I wrote about how I helped Wendy win a house by recommending she learn from Helene Hadsell, “the woman who won every contest she entered” and author of The Name It & Claim It Game.

Since I like to multi-task, I play motivational CDs, MP3s, and videos while working.  For several months Aprile and I shared an office, and she was subjected to all the wonderful inspirational and motivational messages. Of course, one of my favorites to listen to is Helene Hadsell’s program.

Aprile took all of Helene’s teachings to heart, followed her SPEC (Select, Project, Expect, and Collect) method to heart, and won a trip for two to Jamaica from a local radio station.

Aprile told me how she decided she Selected a trip to win:

This year is our 5th anniversary, and I hoped to win us a romantic trip for two. One morning while listening to EZ Rock, they announced they were giving away a trip a day. I thought to myself, “This will be an easy contest to win.”  When I got to the office, I went on my laptop, read the rules, took a picture of the resort from the EZ rock website, and made it my wallpaper so I could Project, plus envision Barry and I poolside with “fru fru” drinks. I ensured I was up in time every morning to hear when the cue to qualify would be that day.  Three days passed, and I did not qualify, but I knew I would win. Thursday, I qualified. When I hung up, I told Carolyn, “They are going to call me back.”  I Expected to win. And I did!

(She then Collected her prize.) Aprile went to the Sunwing Vacation Grand Palladium Resort & Spa in Jamaica.
