"Coach Jim"
TAKE
TIME TO GROW!
by
Dr. Jim Vuocolo
Back in March I attended Mark Victor Hansen's
"Mega- Marketing Magic" conference in
Los Angeles, California (click
here to view pics!). It was a
tremendous event with a wide variety of
marketing experts that both thrilled and
challenged me at the same time. I was
intrigued to learn so much more in terms of
marketing techniques, tips, and formulas --
while at the same time challenged by how much I
have yet to learn in an ever growing and
changing field of endeavor. From Wally Amos
(founder of famous Amos cookies) and Robert
Allen to Jay Abraham and Joe Sugarman -- just to
name a few -- it was a fantastic experience that
I highly recommend!
After leaving
the conference and driving home, it dawned on me
just how important it is for a "solopreneur"
to take time out for continuing education and
networking with others on a regular basis. Here
are 12 reasons why - direct from my notes when Jay
Abraham spoke - Enjoy! - Jim
12 PILLARS OF
STRATEGIC BUSINESS GROWTH
by Jay Abraham
1. Continuously identify and discover hidden
assets and
overlooked
opportunities. (Travel outside your
industry)
2. Mine cash windfalls in your business each
and every month.
(Discretionary money
that lets you test things)
3. Engineer success in to every action you
take or decision
you make.
4. Build your business on multiple profit
sources instead of
depending on a single
revenue generating source.
5. Be different, special and advantageous in
the eyes of your
customers and
clients.
6. Create real value for your clients and
employees for maximum
loyalty and results (as
defined by them!).
7. Gain the maximum personal leverage from
every action,
investment, time or
energy commitment you make.
8. Network, mastermind and brainstorm with
like-minded,
success driven people
who share a real-life experiences and
shortcuts with
you. (You need to plug into other
people)
9. Turn yourself into an idea generator and
recognized innovator
within your industry,
field, or market.
10. Make "growth thinking" in
natural part of your everyday
business
philosophy.
11. Reverse the risk for both you and your
clients in everything
you do so the
down side is almost 0, and the up side is
potentially near
infinite.
12. Use small, safe tests to eliminate
dangerous risks and adopt
funnel-vision
instead of tunnel-vision into your
thinking. The
market response
is the only responds the truly matters.
