The Magic Penny

By Alex Mandossian

My good friend, Darren Hardy is publisher of Success Magazine and best-selling author of the Compound Effect. This commentary post is the first of many I want you to comment and share with your colleagues and friends.

Darren writes: “If you were given a choice between taking $3 million in cash this very instant and a single penny that doubles in value every day for 31 days, which would you choose?

If you’ve heard this before, you know the penny gambit is the choice you should make—you know it’s the course that will lead to greater wealth. Yet why is it so hard to believe choosing the penny will result in more money in the end? Because it takes so much longer to see the payoff.

Let’s take a closer look.

Let’s say you take the cold hard cash and your friend goes the penny route. On Day Five, your friend has sixteen cents. You, however, have $3 million. On Day Ten, it’s $5.12 versus your big bucks. How do you think your friend is feeling about her decision? You’re spending your millions, enjoying the heck out of it, and loving your choice.

After 20 full days, with only 11 days left, Penny Lane has only $5,243. How is she feeling about herself at this point? For all her sacrifice and positive behavior, she has barely more than $5,000.

You, however, have $3 million. Then the invisible magic of The Compound Effect starts to [Read more…]

Discover the Power of Becoming Results-Oriented

By sbc

Most entrepreneurs are exhausted because they feel like they are busy all the time. They are keeping so many plates spinning at once and believe they must be doing well if they are so busy. And yet they are stunned to realize they are busy and tired and broke.

If you want boost your impact on others, as well as influence the outcomes of your personal and professional life, then start thinking in terms of achieving “results” instead engaging in mundane “activities.” Most entrepreneurial CEOs sacrifice their credibility when they confuse their activities with their accomplishments or “results.”

Any entrepreneurial CEO can instantly boost their credibility and track record whenever they engage in “results-centered” dialogues with their Teams or Vendors. Humor author Dave Barry once said “If we could identify one work in the English language that is responsible for our overall lack of progress that word would be “meetings.”

These kind of meetings are one of the main reasons we can feel busy, tired, exhausted and stressed out, and still be experiencing poor results.

Discover the Power of FAQ Templates to Capture More Online Sales

By Alex Mandossian

If you want to capture more online sales faster, better and with the least amount of human effort then I encourage you to develop FAQ templates.

What are FAQ templates? Well FAQ stands for Frequently Asked Questions. So FAQ Templates are templates that allow you to include frequently asked questions on your web sites, blogs, and other marketing communications.

Adding FAQ sections to your websites and other marketing communications are often your very best automated sales tools that consistently and repeatedly capture more sales by minimizing resistance.

Whatever your area of expertise, there are frequently asked questions by your prospects and even your members and customers. You discover these FAQs in at least 2 ways:

1. Pay attention to what your prospects and community is typically asking you, and

2. Ask them. Ask them what their questions are, what their biggest challenges are, what they struggle with the most.

Then provide both the questions and answers on your web sites and marketing messages and you have now answered new prospects questions before they have even asked them. This ups your perceived expert status and reduces sales resistance from the beginning.

Are You an Inventor Or Improver in Your Business?

By Alex Mandossian

“Never invent, always improve.”

This four-word sentence is indelibly etched in my mind right now. I also have that quote framed and hanging on the wall of my home office.

The marketing philosophy of choosing improvement over invention has generated millions of dollars for my info publishing business and my students’ businesses.

Although the idea of becoming an “Improver” is not as sexy as being known as an “Inventor,” it is improvement, not invention, that has generated billions for some of the most renowned Thought Leaders in history. Ironically, many of these folks have been inaccurately dubbed as “Inventors.”

Here’s one example: Nikola Tesla invented the modern alternating current electric power (AC) systems. Thomas Edison improved it. Telsa died broke. Edison died a millionaire.

Here’s another: Charles Haanel is the true “father of personal development” in my opinion. He invented The Master Key System, yet he died in obscurity acknowledged by only a few loyal followers. [Read more…]
