Recently, Saturday that was, I picked up a book called titled “Crush It”.  It is a book that I’ve been wanting to to take a look at for sometime.  I first came to my attention when it was mentioned by Real Estate speaker and motivator Tom Ferry.

Just a side note, Tom Ferry has some really good content, for everybody. You can Check him out here.

The book is written by Gary Vaynerchuck, don’t ask me how to pronounce it. Even though I’m speak multiple languages, I’m not fluent in Russian. The fact that I speak multiple languages is probably apparent it in my spelling and grammar, never been one of my strong points.

In the book he makes some very good points about being passionate at what you are doing and if you don’t have passion don’t do it. Read the rest of this entry »

If you want to have a successful business, then be different.  Do things differently than others do.  Don’t be afraid to tell the big guy’s NO.  By being different you set yourself apart.  By being different you give people a choice that they didn’t have otherwise.  Take a look at the video below.

Now be different.

This morning I received an email from Brian Tracy and I quote from him, “The future belongs to the risk takers, not the security seekers.  Life is perverse in the sense that the more you seek security, the less of it you have. But the more you seek opportunity, the more likely it is that you will achieve the security that you desire.”

This is so true, you look at the really successful people in this world like the Richard Branson, and they are risk takers.  But in taking risk the don’t through caution to the wind, almost every move they make has been thought out and planned.  That doesn’t mean that every they do is success, but it means they have taken precautions to protect what they have and if they fail, it is a learning experience and they go on.

Here is a great video to show you what I mean:

If you look Steph Davis is doing what only some people dream of doing, but she doesn’t through caution to the wide. She had the proper and necessary safe equipment and she has taken the time to learn.  You as a business builder need to do the same.

Are you ready if an opportunity comes your way?  Are you prepared to see an opportunity and take it when it is placed in your hands?

Opportunities to makes lots of money only come along maybe two or three times in one life.  Look at those who saw the vision in say NuSkin in the beginning or any one of another number of network marketing companies.  The early ones made lots of money while those who got in later made less.  Why because they saw the vision and ran with it.  They didn’t let the fear of the unknown stop them.

Lets take a look at a deal I am working on right now.  I had been watching a particular laundromat  for sometime.  Then one day, I notice that the lights were off so I made a call to an equipment distributor I knew had dealings with the owner.  My hunch was right, something was up.

The current laundry owner had walked away and the previous owner was getting it back and didn’t want it.  So I called the owner, made an appointment, we sat and talked, and the deal is done except for a few details.

To complete the deal, we are going to do a few things that the person off the street wouldn’t think of.  Why, because I had spent my time studying and preparing, I was looking for an opportunity, and while looking for an opportunity I found one.

You can too.
