Download My FREE E-Book: 7 Step Guerrilla Marketing Action Plan

Marketing is war, anyway you look at it. You are battling other competitors. You are battling for mindshare of your prospects, customers and evangelists. Marketing IS combat and you NEED a strategy.

Jay Conrad Levinson, the father of Guerrilla Marketing, has been teaching this since the 80’s. He has millions of books that have been printed in over 38 languages.

According to him, I have done more Guerrilla Marketing plans than anyone else living on the planet. I think there are about 8000 people who have learned how to write a Guerrilla Marketing plan through me.

Many of those plans have been one-on-ones. I think I have done over 3,000 one-on-ones in about five years. It’s phenomenal. I do group sessions now, and I teach one-on-many.

Like many others, you can join the ranks of successful people that are using this powerful tool to build and grow their business.

How To Have A Successful, Productive Business Meeting That Doesn’t Waste Your Time

If there’s one activity that entrepreneurs live into more than any other, which wastes more time or is more of a drudgery and drains their time and sucks their energy, it is business meetings.

In my experience, the reason for that is it involves other people, and other people may not honor your time as much as you do.

There is something you can do to have productive meetings: it all comes down to pre-meeting planning.

I like to spend five minutes of pre-planning time going over the points that I want to cover during the meeting.

Napoleon Hill on the Definiteness of Purpose

Success and progress towards achieving your goals in life begin with knowing where you are going. Enjoy this classic video tip from Napoleon Hill, author of Think and Grow Rich.

What’s the Mastery of Procrastination?

DECISION. Accurate analysis of over 25,000 men and women who had experienced failure, disclosed the fact that LACK OF DECISION was near the head of the list of the 30 major causes of FAILURE. This is no mere statement of a theory—it is a fact.

PROCRASTINATION, the opposite of DECISION, is a common enemy which practically every man must conquer.

Analysis of several hundred people who had accumulated fortunes well beyond the million dollar mark, disclosed the fact that every one of them had the habit of REACHING DECISIONS PROMPTLY, and of changing these decisions SLOWLY, if, and when they were changed. People who fail to accumulate money, without exception, have the habit of reaching decisions, IF AT ALL, very slowly, and of changing these decisions quickly and often.

Those who reach DECISIONS promptly and definitely, know what they want, and generally get it.

The leaders in every walk of life DECIDE quickly, and firmly. That is the major reason why they are leaders. The world has the habit of making room for the man whose words and actions show that he knows where he is going.

“TELL THE WORLD WHAT YOU INTEND TO DO, BUT FIRST SHOW IT.” – Napoleon Hill

“It’s in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.” – Anthony Robbins

What are the Major Attributes Of Leadership? | Servant Leadership Tips

The following are important factors of leadership. It’s relevant for all entrepreneurs, internet marketers and anyone who wants to market online and expects people to follow them:

1. UNWAVERING COURAGE based upon knowledge of self, and of one’s occupation. No follower wishes to be dominated by a leader who lacks self-confidence and courage. No intelligent follower will be dominated by such a leader very long.

2. SELF-CONTROL. The man who cannot control himself, can never control others. Self-control sets a mighty example for one’s followers, which the more intelligent will emulate.

3. A KEEN SENSE OF JUSTICE. Without a sense of fairness and justice, no leader can command and retain the respect of his followers.

4. DEFINITENESS OF DECISION. The man who wavers in his decisions, shows that he is not sure of himself. He cannot lead others successfully.

5. DEFINITENESS OF PLANS. The successful leader must plan his work, and work his plan. A leader who moves by guesswork, without practical, definite plans, is comparable to a ship without a rudder. Sooner or later he will land on the rocks.

6. THE HABIT OF DOING MORE THAN PAID FOR. One of the penalties of leadership is the necessity of willingness, upon the part of the leader, to do more than he requires of his followers. This is also the basis for servant leadership. You serve others by doing more than they expect.

7. A PLEASING PERSONALITY. No slovenly, careless person can become a successful leader. Leadership calls for respect. Followers will not respect a leader who does not grade high on all of the factors of a Pleasing Personality.

8. SYMPATHY AND UNDERSTANDING. The successful leader must be in sympathy with his followers. Moreover, he must understand them and their problems.

9. MASTERY OF DETAIL. Successful leadership calls for mastery of details of the leader’s position.

10. WILLINGNESS TO ASSUME FULL RESPONSIBILITY. The successful leader must be willing to assume responsibility for the mistakes and the shortcomings of his followers. If he tries to shift this responsibility, he will not remain the leader. If one of his followers makes a mistake, and shows himself incompetent, the leader must consider that it is he who failed.

11. COOPERATION. The successful leader must understand, and apply the principle of cooperative effort and be able to induce his followers to do the same. Leadership calls for POWER, and power calls for COOPERATION.

If you are going to run your own internet marketing business, and make money from home on the internet you must learn the leadership skills that go along with being successful.

There are two forms of Leadership. The first, and by far the most effective, is LEADERSHIP BY CONSENT of, and with the sympathy of the followers.

The second is LEADERSHIP BY FORCE, without the consent and sympathy of the followers. History is filled with evidences that Leadership by Force cannot endure. The downfall and disappearance of “Dictators” and kings is significant. It means that people will not follow forced leadership indefinitely.

The world has just entered a new era of relationship between leaders and followers, which very clearly calls for new leaders, and a new brand of leadership in business and industry. Those who belong to the old school of leadership-by-force, must acquire an understanding of the new brand of leadership (cooperation) or be relegated to the rank and file of the followers.

There is no other way out for them.

Leadership by consent is what effective online marketing is all about. People will follow you online once they know how much you care, and how well you have embodied these major attributes of leadership.

Why An Article-A-Day Keeps The Recession Away

bailout-dollarArticle marketing has recession-proofed my online businesses. I know that is a big claim, and lots of people are talking about how to recession-proof your business right now.

Read on to discover how to really do it with Article Marketing and the article-a-day strategy.  Here are 7 ways an article-a-day can recession-proof your business:
