In this interview with Darren Hardy, Success Magazine,

Seth Godin explains these concepts and More.

In this audio Interview (Success Magazine) Seth Goding explains why it is always better to stand out rather than fit in.

What is the REAL opportunity of competing with large businesses while being a small business owner.

Why marketing is not just advertising, it’s everything our customers see, feel and encounter with us.

Interruption marketing does not work on the internet.  People can choose to ignore you any time you are irrelevant

This is the “Connection Revolution” – our clear response to the end of the Industrial revolution.

Getting people to “remark” about you makes you “remarkable”.

Why good marketers REFUSE to sell average things to AVERAGE people.  Selling average stuff to average people is a trap.

I am NOT a Motivational speaker, I just play one on the Internet….  Or so it would seem.

I cannot tell you the number of incidents where I have been mistaken as being a “Motivational Speaker”.  I MUCH prefer the title which Larry Wingett embraces “Irritational Speaker”.  It is much easier to speak your mind when you are less afraid to offend people.

However, I do, very much enjoy passing along self development and motivational tidbits whenever possible…

Please enjoy this poem “Invictus” by William Ernest Henley.

Invictus

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

William Ernest Henley

 WYSIWIG:  What You See Is What You Get.  A 90 Day Challenge

to Recreate your Mind, Body and Soul.

When I coach people I frequently find myself trying first to get them to tell me their dreams and desires.  This is because I know that the results they have in life are a direct result of the thoughts they have dredged up, fermented and anchored in their lives.  These thoughts became reality.  What they saw was what they got.  It all began with the “seeing”.

Thoughts become things.  Thoughts are pictures in your mind that we examine and our subconscious mind they are held and embraced by your subconscious mind.  Keep them long enough and they become real in form.

As an example: Anxiety will destroy you and paralyze you if you let it.  Fear is meditation in the wrong direction.  Fears and anxieties are essentially the same thing.

I bought the URL www.FearlessTeamLeader.com because my life had become filled with fear and I had lost all of my money, my entire Team and my self confidence when the economy crashed.  I was literally starting over, so I decided to act counter-intuitively.  I bought the web domain name www.FearlessTeamLeader.com as an AFFIRMATION of who I wanted to become.  I have built a website and meditated upon being courageous and formed a vision in my mind of who I wanted to be.  It worked.

Tips to reformat your life based on WYSIWYG:

Eliminate Fear based words.  They form a repetitive loop in your mind your end goal.  Instead of EVER using the word ‘Fear”, state your concern, but NEVER say you are afraid.  Using fearful words anchors an emotion in your subconscious mind.  It will stay there and linger.  Get rid of it.

Hold a vision of what you want.  Use tools and pictures.  Visualize. Clip magazine pictures relevant to your dreams and post them where you will see them continually.  Thoughts become things and you will subconsciously find ways to receive that which you see.

Eliminate people who try to undermine your success and dissuade you.  You need to find new friends.  We become the average of the five closest friends we hang around the most.  Who you are now is a result of your previous thoughts, as are your relationships.   And those relationships influence your thoughts.  It’s also a repetitive loop.  Do your friends suck?  You probably do too.

Find people that will, instead support and uplift you.  Form a group that will hold you accountable to higher standards of thought and action and all of you will benefit.  Seek them out and you will find others who have the same ideas as you.  Verbally affirm you goals to others.  Find accountability partners.

Become what you want by believing it first, affirming it and “seeing” it in your mind.  What yo see is truly what you get, but you must “see” it first before you will receive it.

How to Ask for the Referral:  A 90 Day Challenge of Prospecting for Your Business

The easiest way to build a business is to have lots of eager prospects lined up with money in hand ready to buy.  What do you do when your list of prospects grows short?  Ask for referrals.

Here is the easiest way to get people to send their friends and family to you so you can sell them your products and services.  Follow this process and you will find plenty of people to whom you can sell.

The process:

1.       Ask the right person.

Some people are not good referral sources.  We are usually equal to the five people we spend the most time with, and so are your referral sources.  If you are selling a high end product like a Mercedes, then likely, your friends that work on an assembly line will not know frequent Mercedes purchasers.  It’s not snobbery; it’s the way life really works.  Consider your audience.

Asking a stranger for a referral is sometimes an odd proposition, but it has worked for me after a brief conversation.  Learn to build relationships and you will find more referrals coming in.  Sometimes, though, some people will NEVER give a referral to anyone.  They may be stingy or just feel referrals are awkward. It is possible they are just not able to think of someone to refer at that moment.  Plant a seed in their mind and leave it. If someone is not willing to refer you, then don’t worry about it.  There are plenty of people out there that will.

2.       Reassure them.

Let them know that their reputation will be enhanced by their introduction.  If they serve you by making a connection for you, then it is your duty to preserve the relationship of all parties.  It is a duty that is implied, but expected.  Here is the verbiage you should use: “ _____, I want to make sure you know that when you refer someone to me I will treat them BETTER than their own family treats them.  I respect you and I will make you proud that you introduced us.”

Pretty heavy statement?; You bet. You will find people will loosen up quickly when you use that approach and are sincere about your assurances.  I have gotten multiple referrals in one sitting using that approach.  Use it wisely.  Follow up and do good work.  Your reputation with your referrer is at risk if you screw it up.

3.       Build their trust.

The best way to build their trust is to act consistently with your words.  Show them proof that you do a good job.  I know people who shoot video of satisfied customers and post them on their websites and use them in presentations.  Any way you do it, offer them proof that you are trustworthy.

4.       Ask at the right time.

Be certain you have observed the milestones I laid out above.  You can only ask a person to give their referrals if you have completed the steps previously discussed above.  If you ask the right question at the wrong time, then you will need to start over with building trust.  Don’t try to skip ahead.  Build trust, reassure them, wait for the right time and THEN ask with great confidence.

Make sure you have a person’s attention before you ask for the referrals.  If they are distracted by something you will get lesser results.  Timing is everything.

5.       Ask the right question.

An open ended question is your tool here.  Never ask a question that can be answered with a Yes / No response.  Asking “Do you know anybody that needs to lose weight?” can be easily avoided.  Asking your prospect “Who do you know who is always trying to lose a few pounds?” will get a higher response rate.

Close for the recommendation.  The only thing more powerful than a referral is a RECOMMENDATION.  Nothing is more powerful than a friend calling another and saying “I want you to meet…”.  If you get a person to make an introduction for you, it is a great achievement.

Be open to the possibility that you may need to ask someone a few times before they really understand what you want.  Be politely persistent.

6.       Follow up and follow through:

This person risked a lot to connect you to their friend or relative.  Reward them.  Send a nice thank you card in the mail. Most importantly, let them know the results of your connection.  They will get HUGE satisfaction knowing that you treated their referral correctly and that everyone was served well.  When you do this, more referrals will flow to you.

If you are consistent and follow these steps every day you will have a steady stream of ready, willing and eager prospects for your business.

How to build your Home Based Business online. A 90 Day Challenge for Prospecting.

I like to show people how to progress over a 90 day challenge period for their Home based business because almost everyone that gets started in a Home Based Business struggles at first.  Ninety days is a reasonable time to focus and get results.  A period of 90 days seems to be a time frame that most people will concentrate on anything important to them, whether it’s a home based business, losing weight, or any other meaningful activity.

When building your Home Based Business Online during your 90 day Challenge, it is important to remember the following guidelines:

Have fun. Don’t make a daily “grind” out of your home based business during your first 90 day challenge. Be persistent, but be playful in your approach. People don’t want another job, they want something that will be productive and fill them with Joy. If you exude that, then they will be DRAWN to you. Your home based business will seem like a dear friend and not a chore for your 90 day challenge period.

Don’t annoy others.  Approach your friends first, but if they say they are not interested, then move on. Let them see you succeed over your 90 day challenge in your home based business and when they are ready to get some of what you got, they will come along side you and join you. Leave the door wide open to them, but don’t continually pester them. Nothing is as persuasive as success. Sometimes they lack the courage to try something new and they are waiting for you to prove that it works. Go out and do that. Prove it with your actions.

Ask for Referrals. If your friends and family decline to join your home based  business during your first 90 day challenge interval, ask them for referrals. A lot of times they will feel relieved to be “off the hook” and will give you referrals to point you in the right direction. A referral is ALWAYS more impactful than a cold call and your odds of sponsoring or selling product to someone will increase dramatically. It’s easy enough to simply ask a leading and open ended question and listen for the answer. Example: If you work in the health niche, ask them: “Who do you know who always talks about wanting to lose weight”  During your first 90 day challenge you should as for ninety referrals just to be safe.

Retail sales are important. If you are in a business that is NOT conducive to RETAIL sales, your 90 day challenge to build your home based business will be more difficult and less profitable.  You then should consider a different company / product. When people decline to join you, ask them to become a customer and ask them for referrals as demonstrated above. Take the retail profits, enjoy them,and at some point a fair portion of the retail customers will join as distributors. Learn to become an expert in your product niche and let people buy from you.

Meet new people. Your list of prospects for your home based business will shrink short very quickly, so replenish the list frequently during your 90 Day Challenge to make money in your home based business. Engage others about your business offline as well. Attend mixers, group meetings and bring business cards. Be polite, professional and engaging, but not “pitchy”. There are other ways to generate home based business leads online such as Blogging, Lead Systems and Social Media Strategies. Use all of them as a part of your daily marketing routine.

Remember to follow up. In other words, be organized during your 90 day challenge to build your home based business. Have a list of people you talked to about your home based business and move the most interested people to the top of the list. Don’t be afraid of the answer they may give. Be brave and contact them: preferably face to face and sit down and ask for the order. It is a pipeline of business, so some will take longer than others.

If you follow these simple guidelines your 90 day challenge to make money in your home based business will be easier, more fun and profitable.  Now, go out there and take MASSIVE action.

You like Chicken Nuggets?

You probably won’t like them once you see how they are really made.

Here is another one.  

If this does not inspire a 90 Day Challenge to Lose Weight, then nothing will.

Does this look like food to you?  You will NOT lose weight by eating anything like this.

During my 90 day challenge to lose weight, I have stopped eating processed foods almost exclusively.  Most foods are made or influences by Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO).  That is bad enough to make me want to eat locally grown foods, but now that I see this I know I will lose weight because I will NEVER eat another “Chicken Nugget” again….EVER.

This is your 90 Day Challenge to AVOID Processed or “Fast” Food.  Lose weight NOW by following a few simple guidelines:

Here is what you will need to do to avoid getting heavier and developing a series of cascading Health issues:

Avoid all processed food.

Stop eating breads that were NOT made locally.  Stop eating anything made of white flour, ideally.

No sugar.

Fat is OK, but in VERY lower amounts.

Avoid pork products.

Severely limit Alcohol.

Exercise.

A 90 day challenge is supposed to be challenging.  Lose weight gradually and settle in for the long haul.  Make a lifestyle of healthy thinking and be ready to give up a few of today’s unhealthiest choices although those habits are so difficult to change.

When starting my 90 Day Challenge to get fit, some people used the term “lose weight”while others call it “fat loss” whilst many use the terms weight loss and fat loss interchangeably.

Do they mean the same thing? Do you really want to lose weight or FAT?

To many people, they do mean the same thing, but the terms may be entirely different in meaning.

You must think about your body mass differently if you want to lose weight or lose fat effectively and permanently.

When you step onto your bathroom scale every morning, what you will be reading from the scale is weight loss and not fat loss. Some of the weight loss or gain can even be water retention or waste in your intestines that has not been expelled.

Bath room scales are never accurate in determining if you lose weight or if it is actual fat loss. Why? Because it measures your overall weight and not your body fat per se. In our 90 Day Challenge to lose weight, we want to measure overall success, not just pounds lost. If you weigh yourself in the morning before breakfast after your bowel movement, you will probably get your lowest reading of the day because your body is dehydrated through hours of non fluid replenishment when you were sleeping.  After emptying your bowels, more water and wastes are flushed away so much so that you are you are lighter. After a night of sleep and not eating anything, your carbohydrate store is running low and therefore you are even lighter without the stored carbohydrate known as glycogen. What happened then? You just lose weight not loss fat! Your body fat is still there while the weight of other substances such as glycogen, wastes, water etc are depleted. In out 90 day Challenge, we encourage people to weigh themselves at the same time of EACH day for this very reason.

Now go weigh yourself again after dinner when you are fully replenished through meals and consumption of water and it may surprised you that you may probably weigh 2kg or more heavier and that is at least 4.4 pounds! You just gained weight and may even gained fat! Now you can see that it is such a misconception when people think weight loss and fat loss as the same thing. WHEN YOU LOSE WEIGHT, YOU DON’T ALWAYS LOSE FAT. When you gain weight, you are not always fatter. Why is this an important distinction? Because for most of us, especially those who are on the fat side want to lose fat and not necessarily want to lose weight. We want to be fit and not fat.

I have found from personal experience that losing weight can have little to do with actual health.

I lost over 30 pounds of fat, but weigh within 15 pounds of my original weight. I did it by gaining muscle tone as I shed fat. So, resolve to lose fat, but not pounds. Measure in inches, not weight. Now for the more important part. Mere weight loss may cause you to lose muscle and in turn, make you gain body fat later. It’s very counterintuitive. That is because the more muscle mass you have, the more you burn fat efficiently because muscle is an active tissue and it requires calories to function. Body fat just sit there as an unused energy storage, doing nothing and thus do not burn calories on its own. So the less muscle mass you have, the less calories your body will burn.You will lose weight slower, or not at all if you don’t have muscle mass of some kind. The fewer calories your body burns, the more calories ended up being stored as body fat! Therefore it is important to lose fat but not merely lose weight which may include the loss of muscle tissues.

How is it that a person may lose muscle on a weight loss program? Well for starters, we commonly hear about people going on this diet and that diet. Most diets demand a severe restriction of food or calorie intake. Your body will then signal to your mind that you are in a starvation mode and the body is designed to store fat for the impending famine and will use up your muscle for energy in your daily activities. So, if you exercise and do not eat, you will get fatter and not lose weight! Some diets advocate a severe cut in carbohydrate in order to lose weight. Carbohydrate is your body’s first source of energy. When your body is depleted of carbohydrate, it turns to your protein (muscles) and body fat indiscriminately for energy. Now to make matters worse, because of the restricted carbohydrate consumed, there will be fewer carbohydrate calories to be used as energy calories and that again will signal the onset of starvation mode again. The vicious cycle of your body cannibalizing its own muscle is set in motion again. The same applies to people on slimming pills or salon fat loss programs.You might lose weight, but likely, it will not be fat loss, it will be muscle loss. Doing plenty of cardio exercises to lose weight is good, but you need to balance the energy intake also. Doing cardio while starving is another common mistake because your body is a wonderful machine and is designed to adapt. When you run or skip or swim long enough, it will say, look, I better get lighter so that I can take the stress better and improve the endurance. Guess what? Your muscles are heavier than fats and what will your body shed more when it wants to get lighter? Muscle or fat? Your body will shed both but more muscles than fats. Here is a good question: Why would you want to lose weight only to become a smaller you with the same body shape without any muscle tone? Why would you want to be on a weight loss program that eats your muscles and lower your fat burning rate so much so that when you are off the program, the fats come piling back on again? That’s not a solid plan for looking great and being healthy for a lifetime. While you are on a lose fat program, you must also be on a build muscle program. That will mean a combination of correct dietary habit, cardio exercises and weightlifting exercises to maintain muscle preservation and a fat loss result. From now on you are not on a lose weight program. Tell people you are on a fat loss program and not a weight loss program. That you are on a correct eating habit instead of just simply dieting. With the distinction clearly in mind, you will then know how to lose fat effectively, preserve and grow your muscles and at the same time losing weight on your bathroom scale. That would be an ideal way to achieve your weight loss objective because you will lose body fat instead of muscle and mere body wastes. If you find yourself with weight gain yet you are getting thinner and more muscular, it’s a good thing. That is your new goal.
