The Key to Building a Business That Will Make You Wealthy

February 13, 2012 By Leave a Comment

It never ceases to amaze me how many people I meet who think that just because they have a business, a web site, some products to sell, that they, by default, should be wealthy.

Really?

You mean just because there is a car in garage, I should be able to win the Indy 500?

Or because I own a pair of running shoes, I should be able to run in and win marathons!

You know that’s not how it works. In order to win, you’ve got to put in the effort. In order to put in the effort, you’ve got to doing things you really enjoy, or else it will be far too much like work and you won’t do it.

Early on, I recognized my passion for marketing, but not just the run of the mill nuts and bolts marketing. I found the greatest joy in truly understanding people and how and why they act the way they do.

Hardly a day goes by where I’m not observing, learning, testing, and gaining a new understanding of how and why people do the things they do. This is not work, it’s my passion.

Why I rose to the top of the industry so quickly is because I was passionate about my craft.

It does NOT happen by accident.

Last night, you likely watched the Grammy Awards and what you saw were people being honored that are mostly very passionate about their craft. The more passion they have for what they do, typically, the better they do in their careers.

So what about you?

Are you doing something you love to do today?

Or do you find that the most fun in your day comes around lunch time and after the work day is done?

I used to live that way, until I just could no longer allow myself to play by those rules. So I quit my job and made a promise to myself that I would never again work for anybody else as an employee because that is clearly not who I am.

That was back in 1995 and although I’ve seen some rough times, faced many challenges, and came close to bankruptcy on several occasions, I would do it all again.

Your life is what you make of it. This is your time to make the kinds of decisions that will result in a life you can can happy to live every single moment.

The hardest part of this is getting to a place where you can believe that what I’m sharing with you here is real. Once you believe it, you will indeed begin to take the steps necessary to move yourself more into alignment with what you’re most passionate about.

I’ve got much more to share with you on this topic, and if you want to hear it for yourself, you can get it here:

Yes, you can have it your way.

Winning this battle is critical to your success

January 16, 2012 By Leave a Comment

You are involved in a war, and whether or not you come out a  winner will largely depend on how well you can defend yourself  against a constant onslaught.

Now that’s a peppy little message guaranteed to kick of your day!

The battle that I’m referring to is one that you MUST win if you  have visions of succeeding in life. It’s a battle you’ve been in  since the day you were born, but it’s also a battle you can win,  if you’re willing to.

The key, of course, is that you’re willing to win, and that you  believe that winning is even possible.

If you’re with me on this, let me give you some more information  on this war and how to win it.

Success requires that you focus on the things that you really  want and tune out the things you don’t want. It sounds simple,  but in reality it’s one of the biggest battles you’ll face in  life.

You see, every where you look, your attention is being turned to  things NOT wanted. From the news you see all day, everyday, to  the conversations you’re having with friends, family, and co- workers.

All of it is about things you DON’T WANT, while very little time,  if any, is dedicated to being focused on the things you really  want most.

It’s not all your fault. As a society, we’ve been trained to look  at the bad stuff, to be focused on the disasters, the mis- fortunes, and the dark side of the political structure.

It’s so well ingrained in us all that we barely notice how  negative we’ve become!

This is the EXACT OPPOSITE of the way you need to be in order to  make it in life. It’s no mystery that people are literally  attracted to those of us who are POSITIVE. I like to think of the  little + sign when I think of something positive as ADDING to my  life experience.

But how can you re-train your mind to focus more on things that  make you smile even in the face of a constant and un-ending  onslaught of negativity?

I’ll admit, it’s not easy, but the good news is that even if you  modified your thinking by a mere 10%, you’d see big shifts in  your  life. Just 10%, or 6 minutes of every hour, will make a  measurable difference in your life!

Now, I’ve got a powerful tool for you today that will give you  the strategies that work to get you back on track, fast!

These strategies are the ones that I use to get myself back in  the game whenever I’ve been “over-exposed” to things I don’t want  to be focused on and need to be in a more positive frame of mind  now.

http://www.ultimatewealthpublishing.com/products/More-More- More.html

You can win the battle, and win the war, and live a life filled  with things you really want most, but it won’t happen unless  you’re ready, willing, and able to make some changes to your  thinking right now.

Why not make this year your best one yet?

Be outstanding!

It was the worst year of my life..

January 10, 2012 By Leave a Comment

It was New Year’s Eve and I was so excited that I could not contain myself! You see, I had created a list of things that I wanted to accomplish in the coming year that included nearly 30 items!

Oh, I simply couldn’t wait to get started and I was telling everybody I knew about what I had planned.

I was eager, I was bold, and I thought that I had it all figured out and that year would be my best ever. Turns out, it was the worst year of my life.

What happened?

Where did I go wrong?

Well, the following year, there I sat with my big plans for the coming year and it finally hit me. With better than 27 new plans on the table how was I ever going to be able to give each one enough attention to see that it achieved the success I knew it could?

The answer surprised me. And it took a while before I fully understood it all, and it took even longer for me to make the corrections I needed to make in order to indeed succeed at higher and higher levels.

Today, those lessons are burned into my brain and I know that I’ll never go back to making the mistakes I once made that caused me to have one bad year after another.

In fact, I am now, right now, today, as I write this, pairing DOWN my list for 2012 so that I only focus on those projects that will indeed result in big successes.

I have become a master of staying focused. I learned the hard way that although I thought that I was focused but was really never focused, just excited, and that lead to more failures than I care to remember!

Now, if I could show you a better way to put yourself in a position to have a winning year in 2012, would you listen?

More importantly, would take action on what I share that is sure to give you a much better shot at making 2012 the best year you’ll have to date.

And, would you, after experiencing the results, continue to use my strategies in years to come so that you can continue to experience better and better years ahead?

Of course, I would expect that you’re answer would be a resounding YES!

My proven strategies for staying focused can be found here:

The Lifeblood of Your Business

September 5, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Imagine that you have found the perfect product. A product that  could help anybody become more successful. A product that was  simple, affordable, and you just knew in your hear that it would  benefit millions of people.

Now imagine that you are sitting there with this product in your  hands and have no way of getting the word out about it.

There’s no mystery here, this is the reality for the vast, vast,  vast majority of business owners and would-be business owners.

But does it have to be this way?

I beleive that the KEY to building a successful business in any  industry can be found in your ability to reach out to more and  more people all the time.

You should be keen on seeking out new and better ways to reach  new people all the time. You could do this with the many social  networks, you could write articles, record videos, create a  podcast, and you can do it face-to-face as well.

What’s the BEST strategy of all?

In my book, the best strategy is the sum total of all of the  above. Each one will result in some level of results for you, but  when you combine them all, you end up with the kinds of results  that great companies are made of.

One of my favorite networking strategies now has a home on the  web, which I’m excited about. The strategy is generating  referrals from other business owners, and now that’s been made  easy by this web site.

Personally, I refer clients to other businesses on a regular  basis because it’s one of the things that my clients expect from  me. And this is an open door for you too. Let me explain.

I’d like you to do two things today. First, go to this web site  and set up an account (no cost): (this is my page)

http://www.referralkey.com/robertimbriale

Next, I’d like you to add yourself as my “Colleague.” I’ll accept  your invite and will look at your profile to see what kind of  referrals you are looking for.

I will be more than happy to make referrals to you when I have a  client with a need that you can fill for them.

Step three for you is to be ACTIVE on this web site and look to  not only connect with more people, but also to refer people out  to other businesses and also to get referrals back. The more  people you connect with, the better your odds of securing new  business.

It’s a simple step, and I know many business owners simply won’t  bother to take it and that means they will be missing out on the  energy generated by this web site!

I also know you are the type of person who will look at every  option to build your business, and that you’re willing to give  anything a fair shot!

This is one I believe is worth investing your time in.

Marketing Strategies for the Fall Shopping Season

August 30, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Every year about this time, my focus and energy begins to shift  rapidly to the coming fall season. Why is this such an important  part of the year?

For one thing, it’s the time of year when sales increase for many  businesses. However, businesses who aren’t planning their fall  marketing strategies right now, will be too late to capitalize on  this increase in sales.

I know that you’re the type of business owner who is eager to  grow your business, so I’m sure that you’re now ready to look at  what you can do for your marketing this fall.

Let me give you a couple of quick ideas. First, Labor Day is this  coming weekend, so you can put together a special and get that  out to your list, to your Facebook friends, and your Twitter  followers.

Beyond that, you’ll have more time to plan for marketing you can  do in October, November, and of course, December too!

Here are some of my favorite types of promotions: [Read more...]
