If you’re a member of our community, we’d bet $100 in Vegas that you said “yes” to that question…

And if we won the bet, then we recommend you block out 9pm EST (6pm PST) Tuesday, January 5 for a free, LIVE *webinar* that top online marketer Yanik Silver is hosting called: “Secrets of Maverick Entrepreneurs“.

If you haven’t heard of Yanik (but we’re sure you probably have), he’s what you might call a trailblazer in the internet marketing industry… a renegade businessman, or a maverick entrepreneur.

And as you know, we like teachers who march to the beat of their own drums.

He’s extremely well-respected in his field, and someone that Heather has had the pleasure of interviewing.

In Tuesday’s webinar, he’ll be introducing everyone to his own personal network of insider connections…

These individuals are a small, distinct group of self-made millionaires who make up Maverick Business Adventures. Members of the group include people you’ve heard of, and those you probably haven’t: ‘celebrity’ internet pioneers and experts, INC 500 companies, multi-national manufacturers, heads of financial institutions, renowned experts, international real estate developers and restaurateurs.

And he’s got a handful of new Mavericks scheduled to come together Tuesday to share with you their thinking on the 3 ‘Maverick Success Pillars’:

* How to make more…
* How to have more fun…
* How to give more back…

Plus he’ll interview them about how they are adapting their businesses to maximize success in 2010 (make sure you’ve got your pen and paper ready for the gems they’ll share)!

And Yanik will also be telling you his own insights on how to increase your profits, your passion and purpose. The very same rules that have made him financially independent before the age of 31, starting with a silly idea get got at 3 o’clock in the morning (funny how some of the best a-ha moments come in the dead of the night!).

The best part is, you don’t pay a dime to get on there (except for any long-distance charges, if you don’t have an unlimited calling plan).

Once you register here, you’ll get sent the private login access and telephone pin number. Don’t worry whether you have a Mac or PC, or what connection speed… it’s all good, and everyone can connect.

Since there’s zero cost for this one-time-only event, and only 300 lines available, chances are it’s going to be completely booked… that’s what happened the last time Yanik hosted a content-packed free webinar like this.

But more importantly, the attendees absolutely loved all the great strategies and ideas revealed… and you will, too.  Don’t delay in grabbing your spot today.

Until we write again…

But it’s much more than that!

This report contains some things that would make the average college graduate’s jaw drop, and their head shake in disbelief.

See, there are some things that “they” don’t want you to know about… and often those are the things that, if you knew you didn’t know them, would be the things you’d choose to learn first!

(But how can you know, right?)

Well, in this case we’re just gonna tell you about it!

As promised,  here’s our 10-page report titled “Passive Income Adventures” (just right-click and save the PDF to your computer).

Speaking of things that will make people’s jaw drop and their head shake, Robert Scheinfeld — the author and speaker who used to talk about manifestation, but now has gone beyond that with his teachings of Phase 1 and Phase 2 in the Human Game — has just come out with a new book called Busting Loose From the Business Game.

Of course, as expected, what he’s written about is completely unexpected!

See, if you’re an entrepreneur or business person, or you’ve been working in any capacity, you’ve been playing what Robert calls “The Old Business Game”.

Just like a lot of “old ways” of doing things (like mentioned in the report above), that’s a losing way to play.

Robert’s new book is about finally winning, by playing “The New Business Game“.

> It’s rooted in metaphysics… likely on a different level than you’ve experienced before.

> It will shift your paradigm and your beliefs about what’s possible.

> It will help you out if you’re currently struggling.

> It will guide you do better if you’re currently doing okay.

> It will allow you have more fun if you’re currently doing well.

Basically, however you’re experiencing the Business Game now will become a much better journey after you read Robert’s book.

And if you buy the book this week only, you’ll get some extra tools from Robert that will support and guide you even more as you approach this New Business Game, and start playing to win.

Get your copy of Busting Loose From the Business Game, your “Busting Loose Fast Start Toolkit”, and more by reading Robert’s message here.

Or do you understand that when the student is ready, the teacher MUST appear – that you are, in fact, required in this lifetime to add value to others’ lives by passing on what you know and excel at?

Often what happens when people want to move beyond their current situation and start to do better is they go into learning mode – or at least consuming mode – EXCESSIVELY buying the latest book, CD, home-study package, and the newest online course in a frantic effort to find the secret to make it all work flawlessly.

And we’re not calling the kettle black – we admit that we’ve done this at times too.

But then we realize what we’re doing, shake ourselves out of it, and go back to the basics that we know. And, this basic business tenet, this foundation of growth, is what every LEGIT wealth mentor will admit if you ask them.

Click the “continue reading” link to find out what it is and HOW you can potentially prosper with us…

====== Continued =======

What is really required in these situations is going into teaching mode – NOT learning mode – to serve others, give value to the Universe, and reap the rewards that come from that simple formula.

Money cannot be made any other way. It’s a simple equation – a value-for-value exchange, every time, without exception.

You intellectually KNOW that “money” is a medium of exchange, nothing more and nothing less. There’s no magic way to acquire it without value (i.e., wealth can’t come, and never will come, BEFORE “value” – never has, never will).

You become wealthy (generate value) by starting with this question:

“What am I most talented at and passionate about? And, once I know this answer, how can I use this to solve a problem or give value to a group of people?”

Again, every one — yes, EVERY one — of the millionaires we’ve met and know have had to ask themselves this question and find an answer within.

Other than investing money to earn money, the most powerful and sustained way we know to BUILD (and enjoy pretty quickly) LEVERAGED-wealth is to teach what you know (your life skills, business knowledge, personal experiences, etc.) while guiding, mentoring, and coaching people. Everyone wants to know HOW to do “things”.  Whether it’s health / fitness, finances, business, personal growth, travel, hobbies or lifestyle, there’s ALWAYS an audience who NEEDS (and, yes, WANTS) what you know.

We’re looking for creative people who are tired of consuming, and ready to start giving, while understanding that the act of giving will result in resistance-free receiving (we don’t want people who just want to give without receiving, or people who just want to receive without giving – it just doesn’t work that way, and we can only work with people who understand that Universal give-and-take balance!)

See, we all have something to share. We all have talents and gifts that make us the best in the world at something.

If you’ve created a product, or started a product, or have a great idea for a product that will allow you to teach what you’re good at and help others live a Life Without Limits – then we may want to partner with you as a content producer.

It may be a book you’ve written, or a series of audios you’ve recorded, or even a documentary or movie – if it teaches people how to live a Life Without Limits, and capitalizes on what you know and do well, then you might be a fit for us.

We might need you to expand your product, create something else, or take a slightly different angle. But if you love to create – and not do all the other time-consuming stuff that goes along with getting your creation out to an audience ( like payment processing, fulfillment, affiliate tracking, etc.) – then we may be a perfect match.

Yes, we know there are internet marketing gurus who teach that you need to learn how to create your product, AND build a website, AND write sales copy, AND drive traffic to it, AND take payments, AND set up product launches, AND find affiliates to promote it, AND pay the affiliates, AND do customer service, AND… whew!

Yeah, we understand, the process of selling online can get daunting – especially when you’re attempting to do it by yourself.

We realize most writers, most teachers, and most creators just want to write, teach, and create.

Wouldn’t it be great if someone would do all that other stuff FOR you so you could focus on what you do best?

Well, we knew you would think so… so that’s the deal we have in mind.

This opportunity is only open to members of the Green Goose Profit Club, but if you do join – and if you have a great product, or a great idea for one – then we might just be sending you some big checks very soon!

Here’s The First Step:  Get on our GGPC Mailing List Here

Who Is This For? Only people who either have an existing online business – whether one sales page / product / service offering or multiple products and services – or are in the process of getting an online business up and running.  Some of you will just want to tap into the e-commerce training, marketing consultations, and resource guides to grow your OWN business. However, some of you, we realize (as stated above), may want to INTEGRATE under the LWL (Life Without Limits) brand umbrella so somebody else (us) can handle the backend of your business (i.e., processing, product fulfillment, affiliate management, etc).

When Can I Tell You About My Existing Idea / Product / Service? Once our club opens (soon, very soon), you’ll have the opportunity to tell us all about it inside the member’s area.

Does Any Product or Service Qualify? Well, in short, NO!  If you’ve been following us at all, for any length of time, you should already understand that we’re about substance AND uniqueness — whether in our view of how conversation and issues should be engaged in, or what products need to have BEFORE they hit the market.  We’re looking for meaning, congruency, and authentic intention from our content partners and, from a product / service standpoint, a value-proposition that goes way BEYOND  “me too” features. We’re looking for trailblazers, NOT Johnny/Susie-come-latelies pushing out surface level stuff just because they THINK there’s a market for it.

So if any of this resonates with you, we look forward to discussing it more with you soon via the GGPC member’s area.

Here’s the fourth and final guest article of our series from marketer, business teacher and copywriter Troy White… if you missed the previous parts, be sure to read Part 1 here, Part 2 here and Part 3 here.

You’ll also find commentary from us interspersed throughout.

Okay, Troy, we’re ready for those final 14 techniques on how to earn more money, build a sustainable business that will last, and manage our time better!

43 – Small incremental improvements leveraged by technology leads to incredible breakthroughs.

44 – Forget about inside the box or outside the box thinking.

Get rid of the box!

When you six-can the box — throw it in the dumpster for good — you instantly eliminate all the “shoulds” you’ve attached to your identity. How you should be (according to who?), how you should say things (according to what?), and how you should see life (according to what guru?).

With no box at all, it’s LESS about incrimination and overly-analytical self-concern (i.e., societal norms and time-worn “but we’ve always done it or thought that way” crap isn’t even in your awareness) and MORE  about exploration. Life becomes naturally unrestricted, unfiltered, and untamed. Who the hell needs an imaginary leash — like the adult elephant who doesn’t think he can break away from the tiny peg because he was conditioned that way as a baby — if you’re never gonna use it anyway?

45 – Find a script that works for selling your clients.

Then document the script. Improve it and test variations of it. Do this consistently every day. Remember that whoever has the best words in the best order — wins.

====== Continued =======

46 – Write down every objection you hear.

Put one objection at the top of the page then write down your responses to that objection.

47 – Bring up the objections before your clients do.

If you don’t they will be thinking it, so address it before you lose the deal.

48 – Always remember to find ways to up-sell, cross-sell and down-sell while you are making your offer.

Better yet, do it on auto-pilot through technology. We’ve seen some pretty snazzy online software and scripts in our time online yet, with web 2.0 technology, it’s so much easier to automate the selling of information and products (whether digital or physical) online. Our new club, The Green Goose Profit Club, will take you by the hand and show you the way.

49 – Create momentum in your business.

Find a new trial — implement it — test it — introduce it — implement it — test it — modify it — implement it — test it…

50 – Would you sell your product or service to your mother or father?

If you wouldn’t, then reconsider what you are offering.

Before you take the “Mom Test” though, it all has to start with YOU — as in, the basic question of: would I use this product, even if I couldn’t make money selling it?  If you don’t have  an emotional tie and unwavering dedication to the product that you are promoting,  then you will have a very hard time convincing others to buy it.  And, if it’s good enough for you, try Mom. But still, even it passed her test, it doesn’t mean your product, service, idea, or crusade it going to be desired or wanted by the masses. You may be playing in a small market — the market could be wealthy or it could be broke. Only proper market due-diligence will give you that answer.

51 – If you send out catalogs to your clients — do you send a sales letter with it?

If not, you are missing out on a 30 – 300% increase in sales.

52 – Barter knowledge-based products or services.

Knowledge is power and if you have specialized knowledge it is worth a significant amount to people.

53 – Build yourself multiple mastermind groups.

Form some inside your industry, some outside your industry, client mastermind groups etc. Make it worth their while to do.

54 – Continually test old techniques that used to work and have not been tested in a while.

55 – Do not interact with anyone unless you can make them better and improve their life.

Become obsessed with other people and how you can help them, learn from them and help them be better people.

Truly being CURIOUS and genuinely INTERESTED in others — evolving your study of human nature — starts by FIRST being inquisitively interested in yourself, but NOT in a bubble. Get it ?

It’s about interaction, NOT about isolation, while you’re exploring your inner-world.

Ignoring others, new information, criticism, recurring experiences, and relationship cues (the APPARENT “outside world”) while focusing on yourself is no more effective than ignoring yourself (“Martyr Mentality”) while attempting to SERVE others or be a catalyst for providing value to the world.

Want more info about this thought? Listen to Mentor #3 — The Charles Bronson of Holistic Health — inside our Renegade Growth Pak.

56 – Ask what you don’t want in life and in business.

Then decide what you do want.

>>> Most importantly — TAKE ACTION TODAY.

[ Editor's  Note ] — We hope you’ve enjoyed this recession-friendly series of creative and powerful tips to build your business without breaking the bank!

Living a Life Without Limits,

Catalysts For Change  ))

Some of it you may have heard us mention before, but we’re giving you more details today.

Other parts are entirely new…

And we hope you find it all compelling!

We’ll tell you about a few websites and resources you’ll want to check out, and let you know how you can get access to a slew of teachers who are masters at what they do, for less than $1 each!

(If you’ve ever wanted to travel to a live seminar but didn’t have the money, the time, or any way to get there, this is definitely for you!)

We reveal that at the end of this video:

Here’s the third in a series of four special guest articles from marketer, business teacher and copywriter Troy White… if you missed the previous parts, you can find Part 1 here and Part 2 here.

You’ll also find commentary from us interspersed throughout.

Alright, Troy, we’re ready… give us the next 14 tips on how to build a sustainable long-term business, earn more money, and make better use of our time!

29 – Ask yourself — “Is my business a refreshing alternative to all others?”

If it is not — make it so. You do not want to be mainstream — or you will be out of business.

That’s what we aim to do at LWL Worldwide.  We can’t think of anyone in the personal or business development field who approaches things like we do.

If you like what we do and want to keep up with what’s going on, get on our main newsletter list at LWLWorldwide.com.

30 – When you fall in love with your clients more than you love your business — you have it figured out.

31 – Are you living your life like your business preaches?

If not, start now. You will be out of business in no time if you don’t.

This is what we call “congruency” — whether someone walks their talk, or practices what they preach — and it’s what makes us decide to work with or not work with, promote or not promote, interview or not interview someone.

To be part of any of our upcoming interviews with congruent teachers, sign up for our notification list at LWLWebcast.com.

32 – One hour every week – work on your business as opposed to in your business.

Most people get so caught up in the day-to-day grind of making everything work properly, generating leads, closing sales, dealing with questions etc. The sad thing is that working in your business you forget about working on your business and where you want it to go. So once a week, every week — block off an hour and work on your strategy for the year and where you want to be a year from now.

====== Continued =======

33 – Anything you do and you’re not #1 or #2 in your business or industry — get rid of it.

Focus on the areas you do exceptionally well and forget about the rest.

Ross Goldberg regularly puts on Internet Marketing Masters Seminars that feature only the masters — considered the best at what they do — as teachers on each topic.

This time, Heather has been chosen to speak on interviewing, and will share the virtual stage with such top experts as Jeff Walker, Tellman Knudson, Willie Crawford, Stephanie Frank, Anik Singal, and more.

It costs less than $20 to attend, and you can do so from the comfort of your own home, which saves you time and money!

Book your ticket to the Internet Marketing Masters Seminar ’09 by clicking here.

34 – Ask yourself and your clients what else they are buying that is related to what you offer.

How can you add it to your product mix? How can you joint venture with people that offer it?

This is something we do when it makes sense, when we know you can benefit from it, when the product is excellent, and again, when the teacher or product owner is congruent.

One such offer that complements what we do without being the same ol’, same ol’, is Bob Doyle‘s Law of Attraction DVD which, bundled with a trial of his newsletter, costs only $17

(that’s $10 less than the DVD alone — a pretty sweet deal you can get here!)

35 – Call back all those that said no to your offer.

Offer them a special discount, incentive or offer — and tell them why you are doing this.

36 – Learn how to barter.

Look around at people you work with, want to work with or you are fascinated with their business or products. What types of products or services do they need to make their lives easier? Where can you find those products or services?

Can you find ways to trade products for products or services for services or variations of these? Apply this to people you want to work with — help them out and they will be forever grateful.

37 – Dare to do what no one else does.

38 – Follow your hunches and see where they take you.

39 – Make an outrageous claim or challenge.

Don’t worry about how you can meet the challenge — just get out there and do it. Your mind will find ways to meet the challenge when the time is right.

40 – Always remember that if you don’t do it — someone half as smart and half as nice will do it.

This is just one of several reasons we created GGPConline.com — there’s an obvious need for simplification, leverage, and automation (auto-pilot profits) when it comes to selling products and services online. The Green Goose Profit Club will help anyone who’s still scratching their head trying to make online e-commerce hassle-free and easy. Click here to learn more…

41 – Create an itch they have to scratch.

Make something known to them that they may have never thought of. Make it so important to them to find the answer or solve the problem.

42 – Always tell prospects right from the start what you are about to do and why.

43 – Small incremental improvements leveraged by technology leads to incredible breakthroughs.

[ Editor's  Note ] — We hope you’ve enjoyed the first half of this series of invaluable tools to build your business on a budget! Be sure to come back in a few days for the next 14 in the series.

Your Partners in the Quest For
Living a Life Without Limits,

Catalysts For Change  ))

Today we bring you the second in a series of four special guest articles from Troy White… if you missed Part 1, catch up here.

You’ll also find commentary from us interspersed throughout.

So, Troy… let’s have the next 14 lessons on how to invest time wisely, earn more money, and build a sustainable business that can last for decades!

15 – Think of your offering your prospects see.

What can you do to educate your prospects to the extreme that they know everything there is to know about what you do? If you are an expert (which you need to be) in your business – how can you show your clients how they too can be experts – before they purchase?

16 – What is your “magnificent obsession”?

You must have a passion so deep that everyone who you talk to understands what you stand for and what you want to accomplish. When you build your obsession and ingrain it into your soul – nobody will be able to derail you from obtaining your goal – no matter how negative they are.

As we told a subscriber yesterday, who instantly accused us of “neurosis and cynicism,” instead of  spending the time to understand our quest for having people engage in No-BS realism, when it comes to spiritual-growth and LOA marketing:

“Statues aren’t erected for people who play it safe, care what others think, nor people who who have such a thin-skin that when they come across material that “stings,” they run.

You can SEE what we write and talk about as “helpful” or “unhelpful” — you control the reaction either way. Because our research, writing, and investigative-journalist style of interviewing doesn’t pander or cater to a “group consensus,” we KNOW that, without question, every day we’re going to either unknowingly enlighten someone or offend someone. It’s part of the game for anybody who steps outside their own little world and starts to question how how things “should” be and expand their perceptions about what’s possible.“

As we write this, we often think of what Robert Ringer says: “To people with a herd mentality, acceptance is more important than money, dignity, or purpose. Which is unfortunate, because success and the desire for acceptance are mutually exclusive objectives...”

17 – A 30 second personal drill you must do.

Ask yourself… am I having fun? What could you do to enjoy your life more? How big or small of a company do you want to run (2 people or 200 to manage)? What would happen to your business if you decided to take a month off?

Once you have these answers you now understand areas you MUST start working on immediately.

====== Continued =======

18 – Your customers are marketing geniuses… they know exactly what they want and it is your job to find that out.

Find ways to phone, e-mail, fax or talk to them about their needs, wants, desires, passions, concerns etc. When you know what type of a company they want to deal with… you have your ticket to fortunes. People deal with you because they want you to change their life… do you deliver on their wants?

19 – Always follow your gut feelings, intuition and instincts – they will lead you in the right direction.

If you do not know how to tap into these resources or want to build on them to strengthen them – learn how. There are a multitude of resources out there that show you step by step how to build on them.

One of the best — and lowest-cost — resources on building your intuition that we can think of is the digital-and-physical package we recently created, the Intuition CD-MP3 set.

It features two powerful interviews with mentors that not only teach this stuff — and teach it well — but are very intuitive themselves, too.

This package is only available for a limited time, so be sure to check it out today!

20 – What would you do differently in your business if it was treated like a movie theater?

Admission is charged at the door and word travels quickly if it is a box office hit or a box office flop? How would your movie be received?

21 – Referrals can be one of the most important tools you can use to exponentially grow your business.

There are hundreds of ways to generate referrals. Do you use any of them now? How could you reward people to refer others to your business? If you have not done your job on making your clients happy – you cannot ask for a referral. Are you comfortable asking?

Some of the tools available to generate referrals; pay them per lead, ask your competition, bribe people in a fun way, ask your vendors, automate the referral process, donate to charity, be outrageous, put on an event, publicity, conference calls, family and friend programs and there are many many more. The key is to start writing down ideas on what works for you.

Then start doing it.

We do referral marketing in our business, and it’s one of our most effective ways to get new prospects and customers.

In fact, you can profit from this too!

The way we reward our customers for bringing us referrals is by giving them generous commissions.

So if our products have helped you, and you would like to let other people know about it and earn money for sharing your enthusiasm… just apply for our affiliate program at LWLMedia.com.

22 – Think about the lifetime value of your clients.

Maybe your front-end sale is $40 but how many times will they buy in a month, a year, a lifetime? Add the numbers up – what is one client worth to you in a lifetime? How much do you spend to obtain 1 new client? Do you see the difference here? Most people spend under $10 to obtain one new client and yet the lifetime value of that client is $1,000.

Do you see the problem? For every $10 you invest you receive $1,000. How many $10 bills will you now invest in client acquisition?

23 – Ask – “who else does business with my ideal client?”

Now go talk to those people – competitors or not. Explain your mission in life and the goal of your business. Find out how their business is doing and if they are looking for new ways to generate business. Start finding ways to deal with everyone that your clients buy from.

24 – What can you say to your clients or prospects to make them ask, “huh, what did you just say?”

Make your statements so outrageous that they ask you to prove it. And then prove it.

NOTE — there’s a reason we interview teachers who have obvious diametrically-opposed beliefs, teaching styles, and life philosophies.

Simply, to help you EXPAND yours. The only way that is going to happen is by sitting down and listening to somebody who makes you uncomfortable or who you’d naturally shy away from.

Yes, one week we’ll interview a teacher who has a book called: “People Are Idiots, And I Can Prove It” (Larry Winget) and the next we’ll interview a teacher who has a book called: “Your Heart’s Desires” (Sonia Choquette).

It this done for us to be intentionally outrageous? No! But only for you to grasp onto things, from THEM (not us), that you typically wouldn’t HEAR unless somebody, like us, cajoled you into doing it in the first place. We’re here to pass on their outrageousness, not ours.

Upcoming Webcast: “How To Think Big and Live a Soul-Driven Life.”

25 – If you are in a retail business – do not sell the products.

Sell the experience of your store.

This is the biggest reason retail business go out of businesses so quickly – they are there to discount products – and that is it.

26 – Set the buying criteria for your prospects.

Once they have seen your offering – they have to reevaluate how they decide who to buy from because you made them realize – you are the only one that provides an experience as high quality as you do.

27 – Plan your long-term strategies before you plan your tactics.

Strategy shows where you plan on going, who you want to be, and what types of clients you want as your friends. Tactics show how to get all of your strategy accomplished.

28 – Use risk reversal in your offer.

Make it so your clients come out so far ahead by dealing with you they would be stupid not to. Even if they decide that your product is not for them and they return it – they still come out of the deal with the refund and many bonuses that they never had before dealing with you.

* What’s more effective for small business marketing – the shotgun approach or rifle approach?

* And Much More!

Cool, sounds great! So let’s get started! Take it away, Troy…

I looove to learn! And I hope you do too. Creating success also means developing an insatiable appetite to learn about all kinds of varied subjects – marketing being the main one for small business owners.

You know what’s truly scary?

One number I saw recently said that the average US or Canadian citizen invests only $48 PER YEAR on books. Those same people probably spend much more than that on coffee in a month.

Is caffeine more important than training your brain for success?

That is a sad statement to where people place their priorities. They think nothing of dropping $2,000 on a big screen television… but ask them to invest that in a seminar or home study course and stand back for all the excuses.

Fortunately, I love to learn… and I invest in my education.

I can say from past years, my investments in books, home study materials, newsletters, audio programs and live seminars usually runs $15,000 – $30,000 per year.

Never before have we had access to so many experts and such powerful training materials as we do now… and those who are not investing in these tools are missing out on some incredible breakthroughs.

I am going to save you some time and money though.

I have summarized some of the main points that you should all immediately start applying to your life and your business. These are just a few of the tips I have learned from marketing masters like Clayton Makepeace, Ted Nicholas, Dan Kennedy, Jay Abraham and Bill Glazer.

These are tips I gladly paid big dollars to learn (and remind myself of)… and I want to pass them on to you.

From there – it is up to you.

Will you keep doing what you have always done?

Or will you make a change and profit beyond your wildest expectations?

It is entirely up to you. I want you to profit. But I will not hold your hand along the way though. If you take action on just a few of these, you will experience some powerful results… that I guarantee.

Let’s get on with it!

= = = = =

1 – Ask yourself this question – “Are Your Goals Worthy of You?”

Read it and ask it again. It is the opposite of what 95% of people ask – they switch the words and ask if they are worthy of their goals.

WRONG! You need to have confidence in your self and your vision in life. Are your goals big enough and grandiose enough? Make them so.

Dream big, really really big. And then ask again – is that goal worthy of you?

2 – Start working in time chunks.

Set aside 2-4 uninterrupted hours for you projects. Most people will start a project and deal with interruptions as they come through the door, or e-mail, or phone.

WRONG! You are now a time ‘chunker’ – and people around you need to understand this is the way you now work. Get used to this way of working and you will accomplish amazing things.

3 – Start seeking the valuable lesson in everything you do, hear, experience and pass by.

No matter if the project fails or succeeds – write down what you learned from it. Every person you meet and everything you do has a lesson you can learn. It is up to you to find out what that lesson is, though. And do it before you forget.

Write it down in your journal (if you do not have a journal – go get one).

4 – Read your lesson journal – which lesson can you apply today to your next project? Or your next problem? Then do it.

Find a way to apply and use that today – do it and record your results.

5 – No matter what your business is – get your journal out and write down this question at the top of the page – “How can I personally make my clients’ lives better?”

A simple question but very powerful.

Think about it – how many companies that you deal with offline or online – apply this model? Less than 10% I bet. Most of them are out to get the sale and then move on to the next “prospect.” If they actually considered how they could help your life be better – how effective could they be?

For example – there is a company that I personally dealt with offline that sells kids’ educational products.

I spent $2,000 on their products about a year-and-a-half ago. And never heard from them again. If they had thought about how they could help me and my kids have a better life they would quickly realize that they could offer me products to help us at least monthly. I would gladly spend $100/month on my kid’s future and success. And yet I have never heard from them again.

Do you know anyone like this?

How does it apply to your business?

6 – Always have your antennae up.

Look and listen for ideas, insights, and concepts that you have never thought of. Write them down. Talk to anybody and everybody you run into. Ask them what they do, how they do it, why they do it, what could make their jobs better, their offerings better, what are their dreams and
aspirations?

7 – Ask yourself – “what don’t I know that is absolutely critical to my success?”

Then decide where you can find that information quickly.

Start writing down ideas on how you can work with people that have that knowledge. If you do not have money to pay them for their expertise – how else can you work with them? Is there any way you can trade services for services or services for products or products for products?

For a low-cost product (you just pay shipping and handling) that gets you into the game of online marketing, and arms you with the right mindset to succeed, we recommend the Maverick Business Insider Intro Package.

It was created by young self-made millionaire and highly respected marketer Yanik Silver, based on a $15,000 closed-door session, and it includes a DVD, 2 CDs, book, wall poster, mind map, and more… be sure to grab it while you can here.

8 – Start writing a book.

On whatever you are good at, or whatever you want to be good at. Start researching the industry and successful businesses in that industry. A book is one of the most important tools to building your credibility and to build on publicity for your business. The book is not necessarily one you sell – it can be a bonus for prospects or clients to show them you know what you are talking about.

9 – Find or pick a charity that you deeply believe in.

How can you help them accomplish their goals? Possibly volunteer your services or donate products they can auction off to raise funds. Donate a percentage of all revenue you receive to the charity. Find multiple ways to help them and you will quickly find opportunities knocking on
your doorstep.

10 – Start building a dream team.

These people can be people in your life now (if they are motivated and positive people) or people you would love to work with. If you do not know them now – think of ways you can give back to their interests, passions or charitable causes they are interested in. Start interviewing these people and find out what makes them tick.

11 – Create your stadium pitch.

Get some paper out and think about your product or service. Imagine you have a stadium of 50,000 people at your beck and call. You get 30 – 60 seconds in front of the audience to convince them of you and your offering. What would you say?

How could you get your point across so convincingly that they would be stupid to say no? Now consider the fact that any one of them can walk out at any point in time and do not have to listen to your pitch. Would your pitch change? What can you say to make them stay? What can you say to make them buy?

12 – Consider that there are only 3 ways you can grow your business.

You can increase the number of clients, increase the average sale price, or increase the number of times they buy in a year. Most people (90%) focus in on increasing the number of clients – and it is the least effective and the least profitable. So what can you do to increase the other 2 methods?

13 – Use a shotgun approach to marketing your business.

Think of multiple ways to promote your offering – and have them all happen at once. Very similar strategies to war – air, land, water – each of which has multiple resources and firepower coming at the target (the customer) at once. How does this apply to your offering? What types
of firepower will you use?

14 – Test all of your crazy ideas.

No matter how crazy they sound – try it out. Find out which ones work. Then optimize how effective they are. Test all variations of that idea. Find out which variation works best.
