A self-made millionaire’s success secret revealed!
An article by Jim Connolly
A friend of mine recently told me what he thought was a key ingredient for anyone seeking to become a self-made millionaire. Here, in this article, I am going to share his secret with you and it may just change your life forever!
My friend made his first few million when he sold his software firm back in 2001. These days, he spends his time buying businesses, developing them and then selling them for massively more. He uses this ‘secret’ every time and it has helped him amass tens of millions.
OK – here’s his secret along with an explanation of how it works:
You can MASSIVELY increase your profits or income by making just marginal changes in the right places!
Certainly, in my 20 year study into success and results I would have to agree. In fact, I would say that this secret was a key factor in the success of every self-made person I have met or studied.
When people come to my seminars or ask me for advice, they often assume that they are doing 90% of things wrong in their business or career and 10% of things right. In my experience, the opposite is almost always true. However, the 10% of things they neglect are typically responsible for over 95% of their results!
For example. . .
It’s generally accepted that in sales, your attitude is responsible for around 95% to 97% of your results and your sales technique for just 3% to 5%. However, most salespeople and sales managers focus almost exclusively on developing sales technique - even though sales technique is responsible for just a few percent of one's results! They waste their time and money searching for that 'special' sales technique that will make them rich.
Come on - be serious for a moment! If this mystical sales technique existed, you would have heard of it by now!
If only these people invested in developing their attitude, they could earn six figures in commission every year like I did. In my sales career I managed to sell many, many millions of pounds (and dollars) worth of products and services. I achieved sales success at the very highest level - WITH NO SALES TRAINING WHATSOEVER!
Another great example is Time Management
Why do you think there is a multimillion pound industry surrounding time management, when anyone can master the essentials in just a few minutes? The answer is simple; people attend time management seminars or buy books or CD’s on the subject and get NOWHERE – so they buy another course, CD or book hoping to crack time management. Why does this happen?
Time management is 1% about time management technique & 99% self-motivation!
If a person is prone to putting off making awkward calls or they lack the discipline required to start a job and see it through to the end – all the time management training in the world is useless to them! People waste millions every year on the latest time management technique - even though time management technique is responsible for 1% of their time management problems. They focus on the wrong area and it costs them everything! Once a person realises that time management is all about self-motivation and they work on this area, they will never have a time management issue again and they can start achieving at the highest level.
I have developed an audio programme called The Motivation Master Class, which will show you exactly how to develop instant self-motivation - the most valuable skill in buinsess. To hear a free sample, click here http://www.jimconnolly.com/The-Motivation-Master-Class-p-16136.html
