What are 4 most important ingredients in the formula of your business? 1-Find 2-Connect & Close 3-Keep 4-Grow If you are new as an Entrepreneur or if this year is your ground zero year, you must focus on step one in the process more than any other step. Most entrepreneurs ‘worry’ about step four without going through steps 1 & 2. worry will drain your enthusiasm and energy. To be productive, you must understand that staying in steps 1 and 2 will prepare you for success in steps 3 & 4 more naturally and organically. Are you prepared to create momentum in 2007? To create momentum you must think differently. “Momentum repellers” or “Plateau creators” are the ingredients that repel or get in the way of momentum and create the following: -Overestimation of the event or the opportuntunity -Underestimation of the process -Underestimation of their role in the process -Criticize their Role and therefore beat up their Soul in the process If you want to create momentum this year then,you must learn to think differently. Pay attention in 2007 to the following points: It is the small changes at the bottom of the snow covered mountain; it is those shifts we can’t even see, that create an avalanche. Most people go after spectular success and seldom ever not notice the small successes along the way. If you don’t celebrate and be grateful for the small changes along the way, it will be difficult to create momentum or the glorious success you may be seeking. Also, don’t be worry about excuses! A lot of people ‘worry’ about demolishing their excuses, while spending all their energy and focus on destroying the excuses, they continue aimlessly on the journey of “getting ready to get ready”. Instead turn up the heat in 2007. This increase in “heat’ will automatically ‘destroy’ the excuses or the ‘germs’ in your formula. What do I mean by turning up the heat? Increase passion, purpose, inspiration, and cultivate your “desire” to become a “burning desire”. No longer complain about not being ambitious enough. Instead, add to your passion and your ambition will automatically increase. Have you ever had your own home based business? Are you in Network Marketing or Direct Sales?
