30 day detox

This piece and these ideas are based on the thoughts of John Jackson – Carbon Copy Pro Mentor.

In order to get more done and become a better leader John outlines 8 behaviour changes. He challenges us to try these for 30 days and see how we feel as a result. I’ll be working on these too!

- Read positive, uplifting material for 15-30 minutes a day.
- Avoid the TV for 30 days. Create time for other activities.
- Leave the Radio switched off for 30 days. Switch to CD or MP3 music.
- Cancel the newspapers and focus on now and tomorrow rather than yesterday.
- Choose our associations carefully. Spend more time with positive people, less with ones who drag our emotions and energy levels down.
- Drink more water to re-hydrate so you think more clearly and have more energy.
- Excersise more which can be as simple as a walk around the block or to the shops.
- Have some daily reflection time to give thanks for the good and great things in our lifes and focus on our goals.

Get the right things done by knowing what can be left undone. Train yourself to get into the zone and develop tunnel vision for high priority activities.

Focus on high yield activities. One of the highest is sharing a vision with your team. Communicate your vision to others by what you say but more by what you do.

Thanks for sharing John.

Mission - what's the purpose?

If you’re looking for a ‘get rich quick’ scheme then you’re in the wrong place. 

If your primary mission is to become a millionaire then you may want to step back a moment. 

By all means have this as a goal or as an objective, but as a mission? Yes, this organisation has an objective to create 100 millionaires by 2012. However, the way you achieve that success and what you can do as a result of that success are worth considering. For example, a great way to achieve success is to give before you receive. 

An approach that attracts prospects towards your offer is much more appropriate and successful these days. You’ve probably heard the saying; “Give a man fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” 


Our mission is the latter; to teach people how to market online, to start and run a business and to manage and grow their wealth. 


Along the way we may sell a fishing rod and net, but teaching folks how to use them is provided as part of the package. 

Momentum – any business needs to generate leads.

Momentum – any business needs to generate leads. It's worth saying it twice!

Without leads you don’t have a business. If you can crack the lead generation challenge you’ve overcome one of the major reasons why a new business venture fails. 

Selling to family and friends, previous customers and clients, walk-in business etc. dries up sooner or later. 

Developing a process for online lead generation using a mix of the many and expanding range of options will accelerate the growth of your business. 

Working with a tried and tested blueprint process and support will significantly improve your chances of success.

Mindset

As an entrepreneur it’s vitally important to have the right mindset. 

What does this mean? It's having the right thinking about yourself, your products and services, about your customers, and the way you run your business. 

If you’re making the transition from being an employee to being an entrepreneur then having support, coaching and mentoring during this process will significantly improve your chances of success. 

Many self-help, how-to, and get rich quick schemes ignore this vital step and focus only on technical skills. 

This is just one element that sets this programme apart from the crowd. 

We are primarily a training company, providing an incubator environment for budding entrepreneurs.

Here it’s about joining a community of entrepreneurs, created and built to support and encourage the success of every member. 

Resources - what do you have?

Resources – your time and your money are two of your most valuable resources. 

For most people they are directly linked – people trade time for money as an employee. The more hours you work the more money you earn. As skills and value increases so the hourly rate increases. 

But in many cases you have to work the hours your company sets, even if they are anti-social or if they mean you miss out on family time. And you have commute time as well, which reduces your hourly rate and increases your costs. 

Your ability to increase your hourly rate may also be limited, if someone else is prepared to do the same job for less than you then your chances of a raise are very low. 

And your employer wants to take their slice of profit as well. 

And then global competition and the recession has a massive impact.

If you want to increase your productive time and your hourly rate you need to look at increasing your value and leverage. 


Education and training to increase your skills in in-demand areas will increase your value. 


Your leverage can be increased by moving from a 1:1 application of your skills to a 1:many and a 24/7 availability. 


These are both achievable through use of online publishing techniques. 


These are just some of the ways people are preparing for and moving into the new economy.

Results

Results, goals, objectives, outcomes, targets and a plethora of other terms are used to specify what we and others want to achieve. If you have an ambition to increase your income, to start a business, (either full-time or part-time), to manage your finances, to grow and manage your wealth, to increase your understanding and skills in online marketing, then you’ve come to the right place.

This programme helps you think through and structure your goals and objectives, helps you make an emotional connection with these goals (so important in order to stick with them) and then make a plan to achieve them. 

Beyond that, we provide you with ongoing support and resources to hold your hand through the journey until you reach the destination.

Each journey starts with a single step, so if you want to make progress then you need to take the first step.
