I share these words on the yearning for freedom, the piecing together of the varied and variable pieces of our lives, and the journey to self-reclaimed wholeness this evening because I feel the desire to have my words and the remembrance of freedom to echo in the minds of just a few more people tonight. I want the words to dance on your skin, and lift your bones into a giddy glee, so that you walk with a bounce in your step and you are able to then pass on the palpable feeling of freedom to someone else as well. This is how we do our part, we leave others more inspired than when we found them.
“In my heart of hearts,
I know what is supposed to happen here
as I see with my own two eyes.
Bless this mess of mine,
as I let the raft sink or swim,
the burial will not be long gone or forgotten,
but the sunrise will.
Forget the days of old when the sun shone cold
and the breathless moon spun a golden hue over the land.
This is the day long awaited,
and it is here we wait, baited,
Truthlessly truthful, loyal, and completely naked.
The experience of the beingness in pure nakedness,
in sober, somber, alert nakedness invites me in.
It shares it’s simplicity with me, reminding me of a time long ago when this state wasn’t quite so foreign.
Remember when all sung and danced and roamed and laughed?
There was joy in the air, we lived and breathed peace.
We leapt for the sun, and ran amok with worms between our toes
and not a care passing our beauty-lusting minds. The wind was our great song, and the mountains, our stable throne. We were the ladies and lords of the land, sharing in her ever-unfolding mystery.
Together we played, together we wept.
Together, that was the important part.
Inconspicuous meandering of a shepherd’s heart,
left way for the two fiddles and a bow harp.
Dance, as though life so depends on it- because it does!
Life is the dance we all step to –
Intricate weaving of patterns of mine and yours makes the stitches of our bonds,
and our bonds interlace and create a great tapestry of all these connections and internal spaces. This is what I’m looking at now as I write this out – the great unfolding of this great choreography. Though the players may seem shady and much more a nuisance than an asset for now, we find that without them, what would I be? Without this, what would I have missed? These people come and these people go, belittling or inflating you as they make their passage through your life. To collapse into a heap over something one of these people say is to leave yourself. It doesn’t ever matter what they say, so long as you don’t agree. I’m learning this voraciously right now. I may never find that perfect half to my whole, and the way I see it, that’s okay. I’m at a point where I see that it’s not about waiting for someone else to complete my puzzle for me. I am not a broken jigsaw puzzle, I am the ocean’s view scenery on the front of the game-box! I am the entire view, and I can be shiny on my own accord. “
It used to be common for someone to stay in a job for 20 to 25 years and then retire. But now, a person who’s been at the same job that long is as rare as a unicorn. So, how long is too long nowadays—and is it time for you to quit?
“Years ago, a colleague of mine who had held the same title for a number of years went to HR to discuss why she wasn’t getting promoted,” Jen Hubley Luckwaldt wrote on PayScale.com. The HR person replied: “People really only have your job for two years, max. Then they leave and go somewhere else. You’ve been here, what, six years? That’s too long. I don’t know what to tell you,” Luckwaldt wrote.
“The norm is for people to move around a lot more than they did a few decades ago,” said Marie McIntyre, a career coach and author of “Secrets to Winning at Office Politics.” “I think when you’re looking at resumes now, it’s kind of unusual to see a resume where someone has been with the same company for 15 to 20 years.”
In fact, the average employee tenure was 4.6 years last year, according to the Labor Department.
The pros of moving around include getting a raise, which McIntyre estimates is often around 15 to 20 percent, building your industry experience and broadening your network.
Nowhere is the longtime employee more rare nowadays than on Wall Street.
“Large banks have shown no loyalty to their employees and have let go of long time and short time people over the past few years, so there isn’t any stigma either way,” one former Wall Street trader said.
“One piece of advice I got a long time ago, ‘Do you have your resume ready at all times? No? Your CEO does.'”
Close your eyes and imagine ten more years at the same job you have now…
“Companies used to have more clear paths to leadership without additional education or outside experience. You could increase your responsibilities each year,”
Matt Wallaert, a 30-year-old behavioral scientist at Microsoftsaid. “But that job structure has changed: It is very common for people to reach a ceiling where they can’t climb any higher, simply because there is nowhere else for them to go.”
So, they’ll have to go somewhere else to get that higher-level job, that different experience or education in order to advance.
Still, he suggests the right answer is “if.” If you’re still being challenged, if your compensation is fair, if your responsibilities continue to increase, then it’s OK to stay at the same job a long time.
McIntyre agrees. While changing jobs every four or five years tends to be viewed as a plus nowadays, if you stay at one company for 10 years or more but get promoted three or four times, that looks good to prospective employers.
However, she cautioned that sometimes, employers are dubious of long-timers and their ability to adapt to a new environment. There’s a risk that they’ll keep saying: Well, when I was at X company, we used to do it this way.
And, of course, “long time” is relative to the industry. In the tech world, McIntyre said, six months is a long time to be at one job, while in government, five years is “still regarded as kind of new to people who’ve been there longer!”
McIntyre said she’s definitely seen an uptick in people looking for a new job as the economy improves.
“The most-visited page on our website this quarter was ‘Job Hunting When You Have a Job,” she said. “That’s the first time ever!” The site, which has been around since 2005, typically sees the most traffic on its performance pages such as “How to Ask for a Raise.”
“People hate feeling trapped,” McIntyre said.” I think during the down economy, a lot of people just felt trapped.”
And, she’s seeing her clients get more job offers.
“I don’t get as many letters anymore about how bad the economy is!” she said. “It’s more about job-search strategies.”
So, how do you know if it’s time to leave your job?
Amanda Augustine, a job-search expert offers these sure signs:
You dread going to work in the morning.
You truly dislike the type of work you’re doing.
You can’t shake the feeling that you just don’t fit in at the company.
You are getting passed over for promotions.
The work has become so routine you could do it in your sleep.
You have serious concerns about the financial stability of your organization.
McIntyre adds that if your boss screams, yells and curses at you often, it’s also time.
And, if you’re a boss wondering if your employees are looking for a job right now, the answer is yes. Seventy-four percent of employees admitted that they have looked for a new job while at work, according to a recent survey from Right Management.
So, uh, how exactly do you that? First of all remember this:
Luckwaldt said first, don’t use company equipment. Just assume that your employer is tracking your Internet wanderings. It’s better to set up email alerts from various job sites and check your email on your phone.
And, the former trader adds, get out there networking like your life depends on it and have your resume handy at all times. If you’re out there looking, you never know when it’s “go” time!

Here Is The Not So Secret Strategy For Growing Your E. N. Business And How You Can Short-Cut the Whole Process…
What’s the number one problem I hear all the time from my downline?
Getting leads (or new people to talk to about their business) and then converting those leads into customers or downline members.”
If the number one problem of my downline is that they need leads, isn’t it safe to believe that it is also the number one problem of those prospects who are in other companies?
By focusing on generating leads last year, I became one of the top recruiters in my primary company.
I realized that more people are going to say “NO” to my company than say “YES”.
That’s just a marketing fact that can’t be overcome.
EARNING LEADS…THAT’S RIGHT, EARNING LEADS
But, what I learned to do was ASK those who said NO to my offer “why” they said NO. Over 50% said NO to my company because it either didn’t hit their “hot” button, or they liked another company better.
But, the next question I learned to ask those who were joining another company was:
“What are you doing for leads?”
By adding those 6 simple words to your presentation, you can learn how to not only make more money in your Primary company, you can also learn how to make a nice secondary check by introducing them to Empower Network as a lead generation platform!
Case Study #1–Another Lead Company
One ad generated me 147 leads. It cost me $115.20.
7 people (5%) purchased MLSP and I made $120 in commission from ANOTHER (over a few months from those 7 people) and signed-up 2 people into my primary company.
Which translates into:
– I recovered my advertising costs
– I recruited 2 people into my primary company
– I still have 147 leads I can connect with and recruit more of them or offer them tools or training as an affiliate.
With the same 147 leads, here’s how much I make from the same marketing efforts:
– 147 leads x 15% = 22 sign-up
– The system shows that you make on average $162 per lead which gives me $3564.
Same advertising but huge difference in income.
Check it out, there’s a video that shows you exactly how Empower Network works.
So far the numbers work exactly as that for The Prosperity Team

These barriers to success are easy to overcome, but only when you know they’re there. Why do some people achieve their goals while others fail? I believe it’s because successful people manage to overcome five barriers that, in many cases, guarantee failure. Here are those barriers and how to overcome them:
1. Uninspiring Goals
When most people set goals, they envision a “thing,” such as a particular amount of money, an object (like a new car), or a specific achievement (like writing a book). Unfortunately, these “things I’m gonna get or do” goals don’t appeal to the core of what motivates you, because they miss the point that what you’re actually seeking in life and work is the POSITIVE EMOTIONS that you believe those things will produce.
Fix: Rather than envisioning a “thing” as your goal, envision–with all the strength in your imagination–how you will feel when you achieve the goal. That way, you’ll be inspired to do whatever it takes (within legal and ethical bounds) to achieve that goal.
2. Fear of Failure
If you’re afraid of failing, you won’t take the necessary risks required to achieve your goal. For example, you won’t make that important phone call, because you’re afraid that you’ll be rebuffed. Or you won’t quit your dead-end job and start your own business because you’re afraid that you might end up without any money.
Fix: Decide–right now!–that failure, for you, is a strictly temporary condition. If things don’t go the way you’d like, it’s only a setback that, at most, delays your eventual success. In other words, accept the fact that you’ll sometimes fail, but treat that failure as an unavoidable (yet vital) component in your quest.
3. Fear of Success
In many ways, this fear is even more debilitating than the fear of failure. Suppose you achieved something spectacular, like enormous wealth. What if it didn’t make you happy? What then? What if you ended up losing all of it? What then? Would your friends start acting weird? Would your family be envious? Such thoughts (and they’re common) can cause even a highly motivated person to self-sabotage.
Fix: Decide that you’re going to be happy and grateful today and happy and grateful in the future, no matter what happens. Rather than focus on possible problems, envision how wonderful it would be to be able to help your friends and family achieve THEIR goals. (Hint: Watch the last season of the TV series Entourage!)
4. An Unrealistic Timetable
Most people vastly overestimate what they can do in a week and vastly underestimate what they can do in a year. Because of this, most people try to cram too many action items into the short term rather than spacing out activities over the long term. The inability to get all the short-term steps accomplished creates discouragement and the impression that the final goal is slipping away.
Fix: As you list the activities and steps required to achieve a goal, schedule only the 20% of the activities that will produce 80% of your results. (I explain more about this in the post The Secret of Time Management.) Beyond that, set ambitious long-term timetables, but always leave some “wiggle room” when you plan short term.
5. Worrying About “Dry Spots”
It’s easy to get discouraged when you reach a point at which nothing you do seems to advance you toward your goal. For example, suppose you’re trying to master a certain skill. You make swift progress at first but then, after a while, it seems as if you’re not doing any better, or maybe a little worse. Some people use these “plateaus” or “dry spots” as an excuse to give up and therefore fail.
Fix: Whenever you reach a plateau or dry spot, it’s time to celebrate rather than give up. A plateau is almost always a sign that you’re on the brink of a major breakthrough, if you just have the patience to stick with it and trust that you’ll eventually achieve your goal.

The whole point of creating a Facebook Page for your
business is to build a fan base of people interested in
your product or service, right?
Dennis Kennedy at mkcomputers feels that Facebook Pages
are a great tool for interacting with your fans on a regular basis and for them to discover whether or not your product or service is right for them.
But to build a HUGE fan base you need people clicking
the all mighty “LIKE” button on your Facebook page. Yep, the tiny little button
sitting at the top of your page. 🙂
Gone are the days of “Become a fan.” Today, it’s all
about the “LIKES” and YOU WANT THEM (a lot of them!)
Because without them… you have ZERO reach. If you
have zero reach, you make ZERO dollars.
And this is where most Page Admins fall flat on their
face.
Let me explain…
Have you ever visited a Facebook Page for a business,
only to land on their “Wall” where you see the comments
and status updates?
If so, did it make you want to “LIKE” the page?
Probably not.
Allowing your visitors to land on your “Wall” is the #1 mistake
Page Admins are making all across Facebook.
But it doesn’t have to be this way…
Because as a Page Admin, you have the ability to create
a custom landing page AND set this page as your “Default
Landing Tab” for your Page.
You’ll first need to install an iFrame application into your
page (which is beyond the scope of this post unfortunately.)
This will allow you to create a custom tab on your Page.
Once you have your custom tab, you will want to create
some type of “offer” along with a “call to action” to entice
people to “LIKE” your page.
An example offer would be something like this:
“Click Like Above To Get Access To _______”
It’s proven that you will get more “Likes” just by making
this one small change to your Facebook Page.
Good luck!

Reasons Why You Will Never Build a Successful Business
This article title above might sound provocative or offensive but if you can keep an open mind, you will come to appreciate my point of view. Sorry if the truth that you will never build a successful business hurts; but i just want to be straight and clear, no sentiments.
“Starting a business is like building a ship and embarking on a voyage, armed with a plan, a map and a team. You will have to sail against storms, unpredictable weather and uncertainty. If your ship sinks, it’s either you quit or you swim back to shore, build a new ship and sail again.” – Ajaero Tony Martins
I believe you have heard several times that entrepreneurship is a process; a journey, not a destination. In an article i wrote on this blog, i explained the step by step phases of the entrepreneurial process; a process through which every entrepreneur must undergo to build a successful business.
Unfortunately, I stressed in that article that not all who begin the entrepreneurial process will see the end and that’s a harsh truth. What this implies is that not every entrepreneur who starts a business will end up with a successful business; many will end up with trash and most will have nothing. Now what makes me so confident of the fact that you will never build a successful business? You will find out below.
“Starting a business is like jumping out of an airplane without a parachute. In mid air, the entrepreneur begins building a parachute and hopes it opens before hitting the ground.” – Rich Dad
Building a successful business from scratch is definitely not an easy task. Everyday, I come across highly motivated aspiring entrepreneurs who have been stirred by the entrepreneurial spirit and they are rushing out to start their own businesses. These new entrepreneurs possess the needed passion; they have the fire of enthusiasm emitting from their eyes and with this iron clad enthusiasm, they start their own business.
But despite the passion and enthusiasm, these new entrepreneurs usually follow a similar path; a path trodden by so many entrepreneurs. A path that makes true the statistics that 99% of all businesses started usually fail in their first five to ten years. Meeting these entrepreneurs and studying their entrepreneurial pattern made me come up with ten strong reasons why I believe you will never build a successful business.
In the process of reading this article, you are bound to either criticize me or analyze my points and see reasons with me. Either way, you are entitled to your own opinion but I will advice you keep an open mind and reflect on my point of view.
Before I proceed, I want to state clearly that building a successful business is not an impossibility. Rather, it is you the entrepreneur that makes it either a possibility or impossibility. This brings me to a quote from my most respected mentor:
“There are no bad business and investment opportunities; we only have bad entrepreneurs and investors.” – Robert Kiyosaki
So if you are ready to learn something new today, then let’s set the ball rolling. Below are 10 reasons why i believe you will never start and build a successful business.
10 Reasons Why You Will Never Build a Successful Business
“Most people are waiting for the perfect time to start a business; they are waiting for all stars to line up and all lights to go green. Unfortunately, that perfect time will never come. To be an entrepreneur, you must start with what you have on ground and pick up the rest along the way.” – Robert Kiyosaki
1. You are afraid of failing
“Restlessness is discontent and discontent is the first necessity of progress. Show me a thoroughly satisfied man and I will show you a failure.” – Thomas Edison
Whenever I discuss the subject of entrepreneurship and business development with my protégés; I often mention the fear of failure as the utmost reason why most entrepreneurs will never start a business. Immediately I bring up the issue of fear; I am often met with stiff oppositions and statements such as:
“Why should I fear failure?
“I am not afraid of failing; I am only waiting for the right time.”
While I do not doubt such statements, I want you to know that the fear of failure is a silent reason why many entrepreneurs shy away from undergoing the entrepreneurial process; and invariably avoid building a business. Being afraid or doubtful is not a sin; it is natural to express fear but the wrong comes when your fear overpowers your faith.
“Fear is faith that it won’t work.” – Mary Kay Ash“
If we try and fail, we have temporary disappointments. But if we do not try at all, we have permanent regrets.” – Bern Williams
I have seen individuals with the right opportunity, the right plan, tools and everything they need to get started but they just don’t want to start. Why? The reason they don’t start is because they are afraid of making mistakes and failing. They keep procrastinating because the fear of failure in them is stronger than their faith.
“Show me a failure and I will show you a man, who does today, what he should have done yesterday.” – Ajaero Tony Martins
“Don’t fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things.” – Louis Boone
Now how do you know you are afraid of failing? You will know you are afraid of failure if you have attended some seminars, read a lot of books on business and entrepreneurship and you have even taken a bold step to draw a plan of the business you intend starting. Deep down in you, you know you are fully prepared to launch your business, but for some reasons best known to you, you just don’t want to take the leap. And by avoiding taking that leap of faith into the world of business; a world of challenges and uncertainty, you are invariably denying yourself a once in a lifetime opportunity.
“To avoid failure is to limit accomplishment.” – Will Rogers“
Defeat is not the worst of failures. Not to have tried is the true failure.” – George Edward Woodberry
If the situation explained above best describes you, then know that you are being held back by the fear of failure. My advice to you is this; don’t ever start a business if you are afraid of failing, even if it’s the world’s most profitable business idea because you will definitely fail. Statistics reveal that nine out of every ten businesses started fail in their first five years. This simply means the odd that you might fail is high and I bet you, you can never beat this odd with fear in your eyes. So until you change your mindset and develop some winning attitudes, forget about building a business.
“Like success, failure is many things to many people. With positive mental attitude, failure is a learning experience, a rung on the ladder, and a plateau at which to get your thoughts in order to prepare to try again.” – W. Clement Stone
“I have taken more than 9000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. Twenty six times I have been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I have failed over and over again in my life; and that is why I succeed.” – Michael Jordan
2. You want to “Get Rich Quick.”
What is your major motivation for starting a business? Why do you want to build a business? These two questions may sound casual to your ears but their answers make big differences in the life of every entrepreneur. These questions are so important that I had to write an article on my blog simply to stress their importance. I have observed that 90% of entrepreneurs start their own business just to make money and get rich quick.
“I built a conglomerate and emerged the richest black man in the world in 2008 but it didn’t happen overnight. It took me thirty years to get to where I am today. Youths of today aspire to be like me but they want to achieve it overnight. It’s not going to work. To build a successful business, you must start small and dream big. In the journey of entrepreneurship, tenacity of purpose is supreme.” – Aliko Dangote
Your desire to get rich will not take you far enough in business. If building a successful business is your priority, then will you need a stronger fuel to power you towards your desired destination. I can’t tell you what that fuel is because you have to find yours. Everybody’s fuel, passion, motivation or source of inspiration can never be the same. But I advice you, that fuel or source of motivation should never be money; It has to be something higher than money.
“You know you are on the road to success if you would do your job and not get paid for it.” – Oprah Winfrey
So if you are going to start and build a successful business, you must abandon the get rich quick concept and focus on value creation. If you can solve a problem, create value and fill a need, solution seekers or customers will find you and when they do, the money will follow.
“Build wealth as a by product of your business success. If wealth is your only objective in business, you will probably fail.” – J. Paul Getty
3. You Lack Experience
“Experience taught me a few things. One is to listen to your gut no matter how good something sounds on paper. The second is that you are generally better off sticking with what you know and the third is that sometimes, your best investments are the ones you don’t make.” – Donald Trump
Most new entrepreneurs basically lack experience. When it comes to running a business; competence matters a lot and competence is a product of experience. After getting the right education, the next thing is to get some real life experience. Why am I emphasizing the importance of experience? I am emphasizing the importance of experience because building a business is a game of experience.
A business idea will always look exciting and positive on paper but bringing such idea into manifestation is a game of ups and downs. Even if your business collapses and you lose everything, your greatest asset in starting a new business is going to be your experience from the past business failure. It’s priceless.
“Good judgment comes from experience and experience comes from bad judgment.” – Dr Wayne Dyer
When trying to raise capital for your business, investors will ask you this question;
What experience do you have running a business?
When you intend to raise capital by taking your company public, you will be asked by investors;
How much have you raised previously and how many companies have you taken public?
All these illustrations and questions boils down to the word “Experience.” Experience in business is measured by the number of years spent running a business; the business challenges you have met and surmounted, grounds you have gained and achievements you have made. Experience entails making business mistakes and learning quickly from them. It is all about knowing what works and what doesn’t. For instance, I can never compare myself with entrepreneurs like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs because they have been in the game for years and have results to prove it.
So if you really want to start and build a successful business, then you must be willing to learn and gain some real life experience. When I say learn, I don’t mean going to a seminar or buying a book; it’s beyond that. What I mean is you have to learn quickly from your real life mistakes. You have to start small; make every mistake possible, gain some experience, increase your business skills and confidence. If you learn from your business mistakes, you won’t repeat them and these mistakes will become priceless lessons and ultimately; you will end up gaining some experience.
“In times of rapid change, experience could be your worst enemy.” – J. Paul Getty
4. You are using the wrong marketing tool.
Another reason why you will never build a successful business is because you are using the wrong marketing tool. I have seen entrepreneurs use their limited business capital to buy useless advertising slots from advertising agencies. Big time advert slots from advertising agencies are for big corporations with millions of dollars to spend; not for entrepreneurs with limited budget. Moreover, advertising agencies don’t guarantee results, all they do is use your business capital to win themselves awards for creativity.
Real guerrilla marketing should reflect in the books. Successful marketing campaigns are measured by an increase in sales and brand loyalty.
Successful Marketing = Increase In Sales
Increase in Sales = Increase In Income
Increase in Income = Increase In Profit
If you want to succeed in business, you must know the difference between mass marketing and niche marketing. You must also strive to make sure that your marketing strategy produces result.
5. You give up too easily
A principle of life I have come to observe is this;
In every profitable venture you engage yourself in, the pains will always come before the gains.
That’s why I said earlier that a business idea on paper is different from executing the business idea. A business idea will always look exciting and promising on paper but when you launch it, you will begin to see business challenges and critical problems you never expected.
“Press on. Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.” – Ray Kroc
This is the reason why I asked earlier in this article about your reason for starting a business. If your “why” for starting a business is not strong enough, you will back down and quit along the way. In the process of starting and building a successful business, perseverance and persistence is very crucial. Every journey has a process; a beginning and an end. If you want to build a great business that will outlive you, then you must be willing to stick to the process.
“In the game of building a success business and attaining financial freedom, the process is more important than the goal and this process surely has an end. If you stick to the process, you will hit the pot of gold.” – Robert Kiyosaki
10 Reasons Why You Will Never Build a Successful Business
6. You lack focus
“The sun rays do not burn until brought to a focus.” – Anonymous
I can’t remember who made this statement or where I came across it but I really think it’s the truth. Focus is fundamental to success in business. If you lack focus, then forget about starting and building a business. I have seen new entrepreneurs dream of owning multiple businesses. Now let me ask; how can you own multiple businesses when you have not been able to run one competently.
“The men who have succeeded are men who have chosen one line and stuck to it.” – Andrew Carnegie
I have also seen some entrepreneurs start a business and quit after some years. Before you know it, they have started another business. These set of entrepreneurs are always looking for the new hot business opportunity of the month. The sad fact is that these entrepreneurs will spend their entire life building castles in the air. Instead of jumping from one business to another, why don’t you simply focus and bring out the best in that single company of yours. After all, Bill Gates did not become rich by building multiple businesses; he became rich by building Microsoft. Michael Dell did not build multiple businesses; he focused on Dell Computer Corporation, so why shouldn’t you focus.
“Concentrate your energy, your thoughts and your capital.” – Andrew Carnegie
7. You have no plan and strategy
“My most important word in business is ‘Strategy’ and the reason is this: The speed at which your business grows is directly proportional to the overall strategy deployed on that business and the team behind the creation of that strategy.” – Ajaero Tony Martins
Sometimes, I am approached by highly motivated aspiring entrepreneurs who are getting ready to start their own business. “I am about quitting my job to start my own business, what advice do you have for me? This is often the question asked by these aspiring entrepreneurs and my reply to them is always this; “Do you have a plan?
“A plan is a bridge to your dreams. Your job is to make the plan or bridge real, so that your dreams will become real. If all you do is stand on the side of the bank and dream of the other side, your dreams will forever be just dreams. First make your plans real and then your dreams will come true.” – Rich Dad
Now I am throwing the same question at you: “do you have a plan? Before ever starting a business, it is advisable you create a business plan, marketing plan and an overall strategy.
“A successful business is created before there is a business.” – Rich Dad
“A poorly designed business will fail even if the business is profitable.” – Robert Kiyosaki
Success in business starts with a strong plan and a well laid out strategy. Your plan and strategy must thoroughly cover three things;
How to start the business
How to survive
How to grow or expand the business
“Plans are only good intentions unless they immediately degenerate into hard work.” – Peter F. Drucker
8. You have no set goals
“Aim for the moon. If you miss it, you may hit a star.” – W. Clement Stone
This is another reason why you will never start and build a successful business. I hope you know that starting a business without a goal is like embarking on a journey without a destination. Why is a goal important? A goal is important because it is going to be your ultimate source of motivation and a check point for you; a benchmark on which to access your level of progress.
“No matter how carefully you plan your goals, they will never be more than pipe dreams unless you pursue them with gusto.” – W. Clement Stone
Most people are lazy when it comes to goal setting and without goals, you will just be beating about the bush. If you study the life of great entrepreneurs, you will observe they are goal getters.
“I intend to be, the richest man in the world.” – Howard Hughes
9. You want to do build a business alone.
“Individuals don’t win in business, teams do.” – Sam Walton
If you are ever going to build a great business, then you must drop the “do it yourself” mentality. Whenever successful entrepreneurs are being interviewed, I always watch or listen with keen interest. While most individuals talk about doing things themselves, these great entrepreneurs always attribute their achievements and success to their business team; they also emphasize the need to delegate duties to people smarter than you.
“Successful businessmen share the ability to hire people smarter than they are.” – Dillard Munford
If you are self centered or “I” conscious, then you will never go far in the business world. I have heard of self made millionaires but I don’t think there is anything like a self made, stand alone multi billionaire. Just as Andrew Carnegie says:
“You cannot become super rich without first enriching others.” – Andrew Carnegie
One secret to the success of most great entrepreneur is their ability to hire smart people and delegate certain tasks to these smart people. When you think of hiring smart people, think of Bill Gates and his Micro Kids.
“Teams should be able to act with the same unity of purpose and focus as a well motivated individual.” – Bill Gates
10. You lack the required business skills
“Skills make you rich, not theories.” – Rich Dad
This is another glaring reason why I said you will never build a successful business. Before I go further, let me as you the following questions.
Are you a good communicator?
Do you love selling?
Can you lead people or undertake projects?
Can you balance your check book and interpret a financial statement?
Are you brave, daring and ambitious?
Can you handle or work under pressure?
If your answer to the questions above is no, then I am sorry you will never succeed in business because business is a game of skills and strategy. Before ever starting a business, I will advice you spend some time developing the required entrepreneurial skills. You can do that by attending seminars and reading some books. Not withstanding, developing your entrepreneurial skills is a continuous process; as long as you are in the game of entrepreneurship, you must keep improving your skills.
“The ability to sell is the number one skill in business. If you cannot sell, don’t bother thinking about becoming a business owner.” – Rich Dad
To succeed in business, you will need to develop your communication skills; accounting skills, sales skill, negotiation skills, leadership skills and your personal skills. If you can’t develop all of these, then build a business team that will complement your weakness or you will fail.
“In the course of building a business; leadership skill is not an option. It’s a must.” – Rich Dad
11. You are not willing to pay the price
“Every goal has a process and every process has a price.” – Robert Kiyosaki
Finally, I don’t need to write much on this because it is self explanatory. What is the price you pay to be the best student in school? My answer is long hours of study. What is the price you pay to be the best in sports? My answer is hard preparation and constant practice. What is the price you pay to start and build a successful business from scratch? My answer is “I don’t know.“
In the process of building a business, there is definitely a huge price to pay. What this price is; I don’t know. One unique thing about the business world is that the price for building a successful business never seems to be the same. The price for success paid by Bill Gates is definitely different from the price paid by Ray Kroc or Steve Jobs.
All I can say is this; you will definitely not go far if you are not prepared to pay the price for success in business. Though everyone will not pay the same price, always bear in mind that you must pay a price and “with every price comes a great reward.”
As a final note, the most important fact i want you to always remember is that starting and building a successful business is not an impossibility. Rather, it is you, the entrepreneur that makes it either a possibility or impossibility. If you succeed, it’s your fault. If you fail, it’s still your fault. You are the architect of your own fate

So why not start today?

“Success is doing what you want to do, when you want, where you want, with whom you want, as much as you want.”
So if you are ready to learn the secrets of achieving your goals, living a fearless life and becoming a success; then below are the best “Anthony” Tony Robbins quotes on life, fears, goals and success.
1. “If you can’t, you must. If you must, you can.”
2. It’s not knowing what to do; it’s doing what you know.”
3. “You are now at a crossroads. This is your opportunity to make the most important decision you will ever make. Forget your past. Who are you now? Who have you decided you really are now? Don’t think about who you have been. Who are you now? Who have you decided to become? Make this decision consciously. Make it carefully. Make it powerfully.”
4. “I believe life is constantly testing us for our level of commitment and life’s greatest rewards is reserved for those who demonstrate a never-ending commitment to act until they achieve. This level of resolve can move mountains, but it must be constant and consistent. As simplistic as this may sound, it is still the common denominator separating those who live their dreams from those who live in regret.”
5. “If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always gotten.”
6. “For changes to be of any true value, they’ve got to be lasting and consistent. Any time you sincerely want to make a change, the first thing you must do is to raise your standards. When people ask me what really changed my life eight years ago, I tell them that absolutely the most important thin was changing what I demanded of myself. I wrote down all the things I would no longer accept in my life, all the things I would no longer tolerate, and all the things that I aspired to becoming.”
7. “If you don’t set a baseline standard for what you’ll accept in life, you’ll find it’s easy to slip into behaviors and attitudes or a quality of life that’s far below what you deserve.”
8. “Live life fully while you’re here. Experience everything. Take care of yourself and your friends. Have fun, be crazy; be weird. Go out and screw up! You’re going to anyway, so you might as well enjoy the process. Take the opportunity to learn from your mistakes: find the cause of your problem and eliminate it. Don’t try to be perfect; just be an excellent example of being human.”
9. “Most people fail in life because they major in minor things.”
10. “More than anything else, I believe it’s our decisions, not the conditions of our lives that determine our destiny.”
11. “It’s not what’s happening to you now or what has happened in your past that determines who you become. Rather, it’s your decisions about what to focus on, what things mean to you, and what you’re going to do about them that will determine your ultimate destiny.”
12. “Live with passion!”
13. “We can change our lives. We can do, have, and be exactly what we wish.”
14. “The path to success is to take massive, determined action.”
15. “One reason so few of us achieve what we truly want is that we never direct our focus; we never concentrate our power. Most people dabble their way through life, never deciding to master anything in particular.”
16. “To effectively communicate, we must realize that we are all different in the way we perceive the world and use this understanding as a guide to our communication with others.”
17. “The truth of the matter is that there’s nothing you can’t accomplish if: (1) You clearly decide what it is that you’re absolutely committed to achieving, (2) You’re willing to take massive action, (3) You notice what’s working or not, and (4) You continue to change your approach until you achieve what you want, using whatever life gives you along the way.”
18. “The secret of success is learning how to use pain and pleasure instead of having pain and pleasure use you. If you do that, you’re in control of your life. If you don’t, life controls you.”
19. “Goals are a means to an end, not the ultimate purpose of our lives. They are simply a tool to concentrate our focus and move us in a direction. The only reason we really pursue goals is to cause ourselves to expand and grow. Achieving goals by themselves will never make us happy in the long term; it’s who you become, as you overcome the obstacles necessary to achieve your goals, that can give you the deepest and most long-lasting sense of fulfillment.”
20. “It is not what we get. But who we become, what we contribute… that gives meaning to our lives.”
21. “Personal power is the ability to take action.”
22. “Put yourself in a state of mind where you say to yourself, “Here is an opportunity for you to celebrate like never before, my own power, and my own ability to get myself to do whatever is necessary.”
23. “There is no such thing as failure. There are only results.”
24. “If you want to be successful, find someone who has achieved the results you want and copy what they do and you’ll achieve the same results.”
25. “Success comes from taking the initiative and following up… persisting… eloquently expressing the depth of your love. What simple action could you take today to produce a new momentum toward success in your life?”
101 Best Anthony Robbins quotes on Life, Fears, Goals and Success
26. “You see, in life, lots of people know what to do, but few people actually do what they know. Knowing is not enough! You must take action.”
27. “Let fear be a counselor and not a jailer.”
28. “When you temporarily run aground, remember that there are no failures in life. There are only results. Consider the adage: Success is the result of good judgment, good judgment is the result of experience, and experience is often the result of bad judgment!”
29. “The only people without problems are those in cemeteries.”
30. “A real decision is measured by the fact that you’ve taken a new action. If there’s no action, you haven’t truly decided.”
31. “All personal breakthroughs being with a change in beliefs. So how do we change? The most effective way is to get your brain to associate massive pain to the old belief. You must feel deep in your gut that not only has this belief cost you pain in the past, but it’s costing you in the present and, ultimately, can only bring you pain in the future. Then you must associate tremendous pleasure to the idea of adopting a new, empowering belief.”
32. “Nothing has any power over me other than that which I give it through my conscious thoughts.”
33. “Everything happens for a reason and a purpose, and it serves you.”
34. Your life changes the moment you make a new, congruent, and committed decision.”
35. “There is always a way-if you’re committed.”
36. “The higher your energy level, the more efficient your body. The more efficient your body, the better you feel and the more you will use your talent to produce outstanding results.”
37. “I challenge you to make your life a masterpiece. I challenge you to join the ranks of those people, who live what they teach, who walk their talk.”
38. “There’s no abiding success without commitment.”
39. “People are not lazy. They simply have impotent goals; that is, goals that do not inspire them.”
40. Create a vision and never let the environment, other people’s beliefs, or the limits of what has been done in the past shape your decisions. Ignore conventional wisdom.”
101 Best Anthony Robbins quotes on Life, Fears, Goals and Success
41. “Success is doing what you want to do, when you want, where you want, with whom you want, as much as you want.”
42. “Most people have no idea of the giant capacity we can immediately command when we focus all of our resources on mastering a single area of our lives.”
43. “I also remember the moment my life changed, the moment I finally said, ”I’ve had it! I know I’m much more than I’m demonstrating mentally, emotionally, and physically in my life’.’ I made a decision in that moment which was to alter my life forever. I decided to change virtually every aspect of my life. I decided I would never again settle for less than I can be.”
44. “In essence, if we want to direct our lives, we must take control of our consistent actions. It’s not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently.”
45. “Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible.”
46. “When people are like each other they tend to like each other.”
47. “You always succeed in producing a result.”
48. “I discovered a long time ago that if I helped people get what they wanted, I would always get what I wanted and I would never have to worry.”
49. “The past doesn’t equal the future.”
50. “The meeting of preparation with opportunity generates the offspring we call luck.”
101 Best Tony Robbins quotes on Life, Fears, Goals and Success
51. Only those who have learned the power of sincere and selfless contribution experience life’s deepest joy: true fulfillment.”
52. “We will act consistently with our view of who we truly are, whether that view is accurate or not.”
53. “The quality of your life is the quality of your relationships.”
54. “My definition of success is to live your life in a way that causes you to feel a ton of pleasure and very little pain – and because of your lifestyle, have the people around you feel a lot more pleasure than they do pain.”
55. “It’s your unlimited power to care and to love that can make the biggest difference in the quality of your life.”
56. “You must know that in any moment a decision you make can change the course of your life forever: the very next person stand behind in line or sit next to on an airplane, the very next phone call you make or receive, the very next movie you see or book you read or page you turn could be the one single thing that causes the floodgates to open, and all of the things that you’ve been waiting for to fall into place.”
57. “What we can or cannot do, what we consider possible or impossible, is rarely a function of our true capability. It is more likely a function of our beliefs about who we are.”
58. “In life you need either inspiration or desperation.”
59. “Whatever happens, take responsibility.”
60. “All personal breakthroughs begin with a change in beliefs.”
61. “Take control of your consistent emotions and begin to consciously and deliberately reshape your daily experience of life.”
62. “The truth is that we can learn to condition our minds, bodies, and emotions to link pain or pleasure to whatever we choose. By changing what we link pain and pleasure to, we will instantly change our behaviors.”
63. “I’ve come to believe that all my past failure and frustrations were actually laying the foundation for the understandings that have created the new level of living I now enjoy.”
64. “If you are truly flexible and go until… there is really very little you can’t accomplish in your lifetime.”
65. “We are the only beings on the planet who lead such rich internal lives that it’s not the events that matter most to us, but rather, it’s how we interpret those events that will determine how we think about ourselves and how we will act in the future.”
66. “The most important thing you can do to achieve your goals is to make sure that as soon as you set them, you immediately begin to create momentum. The most important rules that I ever adopted to help me in achieving my goals were those I learned from a very successful man who taught me to first write down the goal, and then to never leave the site of setting a goal without first taking some form of positive action toward its attainment.”
67. “The way we communicate with others and with ourselves ultimately determines the quality of our lives.”
68. “Some of the biggest challenges in relationships come from the fact that most people enter a relationship in order to get something: they’re trying to find someone who’s going to make them feel good. In reality, the only way a relationship will last is if you see your relationship as a place that you go to give, and not a place that you go to take.”
69. “It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.”
70. “Things do not have meaning. We assign meaning to everything.”
71. “I’ve continued to recognize the power individuals have to change virtually anything and everything in their lives in an instant. I’ve learned that the resources we need to turn our dreams into reality are within us, merely waiting for the day when we decide to wake up and claim our birthright.”
72. “Many people make the mistake of thinking that all the challenges in their lives would dissipate if they just had enough money. Nothing could be further from the truth. Earning more money, in and of itself, rarely frees people. It’s equally ridiculous to tell yourself that greater financial freedom and mastery of your finances would not offer your greater opportunities to expand, share, and create value for yourself and others.”
73. “Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more.”
74. “When you are grateful fear disappears and abundance appears.”
75. “There is no greatness without a passion to be great, whether it’s the aspiration of an athlete or an artist, a scientist, a parent, or a businessperson.”
101 Best Anthony Robbins quotes on Life, Fears, Goals and Success
76. “Determination is the wake-up call to the human will.”
77. “If we don’t see a failure as a challenge to modify our approach, but rather as a problem with ourselves, as a personality defect, we will immediately feel overwhelmed.”
78. “Why do people persist in a dissatisfying relationship, unwilling either to work toward solutions or end it and move on? It’s because they know changing will lead to the unknown, and most people believe that the unknown will be much more painful than what they’re already experiencing.”
79. “You’re in the midst of a war: a battle between the limits of a crowd seeking the surrender of your dreams, and the power of your true vision to create and contribute. It is a fight between those who will tell you what you cannot do, and that part of you that knows / and has always known / that we are more than our environment; and that a dream, backed by an unrelenting will to attain it, is truly a reality with an imminent arrival.”
80. “Quality questions create a quality life. Successful people ask better questions, and as a result, they get better answers.”
81. “Once you have mastered time, you will understand how true it is that most people overestimate what they can accomplish in a year – and underestimate what they can achieve in a decade.”
82. “The quality of your life is dependent upon the quality of the life of your cells. If the bloodstream is filled with waste products, the resulting environment does not promote a strong, vibrant, healthy cell life-or biochemistry capable of creating a balanced emotional life for an individual.”
83. “Most people never feel secure because they are always worried that they will lose their job, lose the money they already have, lose their spouse, lose their health, and so on. The only true security in life comes from knowing that every single day you are improving yourself in some way, that you are increasing the caliber of who you are and that you are valuable to your company, your friends, and your family.”
84. “Questions provide the key to unlocking our unlimited potential.”
85. “Beliefs have the power to create and the power to destroy. Human beings have the awesome ability to take any experience of their lives and create a meaning that dis-empowers them or one that can literally save their lives.”
86. “Surmounting difficulty is the crucible that forms character.”
87. “Commit to CANI! – Constant And Never-ending Improvement.”
88. “Using the power of decision gives you the capacity to get past any excuse to change any and every part of your life in an instant.”
89. “Remember, a real decision is measured by the fact that you’ve taken new action. If there’s no action, you haven’t truly decided.”
90. “The only thing that’s keeping you from getting what you want is the story you keep telling yourself.”
91. “Where focus goes, energy flows.”

Here Are Just A Few Of Our Prosperity Team Benefits that help people stick with us!
There is only one way under high heaven to get anybody to do anything. Did you ever stop to think of that? Yes, just one way. And that is by making the other person want to do it. Remember, there is no other way. Of course, you can make someone want to give you his watch by sticking a revolver in his ribs. YOU can make your employees give you cooperation – until your back is turned – by threatening to fire them. You can make a child do what you want it to do by a whip or a threat. But these crude methods have sharply undesirable repercussions.The only way I can get you to do anything is by giving you what you want.
How Good Are You Dealing With People ?
Sigmund Freud said that everything you and I do springs from two motives: the sex urge and the desire to be great.
John Dewey, one of America‘s most profound philosophers, phrased it a bit differently. Dr. Dewey said that the deepest urge in human nature is “the desire to be important.” Remember that phrase: “the desire to be important.” It is significant. What do you want? Not many things, but the few that you do wish for, you crave with an insistence that will not be denied.
Some of the things most people want include:
1. Health and the preservation of life.
2. Food.
3. Sleep.
4. Money and the things money will buy.
5. Life in the hereafter.
6. Sexual gratification.
7. The well-being of our children.
8. A feeling of importance.
DEALING WITH PEOPLE IS PARAMOUNT
Almost all these wants are usually gratified-all except one. But there is one longing – almost as deep, almost as imperious, as the desire for food or sleep – which is seldom gratified. It is what Freud calls “the desire to be great.” It is what Dewey calls the “desire to be important.” Anthony Robbins calls it “significance”
Lincoln once began a letter saying: “Everybody likes a compliment.”
William James said: “The deepest principle in human nature is the craving to be appreciated.” He didn’t speak, mind you, of the “wish” or the “desire” or the “longing” to be appreciated. He said the “craving” to be appreciated. Here is a gnawing and unfaltering human hunger, and the rare individual who honestly satisfies this heart hunger will hold people in the palm of his or her hand and “even the undertaker will be sorry when he dies.”
The desire for a feeling of importance is one of the chief distinguishing differences between mankind and the animals. To illustrate: When I was a farm boy out in Missouri, my father bred fine Duroc-Jersey hogs and . pedigreed white – faced cattle. We used to exhibit our hogs and white-faced cattle at the country fairs and livestock shows throughout the Middle West. We won first prizes by the score. My father pinned his blue ribbons on a sheet of white muslin,and when friends or visitors came to the house, he would get out the long sheet of muslin. He would hold one end and I would hold the other while he exhibited the blue ribbons.The hogs didn’t care about the ribbons they had won. But Father did. These prizes gave him a feeling of importance.If our ancestors hadn’t had this flaming urge for a feeling of importance, civilization would have been impossible. Without it, we should have been just about like animals. It was this desire for a feeling of importance that led an uneducated, poverty-stricken grocery clerk to study some law books he found in the bottom of a barrel of household plunder that he had bought for fifty cents. You have probably heard of this grocery clerk. His name was Abraham Lincoln.

Once upon a time there was a group of evil conspirators that hid behind the veil of helping people.
They didn’t see people, but dollar signs bobbing up and down from the necks of human bodies like a fresh popped jack in the box.
Then, somebody asked the question:
What if I could build a company where I could give 100% of the revenue back into commissions for the reps. What if a “noob” could make guru money without being a guru. What if I treated my leaders how I always wanted to be treated.
What if we could Empower the people.
This is the story of the “Davids”
David Wood asked the questions. David Sharpe teamed up with him and together they found the answers. The idea for the Empower Network was conceived, and over the last year over 80,000 customers helped to bring it to life.That is inspiration enough for some people.
Then there was another David.
The David in the video that you just watched.
The unlikely hero that lived most of his life deaf, and just had his first $1,000 day marketing on the internet.If that is not inspiration, you are numb as a statue!
“I go you go.”
“He goes you go.”
“If he can, you can.”
You will make a decision to join when you believe that you can do it.
Do you believe that you can do it?
INSPIRATION FLOWS LIKE MOLTEN LAVA
We believe in you.
We believe you are a lot greater than you think you are.
These short films are going to be coming out several times a week. They are being filmed at the Empower Network live events.
If you want to have the chance to be in videos like this, you’ll need to take action and be at the next event. As of right now, that event is Chicago, you may see this when the next event will be somewhere else.
To get in the event, you at least need to own the $25/month viral blogging system, and make the decision to become an active affiliate.
The story of the Davids’ is your story after you choose to make it so. This is more than a business, it is more than “THE Business,” this is a movement.
What I love and respect about David is that there are No Excuses…” – Justin Verrengia
INSPIRATION IS CONTAGEOUS
It costs less than a good pizza to get the blogging product($25 scrawny little dollars) and get started…
…And it is WAAAAYY less than a solid night of drinking to get the blogging product AND decide to become an affiliate($19.95/month to be an active affiliate).
That is less that $45 to start a business where you can earn 100% commissions. That is less than $45 to be a part of a movement that is changing the world.
I bet I’m not the only one reading this that has woken up on their friends couch on a weekend after time traveling through half the previous evening to find my wallet missing a lot more than that. It’s time to join the movement.
Your journey begins with the click of a button.
P.S. These inspiring videos are going to be a part of a “Daily Show” that is going to be released several times per week. Text ‘Bad Ass’ to 72727 Now, so you can get daily updates.
You must own the blogging system to be on our text alert system, so take care of that now, and then get ready to be inspired daily as you come back and watch these videos every day, and read every word in the corresponding blog posts as we release them.
Those of you that are affiliates and customers of the Empower Network, be sure to leave your comments, and let us know what your biggest day of Empower commissions has been so far, even if you have just earned your first $25 with us.
Feel free to tell us what your background is too, so everyone can see that people from all walks of life are earning money.
WARNING: Wussbag comments & link spammers will probably be made fun of… a lot.
Disclaimer: no income is guaranteed, period. Just because deaf people, blind people, teenagers, homeless people, ex-drug attics, crippled people, bald people, and every other conceivable type of person you can think of is making money with the Empower Network, that does not mean that you will make $1000 in a day like David in the video did.
Every legitimate business requires that you put in an element of work to make money. Unless perhaps you have a magical money printing laser pony. If you know where to find one, I would like one too, so please let me know.

Of course this advice goes against the grain taught by most online gurus, upline sponsors, coaches and even many financial planners but hang with me here for a few minutes and I’m confident you’ll walk away with a better appreciation about why creating multiple steams of income is not only in your best interest, but how it will greatly increase your odds of having success as well.
Pick One Business Model and Focus
Wouldn’t you be better advised to pick one primary business model and focus 100% of your time and efforts towards building out that one business to give you the best chance of success?
Yes and No.
Let’s say you decide to join a well-known network marketing business in the health and wellness arena.

So you get in and get busy.
You set up a nice blog and a great looking Facebook Fan page and start driving traffic to your new online business by placing a few “business opportunity seeker” ads.
The ads work and, sure enough, you start getting a few leads.
But, let’s say you get 100 leads and NO ONE joins your team or buys any of your products…
How much money have you made?
And since you are ONLY promoting this one business opportunity and you are ONLY promoting products within that one niche – what are the chances any of those 100 people will come back some time in the future and actually make a purchase?
Creating Multiple Streams of Income
Same scenario…
Only this time let’s ALSO sign up to sell a few “affiliate marketing” programs that are not network marketing related and let’s ALSO sign up to offer tools, training and other “how to build your business” resources as well.
Because not every business opportunity seeker will be interested in joining a network marketing program… and not every person will be interested in buying your health and wellness products. But if you are attracting the right people and driving the right traffic to your site – MANY of these people will buy something if you present them with the right offer.
So the ONLY DIFFERENCE is you would add these additional OFFERS to your email follow up series to promote these additional products and services you now offer.
Now let’s crunch the numbers.
Again you get 100 leads who ALL SAY NO to joining your MLM deal but after a week or so of follow up emails about that one program – now they all get an offer to learn how to make money on Facebook. It’s only a $29 book, but it pays a good $15 commission and, sure enough… two people buy it and one of these guys also joins the monthly coaching program that pays out another $20 per month.
Next week you send out another email that promises to show them how to generate leads to promote their current business. And, sure enough, two more people join that program! You are now enjoying the wonderful benefits of creating multiple steams of income !
Multiple Streams Of Income Increase Your Odds of Success
When you learn how to create multiple streams of income you are putting the odds of success in your favor.
In fact, let me share my personal story and maybe this concept of “income diversification” will make more sense.
Back in 2004, I decided to start a business teaching computer stores how to get customers away from Dell and Gateway and the other big boys.
We sold a SYSTEM for $129.00 If they purchased the system we were golden. If they said NO to the offer we walked away empty handed.
So we added a monthly newsletter teaching how to please their customers and increase parts sales without spending $$$ on inventory or a warehouse to keep it. Selling parts and computers all over the world but it was not necessary to keep inventory in stock. They loved it! Now we had two things to offer. Then we added web site hosting and custom web site design and SEO and marketing advice.
The result? We increased our business almost overnight! Because while not every computer dealer or parts broker bought our SYSTEM… some purchased our monthly newsletter and a few more paid for hosting and a few more paid us to build them a custom web site. And, even better, once someone actually did business with us, they often went ahead and bought everything we had to offer. We earned their trust first and then we earned their business.
Multiple streams of income! And the ONLY DIFFERENCE was we added a newsletter to help increase their business at no cost to the stores! Something we were doing anyway, so we showed others how to do it. Similar to what we do on The Prosperity Team and Empower Network & the EZ Money Method.
WE TEACH OTHER THE KEYS TO OUR SUCCESS.
Multiple Streams of Internet Income
Now, worse case scenario – if one or two of those income streams goes down – it would be a bummer but it would not be catastrophic.
The key is to focus on your PRIMARY BUSINESS and leverage the marketing process to create multiple streams of income from a variety of sources by increasing your “product inventory”.
In our case, we FOCUS on building out our primary business, selling computers and parts & repairs but added an opportunity to teach others HOW we do it too. Which is now paying us over and above what the store was doing as the amount of people getting into the computer business skyrocketed. So we had to add another income stream. My wife being an artist, we decided to sell her art work on the internet. Then we added her teaching others to do what she does, like I added teaching others to do what I do.
We started selling other peoples products to add another stream of income.
THEN CAME BLOGGING FOR DOLLARS AS ANOTHER INCOME STREAM
But not everyone will be interested in building a profitable blogging business so we promote a variety of different money making programs on the BACKEND via our email auto-responder.
Most of these products come from Clickbank and we pull in an ADDITIONAL few hundred per week from that source.
We also feature tools, training and software from a variety of other free to join affiliate programs and pull in multiple streams of income from them as well.
So just think of all the money we would be leaving on the table if we JUST promoted one product, service or business opportunity.
MULTIPLE INCOME STREAMS = MULTIPLE PAYDAYS
Especially when you consider the fact that the ONLY DIFFERENCE is you are increasing your product inventory. Your marketing model pretty much stays the same.
Numbers Game
In fact, I would venture to say it is far EASIER to attract the people who would be most likely to buy your PRIMARY product, service or business opportunity by leading with a variety of tips, tricks, tools, products, services and other opportunities in addition to your primary. It allows you to cast a wider net. After all internet marketing is purely a numbers game when it comes right down to it. Not everybody watching the Super Bowl likes Doritos or Budweiser but it didn’t stop them from paying exorbitant amounts of money on their commercials. Some Super Bowls were so lopsided that the commercials were more enjoyable than the game.
