Building Business Profits Fast In The Real Estate Niche

Building Real Estate Business Profits Fast

Adapted from the book Building Business Profits Fast by Steve Pohlit and published in 2013 on Amazon, updated here based on new experiences.

My background briefly: Professional Speaker, CPA (inactive now) , MBA, Arthur Andersen (world’s largest public accounting, tax and consulting firm before being destroyed by Enron) , Financial Executive of three very large companies, Board Member, worked with very successful very well known business people and then I went into the entrepreneurial niche where I bought ans sold companies, started new companies and more. I have made a lot of money and lost a lot more. Making a lot of money is better. Losing resulted in me learning the most. With that it is better to follow my advice rather than experiencing those negatives yourself.

From my own experiences including being mentored by some amazing people, coaching hundreds of people and seeing the results, I feel I am well qualified to present these action steps. I honor your time and attention and my intent is to deliver extraordinary value.

Starting With An End Game Component In Mind

The end is where you have raised the funds and you close a deal. If it is a flip I am talking about closing on the sales side where your profit is made or not. If it is a buy and hold profit begins when the cash flow starts and meets your projections. If it is wholesaling then it is when you are paid for the assignment of the contract.

I recently did a video on how to do deals when you have no money. Actually the principles apply whether you have money or not. In most cases I am an advocate of partnering for money. Most deals get done with a combination of debt and equity. A seller financing deal is where the seller is the bank. Buy fix and flips, buy and hold, are usually always a combination of debt and equity or loans and cash. If you are wholesaling in any meaningful way you are likely to have developed a team to support you and they typically get paid when you make money.

To make any of this work you have to demonstrate your plan showing what is in it for the sources of money is worthwhile and secure. The sources of money have to have the confidence in your plan. For your plan to be worthwhile you need to have a strategy for what you are doing. You can network without a strategy and plan however the most you can do is build your list of possible lenders and equity partners for your deals.

I network all the time and have coached many people on how to do this effectively when you don’t have a specific deal to pitch. That is outside the scope of this article. Contact me if you want more information.

Back To The Beginning Step 1

If you want to Build Real Estate Business Profits Fast you decide to do that then make a commitment do follow what it takes to make that happen. This article gives you a lot of what is required to make that happen.

Step 1 Define the goal – Part of Deciding and Commiting is to be clear on a measurable outcome

Go deep inside and ask yourself what is the goal? In my experience everyone has the same goal but most do not know what it is. The goal is the same for everyone, but the details of what that picture looks like is different.

My friend Gary King author of The Happiness Formula also found on Amazon, has interviewed thousands of people at events worldwide and asked them why are you here? The answer in 100% of the cases was “to be more successful” He then asked what is success? The answer always was to have more money?

Today I am going to share with you the formula for making money fast in real estate. First it is important to let the following sink in: “more money is not success”. Being happy is success. Having more money so you can make a difference with something you are passionate about is in my view a major component of being happy.

More friends, more recognition, more of anything is not success. Being happy is success. I have never found that being selfish brings happiness. I have found that part of being happy is being healthy – having the energy to make a difference in whatever you decided to do.

Step 2 Your Why

I thought about making this Step 1 and realized most people can relate to specific goal setting and then begin to stumble when asked Why?

How to be clear on your Why.

Decide what you want to experience. Everyone wants to have experiences . Maybe your why is to create an account to fund your child’s education. Maybe you want to create assets that cash flow month after month that pays for the lifestyle you want and helps others. Maybe you want to build a big business that makes a huge footprint in something that you are passionate about. For me I have a very big why and it drives me every day.

You have to have a why and then your income goal needs to line up with your why. Key point if you think having the money, the car the house, the travel – whatever will make you happy I have a big surprise for you – learn to be happy now and you will then be happy later with those things. If you do not learn to be happy now, you will wake up with more stuff and not be happy.

Step 3 – Mindset and Skills

Once You Decide and Develop the Picture of The Life You are Intending to Experience (your ideal scene) that fuels your happiness then You devote time to self development work. Self development includes acquiring specialized knowledge and includes acquiring wisdom.

All of us are well served by specialized knowledge. In real estate we have Larry Harbolt, Pete Fortunato, Bill Cook and many others in who teach us specialized real estate knowledge. Then there are the authors and speakers that are popular nationally. Grant Cardone is a great teacher of sales and closing deals. Eric Worre, Randy Gage and others are great teachers on building teams. There are numerous teachers of principles that help us become a better person. Jim Rohn, Robin Sharma, Wayne Dyer, Mike Dooley, Neale Donald Walsch, Gary King and many others are great teachers..

Get Podcasts on your phone, subscribe to YouTube videos. There are many resources to help you and the majority of those very valuable resources are free. Select what resonates with you. Select those that address what is blocking you. You must invest in yourself every day. Invest in yourself and take directed action otherwise you will become stuck. Journal your ideas, progress and set backs.

Be aware of getting stuck. In Chapter 4 of my book I address what is the major block for all of us – fear. If you look at where you have allowed fear to creep in Go back to your resources that you use for self improvement area of self development. The better you become the more confidence you have. Invest in becoming better. If you really are stuck because of fear, contact me and I have other suggested resources to help you. Recomended resources are free unless you want to be coached.

I go to a lot of networking events. The more I connect with people the better I am at communicating what it is that I am developing. Recently I started using Facebook Live to get out more messages because people do not read like they used to. So I take those feeds and upload them to YouTube. I populate them to other social media sites. That is leverage of my time. It is also me practicing being in front of people. I will be much better at that 6 months from now than I am today.

When I was on stage in front of hundreds of people all the time and on the radio interviewing several well known celebrities every month, I got good at it. I have not done that for about 4 years. I am dusting off the cob webs now.

Last Wednesday I went to an event which was the launching of the New Thought Channel on Internet TV. I listened to a lady who described herself as an entrepreneur and in the 5 minutes she had described how years ago she put the box CSO at the top of her organizational chart.

Every morning she has a structured meeting with her CSO She details the steps for this meeting in her book The Path To Wealth: Seven Spiritual Steps For Financial Abundance. I went to Amazon and downloaded the Kindle version – I think it was $9.95 and have been having my own meeting now every morning and I really feel good about it. What do you think CSO stand for? Include your answer and any questions in the comment section below.

Step 4 What is it that you are passionate about doing?

In the real estate niche there are many different transactions. Realtors, wholesalers, flippers, buy and hold, commercial multi-family, etc I started 3 buy fix and flips in January of 2015 I had a plan to do about that many each month. I stopped and 3 and that is all I did.

I have done about 10 flips total in my real estate career and each one was stressful. I stopped. I connected with some people and I now know the deep discount single family home model and really like it. It is small business for me and my goal is to make it a lot bigger.

I got a call in October last year to look at another business and it shifted my focus almost immediately as I realized what the system is doing for people’s health .

I was at monthly REIA meeting last year and learned real estate niche that is not widely known. I am quietly looking at developing that model. While networking for real estate deal funding I met a guy who started helping me with my plan to raise larger amounts of money. Outside of that goal, he connected some dots and we now are offering an opportunity for residual income long term secured by real estate with very exciting returns.

I have learned how to be smarter about what I am doing in areas I am passionate about. Higher returns, money well secured and very low risk is how I define smarter.

What is it that you are passionate about? Start with that now compare that life, your ideal scene, to where you are today. If you are making $3,000 a month now and you want $20,000 a month or $1 million a month you need to define how you are going to build that. It is not going to happen if you have not defined it. It is also not going to happen if you have not defined it by month, by week and depending on your business, by day. If you are a wholesaler and you average $3,000 a deal and you want to make $15,000 a month. How many deals do you have to do? 5 How many a week ? About 1

Step 5 Once you define your financial targets in increments that make sense then you need an action plan that will hit those targets. Larrry Harbolt recently posted on Facebook the reminder that we have to make offers, intelligent offers. Bill Cook has been encouraging people to door knock and make offers.

All of that advice and more is about taking action. What action is required? It depends on the deal. Is it a buy and hold, are you looking to fix and flip, are you wholesaling at deal. One wholesaler I know fairly well has his stats on how many letters he needs to mail each month to get the number of deals he wants. It is a very accurate statistic and he works that system all the time. He is successful with it.

I promote the opportunity of owning income producing houses. Do you have to make an offer? No you just have to flow the purchase price into escrow until we get the deed and note transferred to the name you want. That is easy and yields 15% net. Do you want even higher returns? I have two other business models that will yield excellent returns. One is an opportunity to build your own multi-million business fairly quickly. The other is an income producing opportunity secured by real estate Are you interested in knowing more? Contact me – all my contact information is at the end of this email.The point is you got to have an action plan designed to hit your income targets.

Step 6 Measure the actual results vs plan.

If you want to do 3 flips that average $25,000 net to your bank in 12 months then you need to have deals the pipeline and I would recommend wholesaling the ones that you find that a good but where you do not have the capacity to do yourself. If you want to do 6 or more flips, you will need a team and systems to make that work. Whatever you choose to do there is a plan of action that needs to be implemented and actual results for each step in the plan need to be compared to plan

This is the basis for the Gold Formula that is an entire chapter in my book. I called it The Gold Formula because once you have a plan and you measure the actual results vs. the plan you get a variance. If the variance is positive great keep doing what you are doing. If you put up 25 bandit signs and you get no leads that convert into deals you must change something, Maybe you should be door knocking, working more closely with wholesalers, sending letters to houses in probate, bidding on the bank owned property list – if something isn’t working you got to change what you are doing. Back to the sign example – maybe it is your message. Are you testing messages on your signs?

This is a birds eye view of the process with enough detail to help you move forward builind a business and not just doing transactions.

I Can See Clearly Now! That is the title of a book by the late Wayne Dyer who is one of my favorite mentors. What I am seeing clearly now is the path to a ten million dollar business and more materializing in the next 18-24 months. Some may not desire to have a business of that size, some may want an even larger business. Regardless I can show you how this is practical and possible regardless of your background.

Success Mastery: Over Deliver – The Gift – For You

The Success Formula

To experience what you want is a direct connect to how many people you help get what they want. Notice I did not write need. Of course this is not an original thought. Zig Ziglar is credited with this but I can assure it goes back thousands of years.

Here are some recent examples:

The Rolling Stones are on tour again now. Do you think they need more money? Do you think that maybe they get the most satisfaction from knowing they can get 10s of thousands of people going nuts just by them walking on stage. Do you think those guys would have lived this long with their lifestyle if they were not in total bliss with who they are and how much joy they bring people.

I am friends with several spiritual leaders. Two of them have moved on to more non religious ventures. I know quite a bit about each of them. I know that one was on national TV every week I know he was in demand on international stages. And I know that was very prosperous for him. The others and many others like them are just as good if not better. However they did not touch as many people.

Bob Burg in his book Go Givers addresses the income of a celebrity vs a teacher. The income is not about the value of what they do, it is about how many people you touch and not only reach them but give them what they want. Please get the point as I am not saying teachers are fairly or unfairly paid. I am saying teachers cannot be paid $10 million a year and rock star or movie star can be paid that much and more. Now you know why.

The Law of Reciprocity

I first learned this in the book The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity by Katherine Ponder. To this day this is the best book I ever read on being prosperous. In fact if I were to start again at the moment I studied this book I would not have looked for anything else. The prosperity formula is all there. I am intending to meet this woman before either one of us steps into the Universe from where we come. This Law of Reciprocity is simply what you send out comes back to you.

I Didn’t Know

I published my gift that I am about to share with you with a small paragraph on Facebook and LinkedIn this week Then I thought about being able to share it more including my email contacts and other social media sites. I decided to add The Gift to an article and this is what I am doing. However I never intended at the start to write all that I have written. I am mentioning this because my fingers are moving in response to inspirational thoughts. I thought when I started this article would be really short. I mention this because there is another illuminating point which is “pay attention to the messages you are intended to receive” I know I was intended to write more as I look back on this and now I say to you if you are reading this far you are intended to get this message and The Gift

Success Mastery – How To Access Amazing Resources To Advance Your Skills Part 1

Achieve Your Goals With A Proven Process for Success

Mentoring Is Part of The Lives of Every Successful Person

Without exception, every person I have ever met or listened to who is achieving success both financially and personally attributes their accomplishments to expanding their specialized knowledge, having one or more mentors and taking purposeful action.

Throughout my career, I have spent six figures on books, seminars, audio programs and coaching. I personally know a number of business owners and one leader in the political arena who tell me they have spent close to half a million dollars on mentoring and related training programs. Those kind of numbers are out of reach for most people.

Kris Krohn, Steve Pohlit, Kalenn Krohn — Kris Krohn, Steve Pohlit Kalenn Krohn

Earlier this year, Strongbrook, a Utah based company that has its roots in turnkey real estate niche launched their Mentoring Division This is a result of Kris Krohn’s recognition of how important mentoring has been to his success as the founder of Strongbrook and with his family and friends. He decided to offer great programs at a very affordable price $99 a month. Currently there is more than $100,000 of content that has been loaded into the Mentoring Vault.

There Is A Mentoring Program For Just About Any Area of Professional and Personal Development

This article begins to highlight some or the material in the vault. Note: the programs being made available are expanding weekly and more am more influencers are uploading their best content to the vault IF you or someone you know has great material in written and audio/video format and wants to know more about being a contributor then please call me Steve Pohlit at 727-587-7871 I am happy to discuss the ease of getting started and the value for people making content contributions.

There Is One More Very Important Point Before I Give You A Peak Behind The Curtain

For every person who becomes a member of Strongbrook’s Mentoring Division for $99 a month, Strongbrook gifts a membership to a disadvantaged person. This is huge and is already beginning to make a difference in the lives of many people. Once you begin I will also help you see how this entire program can easily be FREE.

Peeling Back The Curtain of The Strongbrook Mentoring Vault

The following are some of the categories currently available in the Stongbrook Mentoring Vault

Sales and Marketing

The quantity is only relevant for you to the extent you map out your own self-development program that helps you where you need it most. Otherwise you will be in the “shinny penny syndrome” where you chase the next new program to come out. You will not expand that way plus you will be unbalanced with your research and training vs implementing. I will help you when you Join Here

2015 Business Development and Profit Growth Strategy

In my book Building Business Profits Fast I detail the importance of having a clearly defined goal that is measurable and has a very specific timeline for achievement. In an article posted on this site near the beginning of this year I presented the one element most often missing for success. Click Here for a refresher on that article That missing component is actually the theme of an entire book that I have been frequently mentioning which is Consious Creator by Kris Krohn. His book is the foundation of the newest division of The Strongbrook Group named The Consious Creator Mentoring Network which I joined as soon as I learned about it.

I consistently look for resources that will further expand my insight to goal achievement in all areas of my life. Very recently I published a report on a book by Bob Burg titled The Go-Gifter and how that is now further influencing my thinking and actions as I link The Five Laws of Stratospheric Success with the six laws of Conscious Creating in the book Conscious Creator.

All of these resources and more are influencing the clarity of my business and personal growth strategy for 2015. I am outlining that for you here with the omission of my business profits targets and non- business targets. As we near the end of the first quarter of 2015 I have already made adjustments to the measurable targets I set at the beginning of the year. At this point I am keeping those confidential except to share them with my mentors.

Primary Goal: Financial Independence – this means monthly income that comes in whether I am working or not exceeds my operating expenses plus reserves. Income whether I am working or not is called residual income and I have built a gradient scale for this residual income near term target that then increases from that point. My strategy to achieve that goal is to develop businesses that I am passionate about and that bring the most value to others considering my skill set. The following are the components of this strategy:

Real Estate Investment:

My focus is on acquiring distressed properties, renovating them and reselling them. This buy fix and flip model provides a desirable home for a retail buyer and enhances the neighborhood and community.

Real Estate investment that yields positive residual cash flow: I am using my affiliation with the investment and entrepreneur divisions of The Strongbrook Group to achieve this objective.

Health and Wellness:

The following are two companies I am excited about that I am looking to also be a source of residual income. At the very least I a will personally benefit tremendously from the products.

I am in the process of converting all the household and personal use products to totally healthy and environmentally save formulas. The company I have chosen is Melaleuca Their amazing product line is very affordable and they offer incredible incentives to learn about and use the products. Ask me how you can be paid $100 just for watching videos about the company and products.

Personal health and wellness transformation: I have done several of these programs in the past and now I am embarking on another one with the products of a company that uses no processed foods. That is a 10 day program with a 20 days continuity program following. I was offered a $50 gift card to try this program and the company offers a 100% guarantee for 60 days. I am now encouraging others to join me and will gift anyone interested a $50 gift card like I received. Click Here for details.

One of my favorite product line is healthy coffee and tea by Organo Gold. I enjoy coffee and tea and once I understood the powerful benefits of the Chinese herb Ganoderma Lucidem I changed from the brand I had been drinking for many years and now only use Organo Gold. Click Here for more information.

Personal Development is a high priority for me. As member of Strongbrook’s Mentoring Network, I already see tremendous resources being loaded into their vault .

I am using Send Out Cards for thank you cards, appreciation cards and of course holiday and special event cards I absolutely love Send Out Cards. I create my own using pictures I file when I see one I like or at times pictures I take myself along with a personalized message for the recipient.

I will continue to offer my professional services as a business development and real estate investment coach. The most economical way to benefit from my experience that includes successfully coaching hundreds of companies and entrepreneurs is to join one of more of the companies I am in that I have listed here.

I am continually looking at ways to improve the marketing and implementation systems related to my strategy. I am being advised my a major internet and direct marketing expert on how to jump start the business building components of my strategy. One of the five laws in The Go-Giver book is The Law of Compensation. Very simply the more people you serve the larger your income. Systems are needed to serve large numbers of people.

In conclusion for now – I have a financial independence plan that I am working. I am strongly advising you to have your own plan based on your passions then work the plan in order to realize your goals.

Success Mastery: The One Thing Most Miss In The Goal Achieving Blueprint

To achieve your goals in the new year the following should be in place now because if you wait until January you will have lost part of the year. You must be ready out of the gate on January 1.

Steps….the first four are probably not new for you.

Decide now how much money you want to make in 2015

Decide what you are going to do to make that money

Detail the action steps required everyday week and month required…note there is a complete management by statistics process that is part of my coaching process that virtually guarantees successful results when it is followed.

Measure the key statistics that tell you your progress and variance from plan…ask me about The Gold Formula tm This is also detailed in one chapter of my book Building Business Profits Fast

What Is Missing From This Blueprint?

Here is the most important part of what you need to do that if you do it will virtually skyrocket your success in the new year….

YOU

What do you need to become in order to achieve the goals that you are setting for yourself and your business in the New Year? Seems obvious but few are focused on this point. Will you be well served by:

Being healthier

Having more energy

Increasing your specialized knowledge

Being a better networker, friend, leader

What else – you know what is missing. Confront it!

Remember this: everyone who is successful reaches their goals without one or more mentors or coaches. I have new programs that not only guarantee results but are priced based on those results.

Another reminder from an earlier article on goal setting from Grant Carbone’s book 10x

Grant expanded my thinking and added fuel to the tank so to speak. One example will illustrate: Let’s say you have a goal to make $8,000 per month. You take action but fall short by 50%. So your results are $4,000.

What if you had set your goal at $80,000 and fell short by 50%? I think you see the point. The related message is with a 10x goal you would be more focused and aggressive with your actions. Of course there is a lot more to it and I am really happy my coach gave me the assignment to read this book and do all the exercises.

————————————————–

Special Offer: 1 complimentary coaching call plus one call a week for 6 weeks -7 calls total. I have priced this to be affordable for nearly everyone and if money is your issue I am open to a JV. Start now and in one month or less you will see results guaranteed!

Call me now 727-587-7871

Here is a refresher on the 5 Actions I mentioned in a previous article

5 Actions That Will Improve Your Business and Your Life Today

Step 1 Clearly define the outcome in measurable terms.

Step 2 Develop a plan of action to achieve the outcome

Step 3 Define milestones for achievement. Often in business those are quarterly and monthly. Quarterly and monthly milestones are not enough. What milestones need to be achieved today to bring you closer to your goal. These milestones or targets need to be measurable.

Step 4 The Gold Formula tm is my simple measurement of monitoring the variances from your actual plan. Actual minus Plan = Variance. The variance is gold because it tells you what to do. You cannot have a variance unless you have a plan and measure actual results against the plan. Today we are graphing key statistics. The graphs tell us the condition and then we are able to apply the formula for success based on the condition. Management by Statistics is the single biggest enhancement for performance in business and life that I have learned.

Step 5 Enjoy the process and continually refine your targets

These five steps are the foundation for how I work and how I coach. They are the reason I can offer my Results Guaranteed Coaching Program By the way I have a coach that holds me accountable and I am very grateful for him.

New Step 6

Who is the person you need to become in order to experience the goals that your are setting? Define and develop a program to enhance and expand those personal attributes.

Why I Recommend Real Estate Investing and Network Marketing To Those Who Want To Be Entrepreneurs

In a one hour movie recently released by Eric Worre, he interviewed some very well know experts. Harry Dent talked about the true level of the debt owed by the US and the number is staggering and scary. Robert Kyosaki showed the dramatic negative trends in food stamps, college graduate incomes and student loans. Most of these statistics I was aware of except for student debt which is now over $1 trillion and if you declare bankruptcy you still own student loans. So people are going into more debt to get more education. What is the result, lower paychecks than in the past.

Don’t misread this. My daughter is a doctor. She would not be a doctor without the education and the support of the student loan program. Our society needs medical professionals, scientists, teachers and other professionals who need to be qualified by our university and special education systems. However, the vast majority of people entering higher education are not seeing the likely outcome clearly and will be well served by taking a look at the economic reality of our world today.

All interviewed by Eric in this movie were in support of the message that it is harder and harder for many people to feel confident about earning a living at a level where they are not worried about their bills. The days of being able to count on a 40 hour a week job that provides an acceptable level of income for a lot of people are long gone. Technology is advancing at a rapid pace and often makes a well established business or industry obsolete. Look at what happened to the majority of book stores in the last decade. Look at the market share shift in the last decade because of companies like Apple, Google and others. Do the research on the amazing number of companies that were once very commonly known in America are out of business.

With those trends which are not very bright, people still need a place to live people need products and services. That leads me to the two industries that get my vote for where more people should be paying attention. Those are real estate investing and network marketing. Network marketing is often referred to as direct sales or multi-level marketing.

The reasons I like both of these industries the best for people thinking about being in business for themselves are:

1. Very little money is required to learn the businesses
2. There is plenty of evidence of people making good money in those industries
3. The training is outstanding and most of it is relatively low cost or free.

Let’s look at training for example. If you select the right network marketing company and sponsor, the training is amazing. In real estate it is true you do not need your own money or credit for deals. However, because of the dollar size of the transactions you are well served by being mentored by one or more people who will help you and JV with you as you get started.

Cost of entry: In real estate you can get started for about $1,000. It is better if you have $5,000 to $10,000 because there are some programs that cost money that will really help you get to a faster start. However with about $1,000 for gas and a few other supplies you can get started. I know of people who make $3-$5000 checks in their first month. Is that typical – I would say yes for the people following the directions and devoting more than 20 hours a week to the business. In Network Marketing you can get started with most companies for $250-$500. If you work hard you can begin to make money your first month. I have met people who make over $20,000 in their first three months. I don’t think that is typical.

What is the one skill you must have as an entrepreneur? In my view it is the skill of being able to get past rejection. There is one sure fire way getting past being rejected – set really high goals and be relentless on following them with the guide of a very experienced mentor and team.

Now you have my vote and why. What is yours and why. I welcome your comments.

Almost Always There Is Just One Barrier To Massive Positive Breakthrough In Your Business

What is your barrier?

Sales
Capital
Team
Systems
Experience
Knowledge

The answer will depend on what stage your business is at. In the real estate investing business, I have devoted a substantial amount of time to understanding the components of a successful transaction. I coach and implement the principles of networking in person and on line.

Early on my barrier was understanding and then finding good deals. Then my barrier was matching up actual performance with projections and figuring out why there were some major variances. Now that I have been through that learning curve, the number one barrier to explosive profitable growth is equity deal partners.

Once clearly defined, my focus goes to work on breaking through that barrier. This is a very important point I am sharing: you must define what is most important today for achieving massive profitable growth. Otherwise you won’t focus on it and if you don’t focus on it you will not solve it.

How am I breaking through this barrier?

1. Acknowledgement – writing about the barrier is part of acknowledgement

2. Confront – this is an issue so what is my plan of action including a clear definition of what an equity deal partner means

3. Define and Implement An Action Plan – in summary, step up the communication of my goal, in person and wherever I am visible including on line.

4. Be Clear As To The Benefits for An Equity Deal Partner – that is part of my communication strategy

With that let me begin with this: We (my team) are looking to work with a strategic equity deal partner. The partner should have direct access and decision making authority over $10 million minimum. This partner can expect to participate in real estate deals where the annual rate of return on their investment is projected to be 40% or higher. In most cases the return will be much higher.

An equity deal partner participates in most deals with a lender. Lenders are always first secured. However, our equity deal partner will only be presented deals where there is a substantial profit opportunity which means their equity will be well secured by the underlying asset.

That is part of my message. You can see where I am headed with this.

The Fastest Way To Move Forward Is By Working With A Mentor Who Has The Experience Breaking Through Barriers

I have several mentors and I assure you they are very important in my life. Am I the right coach for you? I would not know until we explore that idea.

I Am A Victim Thinking Will Not Bring The Desired Results

If you believe there are shortages of opportunities and wealth, then that is what you are going to experience. Do you think Google or Facebook thinks there are limits on building wealth? What about Apple and the turnaround story of Starbucks? Have you looked at what Koty Batemen has done with Send Out Cards? The people behind these success stories were not born into those successes.

I don’t know about you but nearly every week I see some story about people criticizing the Top 1%, promoting much higher minimum wage is the answer or how government should be doing more. All of that is the thinking of victims. There is nothing stopping nearly any of us from experiencing all of what we want.

I a previous article I presented my expanded success formula. In a nutshell we are well served by setting much bigger goals and taking massive action to achieve them. Click Here for that article that also includes my five steps to success formula.

Success Mastery: Revenue and Profit Momentum

Do you know your business statistics? In my career I have learned the importance of tracking the numbers. Measurement of actual vs. plan is critical to success. Two years ago I learned a graphing technique and how to interpret what the graph is telling you. I thought I knew. i did not know.

If you do not have positive momentum with all your key stats your are standing still or worse going backwards. Many miss the foundation stats that make all the difference. If you would like me to help you take a look, check out the following information.

Tampa and USA Business Coaching and Consulting Success

I am often asked what is my definition of success. My response is always the same and is one word – Results. I extend this discussion to the importance of health and relationships.

Without good health and energy relationships and money mean nothing as you won’t be able to enjoy them. For these reasons when I work with clients and deal partners, we start with a measurable outcome as the target. As you might expect, that is the money focus or in the business world it is the focus on building profits. Be sure to check out my book Building Business Profits Fast on Amazon.

There cannot be a business success story focusing only on business results. The relationship has to be there. The authenticity has to be there. Even the Results Guaranteed Coaching program I founded will not stand up if there the person or company I am working with has a hidden agenda.

In summary when the goal is clear and measurable and the relationship is authentic, the results will most often exceed rational expectations.

Success Mastery: There Is One Thing At The Foundation of All Success In Business and Life

That one thing is a clear definition of what success in business and life means to you. Once defined in measurable terms then every day you can measure the progress toward those ideal scenes. The measurement results in a condition or state of progress or lack of progress. With that defined there are very specific formulas you can apply to move to higher levels of experience and outcomes.

This applies to business and to your life.

How To Achieve Your Goals and Be Happy Along The Way

Most of us have heard the words to the effect “it is about the journey and not the destination”. That can be really challenging to accept when you can clearly see the destination and it seems to be very distant. Here is the key – one step at a time in the direction of your intended outcome with you being passionate about the outcome.

I have a client who has a retail business. He bought this business and he was comfortable with what to do because he had worked in the business for a number of years before having the opportunity to buy it. My job was to help him advance his skills in running a business. The measurement of project success is higher revenue and profits.

Well into the coaching program, he told me he really didn’t like the products that he sold. With that energy or lack of energy he was not doing the fundamental steps of an owner. I asked him that if he sold or closed down this business what would he do. He said another business selling products or services to customers. I then showed him how everything we were working on was needed to be done in any business. I further advised him that the best exist strategy was to strengthen the business results since that is how he would get the best purchase price for the company.

Today his sales are becoming increasing stronger and he has renewed energy for the business. What happened? First he started tracking key statistics. That alone often will result in business increasing. As business began to pick up he began to see new opportunities for creative display and pricing of product. He started spending more time himself with customers and got more ideas. So instead of continuing to spiraling downward, the trends reversed. Today he installing new systems software and implement several important marketing action plans.

The product line didn’t change. What changed was how he viewed the business and what he was learning about running any business that he decided to go into. Actually he is looking to add a new location and add a new product line that will appeal to his existing customer base.

How did he move to being happy about what he was doing? 1. He began to see the opportunities with the business that he had 2. He began following very clear advice and experienced positive results. Where is he on goal achievement? When we started like I do with every client we agreed on what would be the measure of success for the coaching program. Right now as a rate of sales, he is beating that goal.
