One Concept That Can Take Your Business To A Whole New Level...
Posted 08-16-2010 at 04:58 PM by Joseph Ratliff
"XYZ Affiliate Network doesn't pay on time..."
"Mr./Mrs. Guru won't help me..."
"Man, I wish my vendors delivered as promised..."
I'm a BIG proponent of self-accountability.
This is an enormous hot button for me...I throw up in my mouth almost every time I hear the whining, moaning, groaning, and complaining about what goes wrong, who does it wrong...and why there aren't any shortcuts to make business so easy you can operate it from an armchair.
So it's time to deliver the big concept that will change all of that, so you can have and enjoy all the perks of an business.
Ready?
You have to turn your business into a magnet.
No, not the kind you stick on the kitchen refrigerator, the kind that attracts the right people, resources, and energies to your business.
In simpler terms, you have to build a business that is bigger than yourself...you can't be the centerpiece of your business. Instead you have to separate yourself from your business...and you have to build a business that people enjoy interacting with...and want to support.
You are part of that plan, no doubt about it...but the business and the vision behind it MUST be worth supporting in the first place.
You build a business that the affiliate network takes notice of, and gives preferential treatment to...
...a business that a successful business person will notice, and want to work with you sharing resources towards success for both of you (not just you, Mr. Greedy)...
...a business that vendors (website designers, copywriters, etc...etc...) take notice of and pay extra special attention to...
But the hard part of all of this is...you have to build and create the vision that drives this type of business.
In your actions every day, make yourself an "easy to get along with" person (if you aren't already)...try to help other people when you can (like I do with content and Skype chats from time to time)...in essence...
Try to be what other whiny, moany, groany affiliates aren't...you and your business have to be a magnet.
Even if you're not the "extreme" example of the person I point to in this post...I'm sure you can think of several ways to improve starting now.
Think about it today.
