1. LIFE SKILL FOR BUSINESS
==========================

Adapt-ability Use the R.A.M.M. Formula™ to Stay on Course

Old eastern wisdom suggests, "What is open and flexible grows, and what is closed and rigid eventually withers and dies."

Adaptability is the creative response to change. Today's climate mandates that we be more adaptable, flexible and flowing in the face of change. It is one of the vital life skills we must develop and after 9/11, one of the most important. Now is a very good time to establish a new vision for yourself and your work.

Treat yourself to one solid hour of uninterrupted quiet time each week to answer some important questions. Try these on:

WHY DO YOU WORK? How is it a means to greater ends? How is it an end in and of itself? What would you be doing or like to do if you didn't "have to" work any more? Here's a tough one: "What would you do if you knew you had a short time left to live?"

HOW DOES YOUR LIFE/WORK PROVIDE YOU WITH MEANING AND PURPOSE? Meaning and purpose are key ingredients to reach fulfillment in our life as well as success in our work. Identify which things in your work give you a sense of meaning and purpose.

WHAT KIND OF LIVELIHOOD AND LIVING DO YOU REALLY WANT? What would it be like when it's the way you want it? Do you want to work forever or will you walk away some day? Do you have an "exit strategy?" What is it?

WHAT CAN YOU CHANGE OR DO DIFFERENTLY TO MAKE LIFE, LIVELIHOOD AND LIVING THE WAY YOU WANT THEM? If these are not exactly the way you want or envision them, how will you change, adapt, revise, shift or modify to get it the way you want it?

ARE YOU WILLING TO TAKE THE ACTION NECESSARY? Wanting something is easy. Being willing to do what's necessary to achieve what you want is a whole different dimension and level of commitment. Have you made a firm decision to take action? Are you ready to do something? Chances are you will have to do something different. Are you prepared?

WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU WILL DO? WHEN WILL YOU DO IT?

Are you often too busy doing "busy-ness" that you don't take the personal time to reflect, re-evaluate and recharge the mental batteries?

Redefine your destination with as much clarity as you can muster. As the pilot you want to plot your flight plan before taking off. We stay on course by keeping our destination clearly in mind every step of the way. There may be tremendous turbulence. Wind currents blow us off course. Weather forces changes in direction.

THIS REQUIRES ADAPT-ABILITY.

Despite incredible odds, a pilot accomplishes the primary objective virtually 100% of the time, making sure the plane and its precious cargo arrive safely. And more than 90% of the time they arrive on schedule. To me, that is remarkable.

How would your life and work be better if you had that kind of success rate and "on-time" record?

The RAMM Formula™ Will Take You Anyplace You Really Want To Go!

R = Result: What is your outcome or destination? What result do you want?
A= Action: What actions will you take to get you moving toward your result?
M= Measure: Are you on or off course? Getting closer to or further away?
M= Modify: What changes, revisions, adjustments will you make to stay on course?

Decide your destination. Plot your flight plan. Choose a flight path. Take off. Be pro-active. Measure and modify your actions and results against your destination. Then, be flexible. Be willing admit when you get off course, make a mistake or take a wrong turn.

Be ready to shift, revise, alter, or modify your course heading. Make whatever in-course corrections are necessary to get you to your next port of call, and ultimately to your destination. Keep making sure that where you are headed is still important to you.

You cannot fail, presuming you are committed enough not to quit and you are willing to keep on going until you get there. Make your journey the destination. Then you are fulfilled and "successful" whether or not you arrive at your port of call.

The journey itself becomes your daily success. There is no failure. There is only success or learning.

Shift your paradigm. You succeed or learn. Learning is a better outcome than failing. Learning is much more exciting, energizing, motivating and stimulating. It makes you want to try again.

BE WILLING TO CHANGE! BE WILLING TO LEARN! BE WILLING TO ADAPT.

Life Skill for Business:

Adapt. Be ready to move to the next peak of success and fulfillment in your work and in your life by being flexible and adaptable.

Keep asking the important questions. They might be the best gift you give to yourself today!

2. BUSINESS SKILL FOR LIFE
================================

Leverage-ability OPC (Other People's Customers)

We know about using OPM (Other People's Money), OPE (Other People's Effort) and OPT (Other People's Time) as common ways to leverage our opportunities and success.

In today's business climate, opportunities abound to leverage something else: OPC (Other People's Customers).

Last Friday, we had a very spirited tele-seminar on...

"How to Create Joint Ventures that Leverage OPC (Other People's Customers)."

For my first job in 1978, I made 5,000 cold calls in the heart of Manhattan. I made ZERO sales. Few people wanted to buy a fax machine in 1978. Nobody wanted to buy TWO of them (one wouldn't do you any good unless your other offices had one). I vowed never to make another cold call again.

For the past 23 years, I haven't made a single cold call. I have built every business and company through networking, referrals and OPC, (Other People's Customers).

This Friday, I will share some of the strategies that helped me leverage OPC, and tap into tens of thousands of prospective buyers for virtually ZERO cost.

If you were on the call last week, join us again as I will get very specific about how I've been able to create more than 100 joint ventures that have reached hundreds of thousands of people and generated more than $1 million in revenue.

We'll also share licensing strategies to show you how YOU can license your own material and/or someone else's material.

Here are just a few of the tips we'll share. Here are some of the "what to do's" - we'll explain the "how to do's" in detail.

Look for people/businesses who...


WHOM DO YOU KNOW THAT FITS THE DESCRIPTION? Make a list, and start to call them.

How you do it is..

Keep in mind. You only need a few, maybe even ONE good joint venture to boost your activity, productivity and profitability.

We'll discuss much more, and give real live examples in our tele-conference.

This Week's Business Skill for Life:

Leverage OPC (Other People's Customers). Joint Venture.

3. TELE-CONFERENCES
================================

We have run a series of FREE tele-conferences over the past few months. Many people have told us they got more from our FREE calls than in many of the paid-for calls and fee-based training they have attended.

So, we are going to offer these again this week with one twist: the calls cost $20 each.

That's right, just $20. How much do you need to get your $20 worth, the cost of a lunch? I don't know. If you had the chance to take someone to lunch who, in one hour could show you how to do all of the following, would you spend $20 to buy them lunch?

If the answer is yes, then let's "do lunch" and I'll show you how to:

FREE If You Act Today

Participate FREE in a tele-seminar series sponsored by Axelrod Learning and featuring the authors of The Ultimate Tax-Reduction System for small and home-based businesses ­ called "It's What You KEEP, That Counts! Not what you Make."

"Congress has told the IRS to give Special Refunds worth thousands of dollars to taxpayers who had any kind of small or home-based business in 1998, 1999, or 2000, and to pay interest in the money refunded!

"PLUS, anyone who has (or starts) a small or home-based business this year can qualify for so many deductions that you could slash your tax bill in HALF or more!"

This seminar promises to show you exactly how to easily and legally save thousands in taxes AND how to increase your take-home pay by hundreds of dollars per month, all just for having a small home-based business. This step-by-step system covers the dozens of tax laws passed by Congress to encourage Americans to start and run their own small or home-based business.

Ron Mueller and Scott Turner are conducting this FREE series to thank you for being one of the first to purchase their new tax-reduction system and to help you get the maximum tax-savings benefits from it. The tele-seminars will be live and interactive, so have your questions ready.
