Enjoy the little things!

We all need to work hard to be successful, there's no doubt about that, but we also need to restore our energy from time to tim. There are many different way's to do it, one i've already posted before is the 20 min shutdown, if you haven't read it yet then dig in, i will post the link below.
But another way thats also very effective is to take a step back every few day's, and just dedicate this evening to overlook what you have accomplished the last day's and enjoy it, take the night off and go out to enjoy the little things.
And on the next day you will feel regenerated and perhaps even more creative.

This is the link about my 20 min shutdown, enjoy reading :)

Why am i doing this...

I've started this blog because i think everyone deserves success in life and i want you, to be part of the journey to success with me.

I am currently working hours to get my program finished for my next seminar, I believe in seminars, because they'r so great to connect with so many inspiring people from all around the globe.

And as soon my program is finished i will post the invitation on my Facebook site, which i will also post in my blog.

I hope to see you in the audience and to connect with you.

How i found my path to success

The last few days we've learned alot about business, but there is something that's even more rewarding than a successful business, that thing is called, happyness.

Every business is just as successful as the lvl of happyness of its owner.

A sad salesman will close way less sales as a motivated happy one, a troubled investor is likely to make the wrong decision about at least one of his investments.

So it is crucial to have a base in life.

I've learned it the hard way, after i got fired from my first job as an salesman in a gun store because of the big recession in 2008 everything started to go south, but very slowly so i have not seen it. I took many different job's but nothhing really worked out and i was hitting rock bottom very hard. During this time i earned 263€ per month but in order to live, i needed to spend at least 450€ per month just to survive and pay the rent, i made -187€ per month and i thought i never will break this toxic cycle.

But suddenly, i realized something, i realized that i cannot quit yet, that would be most cowardly thing i can possibly do, i need to fight for my life, if im going down it will be with flying colors, so i started aplying to jobs again.. It took nearly 90 applications but i finaly got the opppertunity to get into a program that would teach me to become an electrician.

I studied 8 hours during the day and additional 4 hours after sunset at home, i needed to pass a new test every 2 weeks, and we've got hundreds of pages to study for each test.

But i made it, i pased every single one of they'r tests and even when they wanted to fire me due to of my motorcycle accident (because i missed so many lessons during my 8 week recovery) i fought for it to stay on the program, so i see no reason, no reason at all, why you couldn't fight for your success too.

You just need to start your journey and i will help you with that, if you let me.

This was the day my race to success began, and i'm still in it.

How to create emotional value and make money with it.

Everything you do in life creates some sort of value, even failing creates what i call, negative value.

But most people don't focus on that sort of value, because it seems to be that that's the kind of value what is bad for us, but its quite the contrary, we can only learn from negative value because when you win, you win!

You reached your goal, but when you loose you realize that something hasn't worked right, otherwise you had won. But i don't want to focus in this post on the negative value your get from failing, instead i want to tell you something about the positive value you experience and give everyday.

You give value?

Yes yes do, even in situations you never expect to do so.

Imagine you are in a supermarket and you are waiting in an endless line at the cashier, you see that the girl behind the counter is totally pressured and stressed out to the max.

Now your right in front of her and you just giving her a smile, and now, for a second, the whole pressure she has on her shoulders caused by millions and millions of costumers that day, is gone. And she smiles back at you.

Now you gave her a very valuable gift, after her shift she will go home probably with a smile on her face and will tell her boyfriend how you saved her day.

Now she's the one creating the good kind of value and giving it to her boyfriend.

All that, caused by a simple smile at the cash desk.

That's a kind of value that sells and makes money, its called emotional value, good value, like the smile on the face of your customers and client's, because it will ensure that they'r definitely coming back and buy from you again.

Client's who will come back are the best client's you can possibly have, because they'r free client's you not have to pay for.

Wait a minute! Paying for my client's? I want them to pay ME money.

Yes that's true, BUT ( and this is a pretty big BUT)in order to get someone as your client you need to make some advirtising for your business in the first place and ad's aren't cheap.

For example, lets do a quick math, imagine you are a shoe maker and you don't have a single client yet, so you start a ad in your local newspaper that costs you 500€ for one day.

Now after the ad runs out, you recieved 10 customers in your shop and everyone buy's a pair of nice shoes for 100€, so practically you paid for every costumer in your shop 50€ worth of advirtising up front so they get to know you and pay you 100€ each in return, in form of buying shoes.

That means your profit on every new customer is 50€ instead of 100€, not even slightly compareable to a costumer who's coming back and you will get the whole profit of 100€ from him.

Let's get down to brass tacks, advirtising is important for every business such as it is equally important to keep everyone of you customers coming back.

How to get the promotion you always wanted!

If you want to be successful and i think you want it more than anything, its important to stand out an you need to be indispensable and go the extra mile, in job as well in your private life.

It doesn't matter If you are working in a corporate job, in a tiny shoeh-store or you have already your own business.

If you want to make a change, or a difference that matters you need to standout, you need to do work that's not in your job description.

Who do you think your boss is giving the promotion you always wanted, your colleague who's just a good worker , always on time and nothing more, or you, who's remarkable, who go the extra mile and get the corporation more and better results.

So the thing is, you need to be indispensable for your company and if you have a business already you need to be outstanding for your client's so they will come back every time they're looking for a new product that you might have and even if you don't have it they will see other things they want and will keep buying.

But how to get remarkable besides doing work that's not in your job description (and if you still think you not want to go the extra mile, .... Quit reading)

Go to events hosted by your company, talk to your boss on such events and get to know him / her better so you can adjust your focus on what he wants from you besides doing your job.

And i don't talk about washing his corporate car...

Maybe he is frustrated about his wife, maybe because he has no wife anymore and you are a relationship master who is married for several years, than you can give him advice on something your are already successful in.

But this is something you must!!! Proceed with highest caution and sensibility, no buddy likes it when someone else starts to giving an uncalled advice on a topic that's painful.

So you need to have at least a little bit of communication skill's, let him come to you, maybe you can direct the conversation in a particular direction.

Do you see where this is heading?

Successful corporate CEO's are mostly struggling in at least one part of they're lives, that's the downside of the success, they're putting all of they're energy into the company, but that's not good for relationships.

And when you give him a solid, valuable advice maybe he brings his new girlfriend to the next event and I can tell you one thing, he will be always grateful to you and your advice and will ask you definitely again on such topic's.

So now you have a head-start. Turn it into your advantage ...

earning money from simply knowing people ?

Do you remember the old nokia slogan?
Connecting people ?
In a world like our's, connections are everything, connections are valuable as money or gold.
Because connections lead to new connections, lead to new valuable client's for your business with, you can imagine, lead's to more money. Got it ?
And they are not just giving you new client's, they also give you the opportinity to connect with powerful mentor's who can help you making your business more profitable and teaching you many skill's you need to have to suceed with your business.
To connect to powerful mentor's who are extremly succesful themselves is necessary for your real-world education, because they can teach you things and skill's you will never learn in any school or university.
Iam not going to lie, it isn't easy and definitely not achieved in a single weekend but if you willing to do this, nobody can ever stop you from beeing successful.

In the next few weeks i will tell you everything i know about building your own network of success so you can leave the "nest" and start your own journey to success.

And its still totaly for free, share it with your friends and family.

Failure is not an option.. or is it?

Failure is not just an option, it's a must feel experience everyone should have in life at least once.
But why? It hurts to fail!
Because your learning more from a fail then you will ever learn from a win, a fail let us think about what we have done and how we could have done it differently, better perhaps.
I failed alot, and when i say alot, i mean more times than i can count, but thats okay because i stood up and tried again, in a different way and i succeded.
Thats how it works, Try, fail, try again, succeed!
always keep going and you will succeed, perhaps not today or tomorrow, but in the future you will definitely!
I know it!
Otherwise you wouldn't read my blog.
