Let's Get Started

At the end of our Saturday conference call Jim Lutes mentioned a couple books that would be helpful for those of us who are new to this business. One of them was the one I mentioned a couple weeks ago that I would be outlining the salient points here. So let's dive into the first chapter of Dr Tom Barrett's "Dare to Dream and Work to Win" .

He outlines 3 major principles:
  1. Consistent Effort
  2. Duplication
  3. Give It Enough Time
Consistent Effort
Discipline is the Price of Success! "You can work your business full-time or part-time, but NOT spare-time." "When someone says they do not have time for something, they have stated a priority NOT a fact."

Duplication
J Paul Getty, "I would rather have 1% of 100 men working for me rather than 100% of my own efforts." It is the mathematical power of simple duplication. You sign up one person this month and both of you sign up another next month and continuing monthly, after 12 months you will have 4,096. Sounds good, huh?

Give It Enough Time
Be patient, take the long view and stay on task. Set your goals and work your goals accordingly. "He or she who invites the most people to view the presentations wins" is a real truism. Put in the time and you will reap the rewards in the future.

Get the book and jump in...
