Conscious Millionaire

Do YOU want to make MIllion-Dollar Impressions?

Then you need to focus on both first time and
every time impressions. READ ON...

First impressions are a one time event. People
immediately make decisions about you and these
decisions will impact whether they want to buy
from you.

I know, most people getting this email will say
but I'm not a sales person. Think again. You are
always selling. We all are.

We are selling ourselves and how you come across
will determine how people think and feel about you.

Here are three things you can do - not just on the
first impression, but on every impression, to create
a million-dollar impression on others.

1. how you dress matters, even going to the store.
People make decisions about you by how you
present yourself. Is your hair combed? Are your
clothes neat and clean? Did you take the time to
present yourself as a winner?

2. Take interest in them. Ask them questions
about their life, their business, their day. Then
listen and pay attention. People rate others more
positive when they care about them. Don't you?

3. Have a firm yet warm handshake. Think about
what someone touching you in a handshake tells
you about them. Others think the same way as
you. How do you like your hand shaken? Others
are probably seeking the same thing.

You are always selling YOU. And, if you want
to achieve millionaire success, remember that
people do business with people they like.

How you come across will have a great deal to
do with whether they like you - and want to do
business with you.

Welcome Business Owners:

Whether you own a business now or want to start one, here are three secrets for managing your business:

1. Always hire people who are aligned with your values and the vision that you have for the difference your business will make

2. Focus on your customer – this is the most important factor in becoming successful

3. Next, take care of your employees – without them you won’t make your profits.

4. Keep your eye on the finances – create a quick set of #s that you look at every day, these are the ones that tell you the vitality of your business (for example: # of sales closes, # of new contacts, revenue/profit for the day)

5. Establish high expectations and goals for your company, yourself, and your employees – involve your employees in creating these expectations so that they buy in and own them as their responsibility
Here is to Your Success!

One of the least looked at but most important ways for small business owners to make their millions is NOT by building the business - but through selling it during a high growth phase.

I made far more money by cashing in and selling our family's companies than from the year to year running of them. And, it positions you in a cash position to act on new opportunities, ones that leverage you to new financial heights.

Here it is in simple terms. You sell your business for some multiple of your current annual cash flows. If you have considerable land and hard assets, that can add to the equation. In my case, I kept the land, leased it to the buyers, then when it appreciated further, sold it to cash in even bigger.

When you start looking at your business as an asset that you are building not to continue owning, but to sell, you approach your business completely differently. You start to care about what matters in terms of maximizing your selling price. These are your customer lists, the speed with which you are growing your cash flows, the untapped, or only partially tapped opportunities (which you may not be in the position to tap - but which a buyer, with other resources, may be and will give them reasons to pay you even MORE for your business!).

You also can benefit when selling the business by getting more for your companies (because you are conscious that they exist and bargain for part of the savings they buyer will get) for the savings the buyer will have in terms of synergies and leverage due to size. These include purchasing power to buy supplies and services for less than you are having to pay as a smaller business.

Greetings!

There are three levels to YOUR success:

1. Internal—any success that occurs inside of you—such as feeling happier or more fulfilled, having a sense of connection to your core being, and intuitively knowing when and what to do.

2. External—any success that occurs outside of you—such as money and the things it can buy, promotions, awards, and external accomplishments.

3. Relational—any success that occurs between you and anything external to you—such as relationships with people, animals, our planet.

All three dimensions are interrelated. Therefore, increasing your success in one dimension of your life positively affects all of the others.

For instance, if you increase your physical fitness or have more harmonious relationships, you’ll naturally have more positive energy to achieve more in business and make more money.

Having strong financial success frees your energy from worries about paying for life, so you have more energy to just enjoy it!

Greetings!

The irony is that when we pursue money at any cost, we make a series of sacrifices. One of these sacrifices can actually include making less money, not more.

Why?

When the only basis for our decisions is short-term financial gain, we often throw out our values and lose a sense of what matters most in life.

Instead of living with a sense of purpose and doing what we love, we focus on greed at the price of becoming out of sync with who we are, deep down inside.

Many people confuse greed with the amount of money one makes. The fact is someone could make 50 million a year and not be greedy, while someone else could make 50 thousand and be acting with greed.

The reason is simple.

Greed has nothing to do with the amount of money you make—it only relates to how you make it. Greed occurs whenever you make money in ways that are not in the overall best interests of yourself, others, and the world.

Getting Rich doesn’t make you “greedy” – Greed is acting against the best interest of yourself, others and the world. It has nothing to do with whether you become rich. The issue, my friend, is HOW you make your money, not how financially wealthy you become.

The Formula for Total Success is the ultimate formula for creating any type of success – personal, financial, or in your relationships.

Whether you want to create millionaire success, lose weight, become happier, build a better relationship, or make your difference in the world, this formula will help you achieve it!

You can use this formula to create any time or level of success or wealth that you want.

Here is the foundation of the three part formula:

1. AWARENESS of what is true – for you, others, the world. What are the facts, what is occurring, right here, right now?

2. INSIGHTS into the opportunities that exist for you, others, and the world. The more you connect the dots and see what is occurring, the easier it is to notice the real opportunities.

3. REPSPONSIBILITY for turning opportunity into results that help you, others and the world. Responsibility is twofold – sometimes you just need to “be” with a situation and consider matters longer. At other times, now is when you should take action.

You can apply the Formula for Total Success to achieve success in your business, finances, personal and relationship life starting today. It all starts with choosing becoming consciously aware.

Recently I've had a number of business owners ask me my views on the economy and what I think business owners need to be doing now.

I believe we are just seeing the previews of coming attractions that are likely to get much worse than any of us have scene in prior recessions. What does this mean for us as business owners?

1. Now is the time to invest in your future by NOT pulling back and going into fear. You have to move into high gear and show customers what you have to offer that is both different from your competitors and is exactly what they need.

2. Now is the time to manage your emotions and motivate yourself daily by staying in a positive state so that you can notice all of the actual opportunities that this recession will bring to you and your business.

3. Now is the time to look for practical opportunities. Ask yourself what your customers will need and want as the economy worsens. Then ask yourself how you can deliver it to them in ways that will both get them coming back for more and have them sending you referrals. Innovation is simply finding creative ways to address problems. Innovate your products and services so that they meet the needs of a changing financial climate.

Now is the time to win and win big in new ways. Think about this from your customer's perspective - give them what they need and you'll be one of the businesses that thrive in hard times.

Here's to Your Success!

I've spoken with a number of people who are having a tougher time of it lately. If YOU are wanting to increase your profits, here is a quick sure-fire way to drop money to your bottom line. It's honest, ethical and based on the principal of adding constant value to your client or customer.

Many people have businesses in which they have a large amount of volume - this is true of any restaurant, most retail establishments, many product sales - and if you are in a business where you have a large number of transactions, here is an easy way to increase your bottom line by adding value to your clients.

Let's imagine you have several hundred transactions a day - many small businesses have a 1,000 or more actually. Think about the small retail establishment or restaurant, fast food type franchise and the like. Even if you only have a 100 or more transactions, what would it be worth to your bottom line to get a single $1 more added to each transaction.

Instead of seeing this as the classic up sell - what would happen if you say it as the "up value" your client strategy. If you could find a simple item or service that you could add to every transaction that added just $1 of revenue (not to mention, $2, $3, $4, $5 to every transaction), what would that do to your revenues and bottom line in 30 days - a single month? OR 365 days, a full year?

$ Thousands,
$$ Tens of Thousands, for some people a
$$$ Hundred Thousand to a Quarter of a Million in a year or more!

Right now, make a list of ways you could add $1 to $5 in extra value to every client transaction then choose one and start adding it THIS WEEK!

Today I was working on my own marketing plan and was thinking about the most valuable marketing tool on this earth. That tool is referrals. Why? Simple - who gives you most referrals? Satisfied Customers! The ones who are your true fans - OR - people who know you and believe in what you are doing, Again, your true fans.

What you MUST do if you want to maximize your success is focus everything that you do on creating raving fans. What I am saying isn't go out and try to manipulate a lot of people or hook wink them with a lot of puff. No - you need to build a rock solid customer pleasing business delivery system. You must provide your customer with such an amazing experience that not only will they never want to leave, they will naturally want to bring their friends and associates to do business with you - because they want them to have the same high quality experiences that they are continually having by being your customer.

This is the most important focus you can have in your business - your customer - then ask them for their refferals. And, when you get them, make certain to show them in a direct and concrete way how much you appreciate it. Send them a Thank YOU note. Give them a GIFT. Make certain that THEY KNOW how SPECIAL it is to you that they send their friends and associates to you.

I was just at Book Expo in Los Angeles last week. It was endless meetings with PR people and other authors. It took up the entire LA Convention Center.

There was an air of excitement everywhere. This is life at it's best. I met so many people who have a strong message they want to share with the world. To me, this is the same as a Business Owner or a Professional who is "on path" with their life.

Success all starts with YOU! The most successful, wealthiest, and happiest people I know are all living an inner passion for making a difference. The wealth they make goes beyond the money. It extends to their clients and customers. A connection runs from inside of them to the people they serve.

They begin by discovering some massive difference they want to make in the world, then they build a business that does that. What is the difference that you want to make? What is that burning desire that you have inside.

It ALL Starts with YOU - that desire that makes you unstoppable.

Why?

Because you have this feeling that the world will be different, that your client's lives and businesses will be better because they do business with you.

When you come from this place, it's not about manipulating, it's about serving. This, my friend, is what commerce is all about in the 21st Century. It's also what is at the core of every happy life. You are doing something that starts with a desire inside of you - and connects with others in a way that makes a difference to them.

It all starts with YOU - reaching out to make your difference. This is at the core of every Conscious Millionaire!

Have a great week, my friend.

Best,

Loving your customers is the real KEY to long term success. You can't care about their well being, success, needs too much. When was the last time you stopped doing business with someone who was deeply satisfying your needs? Never!

Whether a business is big or small, successful business people love their customers. They make them their 24/7 focus! The quality of a business owner, sales person, professional, employee is easy to see - the quality ones care, and care naturally, about the welfare of those they serve.

To succeed at your highest, LOVING YOUR CUSTOMER must be YOUR TOP PRIORITY!

Here are the 3 top Keys to being more productive - like all of the strategies I teach, these are easy to apply - you just have to be aware of them and then use them.

1. Every Day know your Top 3 Priorities - in that order - 1, 2, 3, and organize your day so that these are your focal point.

2. Get rid of all the time wasters in your life - right now make a list of all the ways you waste time from doing your errands at different times to ways you keep yourself from getting started more quickly to those extra conversations around that eat up your time. Make the list now.

3. Lean to say NO! Anything that isn't one of your top 3 Priorities or doesn't absolutely have to be done is a distraction. SAY NO TO ALL DISTRACTIONS.

You are the one in CONTROL - always remember that and choose your day accordingly.

To Your Success!

The only way to really evaluate your actions - or for that matter, anyone's - is to first know what your goal is. This, of course, brings up a bigger issue. Most people have no specific goal in mind most of the time and therefore their actions have no specific purpose. If they don't have a specific purpose, then how could you evaluate whether they were worth the time and energy you put into doing them?

Here is my point - if you want to know if your actions are the right ones there is only one way to know. It starts with knowing what your outcome, or goal, was in doing them. I would estimate that 80% or more of many people's actions are done without a specific goal in mind. That is, they might as well have been random.

Can you really afford for your actions to not be strategic in nature - to be tied to specific goals - if you want to achieve at your highest levels?

OF COURSE NOT!

How to remedy quickly....

Set up every day with a clear set of goals - ONE MAJOR GOAL, up to 3 MINOR GOALS - and then only take actions that relate to these GOALS.

There is ALWAYS ONE GOAL that is the most important for you each day - and if you think there are actually 3, 4, 5, 10 goals that are equally important, then I ask you to reconsider your priorities - that is, get clear at the beginning of your day what your real priorities are.

THEN FOCUS YOUR DAY WITH ACTIONS THAT SUPPORT YOUR ONE MAJOR AND UP TO THREE MINOR GOALS FOR THAT DAY. If you get other things done - great - but make sure those actions support Goals that really matter instead of being that "busy work" stuff that ROBS you of your real success in any day!

To Your Success!

A large number of the millions of small businesses in this country are family companies. That is how I started out. Farther and son or daughter, brothers or sisters, Mother and daughter or son, husband and wife, partners - and what do they all have in common?

Well, I didn't have to get the Masters in Psychology to figure this one out - about one week in business with my dad and I was already experiencing it. Here it is - you can not completely separate out your family issues from your business issues. They are always there - even if you agree that your role with one another when doing business is different from your role with one another from a family perspective, the family role is always there as part of the business.

So what is the solution - actually the real solution is to be conscious that this is occurring. To stay aware, be present with tension or business role interference from family issues. Clear any family matters at home or outside of the office - then when you are in the office stay focused on business interactions. Most of all, the solution comes down to staying aware that the family dynamics are there along side the business ones - and when you need to clear a family matter, do it - then get back to business.

I do coaching about family matters – if you or anyone you knows who is in a family business and you want to grow the business while honoring your family needs, I’ll be glad to discuss how I can help you accomplish both.

The quickest and most sure fire way to avoid failure is to provide a quality product that meets a current customer need – do this, and you are twice as likely to get initial success. Who doesn't want a product or service that meets their need and is delivered with excellent customer service?

How do you know if the product or service meets a need - I suggest that you take the time upfront to see what existing companies in your market are providing. You can spend an afternoon on the internet looking at sites for your type of business and go a long way to having the ideas for products and services that will make you a winner!

This formula I’m going to sell is so simple yet powerful that it can literally change the way you look at your business – your business model. In building your business, you must decide which two of the following three are going to be your focus:

Quality
Price
Service

My Strategy with every business I've built is quality and service. I do that because it meets my own values and represents who I am. It's also what I seek when I buy. Now, this easy formula is critical to understand. You can ONLY Choose 2 of the 3. If you choose quality and service, you can NOT be the low cost provider - that just won't work.

Choose the two that sincerely represent your values and the match your values with a target market who shares them - they will love you and come back for more.

Week 7 "Business Coaching" Category
Topic: GET ORGANIZED FOR SUCCESS

Do you find yourself running your business in a way that leaves you constantly putting out fires? Well, if you want to have greater Business Success, then one of your top priorities should be having a well organized business and personal agenda. Here is the Business Coaching for this week.

Organization involves several factors, such as knowing what is most important, having clear goals for your week and day, and having your day well scheduled when you start the day. But, it involves more – it also includes a commitment to realizing the VALUE of every moment, your energy, your resources – and that includes everyone who may work with your company.

The truth is you can’t afford the COST of being disorganized – you aren’t as productive, that is you get less done in more time, you don’t reach your goals, and it creates stress on you (including your health) and all of those around you. Business Coaching – become organized – know the 20% that is most important, create your schedule for today before you leave your office yesterday, stay focused on the outcomes that matter first and make them your priorities.

I look forward to reading Your comments...

Week 6 "Business Coaching" Category
Topic: WIN-WIN BUSINESS

In the 20th Century, Greed and a Win-Loose atmosphere on Creating Wealth and Business Success (or at least, get everything I can in the deal) was pervasive. I remember when I went through my own shift out of this view on what Business Success and Creating Wealth is really all about – it was 1994 and I was in the middle of getting my MBA

I realized that this Win-Loose viewpoint on Creating Wealth and Business Success was founded on 2 incorrect assumptions: (1) there are only 100 cents in a dollar (more on that in a moment), and (2) that I could actually win long term when others lost (not true).

Think about that - will being dishonest and scamming people (a common marketing view, even today) somehow create long term Business Success or be the foundation for Creating Wealth at the highest levels? It isn't (do you do business with people who scam or lie to you – at least after you figure it out? No way!)

Ok – so I realized that Win-Win is THE path to Business Success and Creating Wealth. Only with both people win is the deal ever right. So, what about that comment about 100 cents in a Dollar? The Tech Revolution in the 90’s proved that this isn’t true – What am I getting at?

Synergy – which is another way to say the real value that comes form Partnering and Collaborating (this IS the real path for High Level Business Success, for Creating Wealth at Multi-Millionaire levels in the 21st Century).

The Truth is there are more than 100 cents in a dollar – if the cents (people) collaborate and create synergy – the pennies multiply – this is how Creating Wealth works in the 21st Century – and is an important part of the Conscious Millionaire System for Creating Wealth!

Now, this really is about your Millionaire Mindset – it’s about how YOU choose to see Reality. Do you only see the 100 pennies that most people think are in a dollar – or do you see the Expanded Opportunities that Partnering with Others.

When you look for ways that BOTH of You to WIN – and WIN BIG – you see new possibilities, ways to get more out of the same resources.

100 Pennies is what you’ve been conditioned to believe is there, and nothing more – of course, we were also told in the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s (and many people still believe) that for you to win someone has to loose.

But now, more and more people are beginning to realize that When YOU AND OTHERS WIN – We all WIN BIGGER.

Week 5 "Business Coaching" Category
Topic: BUSINESS SUCCESS – MILLIONAIRE SYSTEM

I started in business at the age of 23. I had never had a business course (I only received an MBA after making a couple of million) and through trail and error, successes and failures, rapidly figured out how to become a successful entrepreneur. (hint – the faster you take risks, success, fail and learn from it, find - the faster your can become a millionaire - but seek out information, mentoring, guidance while your doing this - from many sources). Get good Business Coaching.

As I didn’t have a millionaire mentor – or anyone to guide me – I just kept tinkering with what became a rock-solid system. Now I mentor small business owners who either are millionaires and want to go to their next level or have the goal of becoming a millionaire in the next 3-7 years (honestly, if you are driven, you shouldn’t have a goal of it taking longer). For info See http://www.conscious-millioniare-blog.com/platinum.html

Ask yourself how quickly you want to become a millionaire – and Why is this so important to you? How will you use the money – for yourself, to help others, to build financial independence?

My Conscious Millionaire Coaching this week provides you with a Millionaire Action Step that helps you to design your “Millionaire Success System” – just go to The Conscious Millionaire Podcast, at my blog for June 26, 2006 and take a listen. Enjoy!

Week 4 "Business Coaching" Category
Topic: HONEST RELATIONSHIPS

How do you feel when you are doing business with someone and they don’t keep their word – when they were selling you they didn’t tell you the truth or you find you can’t depend on their word. They “don’t walk their talk” as the saying goes. Here is your Business Coaching for this week...

Angry, deceived, disappointed, betrayed?

I bet you don’t feel like doing business with them again. And that means all the time and money they spent getting the first sales with you is lost – all because they didn’t build an honest trust worthy relationship with you.

I’ve found – in business and in all areas of life – the fastest way to build long term success, get repeat business, is to ALWAYS BE HONEST. Even if you find you can’t deliver what you sold – on time or at the level you sold it – go speak with your client, be honest and upfront, offer them options, get their input.

If YOU want MILLIONAIRE SUCCESS - Honesty is the FAST TRACK to building wealth for the long term.

Week 3 "Business Coaching" Category
Topic: BUSINESS SUCCESS – BUSINESS STRATEGY

Without success strategies, you can’t build consistent business success – it simply isn’t possible. So what are the ingredients of a well designed small business strategy?

1. Start with the end result in mind – what do you want to achieve?
2. Keep it simple – I suggest 1-3 steps, so you can easily use it and teach it to others (duplicate your success)
3. Make each step a specific action

Here is a Business Coaching “Strategy for Taking Action” to use as an example:

1. Remember a specific time in which you were highly motivated – see, hear, feel what was occurring in the time – fully associating to it (borrow energy)
2. Think of a first step that you could do achieve your outcome
3. Take that first step plus two more to start a momentum

Now, create your own strategy – I’d enjoy hearing about it in the comments!

Week 2 "Business Coaching" Category
Topic: YOUR VISION FOR BUSINESS SUCCESS

One of the most important Secrets of Business Success is to have a Clear Vision of what YOU want to create.

When I think of Vision, I think of more than a picture, I think of a large-scale statement of the Difference YOU want to make, in your industry, to your clients, to the world.

What will be different because you fully realize Your Vision? Different for YOU and Different for OTHERS? Here is Your Business Coaching for this week...

Based on my own experiences as a Successful Entrepreneur, I know how important it is for YOU as an entrepreneur to connect with Your Vision on a gut level. To reach Your highest Financial Goals, Your vision must be visceral - you need to feel it throughout your body.

And, if you don't connect with it - how strong of a drive will You have to turn Your vision into a High-Growth Business?

It has to get you and hold you - Your Vision needs to both pull and compel you to move forward!

If you are going to reach your highest levels of success, if you are really going to achieve more through personal growth and wealth mastery – I mean Personally & Financially; if you are going to attract the best talent;, if you are going to build a STAR TEAM, then…

YOU MUST first have a clear vision, one that you feel Passionate about.

Then You Must be able to communicate it to your customers (and your team) in a way that they both understand and feel pulled into, drawn to, emotionally involved in so that they want to become a part of Your Vision!

The Vision is Your Starting Place, whether your goal is to make $100,000 a year, Become a Millionaire or build an Empire. It all starts with becoming Conscious of a Vision that will COMPEL YOU AND THE PEOPLE WHO JOIN WITH YOU – FORWARD!

What is Your Vision – what Difference do YOU want to Make?

Hello and Welcome to the Conscious Millionaire Blog. www.consciousmillionaireblog.com

Week 1 "Business Coaching" Category
Topic: CREATING BUSINESS SUCCESS: A NEW VISION

This is J V Crum, III, MBA, Founder of the Conscious Millionaire Institute, LLC. This Blog entry is the first in a series on How to Create Business Success.

The Conscious Millionaire Approach is a NEW VISION for how to Live & Create Wealth in the 21st Century.

It's an approach about creating wealth by living your own purpose and making your difference - actively creating the life, business and world in which you want to live.

It's about becoming more conscious, more aware, of who you are, what matters most to you, and how to create the success and wealth that you want.

DON'T YOU WANT IT ALL?

As a business owner, you are building something that is based on your own vision, your values, your goals - don't you want to get up in the morning totally passionate about what you are doing?

Don’t you want to feel like your making a difference to your customers? To the world?

I DO!!!

And, that is one of the reasons I founded the Conscious Millionaire Institute.

I wanted to create a way for people like you - people who want it ALL - and want to live YOUR PURPOSE - PASSIONATELY - to have a group of teachings, strategies, resources, trainings - to help you do just that!

I became a Self-Made Millionaire in my 20's and have over 27 years of experience building small businesses of my own, investing, and learning the real secrets of how to create financial success - and a life you will enjoy living!!!

As I journeyed in my life and business, I’ve learned that wealth is far more than the Money.

BUSINESS SUCCESS IN THE 21ST CENTURY - A NEW VISION....

Business Success in the 21st Century - Conscious Millionaire Business Success - is about living your values, your passions, your purpose, and making your difference.

I am writing these Blog Entries for people who want to create high levels of business success by living with a sense of purpose, doing something you are totally passionate about, making your mark - and difference - in the world!!!

TOPICS I WILL DISCUSS...

I will cover areas that will help you become a millionaire as asuccessful entrepreneur, build wealth as a woman owned business, become financially independent as a small business owner.

I’ll include personal growth and personal development because they are an important part of creating wealth and business success.

My approach will include business coaching and success coaching, and will apply to both existing and start up businesses, including your home based business.

And, if you want to explore areas such as wealth consciousness and law of attraction, if you are ready to be open to new possibilities – to your quantum potential, then this blog is also for you.

We will discuss buildng your team, values, leadership, partnering for building wealth, achieving more in less time throughbusiness systems, marketing, sales - what it takes to build a Millionaire Wealth Business.

The real power to leverage yourself for maximum results comes from niche marketing. Specialization is the order of the day, not generalization! Most people focus too broadly. Why? Simply put, they are afraid to put themselves on the line so they avoid taking a stand and it costs them, cumulative, MILLIONS!!!

Joe Wieder - you remember him - he was the power builder who created nutrition and weight loss programs. He made Millions by focusing on one niche then drilling down deeply!

YOU can do the same thing. Right now just ask yourself what is your real specialty. WHO can benefit from it? Why would they want to buy from YOU? That's your niche - create products and services that meet their NEEDS AND WANTS - then sell to them, and only them, over and over.

BECOME THE EXPERT who is that niches GO TO person. This is your real path to millions. Choose the thing you most understand, that which you feel called to do, your deepest passion, what I call your purpose - then drill down deeply and go for your millions by making a MEGA DIFFERENCE to a specific market group.

To Your Total Success,

Whether you are building a business, are a sales professional or want success in ANY area of your life, without a system for success you will have a hard time achieving your goal.

Truth is - you already have a system. Just you may not know it. However you go about your day and work toward a goal IS your system. However, if you aren't consciously aware of it, you don't have the opportunity to change it so that it is consiously designed to accomplish your goal.

So, your first real step is to become aware of what you are already doing.Second step - have the insights to know what is working, what isn't, and what could be improved, and how. Third step is taking responsibility to creating a system - which is a STEP BY STEP approach - that CONSISTENTLY ACHIEVES YOUR OUTCOME.

What systems do you have in your business for acuiring clients? What systems do you have for selling to them again? What systems do you have in place for delivering first class service so that they want to come back and refer their friends? What system do you have for getting referrals from them?

Systems are an essential key to millionaire wealth and success. Write down the steps in your customer acquisition system - then ask how can you improve this? What changes will make it more efficient and effective so that you achieve stellar results consistently?

To Your Total Success,
