4 STEPS TO SUCCESS!??

What is success?

For the business owner, success is defined as "the
achievement of wealth and fame".

For many, wealth and fame remain only dreams, but there
is a four step formula that will allow anyone who truly
desires success to reach their dreams.

Step # 1. Know your product or service

Before you begin promoting your product or service, you
must learn everything about it. You must know the
benefits inside and out.

Don't become a modern day snake oil salesmen by
promoting something you know nothing about. Your
reputation and credibility are on the line.

Promoting something just for the money is a sure fire
way to damage your reputation and lose a customer for
life.

Promote only products or services you truly believe
in and know something about.

Step #2 Set Goals

Your goal is your roadmap to success. Without goals
you wander aimlessly. Until you've sat down and
committed your goals to writing, you are doing nothing
more than daydreaming.

Make your goal big enough to get you excited, but
not so big that you don't believe you can achieve it.

Remember the formula:
Conceiving + Believing = Achieving

Step #3

Make a plan for reaching your goal. A goal is important,
but to accomplish your goal you must have a plan of
action.

Your plan must be detailed enough to help you reach your
goal, but flexible enough to allow for modifications as
circumstances warrant.

We all operate from incomplete knowledge, so once we
begin our journey, we must be prepared to make changes
as our knowledge increases.

Step # 4

Put your plan into action. Without taking action, your
goal will remain a daydream.

Once you start moving in the direction of your goals,
you'll find your goals will meet you half way.

Once your plan is in place, you must begin to act
immediately. Remember an object in motion tends to
remain in motion.

Start moving today.

These four steps may seem simple, but follow them and
they'll take you anywhere you want to go.
