Signs of Success!

That is what I keep praying for. Finding some kind of standardized recipe, for lack of a better word.

I quit smoking back in August of 2002. There was a site that helped me quit cold turkey by telling me before quitting, what I needed to do before quitting and then then once you start, from Day 1, exactly what was happening and what to do. Quitting was so easy. (I had failed many times before.)

However, today, that same Quit Smoking website has complicated the process with too much information. Today, you can't find the simple Quit Smoking Blueprint.

So I'm with you. I would give my right arm to find that. I've come close, but still in the process and too early to assess.

Often it's not the steps that keep people from being successful but rather the persistence and dedication to putting that plan into action until success is achieved.

Roughly speaking, you can follow a 6-week plan that looks something like this:

Week 1: Get it crystal clear why you MUST succeed with your own business and what you want out of it (money - but for what? Control of your time/energy? Prestige? Ability to help and serve others? etc...) Also in this week, you want to decide (in alignment with this first exercise) what market you will tackle, what the biggest desires/needs are taking an initial look at solutions that are already out there

Week 2: You develop your unique angle on tackling your market. What desire/need have you chosen to address and why you will be perceived as different/better. Along with that, how will you go about reaching your market? What is your chosen method of communication - written, video, audio, other?

Week 3: Develop a content plan for the next 2-weeks...develop content each day. Start your own blog and depending on your chosen optimal content format, you pick a platform (Youtube, Facebook, Periscope - you will leverage this content across dozens of platforms eventually, but choose which one suits you best for developing content fastest/easiest). This week you want to begin your product development or search (if you will sell someone else's products)

Week 4: Heavy on the product development and setup 4 key website pages (main sales page, opt-in landing page, download page, thank you pages + future potential of additional offers). Maintain your content production to at lest one new content piece each day

Week 5: Complete your product and any incentives/bonuses you require for your sales funnel, your intro product and bonuses. Lots of tips on this - but too much to add here. Start testing your sales funnel by moving your leads from your blog into sales funnel - can test with paid ads if you can afford $20/day FB ad budget

Week 6: Send out review copies of your product to potential partners/affiliates/jv's as you prepare for your launch. Get input, reviews, case study content and endorsements as well as initial affiliates who will send you traffic on opening day. Your sales page must be finished and ready to test as you are now putting initial traffic through your sales funnel and beginning to guage ROI on all pages.

At this point you are ready to launch your product - you may take an additional 1-2 weeks to prepare a more advanced launch campaign - but you are ready to roll and begin to see some sales come in.

From there, you will spend the next 6-12 months building a brand and attention to really blow your business up.
