Flexibility is The Key

Endurance has to be consistent with flexibility. A balance is crucial – it’s important to know the difference between perseverance and stubbornness.

Be ready to adjust if necessary – of course, you have to be able to identify when adjustments need to be made. Be fair and open to yourself; it includes listening to other people’s feedback.

The key is to listen to your inner voice and outside counsel, while being willing to adjust along the way.

Setbacks and failures teach us what does not work, so we can focus on a new solution that will. The secret of finding new solutions is to look for them. Be flexible when working towards your end goal.

The real achievement comes from moving forward towards one’s dreams and being flexible.

It’s critical to have the mind-set that you are working toward progress, not perfection.  Keep always in mind your end goal by having a beginning and an end goal; what happens in between simply does not matter as long as you keep moving towards your end goal.

Listen to feedback with an open mind. Stay focused on your outcome, but be willing to adjust if needed.

The Number 1 Reason People Don't Achieve Their Goals

Quitting represents the main cause of failure.

Besides the inability to get along with other people, as discussed in our previous post, quitting is the main reason why people generally do not achieve their objectives and goals.

Always remember:

Quitters never win, and winners never quit. This philosophy is as simple and true as it gets, it applies to your own personal life and applies to your business life.

Success is not measured by how easy it is to get there but rather by how persistent you are in reaching your objectives, reaching your goals.

You are unlikely to act on the urge to quit in the face of challenges if you have a clear goal in mind which you know at heart it’s the right goal for you and the people around you.

When you feel like giving up, focus on the outcome rather than the struggle, and push yourself to keep going, no matter how difficult this may seem.

Successful people usually have a clear goal in mind, face the challenges, persist and never quit.

You will reap the rewards when you have the courage and stickability to see your vision through.

The Secret to Selling Anything

In total their are three steps to selling anything. 

  1. Traffic: Get people to see and hear what you are doing without raising their defenses.
  2. Conversion:  Convince the person that what you have is going to solve their problem.
  3. Economics: Give them something of value and get their money.

These three components shape the Power Triangle that governs everything that happens within sales and marketing.

Before selling anything you MUST answer these four questions to see if it viable:

  1. Who would buy this? (Traffic)
  2. What can we say to persuade them to buy? (Conversion)
  3. Can you reach them affordably? (Economics)
  4. Can they give you money? (Economics)

What you have to realize is as a marketer you always have to think backwards. Don't focus on what you're interested in, focus on what you're potential buyer is interested in, what do they do.

If you have the power triangle in mind when doing anything marketing and sales related, you will be more inclined to succeed.
