Who is Supporting Your Success

From: Christine Harvey, Author - In Pursuit of Profit, International Best Seller in 8 Languages

Dear Friends,

Having trained over 100,000 people in the US, Europe and Asia, I’ve found one thing in common among all of us. The astounding truth is that we usually know WHAT to do to reach our goals - but getting us to do it – that’s another thing altogether!


Let me ask you this... Which dreams have you put on the back burner?

If you were to achieve them, how would you feel about yourself?

I ask that because, research shows that our happiness is directly proportional to the speed we’re moving toward our goals.

So where do you stand on reaching your goals and dreams?


What if you had guaranteed support - reaching your most audacious goals? What if you had a guaranteed system of support that would give you the extra push to success at last? AND...what if your fondest dream or biggest lifetime goal only took 12 weeks to achieve?


That’s exactly what happened to our recent group of Prosperity Team™ graduates. Many had HUGE goals that would take most people two years to reach - if at all!

    - One person wanted to start a totally new business with 10 high-paying clients. She had no clients and no experience in that field, but she did it!

    - Another wanted to increase personal income by $2500 a month and did it.
 
    - One wanted to move abroad with a paying job, and did it!

    - Another had a job promotion to CEO and wanted to increase sales by 20% - and did it.

    - One wanted a career change and to get out of debt and did it.

These are things that most people intend to do - things they hope to do, things they dream about - but the dream dies in them.

Why – because they have no support, they lack ideas, they get stuck or overwhelmed with everyday pressures. They die with the dream in them.


Listen to what one of our last group of Prosperity Team™ participants says...

LIFE GOALS
“As I sit here typing on my brand new I-Mac, looking forward to my dream job in France, I am filled with gratitude and joy. Thank you for creating Prosperity Teams™ that encourage us to realize our dreams - I’m surely living MY DREAM: a year in the South of France with paid work! Thank you for holding me accountable to achieving that dream, and to calling me to be my best self, even on days when I was ready to give up!”

PERSONAL TALENT
"I thank Prosperity Teams™ for making me realize that I have a multitude of talents to bring to the world."

ABOUT THE TEAMS
"The Prosperity Teams™ are incredible! I've been moving by leaps and bounds! We put ideas out, and others fill in the details for us - ideas that we're not able to see by ourselves. It feels like Leonardo Da Vinci sometimes - I have the basic blueprint, but others fill in 10 steps ahead of me. I have such gratitude that you've put these together for us."

Above from K.Billingsley., New York, USA, and now FRANCE

And what would YOU want to achieve? Maybe you want increased income. One business owner increased sales by $2600 per month – that’s over $30,000 extra income a year.

But maybe your goal isn’t starting a new business or extra money. Maybe your goal is a promotion, or writing a book, or learning to speak in public – something that takes huge courage. ... Maybe it’s a task you hate thinking about and have no time to achieve. These are all things our graduates have overcome.

Success can be yours too – for whatever dream or goal you have.

I know because I’ve been down this road myself. How do you think I learned to master goals and become an expert in the field!!!

I remember a goal I agonized over for years. I knew I wanted to work in television, but thought I needed more credentials.

Although I had been interviewed on television about my books and seminars, I had never worked as the ‘front of camera’ interviewer – something I thought I would love!  Every time the dream came up for me, my mind had an excuse – ‘no formal training, no time, who would I talk to anyway?’ And if I did talk to someone, what would I say? This negative self talk went on for literally years.

Finally I said to myself, “Christine, if you don’t take action now, you’ll NEVER do it and you’ll ALWAYS feel bad about yourself.”

So here’s what happened. A friend of mine told me I’d better do it now or never. So with that encouragement, I decided to take 3 weeks away from my business to try it and see what would happen.

I went to Los Angeles with my resume in my hand (remember it had no interviewing experience on it.) Then I took a deep breath and I walked into the first television station I could find. I asked the receptionist if I could see the program manager. To my surprise, he came out and we talked in the lobby for literally 5 minutes. What happened next almost threw me off my feet. Here’s what he said, “Well Christine, as a matter of fact we need a front of camera person right now for 3 weeks. Can you start tomorrow?”

And that’s where I learned the power of support. I would NEVER have gone without the encouragement of that friend... The one who told me - “It’s now or never, Christine!” And that was SO true. Because of that friend’s encouragement, I had the experience of a lifetime, and I didn’t die with the dream in me.

And that’s why I decided to create a program for others, who did not have the support that I had, AND to combine that support with the knowledge they need – in other words the ‘steps’ for goal achievement.

... I did that because that’s how the universe works – IF you have a support team around you WITH the right methods – you’ll become unstoppable! And that’s what a Prosperity Team™ does for you. You get the power of group support with unstoppable goal achieving exercises. In fact, I was extremely honored about creating Prosperity Teams™ when one team member said, “Christine takes people with her to success. She’s one of the most savvy businesswomen I know. She does things NOW. She doesn’t wait for a better time.”

What would achieving ‘your most outlandish goal’ mean to the rest of your life?

It could easily put you on a new plateau forever! It could increase your self esteem and put you on new paths!

(In fact research also shows that 60% of our self image is related to the work we do. Imagine what happens to our self image if we’re not following our real talents in life!)  It could remove your guilt at last, and let you sleep at night ... or remove that overwhelmed feeling that just festers!

Here’s what graduates say...

COURAGE FROM TEAM SUPPORT
“I would not have had the courage to reach this goal without having the team behind me.”
T. Trumpelmann, SOUTH AFRICA

FROM OVERWHELM TO ORGANIZED !
“One of the tips I learned this week has helped me tremendously in staying better organized, being less stressed, and staying out of the “overwhelm zone!”
L. Montgomery, California, USA

ABOUT THE TEAM
"What I like more than anything, is the high level of thinking. I don't get this any place else. "
A. Berry, Alabama, USA

What about you? If you could pick one thing to achieve, what would it be? Think about it SERIOUSLY... you might never have a chance for support like this again. What would that one audacious goal be for you? Or maybe several come to your head. Maybe things you’ve long given up on, maybe things hanging over your head. Let one important goal ...or dream ... rise to the top.

Now, maybe you’re thinking – well, this could be interesting, but how does this program work?

Let me explain it, and then you can see if it’s right for you. But first, let me say one thing. If you like it, but the timing seems wrong, consider doing it anyway.

Why do I say that? The reason is simple. It’s called the window of lost opportunity. When an opportunity comes and we don’t go for it THEN, chances are that we never will. In fact, of the people who will receive this email, we’re only allowing eight people to register per Prosperity Team™. So if you are serious about achieving a special goal for your life, you’ll want to join now... to guarantee your place.  Places, they’ll go fast - so don’t be left out. In fact, I once heard Frances Littauer deliver a very moving speech about ‘not letting the dream die in you.’ Doing it NOW is the way to insure success in life and not suffer the agony of remorse.

So, here we go ... visualize yourself achieving your goal as you read. And remember – it doesn’t have to be hard – as you saw in my television example above, it only took 5 minutes to reach my dream once I bit the bullet with support behind me...


*** THE FEATURES OF YOUR PROSPERITY TEAM™ PROGRAM ARE AS FOLLOWS...It’s a Dynamic Program consisting of two essential ingredients -  

    First, you’ll have Trademarked methods for goal attainment, as listed below. Second you’ll have the essential support team for your goal.

You’ll meet with your support team and coach-facilitator once a week by telephone. The Prosperity Team™ format focuses on your individual strengths and guarantees that you’ll succeed in your goal. Between calls, you’ll devote 10 minutes a day to applying the methods to your specific goals. (Some folks devote less time and still succeed!) It’s that straight forward.

In Prosperity Teams™ members learn to support each other's success. This builds leadership for careers and businesses.

Our Trademarked methods incorporate a specialized structure, including these three areas:  

    1. Through the POA™, Powerhouse of Your Achievements, which creates a bond and a platform to help each other achieve.

    2. Through Prosperity Exercises™ on achieving goals, overcoming obstacles, and mastering specific business skills.

    3. Through Prosperity Solutions™ - a dynamic team interplay which produces extraordinary ideas, possibilities and results.


***BENEFITS OF THE PROSPERITY TEAM™ PROGRAM -- TO YOUR CAREER AND BUSINESS

Here’s what graduates say...

BUSINESS / BOTTOM LINE
“The Prosperity Exercise™ this week called ‘Get control of your business and watch your bottom line grow,’ was a big win for me  – our profits will be up enormously just from this one exercise.”

BUSINESS
“I share all of our Prosperity Team™ exercises with my employees – it’s the best thing for our business.”

CORPORATE SALES
“At our sales meetings no one had enthusiasm or commitment. I applied what I learned and now people stay in the conference room and discuss business – no one wants to leave and this is the time of day when they are ready to go home! Business is up dramatically.”

Above from A. Ethridge-Painter, Oregon, USA

COACHING / TEAM
“This was one of those powerful coaching calls that left me inspired with an entirely new perspective. To say that Prosperity Teams™ are resourceful is an understatement.  They come up with brilliant options!”

SALES / MARKETING
"Last week during the  Prosperity Team™ Call, I got a major idea of contacting a specific CEO to buy our services... AND with the help of the team I was able to achieve results by the same afternoon!!! This would not have happened without being a member of the Prosperity Team™."

Above from C. Kadansky, Arizona, USA

OTHER BENEFITS...

    - By combining the brainpower of successful people, you’ll achieve bigger goals even faster!

    - Because the Team Calls are Coach-Facilitator led, there’s no lingering and wondering what to do. Everything will be spelled out and you’ll be immediately in the flow.

    - Perhaps you’ve experienced starting on a goal and then becoming stuck! Maybe you ran out of time, or maybe you ran up against roadblocks. This won’t happen when you are a Prosperity Team™ member. Your success is guaranteed.*

  - No need to leave your home or office, so you save valuable time and money by not traveling.

   - You’ll have huge savings compared to business coaching and expensive seminars – and a lot more encouragement!

   - By devoting only 10 minutes a day, you’re not biting off more than you can chew.
        (Some participants even reach their goal by week 4 or 5 – with even LESS than 10 minutes per day!)

Earl Nightingale once said that you could become a world expert in three years on any subject by devoting 7 minutes a day to it. This same principle applied to your goal - along with the team and coach facilitator - has guaranteed results for our participants.

* YOUR GUARANTEE

I started this letter by telling you that I’ve trained over 100,000 people in the US, Europe and Asia – in the field in profit development and leadership. I’ve also written 6 books that have been published by 48 publishers worldwide in 25 languages. In fact word spread so quicly about the effectiveness of these methods that I was invited to present these in training programs around the world – the prestigious Institute of Directors in London, the Australian Institute of Management, the Singapore Institute of Management  – and even our own US Military.

And all the participants had results as never before. One CEO even won an award for growth of his company based on what he learned from my principles. He invited me to his press conference and honored me by saying so. I have a huge reputation at stake. I’m not likely to risk my reputation by promising you something that’s impossible now!

As I ran trainings across all those cultures, I kept seeing where people got stuck. Then I set about developing universal principles of overcoming roadblocks.

So that’s what you’ll be receiving in the Prosperity Teams™ - a truly dynamic set of principles combined with personal support for your achievement – principles and support that are transformational.

I’m so sure that these principles will work for you, that if you follow the program and don’t feel you’ve benefited, you’ll have a full refund of your money. Hard to beat that for a guarantee, isn’t it!

*** FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

When are the phone meetings held?

    Your Prosperity Team™ meetings are held once a week. You can choose an evening or a weekend meeting. After you register you’ll be given a choice of convenient times.

What if I can’t make one of the 12 phone meetings? Do I still qualify?

    Our experience is that you can miss up to three meetings and still reach your goal. You’ll still receive your Prosperity Exercises™ on achieving goals, overcoming obstacles, and mastering specific  business skills, which you can easily apply to your goal within 10 minutes or less per day. You can also update your team on your progress by email and get an update from them by phone or email so that you feel up to date.

How do I know I’ll like my team?

You may wonder how you will fit in with a group of people you don't know. That's a great question.

    The answer is that overwhelming majority of Prosperity Team™ members  say they’ve never met such a group of like-minded people! Think about it - only people who care about their futures join... goal oriented people just like you and me.

    Also, part of our unique methodology enables us to identify your key strengths through your accomplishments and to let your team help you identify your unique  talents quickly and easily. In doing so, they quickly bond with you and visa versa so that your team platform is solidly and effectively built from the first phone meeting.

    AND... as a team member you are able to draw upon the creativity of the group to solve any obstacle you have in your way.  Likewise you are able to utilize the contacts and credibility of others in your team to reach the highest of your goals fast.  In other words, a network for success is being created around you!  

What about confidentiality?

    Great question. Team members are required to sign confidentiality agreements in order to participate. Additionally the program is set up in such a way that you may choose what to disclose or not disclose about your business or your career position. Also the fact that members are from all parts of the US and abroad means that you’ll not have someone from your company on your team unless you invite them to join with you. In fact, the beauty of it is that you’re likely to find the MOST like-minded, supportive people ever among your team members.

What’s the investment for this program?

What would you be willing to invest in yourself,  to not die with the dream in you?

Or, consider this:  What would this program be worth to you, if you raised your monthly income by $2500 – that’s over $30,000 per year? That's what Connie Kadansky from Phoenix did when she joined our Prosperity Team™ Program – And her extra $2500 income was achieved by her 5th week! Does that sound impossible to you? It’s NOT...

But maybe you don’t want extra money – As we said  before - maybe your goal is different – maybe starting a new business, or a promotion, or writing a book, or learning to speak in public – something that takes huge courage – the important thing is that it’s YOUR dream!

What would that be worth to you? Thousands? That’s what you would pay at most seminars of this caliber. But no, the cost for all 12 weeks – the support team, the coach-facilitator, the 12 weeks of Prosperity Methods for reaching your goal is only $597! That’s less than you would spend for two people to go to a restaurant once a week – and look at the difference you get out of it.

Some people think it’s so low, that they wonder how they can get a high caliber program for that price. The answer is this: Like you, we don’t have to travel either. No air fares to pay, no hotel or conference rooms to pay. The savings are passed on to you.

Don’t forget, only eight people are allowed to enroll per Prosperity Team™. So if you really want to achieve that big goal -  do yourself the favor of joining now to guarantee your place.  Places, will go fast - so don’t be left out. Remember Florence Littauer’s motto of ‘not letting the dream die in you.  NOW is the time to insure your future success. Once you’ve attained your goal, no one can take it away from you!!!

MORE QUESTIONS & ANSWERS...

Who is my team’s coach-facilitator?

    We are so inspired with Connie Kadansky's speed of achievement as explained above, PLUS her background of coaching Fortune 500 companies, that we’ve invited her to be your Coach-Facilitator for the next Prosperity Team™ Program.

    Listen to this for a list of her accolades! Connie has owned her own international consulting and performance improvement practice for 7 years.  Kadansky is a nationally recognized expert in identifying and eliminating blocks to personal and business progress. For this, she was interviewed by the Wall Street Journal. She’s certified by the Adler School of Professional Coaching in Toronto, Canada – she’s an accredited member of the National Speakers Association, the International Federation of Professional Speakers, and the International Society of Performance Improvement.  Last summer she facilitated training for the Parliament in Rwanda and was selected for executive coaching in Beijing China, the hot bed of financial growth.

Obviously, if you want results, this is the person you want on your side - and we are thrilled that she will be facilitating your program!

What if I can’t spend 10 minutes a day on my goal?

    You probably guessed the answer already! There are hundreds of get rich quick schemes out there and this is NOT one of them. After all, we’re giving you practically everything on a golden platter already – the method of goal achievement each week, the team to support you. If you can’t spend at least a few minutes a week on your goal, then it’s perhaps best not to join. Having said that, people have experienced achievement of their goal doing much less than 10 minutes a day. That’s because over 12 weeks the momentum builds, and let’s face it – having a team behind you DOES hold your feet to the fire.

Which type of person are you? We’re assuming you’re not ‘just looking for a get rich quick scheme’ because that won’t work anyway! If people won’t follow the program, they won’t get their money back and they won’t get results. That’s an expensive waste of money, wouldn’t you say?

If you’re the goal oriented type that really cares - then please register immediately, and let’s get going now! You’re definitely the type we want on our team!!! We’ll bend over backward to make sure you reach your goals.


Sincerely,
Christine Harvey

P.S. WANT EVEN MORE SUPPORT? What if you have a group of friends and colleagues who you would like to propel to a whole new level?  We can pair you with up to friends and colleagues that you bring in with you, or we can put you all on separate teams for more privacy, diverse contacts and ideas.  

As one member said, "I brought in 3 friends and colleagues because it intensifies the fun and energy of the team. And we can compare notes and support each other between sessions." Email friends and colleagues and suggest that they join you. But register yourself NOW to reserve your place.  

P.P.S. Maybe you are not confident yet. Maybe being around a group of successful people from around the world intimidates you a little bit.  I know where you are coming from. We sometimes sell ourselves short when we look at our own accomplishments.  That is just one reason the money you spend on your Prosperity Team experience is going to pay you back thousands. You must begin to see your unique abilities in order to succeed on an entirely different level.
 
P.P.P.S. OR maybe you are quite clear about the success you’ve had in your life and your career.  You are in good company.   We have members who are CEOs, leading business owners, government leaders, international leaders and entrepreneurs. You’ll join a very select group - you’ll experience it for yourself. Use some or all of these fantastic and proven opportunities, and please let us know between phone meetings when you start achieving your goal. We’ll definitely want to use you as a testimonial.
 
Really, don’t let yourself down – don’t let that dream die in you by putting this off.  You owe it to yourself - you will be amazed at what starts to happen in your life the minute you join and get the first Prosperity Exercise even before the first team call!

The Right Way to 'Sell' Concepts - Will Double Your Profits - Profit Pointers=?ISO-8859-1?B?gSA=?=Curriculum, Issue 5

       WomenForWealth.com, The Right Way to 'Sell' Concepts - Will Double Your Profits - Profit Pointers™ Curriculum, Issue 5

From Christine Harvey (For application of these principles to:  business, real estate, network marketing, personal development, see APPLICATION TIPS below.)

Hi all,             

“Everybody lives by selling something – including our ideas, wants and wishes,” my banking client said to his staff in London following one of our ‘Pursuit of Profit Trainings.’ By pursuing this line of thinking, he was able to almost double his banking product sales in his branch alone. Our first step involved a change of mind set among his staff members - “When we convey ideas, we are ‘selling’ concepts.”

Here’s the biggest mistake people make when trying to ‘sell’ their concepts, products and services. Grasp this and your life and profits will soar.

Listen to these two parents trying to get their 4 year old to eat his vegetables, and see which one will get the desired results...

“Johnny, eat these – they are full of vitamins.”

Or, they might say,

“Johnny, eat these and you’ll get strong muscles like superman.”

Providing Johnny admires Superman and wants muscles, they will win with the second approach. Why? Because they are appealing to Johnny's needs. Johnny, in this case, is the ‘buyer’ of his parents ideas, wants and wishes!

The problem with the first approach is that Johnny doesn’t know - or even care, about vitamins. The problem with all of us in selling concepts is that we fail to identify what the ‘buyer’ cares about before we start reeling off the virtues of our ideas - or products and services. In short, we’re wasting our time.

The same is true of the salesperson who stresses the virtues of the digital transmission technology instead of what the customer wants - the speed of transmission, or perhaps the ease of use... Or the health product person who stresses how the product is freeze dried instead of what the product can do for the person... Or the coaching consultant who focuses on the list of services offered, rather than discovering first what the customer needs and wants.

To change your life and profit, remember this: People DO NOT buy the features and benefits of our products, services and ideas, they buy the BENEFITS TO THEM.

3 MINUTE FOCUS TIP: What idea, concept, products or service do you need to ‘sell’ today? Identify the benefits to the person you are ‘selling’ to and you will be home free! Just as my client experienced, your effectiveness and sales can double with a change of mind set  - everybody lives by selling something – including our ideas, wants and wishes.


APPLICATION TIPS:

Business, USE THIS FOCUS TIP to increase sales of products, services, and concepts.

Real estate, USE THIS FOCUS TIP with your assistant, team members and yourself to improve sales and profit.

Network marketing, USE THIS FOCUS TIP with your team members and yourself to improve sales, recruitment and profit.

Personal development, USE THIS FOCUS TIP to improve you’re ability to be persuasive and to ‘sell’ concepts.

______________________________________________
PS. Here’s my previous email which prompted this call...

1. If you have property to sell, here are some pointers from a mortgager broker we talked with this week...

Rather than reducing the price, you could offer Seller Assistance in the form of a 6% contribution to the buyer, which then goes to reducing their mortgage payment the first couple of years.

2. He also suggested raising the buyer’s brokers commission one point and giving a credit for custom counter tops and tile flooring.  He was most helpful - our meeting lasted 2 hours and he came highly recommended. I’d be pleased to share his name if anyone needs him. If you have more than 10 loans out there in your name, he has other sources of funding and more creative ways to sell property than any other mortgage broker I’ve worked with.

3. Last week we attended a Maui Millionaires Foreclosure Workshop run by David Finkel, learned much and exchanged many other interesting points with the attendees. Banks are taking back properties left, right and center now, but it’s only the tip of the iceberg. So if you have property to sell or rent, it’s probably a good idea to do anything you can to get it moved now, BEFORE the competition gets even more fierce.

4. Bulk purchases are becoming the thing now for single family houses. Banks are selling them for 65 cents on the dollar, while other investors are claiming to sell them for 25 and 30 cents on the dollar. I was told that in Maricopa County/Phoenix, there were about 2000 bank owned properties that went to the auction block LAST MONTH and only about 200 were purchased. That means that 90% of those properties will still sit on the books of the bank, and they MUST get rid of them some way – thus the bulk sales. As you may have heard on the news yesterday, 25 of the old timers who worked for the government during the 80’s Resolution Trust (RTC) days when they sold homes from Savings and Loan Portfolios at huge discounts, are BEING HIRED BACK!!! You can read yesterday’s EconomyGuy.com online for more info on that one, but hang onto your hats, and get your property moving now.

5. Let me know if you want to share more info on this subject. I’m thinking of organizing a conference call in the next few days – maybe Saturday morning – so that we can share info about opportunities and roadblocks we face as investors right now. So watch for an announcement after I hear from you.

The Interview Technique for Profits - Profit Pointers=?ISO-8859-1?B?gSA=?=Curriculum, Issue 4

        WomenForWealth.com, The Interview Technique for Profits - Profit Pointers™ Curriculum, Issue 4

From Christine Harvey (For application of these principles to:  business, real estate, network marketing, personal development, see APPLICATION TIPS below.)

Hi all,             

When you think about it, there are only two ways to increase profits.

Many managers and business owners don’t stop to realize that profit generation is this simple. Profit is after all, your income minus expenses. You either increase income or reduce expenses. Which will you choose?

In my experience in consulting for large and small companies around the world – these include Gillette, IBM, Lloyd’s Bank of London, and start up companies as well – the easiest way is to increase sales.

Why – well, think about it. There are two factors. First - in business, just as in personal life, cutting expenses is more difficult because there is always something you want to acquire. Secondly – if you limit your expenses by cutting marketing costs, you might shoot yourself in the foot. No marketing, no added sales. Additionally, there is a limit to how much you can cut expenses, whereas there is no limit to how much you can sell if you are creative.

One road to increasing profit is to be inventive! Why not reduce expenses and increase income with your marketing at the same time? There’s one way I invented to increase profit that I’ve recommended to clients that works like magic.

I call it The Interview Technique. Here’s how it works.

I simply chose six past and current clients and went out to interview to interview them about how they used our products and services.

As I wrote up the results as a report, it worked like a training exercise for me – I learned so much about how the clients perceive the products and services. I was then able to speak knowledgably, and from the heart as I used their quotes as testimonials to gain new customers. It was no longer theory for me. Their stories were alive and persuasive.

I then used these reports as a training exercise within the sales team as well. So we all benefited.

But, here’s the best part. Two out of the six companies placed new orders with us – WITHOUT EVEN BEING ASKED TO BUY. These were orders we would NOT have had without the interviews.

Here’s why we got the orders – during the interview process they had their interest peaked. By expressing the benefits they received, they realized their own needs and placed orders. A light bulb went on and they bought.

Increasing YOUR PROFITS from The Interview Technique can happen too, just as easily.

Here are the results we got and you can get too:

    1. Increased sales
   2. Great testimonials from our customers to use in selling more
    3. A dynamic training tool

        So here’s the bottom line: if you want to increase profit, interview your past and current clients.

3 MINUTE FOCUS TIP: Decide which customers you want to interview, call and set up the appointments. (Seeing them in person is better than over the phone if that’s possible. It will increase your sales and profits.) During the interview, ask questions about 2 things: How they used the products or services and what benefits they got. Then write up your report and use their quotes for training yourself, others and for testimonials. Watch your profit go up immediately.

APPLICATION TIPS:

Business, USE THIS FOCUS TIP to increase sales and profit. Use it yourself to improve your own capabilities.

Real estate, USE THIS FOCUS TIP with your assistant, team members and yourself to improve sales and profit.

Network marketing, USE THIS FOCUS TIP with your team members and yourself to improve sales, recruitment and profit.

Personal development, USE THIS FOCUS TIP to improve you’re ability to be persuasive.

If You Want to Increase Sales, Increase Product Knowledge First - Profit Pointers Curriculum, Issue 3

       WomenForWealth.com, If You Want to Increase Sales, Increase Product Knowledge First - Profit Pointers™ Curriculum, Issue 3

From Christine Harvey (For application of these principles to:  business, real estate, network marketing, personal development, see APPLICATION TIPS below.)

Hi all,             

When pursuing profit, many business owners and managers think that they can train their people on the virtues of their products or services ONCE, and then expect those people to go out and sell like experts. NOT TRUE!

The fact of the matter is that our brains forget 80% of what we hear after two days! So as owners and managers, we have to train ourselves and others repeatedly and systematically to learn the features and benefits of our products and services.

But there’s no time, you protest. Then you’ll like the research by Tony Buzan, Edward De Bono and others showing techniques that work for the brain to learn faster and retain more.

When I was interviewed about pursuing profit on the Brian Hayes Radio Show, I shared the principles from my book, ‘In Pursuit of Profit,’ as follows:

1. Repeat, repeat, repeat – think of fun ways to review what you are learning or what you are teaching. Let’s say you have a really important point you want remembered and used to increase sales. Then review it 7 minutes after you first learn or teach it.  Then 30 minutes later and 90 minutes later, then 2 days later and a week later.
2. Give Positive, Not Negative Reinforcement – My co-author Bill Sykes, an organizational development expert says, “Don’t embarrass people publicly, even in jest. The person will not like it and others will side with the one who is embarrassed, not you.” Instead give positive reinforcement — we al learn faster in a positive environment. A kind word goes a long way. What kind of positive reward system can you set up for yourself and others?
   

        So, if you want to increase sales, increase product knowledge first. Do it by repetition and positive reinforcement.

3 MINUTE FOCUS TIP: Decide first what one piece of product information you and your sales people would need to become top sales performers.
  Second, review that piece of information at your next opportunity – perhaps a sales meeting or tele-conference, or just a session on your own.
Third, repeat that point 7 minutes later, 30 minutes later and 90 minutes later! Lastly, give yourself and others positive, not negative reinforcement.

APPLICATION TIPS:

Business, USE THIS FOCUS TIP to train employees, or sales people to improve sales and profit. Try it yourself to improve your own capabilities.

Real estate, USE THIS FOCUS TIP with your assistant, team members and yourself to improve sales and profit.

Network marketing, USE THIS FOCUS TIP with your team members and yourself to improve sales, recruitment and profit.

Personal development, USE THIS FOCUS TIP with yourself to improve you’re ability to be persuasive.

The Return to Optimism=?ISO-8859-1?B?rSA=?=Manifest Moments=?ISO-8859-1?B?gSA=?=Curriculum, Issue 2

Good Morning All!
Hope your day is great!!
_______________________________________________________________
WomenForWealth.com, The Return to Optimism– Manifest Moments™ Curriculum, Issue 2
From Christine Harvey, Author of 6 business and leadership books published in 25 languages

The Return to Optimism – Have you ever watched a kid play?

Have you experienced their joy, their optimism as they play? There is no possibility for them that Superman can’t fly, or that mud can’t become a delicious cake! Their optimism just overflows - and they manifest joy!

Esther Hicks, in her book ‘Ask and It Is Given,’ tells us how to get back “to your place of optimism, positive expectation, and expanding joy.” She reminds us that “There is nothing that you cannot be, do or have.”

She recommends that rather than being like most humans – that is feeling unhappy about unfulfilled desires, shortages, dissatisfaction, stuck – we should “KNOW THAT WE ARE THE CREATORS OF OUR OWN EXPERIENCE.”

– Instead we should say, “I feel wonderful as I stand in this place, where many things that I desire, have NOT YET come to me!” But KNOW in your heart that they WILL be coming to you!

... By doing so, you’ll affect your own power and values – “you’ll let the energy that ‘creates,’ flow through your decisions, your intentions, and your every thought.”


3 MINUTE FOCUS TIP: What kind of a day will it be for you today? Will it be one of those ‘good’ days in which everything flows, in which you find joy at every turn? Or will it be one of those ‘bad’ days – a day in which everything seems so effortful, sometimes even demoralizing?

Why not MAKE IT the first kind of day – a fabulous day! Use this technique to make it happen for you... Anytime you start to feel discouraged, say to yourself: “I feel wonderful as I stand in this place, where many things that I desire, have NOT YET come to me!” But KNOW in your heart that they WILL be coming to you!

Meeting the Challenges and Opportunities Ahead - Profit Pointers Curriculum, Issue 2

WomenForWealth.com, Mentality For Meeting the Challenges and Opportunities Ahead - Profit Pointers™ Curriculum, Issue 2
From Christine Harvey
(For application of these principles to:  business, real estate, network marketing, personal development, see APPLICATION TIPS below.)

Hi all,

When I was invited to Japan to visit the Sony Corporation following the release of my book, ‘Secrets of the World’s Top Sales Performers,’ I learned something very interesting about Sony’s Founder.

It fact, what I learned influenced my life and my teachings profoundly. When their Founder was in his 50’s, he decided to learn to fly a helicopter. Yet his staff protested, “But Mr. Morita,” they said. “You have all the money in the world – you can save time by hiring a helicopter pilot – why would you want to learn to do it yourself?” Mr. Morita’s answer was perceptive beyond words about humanity, and something we all need to follow.

He said, “I have to keep trying new things in life to keep my confidence up.”

Think of it – a man who built a world famous company from scratch, a man who was sought after as a board member of companies worldwide – and yet he had to keep moving through new ‘challenge thresholds’ to keep his confidence up!

If that’s true for him, what about you and what about me? Don’t we all need to do this? Don’t we need to encourage our employees and loved ones to do this?

Emerson summed up the human dilemma when he said, “Fear defeats more people than any single thing in the world.” But when we examine the traits of the highly successful, we see that they are constantly pushing their ‘challenge threshold.’ In the process, they are constantly developing confidence, new skills and experience leading to the next threshold!

Dr. Lyle, who I met on my first trip to Europe while traveling on the S. S. France, is another person who influenced my life. Dr Lyle, like Mr. Morita, had also started with no money and had made major contributions to society - despite going bankrupt during the depression AND having to start all over again. Dr. Lyle’s told me his motto is - “You can’t be afraid to do things you want to do. You can’t make excuses and hold yourself back. Instead, believe that nothing is impossible.”

Like in the days of Dr. Lyle, we too are coming up against challenges (and opportunities) in our economy. New skills will be required of us. Difficult decision may be required. Research and new ways of thinking may be required. I can think of no better way to handle the future than the two mottos above – First, keep trying new things to keep your confidence up because you’ll need inner strength. Secondly, don’t let yourself get gripped by fear – instead know that nothing is impossible. Know that your answers ARE out there, or within you. But if you let fear grip you, the answers will elude you! And that’s the truth.

3 MINUTE FOCUS TIP: As you go through your day and week, notice what fears you come up against. Then follow the wise words of Morita, Emerson and Lyle:
    - Bite the bullet, sweep fear aside - try new things to keep your confidence up.
   -  Believe that nothing is impossible.
    - These will keep you from letting fear defeat you.
    Share these success points with others.

APPLICATION TIPS:

Business, USE THIS FOCUS TIP to encourage employees, or anyone to improve performance and life satisfaction. Try it for yourself to improve your own capabilities.

Real estate, USE THIS FOCUS TIP with your assistant, team members and yourself to improve capabilities for meeting the challenges and opportunities ahead.

Network marketing, USE THIS FOCUS TIP with your team members and yourself to improve the ‘opportunity mentality’ for creating the future you and they desire.

Personal development, USE THIS FOCUS TIP with yourself to improve the future you’re creating for yourself.

The Rampage of Appreciation ­ Manifest Moments=?ISO-8859-1?B?gQ==?=, Issue 1

Hi Team -  

Yesterday I was telling my husband Tom – the famous Economy Guy - about my excitement in creating the new Manifest Moment for our Members. “What is a Manifest Moment?” he asked. It’s just that I explained - “a moment we we’re taking together to manifest what we want in our life.”

How do you motivate yourself in the morning? I like to wake up in the morning and read something inspiring. And then to write about it for you adds extra reinforcement!

A favorite for me right now is ‘Ask and It Is Given,’ by Esther and Jerry Hicks. Actually I have a stack of books by my bedside, including some I’ve authored. All have inspiring stories or tips from people. These propel me to a really joyful state – one of great expectation, or to a higher frequency as Esther Hicks would say.

So ‘The Manifest Moments™’ are a series of inspirational pieces I share with you. What does this have to do with Wealth Building, you might ask? “Everything,” I would answer. After all, if we think from the point of view of lack, we’ll manifest lack. On the other hand, if we think from the point of view of abundance, abundance comes to us – and we’ll see it at every turn.

So, here’s today’s Manifest Moment. It should take you less than 3 minutes to read and implement – AND give you a week’s worth of contemplation!

All best,
Christine Harvey@WomenForWealth.com

WomenForWealth.com, The Rampage of Appreciation – Manifest Moments™ Curriculum, Issue 1
From Christine Harvey, Author of 6 business and leadership books published in 25 languages by 48 publishers worldwide,
including international best seller ‘Secrets of the World’s Top Sales Performers.’

The Rampage of Appreciation can be used any time, any place to raise your emotional set point to receive joy and empowerment. Now that’s power. Think of it- what would people pay to learn to bring joy and empowerment into their lives in 3 minutes?

And here it is – brought to us by Esther Hicks through WomenForWealth.com. Try this and see your results – Esther says “The vibration of appreciation is THE MOST IMPORTANT connection ... we have between the physical self and the non-physical self.” If we want to manifest greater abundance, then we simply need to focus today (starting this minute,) on appreciating everything or anything around us. Let’s take the man in the grocery store line – is he annoying us because he’s slow, or can we appreciate his thoroughness or friendliness?

“When you are in the mode of appreciation, there is no resistance within your vibration,” says Hicks. “And the more you maintain these good feeling frequencies, the more the Law of Attraction will deliver to you other thoughts, experiences, people and things that match your practiced vibration.”

3 MINUTE FOCUS TIP: Knowing this, make it your practice each day to focus on raising that vibration through appreciation of anything and everything – as you stand in line at the post office, the grocery store, the traffic light. See the gorgeous trees, the person crossing the street, the well kept building. Watch your energy increase and be aware of the ‘positivity’ that you attract into your day.

An Easy Way to Maximize Performance - Profit Pointers=?ISO-8859-1?B?gSA=?=Curriculum, Issue 1

An Easy Way to Maximize Performance - Profit Pointers™ Curriculum, Issue 1
By Christine Harvey
(For application of these principles to:  business, real estate, network marketing, personal development, see APPLICATION TIPS below.)

Hi all,

When I was running my company in London, I learned an interesting thing.

I had a number of employees who had no idea what their strengths were. They were mainly young university graduates, with great academic backgrounds but no experience in business. I needed them to perform quickly at their highest caliber, so here’s what I did.

I had them sit down for 3 minutes at the end of each day, and I had them write down 2 things they enjoyed or got satisfaction from in a small spiral notebook. Then I listened to their points. At the end of a week, I was amazed to see the trends. One person loved being on the phone to high flying executives, another loved research, and so on.

By doing this process for ONLY A WEEK, several magnificent things happened!

First, I was able to see strengths in them that they had not yet recognized in themselves! By pointing these out, I was reinforcing their belief in their skills, and with this new belief, they were able to go from strength to strength to strength. As a company, we got increased performance!

Second, we developed a great bond. They developed great loyalty to me and my company. Some of these folks went on to work with me over the years, still write and visit. Power question: Don’t you want loyalty from the people around you. I always say, “Show people the best in themselves and they will follow you anywhere!”

Third, I found myself having better job satisfaction, and much less frustration. By zeroing in on their strengths, I was able to employ them where they best fit, and everyone was happy. Their job satisfaction and sense of security skyrocketed because they were now focusing on their area of strength. AND that helped to carry them enthusiastically through other parts of the job that didn’t necessarily match their strengths!

Question: What did I get out of this as a business owner? More importantly: What can you get out of engaging this method?
Answer:
First - Increased performance.
Second - Loyalty
Third - Job satisfaction – for you and them.

3 MINUTE FOCUS TIP: Try this with yourself or others: Sit down for 3 minutes at the end of the day and record 2 things you or they enjoyed or got satisfaction from. If you’re doing it with another person, review it daily together. At the end of a week, look to see what trends you see. These will be the person’s strengths. Reinforce these to improve their performance, loyalty, and job satisfaction.

APPLICATION TIPS:

Business, USE THIS FOR problem employees, new employees or anyone who you want to improve performance, loyalty or job satisfaction. Try it for yourself to improve motivation or self awareness of strengths.

Real estate, USE THIS  FOR your assistant, team members for performance improvement, loyalty and satisfaction of working together. Try it for yourself to improve motivation or self awareness of strengths.

Network marketing, USE THIS  FOR for yourself to improve motivation or self awareness of strengths. USE THIS FOR your new recruits the first 5 days – the difference in performance between them and others will be immediately noticeable. It will also increase your level of support to them – so critical in the first few days. Additionally, you’ll have increased loyalty and satisfaction in working together.

Personal development, USE THIS TO improve motivation or self awareness of your strengths, then build on those strengths.

Focus TipT - Get Control of Your Business and Watch Your Bottom Line Grow

Focus Tip™ - Get Control of Your Business and Watch Your Bottom Line Grow

Author: Chrisitne Harvey, Co-Founder, WomenForWealth.com

 

Methods of success and failure in business have fascinated me more than anything in my consulting business over the years, with clients as big as Gillette and Sony, or as small as an individual entrepreneur.

 

The single most important thing is this - Whether the company is large or small, whether it is in the US or Europe or Asia, the success or failure lies largely in ‘Management Control.’ This is even more true for the entrepreneur!

 

Here’s what I mean by ‘Management Control’….

 

It’s simply knowing what your target is, then making sure it is completed!!!

 

Here are some examples. Targets can vary widely, depending on the department. For entrepreneurs, they cover the gambit, since they wear hats for most of the departments themselves!

 

So, a sales or network marketing target could be: ‘10 new prospect calls per day.’

A production target could be: ‘Quotes for CD reproduction from 5 suppliers by Friday.’

A property management target could be: ‘Financial reports received by the 10^th of each month.’

A rehab target could be: ‘Pool fence in by the 12^th of this month.’

 

You get the picture. That’s the target part.

 

Now what about the ‘control’ part of ‘Management Control?’ This is where most people fall down, be they managers or entrepreneurs. DON’T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU. The reason most people fall down here is that they don’t keep a record of the target in order to check to see if it’s done – this applies to themselves and others accomplishing it.

 

So, what’s wrong with that, you might ask? Don’t people do the best they can? Why should I chase them if I’m their boss? Won’t that de-motivate them? Isn’t that micromanagement?

 

Let’s look at it this way… I was once interviewed in Asia by a journalist after a lecture I gave to a management group. The journalist said, ‘Mrs. Harvey, why so you put all this emphasis on management control. Isn’t it enough for people to just do their best without being monitored for results?”

 

Here’s what I asked her in return… “What if you were aiming to win an Olympic race? Do you think you would go out on the track every day and just ‘do your best?’ No you would find out what distance you should run and the time you had to beat in order to win the race.”

 

“Oh, I see,” she said. “I never thought of it like that!”

 

You see, the problem in business of not meeting targets, is that it pushes everything else back. So if you don’t get the 10 prospect calls done, you won’t get the 3 sales you expect – thus your income is down - which affects your bottom line. If you don’t get the 5 supplier quotes for the CD’s, you don’t get the CD’s ordered on time and your customers are let down and your reputation is affected - which affects your bottom line. If you don’t receive the financial reports by the 10^th, you delay knowing where you stand financially and can’t fix potential problems - this impacts your bottom line. If the pool fence isn’t done by the 12^th, your rehab schedule slips and you miss out on new tenants - which affects your bottom line.

 

So what can you do to keep track of expected results? The answer is simple – just record it as you would an appointment, or an action you want to take in the future. Use a system that’s familiar to you, be it a computerized calendar or a daily planner.

 

A few years ago I had the privilege of producing a film with the US Military in Europe called The Heart and Soul of Leadership. In it, I compared corporate management to military leadership. One of the great things I heard from a sergeant in the Air Force was a system they had of giving themselves heads up on a pending deadline. They simply made notations in their agendas of pending reports or actions due. So, if a report was due on Friday, they simply noted ‘xyz report due Friday’ on their Tuesday page, highlighted in yellow, giving them advance notice to chase it and be sure it would be done. They also noted it on their Friday page.

 

Simple things work best! YOU DON’T NEED A COMPLICATED SYSTEM!!! But, you DO NEED A SYSTEM.

 

3 SECOND FOCUS TIP  If YOU WANT TO IMPACT YOUR BOTTOM LINE, consider these simple questions, and decide what action to take:

 

1. What will your system be? Will it be simple like the Air Force one I quoted above? If so, get your daily planner out, or buy a suitable one. Or get your computerized calendar ready.

 

2. What will you track? – The answer is simple – track every action that affects the bottom line, or is personally important to you.

Now, get that system going today while it’s fresh in your mind. The RESULTS WILL AMAZE YOU!

 

Then write and let us know your results!!! We LOVE to hear from readers.

The Key to Getting Results Through People

from Christine Harvey

When I was in Japan, I had the privilege of meeting a woman who had been advisor to five Prime Ministers. Since I was writing ‘In Pursuit of Profit’ at the time, I asked her this question: “What advice would you give people who really want to get results in business?”

The answer she gave me was so simple, but so powerful, that I’ve never forgotten it. In fact, I always go back to it whenever I need to get results through people.

Here’s her answer: “What I’ve discovered in life is this - never write to people if you can speak with them by phone, and never speak by phone, if you can see them in person.”

That’s food for thought, isn’t it. Simple but powerful.

30 Second Results Tip: Stop now and ask yourself what roadblock you seem to have in any particular project or goal. Now ask yourself this? What action can I take through talking to someone personally – either by phone or in person - rather than writing? In today’s world where email has become the rule rather than the exception, person touch has been lost. Let’s take advantage of the advice of the advisor to five Prime Ministers, and go back to the person touch for results. Pick up that phone, or make that appointment, and see the magic that materializes!

If you decide to try this today and you get surprising results, please comment. We would like to quote YOUR success in a future Business Tip to help others in their journey to results.

Until then, best of success in YOUR adventures in life!
