3 Ways To Accelerate Independence

By Dan S. Kennedy

Most people reading this have goals. If you do not, you need to stop reading, close
your business for a couple days, lock yourself away in quiet and private and figure out
what you want and don't want. But let's assume you have goals. If you do, you would
probably like to reach them faster. After all, we live in a lightning speed, amazingly
impatient world.

What most entrepreneurs' experience, at some point in their lives, is what I call the
"wealth sprint to independence." Yes, life's a marathon. But almost every highly
successful entrepreneur has had the same experience I've had: a short sprint of 3, 4
or 5 years where you achieve more than in the previous 15, 20 or 30 years. What
makes this sprint happen? If you knew, could you force it to happen immediately?

There are many factors in order to accelerate your independence and I'd like to
discuss a few of the most important ones with you:

(1) INCREASED INVESTMENT IN VASTLY SUPERIOR MARKETING AND PROMOTION

Virtually everyone who's done the 'wealth sprint to independence', kicked it off with
advertising, marketing or sales breakthrough or related business breakthrough, such
as premium pricing. For one, a TV infomercial; for another, joint venture alliances or
'parasite' opportunities with other entrepreneurs; for another, adding tele-seminars;
for another use of the Internet.

One way or another, they found a new or better way to apply some proven marketing
strategy or tool to their business and did so aggressively. This is why it is so vital to
be a very, very serious student of successful marketing. To be on the constant hunt for
that one idea, that one 'tweak'.

(2) IMPROVED WEALTH CONSCIOUSNESS

I don't mean to sound esoteric. But, believe me, us multi-millionaire 'independent'
entrepreneurs do think about money differently from the rest of the folk. Profoundly so.
For example, we know that money is infinite, not finite; that price is incredibly elastic;
that everybody finds the money to buy what they are really motivated to buy; that it's
always a great economy for the adept marketer.

We have no hang-ups about sales, promotion. This is why it is very important to
associate with such people any and every way you can, so their unorthodox thinking
can become your thinking.

This is why tele-coaching and coaching groups, tele-seminars, tapes, books and
newsletters from such bona fide sources are of such immense value. Quite frankly, if
you're not hitting your independence goals as rapidly and easily as you'd like, it
probably has a lot more to do with your thinking than your business, its location, its
customers, its competitors or other external factors.

(3) INTENSE EFFORT

We do a lot and get a lot done. I'm amazed and dismayed at how little others make
happen, hour by hour, day by day. Here's a good question: if I came to your business
on a field trip and followed you around all day, every day, for a week, how impressed
and in awe would I be at.

Everything you do everyday to attract new customers?
Everything you do to convert leads, to get more value from leads?
Everything you do to analyze your business everyday?
Everything you do to nurture the relationship with your customers?
Everything you do to manage your time effectively?
Everything you do to improve your knowledge and skill?
Everybody you associate with?

Not just one or two things - everything - lots of things.

If I wouldn't be all that impressed then you shouldn't be either, and you should be
striving to up the ante on your productivity.

The Pros And Cons Of Reply All And Bcc

There are differences to using the reply all or bcc features of email. The reply all feature is used when there is a listing of people attached to an email sent to a recipient. The bcc is the blind carbon copy feature of email. It is used when a person sends an email and also wants to copy someone else on it, unbeknownst to the person receiving the email.

When a recipient gets an email with a long list of reply all people added to it, it is easy to write a return message and hit reply all to send the message to everyone already listed on the listing. But there can be disadvantages to using the reply all button for returning an email. It seems to be a convenient way to write back to others who have a similar question in mind. But, this can cause problems though, for certain servers when the listing is characterized by an overly large distribution list.

For example, if a state agency human resources department sends out a letter to remind all of the employees that they need remember a date to sign up for health coverage, there may be hundreds of names on the list. If each member writes back to hr with short questions regarding eligibility, and hits the reply all button, then each member on the list will become a recipient of the email. This is an example where it would be better for the employees not to utilize the reply all option. If hundreds of people received the original email, and each person has a spot on the distribution list, then when they each respond with minor questions and click reply all, the amount of emails that will be generated are mind boggling.

The better option when a sender needs to send a message to hundreds of people is to use the bcc option instead of reply all. This way, the same message will be sent to many people, but only one person will be listed as the recipient. If that person then chooses to reply, he or she is only replying to the sender. This is a more viable option than mistakenly, or purposefully hitting reply all and sending questions to people who may not have the answer to it in the first place, and who were never intended to be responded to after the fact.

Another advantage of the bcc field is that it is, in fact, blind to the recipient. The sender knows who is listed in that field, but the message to the recipient is that the person feels the email is sent to him or her alone. Take the case of a job applicant who is wondering if she got the job applied for or not. If she receives a message that she did not get the job, and finds that she is listed with a dozen or more other people, who she has never heard of, she knows that it is just a mass rejection letter that she is receiving. She may look over the listing, and feel a certain amount of bad will, since her name is also available for public view, in the list of everyone who did not make the cut for the job. If the employer had just cut and pasted all the names of the people it was planning to reject, and used a bcc list instead, each person getting the rejection email would feel the rejection was more personally delivered. It offers the anonymity that a person rejected for a position would want, and it just makes good sense.
