Separation

Separate yourself.

Don’t be locked into what your industry and the world has labeled you.

You’re more than a mom. You’re more than an artist. You’re more than a Realtor. You’re more than a coach. You’re more than a teacher. You’re more than a chef. You’re more than what your label infers.

If you were going make music for a living (a good living) would you simply take the music that has already been written and perform that?

No. You would pour yourself into YOUR music. It would keep you awake at night thinking about how to create, write, and bring to market the new. That’s what you would dream of performing. You would feel like that is why you are here…to bring about something new.

Separate yourself, because like it or not the world will know you by your music and block you by your noise.

Commodities = Noise. As you separate from the noise of commoditization there you will find an opportunity to make music and a crowd eager to hear what you’ve got say and play.

Let’s beat the dead horse. Success requires separation.

Cliffs Notes For Any Great Sales Book

  • The market buys when they are ready to buy – not when you are ready to sell…and they tend to buy from their friends (or those that have been friendly).
  • Think in terms of clients not customers. (A shift happens and you turn pro).
  • Your business is relationships.
  • Care.
  • The Golden Rule is your mantra.
  • It’s not about you.

 

Growth Must Be A Goal

You’re either growing or being passed by.

Study.

Study often.

Read.

Re-read.

Learn.

Learn again.

Stretch.

Be stretched.

While you’re here always think about going there (a place of growth). Champions are “here” equipped while being “there” conscious.

Someone is currently thinking about how to do what you currently do better…and chances are they’re on to something.

The Q’s

Who needs help?

What can we create to help them?

When would help be beneficial? If the answer is not now go back to “who” and start over.

Where will they find our helpful art?

Why will they care about our help?

No question is greater than the others, but all must be continually addressed.

Be Choosy.

Sub par.

Fair.

Mediocre.

Decent.

Average.

Good.

Great.

Superb.

Remarkable.

The best.

You’re going to have to choose one of these as your pathway.

The market will then, in turn, choose you in accordance to what you choose.
