The “Seven Points to Success in Business” are:
- Foundation: Setting the proper foundation for your business is one of the first things you must do. This section will discuss the what, how, why and when to get your foundation laid down solidly as the basis for a continually growing business.
- Purpose: It may sound simple, but you must decide what your business is about before trying to get things set up. This section will help you determine what the purpose is for your business so you don’t look like a clown trying to balance too many twirling plates on sticks!
- Attitude: This may seem like an odd topic to discuss under “Business” principles but it is a key foundational item. If you have a defeatist attitude, are not able to work through “failure” or not achieving the results you expected, you should think twice about starting your own business. This section will discuss the principles of your work plan and ability to perservere.
- Marketing: No matter what kind of sales business you are in, marketing must be your focus for the long haul and the center of your daily activities. Most other aspects of business may be automated but marketing, advertising and the analysis that goes with it is the key to long-term success in every business. This section will discuss the different aspects of marketing and give you key points to measure your success.
- The Sales Process: Understanding and developing your unique sales process is crucial to your financial success. Many folks just start out blasting out an email with their sales page on it thinking they will be rich when they wake up in the morning. As you might expect, the real world in sales is a bit different but can be designed to be just as predictable as far as knowing the results you will get for certain actions. Setting up a good sales process will help you reap maximum profits for the marketing work you put in.
- Cash Flow: Understanding cash flow and its effects on your business decisions is very important. Most people fail to understand what cash flow is all about. “Cash Flow” involves understanding the income and expenses of your business, their relationship over time and how they add together to give you either a profit or loss at every point in your sales process. What does that mean? That’s what I’ll discuss in this section later!
- The Action Principle: Stephen Covey wrote, “Do first things first” in his book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People®. Great advice but what does it mean? Well, the basis of it is “taking action” i.e. doing something. “Doing” the first things first means you must have a plan. More details are in my discussion of “The Action Principle” below. It will explode your business beyond your wildest imagination.
