Talk about productivity on steroids.
Earlier today, I hosted an incredible livestream with the “Guru to the Gurus,” internationally known business coach, Rich Schefren in South Florida.
Being an entrepreneur means going to sleep knowing you’ve finished everything you need to do for the day—yeah right!
More likely, if you’re an entrepreneur, when your head hits the pillow, you’re immediately thinking of employees, projects, deadlines, revenues, your competition, your need to network—need I go on?
Thoughts of things you SHOULD be doing start popping up—and that’s why a lot of entrepreneurs get their best ideas at night—when they’ve hit the sack, and they can’t stop thinking about all the things they need to get done.
The myth here, one that I see many business owners believing, is that that’s how it SHOULD be! That all entrepreneurs must toss and turn all night worrying and stressing about tomorrow, because that’s the nature of owning a business, right?
Wrong.
In case you haven’t heard, we are doing something special for our clients this week.
A few months back, I was introduced to an expert who blew me away.
If you’re reading this, you know all about procrastination.
I can see you sitting at your computer, trolling the blogs for the reason why it seems to take you five times longer to complete a project than you know it should.
Trust me, I can relate. I’ve been a procrastinator my whole life.
Yet, even as a procrastinator, I’ve still managed to launch three separate million-dollar businesses. I’ve also coached hundreds of entrepreneurs, consulted with major corporations, and launched a ton of other side projects.
How did I manage that? Simple.
Over the years, I have found ways to get things done in spite of my own tendency to procrastinate.
I’ve figured out how to think around – or “out-think” my procrastination – so I could be successful regardless. Let me explain…
Recently I was at Startup 2012…
Startup 2012 is NYC’s premier business plan competition and entrepreneurship conference. It covers all the crucial topics in entrepreneurship, and one winner goes home with $75,000 worth of cash, goods, and services at day’s end.
I was there with Jay Abraham, he’s been working with some of the biggest start-ups in the world.
My interest, other than hanging out with my good buddy and mentor, was that I’ve been studying this space for a little over a year now.
I’ve been watching the top venture capitalists, reading dozens of books about tech start ups, and analyzing the marketing behind rapidly successful start-ups.
Today Jay Abraham and I are in NYC at StartUp 2012… I’m running a contest today on my facebook fan page – all you need to do is guess why we are here… whoever is closest gets free 1/2 hour call with me to focus on their business.
During a recent trip to participate in a high- level “mastermind” meeting hosted by Dan Kennedy…
Dan and I sat down and did a short, casual video interview together…
…where we talked about how I got started in business…
My life as an Internet marketer…
And how I positioned myself as a “Category of One“… by doing the OPPOSITE of what everyone else was doing online.
Here’s the raw, unedited interview right now. You’ll find it very interesting:
Over the last few posts, we’ve been talking about why so many Internet marketers have problems creating free content that makes sales.
If you already watched part 1 and 2 of this series, then you already know the wrong way to create free content.
Now it’s time to take a look at the right way…
In my last post, I gave you some background on why marketers have such a problem creating free content that makes the sales.
I also told you a story of one of my clients who I helped dramatically increase his sales with just a few suggestions on how to change his free content.
If you didn’t watch this first video, I recommend you go back and watch it now.
Today, we’re going to pick up where we left off in this free content series. In the video below, you’ll hear the biggest mistakes that Internet marketers make with free content.
Over the next few posts, I want to talk about an area of marketing that so crucial to succeeding online, yet so many people get it wrong – free content. Specifically, free content that actually makes the sale.
To start off this series, today’s video will introduce you to why so many Internet marketers have problems creating free content that turns prospects into clients.
