Is your passion for your work and your life sagging?

In 2005, Harris Interactive released a study which revealed that only 20% of American workers are passionate about what they do. Wow… this means that 80% of the working population is unhappy, dissatisfied, and unfulfilled. In all likelihood, 4 out of every 5 people you meet are struggling through their life. Now more than ever, people are craving authenticity, freedom, and power of choice.

With so many layoffs occurring due to the current financial landscape, many are looking to supplement their income through additional sources. That “hobby” of yours suddenly becomes an interesting concept for a business plan. If you are looking to “launch” your business, the Business Breakthrough Series Program can be your lifeline. Co-creator, Meredith Liepelt, and I are officially opening the doors to this incredible program.

Please visit www.BusinessBreakthroughSeries.com to learn more about how we can help you to turn your passions into profits!

I look forward to helping you make the shift from the 80% who are lacking passion to the 20% that look forward to getting out of bed each morning!

To Your Success,

Diana Long

Some “Old Fashioned” Advice for Business Owners

Diana Long — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 19:14:08 +0000

This set of “rules” comes from the 18th century and, wow, these rules look like they were written with today’s business in mind! I discovered these in C.J. Hayden’s excellent book, “Get Clients Now“. The exact resource for the list is unknown. Bottom line? Stay in front of your prospects and clients. Regular consistent efforts do AND will pay off!

1. The first time a man looks at an advertisement, he does not see it.
2. The second time, he does not notice it.
3. The third time, he is conscious of it.
4. The fourth time, he faintly remembers having seen it before.
5. The fifth time, he reads it.
6. The sixth time, he turns it up his nose up at it.
7. The seventh time, he reads it through and says, “Oh, brother!”
8. The eighth time, he says, “Here’s that confounded thing again!”
9. The ninth time, he wonders if it amounts to anything.
10. The tenth time, he asks his neighbor if he has tried it.
11. The eleventh time, he wonders how the advertiser makes it pay.
12. The twelfth time, he thinks it must be a good thing.
13. The thirteenth time, he thinks perhaps it might be worth something.
14. The fourteenth time, he remembers wanting such a think a long time.
15. The fifteenth time, he is tantalized because he cannot afford to buy it.
16. The sixteenth time, he thinks he will buy it some day.
17. The seventeenth time, he makes a memorandum to buy it.
18. The eighteenth time, he swears at his poverty.
19. The nineteenth time, he counts his money carefully.
20. The twentieth time he sees the ad, he buys what it is offering.

To Your Success,

Prosper, No Matter What!

Careful, Your Attitude is Showing!

Has the constant stream of negative news affected you yet? It’s hard to avoid hearing about it.

Everywhere we turn, whether it’s surfing the Internet, reading the paper, listening to the radio or chatting with our neighbor, the topic revolves around the “crash and burn” of Wall Street with steady servings of heated and divisive political commentary. This can’t be good for us!

The bottom line is that YOU are in the driver’s seat of your life and your business.

The current state of affairs has all of us paying attention, doesn’t it? It’s hard to avoid the hot topics these days, but is this overload of negative news triggering your fears? The single most important factor in staying resilient during difficult times is our attitude. What is your viewpoint? Do you think the future will be mostly good or mostly bad? If you believe it will be mostly good, then you’ll be motivated to do what it takes to get through tough times. As Henry Ford once said, “If you think you can, if you think you can’t, either way, you are right.” Necessity is the mother of motivation! The formula for attaining successful results is your creativity, courage, and positive expectations!
