Which Idea Is The Profitable One?

Most entrepreneurs have an abundance of ideas but have a difficult time determining which one is worthy of their time. Who wants to pour a bunch of energy and money into a project, company or product that may give little return on investment? Nobody.

You always give something a whirl because you think you can make it successful.

Wouldn't it be cool to know an idea will be profitable before you begin? Can I hear a HELL YEAH?!

The most important evidence of future profitability is passion for the idea. You want to be able to dig into it and stay excited from beginning to end. If the idea will take years to implement, will you be able to remain enthused, daily, for the next five years?

I recently came up with a brilliant idea for a year long coaching program that would only be $97 a year with huge value given to the participants. I even mapped out a plan for how that program would generate even more sales. Yet, every time I considered the amount of time my team and I would have to invest, my passion fizzled.

After two weeks of ruminating on the idea — and never feeling 100% excited — the idea got nixed. It wasn't good enough to make me jump out of bed in the morning.

Which is the opposite of how I feel about my upcoming launch of my newest program. I've been working on it for over six months and I'm still in the honeymoon stage: in love, excited and willing to talk about it for hours.

Five Practices to Increase Profits Without Stress

When your main focus is on increasing profits and expanding the reach of your marketing it's incredibly easy to be taken down a dozen rabbit holes each day. There are so many marketing, leadership and small business experts giving abundant strategies to grow your business that it creates an obstacle course of to-dos for the average entrepreneur.

If you'll think less of implementing the 101 profit ideas you have and give more time to the following five, simple practices, you'll find that you'll have less stress and more profits without trying.

Your mind will want to divert you, but don't give in. Profitable businesses use some version of the following practices and have results to prove their power.

1. Always begin each brainstorming session, networking conversation or task knowing exactly what you want to get out of it. Never just show up and plunge into the task at hand without sitting down and giving conscious thought to your ideal outcome for each segment of your day.

2. Tap into your Inner Business Expert several times each day. Most people save their spiritual connection and intuition for after work-hours or when there is a crisis. When you decide to partner with your inner guidance, your business genius will be at full power. You can access out-of-the-box solutions, create new products and services, and feel at peace no matter how chaotic things might appear.

Who Can Help and How to Ask

I've been called a control freak, multitasker, goof ball, magnificent manifestor and just plain ole freak. I can relate to all of them. However, the one that really irritates me is when someone says I'm not very good at delegating.

Why? Because I see how often it doesn't even occur to me to ask for help. I'm used to figuring stuff out with my Inner Business Expert (aka Divine Guidance) or whoever is coaching me. After years of being single and a solo-entrepreneur I created a bad habit of handling everything myself.

I shifted this practice after I created a family. My time and energy was poured into feeding, bathing, cuddling, playing and cleaning up after my boys. I realized quickly that the only way to stay sane was to expand my circle of physical and mental support.

There is no way to generate a huge increase in profits, and sustain it, if you're not tapping into the expertise and leveraging the time of other people. Even if you have a GREAT team and you think you ask for help often, push your own boundaries on this topic.

Grow Your Business with Sheila E.'s Fun Formula

Even if you only have a few customers or clients, you're sitting on a goldmine. You just have to mine it.

Don't have any clients? No worries, you have the ability to connect with potential fans simply by being intentional with how you interact on social media, blog posts, phone calls and meetings.

Anywhere that you have the ability to express yourself, you have the ability to create a frenzy of people falling over themselves to get your products and services … and make them massive referral sources.

I watched Sheila E. do this at a performance this week and I was in awe. Sheila E. is a Grammy winning vocalist but she is best known for her rockin' drum skills. I'd never seen her live before this because I wasn't a true fan. But all that changed after one hour in her presence.

She intentionally created an environment at her sold out show that was all about the audience and showing off the talents of her band. She connected with everyone in the jazz club in a heartfelt and intimate way.

When Nothing Else Works, Use This Strategy for Weight Loss and Increased Profits

I recently posted on Facebook that I lost 15 pounds in six weeks. Of all the topics I've covered before, this one received the most "likes" and comments. I was shocked. Naturally, people really wanted to know my secret.

The short answer: I went on a raw foods cleanse and joined the gym.

The majority of people who tried this would not get the same results. That's because there is so much more to the story than diet and exercise.

The real story about my long-desired weight loss?

When I got pregnant with baby #2, I set the intention of manifesting my ideal body after his birth. I lost a ton of weight in those first few months, but my body would not release those last 25 pounds.

My baby's sleep pattern kept me from sleeping through the night until just recently. And that lack of sleep made me feel very unlike myself. I was out of balance with two kids, a business to run and no energy.

When you feel like that, you begin manifesting lots of stuff you don't want. I got sick more often; I was cranky; and while my gross income kept rising, so did my expenses.

The Cringe Factor

Focused on MoneyThe first time I heard the term "the cringe factor" I was sitting in a comfortable chair in an enormous home theatre at Robert Allen's house. I was there to mastermind with other coaches and business experts. I had no idea what to expect but I knew something good was going to come from this day.

I had interviewed Bob on my radio show eons ago about one of my favorite wealth building books The One Minute Millionaire. And now I was about to show him the marketing funnel of my business. I wasn't cringing over that. I was excited to get feedback and improve it.

When he asked what area of my business I resisted most, that's when my whole body shrank. I knew immediately my answer. I was not very good at asking for support from joint venture partners. Yep, I cringed at the thought. My cringe factor is what someone else in the room named it. Uh huh. Yuck.

When I dug a little deeper into why I cringed, it made me cringe even more. I didn't want to bother my partners. I didn't want to seem like a 'taker' or a leach. I had no problem supporting them. And if they offered to support me, I'd say yes. If my team asked for support from them, that was cool. But me? Not so much.

Because I do almost all of my marketing online, this cringe thing was a giant roadblock that I needed to shatter. Two things helped me downshift this cringe into a slight frown.

Money Games

Focused on MoneyWhen it comes to money, people get serious very quickly. "Put your money where your mouth is" implies that if you're serious about something, "pony up" the money and follow through.

I often watch business owners get excited about a business idea, goal or fantasy vacation and then immediately give up the thought when they think about the cost to implement. Dreams shattered merely by thinking a thought about money!

With all the seriousness and weight we put on the topic of money, it's amazing how this attitude doesn't make us any smarter about the way we spend and make money in our professional and personal life.

I've observed very intelligent people leaving money on the table by under- or over-pricing their products and services based on their emotions and thoughts born from a lack perspective about money.

So how do you balance your values, strategy and emotions so that you can profit and build your wealth? By turning it into a game!

Even if you don't like board games, card games, video games or charades, there is always an abundance of games to choose from that are fun and increase your wealth.

But there is one set of eyes that you may not be fully leveraging.

And what if that resource was at your beck and call every day?

Are you ready to go deeper spiritually to grow your business?

Turn Fear into Profits

Focused on MoneyI missed a huge opportunity for learning back in 1999, because I was so busy trying to "get it right". And that missed opportunity taught me how to turn my fears about business and leadership into courage and powerful actions.

I signed up for a leadership course that was a yearlong process through The Coaches Training Institute. I was a young whippersnapper but had been through other leadership training and felt like I was ahead of the curve. Hilarious, because a real leader doesn't think that way.

There were many opportunities for us to speak 'on stage' and facilitate the group. I was so busy trying to get the exercise right and worrying about how I did that I missed the opportunity to improve my leadership skills.

If I could do it all over again I'd be hungry for feedback to create learning for myself. I'd be eager to be present, do my best and see how it all worked out. Instead my fear was running the agenda and I felt totally uncomfortable when I was standing in front of my peers. I was not having fun and my results proved it.

Now when I'm stretching out of my comfort zone I ask for as much pertinent data — feedback, input, masterminding and help — as I possibly can. I ask powerful questions about the things I'm wary of or need more expertise. I admit my ignorance or fears on the subject at hand so that I can transform it into knowledge and results.

You may find yourself sulking back into your comfort zone when instead you really want to stretch. Maybe you want to offer a new service but you don't know how it would all come together. Maybe you want to expand your business by hiring a new team member or mentor but your lack of money gets in the way of you taking the next step.

Take on the fear. Untangle the old stories, reality and intent. Face what is so, and let that drive you into a passion for taking on the task or dream with excitement and vigor. [Read more...]
