“Earnest acquisition of electric knowledge is the “secret” of the successful. Not having time for it is a choice of the poor.
If you ask a successful or rich person at 5:00 P.M. what he knows that he didn’t know at 7 A.M., he usually has an interesting answer.
If you ask a poor person the same question, he almost never has an answer. He’s been busy, though, that you can count on.” ~ Dan Kennedy
Well into Q1, you may have a little overwhelm trying to keep up with the mad pace of 2013. I’ve got news for you, if you’re going to make this business work, it’s going to get busier! That’s good, and that’s bad.
Life will get busier – more customers, more tasks, more to think about, more to build – if you’re moving in the right direction. That’s good, right?
What most people don’t know, is that more to do DOESN’T equal more success. Eventually you begin to realize that being busy is not the same as being profitable. That’s bad. That’s where overwhelm comes into the picture. 80% of businesses fail at this point.
The secret is …
Are you ready for this??
YOU don’t have to be busier. YOU can learn to practice putting into motion the things that make successful people – and successful businesses – tick.
I’ve worked with businesses all over America for the last six years, building their content and learning the hurdles they have to overcome to bring success into their companies. I’ve seen the very evident differences between what works and what doesn’t work. Unfortunately, more people know how to stay in business than know how to make it run profitably.
Making a profit means changing the way you think. It means filling your head with the perspectives necessary to see growth as a constant forward movement, rather than a destination. Yes, there are hurdles. But more importantly, my friends, strategies already exist that get you over them and on to the next one. Because that’s what business is, after all.
At Zero To Sixty Marketing, we’ve been through this, too. We’re committed to ongoing education, so we can always give you the best.
No matter how much money you make, you will always have to grow and learn in order to STAY in a money-making position.
- Successful people are students.
- They put learning first.
- They put reading at the TOP of their list.
- They share what they learn, and they learn some more.
- They’ll pay their last dime for education from the very best, because knowledge is power.
Successful people are artful at making it all look very easy, but the fact of the matter is, they don’t ‘wait till there’s enough time to learn.’ They know that if they wait to learn what they need to know, the time will never materialize.
Learning, reading, and relationship building with others who know how to be successful are the building blocks of their companies – NOT their product or service.
This month, love yourself and your business enough to invest in training and reading that build you up. Here’s the reading list I recommend you begin to tackle.
Reading list:
- The E-Myth Revisited, Michael Gerber
- No B.S. Business Success, Dan Kennedy
- The Success System That Never Fails, Stone
