My Personal Update

Welcome to another Success Tips Newsletter.

Below you are going to find a bunch of great Success Tips, however for my Personal Updates section, I have some videos to share with you that are long overdue.

If you have been following my Newsletters, you'd know that back in May I was in Europe.

Well while I was there I pulled out my trusty camera and created a few short videos. However, as I have had lots to do since returning, it has taken me until now to pull them out and cut them together for you.

So without any further ado I am very pleased to share with you just three of my favourite videos (and yes they are all from Italy).

To view simply click the PLAY buttons below. Please enjoy!

 

Stepping Inside the real-life Colosseum, Rome, Italy

 

Exposing the Secrets of the Vatican Museum, Rome, Italy

 

Seeing all of the Sight of beautiful Venice, Italy


What did you think?... OK, but I won't be joining the "Getaway" team anytime soon :-)

In other news, we have been making some major changes to the Secrets Exposed Club website. Everything so far though as been behind the scenes. However, very soon we will be changing the front end as well.

So look out for a ALL-NEW LOOK!

Enjoy the Success Tip below.

Your Friend in Success,

Brad SugarsToday's success tip comes from Brad Sugars.

Chairman of Action International, currently the 16th fastest growing franchise in the World and the World's #1 Business Coaching Company.


Why do you say that the key to business success is laziness?

Understand that business isn't about working hard, it's about employing people who work hard for you. Yes, you have to work hard to initially set it up, but the aim of business is to have the work done profitably by someone else and as the owner of the business your aim should be to do yourself out of a job.

This is known as 'leverage'. Your job is to think - to search out new opportunities and add value to the company. Your team's job is to run the business and grow it.

My definition of a real business is a 'commercial, profitable enterprise that works without me.' It's funny how when I teach people this definition they are usually taken aback for a few seconds and then it's like, well yes, I guess you're right.

There are several elements within this definition. A 'commercial enterprise' comes first, that's one in which you can reliably and productively deliver what you sell. Most companies we coach have to go back and start at this level to remove customer complaints, bottlenecks and so on, so that the basics of the company are running right.

Brad Sugars and his Cars

It still amazes me how many companies don't even know what their break-even is on a day-to-day basis. We also put a very big focus on making sure that profit margins are solid right up front in coaching.

The next element to add is the 'profitable' part. That's where you learn to market and sell what you deliver. Here we find that most business owners use only two or three ways of getting new customers and even fewer of getting them back or having existing customers spend more money. Getting business owners to focus on their conversion rate from prospect to sale is a massive area for growth.

Then, it's about systems to make it all work, a system is simply a documented way of doing something. Systemising everything from employment to customer service is all about having it recorded and documented.

You can write it down, film it, photograph it, or record it any way that you like, what's important is that you have a documented way of doing things.

The last stage is the team building to make it work without the owner. Team building and leadership go hand-in-hand, but teaching it to business owners is often a challenge.

On the surface it's pretty simple, but as you get into it, you begin to realise the complexities.

Great Feedback from a "Secrets Exposed" Reader

A few days ago someone sent me the below email. Upon reading it I was seriously gob smacked!

Now of course I do not take any credit for this woman's success. However, it did make me feel a great deal of gratefulness knowing that the effort I made, helped to touch someone's family in a major way.

I won't keep you in suspense any longer. Please read below now:

 

Hi Dale,

I came across your book, Secrets of Property Millionaires Exposed!, at a point in my life when I was looking for something that I was interested in, that could involve my husband and our kids (2 1/2 yr old and 1 yr old twins at the time) and create a wealthy future for us all - quite a tall order! I had always been interested in property but had thought that it was only for the mega rich.

Your book showed me that this was not the case, that ordinary Aussies, like myself, could get involved too. It inspired me to take action and it equipped me with the tools I needed to create my own game plan.

Now, almost 2 years later, I have a property portfolio worth in excess of $3.3 million and I am very excited about the future.

Thanks for putting together such a great "How to Manual".

Cheers

Kate Blanchard

Thanks so much for to Kate Blanchard for sending me in this message.
