Will You Add? - How You Could Take The First Step To Become Financially Free
I recently received a most interesting phone call. When I answered the phone, I immediately recognized the name of the company as one of the most visible distributors in the construction supply industry, headquartered in a city about two hours from my office. The owner described how this seemingly invincible 75-year-old firm had very little to show for all those years except their good name. In fact, over the past five years, their sales had deteriorated by over one third.The owner cited two major factors that he believed to be the cause: 1. A strong national distributor had opened in his market. 2. A near depression was looming over the community due to the closure of a large military base.I asked the owner to allow me to interview and test each of his key employees and also interview several customers. The owner also agreed to send me the company’s financial statements from the past five years.The results should be a warning to every business: management apathy will k
I was advised to stop “THINKING JOB”. We, for many generations, our parents, their parents and their parents’ parents had been brought up to have only one major objective in life -- JOB. We work hard in schools so that we could get good grades to advance to colleges and universities where we worked even harder so that we could get a good and secured JOB. Once we’ve got the jobs we want we continue to work very hard in order to maintain t
Trade shows are essential for the growth of any industry. It is a great venue for customers to meet the industry leaders. For exhibitors, it may mean a lot more. Participating in a trade show does not only let the company come face-to-face with potential clients, it is also an opportunity for extensive market research. Trade shows place you under the same roof with your direct competitors, so you get the chance to learn more about them and how clients react to their offerings. Of course, trade shows are also the place for you to promote your business.Here are some steps to ensure you grab your potential clients' attention before anyone else does:1) Get the news out Weeks, even months, before the trade show you should already be looking for ways to market your company's participation in the affair. There are several ways to do this: a.) Send out a press release to the local newspapers and magazines; b) Put out an ad about the upcoming event; c) If you can get your
After some trying and tiring years, I realized to my disappointment that I was not getting anywhere. I tried many other alternatives but none could work to my satisfaction and I began to resign to the fact that I’ve to forget about my DREAMS and continue to live life of the majority i.e. get up in the morning…get into the traffic jam…go to work… come back from work…have dinner …watch TV… go to bed…kind of life!
Still, deep down in my heart, there was a burning urge to continue my search. I attended seminars after seminars to seek out a suitable direction that I can follow.
At long last, in one of these seminars, I chanced upon an interesting finding - most of the very wealthy people do not actually work hard at all! I’m talking about people who live life on their own terms. They’re people who have all the money they need, yet they seem to have a choice to work when they want to...where they want to... for whom they want to. Best of all, they have all the free time in the world to travel...to spend with their kids…do gardening…lower their golf scores...to learn a new recipe in the kitchen…and to really, really enjoy life.
I also learnt the word, “LEVERAGE” which these multimillionaires used to create wealth by doing the minimum while harvesting the maximum. The true meaning of “wealth” suddenly dawned on me.
“TRUE WEALTH” means the ability to do what you want, however you want it and whenever you want it. This is “FINANCIAL FREEDOM” many of us are should be yearning for.
Also, the time when you’re due to retire has nothing to do with your age. You can retire any time you want once you’ve achieved financial freedom. This can happen when you reach the age of 30, 35 or 40, not necessarily 55 or 60 as we’re all brought up to believe. There’re people who’re in their 60’s or 70’s but could not afford to retire because they need their jobs to continue paying their bills!

Food, kids, pets, money, health, and sex. Yes, these are each topics with large audiences and interest, at least in North America and some other countries of the world. You may have personal or professional expertise in one or more of these topics. Seems like any of those would be a great place to start writing a booklet, wouldn't it?I would agree, to a point. That point is marketing. Successful, easy, cohesive marketing is based on your level of enthusiasm about the topic you choose topic, and how it all fits in with the rest of your life. If your business is focused on one of those topics mentioned at the beginning of this article, then by all means, write about it and begin as soon as you can. If your business is NOT focused on one of those topics, and you are writing about it because of the ready market you think you'll find, then you will probably be setting yourself up for conflict, chaos, and collisions.What excites you in your business or in any other part of your life wh

This morning my 8 year old son Euan was eating his chocolate crispy thingies at breakfast when he suddenly announced to his mum.“Mum, don’t think I’m being rude, but do you mind if Dad takes us to school this morning?”Now how do you feel my wife felt? She felt hurt. Not because she didn’t want to take him to school because she’s always got a thousand things to do. Not because of being refused. The reason she felt hurt is because she was asked to think that Euan was going to be rude and before she even heard him, she’d convinced herself that he was going to be rude.And when he wasn’t it didn’t matter. She’d convinced herself that whatever he was going to say, he was going to be rude.Strange that. But logical.You see if I ask you not to do something, the way we process this in our heads is to think of the thing we’re not going to do first, then we think of not doing it, as instructed. The net result, we think of doing it.Don’t think now of a giant

You will always have more people that turn down your offer than actually buy. They might not have bought because of your price, payment options, or any other possible reason. You will just end up loosing all these potential lifetime customers. However, there are many ways you can minimize the loss of these prospects.One way is to accept barter offers for your product. Maybe the person can't afford to buy your product. They may have something you could use in your business or personal life. If the barter deal isn't fair enough, either of you could add in some cash. You may not make money but, they might buy other products you offer.Another way is to include a negotiation offer at the end of your ad copy. Tell your reader if there is something they don't like about your offer, they could contact you and negotiate a different buying offer. They may not like your price, guarantee, shipping methods, payment options, etc. You can gain a potential lifetime customer by

I was advised to stop “THINKING JOB”. We, for many generations, our parents, their parents and their parents’ parents had been brought up to have only one major objective in life -- JOB. We work hard in schools so that we could get good grades to advance to colleges and universities where we worked even harder so that we could get a good and secured JOB. Once we’ve got the jobs we want we continue to work very hard in order to maintain them and to climb the so-called organizational ladder of success.
As a result, we all have fallen into the trap of the RAT RACE.
Although some of us could be drawing quite a handsome income, we’re not truly “wealthy” because we’re not free to do what we want and when we want.
I’ve heard of many sad stories of rich EMPLOYEES not being able to spent Badly needed valuable time with members of their families who’re sick in hospitals because they could not afford to be away from their place of work for too long as their services are urgently required by their employers.
Doctors could not really relax and enjoy a long vacation for fear of the loss of income and patients while their clinics remain closed.
The bottom line is - we all have our JOBS to look after! We have no time to think of becoming TRULY WEALTHY and FREE.
I therefore suggest that you stop THINKING JOB effective from today. You should now realize that a job would not make you rich. If you have a job, you’re being paid a salary for your EFFORT. Is it possible to get paid for putting zero or very little effort ? If your answer is “No”, you’re dead wrong! Because you’re still thinking job!
What I’m about to propose to you is this - copy what the truly wealthy people are doing (or rather not doing). They earn their income through various LEVERAGE STRATEGIES which allow them to make money while they’re sleeping, meddling with hobbies, or having vacation in far away places such as the beautiful beaches in Hawaii or Malaysia.
The first step we need to take is not to have a job working for others. You should start having your own business and work for yourself. Don’t get me wrong! I’m not suggesting for a moment that you start investing heavily in building a store, shops or even factory, getting employees, build up inventory, getting permits and licenses etc, etc. If you did this, you’d end up putting a lot of EFFORT and still having a “JOB” to look after this TRADITIONAL physical business!
There’re many routes the rich and wealthy are taking but not all of these would be suitable for you. You have to
