    Today we want to talk about how you get started – how you formally launch your business - how you sell your first order.

    Taking action
    Taking action – actually getting started – to launch your business is probably the hardest action you will take. This is where most people who set out to become financially independent lose the plot.

    Think back to the last seminar you attended. When you were talking with others during coffee breaks, at lunch or in the evening, most said something like this, ‘Well, I bought So-and-So’s package but it doesn’t seem to work.’

    When you discussed this further with them, you discovered they never really took any action. Some never truly identified their markets. Others never chose specific products. Most never designed a cogent model and used this to launch their business (I heard recently that 92% of people who attend a seminar and buy a package never even take the cellophane wrappers off the DVDs).

    5 Surefire Ways to Get Your Brochure Thrown in the Trash

    Branding - Brand Identity Guru
    Brands are important aspects of any business, but unlike money or bricks, mortar and paperclips, a brand is an intangible aspect of business. It lives in people’s heads and is defined by all of that person’s contacts with a company. Improving a brand is, therefore, one of the best marketing tools available because it involves your whole company and in the end, creates happier customers, more loyalty and higher marketshare.H

    They never wrote a sales letter and sent it out to their target market. They never, in fact, took the very big step of sending out a sales letter to prospective customers and asking for their business. Somebody told me along the way that 85% of sales that are lost are because the sales person simply never asked for the order.

    I have no idea why this is so. My guess is because this step is scary.

    The pundits will all tell you the first order is the hardest – after that it gets much easier. Never be afraid to take the action.

    • Have I decided how I am going to build my list? Have I d
