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!

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…

The Simplicity of Marketing

For some people, marketing seems like a really challenging thing to do. In fact, it’s really nothing more than common sense. Let me explain.

In all my years of marketing both online and offline, what I’ve always found interesting is how complex people tend to make their marketing efforts. They add layers and layers of complexity to something that should otherwise be a fairly simple process.

Here are the 3 core elements to a successful business.

1) Product: You need something to offer people, and it does not have to be a product that you’ve created. There is plenty of success to be had in marketing other people’s products.

2) Audience: You need to be able to reach the kind of people who can and who will buy your products. Again, this does not mean you have to start out with your own list, there are plenty of lists already out there that you can leverage in order to promote your products.

3) Offer: This is where the marketing is. You’ve simply got to make offers in everything you send out. The more offers you make, the more people will take you up on your offer and the more sales you’ll make.

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.

Friday is the Best Day for This Little Exercise

It’s Friday and for many folks that means it’s time for the weekend!

For me, Friday’s have been a day off for more than 5 years now. I work hard the rest of the week and take Friday’s off to take care of me, to play, to relax, and most importantly, to plan my next steps.

Running a full time business requires effort, often a lot of effort but the rewards make it all worthwhile.

If you’re not yet at the helm of a successful business, isn’t it time for you to find a way of getting there?

If you’re already at the helm of your own business and want to see it grow even more than it has in the past year, I may be able to assist you.

I’ve put people in business for more than a decade, and I’ve worked with established businesses helping them make more sales with less effort. 

I truly enjoy working with business owners of all types and I would love to work with you as well.

Here’s what I’d like you to do today. Make a short of list of just 3 things that you would like to have help with in your business.

It could be that you need to find a business to start, or that you need to build a mailing list, or maybe learn some more about marketing.

Just write down the 3 most important things you can think of that if you could accomplish them you know you’d be on the path to success.

When you have your list, send it to me at robert@ultimatewealth.com

Just put the words “My List” in the subject line and I’ll be sure to take a look. Read more…

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?

It was 1995 and I was struggling to get my business off the  ground. I was excited, spinning my wheels, yet getting nowhere  fast. Money was coming in, but more of it was going out than was  coming in.

Before very long, I found myself questioning whether or not to  close my business and give up on my lifelong dreams.

When you arrive at a point like this, there are two choices you  can make. First, you can choose to throw in the towel and walk  away. Many people take this route and in later years begin to  regret their  decision.

The other option is to keep going and find new ways to get  through the rough times. While you may wonder if there’s a third  choice of doing nothing, that’s really not making a choice at all  and it’s almost the same as giving up because if you do nothing,  you’ll soon have nothing.

So there really is only one choice and that’s to keep going.

Want a BIGGER Mailing List?

But you’re not sure where to start?

I had a call with a new coaching client the other day who wanted, more than anything, to build a list that he could use to market his products. He had the right idea, but his ideas on how to go about building that list sounded like they came from an old time movie!

In fact, he was so lost when it came to building a list that had he even tried what he had in mind, he would have lost his shirt! A lot has changed on the web in recent years, and building a list today is NOTHING like it was just 12 months ago.

In fact, today, it’s easier, faster, and cheaper than at anytime in history, yet few people have figured that out yet! Over the past year, I’ve been showing my clients where the tools are on the web, how to quickly build a list of people who WANT to hear from you, and I’ve been showing them what to say and how often to say it so that they make more sales.

I’ve been really amazed at their results. I’ve been watching them add new clients, and increase their sales and build larger and larger lists and it’s been a complete thrill for me.

I’ve been doing these same things too, and my business is also growing and I’m picking up new clients and adding new sales regularly. But is what I’m doing and showing my clients to do even legal? And if it is, why doesn’t it cost anything?

It’s a lot like when I first discovered the power of e-mail. At that time, NOBODY was using e-mail to sell anything. But I knew it was a great tool and I began building a list and mailing to my list each and every week. This was back in 1995.

Over time, word got out and soon enough everybody jumped on the e-mail bandwagon and soon e-mail just wasn’t as effective as it once was. What I’ve discovered is every similar. It’s not popular at the moment, but it will be in just a few years. But for the small group of us who know about it today, we’re making the most of it!

In the last 6 weeks, I’ve added close to 1,000 people to my mailing list. These people are HIGHLY targeted prospects for my business, and I can now contact them daily if I wanted to, and it cost me exactly nothing to do. The annual return on these new prospects is easily going to be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars for my company. My marketing costs are zero.

If you’d like to know more, I would invite you to request a complimentary one-on-one coaching session with me using the form you’ll find on this web site.

If you’re in the information marketing business, you’re a coach, a speaker, or a consultant, I want to talk to you about this because it will change everything about your business!

Please note that I can only work with 3 more people at this point, so if you like what you’re hearing, run, don’t walk, to grab you complimentary coaching session now!

Remember, those who succeed never wait, they take action, lots of action, and they do it now!

Will 2010 be THE Year for You?

Or will it be just another year of the same old, same old?

When December 31st rolls around each year, we tend to get real excited about what the next year will bring. By about this time each year, we’re pretty much back to doing the same
things we’ve always done and we’re back to getting the same old results too.

This is a great time to take a moment to think about making a few small changes that can lead you to having a fabulous year instead of getting more of the same.

This past weekend, I attended a seminar in Los Angeles hosted by Terri Levine. I came away with 238 notes in just a 2-day event.

My point here is that you’ve got to look for places, people, and things that inspire you. I get inspired being around people who want to get more out of life. So I do attend and host seminars. I get inspired by reading books, listening to audio programs, and by watching motivational video presentations.

Life has a way of taking the wind out of our sail. It has a way to bring us down and often times all it takes is a phone call.

If you let it, life will rob you of your motivation, your energy, and your passion. These are the ingredients of success and in my world, I do everything I can to hang onto these things. What about you?

Are you fighting to stay on top of it all? Do you feel knocked down and dragged out at the end of the day? Are you wondering if things will ever get better?

You’re not alone, but being part of the crowd is not the best place to be. A better choice would be to find ways that will lead you to places the crowds will never go. You want to feel things the crowd will never feel. And you want to do things the crowd would never dream of doing.

When you do, you’ll begin to experience real freedom.

But most people will argue that they simply can’t even begin to imagine this because, hey did you hear what they said on the news tonight?

If you wait for all things to be lined up before you decide to take a step forward, you will miss out on the best parts of life before you finally figure out that you can have it all, you can have now, and you’ve already got what it takes to make it happen.

Which way do you want to play it?

I’ve got some pet peeves about our line of business. Yup, I sure do and I think you’ll share some of my sentiments too once you hear what I’m about to share with you.

First, let me say that I totally believe that ANYBODY can create for themselves what they really set their sights on having. If it’s a successful web site, a fast car, a big house, the perfect
relationship, you name it, if you want it bad enough you can have  it.

Find out more about it all here:

So pet peeve number one for me is that so many in our business try to sell you on the idea that all you need is a new gizmo, a bigger web site, or a smarter marketing plan and you’ll get what you want. Really?

I was having a conversation this week with a client, whom I really love working with, about social media and an interesting point came up in our coaching session.

She mentioned that she had heard a lot about what to do on these social networking sites like Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter, and others, but not once was she taught what to say and how to say it to the people she was connecting with!

She had a point. And I’ve seen most people go about the connecting thing all wrong, and in fact, sometimes they mess it up so bad that I simply delete their requests!

First, you’ve got to understand that your connecting to another human being on the other side of all the technology. You’ve got to understand that these people have thoughts, feelings, and emotions just like you. Read more…
