Here's a Deeper "Musing" That Might be Worth Reading
Prior to Our Open Forum Discussion Session

Brain-Rattling, New Thinking Will Help Any Business Perform Better

So, OK, I stopped altogether doing seminars here in the US. Occasionally I still go to Shanghai to "flex" my strategic cerebral fitness. Also, when the group is interesting, I still occasionally do a few 90-minute KEYNOTE addresses. The rest of the time, I'm discovering things. Breakthrough insights on what works and what doesn't. Inventive new slants on how to reach and favorably impact the market.

 

We're on the greatest frontier of change our business world has ever known. But the good news - to me, at least, is that - there are a few pivotal things you can actually do to put your sales and income-generating business performance in far better shape than you can possibly imagine. Better still - if you start doing things differently, then keep a vigilant pulse of the shifts that occur in your world and market -- you can be bigger, better, more profitable (and successful) next year than this, and you'll keep compounding these increases year after year!

 

Obviously, you're wondering "what," exactly you have to do differently -- and how, precisely you need to execute those changes, right?

Well, it's hard to completely summarize in this short communication, but there ARE an enormous array of key things to look at.

 

But it all comes down to one major point: Thinking Differently! Sound simple? Well, it is... AND, it isn't.

 

The biggest single change for most business owners and professionals is the open-mindedness card. We think of possibility like we think of the word "opportunity" - in a very superficial/theoretical, highly subjective way.

 

In reality, possibility connects your ability to assess, perceive, comprehend, impute, appreciate, adapt/adopt, extrapolate... then demonstrate to your own mind that you really, truly, honestly see what can be achieved, accomplished, mined, monetized, produced, generated, from your market. It means that you clearly perceive ALL that can be harnessed and harvested from a business, from its market, from a prospect or buyer. It means that your product/service (and company) more fully solves, addresses or fulfills your market's need, desire, problem or goal. It conveys that you comprehend how to preempt any direct or indirect alternative choice out there your prospects could turn to.

 

Then, you need to grasp (in a powerfully clear way) the full impact (and importance of ALL the direct and indirect) issues that positively -- or negatively -- affect your business performance, results, profits, success. You do this by learning to think 3-dimensionally, divergently, convergently. You do this by learning to recognize restrictors or impediments you are struggling with, but don't know they even matter.

 

Finally - you need to clearly fathom how different forces, factors and elements inside your business (and outside) ALL interact with one another. You need to see, understand, perceive your current reality -- and have a burning desire to make all the major action and attitude shifts that can make a difference in your business situation.

 

Sound easy?

 

Surprisingly, these simple-sounding shifts in strategy, action and transaction require a considerable change in thinking on your part. You need to incorporate daily regimes of looking at everything from far different vantage points. You must apply a highly disciplined "refocusing" -- to instill (and install) a new set of perception factors into your ongoing business thinking.

 

But if... and when... you learn to masterfully harness ALL these forces, you can be more successful year after year -- for the rest of your business life.

 

Regardless of how you conduct business today. Irrespective of how you do your marketing, selling, business generation. No matter how you source and sell clients - it's vitally, critically, essentially important that you shift your thinking and actions over to what I'm discussing, here. Just spending money on marketing. Just saying "money back-guaranteed." Just having a bunch of bulleted benefits in your sales letter or brochure - may have been good - once upon a time! Today - they're wrong! Articulated incorrectly, executed superficially - it's a real negative. Interestingly, now you have to be "authentically involved" with other people - your prospects and buyers. You have to care deeply about THEIR fears, THEIR hopes, THEIR wants, THEIR desires.

 

You have to dig into THEIR heart and soul and strike a deeply felt, relevant cord! Why? Because your prospects have strong motivations that they care deeply about. Fail to align with them and their issues and you fail to be relevant. Fail to be relevant - and guess what? You lose...

 

As long as your market feels that THEY are more important to you and you are totally interested in solving their problems, your business can thrive!

 

Again, sounds simple -- and it CAN actually become a lot easier than you think. But in order to do the job right - you need a "Masterful Thinking Partner." Someone to experience things with, someone to challenge things you may take for granted. Someone to redirect things, perceptions, your understanding and critical thinking.

 

A masterful thinking partner can do miracles for a business like yours -- today.

 

Why? Because, as one of my colleagues says, we're ALL really paid to think-- and keep thinking! Only problem is that... most of us think about the wrong things, in the wrong way and from the wrong point of view with the wrong goal in mind.

 

You need to get strongly connected to a better way of thinking. A clearer way of thinking, a more rewarding way of thinking. You need to have a support system that gets your brain "course- corrected" quickly, and frequently!

 

If this sounds ominous or scary - it's not. But failing to turn on (and turn-up) your critical thinking capability can be horribly dangerous - IF you don't watch out.

 

We're talking about making probably the hugest shifts in thinking you may ever embrace... and altering your commitment to your marketplace, your entire focus -- in ways and directions you probably never expected, probably never challenged your mind to look at before.

 

BUT, if you don't figure it out yourself (or get a capable masterful thinking partner to help do it for and with you) - your business can quickly go from being viable, successfull, maybe even the leader of the pack - to being a downward spiraling entrepreneur with a lot of shattered hopes and dreams and very little cash flow.

 

What should you do now? Definitely don't keep doing the status quo. Definitely stop thinking "linear" and doing things the same, old way.

 

Sit down, take stock, pursue (with a vengeance) making the kinds of mental connections you need -- with the right thinking partner (or partners) that can guide you through the thicket of shifts and changes you need to make-immediately, mentally as well as transactionally. When you start thinking differently, you start acting differently. Then you start transacting differently. Then you start producing bigger, better results.

 

If you don't - and unless you are exceptionally lucky - your business life could, quite suddenly (and irreversibly) take a bad turn - downward - in ways you don't even understand. It could be nearly impossible to correct or solve once that happens.

 

I'd like to sit down and talk through with you a far different way of seeing things. I'd like to make you increasingly aware of what's really been happening in your market, industry, in the minds of consumers and the world. I'd like to get deep and granular with you - on a wide array of critical matters you haven't thought about before.

 

So join me on a penetrating and clarifying open-forum discussion.

 

What I'm going to share is completely different than anything any other "advisor" you've listened to recently will probably tell you. It'll put me on a different footing in your mind than the kind of experts you typically turn to. But thinking differently is at the heart of all that's critical.

 

The normal way you market, sell, deal with clients and think is dangerous - it could soon become lethal!

 

Your future will probably be plagued by soaring cases of business failure. I don't want YOUR business to be one of them!

 

Mediocrity, being stuck, stagnating performance - does NOT have to be your business plight. But if you continue to operate the way you always have done, think and do things the way you always thought about them -- your performance WILL weaken. The crash could be terrifyingly destructive. Heartbreaking, even, for static thinkers and myopic minds.

 

But for most of you the danger IS preventable. Therefore, I see my job as trying to help prevent it! I want to help you learn to think differently.

 

Before your business unnecessarily goes off the track, let me (at least) explore becoming your new Master Thinking Partner. Again, I'm willing because I think it's something few others focus on providing.

 

It's a different role from coach. It's actually different even than that of mentor. My goal would be to make YOU and your business more powerful, more profitable and a little bit better, stronger - each and every day.

 

Your thinking can change. You'll gain more optimism, a stronger sense of being in control. Your efforts and actions will be more powerful, efficient, effective. Together, I believe we can triumph over the challenges your business is facing, particularly the ones you haven't even recognized yet.

 

You may be stuck and not even know it. Together we can reshape your business. We could stimulate an astonishing degree of improvement, of increased sales, multiplied success, magnified profits. We can get you un-stuck and teach you how to remain un-stuck.

 

But continue doing what you're probably doing now, thinking like you're currently thinking now -- the way you're probably doing it - and you're swimming against the tide.

 

Embrace what I'm offering -- and the improved results you could amass -- may actually spin your head around.

 

In a non-"hype-y" way - I'm offering a bit of strategic "magic" that could transform your enterprise into something quite different, quite impressive.

 

The tide is crashing against most businesses. Override the tide by thinking differently. It's an offer by me - for you -- to make a profound change - a terrific, potentially positive "mind-shift." We're talking about something that (I truly believe) could absolutely revolutionize your ability to prosper and succeed.

 

Let's talk. Please join me on one of my "open-forum discussion" sessions. The most important thing, to me, is that you understand your options, opportunities, challenges and impact factors at all times. That you recognize the threats you're facing. That's critical. Shifting your long-term thinking is critical, too. You CAN control your future.

 

Having a capable, masterful thinking partner could do wonders for your business performance. The best move you can make right now? Talk to me on one of these "open-forum" discussions, without obligation. Then, make a realistic assessment of the shape your business is in today. Then make a choice that fits your condition.

 

If you wish to remain stuck - be my guest. If you like struggling - then struggle away... There are a range of different strategic shifts you can consider making. One size does NOT fit all businesses.

 

But one thing IS certain: If we think things through-together, over a period of time - questioning incongruities, righting critical "thinking" wrongs, pushing you a bit harder every few weeks, recognizing factors, forces and fears that are holding you back - we could enormously improve - no make that "monumentally" multiply, your chances of multiplied success.

 

What I have to say on these discussion calls should make a lot of sense. My goal here is to help you carefully, constantly, continuously improve.

 

You probably don't know your way around all that's changing. You probably don't ordinarily think about the issues and implications you should.

 

So let's talk about figuring it all out - getting more out of your efforts, energies, time, investment, commitment, opportunities - by thinking everything you do through better!

 

You need to know how to think differently/better. You need to shift gears on what you do, why you do it and how it all interacts and executes.

 

Learn what to do differently and watch the multiplied results you achieve. The quicker we start, the bigger the long-term business payoff should be. There are no limits - but you're restricted (cursed, almost) if you don't take different action. Einstein said it best: "Nothing happens until something, or someone, moves." The first big movement I'm advocating is to radically shift your thought process. Come listen to what I want to discuss.

 

So -- I respectfully suggest that you join me this week on one of three "open-forum" discussions I'm doing via teleconference -- to address a whole new set of issues you've not been thinking about before.

 

Let's talk. Call in and listen. Then openly share your feelings and impressions, when I open up the lines on the feedback sessions. Here's where you REGISTER See if my new slant on thinking bigger, better, more effectively makes sense.

 

 

Respectfully,

Jay Abraham
