Recently I was reading the latest copy of Entrepreneur magazine. In it was an article by Barry Farber entitled "It's Always Your Lucky Day". This article basically shared tips on "creating your own luck every day". Although I don't believe in things happening because of luck, I do believe that you can do things that will help create opportunities for success, and so this is what I took Farber's tips to be.
- Charm 'em – Each day when run in to people who have the ability to make a decision. It is our responsibility to leave a great mental picture of ourselves and our companies on their minds. When meeting such ones, it is important to have an enthusiastic and positive attitude.
- Steer clear of situations that cause you to waste your time – Qualify your prospects quickly.
- If someone is doesn't see your value and has an issue with your price then that is not the customer for you.
- If you spend a great deal of time on particular clients projects yet don't see the return on your investment; let them go.
- People who don't really have the opportunity to benefit from your product or service.
- If someone is doesn't see your value and has an issue with your price then that is not the customer for you.
- Visualize success – Live your vision everyday. Live as if you already are where you want to be. Look, the part, act the part, dress the part. Change your mind set. If you can see it, it can be.
- Be different and daring – What separates you from your competition? How can you create unique products and services for your customer? Of these other things you can be doing to get their attention?
You must set boundaries for yourself and your business in order to attain success. Most importantly, you must see that it is within your reach. These four tips, if done correctly can help you create opportunities to grow your business.
