Making Every Penny Count in 2008

Happy New Year to all!! It's fast approaching 2008 in my part of the world, and it may already be there where you are. Regardless of your location, I am sure we all share one common resolution in the coming year - to be more successful at making money, to make more money, and to move toward financial security.

Regardless of what 2007 has been for you, it's time to make a fresh start.

• If you've made lots of money in 2007, good for you!! Maybe you'll share with us and tell us more about how you got there. Let your goal be to replicate and increase your earnings in the new year.
  


• If you haven't done so good in 2007, ah well! It's over. New start, new goals, new opportunities. Let your goal for 2008 be to make more than you did in 2007.



• If you lost money in 2007,again, ah well! We live and learn! And this should be your goal in 2008, to look back and see what you did wrong, or what you didn't do that you could have done, and to make the necessary changes to make 2008 a better year for you.

I have done all the above. I made some good money, I didn't do so good at times, and I lost some money, so my goals are going to be to learn from my mistakes, to replicate my successes, and to move faster towards financial security, which is my long-term goal!

Make sure you subscribe to this blog as I will be sharing more and more of what I'm learning about making every penny count, and becoming more prosperous.

Here's to a fruitful and prosperous 2008.

“Why Great SYSTEMS Will Always Outperform People”

Have you ever asked yourself why people fail? Well there are many scientific reasons/explanations that are often put forward and most are worthy for all to consider. The key thing, however, is to concentrate not on the reasons for failure, but how to correct it and look for alternatives. After all, a great leader once said “Failure is a great teacher”.

“People fail 80% of the time and a system always wins”. Why is this?

Firstly, what most people lack is a clear vision. Without a clearly defined vision, most people simply fail and end up ‘wondering about’. A strong vision is what is sought least but one of the main reasons for failure. Without a vision, you are just a ship floating in the ocean of business; you are letting the tides dictate your outcome, not the controls of the ship you are manning.

Another reason why people fail is due to a lack of experience and/or knowledge. Without fully knowing what you are doing, how does one expect success? That is why I advice ALL to gain knowledge of what they plan to engage themselves in before jumping in the deep end. One way of eliminating this problem could be by getting a Mentor; someone who has achieved exactly what you aspire to.

Action! It is probably an overstated point, but without MASSIVE ACTION, people will almost always fail at what they are doing. The main cause of a lack of action is Procrastination; this can be defined as a type of avoidance behaviour which is characterised by deferment of actions or tasks to a later time. Sometimes one would have the intention to do something, but then delay it and not do it at all! The above is a classic example of why PEOPLE fail and why great SYSTEMS prevail. We can now turn to the other side of our equation: SYSTEMS.

Great systems that are proven to work are generally hard to find and once found, very expensive. One can conclude that a McDonald’s or Burger King Franchise SYSTEM works but not everyone can afford the franchise fee. They both have great systems and people generally ‘work’ the system. The system has all the necessary procedures/guidelines in place and these are constantly refined and fine tuned to work better.

The problem is it would probably take a random individual many years to develop a great system half as effective as the two mentioned above. An effective SYSTEM is that which has all the components working in tandem e.g. sales, marketing, finance, client service, operations etc. There are various theories on how to set up the ‘sub-systems’ above, but this report will not go into this.

So what can we derive from the above and how does one go about attaining or becoming part of a GREAT SYSTEM? Well, we can probably conclude, from the points given above, that GREAT SYSTEMS are more effective and will outperform PEOPLE!

In terms of finding a GREAT SYSTEM that is accessible to the
average person, I can recommend a SYSTEM that has created $3,630,000 in commissions for its members in the last 14 weeks. Now if that isn’t a PROVEN SYSTEM then I don’t know what is. The good thing about this SYSTEM is that all the components are ready and it is what one would refer to as a ‘Plug and Play SYSTEM’. The founder has put in years of hard work, trying and testing hundreds of alternatives and has fine tuned this SYSTEM to perfection.

Not everyone can simply join this SYSTEM as every person has to fill in an online application form and be verified by the SYSTEM chiefs. This is a SYSTEM that is changing lives and it eliminates the ‘Human factor’.
