Quotes of the Week

Another week gone by and time for quotes of the week! I’ve been doing a fair bit of travelling, so there was no article this week. Hmmmm…. that tells you that I write them myself! I love taking the time to think up something that will help you to gain success in your online business. 

It may take a different way of hearing the same info or even something you were not aware of that really helps you out. I’ve had the same thing, so I am everlastingly  grateful that you find them useful and continue to read. 

The week started off with this great quote from Maya Angelou – a lady I admire a whole lot. Be sure to pick up at least one of her books and you’ll get an idea of how she comes out as such a wise and strong person. Turn those lemons into lemonade!

Quotes of the Week

There are just 2 months till we finish out 2013 and into a fresh year – 2014! If you’ve reached some or all your key goals – Congratulations!! I’m sending you a virtual hug.

If you haven’t – that’s OK. That was then – more important is what you do going forward. Just because you are in a valley today does not make it your permanent destination – there is always a path out and to get to the top of YOUR mountain… if you want to and are willing to do whatever it takes.

Are you?

That’s your food for thought this weekend along with the quotes for the week. 

 

This one from Monday is not so much a quote, but a reminder of what being an entrepreneur and having your online business is about. It’s not who you know, but who knows you!  Now you figure out how to make it happen – and that is universal, so look around you, do what the successful people do – and build YOU Inc.

Quotes of the Week

Wow – I’m loving this and it seems you are too! The response to Quotes of the Week has been awesome and encouraging. It started out as an experiment – I’m keeping it going as it seems to be helping you find a focus of reflection and meditation in the busyness (and business) we get engulfed by.

When things look like they are too much, a quote usually turns up that allows me to take a step back and look at the 40 foot view. Things look much better then. I’m getting that you feel the same way about them too, I welcome you sharing your fav’s here.

 

Quotes of the Week 7

Nobody is an island, y’know! You can’t possibly do it all or know everything. Form a great team around you, where the whole is more than the sum of the parts – you’ll be flying! Continue reading

Natural Attraction Marketing

You’ve heard all the talk about attraction marketing – it’s the current “fail proof” way to get your leads (prospects, clients)  turn into paying fans. 

The concept is easy and makes a lot of sense, though most will be hard pressed to figure out how to put it in action, so I’ll dive into it and share my thoughts.

 

 

What is Natural Attraction Marketing?

If you realize that every interaction we have is a sale of sorts, then look back and see where you get the best results, you’ll come up with a few things.

1. It’s usually a gradual process! Just because the guy likes the gal, if he asked her to marry him the minute he set his eyes on her or even waits till they are on a first date, he’d  most likely find himself left alone at best, slapped if it doesn’t go so well – ouch! The process of dating is how two people “scope” each other out and see if there’s enough there to get into a deeper relationship.  Why would you think that truly successful and sustainable online or offline marketing is any different?

Quotes of the Week

The week started off for us Canadians with Thanksgiving – always a great reminder to give thanks for all that we are and have.

Gratitude is pretty powerful in living healthy and longer lives – there is a lot of research to show the massive advantages of the mind-body connection. It’s called Neuroplasticity – go check it out.
So let’s extrapolate a bit…. you can lead a healthy, long and successful life by being grateful (and kind also). Yes, you still have to do some work and take action, but not as much as most people would imagine – you are laser focused and efficient as well as effective.

If you haven’t read “Think and Grow Rich” – it’s a great place to start. If you’ve read it already and want to dive deeper, you really want to subscribe to my newsletter – it’s on the right side of this – and you’ll get the complete and original work by Napoleon Hill that was where TAGR came from. I’ve got to tell you – it’s even more powerful, and it’s titled “The Law of Success in 16 Lessons”

Invest In Yourself First

As an entrepreneur, where do you invest? Do you invest in yourself first?
You’ve heard a lot of the buzz phrases – Leaders are Readers, Leaders invest in themselves etc.
Have you actually thought about what that REALLY means? How would you put that into practise and make it work for you?

 

 

How do you invest in yourself first?

There are 3 key areas of self investment required to be a successful entrepreneur. 
I hope you’ve noticed that I not only share that you need to invest in yourself, but that you need to do so FIRST!

For starters, I’ll share a very basic philosophy with you – and I share this with anybody who asks about what is required in a successful business (it takes care of the get-rich-quick people – very quickly!)

Simply put: Your business is going to be built on a combination of time and money.

You can leverage one for the other to a degree, but you will have to put in both. If you have only a little money, be prepared to put in a lot of time to compensate; if you have a fair bit of money, you can leverage it and spend significantly less time to get to your goal.

Let’s get down to the 3 areas (and they are in order of importance).

1. Mindset:

This is the most important determinant of your success. More than tools, this has been shown to contribute to your success by at least 70%, and that is probably higher. If you come across a truly successful person, ask them what was the most important determinant of their success. Let me save you the time: it will be the belief that they would be successful.
This unwavering belief is what keeps them focussed and persistent till they reach their goals.
As Henry Ford said, “If you think you can do a thing or think you can’t do a thing, you’re right.” So, now that you know this, really spend some time getting motivated and inspired with positive messages. It’ll be well worth it.

There is so much you can get for free on the internet to start off with. Reading Think & Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill was huge for me, and I can validate most of what he said myself. I would suggest to start by reading that book or you can go one better and read the original work from which it was developed, called “The Laws of Success in 16 Lessons”.
You can get that easily AND for free by subscribing to my newsletter on the right side of the page, close to the top. All you need to enter is your email!

Invest In Yourself First

2. Time:

You will have to put in a certain amount of time to develop anything. You can’t throw money at it and expect to be an expert right out of the gate. Buying the best golf clubs you can get will not make you play like Tiger Woods if your goal is to be a champion golfer. You still have to put in the practice – day after day after day! There is simply no shortcut there. 

You can shorten the amount of time you spend honing your craft by getting a coach, who will ensure you don’t make (too many) mistakes. In your online marketing business, as in any business, it is simply impossible to think you can become successful without putting in a decent amount of time and money.

3. Money:

This is a biggie – it is absolutely not necessary for you to have masses of money to start a business or be successful, but you need to be aware that if money is in short supply, you’ve got to be prepared to put in masses of time to compensate, and as money comes into your business, reinvest it to get to the next level.
Money will definitely help you scale a business faster, but if you don’t have a lot of it, be prepared to do a lot of things yourself.

Why should you be aware of this link? It may take such a long time to get to any level of success if you have very little money, that you may have given up the goal from frustration. It’s important to keep your goal in mind as MOTIVATION (and here is where that mindset training you invested in comes in again – it does pay huge dividends!), especially when you become frustrated or discouraged, which will almost certainly happen, whether you have a lot of money to put in it or not.

 Invest In Yourself First

 

Tools to invest in yourself first.

This relates to anything – product or service – that your business offers. Let’s say you market educational products, how could you possibly sell a $5000 coaching product with any degree of success and authenticity if you have never purchased a similar product yourself?

In network marketing, it’s called “Being a product of the product” – there is something about having done the things that you are asking your clients to do that subliminally communicates to them that you have done the very same thing, and that fosters their trust in you and your product.

 

So, once you have your goal and plan (action-based) in place,  you want to put the odds of success in your favour by following the tips outlined above. 

 

Are you still struggling and find there is too much month at the end of the money? Bills unpaid and wanting a bit (or a lot extra) to do the things you need to do and want to do?

How To Build a List With Hot Prospects

How to build a list with hot prospects is probably the question I get asked the most, and here is an in-depth discussion about it. If you’ve been researching internet marketing at all, you may have come across the phrase:

“The Money Is In The List”

This is so true! List building is one of the most crucial elements in any successful online business, which is why I’m laser focused on it!

You may know how to locate a niche and find a product to sell, but without a list of TARGETED customers to promote that product to, you’ll never be in a position to make serious amounts of money online. You need people who are hungry for what you have to offer.

How To Build a List With Hot Prospects

Similarly, you might have the best sales letter ever written, but if no one sees it, you have no-one to sell the product to!

What you need is a way of sending targeted customers, who are therefore hungry for your product or service, to your offers over and over again. The best way of doing this is to capture their email addresses, as this will allow you to stay in contact with them and promote future products to them whenever you want to. Continue reading
