When The Student Is Ready The Teacher . . .
An ancient Chinese proverb says that, "When the student is ready the teacher will appear." Well that may be true but it can also be flipped.
When the teacher is ready, he may learn from his students.
That happened to me yesterday. Actually it happened twice. Two newsletter subscribers sent me an e-mail after seeing the following in my letter:
"I can't help but chuckle a little when I compare the willingness of 105 entrepreneurs to invest $1.1 million to the reluctance of 99.3% of my mailing list to invest $19.95 for a book which is designed to help you to become rich."
I was trying to make a point and did a poor job of it.
Both subscribers, in essence, said the same thing in different ways and boy did I ever learn a valuable lesson from it. They both asked, Why should I buy your book, "The Science Of Getting Rich For Salespeople And Entrepreneurs?"
Duh - Hello - isn't it obvious?
They're right! It's never obvious to a potential customer. Think about it, I know I am, it's Selling 101 and a huge sales tip for you. You gotta give people reasons why they should buy your products. You gotta tell your potential customers how they will gain and benefit from your products.
You can slap me silly because I deserve it. With 16,895 subscribers, however, please don't all do it at the same time. I learned from my mistake and I hope you can learn from it to.
People have desires that need to be fed and they have fears they want to eliminate.
This student is going to switch roles for a minute.
When you have some time, five or ten minutes, sit in a chair in a quiet place.
Take a few deep breaths, inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your mouth. Now think about your life and think how you want it to be.
Think about your financial position. What would you like it to be. Would you like to have a substantial Net Worth? Would you like to be able to finally make your last mortgage payment?
Would you like to be able to send your kids to the best Universities without having to take out any loans? How would you feel if you had ZERO debt? That's right zippo debt!
Keep thinking about what you want out of your life. Imagine being able to retire in style and comfort. Would you like a bigger home? Would you like a cottage on a lake or a spectacular home on a golf course? Would you like a luxury car or even a boat?
Would you like to be able to write big checks to your favorite charities?
Would you like to live a longer and healthier life - right who wouldn't?
Would you like to leave a sizable estate to your family and favorite charities?
Do you crave recognition? Do you want more physical power, spiritual power, and even more mental power?
As you crystallize your thinking try to create a vision of a better life for you and your family.
You know of course, wishing and dreaming can't make these things happen.
Here's what can . . .
If you want a better life for you and your family, here's how you can take a first step to getting everything you want.
"The Science Of Getting Rich For Salespeople And Entrepreneurs" is an eBook that gives you a Certain Way you can follow to convert your dreams into your reality.
It's working for me and I know it can work for you . . .
