Corporate Burnout Series 3

2012-02-08T12:09:00.000-08:00

Success is not about moneyat all. If it were then we have all failed miserably compared to King Solomonof ancient days. His wealth in today’s economy would measure in the 3 to 4trillion dollar price range!

So what is success outsideof money? "A man can fail many times, but he isn't a failure until hebegins to blame someone else." Based on this quote, success would betaking responsibility for our actions.

Jim Rohn said, "Yourpaycheck is not your employer's responsibility; it's your responsibility. Youremployer has no control over your value, but you do." Then success would be how much we value ourself.

Walter Brunell said, ‘Failureis the tuition you pay for success.’ In this case the ability to fail over andover again without giving up would be the definition of success.

“Until you show you can handle what you’ve got, youwon’t get any more.” T Harv Eker, Maybe success is about how well we handlerelationships.

If you were great in buildingrelationships in the corporate world, you could be great at buildingrelationships in the home business industry.

Corporate Burnout Series 2

2012-02-08T12:07:00.000-08:00

This week’stopic is “transferring corporate skills to a home business setting”.

In thecorporate world you did things a certain way and depending on how high you werein the ladder of success you may have had some flexibility in the way you didthings.

Just howmany of your skills can transfer over to working from a home office?

Did you haveassistants back in the job? At home you are the assistant, boss, chief bottlewasher and customer service department.

I learned incorporate world that all crap (issues) flows up hill – meaning if somethinggoes wrong you and I have to make them right. There is noone to delegate to so on the spot decision making and organizational skills areessential in managing a home business.

Since youand I start with no base salary, every activity we do needs to lead to thatupfront commission and month residual income by building our own referral team.

That’s it for now. Thanksfor watching!

The Three Money skills

2012-01-02T10:11:00.000-08:00

“Until you show you can handle what you’ve got, youwon’t get any more.” T Harv Eker

1 Know where your money comes from!

George Odiorne said, “If you can’t measure it, youcan’t manage it”. A money success image permits you the flexibility of idealizingwhere your income can coming from, when it can arrive in your account and fromwhat possible sources. This measuring concept allows you to have a betterfinancial plan from the get go.

Donald Trump said, if you want to make yourselfrich, SOLVE PROBLEMS!” What problems are you solving in our business? Peoplewill gladly pay for solutions. That is why there are doctors, dentists,attorneys, psychologist, plumbers, electricians, mechanics, businessconsultants and God. Make of list possible problems you can solve and get paidfor.

2 Know where yourmoney goes!

BlaineHarris said, “When performance is measured performance improves.”

Don’tbe in the bad habit of squandering money and then wonder where it all wentto. A quote from Jim Rohn,'If I had a fortune, I'd take good care of it. But I only have a paycheck and Idon't know where it all goes.' Wouldn't you love to have him running yourcompany?"

Are you creating assets from your positive money image or are you creating liabilities from an old money mindsetthat takes money out of your pocket? Howdo you know when you are experiencing a new money image? You know where your moneygoes.

3 Know what to do with the extra!

“Live on less than you earn so you can have asurplus to get you out of debt and invest in assets that appreciate.” BlaineHarris

Read Blaine Harris’ book, “the four laws of debtfree prosperity”. It can be a money image game changer for your family.

4 Money Thoughts fromthe Highly Successful

JimRohn said, "If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'llfall into someone else's plan. And guesswhat they have planned for you? Not much.

Successful people are willing to do the things that unsuccessful peoplewon’t.

Thosewho earn the most money all have one talent in common. They have built networksof people.

‘Theman who comes up with a means for doing or producing almost anything better,faster or more economically has his future and his fortune at his fingertips.’J. Paul Getty

OprahWinfrey said, “If you look at what you have in life, you'll always have more.If you look at what you don't have in life, you'll never have enough.”

Robert Louis Stevenson said, “Do not measure success by today's harvest.Measure success by the seeds you plant today.”

“Take responsibility for pushing your business offthe charts and let everyone else wonders what happened.”

10 Ways to Grab More Attention (and More Money) for an Android App

2011-12-05T08:29:00.000-08:00

Take a look in the Android Market. Try to find an app that you need. There are so many apps. So many of them work well, do great things, and are ultimately awesome apps. Making your app stand out is not about having a great app anymore. A great app is only the beginning. To make an app worth downloading, you have to go out and grab people’s attention.

Here are ten great ways to grab attention.

Blog about It! Tell people something new every day, or at least every week. Give them reasons to come back. To get people reading your blog, comment on blogs on a similar topic. If your comments are interesting enough, people will look up your profile and read your blog.

Facebook. Everyone is on Facebook. Build your app a Facebook page – mind you, make that a business page, not a personal profile, or you could get into trouble. Write interesting stuff on the page wall, and invite all of your friends. Ask them to invite all of their friends, too!

Hang your QR. If you own a local business and the app pertains to your business, hang up your QR code prominently so that customers can get your app instantly just by scanning the code!

Twitter. Twitter is a great way to get in touch with people you don’t know. Since you can jump into any conversation, you can search for people who want a utility like yours and tell them about it.

Google+. G+ is still a little new, and the user base isn’t as high as Facebook or Twitter, but the engagement is amazing. Say something interesting, or even a little controversial there, and you will get the conversation going.

Raise your ranking in Android Market. Ask your users to rate the app and make sure they’re rating it well.

Update your app every 4-6 weeks. This puts the app in the “What’s New” section again. Create a family of apps. This improves app discovery by an incredible margin. Think outside the internet. If your app is somewhat localized, then publish information about it in local newspapers or bulletins.

Get on Forums. Find forums where people are discussing apps like your app or needing your functionality. Don’t go in with a heavy plug. Try something gentler like “I’ve actually been working on something like that. Are you interested in hearing about it?” rather than “Get my app, it’ll fix your life.”

The Three Laws of Advertising

2011-11-30T07:22:00.000-08:00

Customers will not come from one single activity, but a multitude of sources.

Law #1: We have to sow our seeds to get new customers. “A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up.

One important fact that most of us do not even consider when we advertise our business is the condition of the soil where we are planning to plant our seeds. If we are not careful in casting our seeds and they land on the path, the birds will eat them up before they have a chance to take root.

Kurt Mortensen of the Enlightened Wealth Institute asks these key questions. What do I want my advertising to accomplish, who should my advertising speak to, what should my advertising say and what advertising medium should I use? We need to consider this when planning our advertising campaign.

Law #2: There is risk involved. Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.

Be careful that your advertising dollars not wasted on useless rocks that will keep your seeds from growing a root system. Marti Barletta said, “The shortest distance between you and business success is marketing to women.”

Women control slightly more than half of all personal wealth in the U.S; women make 83% of family purchasing decisions. At the end of the day it is important to realize that women are the target audience, not a niche audience, particularly online.

According to a Pew Internet survey, 74% of adult women use the internet. This is helpful when deciding what products to sell online, but also indicates that the social nature of the online space not only compliments a woman’s natural talents, but will work to empower female consumers in a new way.

The power of the female customer will not only influence how you market this year and next; it will define your business and marketing strategies for at least the first few decades of the 21st century. If you want to have a business that not only survives, but thrives, women are the target market.

Ladies, you are your own perfect market. Your chances of planting seeds in the right place and having those seeds take root and growing up big and strong have just increased dramatically.

Law #3: There is always a reward. Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.”

Farming is just like building a business. It requires time for seeds to take root and grow. Advertising works just like farming. It requires consistent effort to get any degree of success and there is always a reward!

Those who earn the most money all have one talent in common. They have built networks of people. Choose your advertising wisely.

What makes a Good App?

2011-11-02T10:09:00.001-07:00

Here are the top characteristics of a successful app.

Solve a Pain

This is the main factor for success: top-ranking apps solve some pain that other apps don't solve or just partially solve. No one needs another weather informer, clock, or news reader. Make something unique that solves a common problem.

Appealing Description
Your app's description is the only information available to users to help them decide whether they want to download your app or not. Spend extra time writing an appealing description, and include attractive screenshots, promo graphics, and icons.

Positive user Experience
It doesn't make much sense to simply put your website into an app. Your app should look and behave like a real app, and above all it must be user friendly. Since the smartphone user experience is different from the desktop, your app shouldn't be simply lifted from the desktop world. Difficult? Not really. There are many examples, libraries, and code snippets on how to implement a friendly user interface. Moreover, you can easily make your blog, forum, video, or audio content mobile friendly with many plug-ins and widgets available.

A Better Kind of SEO

2011-10-06T12:13:00.000-07:00

A better kind of SEO does not include pay per click, keyword searches or paying anyone to push your business up through hundreds of thousands to millions of other search terms that yield you ZERO customers.

A better kind of SEO targets your Brand. Do you know what happens you put your Icon, Slogan, Name, Profile, Graphics and Articles on many different Sites and Communities?

Your Brand is pushed up through all of hundreds of thousands to millions of other search terms, past all those companies, products and services that yield you customers who are looking for you!

Go ahead and search for Infomercial Anything and see how many times my company comes up. Too many companies think of SEO in terms of keywords and not their own Brand being the searched for.

J. Paul Getty said, ‘The man who comes up with a means for doing or producing almost anything better, faster or more economically has his future and his fortune at his fingertips.’

All Business need what SEO Branding can do, give your Brand Name a continual word of mouth advertising advantage that keeps your Brand presence fresh and exciting. Take every aspect of your business: Icon, Slogan, Name, Profile, Graphics, Articles, Featured Services and Featured Products and repeat that same content on 2 to 3 dozen online communities, give that process a few weeks then do a search for your Brand Name and see what you come up with.

The beauty of this simple SEO Branding method is it pushes your Brand up.

Federico Bowman said, “Develop your-self in order to cultivate an unbending mental intent. Mental toughness manifests impeccability.” Successful people are willing to do the things that unsuccessful people won’t. Success people have a momentum plan that sustains them during the hard times.

Do a little free SEO Branding every day and watch what happens. And combine this daily exercise with using Ping.fm, Friend Feed and Twitter to support your efforts. Share little bid bits about a new community or site your product, service or company is one. This activity will also help to push you up in the search engines.

Note: Be sure to create a Blog using Blogger aka Blogspot. This will automatically push you up on Google – and use Google +. G+ ties all of your Google activities together for a strong SEO Branding.

According to Bruce Barton, business partner of the 1920’s advertising firm of Batten, Barton, Durstine, and Osborne, thirteen weeks is the time period that an ad campaign must run in order to be completely measurable. All of my marketing or advertising plans are all based on 90 day runs and no less.

Whatever you do online leave it in place to at least 13 weeks for SEO purposes, because Customers will not come from one single activity, but a multitude of sources.

The Parable of the Sower says, “Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.” Farming is just like Branding a Business, it requires time for seeds to take root and grow. Branding works just like farming, it requires consistent effort to get any degree of success and there is always a reward!

Six Simple Ways to Get “Customer Intelligence”

2011-09-20T07:52:00.000-07:00

1) Get face-to-face with your customers, and become part of their lives. Unless you do this, you’ll just be scratching the surface. You’ll be on the outside looking in, and you’ll end up guessing about them instead of knowing. This is the most effective way of all the six ways explained here.

2) Go to Amazon.com and enter keywords for the business category you are interested in. Then pick the top 10 books that show up in the search results.

3) Read the reviews for those books. As you read the reviews, look for the underlying beliefs, desires, feelings, and frustrations being expressed. Keep a list of these. After a while, patterns will emerge to help you start building a cohesive picture of your customer.

4) Join forums where your customers hang out. Reading their questions and answers, offers and requests, gives you information and insights about what makes them tick – and buy.

5) Ask questions on forums. The best questions elicit people's thoughts, feelings and experiences in the real world. The answers could be a gold mine for you.

6) Take surveys on new product ideas, prices, and product features your customers might want. Finding your customers' unsatisfied needs will give you clues about what products/services they might be ready to buy.

Innovation Techniques For Your Personal Brand

2011-09-01T08:55:00.000-07:00

Like innovation, Personal Branding is hard and fresh ideas to stand out are always needed. So what happens when you feel stuck? Here are three time-tested innovation techniques to get you going again:

#1 Copy Ideas. By this, I don’t mean to blatantly copy the branding (and blog posts) of people in your industry. Instead, see what people in other industries are doing effectively – and model your tactics on theirs. Instant ideas and you might even be a pioneer for doing them in your field!

#2 PMI. Have something go wrong with your branding? It’s time for Plus, Minus, Interesting thinking. First, push yourself to think of at least 10 positive (Plus) results of your crisis. Then, jot down a couple negatives (Minus). Finally, think of at least 5 possible Interesting things that could happen as a result. The PMI will give you a different perspective on even the worst situations and help you figure out how to move forward.

#3 Think Backwards. Your brain doesn’t like to think of new ideas. To trick yourself out of a rut, stop trying to figure out how to move forward! Instead imagine you’ve already achieved your goal. Then figure out how you got there. Who helped you? What knowledge helped you get there? What happened to help you on your way? Once you know how you got there, figure out how to make those things happen for you.

Using those innovation tactics will help you generate new strategies and will shake up your thinking when you don’t know what to do next.

4 Common Branding Mistakes Startups Make

2011-07-21T12:22:00.000-07:00

Branding is extremely important for small companies that want to grow and sustain their businesses for the long term. It is a major challenge for a small business to establish a brand because of the lack of funds, resources, people and time.
Yet branding is what makes your company attractive to investors, consumers and future employees. Your brand is the relationship you have with your customers and relationships are not built overnight. A lot of entrepreneurs have difficulty with branding because they prioritize product development and sales before meaning and experience.

A company that doesn’t have a well-defined brand will have trouble with differentiation in the marketplace and with generating media awareness. Here are some common missteps to watch out for.

1. They don’t define a set target market
In order to gain visibility in the marketplace, it’s imperative that you are specific with the types of customers you’re going after. You can’t be everything to everyone or you’ll be nothing to no one. Too many entrepreneurs think that they need a mainstream product for the highest potential sales.

By defining and segmenting your audience, you can appear higher in search engine results and the “right people” will find you and want your product. Think about the age, gender, geography and lifestyle of the people you’re targeting and don’t be afraid to define your market in public. For example, instead of being just another law firm, you can position yourself as “legal counsel for young entrepreneurs in Charlotte.”

If a young entrepreneur in Charlotte is looking for legal support, they will search online and your website will come up. Since you have a well defined position, they will choose you over a more generalist firm that doesn’t understand their needs.

2. They focus too much on advertising and not enough on PR
Sixty-three percent of small to medium-sized businesses advertise online, according to a survey by Affinity Express. While targeted advertising on specific blogs, websites, and through Google AdWords and Facebook Social Ads might help, it’s well worth the investment to get PR support and partner with brands. Public relations is extremely important because what other people say about your brand is more impactful than what you say about yourself.

Self-proclamations don’t build brands; the media does. It’s far better to have a profile in Fortune magazine than it is to pay for a full-page advertisement in the magazine. Earned media is much more respected by customers. Small businesses typically don’t have well-known brands so they require third-party endorsements and partnerships in order to become established.

If people haven’t heard of your company, then it’s helpful if you create strategic partnerships with companies that your market is familiar with. By associating your company with a well-known brand, your company becomes more credible and your brand grows.

3. They don’t build a strong Web presence to attract new customers
Every single business should have a website, but 55 percent of small businesses don’t have one, according to data analyzed by Formstack. How are potential customers supposed to find you? People are searching for you online and every time you don’t come up, there’s another missed opportunity to build your business and brand.

Consumers turn to the Web first before making a purchasing decision. A strong Web presence allows you to point people to where they can find more information about who you are, what you do and what products and services you offer. Instead of blowing money on advertising, invest your resources in social media and your website.

Consumers also turn to their friends, through social networks, when deciding what company to purchase from. That’s why it’s crucial, more than ever before, to create your own profile pages, and engage with your customer base. Start by concentrating your efforts on the top three social networks: Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter.

4. They disable their employees from building their brand
Forty percent of small businesses have a policy that prohibits employees from visiting Facebook, reports Webroot. Small business owners should let their employees use social networking sites as long as they are doing it for the benefit of the company.

Consumers want to hear your story and connect with your employees to get a better sense of your company. If you enable your employees to become evangelists for your company, then you will be able to scale your marketing and foster stronger relationships with your customers. Your employees should be able to build and develop their own personal brands because then they become more valuable to your company.

Sorting Customers

2011-07-19T07:34:00.000-07:00

Sorting and sifting requires being professional by not begging for people to do business with you. Sort through people to attract the right customers! As you sort and sift through potential clients take into consideration the following demographics.

The 5 Demographic Groups are a cross section of 1,000 folks with different color hats on in one stadium.

The Risk Takers are 7% or 70 of the people and are wearing Red Hats. Risk Takers would be the first ones to purchase your product or service by deciding on the spot that what you have is right for them.

The Early Adopters are 25% or 250 of the folks wearing Blue Hats. Early Adopters would be the second ones to purchase your product or service, but not on the first visit. Early Adopters would come back to make their final decision.

The Early Majority are 25% or 250 of the folks wearing Green Hats. Early Majority would be the third ones to purchase your product or service, but not on the first, second and maybe not even the third visit. Early Majority would come back months later to make their final decision.

The Late Majority are 30% or 300 of the folks wearing Purple Hats. Late Majority are maybe’s. Don’t force them to do anything. Simply thank them for stopping by.

Traditionalists are 13% or 140 of the folks wearing Black Hats. These people will never buy from you so just thank them for stopping by.

Risk Takers are the pioneers and entrepreneurs who come in first, followed by the Early Adopters. These are your primary customers who know what they want.

Too bad the wind blew off all their hats.

If you are a Risk Taker you will attract other risk takers to your business, but you have to sort through the other four groups to find your customers. If you are an Early Adopter you will attract early adopters to your business.

Now you know who you are looking for as a customer. Very important - never put yourself in a position of, if you do business with me I will do business with you. Stay away from that devaluing game. This goes back to the begging for client’s issue. It you are not convince about who you are and what you represent - others will notice you needing them posture. Sort, don’t beg.

What is your DMO?

2011-07-05T17:27:00.000-07:00

Jim Rohn said, "If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much.

A Daily Method of Operation should include these vital mental intentions.

Intention #1. A Momentum Plan
Federico Bowman said, “Develop your-self in order to cultivate an unbending mental intent. Mental toughness manifest impeccability.” Successful people are willing to do the things that unsuccessful people won’t. Success people have a momentum plan that sustains them during the hard times.

Intention #2. A Financial Plan
What if that Yes you have been looking for becomes worth a million dollars? People who do not plan their life out to some degree won’t attain that yes, simply because they won’t put their self in an uncomfortable personal position. Unbending mental intent is the power that allows your plan to happen, otherwise that wishful million dollars will go to someone else.

Intention #3. A Responsibility Plan
In order to keep sustained momentum you must take responsibility for pushing your business off the charts and let everyone else wonder what happened. The highly success people I know of do one thing that not so success people won't do. These highly successful people take full responsibility for the seeds they plant. They don't blame anyone or anything for wrong results. They blame themselves.

Intention #4. A Company Culture Plan
Walter Brunell said, ‘Failure is the tuition you pay for success.’ The most successful people in business know who they are, what they want and how to treat people the right way. Their company culture is a reflection of who they are as a person. Who do you want to be?

Intention #5. A Thirteen Week Ad Campaign
According to Bruce Barton, business partner of the 1920’s advertising firm of Batten, Barton, Durstine, and Osborne, thirteen weeks is the time period that an ad campaign must run in order to be completely measurable. All of my marketing or advertising plans are all based on 90 day runs and no less.

Intention #6. A Tempered Vision
Henry Ford said, "A company needs smart young men with the imagination and the guts to turn everything upside down if they can. It also needs old figures to keep them from turning upside down those things that ought to be right side up." I also find the most successful business people are well tempered with a visionary way of doing business.

Intention #7. Start with the End in Mind
I once read that if you are going to doubt something, doubt your limits. The Bible says that without a vision the people perish. Again the highly successful people do the opposite of mass society and they make things happen like rain makers. These people know what they want and they create an end in mind plan.

Intention #8. Leadership-Ability
You have to press your own leadership button first to find out who will be attracted to you. As you build your business remember what John Maxwell said, “Learn to lead from where you are.” I like what the late Brian Klemmer said, ‘Leaders change the situation instead of being changed by the situation’.

8 Top Tips For Social Media Marketing

2011-06-23T19:37:00.000-07:00

There is no doubt about it. Social media marketing is becoming more and more an integral part of the business environment. Procter & Gamble is ditching its TV Soap Operas for YouTube marketing instead. Coca Cola, Johnson & Johnson, and other large companies have also jumped on board.

The “fad” is growing into a mainstay. These media are no longer curiosities; they are becoming valid ways to grow your base of customers.

With that in mind, I want to share a few things I’ve learned about these media since I first started using them to reach out to customers and potential customers.

I’ve made a number of mistakes, so my point here is to share some ideas to keep you from making the same mistakes I made or mistakes that I’ve seen others make.

So here are few things to keep in mind:

1. When you are asked to complete your online profile, make sure you answer it completely with information about you and your business. Use your real name and your photo. I’ve seen so many photos of people’s dogs, cats, and everything that didn’t have to do with their business. I have found that a picture of you is always the best. Again, complete the entire information on your portfolio so that others can communicate with you if they so desire.

2. In your profile, detail who you are seeking to befriend and ask everyone to abide by that information. You don’t need nor want to be friends with everyone.

3. Don’t approach strangers and ask them to be friends with you just so that you can then try to sell them your products or services.

4. Use two different accounts. One for your business and one personal account. Don’t mix them together.

5. Don’t put anything on the internet that you don’t want your future wife, boss, clients, or potential clients to read or see.

6. Pick a screen name that says something about you.

7. Offer information of value. Don’t just talk about yourself or your company. For instance, a lot of my connections include one of my marketing tips each month to their connections. This is one way they provide value instead of always just talking about their company, products, or services. They can also offer health tips, or other information valuable to their audience. There are lots of things that can be offered.

8. Never post anything to a group when you are tired; you are apt to make serious mistakes. It also goes without saying…don’t post after you’ve had a few glasses of wine with dinner. And never, ever post when you are angry or upset.

You will regret it later.

There is little difference in connecting with individuals either online or offline. Create trust and be authentic. Don’t try to be someone you aren’t.
