A large part of being an entrepreneur is thinking strategically for your business and yourself. To think strategically, you need clarity about what you want for yourself and your business. In this podcast, Rich Schefren will give you a short exercise that can help you find that clarity.
What if the one piece of information you needed to increase your profits was in the last place you’d think to look?
You won’t find it on any website or blog (yes, not even this one).
You won’t read about it in a course or report. You can’t even get this information from a guru like myself.
But chances are, it’s staring you right in the face.
In fact, it will take you less than 5 minutes to access this information. And it won’t cost you a penny to get it.
But once you have this information, you’ll be armed with the knowledge you need to double or triple the profits you’re making from your list right now.
Ignore this glaring opportunity… and your business will suffer.

Usually the last place marketers look…

I want to get straight to the point today…
In my last post, I walked you through the single biggest obstacle that the majority of entrepreneurs put between themselves and their success.
In a word it’s knowledge.
The commonplace wisdom (which has been marketed extensively by specialists over the years)… is you need to learn a hell of a lot before you can ever hope to make a dollar online.
That’s not actually the case.
Now does being smart help? Of course. Does out-thinking your competitors give you an edge? Absolutely.
But part of being smart and out-thinking your competition is focusing on the right knowledge that you need to know… instead of the extra knowledge that’s “great to know in case I ever need it.”
(I even have a phrase for this. I call it “Just in case” knowledge instead of the more strategic, “Just in time” knowledge.)
But of course that brings up a very important question…
How do you know exactly what you want, so you can do the few select things in your business that you really need?
That’s what I want to cover today…

In this episode Rich gives you a simple exercise you can do to regain the focus in your business.
Imagine for a moment that every promise for every product, program or service you have ever bought had already come true.
That you were, in fact, already reaping the rewards of all the time, energy and investment you’ve sacrificed.
What would your life be like right now?
How would your life be different?
Well, when I ask new clients these same questions, they tell me…
Yet, when I ask them what they’d need to achieve they give me one of a hundred different answers…
All of which are wrong.
In other words, all the things they think they need will never actually get them what they really want.
And that’s the purpose of this post…

Note from Rich: Jay was closer to Stephen than I was, so I think it’s fitting this tribute come from him…
Stephen R. Covey, author of “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People,” died unexpectedly on Monday. The world is saddened by his passing, but has been blessed these 79 years by his life.
He was a friend, but even more, he was a true benefactor to the betterment of our entire world. An obituary in USA Today started out by calling him “A force of human nature…”
They talked about how his “seven habits” have been woven into the emotional wellbeing of multimillions of people’s lives – in almost every walk of life – from self-help to the corporate boardrooms of big businesses.
