Indecision hurts and kills a business.
He´s created a word “Squeamish ville” which mean it is where opportunities go to die.
Right now is the best time to start a business.
Momentum if you keep building will carry the day.
Ideas are cheap; action is where the money is.
You could have some latent talent that in later life you can exercise.
Go to Google to see how many people are searching for your product or service or what can I offer that´s already being searched on Google?
Create an e-book on a subject matter that you can do better than anyone else.
Here is the secret to whatever and then sell that secret.
Create an information product on something.
You need to get people to know you, like you and trust you.
Offer a free product in exchange for their email address.
Start with a low-priced item; say $9.95, to get your first chargeable sale.
You must stair step up to the bigger products.
Giving away free information sometimes makes sense but that is not the only option. You must gain people´s trust.
Another technique is give something away for free without any option required initially but have an option box available there and these that opt in on their own are the most valuable customers.
Invest in a coach who has already been down the road you are travelling on.
You need to have a service or product to make a living, create one!
Don’t do business on your own; read, consult with others, research, what´s growing, what´s shrinking, what are the competitors charging?
Some monthly continuity programs charge $7 a month and some are as high as $30,000 a year.
Usually specializing in a particular area, you can charge a lot more.
If there is a lot a people in the field, that is a sign of money. That is a good thing.
It is all about marketing. You can have an average product and be successful.
When you have a list of customers, give them more of what they have already been buying.
Survey the people you have. Let´s say you have 1000 emails on your list, email them saying “I´m thinking about bringing out another report” and give them three options you are considering and ask them which one they would like to see first and also what product they would like to see that hasn’t been mentioned. If 30 people responded out of the 1000 and said they want a particular report, it’s the tip of the iceberg, you got a winner.
Writing a book will help you become famous.
A thirty-page eBook can sell for $99 and 300-page book might only sell for $19.95.
The benefit of a real book is it gives you credibility, positioning, prominence in people’s mind, when you say you are a published author.
Everyone needs a book editor. Self-publishing is often the best way to start and also offering it as an audio book. Do the book in your own voice, they´re connecting with you unless it´s a novel. A smaller book will usually not have a big an effect than a large book. You could write a 200-page book in sixty days if you have someone like Jim Palmer helping you. Depending on how many relationships with people you have, it will take time to build up your name. Besides the amount of money you can charge, writing the book is the easiest part; marketing is the hard part; going on talk shows, public speaking, book signings, etc.
You must want something bad enough that you will work harder than you ever had before to become a successful entrepreneur.
Age is not an obstacle. Colonel Sanders of KFC was 68 years old when he started his entrepreneur work.
A new venture can take 6 months to a year before it really starts producing.
