what you need to do to get a step closer to winning, then lastly, expect to win. Prepare your mind to win and you’re already halfway there!
Good luck & happy bidding!
