How To Plan For Success
(c) by John Colanzi
Marketers come online and they're in such a hurry
to make money, they neglect one of the most essential ingredients to
success.
They don't take the time to put together their battle plan. They know
where they want to go, but they never sit down and map out how they're
going to get there.
They're like ships without a crew. They're tossed to and fro and have
no idea why.
If you're serious about your business, you need a plan.
Your business should be planned like a well thought out battle. If you
haven't got your plan in place you'll suffer casualties.
You won't suffer loss of life, but you will suffer losses of:
* Money
* Time
* Opportunity
Just as the well honed warrior prepares for all possible occurrences,
you must be prepared to last through the slow times, and be just as
prepared to capitalize on the times when it appears you can do no
wrong.
The first step on your march to the flag is to decide who you are. In
the immortal words of Shakespeare, "In brief sir, study that which you
most affect".
Know your strengths and know your weaknesses. You'll never be truly
successful until you've first made an inventory of your-self. You can
study all the "How-To's" and you may even make money, but to be truly
be successful you must have your "Why-To's" in place.
Once you've decided who you are and listed your strengths and
weaknesses, the next step is to determine how much money you have for
your war chest.
Only use money you can afford to lose. As any professional trader or
championship gambler will tell you, "Scared money never wins!"
Don't mortgage your house or max-out your credit cards because you've
got the million dollar sure-fire winner.
You'll be so busy worrying, you won't be able to think clearly.
Take money you won't miss and test-test-test. Your thinking will be
much clearer and when your testing finally hits on a winning formula
you'll be ready to capitalize.
When you've got your winning formula, you should pyramid your profits
to expand your business. A minimum of 50% of your profits should go
back into your business in the first 6 months.
If you're only using money you can live comfortably without, you should
place 100% back into marketing, you'll have plenty of time to enjoy the
fruits of your labors!
The final step in your battle plan is to keep a log book.
Just as generals study battles from the past and chess players study
strategies from the old masters, you must begin your own manual.
Don't rely on your memory!!
In your manual keep every advertising campaign you've waged. Be as
detailed as possible. List what has worked and what hasn't.
Key your ads to determine where your profits are coming from.
Test media used, actual ads and sells letters, etc. Sculpt your
business. If your business is based on profits, the best way to insure
profits is the same way you'd carve an elephant out of granite.
"Remove everything that's not an elephant!"
In your business remove everything that isn't profitable.
Be ruthless with that chisel.
Don't marry any method of promotion, or any one opportunity.
If you do you'll spend time chasing losses, instead of accumulating
profits.
Put some thought and effort into your plan and you'll be a step ahead
of the competition.
Wishing You Success,
