Hub You - Are You Willing To Do Whatever It Takes To Succeed In Business?
Recently, while providing an up-and-coming Virtual Assistant (VA) and small business owner with some start-up information, she asked me a very interesting question, “Why do you and other VA’s join organizations?”I guess I take for granted the reasons why I belong to several industry specific organizations. But, to those that are new to any industry, joining an organization made up of your competitors is a valid concern.Some organizations have members that are from a variety of walks of life (i.e. small business organizations, etc.) while
Okay, I’ll begin by telling you that I’ve been divorced for about 5 years, have an amazing family and by anyone’s standards, I have a wonderful life.I worked in the film industry for almost 9 years for my ex-husband’s company. But when we split, I had the dire task of figuring out just what else I was supposed to do, having worked in that industry for his company for the duration of our relationship, here I was, having to think about finding a job. A what? I was totally clueless. Where would I start? I’m the first to admit that I’m probably not
To level the playing field let’s pretend that each of our wily entrepreneurs all started their businesses on the exact same day, selling the exact same product at the exact same price. Let’s also pretend that they started their businesses from identical locations, with the exact same resources and funding, and with the exact same opportunities and odds for success. Even when starting from the same place at the same point in time with the same resources and same opportunities, the results vary widely; some entrepreneurs succeed in an amazing way and others do not.
Why then does one entrepreneur, in this case Curly because he is my favorite Stooge, reach the stars while most Stooges never make it off the ground? Why does Curly get to give the crowd a "Woop, woop, woop!" while accepting the Chamber’s Small Business of the Year Award while Mo and Larry have to work as waiters at the event to help pay their bills? Great questions, but before we explore the answers let’s tak
Matching and MirroringNeuro-linguistic programs teach you a lot about the psychology of selling and it’s worth your while reading a book on this subject, or studying a tape. Matching and mirroring is one concept I believe you should adopt in a sales process. First of all, if you have several staff, try to use the salesperson that is closest to the customer’s age (and sometimes gender) because people tend to buy from people who are seven years on either side of their age, older or younger. This means a 27-year old is much more likely to make a pu

Drop shipping is a very simple way to make money using the internet. There is very little risk or capital investment required when setting up but, understandably for a business that promises easy money, there is a lot of competition.All you need to do, is to advertise a product that you don't have in stock, take orders from customers and pass them on to the wholesaler. The products are then dispatched by the wholesaler, leaving you to pocket the difference between the retail and wholesale price. There are many internet outlets offering you the c

Stooges aside, there is a very simple reason some entrepreneurs do amazingly well in business while others do not. It has nothing to do with product or location or backing or education or street smarts or dumb luck.
It’s because those who succeed in an amazing way are willing to do whatever it takes - for as long as it takes - to make their dreams come true. Those who are unwilling to do whatever it takes will ultimately fail. That’s it, end of story, thank you, drive thr
