Hi, Rich Schefren here and today I’m driving my wife’s car, but I still have a tip for you in my drive to the office. And it’s an important because it’s one of the distinguishing differences between those who succeed and those who fail. You see, entrepreneurs that succeed tend to be those that are most resourceful. Whenever they come up against a problem, a difficulty, a challenge, they look at the things that they’re already doing or the things that they already have and they’re figuring out a way to still achieve the outcome or objective that they desire whereas, those who fail tend to be much more in a constant search for resources. So instead of being resourceful, using what they already have, using what they already know, they’re in a search to learn more or to find that perfect thing that’s going to solve their problem. The problem with that is that you tend to constantly be on a search for more as opposed to really leveraging what you have. So today as you approach your day, think about how you can be more resourceful as you’re trying to grow your business, as you come up against a challenge or obstacle or difficulty and stop looking for so many resources. The answer is within you. So that’s the tip for today. I’ll see you on tomorrow’s drive to the office. To higher profits and beyond, Rich Schefren over and out.
Hi, Rich Schefren here with one of the most power productivity secrets an entrepreneur can ever know. But before I tell you that, let me ask you a question. Do you remember the very first time that you fell in love and what that felt like? Do you remember how much it pervaded your day-to-day thoughts and how you couldn’t do even for them? And that each and everything that you did for them just gave you more energy, more enthusiasm and more drive to do it more and more; to approach each day providing them with proof that you were thinking about them and that you loved them? Well if so, let me tell you about a quote that a very good friend of mine and partner, Jay Abraham, has often said. He said “that most entrepreneurs fall in love with the wrong thing. They fall in love with their products and their business when they should be falling in love with their clients and customers.” You see, when you fall in love with your clients and customers, you are constantly searching out for more ways to provide value; more ways to show them that you love them. And, that is part of the equation to being an incredibly productive entrepreneur because when you fall in love with your clients and customers you’re passionate about delivering that value. And when you’re passionate, you are productive because you’re happy.
You see, that’s one of the most powerful productivity secrets that there is; to be passionate about what you do because it makes you happy. And when you’re passionate and happy, you are truly productive. So how do you do that? Well the first thing to realize is that love is a verb. It’s not a happening. That means that you can fall in love with whoever you want, whenever you want and however you want. So think about what it was about your clients and customers that made you decide to dedicate your professional live to providing them with value? What is it about them that you could love if you’ve never really thought about that? What aspirations do they have? What are they trying to achieve that is admirable? And how can you really leverage that to feel the love for them? Because when you do that, it becomes a very easy job to then look at your to-do list, look at your task list and attach that to providing them value, because when you provide them value that’s really what your business is all about. So think about (1) what it is that you love most about your clients and customers and (2) look at your to-do list for today and think about how does that show your customers, how does that show your clients that you value them, that you love them, that you care about them. If you do that, I’m sure that you’ll see a very big difference in your productivity for the day. And I’ll see you tomorrow on tomorrow’s drive to the office. Until then, higher profits and beyond and I’ll see you tomorrow.
Hi, Rich Schefren here and today I want to talk to you about where two essential ingredients to being a successful entrepreneur meet. And that is focus and preparation. You see, in order to be focused you need to know what is the one most important task that you need to do today to move your business forward. What is the one thing that if done well will have the greatest impact on your business moving forward being further ahead today than it was yesterday. Now, once you know what that one thing is, once you know what that one essential task is that you must get done today, the very next question is how can you be better prepared to actually get it done? How can you be better prepared to execute it better so that it does get you the results that you want? You see, focus and preparation meet together for an entrepreneur where they will achieve that one simple thing that will actually move their business forward the most. Now I don’t know what that’s going to be for you today; that could be a meeting maybe that you have with your staff if you have a team or it might be a task that you yourself are going to do because your business is smaller. But either way, when focus meets with preparation, the results are often amazing. So give that some thought as you enter your day today. And as you enter your day, think about what’s that one most essential task and how can you better prepared to execute it amazingly well. Adios for now and I’ll speak to you tomorrow.
While selling subscriptions and building communities are relatively new concepts for the internet marketing world, the association industry has been doing these things well for more than 100 years.
Associations are groups of people with a similar interest. Think of the “Beef, It’s What’s For Dinner” ads you see on television. Those commercials are produced by the Cattlemen’s Beef Board, an association of cattle ranchers. There are more than a half-million associations, and they represent pool builders (American Pool and Spa Association), doctors (American Medical Association) and every industry you can think of. Associations provide education, newsletters, networking opportunities, members-only sites and in-person conventions. (Very similar to the types of products and services Internet marketers have started providing.)
