Free New Years Video Reveals The #1 Marketing Question For 2008

January

1st

HAPPY NEW YEARS TO YOU AND YOURS!

Now… do you want to be a “Show-Stopper” in 2008 and grow, expand and multiply your sales, income and overall business?

I thought you would.

So here’s the starting point.

There is one question… one really, really big question you MUST ask yourself.

If you don’t ask this question, or you get the answer wrong… all I can say is…

“Uh Oh!”

And I don’t want to be saying “uh oh” and I certainly don’t want you to be saying “uh oh.”

So, I’ve uploaded a 7 minute and 59 second video clip from a seminar I did recently in Australia.

In this video we address the #1 most important question you need to ask to establish a strong running start in 2008.

This one simple question can be the real difference between floundering or flourishing in this new year.

Nothing is more important to your personal and business success than answering this question right now.

So click on the video below to start it, and let’s begin…

Hello Stephen and I appreciate this video clip delivering a very valuable messsage regarding competing in the right environment and a key question – where can I win? In the past couple of years I have reflected a great deal on my experiences with companies that I have worked with as well as many others. My view today is that those who truely excel are driven by leaders who belong in that business – leaders who love having the business work for them.

It is very important for anyone who is in business to make sure that is where they belong. Because if the answer is no, I don’t care if you are a bear in the middle of the woods facing an gator, you are going to get your butt kicked if you don’t want to be there and the alligator is on purpose.

I believe the key is making sure that what you do is satisfying your personal dreams and desires. If it does you will find all the tools to help you enjoy that game. You will also not be attached to the results of the game. We all can be happy regardless of who wins the game.

On his deathbed Andrew Carnegie said he would give up all his wealth in exchange for marital happiness. The key is being grateful for what we have and pursuing with passion our dreams and desires.

As business advisors and consultants we miss the mark when we focus on great tools for helping improve business performance but do nothing to help the business leader understand what it really is that makes her or him happy – all the time. Now when I am consulting with a client I begin with the Properity Tool Chest then we look at the business. The Prosperity Tool Chest can be fournd at http://prosperitynow.prosperityroadmap.com

I think I read a comment someone had about how to figure out where you can win…well my thoughts on that is start where you are now. Start with where you THINK you can win and adjust from there. I love the question…where can I win? Definitely a question to have fun with. This is one of those questions that I would ask a staff (if I had one). It could be sooo simple. For me as a trainer, I can win with baby entrepreneurs, I can win with folks who need the info I have, I can win with people who are confused about what to do next in their businesses…this is definitely a fun question and can really open a lot of doors! I love it. Stephen once again I am thrilled to get your pods. Keep it coming! rain or shine, crocs or bears, keep it coming!!

Happy New Year!!!

Hi Stephen,

Thanks you for this video clip, great one to start the New Year!

I’m not always very patient so hurry up with some more great vids! ; P

Like the above comments, great metaphors that people can instantly
relate to and understand. Now I’ll have to think about where I’m
postioning myself in my different environments…

hmmm… to carry the metaphors further: should I be the crocodile
in one environment and change to the bear in another…? I do have
both strengths and weaknesses which may be more advantageous in
two different environments…

It’s Going To Be Great in 2008!

God Bless,
Yoon

Hi one n all … that’s one of drawbacks with the internet … to much information, even information overload … just because its free information here there and every where does not always make it correct information or information that will do you any good what’s so ever … but hey its just a matter of a few clicks a bit of study and bang good well researched information at its best!! … That’s how most of us have ended up in this blog …. Yes??

All my very best to you and yours 2008 and onwards

[...] The style we ultimately adopt is the one that suits our personality. In his latest video, Stephen Pierce makes the point that to succeed in business we first must choice the environment that provides the greatest opportunity for success (http://www.dtalpha.com/talkback/?p=17). [...]

Hi Stephen

It was excellent info as usual.

I always learn something from what you say.

In the lead up to this video, you said that the question of “Where can you win?”, is the single most important question we need to answer if we are to be successful in 2008. If we get the answer wrong, we will waste time and money going in the wrong direction.

Upon completion of watching the video, I hold the same sentiments as post #11 and look forward to exploring HOW you can find where you can win in more details in future DTAlpha sessions.

Keep up the good info.

Many thanks
Nick

I guess knowing yourself and where you are going to, or where you are willing to go could be the starting point of the answer.

Thanks for the show

Superb Stephen!

We often miss this because we don’t want to take the time and
review this crucial piece of our business. By not honestly
assessing this part of my business, it has cost me lots of
wasted resources –> money, time and health wondering why …

This is also a GREAT lesson for everyday living too.

Thanks so much. Keep it coming, please!

Hi Stephen,

One of the secrets of your great teaching lies within the questions you ask. This simple video becomes profound by the question, “Where Can I Win?” All to often, we ask the “How. . .” “Where. . .” is a great reminder.

Internet marketing has many of each of the where and how but then, the next step might be, “Where do I focus next?” Overwhelm is the most common reason for surrendering our goals and dreams.

Happy New Year

What is obvious to some people can remain an enigma to others. The creative way you bring clarity to the table Stephen is something we all benefit from regardless of how obvious something may seem.

Talent alone does not assure success; I have proven that already. Sometimes the things you say seem to be just for my benefit. Thanks.

DTAlpha TV is really sharp BTW. Excellent use of online video with very cool intro and an exit that leaves the viewer wanting more.

Hi Stephen
I agree with most of your points in the video. I do think that you can choose which environment in which to operate and to a certain extent control or change it to give you an advantage e.g. beavers build dams, irrigation systems also can have a big effect on environments. As always things are relative.
I also think what is said about competing is not necessarily the best way of going about business (hey but what do I know?, I am here to learn and share) I am more in favor of WIN WIN businesses so all parties benefit and there are no losers. As regards running the wrong way, isn’t that what most people have always done according to the statistics?
Thanks again Stephen for the opportunity to post

Best wishes

Nicely done!
Great video. You need some kind of strategies before starting any business. You need strategies to tackle any problem that you face ahead. Easily understood.

You also talk about marketing the product. You say that marketing is very important but what if you have no experience in marketing. Then what?

Do you mean marketing your business in articles, blogs or forum. Is it advertising in the internet or what. I know I am asking a little dumb question but can you explain more on how marketing can be done if you have no experience in the field.
You are good in marketing your product because you have knowledge on how to do it. Not lots of people have marketing knowledge like you so can you help us or anyone in this talkback who don’t have any experience in marketing.

By the way Happy New Year to you and your family.
