MINDSET SECRETS
1. *EXPECT* TO WIN... *EXPECT* TO SUCCEED
While we all experience highs and lows in our business, outrageously successful enterprises EXPECT to succeed over the long run. For such enterprises,
Success is the ONLY option.
To what extent do you EXPECT to succeed in your business? What less empowering expectations currently undermine your success? Make a *decision* today to succeed. “Cut the cord” on all other possible outcomes.
2. LIVE AND BREATHE YOUR MISSION STATEMENT
While most businesses have crafted a mission statement, it is not enough just to have one. Outrageously successful enterprises live and breathe their mission statement ... in every goal, every strategy and every project of their business. It is the life force and the reason for everything they do.
Do you have a compelling mission statement for your business? Do you communicate it - both in words and actions - to every client, every prospect, every employee? If you asked any one of these stakeholders what is your mission, would they know what to say?
Post and read your mission statement daily. Include it in all your collateral materials. Live and breathe your mission statement in every goal, decision and action. This one principle will make your business a compelling magnet for greater and greater levels of success.
3. ALWAYS ASK THE MILLION $$ QUESTION:
***** “Where is the opportunity in this situation?” *******
Within *every business challenge,* there is an extraordinary opportunity for a HUGE breakthrough. Even with the most difficult challenges, outrageously successful enterprises never see challenges. They ONLY see opportunities. They constantly ask: “Where is the opportunity in this situation?”
Where is your focus right now in your business - on the challenge or the opportunity? Make it a habit with every challenge to ask: “Where is the opportunity in this situation?” that one question will blow open the doors to new solutions, new strategies and new possibilities to take your business to the next level.
4. BECOME THE ULTIMATE BUSINESS “ROMANTICIST”
Outrageously successful enterprises are constantly “IN LOVE.” Yes, that’s right. They LOVE their customers. They LOVE their employees and vendors. They LOVE their visions. They LOVE everything about their business.
This principle is not something you get from a book. It comes from the very heart and soul of why you are in business. When you are “in love,” it shines forth in every client interaction, every exchange with a prospect, every dealing with a peer or vendor. Remember the old cliche, “People don’t care what you know; they want to know that you care.”
Are you “IN LOVE” with your clients and prospects? Are you “IN LOVE” with the benefits you offer? Are you “IN LOVE” with every aspect of your business? If not, why not? What do you need to change about your attitude, beliefs or actions to become the “Ultimate Business Romanticist.”

While communicating with others, you need to make sure you come across confident, professional and friendly. In order to come across this way, you should pay attention to simple communication gestures such as shaking hands, connecting with your eyes, listening to others and speaking clearly. Take the time to practice these techniques. Pay attention to how you interact with others so you can continuously improve. Give a Good, Firm HandshakeFirst impressions are so important and set the tone for a conversation. Make sure to start out right by giving a good, firm handshake. You don’t want to squeeze too hard because you may hurt the other person. A “knuckle-crunching handshake” can signal that you are very aggressive and need to be in control. On the other hand, you don’t want to give a “dead-fish handshake” as this signals that you may be weak or perceive the other person to be weak. In addition, a wimpy handshake may imply that you are introverted and not confident. A firm handshake that isn’t too hard or too w

Guglielmo Marconi invented radio in 1896. The first commercial transistor radio was the Regency TR1, which went on the market in the USA in 1954. Many people have contributed to the development of the radio. Radios grew in popularity in the late 1920s and became a common household gadget.Radio commercials are considered an economical medium for advertising. It costs much less to produce a radio commercial and to buy airtime than to film a TV commercial and buy television airtime. However, radio commercials need to be effective in different ways than TV commercials, in order to grab the listener’s attention and cover all the key points in a concise, informative and entertaining manner.Radio commercials can be in the form of radio copy read by on-air personalities or pre-produced spots of 5, 30 or 60 seconds. The advertising copy must be in a conversational style with important information repeated during the ad. Placement is the other key to radio commercials. An ad during morning or evening ""drive time"" is far more effective than an ad at 2 a.m. Typically, radio ads are bo

How do you see and practice marketing in your business -- as an event or a continuum? What *post sales* and prospect follow-up activities can you incorporate as the focus of your marketing efforts? This one shift n your marketing focus alone can increase your revenues 100%, 200%, even 500% ... more than any marketing action you take in your business.
6. CONSTANTLY “MARKET UP”
Within every target market, there is a high end and a low end market and everything in between. Million $$ enterprises constantly stretch their marketing sights and target prospects that most businesses would think impossible to acquire as clients. They constantly “market up” to high end prospects ... a strategy that catalyzes their business to a much bigger game.
What specific prospects ... or kinds of prospects ... would you love to have a clients or customers but think it is impossible? Think out side the box and think BIG. It could be celebrities, politicians, admired companies or CEOs, leaders in your community, rolemodels, etc.
Pick one high end prospect to start. Build a marketing campaign to reach that person or company. This strategy requires persistence, yet is well worth it. From my own first hand experience, ”marketing up” can skyrocket your revenues and business exposure instantly and multiply your profits for years to come .
7. MAKE “ADDING MORE VALUE” YOUR #1 CRUSADE.
Outrageously successful enterprises are in the business of creating value. They have a strong conviction to contribute to more and more richness to their clients’ lives and businesses.
In everything they say and do. they let clients know “you matter. Your well-being and success is important to us.” They focus on “what do I have to give?” ... NOT “what do I have to do to get a sale?”
Where is your focus right now --- on adding value, or making the sale? Make a list of at least 10 ways yo can increase the value of your products and services. Implement the easiest one ideas ... starting now. Make “adding value” a routine business priority. When you do, your products and services will sell themselves.
PERFORMANCE SECRETS
8. OPTIMIZE, OPTIMIZE, OPTIMIZE
Outrageously successful enterprises are masters at achieving the greatest return at the lowest possible risk. They constantly look for ways to reduce the amount of time, money and energy to achieve their ultimate goals.
They take what works and see if they can make it better, faster, cheaper. They know the “what if” implications of every new strategy, goal, product or service. They are pros at maximizing performance tradeoffs.
Do your know the profitability of each product or service you offered? Do you know what clients are the most expensive, demanding or time-consuming to serve? If you doubled your client base, do you know the implications on costs, revenues and the operations of your business?
To optimize your business results, think highest and best use of your time, energy and money. ALWAYS THINK HIGHEST AND BEST!!
9. MULTIPLY PROFITS THROUGH THE POWER OF LEVERAGE.
Most businesses build their enterprises in a haphazard way. Outrageously successful businesses grow their businesses from a place of leverage. They look for new ways to convert their current assets, strengths and opportunities into new revenue streams. They c
