In our nation — THE land of opportunity — a business fails every SIXTY SECONDS.  We launch more success stories, and more failures than anywhere else in the world.  AND THAT MAKES ME HAPPY!  Happy?  Yes, because people are taking risks to change their lives.  But of course, I want you to be one of the success stories.  A 7 Figure Success Story, to be specific.  Because when you hit THAT level, you’ve built a business you can sell.  And how do you HIT that level? You practice business acceleration! And you learn to practice that from The 7 Figure Business Builder — me! Watch this video to learn the ingredients to my 7 Figure Business Formula.  Want more training (and who wouldn’t)?  Join my monthly video mentoring site — hugely affordable at $99 a month.  THIS is how I support new start-up entrepreneurs — or those entreperenurs who simply can’t leave their businesses to work with me in person in San Francisco.

To your amazing and IMMEDIATE success,

PS: In the spirit of great free gifts, if you have not gotten my FREE CD on building a 7 Figure Business, you’re missing a vital key to your 7 Figure Success Story. http://www.bit.ly/iBmuI

You’re an entrepreneur (or INTRApreneur) for a very good reason: YOUR reason! I’m willing to bet that you are PASSIONATE and DEDICATED and have the drive necessary to succeed.

But do you have the business experience and systems that will improve your chances of success? Because Passion and Dedication alone will only take you so far in business. You’ll need proven knowledge and systems too.

If you know you need a primer on the basics of building a thriving business… things like:

* Having an entrepreneur’s mindset and knowing what your REAL job is as the owner of your company…

* Creating a KILLER business plan that clearly and concisely outlines your long-term vision and guides your daily, weekly and monthly actions…

* Building a DREAM TEAM of employees, contractors, advisors and influencers, who will enhance the value of your business and provide massive amounts of leverage

* Learn great selling techniques that allow you to spend more time landing quality deals… and less time trying to sell to unqualified prospects

* How to get various types of FUNDING for your business so that you can continue to grow year after year!

* And more!

Then you’ll want to join me at my 7 Figure Business Summit. If you decide that you’re ready to be hugely successful in 2010, I’d love you to come work with a group of like-minded leaders (and ME) at my 7 Figure Business Building Summit. http://www.7FigureBusinessSummit.com

High-performance people have an inherent tension: the struggle between the desire to lead and the reluctance to let go of the reins. Heck, let’s admit it: some days it’s nice to just follow. Why? Because the price of leadership is high: you have to make big decisions, take big risks, and put your neck on the chopping block on a daily basis.

However, the follower pays an equally high price. Sure, it looks easier to follow, but that can be a fallacy. As they say, followers have the same view until they get up front. And what if you don’t like where the dog sled is heading?

But here’s the key: Every company or social group has a cult-ure (some more “culty” than others). And you need to figure out where you belong in the hierarchy–or if you even belong at all. That’s why, when you join a company, the first thing to do is size up its cult-ure. What are its tribal customs? Its ceremonial costumes? How deep in do you want to go?

It’s great to be part of a company whose mission you believe in, but it’s perilous to give total allegiance to your boss simply because he or she is in a position of power. (I still remember my boss for the Domino’s Pizza gig constantly hectoring me to “be more like Doug”. But in reality, “being a better Christine” was my real path to success.) Be willing to look the part, but don’t buy the whole program if you don’t believe it. And please, please be clear about why you’re making your choices; every compromise has a cost.

The world needs team players and leaders both. It just helps to figure out whether you’re the right person in the wrong position. So this week, look deep inside yourself and ask: Am I a leader or a follower? Because one isn’t necessarily better than the other; you just need to be clear on which role fits you better. And remember – you might fit different roles in different cultures.

If you decide that you’re ready to be a Leader, come work with a group of like-minded leaders (and ME) at my 7 Figure Business Building Summit.

I remember when I got a gig writing a column for PC Week. A wonderful mentor of mine introduced me to the top brass there, and I offered to help de-mystify new technologies for their corporate audience. I wrote up 5 sample columns for free to show them how I might be of service to their readers. I brought benefits, not demands, to the table – and I got the job!

Because of my articles, I started getting hundreds of letters each month. I’d read every word and respond to them as a show of thanks to the editor for hiring me to write those columns. So what’s my point?

While it’s easy to get carried away by the heady feeling of a magazine profile, a favorable mention of your company, or a microphone stuck under your nose, remember that the media isn’t there to serve you. You’re there to serve them.

Think of the media as an extension of your network. In fact, they will be one of your best resources if you treat the relationship wisely. Find ways to serve them and they may become some of your best friends. So this week, ask yourself these questions:

–How can I be a connector?
–Can I put journalists in touch with helpful sources?
–Can I put business people in touch with one another?
–Is there an information gap that I can plug?

And remember–the key here is not to have a Rolodex you can “work”. After all, do you really want to be one of those insincere types who pull up their Outlook contact notes to ask how somebody’s spouse (fill-in-the-name) is doing when you don’t really care? That’s not what you want. You want REAL relationships formed over GREAT experiences.

(Now my plug! If you’re building a 7 Figure Business, the BEST place to find those like-minded people is my 7 Figure Business Building Summit. The early bird special price ends in less than two weeks, so click through now – and don’t forget, you can still bring a friend for half price! That’s TWO of you for $1,497 – unbelievable.) http://www.7FigureBusinessSummit.com  

To your success and your winning relationships!

PS: This is the ONE event you must be at this year (if you’re REALLY ready to rock your business and rock your life:
http://www.7FigureBusinessSummit.com

What is the one thing that holds you back from achieving your dreams?

Is it money? Time? Lack of resources? I don’t think so.

I’ll bet anything that it’s the fear of failure. But you’re in good company, because this is the single biggest hurdle to success that people have. Truth be told, you’re going to have some so called “failures” in life, sometimes one right after another. But if you want to be a successful entrepreneur or intrapreneur, you have to embrace risk instead of running from it.

Take a stab at opportunity whenever it presents itself. You won’t always measure up (I sure haven’t) but that doesn’t mean you have to walk away from the game. Remember–you’re playing to WIN, not to avoid losing. So how exactly do you bounce back from any failure without as much as a scratch? By learning to “fail forward”.

When things don’t go your way, just take a breath, regroup, and bounce back higher and harder. It’s okay to fall down seven times…just as long as you get back up at least eight times. And every time you get up, you’ll be stronger, wiser, and better suited to take on the next challenge.

Here’s an easy way to get started right away: write the words “Fail Forward” with a big Sharpie on a blank sheet of paper and tape it somewhere where you can see it. That way, when those inevitable failures happen (and they will), you’ll always be reminded that you’re not taking a step backwards…but a step forward, towards your goal.

Trust me–it’ll help tremendously to Make Your Venture Mighty!

Until next time, Christine
