Independence Day

Everybody has their own definition of freedom. For many it means doing whatever you want whenever you want.

For others it is more specific – it means independence from having to create current income – independence from work.

That could be a tall order. Most of us have to work at one thing or another our whole lives and it’s only a question of what we’re going to work at.

This is a crucial question, because whether you love your work or not determines whether your life is one of freedom or something much darker.

Watch this video and leave your comments on the blog.  I want to hear what you think…

The Danger of Doing Nothing…

Last week I ran a business-building workshop for 14 consultants and coaches to help them grow their businesses to high-six and low-seven figures..

On the second day during a break, one of the attendees pulled me out on the terrace. He wanted to ask a really important question.

“Which strategy should I run next to guarantee new clients quickly?”

Naively, I fell right into his trap…

“Tell me about how your marketing system works now,” I asked.

“I don’t have a system,” he responded, a little too quickly.

“Okay, so what kinds of things have you been doing to bring in business?”

“I’m not doing anything. I was waiting for your workshop.”

(You can see where this is going, can’t you?)

“How long have you been waiting…?”

“It’s been about four months. I launched my practice with a few referrals, but now I really need new clients…”

Since January…

Doing nothing…

Waiting four months…

Do you know the right answer to this guy’s question?

If you’ve been reading my posts or watching my videos, you know I’m a big fan of DOING ANYTHING.

Yes, that’s right.  That’s the answer: DO ANYTHING.

It doesn’t really matter what you do, as long as you are always doing something to promote your services, your products, your ideas… 

You see, you have no way of knowing what’s really going to work.

So instead of trying to figure out the perfect strategy, your best bet is simply to take some kind of action.

Do something and see what happens. If you get good results, keep doing it. If you don’t get the results you want, fix what you’re doing or do something else. No matter what, keep doing something.

Of course, there are things that generally work well, and you should be doing those.  But really, who knows?

The best course of action, the most powerful one, is to layer all the various strategies available one on top of the other in a synergistic model. That’s the strategic system I teach.

But in lieu of knowing all those things, you just have to do anything.

Because the outcome of doing nothing is predictable.

By the way…

Can you guess how many new clients that guy enrolled before my workshop?

Yeah… That’s right…

My advice?

Get busy!

To your outrageous success,

Paul

P.S. What are you going to do today to create new business opportunities?

Replace Yourself

What’s the one truly scarce resource in your business?

What’s the one thing…

Totally irreplaceable…

That no matter what you do you can’t get more of?

You, of course.

And you knew that already…

You didn’t need some business guru to tell you.

But what you may need to know is what to do about it.

You might have figured this out already and forgotten.  Or you may have thought you figured it out but still aren’t getting the results you want.

Watch the video. It’s under five minutes….

And if you have something to share, put your comments below.  Okay?

Support Your Life…

 

My father spent a large part of his life working to pay the bills.

A lot of people do that. They live as if the whole purpose of their lives is to support their business.

What if it was the other way around?

What if you deliberately designed your business to support your life?

That’s more like it, isn’t it…

 

 

Watch this video to get started…

Strategic Planning for Purpose and Passion

Some people think of this as the holiday season…

Others also think of it as the “planning season.” The time of year when you start to figure out how you’d like the next year to go…

What you’re going to achieve…

What programs and practices you’re going to kick off…

If this sounds like fun to you, I’d like to offer a little spin in keeping with this very important idea:

Make sure that all – or at any rate, most – of your precious time should be spent in service of things which light up your life.

If you plan from that perspective, no matter what you chose to do, things could turn out…

Simply amazing.

So watch the video. It’s a short 4’53”…
