Be Do Have a Formula For Success

To be meaningful, any change in life or in business has to be dramatic. Minor change is easy to accomplish but results in only minor differences. To increase the sales in your business by say 150% in three months will take massive changes in both your thinking and the way you do things.

In order to HAVE anything in life we all recognize that we have to DO something to achieve it. If you want wealth you must invest. If you want love you must first give it. If you want respect you must earn it. No matter what you want, you need to DO in order to HAVE.

But DOing is not the only thing you need to change in order to HAVE. You must BEcome the person who would have the things or persona that you desire. You must develop the identity, beliefs and values that the person who has those things has. We’ve all heard of the Lotto winner who, within three years, lost the several million he won. He didn’t become the “millionaire”.

Let’s talk a bit about BEcoming. Everyone has an identity that they developed, usually at a very young age. That identity has values and beliefs that can limit you. Perhaps you believe that customers are always looking for a discount. You will attract that sort of customer to your business because of your belief. Maybe you believe that business owners are greedy. What do you suppose you will be when you own your own business?

In order to HAVE something like a million dollars, you have to develop the beliefs and values of a millionaire, and believe me they have an identity that needs to be copied. In fact it is said that you will earn + or – 10% of the earnings of the three people you associate with the most. Why? Because you develop the values and beliefs of these people.

Business is no different.

In order to HAVE amazing customers, and amazing businesses need amazing customers, you must develop your business into one that will attract amazing customers. What is an amazing customer? It is specific to your business. Only you can define for yourself the characteristics of your amazing customer. Perhaps it includes a customer who always pays cash. Maybe one who sends you lots of referrals. You must identify who your amazing customers are and what these customers want. You must know how these customers shop. You must BE the place where these customers want to shop.

And the same is true of an amazing business. It is one where your amazing customers shop. It consistently delivers more than your customer expects. The amazing business attracts these amazing customers.

Once you are the business, then you must DO the things that make these customers know what the perfect business will do for them. Imagine, if you will, an owner of a Jaguar leaving his automobile at the local garage that looks as though it has never seen anything better than a ’64 VW Microbus. Not likely. If you want the customer to come you must BE the business to which he will come.

If you are the person or business that attracts the people in your ideal target market then they will come. Just remember you must Be as well as Do in order to Have

Re: Success - I study success intently, and would like to share: Here's two excellent and nearly identical success-formulas from a couple of the world's masters. FIRST FORMULA: 1. Passionate Desire 2. Clear, Definite Purpose 3. Committed Decision 4. Take Action In Faith (Bonus Secret Sauce: 5. Repeat Consistently) I made a video about this, but am not allowed to link it yet. Google "Ryze Success Steps" for it. Oh, and this is Napoleon Hill's (Master Of Success Laws)'s Formula. SECOND FORMULA: 1. Passionate Desire 2. Understand It Is Already Done (Faith) 3. Relax & Allow It To Unfold (Go about your life calmly) This one is courtesy of Abraham-Hicks (inspiration for the movie The Secret). Hope that helps!

Sport: Formula 1 - Hi There, This year a new name arrived on the Formula One scene: Lewis Hamilton. He has had unparalelled success right in the first season of his racing career. There is just one race left and he stands to become World Champion. It is amazing. I used to watch the races in the past, now I tend to see the results and a little of the race. I think his driving colleague never anticipated for him to stand so often on the winners stage. Certainly his potential has been totally unlocked. Any comment about him from different angles. Kindest Regards Beat Mueller "Unlock People's Potentials!"
Racing car drivers - [quote:39rinmcm]This year a new name arrived on the Formula One scene: Lewis Hamilton. He has had unparalelled success right in the first season of his racing career. [/quote:39rinmcm] Car racing is not an activity I've ever gotten into... although rally car racing or "point to point" sounds kind of fun - I've never seen the point in driving around a circle 500 times... But, I'm always interested in people who do things well...especially when they're just starting out in their chosen profession. I'll check him out!
Re: looking for experienced affiliate feedback - Affiliates will send you traffic and maybe pre-sell your product. Your job is to ensure the traffic they send converts well, so should have well optimized sales pages, with minimal traffic leaks, and be continually testing. You should also provide tools and ideas for affiliates to promote you. I am an affiliate (I promote other people's products) and drive a lot of sales for my partners. I expect good tracking tools/reporting from the affiliate (affiliate systems like clickbank are fine), I expect a decent commission, good communication from the affiliate program, and landing pages that convert. The trick if you run your own affiliate program is to reach out to successful affiliate marketers who have a large audience that they can push products too. Just signing up with clickbank or similar won't really help you. You need to go out and advertiser your affiliate program, and approach potential partners and sell it to them. Bear in mind successful affiliates get pitched to EVERY DAY so you will need to stand out. The course, Product Launch Formula will be really helpful for you.
