Get a Head-Start on the Selling Season

 It’s no secret that right after Labor Day (September 6th) the biggest selling season of the year begins.

Fall has traditionally been the most exciting time of year for most business owners and although this year has been very sloe for many, things are already looking good for the upcoming selling season.

But you have to be ready for it. Ramping up your marketing, creating new products, and updating your web sites can’t wait another day.

I’ve been in full swing getting my web sites ready, talking to people about doing joint-ventures in the months ahead, and I’ve been planning out my marketing strategies to make the most of this exciting time of year.

If you find yourself in a place of feeling discouraged, fearful, or even doubting that things can get better in the months ahead, you might need a little dose of enthusiasm!

You can START tomorrow afternoon with a powerful, kick-butt, Free live video broadcast with Terri Levine! Read more…

Here’s Something You Can Do to Make it Better for Yourself

I won’t try to paint a rosy picture and tell you that everything is going just great. You know better. If you’ve been looking at the news, you already know things are getting rough for everybody and the future looks grim.

I’ve been hearing it from my clients.

I’ve been seeing it with businesses that I buy from, and I’ve been looking long and hard for the silver lining that I know is out there.

As I see it, you and I have two main choices in how we can deal with what’s going on.

Option 1) We can bury our heads in the sand and wait for things to get better. Many people will choose this option as they see it Read more…

How to Become a Highly Successful Marketer

I was just 22 years old when I first started to see results from my marketing efforts. But I learned marketing the hard way, and I would NOT recommend that you follow in my footsteps in your quest to become a better marketer because there are much easier ways to get trained.

Instead of watching what other people do and then trying to figure out how they are marketing, I would recommend that you instead become a student of marketing and learn from those people who have been there, who have done it, and who are now willing to teach you how you can become a better marketer too.

This past Friday, I was at my favorite place, the book store. I got a nice tall bottle of Fiji water, stuck a straw in it, and began reading an incredible book on marketing.

This is how I stay on top of my craft today. I read what other people write, I take what I think is the best of their ideas, and then I put those into play in not just my own business, but those of all my clients as well.

Long ago, I figured out that learning through trial and error was a long, often painful process that only occasionally resulted in producing valuable results. Now I get a piece here, another there, and I create marketing strategies that darn near always produce great results.

You should be looking, reading, and learning from people like me, who are in the trenches and who are willing to share the best of what we’ve learned with you so that you can get the results you want and need without having to go through the difficult process of learning the hard way.

Read my book on marketing, Motivational Marketing. Read reports, e-books, articles, anything you can get your hands on. This is the way great marketing minds are developed.

What You’re Seeking is Out There… and Terri Levine’s Last Ever Business Seminar?

Money. It’s the topic on almost everybody’s mind, and more often today than at any other time in recent memory. But is it really harder to make it today than it was just a few years ago?

The answer depends upon your mind set.

If you are the type that buys into what you hear on the news, chances are you may be feeling the pinch and seeing signs everywhere you look that there is less money to be found out there.

If on the other hand, you are the type that sees how much money is flowing on a daily basis all around you, you may have a different opinion.

Honestly, I’ve played this mind game both ways. I’ve been there before in the late 1980′s when I was booted to the curb from a nice cushy job because of “budget cuts.” I got depressed and saw  no way out of my situation.

That lasted about 5 months and 4 weeks, literally until the very last unemployment check was to arrive. That week changed many things for me, and I found, not just one, but four jobs in just 24 hours!

So after nearly 6 months of not even a nibble, sending out hundreds of resumes, a simple shift in mind set produced four job offers in just 24 hours.

What Would You Do?

It’s 2am.

The phone rings.

At first you ignore it and hope it stops. It rings again, and again, and again. Finally, you stumble out of bed and search for the handset.

On the phone is somebody you care a lot about. A parent, sibling, your significant other. Something horrible has just happened to them.

What do you say to them?

What should you never say?

Do you even know what you would say in such a crisis situation?

Why not YOU?

You want to get the New Year off on the right foot. You want this year to look nothing at all like years past, and you want, more than anything a healthier bank balance.

It’s what most people want every New Year, but do you have a plan? Do you have an idea of how to get these things?

If you’re operating this coming year doing the exact same thing you did last year and the year before that, I promise you, not much is going to change.

In fact, you’ll likely do WORSE this year than in any year in the past if you don’t do something right now to change your approach!

Celebrate the New Year in Style!

Welcome to 2010, the start of a fresh new year, and a new decade!

Every year at this time, I get tons of e-mail messages from people who are eager to tell me about their resolutions for the next year. While I am indeed impressed at what people plan on doing, what really does it for me is to see the RESULTS of what had been planned.

So as you look back over the past year, what did you accomplish? What goal did you set for yourself that you hit, and even exceeded? Or do you even remember the goals you set for yourself?

Like so many people out there, I too set goals for myself at this time of year. But I do it with a twist. Let me share with you what I mean.

Success Begins in the Shower!
