An Uncommon Dialogue On The Strategy of Preeminence by Jay Abraham

The Foundation Principle of The Strategy of Preeminence

The foundation principle of the Strategy of Preeminence by Jay Abraham is to love your client.  This means a complete focus on bringing maximum value to a client where you provide  a service or sell a product.

How To Fall In Love With Your Client

"Steve Pohlit"
Steve Pohlit on Implementing Jay Abraham's The Strategy of Preeminence

As a business coach and business consultant at the outset with every new client, my focus is completely on how to help them achieve their intended goals as fast as possible. I have a single minded vision. I am in love with the idea of leaving the client in a better position as a result of my work with them.

For the most part my clients are engaged in the process.  The ones who are not, do not receive the full benefit of my experience. This is because an increasing amount of time is spent trying to determine what will work the best in getting them to take directed action. I fall out of love with the idea of being able to help them because they are not helping themselves.

In summary become completely focused on the success of your client or the outcome they are intending when buying your product. As your market knows your passion for client success stories, you become the the “go to business” for service/products. When that happens you are experiencing the benefit of implementing the Strategy of Preeminence.   There’s More!!!

How To Develop The Confidence To Implement The Strategy of Preeminence

I consistently coach clients to develop their own self-development program so that they are in a state of happiness and confidence. This is important for success in their personal and business lives. The number one barrier that blocks people from moving forward and achieving what is possible for them is lack of confidence..lack of self esteem.  Once that is addressed then I find most often a gap in defining success. Without a clear definition it is impossible to implement an action plan that can lead you to the goal.  The majority of the time we don’t just get in a car and drive. We  have a destination and we research the route if we don’t already know it.

The Best Way I Have Found To Strengthen Self Esteem

Og Mandino is the author of quite a few wonderful self development books. One of them is The Greatest Miracle In The World. In that book,  Og writes about the probability of any human being born.  The math works out to be 1 in 300 billion or something like that. He uses that information to emphasize just how special each  is. I love to reflect on that information as it applies to me and everyone else.

Developing confidence starts with strengthening your self esteem and then putting yourself in positions where that are outside of your comfort zone. The more you do that, what was outside of your comfort zone becomes inside your comfort zone.  For example, public speaking is frightening for many people and it has been for me in the past. Now I love it and that experience helps me when networking for my businesses. Many networking situations involve standing up in front of a group and presenting who you are, what you are looking for and what you bring to the table.  I coach all my clients on how to become better at this since business success results from build successful relationships.

How To Achieve Success Beyond Measure

1. Define success in measurable terms
2. Develop step by step action plans designed to achieve the intended results.
3. Make adjustments as you get feedback on how you are doing vs. you plan.  This is the Plan vs Actual = Variance formula I share at all my live event presentations.  I have named this The Gold Formula.
4. Be relentless every day on implementing the action plan you you developed to achieve your success goals
5. End you day on a positive note with completing an important task or successfully marketing to one more client or an existing one.
6. Never ever lose site of the goal of being part of a better outcome as a result of you coming to the table.

Build Business Profits with A Client Focused Mindset

"Steve Pohlit"
Strategy of Preeminence Examples

In a recent article I addressed The Strategy of Preeminence taught by Jay Abraham.  Studying and coaching on this material has heightened my awareness of examples of people and companies who exemplify a preeminent mindset. Unfortunately there seems to be a dominance of examples opposite of a client success focused culture.  Every example is an opportunity for business to improve. Every improvement will be met with a corresponding increase in business profits.

Recent Examples:

United Airlines automated systems called me to alert me a flight I had scheduled was cancelled. Being notified was good.  Working on practical alternatives with United was a nightmare. It is true United Airlines booked me on a later flight. However, when you have plans beginning at noon, arriving at 6:30PM is not a viable option.  In researching alternatives, I learned there was a flight that would have arrived only two hours late. That flight was on American which is a Star Alliance Partner of United.  United didn’t book me on that flight, however United tried to call them and after a 45 minute wait there was not enough time to book it, confirm it and make the flight.

The logistics were one item. A deeper issue was communication. United Airlines customer support is located in India. While well intended, communication with people in a country where English is not their first language just does not work.  It was so difficult that I went to the airport in Chicago and tried to resolve the situation there.  I learned that I could book a flight back to my home town in Tampa for a price of nearly $500.  On line earlier, the price of that flight was $181.00 The representative at the airport gave me some explanation about rates that didn’t make sense. Additionally I could tell he really was not trying to help me.

I finally found a flight back to Tampa on another airline at a reasonable price.  It was clear I was not going to get to my original destination so I decided to fly home.  When I got to the gate for that flight I found it was delayed and hour which would mean I would miss my connecting flight. However the gate agent said “wait a minute I can get you on a United Flight direct leaving in an hour”  She demonstrated a sincere client focused mindset.  Ultimately I made that flight and returned home not feeling very good about spending most of the day on these logistics.

The airline industry has people that do their job well with a “serve the client” attitude. However, many parts of this system are broken including pricing and phone support.  There are airlines that get it more right than wrong. My favorite is Southwest which is why they have been consistently profitable.  Yes there is a direct correlation between serving the client and profitability.

Recommended Action Steps

If you have an automated attended phone system, trash it and have a live person answer the phones.

If you use staff from a third world country for customer service, develop US based call centers for US and English speaking customer calls.

Be sure your business model on line is consistent with your physical business model.

Strategically evaluate how well you are doing implementing a Strategy of Preeminence.

Action Steps

How To Quickly Adopt and Implement The Strategy of Preeminence by Jay Abraham

"Steve Pohlit"
Adopt The Strategy of Preeminence

Jay Abraham is a legendary coach and consultant  guiding companies and entrepreneurs to making more money….alot more money.  If you are not familiar with him, click here and I also recommend you Google Jay Abraham.

Jay developed a core value  named The Strategy of Preeminence.  I am a long time student of Jay’s and I am a coach with Top One Coaching We include the strategies of Jay Abraham with The Strategy of Preeminence being at the foundation.

The Strategy of Preeminence Summarized

The Strategy of Preeminence is:

1. A mindset
2. A Value System

where the focus is on your

1. Client
2. Employee
3. Vendors
4. Any business relationship that helps your business move forward.

Examples:

Two clients own body shops…a business that fix wrecked vehicles.  There are two major stress points: first there is the emotion associated with damage and next there is the emotion of wanting this damage restored back to original or better than original condition.  Both clients are totally passionate about how their client is treated and how the process of restoration is handled. My role is to help them develop additional marketing strategies so their markets know they are the trusted advisor and service provider in their niche. I also help them improve operations and systems for the strengthening of   gross margin and net profit.

Real Estate Investors add tremendous value in the marketplace by helping their clients including sellers, buyers, contractors, realtors and the community.  Those focused transactions where all win are the most successful investors long term.  The have become the trusted investor in the marketplace.  Top One Coaching goes way beyond coaching people on real estate transactions.

I measure my success as a business coach and consultant by the success of those I work with. I know when the direction we are working on is working and when it doesn’t.  I take both outcomes very personally. My mindset is always on the success of the business owner I am coaching.

Notice the purposeful use of the word client. In one of Jay’s presentations focused on the Strategy of Preeminence he reminds of the following definitions:

Client: A person under the care of another

Customer: A person who purchases a product or service.

Companies who view themselves as sellers of products or services are essentially viewing themselves as a commodity merchant.  Those who have established themselves as the “go to” expert/trusted advisor operate from a position of strategic preeminence.

The Top 5  Steps for Achieving Strategic Preeminence.

A reminder and a comment:

Remember..the Strategy of Preeminence applies to all constituents that are involved with your business – not just your clients.

Comment…Jay Abraham is legendary and brilliant.  His creative thought process would likely offer 50 or 150 steps to implement the Strategy of Preeminence.  I offer I feel will make the most immediate impact on building business profits.  Undoubtedly this list can be expanded. Let’s jog before we go for the sub 4 minute mile.

Step 1  To The Strategy of  Preeminence: Internal Congruence

This means you must be passionate about what you do. If you are not passionate about your business, do something else. If you are passionate about making money but you are not passionate about how you are making money, do something else.

It is virtually impossible to be in a sustainable position of preeminence without a passion for what you do because you will not be authentic.

Step 2:  Clear Definition

Clearly define your business including strategic direction, what you want and what you bring to the table (what is in it for your clients) In the book Onward by Howard Schultz, CEO of Starbucks he writes about the rise, fall and near failure of the business.  The number one item he identified as the reason in declining performance was the focus on growing the numbers to please Wall Street and the gradual  disconnect with Starbuck’s customers.

The transformation agenda that Howard developed in connection with his return as CEO opens with “The Starbucks mission: To inspire and nurture the human spirit on person, one cup, and one neighborhood at a time.” That agenda went on to address the product, the partners and shareholders.  The transformation agenda was the first step to turning around the business. This book is a “page turner” I love it and recommend it highly.

Once the definition of what your business represents becomes part of you, it will make a huge difference in your business. If it is not part of your belief system then people will know you are not authentic and the status of preeminence will not be experienced.

Step 3: Develop A Strategy of Preeminence Communication Strategy

The goal of your communication strategy is to expand the awareness of clients, employees and all constituents as to how your business achieves the core values of your business.  Everything you do as a business must reflect the passion of your business purpose. Every email, blog article, social media tweet, status update….all the content on your company media, website and more needs to be congruent with the passion of your business purpose.

The type of communication you use will be dependent on your target audience and distance from you.  The more personal the communication the more effective you are likely to be.  This is actually a subject of many books and seminars.  For now just remember that all communication should be in alignment with your core values and business purpose.

Step 4: Develop Systems That Confirm Your Strategic Purpose Is On Track

It wasn’t that Starbucks didn’t have measurements, it was the fact the evolving  direction was on same store revenue growth and continually higher quarterly performance.  This was not the core value that would result in a preeminent market position.

Top One Coaching has a report card system for evaluating clients and for clients to evaluate coaches.

Clients who refer business to you is a great measurement.

Employees will tell you.

Pay attention to how well you are developing permanent relationships.

Here is the key…you must take the time to pay attention and develop specific feedback benchmarks that tell you you are on track.  One action step I recommend is a brief weekly meeting for 30 minutes or so with employees and others to evaluate progress. Personally I always ask clients what else will help them the most even when based on my experience I am confident in the direction.

Givers Gain: That is the mantra of  Business Network Institute and it is true. Remember to spread the word of those you work with who do a great job.  Maybe it is a contractor, attorney, accountant, real estate agent or someone who cleans your office…..share.

Step 5:  Strategic Performance

This is the financial performance model incorporating my Gold Formula.  I have named this the Gold Formula because I have found the gold is in variance from plan. The gold formula is plan…actual…variance. With every business we develop a financial plan for near term business performance.  Near term is generally a year. We detail that plan by month then begin tracking variances from plan. This process supports your evaluation of how well you are doing to implement the Strategy of Preeminence.  If your variances are consistently negative to a valid plan something is not right.

Act Now….A Huge Issue Is Procrastination

“The Greatest Salesman In The World”  by Og Mandino – delivers a powerful 10 step success formula. One  is titled “Act Now”.  Beyond the obvious,  Act Now reminds us there is no guarantee we will be here tomorrow so get it done.

Raymond Aaron who is the author of many books including “Double Your Income Doing What You Love”  counsels us to outsource what we don’t love to do.  Tasks we don’t love to do are the single biggest reason behind procrastination according to Raymond.

Both authors offer great guidance in these and other books they have written.  The people who I coach and companies who are clients receive very clear action steps and timetables for completion. Not acting is the single biggest reason for lack of progress or even failure.

However success is beyond “Act Now”. It is “Act Now” on the right things.  What are the right things? The right things are the action steps that result in you achieving your clearly defined measurable goals. The Advanced Accountability System which is what I use with all clients begins with the establishment of near term measurable plans.

Not all plans are financial. There are plans for increasing personal energy, plans for self-development, plans for improving key relationships.  All components are key.  So “Act Now” on those things that are going to make the most difference in your business and your life.

How To Quickly Build A Successful Business With Almost No Money

Almost No Money Needed To Start A Profitable Business And Earn $50-$100,000 In Your First Year

There are two industries where you can start making money as an independent contractor and then business owner with almost no money.  I use the work almost because you will need a car that runs, buy gas for the car and have a presentable appearance.

Considering these basic requirements, you may need to  work  for expenses like gas for your car and food while taking the action steps to  building your business. One lady who started working with my firm Tampa Capital Partners currently borrows a car and spends maybe $50 per week on fuel and expenses. She is on track  to  make more than $100,000 this year.

The Top Two Industries For Earning Six Figures From Your New Business In The First Year Starting With Almost No Money

The really good news is these industries are proven to produce the income for people willing to follow the directions.  Following the directions means coachable. Don’t worry…it is true I am a business coach and business consultant, there are many people who will help you for no money. You will need to  be careful in selecting these people so you are not wasting your time with inaccurate advice.

I encourage you to keep an open mind about the two industries I am writing about. They are:

Real Estate Investing and

Network Marketing or multi-level marketing (MLM).

Right up front there is a disproportionate amount of negative information published about these industries. It is beyond the scope of this article to address those inaccuracies.  For now consider the following:

How Do You Get Started With Almost No Money

Network Marketing or MLM

Here is one way and there are others: find a company with a wholesale sales program for a product that retailers would like to sell. Find a distributor of that company who is willing to lend you some sample product and teach you how to approach retailers for selling the product or product line in their stores. When orders are received, the distributor pays you a portion of the profits.

Once you have made enough money to become a distributor (usually between $200 and $2,000 then you can develop your business using all the avenues for building profits that you will be taught. MLM companies are often  a great resource for learning business, marketing and presentation skills. You will meet great people who are very willing to teach you.  One company that is very friendly to wholesaling  is Organo Gold. Their product line appeals to everyone and is great for church and charitable fund raisers.

Real Estate Investing

The best way to start in real estate with no money is to work for a real estate investor who will teach you in exchange for the work you do. The work will include networking, sending letters, going to the courthouse, evaluating deals and more.  I have developed a special program in the Tampa market to attract people who want to learn. It is called Tampa Capital Partner’s Apprentice Program

Other Ways

I look forward to your comments on other ways to quickly build a successful business with almost no money.

Leverage Is The Key To Building Business Profits

90% of the people I know who are focused on building business profits think of doing most of the work themselves and the remaining 10% who have addressed leverage do so by hiring employees or virtual resources.  None of these options would allow me to achieve the business plan for Tampa Capital Partners.

I am a business coach and consultant.  My plan is to continue providing those professional services.  They help me continually expand my network of increasingly successful people.  “Your network is your net worth” as I have heard many times from JT Foxx is absolutely true.

As my network expands I see the key reasons for businesses success. Those are:

…a focused plan developed with an experienced coach. and

..taking action.

There are more factors however. with those two in place your chances of success are greater than 90%.

Do I have a coach? Absolutely!  That is the key action step I took going into 2011 and my mindset has shifted far beyond what I had imagined. JT has 5 coaches, including:  George Ross, Jay Abraham and  Nido Qubein. Everyone who works with JT, myself included benefits from the coaching he receives because he teaches us what he learns.  The sharing of what works is the number one benefit of the being coached when that coach has relevant experience for you.

Leverage Being The Key To Business Profits

I decided to aggressively develop Tampa Capital Partners.  I knew I needed resources to do that. I decided to use a pay for performance model since I was not interested in simply paying people for tasks. I intend to develop a team of people who are very success oriented and see the synergy that develops when the pieces and parts come together.

Not long ago I published an article in support of my idea of  the Tampa Capital Partners Apprentice Program Just weeks later as a result of networking for team members, there are six people being trained on detailed tasks that are required to build real estate property leads, evaluating deals , submitting offers and closing deals. All of this is progressing while I am often thousands of miles away for 3 or 4 days out of the week.

I am now beginning to coach select clients on how to develop their own apprentice model and soon I will be publishing specific examples of transactional success.

Action Steps

Get A Business Coach!

7 Figure Success in Less Than 1 Year

Near $0 One Year Ago…On Track To Make $1 million This Year

6 out 0f 10 People who  were at near $0 business profits in the spring of 2010 are now on track to net more than $1 million in 2011.  Quite honestly when I realized what was developing I looked very closely at the characteristics of this group.

The numbers are even more compelling since 2 of the 10 people were making six figures with their business when they started and now are on track to make multiple 7 figures.  80% of this group is on fire with their business performance.

What Are The Key’s To Their Success?

1.Each made a significant investment in coaching . In most cases they  have one or more coaches. In all cases I am their primary coach.

2. All follow the directions.  This means they follow the advice of their coach.  Each has their own style and each implement the professional business coaching advice they receive differently. However, each one implements the program developed with their coach.

3. There is a bias for action meaning they implement and get closure on key action steps.

4. Each measure return on investment of their time.

Are There Any Unique Educational or Work History Attributes?

Candidly everyone is different. Some had college degrees, others did not. Most had experience as an employee, some did not. I am not aware of anyone having come from a family with wealth. The only common denominator was a commitment to taking action on a success plan.

What Are The Primary Steps That Account For Their Success?

Considerable time is spent on developing an appropriate plan for their business success and an action plan for implementation. Then we monitor results and make adjustments.

What Have I Done Different As A Result of This Experience?

Hired a coach.

Are Their New Success Stories In Development?

Yes and I am beginning to see the time line to success shorten.

Social Media Synchronicity or A Blueprint For Building Profits With Social Media and Internet Marketing

There are many moving parts in the social media world and they are expanding exponentially as entrepreneurs and business giants develop tools capitalizing on the rapidly increasing numbers of people using social media resources to communicate and promote.

In 2009 I launched my first successful venture built entirely using social media resources. This means that I developed connections on key sites including Facebook, YouTube and Twitter. I built awareness of my business by delivering valuable free content with the promise of more in-depth information for those who joined my membership site. If you want to see how that works, register for my free course at Manifest Mastermind.

I did almost all the social media building myself with the help of some automated tools for growing Twitter followers. In doing that I realized how much work was involved in building a social media network the right way and concluded most people would not do it. I began and still advise business owners and managers to outsource this work as a lot of it was actually rather tedious. I realized the business opportunity and established the company New Digitial Media, Inc. The sole purpose is to develop a social media and internet marketing development funnel for you.

I now have nearly three years experience using social media sites and tools for the purpose of building an marketing funnel that results in attracting targeted clients and customers. This article presents the foundation tools I started using in 2008 which are as relevant today as ever. This article also contains my latest thinking on the tools that everyone should consider for a well founded on line marketing funnel using social media and internet marketing tools.

Synchronicity

I chose that word because I learned from Robert Ringer that optimal success long term occurs most frequently when all components are working well together. I have included Internet Marketing in the title and reference it here because at the core of Internet Marketing are websites and email autoresponders. These continue to be integral components to the on line marketing silo of a larger building profits program.  I teach the building profits foundation course to audiences across North America and use  the in-depth modules with my consulting and coaching clients.

The Blueprint

This is a brief  outline of The Online Marketing Blueprint. To include explanations at this point would result in a book. In fact I am writing The Book On Business Profits which will include details of the components of this Blueprint and a lot more. Register now at the quickly created by me without any graphics web page and you will receive bonus announcements plus text and audio samples of the book when it is released by the end of January.

The Blueprint Outline (non – diagram format):

Foundation Tools

Domain name that matches your business name (or at least close) Dot Com only
Website for branding
Wordpress based blog (not on WordPress.com) for building credibility and your list
Autoresponder Account

Foundation Social Media Tools

Facebook personal profile
Facebook business fan page (flow your articles and other relevant updates here)
Facebook group (only if you plan on being an active group leader)
Two Twitter accounts…one personal and one business. Use both for business
A LinkedIn account with a personal profile emphasizing your business
A YouTube account

The newest brand building tool you will soon here a lot more about is optional of course however, you should get started now with this. http://VideoTVTalk.com With this tool you can send branded email video messages, have branded webinars and on line meetings, your own branded TV site that can be pay per view if you want.  I am really excited about this and I am working on my branded email backgrounds and branded page for my videos now.  In the meantime Click Here to visit the site and check:  out the features and benefits.  One major benefit is that with your branded site and videos there is no advertisement or competitor diversions like we have with YouTube.   See my first example of a private label site. Note you will be able to tell I have not used a professional designer. This is my first presentation of a branded video website. It took be a several hours of playing around to get this done on top of the time for the video. What is really cool is that this will all continue to get better.  Click Here to check it out.

Note: Use Video TV Talk continue to use YouTube more about that in future articles and videos.

Local Search and Marketing

For most people, thinking in national or global terms for on line marketing is common. Local marketing seems to be confusing for many but it there are really few differences.  All the foundation tools and accounts are valuable for most local businesses.  The issue seems to be one of understanding. Local business owners often do not have the time to stay current with marketing opportunities and if they do then they do not have the time.

There is a huge opportunity for people to help local business with marketing. The problem with that is there are very few people who really understand market in relation to the number of businesses that need the help. So you have people promoting products and services to business owners who are not skilled and experienced.

I am beginning to recruit people who want to work with me and where I will show them the step by step process of how to introduce business profits building marketing to businesses and then coordinate the implementation with my company’s staff at New Digital Media, Inc. If you have an interest my contact information is below.

Return on Investment (ROI)

I only offer clients what they need to get started and make incremental profit.  Companies need to see an ROI before being asked to invest larger amounts.  With any business, including locally owned and operated businesses, a domain name and at least a basic website with contact information is essential. That way they can register as a company and come up on local search with engines like Google.  Once that is in place then I want to address ways to build traffic to the site, build a list and build business.

Call To Action

All companies want their on line visitors to do just one of the following:

Physical visit if the business is retail or retail services

Buy on line if the company has an ecommerce business

Call

Subscribe to the list

Social media marketing, internet marketing must lead to a call to action.  Now call me or email me and let’s discuss how we can work together.  All contact information follows.

Thank you,

Build Business Profits Success Stories: 1

Build Business Profits Success Stories are actual experiences of clients as a direct result of following the action steps developed as part of the coaching process. These are verifiable case studies and while the popular marketing technique is to publish testimonials, I consistently protect the confidentiality of all clients.

10 Times Increase in Net Income In One Year

When I asked the question as to the income this client expects to bank this year the answer was $300,000.  That is a very good number for an individual working from his basement office with one employee.  I already knew this was his first year working full time on this business and that he had been working part time on this business in the previous year.  He had no experience in this particular business (real estate investing) prior to two years ago.

I have been coaching him by phone for about 2 months and then we scheduled a day and half session on site at his office location.  During dinner the first day, I asked him to be prepared to finalize a game plan the next day for building his gross income next year to $6 million.  Now going from $300,000 to $6 million and actually a net closer to $3.5 million is quite a leap and I normally would not implement that aggressive of a plan with most clients.

This client was different. I already experienced his “action attitude”  he was in motion everyday on networking and deals that converted into a growing list of funding partners (people with money to put to work) and people sending him profitable deal opportunities.  He was successfully implementing the coaching guidance on focused networking.  He was and still is missing a management system for taking his business to the level I could see that was possible.

The number one issue anytime I work with client  on a model for increased revenue and profits is mindset.  If they don’t believe it there is nothing anyone can do or say that will turn the idea into reality.  In this case, there was not instant acceptance of my $6million plan.  However, he asked me how I arrived at that number and I told him.  He nodded his head and said alright “let’s do it”.

The exact strategy was developed the next day and included defining the niche markets he would pursue as well as the overall profit to be generated by each niche. That work resulted in him being able to see the results happening. It  became believable for him.

Will he achieve performance targets of this plan?  No….he will beat them.  Just two days later he text me at 6AM in the morning with “we need to talk”.  Close to 7 we were review an opportunity for  deal that has he potential for a for $500,000 profit before the end of this year.  In addition I looked at another deal with him yesterday and that one has a $500,000 potential by the end of this year if he flips it or an excellent rate of return if he keeps it.  I could go on but my point is this client has transformed himself into a deal and money magnet.  Does he have any special skills?  He is an effective communicator and he follows the direction of his coach.

The Link Between Dan Kennedy's Clarity and Steve Pohlit's Accelerated Accountability System

In Dan Kennedy’s most recent book “No B.S. Wealth Attraction In The New Economy”  Dan writes about Clarity. The first sentence of this chapter is “It’s instructive to ask business owners how much money they expect to receive today, tomorrow, next week.”  Dan delivers a no holds barred punch that most people go through life with no clear picture and plan of what they intend to accomplish and learn.

After reading Dan’s book including the section on Clarity, I realized just how well my Accelerated Accountability System supports the discipline of defining and tracking your progress in the area of business development. This particular system is one I fined tuned from my work as a consultant with a major firm, CFO of several large companies, entrepreneur and coaching well over 100 business owners.  I have taught this system to live audiences across the US and Canada.

Success Stories

This system is the one I use with all my coaching clients and is the tool that accounts for numerous success stories within in just months of beginning coaching. There are quite a few people who are making hundreds of thousands of dollars this year following years of making little or nothing.  Are they uniquely skilled? No they have a business with products or services that people want and they are following their coaching direction that includes daily use of the Accelerated Accountability System.

Surprise

Now you may be thinking there is a price attached to this system.  You may already be thinking that you would like to see how this works but money is tight right now so you probably won’t be able to afford it.  The following articles are free and the sample schedules on how to use this system are also free.  What is not free is your time that you will spend on doing this work.  However, you should receive a huge return on your time investment.

Articles: The Accelerated Accountability System Is All Three Steps

Step 1: Prepare An Executive Summary

Step 2. Build A Financial and Transaction Plan

Step 3: Fast Start To Success

Email Me: With Sample Schedules in The Subject Line. You must include your complete contact information. Full name, mailing address, description of your business and phone number.

Reality

The reality is most people will not do this work or if they do start it they will not continue. The exception is people who work with a coach. If you consider this a pitch for hiring me, you are right. I am accepting six new clients next for coaching that begins next week.  There are no long term contracts.  Coaching entrepreneurs and small business owners can usually be successfully done by phone.  For more information Email Me now and tell me about your business. Be sure to add Business Coaching in the subject line.  Include your complete contact information and I will schedule a 20 minute complimentary call to determine how we can work together for the benefit of your business. I only accept clients who I am confident I can help.

The Secret To Beating Business Profit Plans

“Steve, I am so grateful for how you have helped me understand my business and how to achieve profitable growth. “

…This comment is direct from one of my clients whose 2010 profits are on track to exceed plan by at least 50%. Exceeding plan by 50% is worth nearly $350,000. This is one very happy client and there are many more.

What is the one component that every successful client says is the reason they are achieving business profit goals?

The answer is consistently taking action on those areas of their business that make the most difference in growing business revenue and profits.

How do successful business owners and managers consistently guide their companies to outstanding profit performance?

Most have a business coach/mentor who guides them on remaining focused and holds them accountable for taking the right action.

When I look at the difference in business performance among the clients I coach it always comes down to taking directed action or not.

What does directed action mean?

Directed action is a sequential path of steps that achieves business revenue and profit goals.  It is common for business owners to actually be experienced in what to do but are not consistently implementing.  In other cases, they are taught what to do and always held accountable for taking action.

As a business consultant and executive coach with very valuable experience running companies owned by others as well as my own companies (click here for my resume) I know what works and even more importantly I know the mistakes most  make.

What is the number one mistake made by business owners and managers?

That mistake is thinking they are the only one who can do what needs to be done.  I am always working on the mindset with the people I coach of leveraging tasks that must be done and training them on effective leveraging of those tasks.  I address the mindset of the person running the company. In the case of businesses working with employees or contractors, we are consistently looking at ways to have everyone become more valuable by leveraging tasks to less costly people or technology.  Systems, meaning the way people work and the tools they use are the key to effective leveraging.

A Program That Fits Most Budgets

If you want to be successful with any business, work with an experienced business consultant/coach who will guide you to building business profits faster than you ever imagined.  I am an expert business consultant/coach. I have a program that will fit most budgets. Email me now and tell me about your business. Include your complete contact information and I will schedule a 20 minute complimentary call to determine how we can work together for the benefit of your business.
