I have a personal challenge for you this weeked. It is something that you have never done before that I can guarantee. And It will truly open your eyes to a powerful reality in the area of developing the appropriate home business skills to create and sell the most expensive programs in your niche.
But first an update about two women who live in opposite parts of the world.
It’s a first in the authoring coaching business. Would you watch these two women live on the Internet’s first live coaching program from http://BooksMeanCredibility.com?
You get to watch clients creating an idea from scratch and transform into a powerful recommendation using the new rules of the Recommendation Age.
You get to watch clients make money live on the Internet’s first live coaching and book marketing program.
In fact one of our Platinum clients, Sam Crowley, just made a cool $20,000 today selling the most expensive programs in his niche at $10,000 a crack. And with another one on the way. This is what we mean by ‘Speed To Market’!
Since I know that the Information Age has probably left you jaded, doubtful and even cynical, this is one of the reasons why we have moved the ‘free line’ greater than any other company–to earn your trust. My personal goal as a former educator is to showcase the power of having a company teach you how to become the Thought Leader and ensure your success with this business writing author program.
Let me ask you this. Who would you rather have working with you? A person who has made it in business, but who is NOT a teacher by training. Or a person who has set two internet records in business and is ALSO a teacher by passion and profession who has taught people like Joel Comm and Coach Ken Carter from the blockbuster hit movie Coach Carter starring Samuel L. Jackson?
NOTE: It’s one array of skill sets to know how to build a business rapidly. It is an entirely different series of skill sets to teach this. In other words, these are two mutually exclusive home business skills to develop.
This is why entrepreneurs and business people come to us from all over the world because they recognize the necessity of being the Thought Leader. By definition, a thought leader knows how to teach. And this teaching is best portrayed in a book created inside of a business writing program that provides publishing house contracts for one’s clients.
Speed To Market Principle: Your ability to teach specific attitudes, skills and knowledge is the answer to creating the most expensive programs in your niche.
Are you ready to complete an exercise to awaken the power of you self reflection?
I want you to complete this fun exercise this weekend and then email me with your results on Monday.
You will need to keep a pad of paper on you. An index card will do just fine as well. Okay, here is what I want you to do. I want you to record all the times over the weekend that you make a recommendation to someone.
Now to get you thinking here are some of the areas I want you to preprogram your subconscious to consider…
1. Health/Fitness/Sports
2. Entertainment/Restaurants
3. Articles in Newspapers/Books that you are reading. (Like Author And Grow Rich of course!)
4. Personal/Professional Development
5. Parent/Child discussions.
6. Politics/Philosophy/Theology
7. House Hold Items
8. Travel/Vacation
9. Your area of Passion.
10. Other—This could include recommending Basic Authoring For Business Profit from http://AwakenTheAuthorWithin.com or http://BooksMeanCredibility.com, a good conversation with a friend and recommendations that you make that don’t fit the nine areas listed above et cetera.
If you can do this exercise three times during your Friday, Saturday and Sunday that would provide you the best results.
Your Homework:
The skinny version of your homework involves recording the 10 areas that I have stated above and listing them on an index card. Record on your index card the three or four specific times you are going to spend each day for a few minutes to analyze how many recommendations you have made in the previous part of the day. Simply put a tick by each.
The full version of your homework involves you listing out every recommendation that you made during the weekend. So if you make a choice of a restaurant, movie, sporting event, political statement, type of cereal, gas station to fill up at et cetera, you will write this down under the appropriate category.
Now here is how I want you to self reflect on the data that you accumulate:
1. On Sunday night I want you to tally up the total number of recommendations that you made over the weekend. I then want you to analyze the area(s) where you made the most recommendations.
2. Next, I want you to analyze your recommendations around whether your recommendations were tangible or intangible. Tangible recommendations would represent something that can be touched or physically seen such as restaurants, articles of clothing, types of dessert et cetera.
Intangible recommendations represent something that cannot be touched or physically seen such as a political statement, a theological belief or beliefs about parenting et cetera.
3. Now calculate the ratio of tangible to intangible recommendations.
4. Now calculate how many of these recommendations actually put money in your pocket.
5. Compare the ratio of recommendations that did NOT put money in your pocket versus the number of recommendations that DID put money in your pocket.
6. Finally, record your observations on paper. Don’t forget to record your observations as a blog post on the Author And Grow Rich blog either Sunday evening or on Monday.
The importance of this exercise is three fold.
First, I want you to get comfortable reflecting on your life. Too few people do this and this is where your mastery lies as you fast write your book and simultaneously create the most expensive programs in your niche—It lies in your ability to self reflect.
Speed To Market Principle: He/she who self reflects the greatest controls markets today.
Secondly, I want you to realize all the times you are selling an idea, a concept or something tangible and yet you are not financially rewarded for this.
Thirdly, I want you to realize what comes naturally to you in the area of recommendation selling.
Speed To Market Principle: By definition, recommendation selling is the only type of selling that works in the Recommendation Age. Recommendation selling is what comes so naturally to you that you and your ideal clients do NOT feel it as selling.
Now you can watch these two women live as they take their passion/expertise to a market place that desires a long term relationship with them…and only them…forever!
You can watch these two women develop these crucial skills sets on the Internet’s first live coaching program. It’s actually a first in the coaching business arena too!
Each week.
Watch them both take an idea and transform it into a powerful recommendation.
Watch them both write their book fast.
Watch them both establish the most expensive programs in their niche markets.
Watch them both get their first speaking engagements.
Follow their progress as they video blog their progress on this blog.
Watch them both use the same home business skills that I used to set two Internet records four and a half years ago.
Go to http://BooksMeanCredibility.com and follow their progress right now.
Now here is what you must do to get started.
Speed To Market Principle: Public accountability is the greatest form of accountability.
Let me ask you this questions: Who are you accountable to?
Here is a certain recipe for disaster: thinking that you can build your own business writing project and simultaneously build the necessary home business skills to create and sell and the most expensive programs in your niche.
Prove that you are ready to step up to the plate with your legacy. Don’t forget to complete your homework and post your results on this blog.
To Your Legacy!
