Business Building - What Billionaires Know About Getting Things Done Fast by Melanie Benson Strick
What do Donald Trump, Oprah, Richard Branson and I have in
common? Well I may not quite be at the billionaire level yet
but what we do all have in common is we are all entrepreneurs
who get things done in record time.
Consider this: Over 80% of the entrepreneurs I mentor have
great ideas with less than stellar results. Many struggle to
get to the six figure mark simply due to a perceived lack of
time, resources or energy to get the right strategies in
place to grow their results.
So what is it that the "billionaires" know about getting
things done fast that you might be missing?
First of all, we all share a "speed implementation" mindset.
There is a way of seeing the world that is just different. We
share an attitude of "just get it done NOW," even if it's not
perfect. This speed mindset results in a certain way of
being. We stay in a state of perpetual forward momentum
because that's just who we are.
This state of mind causes us to develop an internal filter
that only lets in the stuff that needs our attention so we
quickly delegate or delete the rest.
From your state of mind, certain habits, behaviors and
actions come naturally. When you have a "speed
implementation" mindset it causes you to do the things
necessary to get things done quickly.
We just make better choices for how we use our time. Kind of
like riding a bike. Once we discover the right combination of
actions that move the bike forward, we do it over and over
again, getting faster and faster, as we tweak and refine our
system. ... (continued)

Work-Life - Getting Rich Is An Exact Science by Pete Turner
In Lesson One: You Have A Right To Be Rich", we explored why
you have a right to get rich. As Wallace Wattles states in
his ground breaking book " The Science of Getting Rich". It
is not possible to live a really complete or successful life
unless one is rich." Wattles believed that no one could rise
to his greatest height in talent or soul development without
plenty of money .
Lesson Two: An Exact Science will cover the reasons why the
science of getting rich is an exact science. According to
Wattles becoming wealthy is the results of doing things in a
"certain way". People who do things in this certain way
whether they do it consciously or unconsciously get rich. In
science in order for a theory to be proven correct and
accepted as fact it must always produce like results from
like causes.
Wallace Wattles maintains that being wealthy has nothing to
do with the environment (neighborhood) you live in or the
possession of talent or intelligence. Rich people are no
different than you and me or the general population. What
then is the difference why are some people wealthy and some
poor? The determining factor is doing things in a "certain
way".
To quote Wattles: "No matter how poor you may be, if you
begin doing things in a certain way you will begin to get
rich and you will begin to have capital (money). The getting
of capital is part of the process of getting rich and it is a
part of the result of doing things in a certain way. If you
begin to do things in this way you must infallibly get rich,
for like causes must produce like effects. "
The process of getting rich begins right where you are now
start doing things in a certain way, start living in harmony
with the laws of nature and the laws of the universe and you ... (continued)

Sales & Marketing - How To Ask For Referrals by Jenny Cartwright
A telephone call to a happy customer is the ideal way to find
referrals and new prospects. This call should be a natural
part of the sales process but, sadly, not a lot of
salespeople bother once they have made a sale.
So what stops you from asking for a referral?
Perhaps you feel embarrassed having to ask or perhaps you
feel you might be putting your customer in a difficult spot,
because he may not know anyone to recommend to you. Well,
like there is a process in every step of the telesales call,
there is also a process for asking for the referral. It is
easy when you know how. Then you will have more confidence to
do it.
The obvious people to give you referrals are your customers
who have recently bought from you. When you call them one or
two weeks after they have bought from you, to check they are
happy with their purchase, they will not only be impressed
that you bothered to call, but they will be only too pleased
to assist you.
Mistakes people make:-
The average salesperson would ask, "Do you know anyone else
who might want to buy what you have just bought?"
When someone is asked that direct question, their mind goes
blank and they cannot think of a single person. You must aim
to be more specific. Following are a few ideas:-
The script for asking for referrals
You must establish that the customer is happy with his
purchase or with your service and then ask one of the
following:-
1. Who else do you know that might want to save the same ... (continued)

Leadership - Lessons Learned from eCommerce by Jeff Evans
The growth and frequent failures of e-commerce ventures has
served to write new chapters in the history of business and
organization. Whether you were actively involved in these
ventures or just watching interestedly, you are probably
aware of the debates that occurred over more traditional
rules of business models and emerging internet rules, in
which speed and opportunity was key.
While the market was at its high, the arguments of internet
rules seemed to outweigh any thoughts to the contrary. The
euphoria of IPOs seemed to be the only requirement to drive
an e-commerce venture, regardless of earnings, cash flow, or
solid business models. As the market began to fall, we also
saw the values of many of these venture vaporize. Others held
on, and it is clear that e-commerce is still the future for
many businesses.
From those of us who worked to create organizations and
compete in this incredibly volatile environment, the
experience was rich with challenges and learnings. Many of
these tended to reinforce the wisdom of basic organization
theory, while others tended to highlight existing barriers in
organization philosophy and practice. In this paper, I will
attempt to share my learnings that both build on and
reinforce lessons from socio-technical designs and highlight
the need for fast and simple, as well as point out areas of
emerging interest in organization development.
The reasons to come together in an e-commerce venture are
varied. While we saw a clear difference emerge in the "B2B"
(business to business) and "B2C" (business to consumer)
arenas, there was still a consistent thread of purpose.
Basically, e-commerce sought to increase profits and create
new business by bringing together people and technology and
increasing speed to market. Each has its own opportunity,
whether through reducing supply chain costs or partnering to ... (continued)
