If it is to be it is up to me!

If you’re in business there are good times and bad times.  And when times are difficult it’s easy to complain, whine and be depressed about all sorts of things.

So if you don’t have all the business you want, it’s up to you to do something about it rather than complain, blame the economy etc.

So what can you do?

Do you feel the economical squeeze too?

Did you know that there are 52 yes fifty two ways of spinning out products for coaches, experts and entrepreneurs.

I know it is mindboggling, but never the less it is true. I'm working on a free report, in the background, which will outline in great detail what these 52 ways of creating information products are. I'm not quite sure when it will be available, however the aim is to have it done by the end of  April.

This report will be a downloadable from this site as soon as it is ready.

The money is in keeping your customers for life!

But, before we start, a couple of quick definitions.

A customer is someone who buys something once and you never see them again.  A client is someone who keeps coming back and buying more from you, preferably for life - theirs!

Raise your hand if you like cold prospecting!

Okay, so most of you are firmly sitting on your hands, aren't you? ;-) 

Wouldn't you prefer clients seeking you out rather than you having to go out and prospect?  Clients who self select.  Clients who are interested in what you have to offer and how you can help solve their problems.

Want more clients - who doesn't?

You may have people talk about JV's or joint venture in the past. You may or may not entirely understand the concept of it all.

Let me explain. (definition by Wikipedia)

Are you sick of being told to set goals?

It’s already half way through the first month of 2003. By now you’ve probably read tons of articles telling you that you should be planning the year ahead. If you’re anything like me, you’re heartily sick of them!

Archimedes said, “Give me a lever long enough and a place to stand, and I will move the entire earth”.

Leverage – we’ve all heard about the concept, but just what is it, and how can you use it to be even more successful.

Leverage is all about placing a relatively small amount of force to move a big object. The object in this case may be a large goal which you can either work really hard at by yourself, or use leverage to work smart and achieve it with significantly less effort and time.

Closing the back door

In our business we coach and consult to a wide variety of business owners. Meeting and working with a wide variety of individuals, I’ve been reflecting on why some business owners are really successful and have outstanding businesses while others never really live up to their potential.

It's your attitude that counts

Sometimes you just have to give someone a chance.

This is a true story.

Just about a year ago, we were working with a multi-national dental manufacturer who needed to employ additional sales people. They’d had a run of sales people who hadn’t worked out for one reason or another, so we were keen to find candidates who would stay the distance and produce results.

The world is full of distractions and we all love it and are spending tons of money for it!

 But why?

 I've been pondering the above a lot and have not really reached any conclusions but let me share my thoughts with you anyway.

Does your passion come through?

We all love to be around people who are passionate. And if you're in business you're likely to be passionate about what you do and the difference you can make in your clients' lives. But does it come through in your marketing material?
