Systems for Extraordinary Success
A while back I read about a guy named Vic Johnson who creates CD’s about how to search and select products on the internet. The article was about how successful Vic has been. In four short years, he went from financially struggling to earning over $600,000 in sales! He's a remarkable "over night success."
He must have been incredibly "lucky"-right? Wrong. He was incredibly systematic.
On the CD's he tells of his long search for products, and his careful study of what works in online marketing. He tells of his systematic testing, learning, and adjusting until he found the right system for major success. Now, when he launches a product or website, he can (for all practical purposes) guarantee that it will work and can predict within a few percentage points exactly what kind of results to expect.
That, my friends, is what long-term business success is all about.
McDonald's restaurants have a system for success. Bob Hope, Johnny Carson, Jay Leno and David Letterman pretty much figured out the "system" for success in comedy. I expect Donald Trump has a system for success in real estate. Oprah Winfrey knows something about the "system" for success on television.
What is your system or recipe for success in your business? Is it written down? Do you follow it, over and over, to get the results you desire?
Highly successful people do not achieve repeated success by coincidence! They develop systems and they use them day after day to get the results they want.
If you are not getting the results you desire, take a close look at your systems. If you need help, consider hiring a coach. Success is no accident! It is the logical, predictable result of doing certain things in a certain way, over and over again.

CMS
- Speaking of Content Management Systems, which one are you going with?
I've stubbornly held off going to a CMS, but each time I change something on my pages, such as the Navbar, I have to go back through everyone and cut and paste and it does get time consuming.
BUt I like the freedom to alter a single pages layout if I need to to accomodate a certain type of article...
