Is your business all you want it to be or is it a glorified job?

I know…

You got into your own business for the freedom it gives you, being your own boss, creating a better lifestyle for you and your family.

I understand.

Then you got busy. Made some money. Liked it. Maybe even got addicted to seeing a return on your investment of time.

There it is…

Time = money.

If more time equals more money for you, then you have a job.

It’s not your fault. We’ve been conditioned since school days to plan to work for someone else.

But as a business OWNER, making one shift to overseeing the engine of your business… (translation: sales) can transform your life from getting by to thriving, no matter what’s going on in the economy.

Here’s the kicker…

YOU don’t have to be responsible for that department. You can find someone or a company to take that over for you.

As the business leader in your company, even if you’re working at home alone, all you need is one thing…

Vision.

The greatest transformation is how you see your business from its foundation on up.

The greatest trap is thinking that “small business” means small thinking.

Here’s one way to think differently…

How can you create more value in your market, than anyone else right now? What’s missing, lacking?

Answer that and you’ve found one way to supercharge your business virtually overnight.

Recently I took two of my kids to see The Spy Next Door starring Jackie Chan, Amber Valletta, George Lopez and Billy Ray Cyrus.

As usual, Jackie Chan shows his mastery of using his environment and surroundings to fight and protect those he cares for. Everything from kitchen ware and a refrigerator to a bicycle and a folding chair was used as a weapon.

And he ALWAYS wins!

Even though it’s just a movie, many lessons can be drawn from it. Namely… What kind of change could you employ to also win at everything you do?

Mental and Environmental Change

I’m right in the middle of my NetSlingers Accelerated Coaching program, and what’s always interesting to me is where people are in their lives and why.

Even though they’ll “say” they need to learn about the  technical side of setting up their businesses online, it’s usually much more than that. It’s their mental game. In fact, virtually everyone I’m coaching has been and are successful in their own right. But something happened along the way…

It’s called life. Relationships both personal and professional gone awry.  Entrepreneurial highs and lows. Financial market woes. Intolerant of mediocrity…

Having someone offer a new perspective, a different viewpoint, a change of environment (whether virtual or real), an insight, a word, a related personal story…
KNOWING your value as a human who is being themselves and offering a better way, a solution to some else’s ails, or addressing a major complaint in an industry…

This is the pathway to extraordinary success for both you and those in your circle… your family, your friends, your clients, your customers, your community.

Choose your exciting path. What do you have to offer? If you’re not sure, ask three people who really know you: “What would you say are my greatest strengths?”

This is your starting point.

As the Canadian rock band, Rush, wrote in their song Vital Signs: It takes “mental and environmental change” to “leave those conditions” and have “courageous  convictions to drag [your] dream into existence!”

What must change today to live life on your terms, in the way you’ve dreamed? Everybody’s got a dream…

I made a decision a few weeks ago to write my first action-adventure script by June 30th of this year. I’ve had this idea for over FIVE YEARS. When was I going to start? I’m committed to seeing it through. I even have a writing coach (which has just become two!) in my corner, as their vast experience is making the journey much more enjoyable and easier than I ever thought.

The process of writing characters is the process of personal discovery. Things I like and things I don’t.

Something must change now for me. What is it? Being exposed to other viewpoints. Gaining knowledge and understanding in areas I’ve never really journeyed before.

That means a mental and environmental change. Meeting and talking with new or different people. Reading and listening to new or unusual things. Working out everyday for just 5-10 minutes using the Five Tibetans. Playing Band Hero with my kids. Spending more time on my spiritual growth. This has made a huge difference. My game is on!

So, what must change for you today?

I’m curious to know and hear from you…

Turn Frustration Into Fun and Profits

Zaqueu is frustrated and ready to quit. How about you?

“My frustration with IM til now is to fix things when I join some
program, system or whatever stuff I’d join. They say it’s easy to fix,
it’s 99,9% done for you…and so on.

“But when you have done all the instructed matter, you find that nothing
is working [in] my favor and my effort [is] in vain, because even if I
promote it the right way, things seem to be not working and I find
myself on loss of time and money.

“Haven’t found something that really works, and I’m skeptical and about
to give up.”

Don’t give up!

I have to tell you, Zaqueu, that you are JUST about to break through
to the other side and reach a measure of success that will inspire,
encourage, and bring you up to the next level.

But you must move forward immediately.

The best thing about frustration is that it’s an indicator of something
your brain is getting annoyed with, because it wants to…no…NEEDS
to find the answer.

That means you’re asking good questions, but just need to tweak or
adjust ever so slightly, to now ask GREAT questions.

This takes you from frustration to fun.

For example, you may ask yourself: “Why am I fat?”
Your brain responds: “Because you are a pig!”

Not very inspiring or constructive, I must say.

Now ask: “How can lose two pounds a week, while having fun?”
Brain responds: “Hmmm…we could walk those off every morning. No,
wait! We could cycle those off on the trail. Hey, even better! We could
DANCE those pounds off to some of my favorite tunes!”

See the difference the rephrasing of a question can challenge your
brain! That’s exactly where you are right now, Zaqueu.

Now, I’m not sure what kind of programs you’ve been trying to promote,
but they should be step-by-step to install (without any “fixing” of any
kind). i.e. they should work!

Perhaps you need to reconsider the programs you’re looking into.

Let me ask you a question:

What topic are you REALLY excited and jazzed about? I’m talking
about something where people tell you to ‘shut up’ about it already.

Know what I mean? Once you get started on this topic, you can go
on and on and on, til someone walks out or hangs up the phone
because you LOVE this topic so much.

THIS answer (or topic) should be tied-in with what kind of program
you’re looking to promote. Why? Because when frustration sets in
(and it always does when a breakthrough is about to happen), you
will dig under, jump over, circle around, shoot through, find a way
to get around it, JUST because you love it so much and now perceive
it as a challenge, instead of defeat.

Does that make sense?

There is a caution, however…but I’ll have to make that on another
post, as I have to get back to my “fun!”
