Make Your Business Work Like Magic

Written by Susan Carter

I've been fascinated by magic and magicians since I was little. A successful magician can reach behind my ear, say "abracadabra" and - voila - pull out a quarter. Or with focused concentration, and two taps of a wand, a rabbit comes out of a top hat that was previously proven empty. On a bigger scale, a successful magician can drape a silk cape over a caged tiger and with a grand gesture and repparttar

flip of a wrist - poof - repparttar 144135

cape falls to repparttar 144136

ground and repparttar 144137

caged tiger has disappeared.

I love that stuff. It's amazing. It's magic.

But it wasn't until I tried to learn a few magic tricks myself that I discovered repparttar 144138 key to such effortless success. It didn't come from repparttar 144139 words being uttered, or repparttar 144140 brand of top hat being used, or repparttar 144141 type of cape being flung ... those are just repparttar 144142 props and tools of repparttar 144143 trade. The success of repparttar 144144 magic comes from something we don't see on stage ... repparttar 144145 endless hours of repetitive practice.

Even simple slight of hand isn't really simple ... it is practiced and perfected before it is ever performed. The resulting trick performed to an audience must become seemingly effortless and automatic. It can be re-choreographed. It can be reinvented. Yet, repparttar 144146 success is in being able to do it over and over again; not in being able to do it once every third or fourth try.

Can you guess where I'm going with this in how it relates to your business?

You are repparttar 144147 magician of your business, and your customers are your audience. They are repparttar 144148 ones who pay to receive whatever you promise to deliver. Whether it is a magic show, a product, or a service, your job is to give your audience (customers) an experience they'll want to have over and over again.
