A few months ago, I was in Vegas visiting with Eli Goldratt, the creator of the Theory Of Constraints.
And while I was there, I did a little gaming. Not much, but I like to play a few hands of blackjack from time to time.
Of course, to me that’s not where the real fun is when you’re sitting in a Vegas casino.
Nope–the REAL fun is watching the people around you…
Because there’s always that guy who’s not playing for fun. He’s playing for PROFIT.
You can spot them a mile away. Stern, furrowed brow…sweat on the upper lip…smoking like a chimney…and cursing like a sailor when the dealer tosses him a bust card.
Never ceases to amaze me how many people use gaming as a source of income. I mean, c’mon–how many new millionaires do you ever see leaving the Vegas airport?
None. It’s always bleary eyed tourists, fishing in their pockets and purses for just one more dollar to put into the slot machine…
And why? Because they’re dreaming of the big score. The one that’s going to put the over the top for good. The one that never comes.
Same goes with the online business world…
Like I mentioned years ago in my Internet Business Manifesto, I am struck by how almost everybody is approaching their business or starting their business in a manner that seals its fate from the very start.
They’re doomed to fail before they ever get off the ground. And it’s not because of a lack of desire. Or lack of effort. Or even lack of funds for that matter.
No–the REAL reason why most businesses fail is because of lack of fundamental business building knowledge.
It’s true–the overwhelming majority of people new to the online business world will fail in achieving their dreams even if they buy lots of products, study them religiously and work extremely hard.
So how do you get past that? Well, it’s not an easy fix.
But first, you need to follow these 4 simple steps:
Establish your vision and create a strategy
to achieve that vision. By doing this you transform yourself from an opportunity seeker (bad) to an
entrepreneur (good).
Stop being so tactic-minded and start looking for products and services that will support your strategy in achieving your vision-instead of spending thousands of dollars on products that collect dust on your shelf.
Do everything in your power to manage your time better. Time is your most valuable asset, and implementing systems and processes that add more time to your day will only make your business grow that much faster.
Finally, always remember that, in order to build a successful business you need these critical things: scalability and leverage.If this all sounds familiar, it should,. It’s the basis of the boat-rocking Internet Business Manifesto I released years ago. And it still holds true today.
But we’re only really scratching the surface here. There’s so much more to tell you, and I don’t want to turn this into manifesto in itself.
So what I’m going to do is hold a very special free call on business building this Thursday, January 15th, at 12 noon eastern.
You can register for that here.
Register For The Special Free Call 
Thursday, January 15 at Noon ESTMy “secret” guest will be a renowned author and business coach who has transformed many businesses, big and small, into healthy profit centers.
We’ll be talking about the challenges entrepreneurs will be facing in 2009, and how to overcome these challenges by utilizing solid business principles.
Plus, my “secret” special guest will also be revealing a time-tested proven model that practically guarantees business success.
A handful of online marketers have been running this method through the paces over the past several months, and the results have been MIND-BOGGLING. And now, they’re almost ready to reveal it to the world.
And you’ll get the first peek inside…but only if you join us on the call.
Reserve Your Spot
Thursday, January 15 at Noon ESTI’ll see you there!
To Higher Profits,
Rich
P.S. Some of the numbers these test marketers have been doing are simply astounding…
In fact, this proven process of accelerating your business and reaping major profits is boasting a solid 93% success rate.
That’s right–93% of the entrepreneurs who put it into action have made money. And the best part is, it didn’t take a lot of time or investment to make it happen.
But I will warn you–there’s VERY limited space on the call..
And I can assure you that you do NOT want to miss out on what I and my “secret” guest will be revealing.
So Grab Your Slot Right Now
