Quote: "The biggest difference between an average income
and financial freedom is... IMPLEMENTATION." - Bill Glazer
I recently spent four long days and nights with information
marketing millionaires at the Information Marketing Summit
and was astonished to hear that many of them, when pressed
for THE secret of their recent 7-figure success, named ONE
and only one. Best of all, I was able to witness this theme
with most everyone I met, particularly the VERY successful
ones.
These entrepreneur millionaires have ONE secret in common:
IMPLEMENTING new ideas quickly. At first, it sounded so
simple that I didn't believe it fully. Could implementation
(getting things done) be so profound that those who've
REALLY succeeded named it as their number one KEY? Then I
started thinking about my own journey since attending this
same conference last year.
I realized that in my own experience, I'd actually
implemented a LOT of the ideas I'd gotten. I'd set up a new
lead generation tool on the ClientAttraction.com website
which converts on average of 36% of people who land on the
website; I'd created a new program in which more than a
hundred people now get value from talking to me twice a
month; I'd created my first successful 3-day workshop and
filled it to capacity in less than 6 weeks with people
attending from all around the country; And then
subsequently filled an elite coaching group to capacity out
of the workshop.
Wow, when looking back at the list, it seemed like a LOT.
But in the end, all I'd really done was systematically and
steadfastly implemented the new ideas I'd discovered.
Let me say that again: Systematically and Steadfastly.
Returning to the same conference a year later, I realized a
couple of things. There were several people who'd vowed
they'd attend the following one but weren't present this
time around. Had they given up? Had they not implemented
the thousands of info-rich ideas and therefore didn't see
it as fit to return for more?
This all got me thinking: What's keeping people from
implementing, anyway? After some thought, I believe people
get stopped from implementing new ideas for several reasons:
They don't organize the information they've received (it
all seems so overwhelming that it stays there in that
notebook and nothing gets done.) Have you been there too?
They don't have accountability systems in place (either a
coach, mastermind group or other people to call them on
their "stuff" when they're procrastinating and get them
into gear again.)
Their focus is spread thin over many different projects and
nothing ever really gets accomplished. It's time to focus
on ONE thing and one thing only, until achievement.
They don't set deadlines for completion, so the task list
keeps dragging on and on, until it just disappears.
Now, don't get me wrong. I'm no stranger to
procrastination. I, like most, have things on my list that
have needed to get done for YEARS. But what I've noticed is
that the stress level of NOT getting something done,
something important and re-venue generating, is far worse
than actually taking the time to complete it fully. So,
it's very much worth the effort. Not only that, it's far
more satisfying. You'll see.
Your Assignment:
That said, how can you implement more effectively? I can
only share with you my own formula, the one I've created
and use personally on a daily basis. I especially use this
after coming back from a high-content, multi-day conference
with lots of brain-candy in my head:
Transfer all your notes into a Projects Tracker in Excel (I
usually do this on the plane coming home). Label each of
these by "category" (Example: all to-do items related to
creating a Workshop-in-a-box get labeled as such; Lead
Generation items the same.) Create a Mind Map of all the
different projects (For me, seeing this all on paper helps
me focus on what is most important.) Once the steps are
Mind Mapped, select three that you will work on over the
next 120 days (4 months) and set a deadline. I choose the 3
goals based on their return on investment of time, energy
and mo-ney, as well as how quickly and effortlessly they
can be accomplished. Note which steps will be delegated to
your team or outsourced, then note that on your Projects
Tracker. Start delegating and implementing. Make time in
your calendar and in each day to work on the tasks that are
yours, TO COMPLETION. I really see the key to this as being
SPEED of implementation. Simply getting things done is
great, and yet if you can implement QUICKLY, you will see
returns on investment (especially, financially speaking)
much faster. In essence, nothing should be more important
than implementation.
My new mantra this week, taped on my wall above the
computer?
"ACT WITH SPEED"
Do this, and I guarantee you will have more clients, make
mo're mo-ney, with stress less. It's about taking that
no-excuses approach to getting things done that I talk
about so often. That's what millionaire entrepreneurs do.
Are you up for the challenge? I know I am. : )
Hey, if you're not sure WHAT marketing techniques you
should be implementing in the first place, then it's time
to take action and invest in a step-by-step marketing
system that will feel easy and authentic to you.
