Burst Your Bubble NOW To Get More Customers

mind I was browsing through the bookstore today (which for me is very close to achieving Nirvana) and I bet you think I was hanging out in the SALES and BUSINESS section.
Nope.
You'll hardly ever find me there in fact.
Nooooo...I like hanging out in the cooking section, the new age section, the history section, teen and kids section, how to make a macaroni collage section...
You get the picture.
One of my little secrets to selling has absolutely NOTHING to do with selling and EVERYTHING to do with expanding my creativity.
And I end up making tons more money almost by magnificent default!
Why?
You Have To Burst Your Bubble NOW To Get More Customers!

OK pay attention cupcake.
If you:
• Attend one more boring tradeshow related to your industry
• Read one more self-absorbed trade magazine
• Listen to one more long-winded teleclass from your "own circle"
• Read one more book written by one of your industry "experts"
...I guarantee your brain is going to shrivel up in rebellion and you're going to end up singing the Sesame Street song over and over and over.
And that would be a sad thing. Plus - it's exactly what your competitors are doing.
So instead - why not give your brain what it has been BEGGING you to do?

Break The Boredom Bubble!
My buddy Albert Einstein said this:
"A problem cannot be solved by the same factors that created it."
Yes - he was talking about YOU!
Do you know what customers really, really want?
Yeah - tell me what they want, what they really, really want!
FRESH IDEAS.
FRESH PERSPECTIVE.
FRESH EVERYTHING.
And my darling reader, that simply cannot happen if you're living in a bubble of
You, you, you.

So let me come at you with my invisible Sales Diva Pin...
POP!

5 Sales Diva Activities You're Going To Do NOW!
1. Read a book that is about gravity. Or how to fly an airplane. ANYTHING you wouldn't normally read.
2. Read 3 magazines that are totally bizarre -ie/ crocheting, Millionaire, How To Live With A Gecko.
3. Check out a ie/tattoo store, or an antiques store or a store that only sells lollipops.
4. Attend a tradeshow about boats, or motorcycles, or the chess convention.
5. Meet with 5 new people and take them for coffee....at a truckstop.

Don't Keep Looking For Answers In The Same Old Places!!

So you're thinking...
"HOW is that going to help me Sales Diva???"
Well you're going to see:
1. A new font style you love
2. An idea of how to create a new product or service
3. A new perspective on advertising
4. New ways of offering guarantees and customer service
5. How other companies promote themselves
And the list goes on and on and on and it's so exciting!
Hmmm I bet you're wondering what EUREKA moment I had in the bookstore today?
Well - it was HUGE and it will be worth at least $30,000 per year for me...and not hard to do either.
So there.
Love From Your Bossy Sales Diva,
Kim

Re: Invest in Real Estate or Stocks? - Dear Christian Congratulations on looking towards investing. I believe Harry S Dent has the right idea about the economy.

10 best franchises to get involved - I don't think a franchise (or even most businesses) fits your criteria even if you had enough savings to take the risk. Personally, if I were your age and had your aspirations, knowing what I know now, I'd probably look at real estate. Doesn't take near as much money to get your feet wet, and there's nowhere near the risk of most businesses, certainly most franchises. Starting out I'd look at rehabbing houses that I when finished would sell in most places in this country in the $75 - $150,000 range. Bubble or not, there is a huge demand for nice starter homes. I can't think of another business with less downside risk and more potential. The best business could peter out before you're ready for it to. Real estate is forever.
