Four Steps to Breakthrough Bliss

by Troy White

Fellow Business-Builder,

Is there truly a single secret to small business success?

Or is the idea that there is one single secret a joke?

Having worked with some of the world’s most successful entrepreneurs, I think I found it.

There are many secrets to growing a business and remaining profitable and sane throughout the process.

Why are they secrets?

Because if they were well known, more entrepreneurs would be more successful … earning more and working less.

Here is the most valuable skill you can master …

… Massive implementation mode

The ability to make many things happen simultaneously sounds good in theory … but is it feasible? And if it is, what can the average business owner do?

SIMULTANEOUS vs. SEQUENTIAL EXECUTION

Many people fall for the systematic planning idea that is taught in many circles. While it is very important to use templates and formulas to make this happen as they should, it can also severely limit the results you get.

Unless …

You can find ways to make things happen in a sequence, but systematically making multiple projects and initiatives happen all at once.

A rapidly growing business requires an owner who can hold it all together, while riding the momentum they have already built.

This is where many people fall down – they get a winning marketing campaign put together – and they ride the wave, loving every single deposit in their bank account. But they typically forget to continue to grow it – while it is already growing like gangbusters in other areas.

When the momentum slows or dies (which it always will, unless you have other things going simultaneously) … they are lost and completely confused as to where their money and success went.

Here are some of the most important tools I have found for building massive implementation into my business:

Constant motivation. This best comes from a combination of external and internal sources. First, you MUST have a big vision on what you will do – and how it will feel when it’s done. If you don’t know where you are going – you will never get there! External motivation comes from mastermind groups, coaches and mentors. I personally belong to 3 mastermind groups – each one provides me different areas of support, ideas, and expertise. You can swap ideas, problems and discussions. If you do this right, this will push and stretch you to highly uncomfortable levels in very short periods of time.

You are better to do 10 ideas than 1 [I do not mean 10 different business ideas here – I mean 10 different marketing efforts]. Do not put all your eggs in one basket. It will be much harder for the average small business owner to get 1 idea that makes you $100,000 than to get 10 ideas that make you $10,000 each … right?

You MUST do the things you read here in The Total Package newsletters! It is not about amassing this great storehouse of knowledge – it IS about implementing what you learn on a massive scale.

Get other people working for you – for free. Who in the heck wants to work for free? As I showed people at the Wild West Wealth Summit, LOTS OF PEOPLE WILL WORK FOR FREE … if you position it properly so there is an upside. Think about it: Joint ventures (free until they sell something), commissioned sales reps, affiliates, volunteers, interns, barter, etc. The list is long, and gives ample proof that there are those who will work for free up front. Having multiple parties helping you grow your business, without upfront capital, can provide you with immense leverage and momentum.

Get one key assistant to help you manage everything you have on the go. This may take time to find – but they are out there. The best thing you can do is figure out the hourly income you SHOULD be making. Then factor in what you can hire an assistant for … the difference is the profit margin you make from having them do the little things for you, while you focus on your most effective and profitable tasks.

Keep track of what works so that you can do them again, and again, and again. Use the numbers to push you. Constantly be looking for new and more creative marketing ideas. Track and measure everything – how it worked, how many people, how much they spent, what they said, who they referred.

List out 10 things you would love to get done in the next month. These are 10 MAJOR projects. How can you ‘re-purpose’ the time, effort, and content you put into each project? If you lay it all out on paper, there will be areas that duplicate efforts – THOSE are key areas for massive implementation. Do the projects that have a common tie-in all at once. Stick to a timer and set aside at least one hour of uninterrupted time (see the point below for more information on this). Work on just one project per hour.

Shut yourself off from distractions! Last week I wrote about my one and a half day hideout in a remote location. Are you interested in what I got done?

Rather than checking e-mail 27 times and answering the phone 14 times … I did:

– 2 newsletters from start to finish …

– 3 blog posts – written and posted when I got back to “The Internet Zone” …

– 3 speeches written, polished and rehearsed …

– New product written for Wild West Wealth Summit …

– New coaching and mentoring program designed, written and released …

– Quiet time to relax and visualize my success at the summit …

– A lot of little things – more micro-managing rather than macro …

– Steal other ideas from those who ARE doing what you want to do …

You know what’s really interesting? While I did all of this – I had a team of people making sure the day to day stuff was still happening. AND I AM HOOKED! I am not needed doing the things I was doing – I can be much more productive (and profitable) when I do what I am good at, and what I enjoy doing).

This is not going to happen overnight – you will not master this tomorrow. It can take months to find the right system that works for you … but when you find it, you will get more done in an average day than you used to in a month.

Learn how to become a massive implementation expert.

Get those projects done and out there – without worrying about them being perfect every time (you think shoddy products, full of bugs, are a concern of Microsoft? You know as well as I do – they are the model of massive implementation without concern for trying to be perfect each time.)

THAT is one of the greatest secrets of those who reach the top of their game and industry.

This is a rare skill – but one that anyone can master with practice.

Aim for a new sales party once a month – all leads from existing clients who wants to learn more about a continuity program are invited to a party, teleseminar, etc. to learn more about the program.

To your success,
