Let’s continue our discussion about jealousy and envy and how to instantly overcome both.

I’m using the information marketing business as metaphor and example. We could just as easily be talking about schucking everything, moving to the Bahamas and opening a resort. Or becoming a bestselling author. Or losing 50 pounds. Or making an extra million dollars this year.

My point is, simply, if someone can do it, why not you?

Dr. Paul Searby went from barely making a good living as a dentist, working 40 to 50 hours a week, to making more money in a month than he did all year, working two days a week in the information business. I know Paul well and, no disrespect intended, there’s no innate or genetic edge, no personal attribute that you might lack. Yes, he’s studied and worked hard for a handful of years, made himself a good copywriter, had a couple false starts before hitting it big. But that’s nothing you can’t do

If he can, why not you too?

Bill Glazer went into the family retail business and successfully ran menswear stores before coming into the information marketing business “cold”. Only a few years later, he went on to having a multi-million dollar a year info-business enjoying continuous, rapid growth, encompassing online and offline marketing, niche and mainstream markets. He had no relevant experience.

If he can, why not you too?

Jeff Kaller was a short order cook, Ron LeGrand a car mechanic. Ron’s info-businesses produced over 25-million dollars last year. He even bought his own private jet.

Jerry Jones was merely putting out a newsletter for dentists; to having a high-priced coaching program, a complete ‘do it for them’ direct-mail company. (He’s also doing huge real estate deals.)

You know Yanik Silver as an internet marketer. But he’s quickly built an amazing coaching/services business, providing marketing to cosmetic surgeons — a program that sells for $96,000.00 per person.

No, he’s never been a surgeon.

If they can, why not you? I developed the most successful marketing newsletter business on earth.

I’m a high school grad, I’ve been bankrupt, I’ve zero professional credentials. If I can, why not you?

This is how you MUST think. About everything. There’s no reason not to. Do NOT disqualify yourself. From anything.

In my last post, I spoke about the need for business to invest as much time, effort and money in fostering quality and products and customer service as they do in advertising.

In every aspect of business, the winning leaders demonstrate a profound Bias For Action.

That means they have and foster a sense of urgency and are all about keeping pace with tomorrow, not fighting to preserve yesterday.

I’ve seen companies take months to make rather trivial decisions and I think speed is a factor in business success and the speed that a marketing idea makes it from impulse to implementation has a lot to do with that company’s bottom line.

One of Murphy’s Laws says that everything takes longer and costs more than originally projected and I’m afraid that’s true.

But I believe it’s the role of the leader of the business to push, push and push some more to keep the elapsed time between impulse and implementation to the shortest possible number of minutes.
