Day 12, 13, 14, 15 - Mailing Materials Are Finished!

I finally finished the five flyers for the mailout. I'm mailing the flyer package to a list of 100 targeted clients. The five flyers describe grantwriting, business plan writing, investment packages, organizational development, and business/not-for-profit startup.

I chose these services because they reflect my work of the past 15 years. Since about 1991, I've completed tasks reflecting those services for hundreds of individuals starting for-profit and/or not-for-profit business enterprises. I'm planning to offer those services through new info channels and promote them differently than in past years. I believe that the new promotional strategies and tools I've found and will use (strategies and tools that are available to anyone, by the way) will drive revenues and profits to levels that for me are unprecedented. As I work through the new strategies, I'll share some insights with you.

Alex Tew says that to achieve great success, you have to create and own a totally new idea or concept that no one else has thought of. Doing so worked for him. I think you can also put a new marketing twist on tried and true concepts.

Tew was a natural marketer and promoter who compartmentalized a unqiue view of a webpage and sold it to others. Most of us aren't natively blessed with those skills. But many of us do conjure up uniquely beneficial insights that only we can see. Those insights emerge when we break out of our comfortable secure thoughts and start "thinking outside the box". Andcthey become financially beneficial when we expand our sphere of influence to others who can recognize our "out of the box" insights and how they add value to their lives or activities. Unfortunately we live in fear of being unique and different. Too many of us want comfortable conformity.

Farrah Gray, the 21 year old Reallionaire, says that "comfort is the enemy of greatness." At 6 years old, he learned how to overcome the complacency that he saw ensnaring people in mediocre, desperate lives. How did he achieve the financial plateaus few others even envision? He made a decision and a choice. He allowed himself to think outside the box and visualize the improbable as possible. As an eight-year old entreprenreur, he printed up and distributed cards that described himself as a "21st century CEO." By the time he was 12, he had a Wall Street Office, and he was a millionaire before his 15th birthday. Today at 22, he wears $1,500 suits and $1,600 watches. He believed that anything is possible and then went out and actualized his beliefs.

Day 12, 13, 14, 15 Totals: No income to report yet. We'll see you tomorrow with the latest updates and insights.
