Building your business will take time

In the last five posts I have shared with you some tips, that will take you and your business to another level.

  1. Get out of your comfort zone
  2. Get obsessed about your goals
  3. Develop a strong work ethic
  4. Have fun
  5. Make a conscious decision to never quit

However, there is no shortcut. This business is not a sprint. The opposite is the case, it is a marathon.

Think about it:

As long as you can keep a long-term outlook, in 3 to 5 years you can be living an incredible stress-free lifestyle. You’re going to be working anyway for the next 3-5 years, you might as well work at something that can change your life.

It takes time to build relationships. You need to develop trust and rapport with people. There is this famous saying “People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care”. Become a good listener. And one day, when you feel comfortable enough to approach them with the business opportunity … then people receive it, because they are listening.

Get Obsessed About Your Goal

Tip 2:

Now, this doesn’t mean that you need to neglect your spiritual life or your family life. But, you need to think about and focus on what you want constantly. Brian Tracy, success coach and author, says that successful people are “future oriented” In other words, they’re focused on where they’re going and where they’ll be in 5 years. It’s because of this focus on what they want, that enables them to accomplish more than the average person.

You need to determine your reason why. Why do you chose to join a team or do this kind of business. This creates a picture of the future you want to attain. Match your dream with real pictures. Create your own personal vision board. you don’t need to share this with other, however it would force you a bit more to be accountable. This vision board becomes a constant reminder that you have made this commitment to yourself.

Picture Your Goal

Go and Get It

Setting a goal with a specific time point allows you also to determine milestones. This gives your journey a realist touch. You then know what you have to achieve in a month or in a week to be on track with your goal. This doesn’t not allow procrastination to occure, otherwise your goal moves further away again.

Remind yourself daily where you want to be in 1 month, 1 year and 5 years. This determines your day to day task list. Have you done something today that brings you closer to your goal? Yes – great tick it off your list, celebrate and move on to the next step. No – do it now if you are really committed to yourself! ;)

Get Out of Your Comfort Zone

Building a business is not a sprint, we need to realize it is a marathon. And there will be up and down times. That’s life. I recently was given 5 tips that will keep you on track, given you have the patience and the commitment to make it happen.

Tip 1:

It’s been said that everything you want in your life, whether it’s in your business or in your personal life, lies outside of your comfort zone. Whether you’re trying to get in great shape or trying to have a great family, it takes a tremendous amount of effort to succeed. It’s no different with your business and your goals. Your success will require you to do things that most people wouldn’t do. However, if you do them, you’ll have a life that most people won’t.

What do you see outside of your comfort zone? Adventure or fear? Opportunity or uncertainty? A one-way or a return ticket? How big is your desire to succeed in life?

Distribution Industry – the new wave

Direct distribution - see the opportunity

Direct distribution

Paul Zane Pilzer, the author of the New York Times bestsellers God Wants You to Be Rich and Umlimited Wealth, teaches his students the following two principles of unlimited wealth in our economy.

  1. Over time, individuals can produce an unlimited amount of a single good or service by making use of the advancing technology that automatically results from specialization.
  2. The total overall wealth of a society is thus limited only by distribution: the number of individuals available to consume and trade their specialized produce and tools.

It is not about the products anymore … the most expensive part of a product is the delivery. And some entrepreneurs discovered this quite early. We have Sam Walton from Wal-Mart, distributing produce made by other companies. Fred Smith founded Federal Express and introduced planes to transport goods and not only people. I am sure the younger generation has heard about amazon. Jeff Bezos became an Internet billionaire by setting up an online platform to buy books, and now almost anything. And bookstores in general don’t have a physical distribution service.

Normal bookstores and shops educate people about what is available. But now sometimes people know more about a product than the actual store staff. Because people get education through TV, radio or internet. They want to shop in the most time efficient way to the lowest cost.

So where does the opportunity lie for us here? Paul Zane Pilzer predicts the Wellness Revolution. The opportunity lies in the health and beauty area combined with a distribution business.

Thus, teaching consumers about such products and services – intellectual distribution – is the greates entrepreneurial opportunity now and for the foreseeable future. – Pilzer

I really appreciate the educating part. Only the education about health, business etc. gives the education from school some kind of meaning. You don’t have to study economics to understand direct marketing. When you can cut out the middle men the product itself becomes so much cheaper. That’s direct distribution.

Where does employment come from?

According to the dictionary employment describes the condition of having paid work. In a lame statement, it is a fair exchange of money for time. So, what happens when you don’t need this person anymore? In today’s world you are stuck with this person and you still have to pay them, even worse when they are member of a union ;)

No, seriously, why do we have employment and why is this what you don’t want in the 21st century? Read the rest of this entry

How to become a Super Star

6K in 6 weeks

Become a Superstar

Imagine to simply follow a guideline step-by-step and you become a Superstar -> guaranteed!

You think this is impossible?

I suggest you change your belief.

It is so simple, but it is not easy. Why? Because people love to take shortcuts or they think they know better. People struggle to commit to something especially when there is not immediate gratification. Discipline is also not everyone’s favourite. That’s why bHIP is not for everyone.

Network Marketing vs Internet Marketing

They finally came together. Internet marketing will help network marketing to get rid of its suffering reputation. So, what’s the story?

Network marketing is obviously around for much longer. The objections against network marketing are well know. Some are true and some are not true. Pyramid schemes exist everywhere in any institution and corporation. Every government is looking after illegal pyramid schemes. You can be assured that the majority of network marketing companies are a legal structure.

And yes, the network marketing business is not for everyone, same for every business. However, internet and network marketing can be very simple. If you are able to stick to a system and follow some rules, you can be successful in both areas. The only challenge you have is you need to find the right network marketing company that provides you the system. And also for Internet Marketing, find the people who have done it already and just follow their system, as long it is legal of course.

I guess I have been lucky with both. (LUCK = Location,Understanding ,Connection and Knowledge) bHIP has the right system in place Team in motion. it combines the best of Internet Marketing with Network Marketing. Use the prospect pipeline and duplicate yourself.

Similar, I am mentored by one of the word’s best Internet Marketers. His system is simple, but to succeed you have to be disciplined and committed.

Same principles in both marketing areas.

Ask better questions

… or more clearer … ask questions. One lesson I have learned this week.
Setting up a project should be as detailed as possible. For setting up a website this involves and design details, inclusive color, images, font size, font family and so on. If this is not clear from the beginning … this project will most likely fail.

Never assume something. As soon as you think this should be fine … the inner alarm should go off. Before you accept a project you should ask as many questions as possible. Let get some ideas here: Read the rest of this entry
