WHAT IS YOUR VALUE?

It is important to stay focused when working on building your business. You need to be doing things that really matter. And one of the areas that really matters is increasing your value.

Becoming better at who you are and what you do.  Not just in your ‘business life’, but in your personal life as well.

You should balance both ‘lives’ by adopting a personal and business growth strategy.

Personal & Business Growth Strategy

I have books, magazines, and stuff I have printed from the internet everywhere.  I have them in my car, my brief case, my kitchen table, the bed room, my office, and probably places that I don’t even remember.

I am constantly, maybe too often, surfing the web looking for self help, business education and marketing information.

If you want to make your business explode – increase your intellectual breadth and depth in a diversity of areas.

Mine include…

• Business
• Online business
• Marketing
• Leadership
• Public Speaking
• Health
• Diabetes (Type1)
• Fitness
• Youth Soccer Coaching
• Website Development

The point of all this is…   I have read hundreds of books and listened to hundreds of hours of training on a wide range of subjects.   That is the leading factor in my success.

Every day I find myself reading or listening to something that sparks a new idea in my little brain.

Most of you were probably sold on the idea that if you just followed your companies plan you would make tons of money.  How’s that working out for you?  That’s what I thought.

When you don’t make as much as you expected, they tell you to just work harder.   Call some more friends or relatives, etc…

You can certainly make money by ONLY following what ‘the company’, your branch leaders, or other consultants teach you. But don’t you want MORE than that? Don’t you want to create an intellectual and educational vault that you can pull from at any moment.  A vault of information that you can use to figure out how to do better marketing, better recruiting, more sales.  Wouldn’t it be great to have a whole wealth of information that you could pass on to your own team of recruits?

Don’t you want to create a business based on your own ideas and concepts rather than regurgitating another’s thoughts?

A PBGS (Personal and Business Growth Strategy) shapes you into a more valuable and useful human being.

You should read one book for each sitcom you watch.

Two books for every sporting event you attend.

And so forth.

What you listen to, watch and read influence who you are. Who you are influences those around you.

You say, “BUT I just want to make money selling my product line.”

Really?

How many books have you STUDIED on sales? How many seminars on team building  have you attended and applied? Name two personal development books you have read recently.  How many educational products have you actually consumed, distilled and taken action on?????

What If I said, “I want to master the French language.” And you looked on my bookshelf and saw one book. Would you think I was serious?

What if you saw 10 books?

What if you saw 25 books, dictionaries, workbooks, DVDs and I told you I couldn’t go to dinner with you tonight because at a French class at the local college?

Ah…. Then you would say, “I guess you’re serious about learning French.”

You need a disciplined PBGS.  Invest in YOU.  Personally and professionally. You won’t just have a successful business, but you will have a significant life.

ASSIGNMENT: Go to your book shelf. If you were a guest in your home what would you say you were interested in? What would you say you were really serious about?

In a future post, we’ll look at figuring out your PBGS and two specific ways to approach it that will result in a massive explosion of your Home Show Party Sales business.

You may be thinking – we’ll I’ve already tried reading all about sales, motivation, etc… and it hasn’t helped me out. Part 2 will help with that as well.

Our purpose at Home Show Party Sales is to give you the tools you need to succeed in your business and personal life.  This idea of learning all you can does not just apply to your business.

If you are having trouble with your teenage child, get a book on teenage psychology.   Trouble with training your dog?  Look for videos on dog training.  Marriage problems?  Visit the library and read every book you can find on the subject.

Never stop educating your self.  Even if you have been doing this for a long time, there is always something new you can learn.

What is it that you are learning about currently?   Got any ideas that would help others get educated?  What do you think about this article?   Leave a comment below.  We get lonely if know one talks to us.
