The Powerful Minute - Take Action
We've all probably had the experience of putting something off. The more we put it off, the more we dreaded it, the bigger it got. Sometimes it's fear. Sometimes it's just plain old procrastination. Let me know if you see any of yourself in this edition of "The Powerful Minute."
Powerful Minute - Take Action
How many times have you been fearful of doing something only to have it turn into excitement once you've done it? I've had it happen countless times. You can go back to childhood, whether it was riding a bicycle or skating or riding a horse - once you did it, it was exhilirating!
What if every time we dreaded something or had fear about doing something - that energized us to go after it with more intensity? Is that possible? I don't know if it's possible every time - but I do know it is possible at least some of the time.
So this week - take a look at what you have on your plate. Find something that you dread or have hesitation about doing and start imagining that you've alreadly done it. That you were successful at it or finally got a dreaded task off of your list - how does that feel?
Really - how does it feel to have accomplished it? Once you soak that in - go for it - either do it or get it scheduled to do and use this sense of excitement to attack it head on.
The end result - a better one than if you put it off, a better one than if you did it with fear and dread in you - it's there for taking. So this week - take it and let me know how it went. I bet it will feel even better than you thought once you've done it!
Have a great week!

Success Strategies
- How to get the results you want now?
Success Strategies and Action Steps I have used are:
The Power of Choice
Where you are at this present moment, is exactly perfect from the choices you have made. If you want to be somewhere else, you have to decide clearly what that is (your goal/outcome) and create action steps to achieve this.
The Power of Focus
The book "The Power of Focus" by Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen and Les Hewitt, is one of my treasures in my Entrepreneur Library. If you focus on what you want versus what you do not want, your conscious and sub-conscious mind will direct attention to this. The movie, What the Bleep, Down the Rabbit Hole, explains this in detail about quantum physics and what we create in our lives.
The Power of Commitment
This is not about commitment to others. The first step is the commitment, your word, you make to yourself. Accountability and responsibility are additional success strategies and ingredients to creating the success, defined by you, that you want. The commitment to others reflects your integrity, your word and the team you work with. Co-workers, clients, yoru family, friends and community.

Advertisement that sales
- Plan your marketing programme. It should include commitment to capital resources.
If you run a small business, you aren't likely to have a generous enough advertising budget that will allow you to run costly branding or campaign ads.
Every advertisement you run must convey to your prospect a solid offer and attractive reasons to act quickly, and result in increased sales and an enhanced image of your company.
Good advertising always pays its own way through increased sales and profits, improved cost-effectiveness, reduced selling costs and shortened selling cycles.
A useful formula that will help you increase the effectiveness of your advertising efforts is A-I-D-A, which stands for Attention, Interest, Desire and Action.
When creating an advertisement, always remind yourself that it should: (1) capture your prospects' Attention, (2) arouse their Interest in your offer, (3) create their Desire for your product or service, and (4) provide a powerful spur to Action, that is, turn your prospect into buyers.
Remember, bad advertising is an unproductive expense, and good advertising is an investment in future profits!
Re: Do Articles For Businesswomen need to be written differently
- One of the best books ever written to illustrate this point beautifully, half the book is written in a story style and then the same thing is written again in more of a text book style.
The book is The One Minute Millionaire by Mark Victor Hansen and Robert G. Allen.
Quite different and I am sure that each half appeals to different people in different ways.

Re: Watch What you Read
- I agree. i believe more video's should be like Jeffery Gitomers video's under his Sales rant. They are typically not more than 3 minutes. His model seems to be;
1. Main Message (or Point)
2. Example
3. Next steps to put it into Action
take away the extra "blabber" and you've got viewers that will come back.
