christian running years
I'm a Christian. Years ago, I went broke, so I decided to run every part of my life according to the Bible. It sounds hokey, but it works. You run your marriage that way, and it works. It will work with business, too, and finances. Treat people like you want to be treated.
needs marketers materials
Anytime you open a business, you have to be effective in promoting whether it's a franchise or not. You'll need to learn to be a Web marketer extraordinaire. There's plenty of material out there.
hard-work passionate making-money
The only reason to go into business is to make money. You have to work hard at it. If you're not passionate about it, you'll burn out so fast that it is incredible.
home yellow looks
I can't tell you how many home businesses are almost in bankruptcy court over a Yellow Pages ad only to find out that the Yellow Pages ad isn't where their market will look for them, and it cost more than they thought.
successful giving guy
Instead of just purchasing an ad campaign, target test and measure. Give an ad a small try. If the response is enough to pay for the ad, make it larger. With a franchise, ask the most successful franchisees what they did. Ask the bottom five guys what they did and avoid it.
writing comfort expenses
The creature comforts we tend to rationalize as "business expenses I can write off."
done information inspired
What I have done is packaged the time-honored information into a process that is doable and has inspired millions to act on it.
team lines legends
Great talent stands in line to join your team because the culture becomes the stuff of legend.
book writing
I have to live my books before I write them.
choices today different
Where you are today is the sum of every choice you've ever made. If you don't like where you are, start making different choices!
excellence next steps
Just keep taking the next step and keep having excellence in the ordinary.
giving people scared
When people get scared, they quit giving.
paid
Work-get paid; don't work-don't get paid. Everybody is on commission
responsibility looks like-you
Leadership responsibility: If you own a biz, you're the head of the org. Good or bad, your company will LOOK and ACT like you do.
