Tiger Woods & Rich Schefren Know This Victory Secret. Do You?

By: Darcy Juarez on: June 13th, 2013 No Comments

What do Tiger Woods, Roger Federer, Kobe Bryant, Drew Brees and David Beckham have in common?

They are the world’s highest paid athletes according to Forbes Magazine, with Tiger Woods topping the list at $78.1 Million in winnings and endorsement deals according to calculations made in June 2013.

Tiger is not only the highest paid, but he is the youngest golfer to win 50 tournaments on tour.

Ranked the number one golfer in the world, he has an impressive list of achievements including being awarded the PGA Player of the Year a record ten times.  Plus he has more career major wins than any other active golfer.  He’s also the youngest player to achieve the career Grand Slam (winning all the golf’s major championships in the same calendar year.)

Whether it’s in sports, the arts, or business, what leads people to greatness? What makes them the best in the world?

Being a successful volleyball athlete myself and now working closely with top entrepreneurs such as Rich Schefren, Ryan Deiss, and Yanik Silver, I’ve discovered a common ingredient—not only in athletes, but in entrepreneurs.

I’m not talking about drive and ambition, although that is important to succeed and will lead to a certain level of success, it is not what leads to the highest level of achievement.

Writing down your goals and having a plan is another element often referenced for high accomplishment. While I highly recommend having your end-game defined and a plan written down to achieve it, it too is not the missing, secret ingredient that gets you to the top.

Passion for what they do? Again, that will definitely help you out and keep you driving forward during times when you are struggling, but is not the one missing ingredient.

So what is it?

They seek out and work with the best coaches in the world.

Every one of the highest paid athletes on the Forbes list works with the best and (not surprisingly) highest paid coaches.

Rich Schefren, Yanik Silver, Ryan Deiss, Frank Kern…all turned to the best coach they could find.

But you might ask yourself, if you are at the top of your game, why you would need a coach…

I mean Tiger Woods is the number one golfer in the world earning serious money, why on earth would he work with a coach?

Or why would the most successful entrepreneurs already at the top of the ladder need coaching?

Because it accelerates success and keeps them at the top of their game.

A great coach will guide you in what you need to do to win.

A great coach will be knowledgeable of the most effective techniques, methods and strategies required for success.

A great coach will get to know what pushes your buttons so she or he can motivate you and keep you on course when you start to stray in the wrong direction.

A great coach will introduce you to the greatest leaders—whether it’s through mastermind groups or simply telling you what you should read or in the case of an athlete putting you with a team or workout partners.  He puts these people in your path so that you can be surrounded by successful people that will help you expand your thinking and knowledge and push you even further.

So if you want to accelerate your success and reach (and stay at) the top of your game, crowd your path with successful people and the best coaching you can find.

NOTE: Yanik Silver, Rich Schefren, Frank Kern…names you’ve undoubtedly heard. They are some of the top Internet Marketing Gurus…and continue to be. What do they have in common? They all enlisted Dan Kennedy and knew he was THE top guy who could help them accelerate their success online.

  • The constructive and productive ways to think about the Internet and online media—and how it can provide you with a legitimate portfolio of opportunities.
  • Key principles and ideas you need to understand to streamline your success. There is enormous amount of B.S. about online, I’ll help you sort this out, so you can focus on what truly works.

P.P.S. If you’re still thinking about this and haven’t registered, let me ask you a question. If you decided you wanted to learn to play golf like Tiger, who would you go to for help? Tiger Woods…or his coach?

My guess is you’d go to his coach. Because if the person is a successful coach, it’s pretty much guaranteed they know how to convey what they know to others with clarity and precision.

If you want to earn money and gain the independence like Rich Schefren, Tim Ferris (author of the 4-hr work week) and others like them, then you’ll want to go to their coach…Dan Kennedy and find out what he has to say.  Register here now or go to www.dankennedy.com/internetsecrets

Are You Making This Same Money-Losing Choice?

By: Dan Kennedy on: June 5th, 2013 8 Comments

Last month, the Miami Marlins announced that they would be closing off part of their stadium for some home games.

They aren’t the only stadium having trouble selling tickets.

Across the board ticket sales for Major League Baseball are down and ten clubs are experiencing more than a 20 percent drop in ticket prices in their secondary markets.

Even the mighty Boston Red Sox had their 820 game sellout streak come to an end in April.

What’s to blame? Some are citing the economy. Others cite weather. And yet others blame individual clubs for their poor performance during the previous season.

The response has been to lower ticket prices.

The interesting thing is that based on TV ratings, interest in baseball isn’t in decline. Millions are still watching and, in fact, interest has even slightly increased. So does it make sense to lower ticket prices?

You’ve no doubt read and heard talk by economists, futurists, financial analysts, politicians, and the media about the need to lower our expectations and shrink our lifestyles as the only rational response to all that has occurred in the economy. For example, there was an article that ran in USA Today, in which they warned of the need to “brace for a lower standard of living.”

You’ve likely seen a store at the local mall that has an eternal “Buy one, get one half off” sale that never ends.

Lowering prices, lowering standards…this seems the “natural” response.

But for you and I, lowering prices and lowering expectations is the least rational response.

It only makes sense if you wish to cede control of your life to circumstances. That is a fundamental choice that belongs exclusively to you.

There are, of course, changed and changing facts and realities in the business and financial landscape, but a good way to think about them is as a pro football team’s coaches and players must think about games played on natural turf, artificial turf, outdoors, indoors, in heat, in cold, in rain, in snow—regardless where they play, they play to win. And somebody wins every time.

Given the different conditions, they dress differently, run different plays and use different game strategies. They change their plan and figure out different ways to adjust to their conditions. But they don’t ever set aside their intentions of winning.

Whatever the realities are, one is that there is wealth. As long as it exists, it is yours to attract.

And you can attract it with far greater ease and faster than you think possible, if you believe you can and have the right “know how.”

There are three components necessary for you to shift to a winning plan.

  1. There is a philosophical component. There is a way of thinking that repels wealth, which is how most people think. There is also a way to think that attracts wealth. If you think that way, you are magnetic to opportunity, money and wealth.
  2. There is a strategic component. There are very practical things to do to put yourself in the right position and set in motion the forces that attract wealth. These include entrepreneurial strategies, relationship strategies, influence strategies, marketing strategies—that when properly employed and focused on, will make you magnetic to opportunity, money and wealth.
  3. Finally, there is a behavioral component. There are behaviors that repel wealth, and there are ways to behave that attract wealth. Ultimately, it is my contention that wealth attraction is more about doing than thinking. (You can read extensively on these three components and how to make radical shifts in your business  using them in my book No B.S. Wealth Attraction in the New Economy.)

You have to ask yourself if your business is really in decline and if so, is lowering your prices and expectations really your only option, or is your wealth attraction skewed. Because in the end, you have to either prepare to win, or lose to someone who is.

How To Achieve More With Everything You Write

By: Dan Kennedy on: May 30th, 2013 6 Comments

Last month I conducted a three-day seminar. Seminars are a part of my feeder system with the chief purpose being to “hook a whale” (my term for a highly desirable, valuable client.)

There are, of course, many ways I cast nets to find clients. Books, tele-seminars, webinars, newsletters…are all done ultimately with the intention of gently inviting people to inquire about my services. Yet each has a different strategic purpose.

That’s a key point. You have to know your purpose for each piece, each item, each event. You have to know what your purpose is for being there. For being anywhere.

Most people are what Zig Ziglar used to call “wandering generalities.” They have no clear purpose. No definitive objective. No focus.

People put more thought into writing their grocery list than their key objectives for meetings, events, appointments.

For example, if a newspaper, magazine or trade publication invites you to submit an article and you merely write and deliver a good, content rich article and it is published, you have failed.

That newspaper, newsletter or magazine is a place. Depending on who reads it (which you need to know) why they read it (which you need to know) how many read it (which you need to know) and your own needs and purposes (which you need to know) you must engineer what you write strategically.

If you are hunting for whales, you need to present different bait than if you want to attract the greatest possible number of people to visit a website you reference. (Read more about ‘whales’ in my article Hunt Whales and Get Rich here.)

Whether you are writing a blog post, an email, an article, thought must be given to what you are trying to achieve. Your success or failure will be determined by whether or not you achieve that goal.

Keep in mind, your purpose for doing an event might not be the same as mine. Nor is the purpose of every article you write the same.

Not every business needs, wants, or is prepared to care for a whale.  Some businesses may need “Milk Cows” that give them a steady stream of business month after month and guarantee them sufficient income.

Another business might be starting out and looking for a lot of “Minnows,” each with a relatively low value, but easier to exceed expectations while they increase their experience and get good at delivering their product or service.

Over time this purpose may change too, which means each time you sit down to write, you must evaluate what your purpose is and who your audience is, avoiding the trap of always delivering in the same way.

My own strategic purpose is not the point. Having a strategic purpose and knowing how to insert it into everything you write, that’s the point.

NOTE:  If you are hiring someone else to write your blogs, articles, emails, letters, etc. I’d suggest you pick up GKIC’s FREE report, “The 7 Key Questions Every Copywriter You Hire MUST Be Able to Answer To Write Killer Direct Response Copy and Create Marketing Campaigns That Will Outsell The Pants Off Your Competition!” .

Three Growth Strategies You MUST Apply…

By: Dave Dee on: May 24th, 2013 No Comments

Are you tired of settling for merely “getting by” in today’s economy?… Honestly, many business owners look around them and determine that just keeping the doors open and the lights on is good enough for now… and figure that by doing so and hanging on through the tough times eventually better days lie ahead.

Unfortunately, that’s not how business works.

Like the ocean predator that must constantly move forward aggressively or sink to the bottom a business also must continually advance in
order to thrive.

Consider this list of once-mighty brands who are now a mere memory:  Borders Books, Tower Records, Amoco, Woolworth, TWA, Oldsmobile, and EF Hutton…

Gone.

If you look at businesses and entrepreneurs who remain vibrant and successful, you’ll notice that there are three things they consistently seek out to achieve consistent growth and profit:

1) The BEST Information & Knowledge

Great entrepreneurs know the value of having the highest quality information and knowledge about how to grow a business.

In fact, more secrets to business growth are now being discovered in ONE year than were found out in the previous CENTURY!

How is this possible?

Because NETWORKS have emerged – where everyone is connected and sharing their methods  – and then tryingwhat they learn in new business environments – and reporting back what’s working.

Therefore it’s critical that you “plug in” to these emerging information networks, meetings and seminars where today’s most successful entrepreneurs are hanging out, and learn what’s working from them.

2) Proven, Successful Teachers & Mentors

Interview the top entrepreneurs – the most successful and who’ve made the most money – you’ll notice they ALL have teachers and mentors who were instrumental in helping them grow their businesses.

If you want to get to the next level in your business,then you have to know people already AT that level – so you can learn from them.

But you can’t stop there.

You must KEEP adding teachers and mentors as you grow your company, so you can keep that high-value knowledge coming into your mind,
generating new insights and new opportunities.

3) Off-Site Strategic Planning Meetings

You’ve probably heard the Einstein quote:

“You can’t solve a problem from the same level of thinking that created it.”

Well, you also can’t plan the next level of your business growth when you’re INSIDE of your business.

You have to get outside of your business, and take some time away specifically to plan your next steps for big growth.

Knowing these three strategies is great.

Applying these strategies even better.

But to truly experience transformational growth in your business quickly… WELL …

THAT was never before possible… until now.

FINALLY You Can Experience The Best Information, The Best Teachers, And The Best Strategic Planning Program…

My friend Eben Pagan is doing a live 5-day program called “Accelerate” – and it’s designed to be the ultimate environment to both learn and plan to shift your business into high-growth mode.

If you’re committed to growing your business, then watch this video – it’s full of lessons about what you need to focus on – and it also explains
how you can even get in (if you’re accepted) for 50% off:

“CLICK HERE To Accelerate Your Business Growth”

Watch it, and then apply NOW if you want to learn how to accelerate your business’s growth and profits to a whole new level of success.

NOTE:  Getting away completely to an experience like Eben is offering is the EXACT strategy that Bill Gates … the world’s richest man and founder of Microsoft … took every year in a strategy he called “Think Week.”

He would hole up far away from the office, immerse himself in the BEST advice from a variety of sources and come back refreshed and loaded to bear with a wealth of new ideas for business and operations.

This is a crucial step that most business owners don’t take – a step that costs them massively as they struggle to discover the right approaches, the right insights, the right strategies to grow their businesses.

At Accelerate, it’s ALL there.  And more.

Don’t delay – save 50% and apply NOW:  “CLICK HERE To Accelerate Your Business Growth”

Are You Working Your Mind Like An Exceptionally Successful Person?

By: Dan Kennedy on: April 18th, 2013 6 Comments

The other day, the Wall Street Journal had an article about a successful restaurateur named Jodi Richards.

Richards competes in extreme trail races, triathlons and bike races such as the 64 kilometer “Ö Till Ö” island to island race in Sweden. The article discusses her workout routine (she uses two training coaches!) her diet and the cost of her training and gear which includes specialized high-tech fitness equipment.

For instance, she uses something called the AlterG anti-gravity treadmill that reduces a percentage of her body weight, helping her improve her speed and minimize the impact on her joints. The cost of the treadmill?  $55,000.

She also uses a Hypoxico training chamber that simulates training at a high altitude which costs about $28,000. She owns Guru Custom TT Cr-901 bike that costs $11,000. She pays a total of $330 a month for her two coaches and spends $120 per Pilates session.

Mind you these aren’t all of her training costs. It’s also noteworthy to add that this is for her hobby, not her restaurant business, Atera.

Ms. Richards is in continual pursuit of expanding what her body can do. She invests in a running, swimming and strength coach and a second coach for cycling and strength.

A lot of not-very-bright people would think this is wasteful. If she already has a strength coach, why does she need a second one?

Some might also question the rationale behind hiring a coach for running and swimming when she obviously is quite adept at both.

But having coaches, specialized gear and a special diet allows her to be able to do extraordinary things such as compete in extreme conditions and expand what her body is capable of doing far beyond a normal human being’s body. Coaches help nudge her into pushing her body farther. They help her unearth tweaks that allow her to shave off time during a race. And they renew her motivation when negative self-talk gets in her way.

Similar attitudes prevail when it comes to intellectual input.  Some excuse themselves from acquiring and investing in information, taking the stance, why invest in learning more when I don’t use half of what I know now?

But exceptionally successful people think differently. They think, “I want all the stimulation I can get because my mind is fully capable of expanding to meet, sift, sort and organize as much information as I can put in front of it.”

When I work on projects, I process information by the pound. Searching and sifting for the one detail, the one gem that will make the package a winner and create higher profits. And I’m happy to find one nugget among the pile—because sometimes that’s all it takes.

Donald Trump gets up every morning at 5:30 am to read. Several daily newspapers, professional newsletters, books. I imagine the overwhelming majority of what he finds he already knows or has little interest in. However I’m confident he is hunting for that rare find.  Something he did not know or a fresh perspective that triggers profitable thoughts.

I’m fortunate to know a lot of very rich entrepreneurs. I can’t think of any who aren’t in constant pursuit of more information, ideas and inspiration.  And while they may complain on occasion of being behind in their reading, they’re always buying more books.

The wealthiest people realize the value of acquiring, investing in and processing information. The value does not only require revelations of brand new things—if the input…

  • reminds you of knowledge already in your possession
  • nudges you into acting on some slow simmering idea or intention
  • pushes you past procrastination on just one useful action
  • counters gloom ‘n doom media blather

…it earns its keep.

The ad slogan for the National Enquirer—“Enquiring minds want to know,” would make a great motto for the person who wants to join the ranks of the exceptionally successful entrepreneurs.

Because it would serve as a reminder that, to be exceptionally successful, you need to feed your mind and investigate regularly, constantly, continuously and enthusiastically.

NOTE: Do you aspire to be exceptionally successful? If so, one of the quickest ways to work your mind like an exceptionally successful entrepreneur and experience a fast victory is to attend a power event. They allow you to feed your mind rapidly and because events have the freshest, “what’s working now” strategies, you can avoid having to sift through methods that are no longer working.

Tomorrow, April 19, 2013 is the last day for you to save hundreds of dollars on such a power event—namely, SuperConference. Don’t miss your LAST CHANCE to save on what can give you the ability to unearth a revelation, idea or intention that can push you past procrastination, get you to act on a long-simmering idea, or produce the one profitable gem you’ve been searching for.

Six Tips For Using This Shortcut To Success Tool

By: Darcy Juarez on: March 14th, 2013 3 Comments

Last week at the Fast Implementation Boot Camp, I witnessed the magic of networking.

Connections were made, budding friendships and accountability partners started, alliances were formed, and even some possible joint-ventures emerged… all through networking.

Networking is one of the best ways to make powerful connections that can propel your business forward and shortcut your path to success.

Of course, there are tons of opportunities for networking, (too many, actually) some better than others.

But here’s the thing…

You don’t want to end up with a stack of business cards you’ll never look at again or spend time in a room with non-decision makers who are schmoozing you.

Here are some tips to help you get the most out of your networking encounters:

Find learning environments. Business card exchanges and other networking focused events are high pressure. People are there to meet others for the purpose of doing business, which means their defenses are up. Educational events, such as seminars, conferences and bootcamps are more relaxed, therefore defenses are lower. People are more at ease.  Plus, because the most successful people are continually learning, you are more likely to meet high quality like-minded contacts..

Start conversations. Don’t wait for someone to come to you. Sit next to someone you don’t know or cross the room to talk to someone. Strike up a conversation with the person standing in line next to you. Find out what they are working on or trying to accomplish. A simple conversation can turn into ideas, alliances, new business, referrals, joint-ventures, and a host of other opportunities.

Focus on making quality contacts, not quantity. The goal should not be to meet as many people as possible, it should be to build quality relationships. If you are in a conversation that is going well, stick with it rather than trying to move on to meet more people. That said, don’t hang with one person the entire time.

Do more listening than talking. Ask a lot of questions, then listen and respond to what you hear. By listening you may find you can provide a solution they are looking for.

Do your research. Find out about the speakers and what their specialties are before you attend an event. Pick a couple that you want to meet who work in something related to your field, have a similar business set-up or might be able to answer a question or help you with what you are working on. Then seek these people out. To prepare write down three intelligent questions about your most pressing matters. For example, if you are attending SuperConference and have a brick and mortar business you might want to seek out extraordinary entrepreneurDonna Krech with 25 years’ experience, a thriving local brick and mortar business, a national coaching and franchise business, and a direct-to-consumer products business. She is sure to have plenty of answers about what it takes to make your business ultra-successful.

Write down what you are looking for before you go. Are you looking for someone to give you feedback on an idea you have? Similar businesses to compare promotions? A good “power partner” for referrals? An affiliate or joint-venture partner? Advice about a particular business problem? When you take the time to define what you are looking for from networking, you’ll ask better questions and get much better results.

Armed with these ideas, you’ll be able to brilliantly network and use these opportunities to blast your business forward.

NOTE:  SuperConference Countdown has begun. You’ve got less than two months to prepare for this life-changing event. I recommend you get ready by clearing as much off your plate as possible before you go.

That’s because once you get there, you’re likely to be flooded by the opportunities and new promotion strategies that come out of the event.

And that’s just the beginning. Come prepared to network with some of the most successful GKIC members. You’ll get a ton of value out of the event, no question. In fact, here is a quick list of six of the best things you’ll receive from SuperConference:

1)     Kindred spirits. You’ll meet entrepreneurs from all over the world, of all ages, and varied backgrounds. Yet you’ll share a burning desire to be top dog in your industry, niche or marketplace, bust through barriers and recognize GKIC as the vehicle that can get you there. Since most of the people “back home” can’t relate to what it is you’re trying to do with this “direct-response stuff” and “deliberately positioning yourself against trends,” it’s an awesome feeling to finally connect with people who share your passion for independence.

2)     Meet GKIC Experts Face-to-Face. Sure you’ve “met” Dan Kennedy, our expert panel and GKIC crew members through emails, teleseminars and Google Hangouts. But it’s even better to meet people face-to-face.  You’ll meet the entire GKIC crew, some living legends including Dan Kennedy himself and Brian Tracy, and members of our GKIC Expert Advisory Panel. They are living proof that GKIC strategies work. Meeting them in the flesh will highlight the advantages of this lifestyle, not to mention ramp up your enthusiasm. (If you’re new to GKIC and our successful direct-marketing strategies, check out our flagship product Magnetic Marketing)

3)     Supercharge your professional network. Events in general tend to host the most ambitious, most successful entrepreneurs, sales persons and business owners. SuperConference is no different. These are the go-getters who make things happen. This is a great shortcut for making a list of go-to professionals, joint venture partners, and peers willing to swap promotion ideas.

4)     A reality check. It’s easy to doubt whether the freedom and independent lifestyle really exists…until you meet people actually living it. This is the perfect place to meet people living their dream lifestyle… and find out their best tips for getting there yourself.

5)     Cash, Investment, “Brain Capital” and a Free Vacation. If you participate in GKIC’s Marketer of the Year or in GKIC’s Shark Tank, you could walk away with a winner’s weekend win Dan and an all-expense paid trip to sunny Florida or up to $50,000 in cash, investment opportunity or “brain capital” for your business.

6)     An adrenaline shot. You’ll hear stories that will remind you it’s possible to have complete control over your life, the best and most current information of what’s working now, and loads of tools and strategies to propel your business forward. Not to mention how fired up you’ll be when you leave. You’ll be ready to take on…and conquer your biggest goals.

Brian Tracy Shows You How To Accelerate Your Success

By: Dave Dee on: February 7th, 2013 2 Comments

Early in his career, he was very poor.

He wore shoes two sizes too big with holes in them. He owned one clip-on tie and one shirt that he washed out every night.. He had to make a sale every day in order to have enough money to pay for a place to sleep each night.  There were even times he lived out of his car.

This made him wonder why some people are more successful than others. 

You know the ones I referring to…

They easily make more money.

They come up with the best ideas that get them ahead.

They drive nicer cars. Live in bigger homes. And have the best relationships.

He wanted to know why some people had it and why others, like him, didn’t.

That was more than three decades ago.

Today he’s one of America’s leading authorities on the enhancement of personal effectiveness, the development of human potential, and the art of salesmanship.

A dynamic and entertaining speaker, he has motivated and inspired thousands of people toward peak performance and high achievement and his seminars draw capacity audiences.

He’s written 55 books.

And he’s built, managed or turned around 22 different businesses.

I’m, of course, referring to success expert Brian Tracy.

His early years inspired him to make studying success his lifelong quest. In fact, Brian has spent more than 30,000 hours studying why some people are more successful than others.

He’s read everything ever written about success including the writings of Socrates and Aristotle. And on top of that he’s collected information from more than 10,000 companies in 55 countries to discover what the common equation is for success.

The days of him worrying about having enough money to cover monthly bills are long gone. He’s at the top of his field. He’s prospering despite the current economic conditions. And he’s wealthier and happier than ever.

I share Brian’s story to show you that, no matter where you are, there is a formula for obtaining the business and life you desire.

How did Brian Tracy become so successful?

Brian says that at one point he noticed that everybody starts poor. But certain people rise to success faster.  That’s when Brian realized there was a formula for success.

He says that people who are more successful use this formula to speed up their success.

So what’s their secret? How do people go from nothing to successful?

Well, Brian says the single most important key to success is continuous learning.

In fact, in today’s fast-paced world, it is a necessity in any field. If you don’t constantly learn you’ll simply be passed by.

But that’s not the real secret to the kind of success we’re talking about.

No, the real secret to getting ahead is not just learning.  But in finding and putting into action the right information faster than your competition. 

When you do this you’ll suddenly:

  • Get to the top of your field and stay there
  • Become wealthier and happier than ever before
  • Never again worry that you don’t have enough money to cover your monthly bills
  • Prosper no matter what the economic conditions are, and
  • Remove barriers so there’s no limit to what you can accomplish

So how do you decide which is the right information?

One thing you can do is to put into action what Brian calls “one of the most helpful concepts of all time and life management.”

He’s referring to what is commonly referred to as the 80/20 Principle or 80/20 Rule. It’s also referred to as the Pareto Principle (named after Vilfredo Pareto (1843-1923) who was the first man to identify its existence.)

The 80/20 Rule says that in order to find success you need to focus your effort on the 20% of your activities that bring you the most reward, while eliminating or delegating the 80% that bring you little or no reward.

Take time to identify the twenty percent and you will know where to concentrate your efforts and which information will help you the most.

For example, many companies find that 80% of their profits come from 20% of their customers.  Knowing this you should be analyzing the profitable 20% of your client base.  What do they have in common? How can you bring in more customers that fit their profile?

You might spend time learning and integrating price strategies to sell bigger ticket items to your top 20% clients while studying strategies for not only attracting more customers like them, but reducing and eliminating the least productive customers.

Brian says, “More people are becoming successful at a faster rate than at any other time in history. There have never been more opportunities for you to turn your dreams into reality than there are right now.”

Never stop learning. Use the 80/20 Rule to concentrate your efforts in the right place. And implement what you learn immediately. When you do you will outperform your competition and speed up your success.
