Word to the Wise: Palliate

By ETR

To "palliate" (PAL-ee-ate) – from the Latin for "to conceal" – is to lessen in severity or make less intense.

Example (as used by Steven Polansky in Harper’s Magazine): "I had held a hope that she would take my class, that I would have the chance not only to cope with but to help palliate her pain."

[Ed. Note: Become a more persuasive writer and speaker ... build your self-confidence and intellect ... increase your attractiveness to others ... just by spending 10 VERY enjoyable minutes a day with ETR's new Words to the Wise CD Library.]

Did You Cash In that Savings Bond Granny Got You?
There is roughly $36 billion in "ready cash" held by federal and state governments – forgotten bank accounts (yes, it happens), unclaimed utility deposits, old money orders, uncashed stock dividends, and much more. Finding it is much easier than you think. It could be your money, why not claim it?




Do You Know What Your Optimum Selling Strategy Is?
If not, don't spend another dollar on your business until you hear Michael Masterson explain it - in detail and with easy-to-follow examples - at our Info-Marketing Bootcamp this November. "Until you discover the OSS for your niche, your chances of success are dismal," Masterson says. "After you know it, making money is as simple as following a path of dotted lines."

Testimonials

I want to thank you for providing the ETR Goals Program

"I want to thank you for providing the ETR Goals Program.

"This year, with everything that I received by entering into the program – the workbook and DVD, the weekly planner, the weekly power surge messages, the twice a month teleconferences, the website forum, and Bob and Karin Cox’s personal phone mentoring – I have been able to:

  • "define my goals, keep to task on those goals, and accomplish those goals.
  • "improve my attitude toward myself, my life, my career, and those around me.
  • "improve my daily routine – make each hour, each minute, count – and use my time efficiently and wisely.
  • "in a professional manner, complete employment in one career and begin self-employment in another career.
  • "efficiently and without too many headaches move from one town to another.
  • "find a supportive school for my 6th grade son who is affected by ADHD and autism.

"This program has made ahuge difference to me in the outcome of 2008, and I look forward to Bob and Karin’s mentoring in 2009 as I successfully launch my home business… despite the doom and gloom we hear on the news!

"Obviously, I recommend this program to anyone who wants to get focused and get things done."

- Dave S.
