Remain Firmly Grained and Indoctrinated in What You Do Well

As you close the book on 2009 you want to find some places where you can congratulate yourself and some places where you can really acknowledge yourself for some progress you have created, or some of the ground that you broken even if your results haven’t quite caught up with your personal growth as of today.

Take just a moment and bring one moment to life, a moment of meaning that happened in your day, week or month of 2009 that created real significance for you.  One example that showed you are on the right track.   It can be as simple as connecting with the right people or learning a new skill, just one golden nugget.

What has changed and what confirms that you are on the right path as an entrepreneur as you charge into 2010.

Sometimes it is very easy to get caught up thinking about all of our goals/aspirations/ dreams but maybe 2009 is not the year those came true for you.  This may not have been your most successful year in business but create some clarity about what you have learned from this year.  What are some of the experiences you’ve had an opportunity to be part of this year?  What have you learned from them about business, about yourself, about marketing and especially about sales?

Highly effective people do on a daily basis.  It is one of their habits and it is one of the reasons they continue to create such huge successful years, year after year after year. It is done with great repetition on a daily weekly monthly annually basis and allows them to have the kind of focus to create consistent results.

You do not require tricks or ploys to seduce people into doing business with you.

As a trainer or sales professional you will see all the tricks of the trade.  These are the little games that sales people play to get ahead.  And the challenge is that many of these little tricks are just that.  They are tricks.

What you need is a strong clear message of why it makes sense for people to do business with you.

Using shortcuts or tricks contradicts the message you desire to radiate and that message is: It is a good business decision to trust me.

One habit that you can begin to implement to change your results tonight is to Communicate that trusting you is a sound business decision to your prospects.  So if you are trying to sell cars talk about cars – If you are selling cows, talk about cows.  If you are marketing a business opportunity, talk about the business opportunity.  Do not fall into the trap of using one product to seduce a prospect into a conversation or interaction with you with the intent on selling them something else later.

Assist your prospect to see exactly why it makes sense to collaborate
with you in business rather than buy from someone else.

Learn to communicate the value that you bring to the table in any transaction and you will build a solid a credible business in any market within the sales industry.   As you hear other stories and ideas that other sales people are implementing ask yourself if these methods are within your integrity before implementing them.   If a trick or a shortcut comes at the expense of your integrity then the price is much too high.    A successful sales person is a good leader because they inspire trust.

Top sales people in world class organizations have personal magnetism that naturally attracts people to them coupled with the self assurance to say follow me with confidence that their company can deliver the results their customer is seeking.

Developing your trustworthiness means developing your leadership skills.  You require confidence and authority combined with the knowledge of your products and service.  An understanding of what your prospects do for a living and assuming the responsibility in assisting them in finding a solution to what they require.  This does not mean guarantying their success.

It is about assuming responsibility for assisting them find a solution for what it is that they are seeking.

You must find out what they are looking for and then determine if what you are offering is a good fit for them.  Then put them in the direction of what they require to see that what you are marketing is a solution or a potential solution for whatever it is that they are seeking to change in their life.

Prospects can sense this when you offer it.  Most of them will relax once they know that you are charge and they will willingly follow you once they feel that they can trust you.

So the focus here is not how trustworthy you appear it about how trustworthy you really are.

So begin today to develop a reputation for following through with what you say.  Don’t speak anything that you cannot deliver because the truly great marketers know that power in this industry is to Under Promise and Over Deliver.

Don’t get seduced into promising more than what you can absolutely deliver.  You will build more trust by delivering more than what you speak rather than speaking big and delivering small.  Begin to do this today and you will create a habit of delivering what you promise and more.  Then you will be in a position to say with authority Follow Me.

Stop Struggling!

Mindset is the foundation of your business.

Starting an online business is hard enough.  That coupled with the fact that your main product will be you music, something that is uniquely tied to your emotions and you are headed for one big head trip.

For that reason more than any other is so important for You – The Artist to get this right.  The street isn’t the only place you can lose credibility.    You can lose it just the same right here on the net.  And this isn’t only your block this is the World.  So you have to have your head in the right place.

If you are just starting to Market Your Music Online there will be a ton of new information coming your way and you may feel a bit overwhelmed.  Which is the right system, who is the right leader?  And you can literally get caught “deciding” for months on end.  It is a dangerous place to be. Time is lost and there is no getting it back.

There is a right way, and there is a wrong way.

Are you tired of not getting the results you want in your business? Tired of sending out tons of messages, making the connection only to be left with an empty wallet?

Don’t give up.

What if I told you that there is a way for you to actually attract an endless stream of new fans and customers directly to you with credit card in hand ready to join your mailing list and actually make money off of the people who say “no” to your opportunity?

Would that peak your interest?

YOU Will Be Judged by the Friends YOU Keep – How to Change My Circle of Influence

My father always said this to us growing up and it rings true here.

Think of the five people you spend most of your time with.
This is your Direct Circle of Influence. I am sure you will find that you all make around the same amount of money.

Now, look at someone you know that is making significantly more money that you, and think about their friends.
These people usually live in gated communities and shop in exclusive boutiques. They fly first class and stay at luxury resorts.

Circle of Influence

You will make similar decisions and assume a similar life and lifestyle. You will adopt the same mentality of the people you are with the most. This includes characters on TV, celebrities you follow, books, movies and yes, MUSIC.

I want to you to be consciously aware (unlike the majority of society), that thoughts, ideas, and attitudes are real things and that they are contagious.

Your mind set is fluid, ever changing with the ideas and interactions on a daily basis.

Successful people want to protect their minds from the thoughts of poverty and struggle that are held by the rest of common society because they know that all thoughts are contagious, and they have a burning desire to live un-common lives.

The rich get richer because they only invite and interact with other prosperous people.
