I don't know what your business/financial goals are.

Perhaps $1,000.00 a day would be insufficient to meet your needs. Perhaps that would be a huge pay cut for you.

I do know that for MOST people

I am a student of the MASTERS.

Here are a few along with a comment.

these from the field of Mail Order. A couple of years ago I asked Melvin Powers what kind of a book would he write, KNOWING WHAT HE KNOWS from the 40 years of book publishing/mail order success and he said

THE SECOND VARIABLE: TIME

Your deadline is of your own making. Every entrepreneur should read that a thousand times. When you are trying to acquire a fortune at breakneck speed, make sure you know what YOUR deadlines are.

By using the NPGS formulas and the macro flow charts that Ben Suarez developed [see his book "7 Steps To Freedom II"], you can establish real-world timeframes for every part of your project. When dealing with suppliers, especially those that operate "on demand" inventory, make certain that YOUR time frames can be met.

There is never going to be enough time in your days to get everything done that you need to. This seems to be a fact of life 

of Ancient Aliens, who landed on earth and colonized it. They are due back at any moment...

In the Summer of '71 I was transferred from the U.S.S. Woodrow Wison to the Grayback.

But I went via Vallejo, CA, and spent 6 weeks there because of a paperwork snafu, it was the Navy after all. My "job" during this time was to call in every day at a certain time to see if the paperwork was ready to go.

First you make your HABITS, then your habits make you.

In the SQUARE ONE WORKSHOPS program, I teach that it takes between 25-35 days to "root" a habit. For the activity to take root and have a chance of becoming permanent.

We human creatures like to follow the path of least resistance, and in most instances that means following the HABITS we have established in our life.

As we grow older, it becomes more difficult to change, and the reason is because our habits have the root system of a N. Calif Redwood; DEEP.

That is why I have people examine

THE FIRST VARIABLE: POWER

Power is the ability to have things get done and exercise control over people, situations and even yourself. Power enable you to go from point A to point B and to achieve your goals. Here are 5 basic sources of power that you can use to accomplish your goals:

1) COMPETITION is one of the easiest ways to create power. Every business person has competitors and it is important to let the negotiator across the table know that you KNOW

Dr. Tom Williams has a successful model that many of you might enjoy. http://www.pubmart.com/

Use the TRANSACTION model and see what is involved in these. Now note pubs are advertising driven for the most part. And of course that does not mean YOU have to go out and sell the advertising, but SOMEONE is going to have to do it.

I've talked about the self-publishing ladder before, and this affords a good opportunity for review.

You may have decided to enter remote direct marketing because you said you did not want to have direct customer contact. And as you know, the Net Profit Generation System meets that need. But given all the advantages of the NPGS System, you still must conduct business with suppliers, vendors, and other businesses. That means you are going to be involved in negotiations.

CLONING, the secret to faster and more profitable money making.

How do you clone yourself? By creating products that can be sold around the clock, even while you daydream on the beach.

By creating 

PARALYSIS BY ANALYSIS

My least favorite golf student is the one who spends his/her time on the mechanics of the swing. To the obsessive point.

This person KNOWS everything about the golf swing, the angle of attack, club head speed, club head path.

These are also the least likely golfers to show any improvement. They suffer from PARALYSIS BY ANALYSIS.

So do many wannabe marketers, entrepreneurs, business people.

So, if you are doing the exercise, you have a list of things you LOVE to do, the things, the EXPERIENCES you would have in your life if MONEY were not an issue. And you also have a drawing of two people (and one is you, and the other the PROSPECT). The prospect can be an individual, a group, or a corporation, or even a government.

This simple child like drawing is called a PICTOGRAM, it relays information to you quickly, like a telegram, but it does so with pictures and not words.
