4.How do you set yourself apart?

Becoming an expert in your field is best long-term way to attract abundance. You don’t need to have all answers to be an expert; in fact most experts rely on many other professionals in and out of their field. What makes you an expert is your will, your drive, your passion, your confidence, and your ability to create solutions for your customers’ needs.

Remember, people draw conclusions about things and about each other within a matter of seconds. You may have 20 seconds to convince a potential client or customer that you are solution to his or her problem. After that, you become lost in a current of information overload. So set yourself apart from crowd, and watch your business soar.

5.The Final Key To Building an Abundant Life: What Permission Do You Need To Give Yourself?

You already know deep down what you want to do. You have an idea what changes you need to make in your business. You know what’s not working.

You may be holding yourself back from taking actions you know you need to take. Somewhere in your subconscious you may be following harmful “rules” you’ve made for yourself. You may believe you don’t deserve wild success. You may believe that work can’t be fun. You may believe that you owe it to those around you to maintain status quo.

When you identify your restrictive beliefs, you can decide to let go of them. Be truthful with yourself. What permission do you need to give yourself to make all of your dreams a reality? Some examples may be: “Fire (or hire) those three people,” “Take only jobs/assignments that I would enjoy,” or “Make more money than anyone I know.” Be specific.

The Sky is Limit

You now have tools to develop a business strategy that capitalizes on your unique abilities and interests. Since many people are unable to objectively observe themselves, if you have difficulty answering any of these questions, brainstorm ideas with a business partner or a business coach. This is important, because sooner you incorporate these abilities into your business presentation, more prosperity you are able to attract. You will know what you have to share with world, and this knowledge is your single most powerful wealth-attraction tool.

Any of your competitors can read same business books and articles you do, but none of them can duplicate your heart and soul. Find right answers to these five questions and you can be certain your prospects will say, “I have GOT to work with you!”

Be prepared

Prepare yourself for conversation with producer of show you want to target. Try your approach on someone you know. If you can’t get their interest, there is a good chance your idea will fall flat with a producer. Some experts recommend sending a pitch letter first and then following up a day or two later. This can work, but if you speak to show’s producer directly, you will be able to sell idea at that point, as well as demonstrate your ability to engage an audience. Remember that you’re selling, so more excited you are about your project more likely someone else will be sold on it.

Follow-up

Always follow up on interviews. Add a unique code or e-mail address if you are able to. This will help you in tracking response from specific interview.

Always keep in contact with host or organiser of show to ensure that he/she thinks of you in future when opportunities present itself. You may be more likely to get an interview or article publishes in future if first one went well or if you have build a good relationship with this person.
