Today is your lucky day!

The start of the Olympics is no coincidence. In fact, the Chinese put great thought into today. August 8th, 2008 is the luckiest day of the century (until August 8th, 2108).

The number 8 holds great significance....according to Wiki "The word for "eight" (八，捌) in Mandarin (Pinyin: bā) sounds similar to the word which means "prosper" or "wealth" (发 - short for "发财", Pinyin: fā). In regional dialects the words for "eight" and "fortune" are also similar, eg Cantonese "baat" and "faat"."

Telephone number 8888-8888 was sold for USD$270,723 in Chengdu, China.

The Summer Olympics in Beijing are scheduled to open on 8/8/08 at 8:08:08pm.

A man in Hangzhou offered to sell his license plate reading A88888 for RMB 1.12 million.

So today I figured, why not enjoy a little luck yourself! Hit the phones hard today! Make as many new connections as possible! Reach out for new business, rekindle old business....

Get off the sofa, turn off the TV, and give yourself a solid 24 hours of activity into your business.

My guess is you may feel today was your luckiest day too!
