The Richest are Masters of this....

Here’s a huge block for many, a gigantic wall most people can never get past. Here’s a WEALTH FILE that you will need to make sure is filled with BELIEFS that are positive and empowering.

These reviews of your WEALTH FILES are based on the book “Secrets of the Millionaire Mind” by my friend and mentor Harv Eker. And although they are only a piece of the puzzle in winning the money game, they are a part of your foundation that is perhaps the most critical to your success, because we’re talking about your BELIEFS.

If one of your goals in life is financial freedom, you MUST have BELIEFS that are supportive towards achieving the goal. You will take action based on your BELIEFS, or NOT take action based on your BELIEFS, so you better be sure that you’ve programmed yourself for success.

Would you like to know what you are currently programmed for in the area of money?

Look at your results. Look at your life. Look at your income. Look at your assets. Look at your net worth. That’s exactly what you’re currently programmed for.

Would you like to get some different results? Because if you answered yes, you are going to have to start by changing your BELIEFS, so that you can start changing your ACTIONS, which will start to change your RESULTS.

As you read through these WEALTH FILES, you can choose to keep your current beliefs, or you can consider changing the information inside these files so that they lead you to success. IT’S ENTIRELY UP TO YOU!

Harv Eker’s Wealth File #8

Rich people are willing to promote themselves and their value.
Poor people think negatively about selling and promotion.

When I running Peak Potentials Training, we offered an amazing 3 day seminar called the Millionaire Mind Intensive. It’s one of over a dozen programs that Peak Potentials provides. During the event we’d offer “at seminar” specials for various other programs. Most attendees were thrilled to know about these offers and took full advantage of them, but there would always be a few that resented any promotion, even if it was for their benefit.

Is that you? I hope not.

Resenting promotion is one of the greatest obstacles to success. If you have a problem with selling and promotion, chances are, you’re broke. If you’re in business for yourself or you sell for others, how are people going to know what you’ve got to offer if you don’t promote it? If you’re an employee, you have to promote your virtues, or else someone who does will pass you by.
There are several reasons why some people have a problem with promotion and sales.

Have you ever been hounded by the “high pressure” salesman? Most people have. And most people don’t like to be “pressured”, so most people have a negative attitude about sales people in general. The fact is most people LIKE TO BUY, they just don’t like to be sold. It’s all in how you present it.

Maybe you tried your hand at sales once and you got totally rejected. At least, that’s how it felt. Of course, that’s what you’ve stored in your WEALTH FILE. You now have a fear of failure and rejection based on your past experience. Remember, the past does not necessarily equal the future.

Many of us were raised not to brag. In the business world however, if you don’t toot your own horn, who’s going to do it for you? No one! A wealthy person is willing to promote their value to everyone and anyone who is willing to listen, and hopefully do business with them.

Then, there are those that believe that sales and marketing is “beneath” them. They’re so good, people should just naturally want to use their services or products without having to promote them at all. Unfortunately, you’ll go broke believing that everyone will just find you.

In almost every instant, rich people are excellent promoters. They are willing to promote their values constantly with enthusiasm and passion. They also have the ability to present their value in an attractive package that makes it all the more appealing. In my lifetime, I’ve seen some of the best, and without a doubt, Harv Eker is the greatest promoter I have ever seen. He knows exactly what he writes about.

There are 2 kinds of people in the world, leaders and followers. Which group do you think earns more money? Rich people are usually leaders. Leaders have to successfully promote themselves and their ideas to their followers and supporters. If they don’t, they won’t lead for long. But you can be sure that leaders earn a lot more than followers.

It doesn’t even matter if you even like to promote or not, it’s more about why you’re promoting. If you don’t believe that the value you have to offer won’t help others improve their lives or solve their problems, you will have a difficult time promoting. But if you BELIEVE that the value you are offering will have a major impact on your customers and clients, you will have a passion to share this knowledge with as many people as you can.

If you aren’t completely sold on the value you are providing to others, it’s time to evaluate whether you should find something else to promote that you can be passionate about. Your WEALTH FILES must be filled with BELIEFS of the TRUE VALUE you are providing. To acquire riches, you will have to provide something in return for the wealth you are receiving. Make sure it’s something you can promote with passion and enthusiasm.
Now, place your hand on your chest and declare….

I PROMOTE MY VALUE TO OTHERS WITH PASSION AND ENTHUSIASM!

Namaste.

Jeff

Jeff, I sell for a living and I know first hand that you must believe in what you sell. People can see right through you if you cannot be enthusiastic about your product.

We all "sell" for living. To help others and show virtue one should start with oneself. To believe and promote the self is critical for growth. Then let others see inside you!

Jeff,

I know you didn't set out to get this response from this blog, but check this out.

I have attended the MMI and saw first hand the "at seminar" specials you're refering to. 90% of the people there didn't even turn around to see what the table looked like in the back. It must have been some sort of demon.

Then there were the handful of people that were taking action and taking advantage of the specials.

And finally, I met a few people that were there at the MMI a second time, just so they could take advantage of the "at seminar" prices they missed out on the first time around.

So based on that scenario, most of those people were probably against the promotions.

Hi Jeff,

That's an interesting observation. It's been 3 years since I left Peak Potentials and perhaps things have changed.

Throughout my time running the company, we could predict within a very few dollars how many programs would be sold at the event.

We found that between 25 to 35 percent of all the people who attended the MMI bought additional programs at the MMI. The majority didn't, although they might have bought some books or tapes.

It wasn't that they didn't like the programs, it was mostly because they didn't have any money to buy the programs.

Heck, I'd have people call me up for days after every event wanting to know if we could offer financing or other ways for them to get the "at seminar" rates. Just because many didn't buy doesn't mean that they didn't want to.

The point of this WEALTH FILE is that if you don't promote yourself and your value, and you aren't willing to promote yourself and your value with passion and enthusiasm, you will struggle financially. I know you agree with me that Marketing and Sales are critical to financial success.

Namaste.

Jeff
