Importance of Marketing

One of my recent seminar I went to Guerrilla Business Intensive (One of T.Harv Eker's series of courses), it really occurred to me the importance of marketing. The training mentioned that the time & effort spend on a business should be the following:
  • 60% Marketing
  • 20% Operation
  • 20% Production
There are successful people who have marketed a product that they don't have yet, raised interest and get people to pre-paid before they go and buy/create/produce it.

But sometimes we get bog down by the paperwork, or getting the product right. But we forget the importance of getting the customers! So get the people in, before worrying about the paperwork and product.

In terms of property investment, get the seller leads first, then think about the paperwork, etc.

In terms of business get the demand first.

Remember: Focus 60% on Marketing

Helping others step forward, achieving results

Recently in the last 2 weeks I have been to many trainings and seminars. Meeting lots of new people which has given me an opportunities to speak to and help others to take particular action that they didn't feel comfortable in. By helping, encouraging and push them a little, it really makes a difference for them to step out of their comfort zone. It's a great feeling and satisfaction when you have seen/helped someone grow, for them to move forward.

Also I am so glad that someone pushed and helped me to do a task which I have put off a while, I thought I didn't have the right knowledge and setup to do that. But tonight i will do my 1st Teleseminar to a group of people.

Some of the task which when in Hindsight might seem easy but when first doing them to many people, including myself may sometimes feel uncomfortable doing them, maybe it is because of the following: 
  • we have never done a task before
  • lack of knowledge
  • bad experience
  • fear
  • worried about what people thinks
  • also other thoughts, feeling and experiences
So next time when you don't feel like doing something, be aware of your Thoughts and Feelings. Because that's what is stopping you from taking the necessary Actions to achieve your Results.

Also tell someone your goals and results you want to achieve and that they are willing to support you.  Get them to hold you accountable and encourage you to take the actions. Because actions is where it will give you results.

Remember TFAR
Thoughts > Feelings > Actions = Results
