Take a look at this Frank Kern video and find out what is your authority self image. Successful leaders are individuals with high levels of personal power. Understanding the difference between personal power and granted authority is a significant distinction. Many people have the tendency to use the words authority and power interchangeably; however, these terms refer to two very different aspects of leadership.

Authority is the right granted from a person or organization to another to represent or to act in a specified way. For example, a CEO of a company is given the authority by the Board of Directors to run the company. In turn, the CEO places managers in positions of authority over the various divisions, business units, or departments of the organization.

Power is the capacity or ability to direct or influence the behavior of others. Former United States President, Dwight D. Eisenhower, captured the essence of this definition when he said, “Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.” Everyone possesses the potential to be powerful. Power is a personal talent that you can develop and use to achieve worthwhile goals. It does not depend upon title, rank, position, or authority. It’s simply the ability to motivate others to take specific actions.

Authority is granted but always has defined limits. Power is earned and can be limitless. Authority is derived through the position. Power is derived from an individual’s personal influence, which increases effectiveness. Two leaders in exactly the same position of authority can and will have different amounts of power. A person can possess a great deal of power and absolutely no authority. Conversely, someone can have authority and absolutely no power. Leaders who have not earned sufficient power sometimes make the mistake of trying to influence others by overexerting their authority. But excessive use of authority can cause employees to rebel in much the same way that children rebel against restrictive parents.

Effective leaders recognize authority as a valuable and necessary tool when used judiciously, and they invoke their authority extremely sparingly. Instead, they use the power they have earned to create a climate of trust, cooperation, and accomplishment in which people are positively motivated to pursue their own goals and the goals of the organization. In fact, the amount of responsibility you take on is directly linked to the amount of power and influence you possess. One way to further increase your personal power is to seek additional responsibility.

To be a successful leader, you must always be yourself. Be intentional about shaping your life according to your values and priorities. Trust yourself, believe in yourself, and be honest with yourself. Others will then trust, believe, and be honest with you. It is this foundation which enhances personal power. Excellent team leaders establish healthy open relationships with others. They foster mutual commitment in the pursuit of shared goals. Effective leadership is founded on cooperation never coercion. So watch these videos by Frank Kern and learn about your authority self image.

Check out this video and see how Frank Kern gives his bus away in this contest.  Ever try and come up with some giveaways of your own? Here are some tips.  It’s very interesting how opinions have changed over the last few years in marketing about what your free giveaway should be. I don’t mean the format it should take (i.e report, e-book, newsletter etc), but what the topic should be and the type of people it should attract.

I know I’ve certainly changed my opinion.

For the last few years in my business, I’ve been giving away lots of free stuff to promote my business and you know what, it’s got results. I’ve attracted lots and lots of new contacts to my business and they’ve all been very happy to give me their contact details.

The theory then goes that once they’ve given you their contact details and therefore expressed interest in what you do, they should go onto buy from you, right?

Well no actually. Not necessarily.

The chances are actually much higher that they’ll grab your free giveaway with both hands and you’ll never hear from them again.

Now I’m not saying that offering a free giveaway is the wrong thing to do, but you must be very careful with what information you give away in order to attract the right people to your business.

If I offer 50 free ways to promote your business, who am I attracting with this information?

I’m attracting people who DON’T WANT to spend any money on marketing.

Is that who I want to attract? Well, no not really.

Who I want to attract are small business owners who want some help with their marketing AND who are willing to pay for someone to help them with it.

Could I change my free offering to attract these sorts of people? Absolutely. While I may not as many people signing up, they would be much more qualified and therefore much more likely to turn into clients.

While this doesn’t mean that I’m not going to give these people free information, what they do get will

a) much more tailored and personalised to them and

b) much more likely to result in sales.

So if you currently offer something free to your contacts in order to get them to sign up for something, make sure that what you’re offering appeals the right set of customers that you’re trying to attract. Something that attracts people looking for free help such as my 50 free ways to get more customers, is not going to do much for your business and you may be disappointed by the results.

Think carefully about your offer and make sure you’re attracting the right people to your business.  So check out this video and see how Frank Kern does his bus giveaway.

In this video Bill donates Frank Kern‘s $100,000 to charity. When you hear that a person is going to donate to a charity, the first thought that crosses your mind is that he is going to give money to charity. Well, that is true but not entirely. This is because there are a lot of other ways to donate to charity. Monetary donation is the most popular way to donate to a charity. This can be done in the form of cash or a check.

Most nonprofit organizations have a website where donors can make an online donation. Donations through the website can be done through a credit card payment or via PayPal. This donation can be made at anytime of the day or night from any part of the world. You can donate to a charity from your hometown even if you are living on another part of the world. Donating online has the benefit of being very accessible.

The conventional way to donate to a charity is through fundraising activities. These activities are organized so that donors can donate to a charity that they choose. Fundraising activities can be done through a bake sale, a benefit concert, a garage sale, an auction and so many other activities. There are countless ways to create an event where people can donate to a charity. The proceeds of these events will be used to fund the various activities and projects of the charity.

Another way to donate to a charity is through your services. Charities have different kinds of projects where your services may be of use. If you are from the medical profession then you can volunteer your services if there are any medical missions or free clinics being conducted by the charity. There are countless ways to donate to a charity by doing volunteer work. A charity can use all the help they could get to help more people. All you have to do is choose a charity and volunteer your services. You can fit your volunteer work around your free time.

You can also donate to a charity by donating things that you do not need around your home. You all have clutter in your home. They are objects that you bought but never really used. Rather than letting them lie there unused, you can donate to a charity and put them to a good use. There are a lot of things that may be useless to you but those who are less fortunate will find them very useful.  So watch this video and see how Bill obtains this $100,000 from Frank Kern and afterwards it is donated to a charity.

Watch this Frank Kern video and find out how you can boost the economy.  Many of our congressional leaders are running around trying to calm the public before wide-spread panic sets in. The recent scares on Wall Street and ominous predictions of economists have many people looking for the best way to protect their money.

What can be done about this failing economy? To the surprise of many, a lot.

Tortoise And The Hare

The old story about the tortoise and the hare can teach us much about how to get through a wavering economy. It’s true that the stock market has been anything but predictable, but that doesn’t mean everyone should cash out their money and run.

In fact, when the stock market experiences such great highs and lows from one day to the next, a sudden surge of liquidation can force the stock market to plummet for longer periods of time. The further the slump in the market, the harder it is for the economy to regain control.

Patience is key when it comes to stock market investing. In fact, the overall percentage of loss in the stock market following the S&P’s credit downgrade was minimal compared to the day to day gain and loss pattern. When people become panicked, they may quick decisions to liquidate their investments and buy up solid commodities such as gold. Despite the fact that gold maintains its value well over time, it certainly does nothing for the economy as whole.

All The Eggs In One Basket

When economic times are uncertain, the best strategy is to stay the course. The likelihood that anyone “loses everything” in the stock market has very little to do with variability in the market itself. Instead, losing everything is the result of a poorly planned investment portfolio. We have always heard not to put all of your eggs in one basket, and the same is true for investments. Having your money spread around many types of investments is the best way to fair a turbulent economy. Investing money in bonds, stocks, money market accounts, gold and keeping some in cash will prevent any investor from losing everything when one of these investments takes a dive.

Keep Your Head Up

Consumer confidence plays a large role in the health of the economy. Historically, each economic recession was preceded by a drop in consumer confidence. Negative attitudes about the economy result in less consumer spending and an increase in panic-stricken decisions that could backfire. Consumer spending is good when attitudes towards the economy are good, which pumps money into the economy and can lead to more jobs for the unemployed.

Christopher understands that financial hardships can affect honest, hard-working people. Growing up in a very blue collar family and rural area of Indiana, money didn’t always come easy for his parents. The struggles his family faced in his childhood made a significant impression on his business philosophy today.

Take a look at this amazing virtual windows program by Frank Kern that makes the windows in your home look out at landscapes that are designed by a computer. You can do all kinds of stuff like this with your creative mind. Check out the creativity with the mobile phone? Ever try and think about coming up with something like this yourself?

The importance of trying new things in discovering your creative side cannot be overemphasized.

You do not know how well you can do something without doing it. After learning the procedure of daily routines, we usually do not even think about it. Our subconscious mind directs us to automatically go through the same motions over and over. New things force us to get off auto pilot and reinvent ourselves. Discovering where you belong is a matter of which one fits you unique abilities.

Being creative does not necessarily constitute inventing something. It can be improving processes or procedures. When you find a position that fits your personality and way of doing things, it will come naturally and you will begin to stand out from others. You will begin to have fun and your passion will propel you past mediocre to excellence. You will know this is what you were meant to do.

The importance of discovering the job that was meant for you is obvious. It is difficult to excel if you dislike your work. The only way to find your niche is to try different things. When jobs are scarce, it may not be practical to change companies, but you may be able to go to a different position in the same company.

Learning different positions in your company could eventually qualify you to be the boss. Trying several, types of positions will enable you to zero in on the absolute best job for you. The importance of getting out of you comfort zone may not be obvious but it has to be done to move up in your career. The uneasy feeling of new surroundings will go away when you get used to it.

Trying several new things is crucial for discovering your creative side. Doing what you love will change your whole outlook on life. Instead of dreading to go to work, you will look forward to it with eager anticipation. You will be amazed that they pay you for having fun. It is no longer just a job. It is part of you. You will take pride in your work, and make it as perfect as possible.

Your creative side will show up and show out and you will begin to see ways that methods and procedures can be improved. You will take delight in showing others the ropes. Others will observe how you have a feel for your work and will ask you to explain it to them. This demonstrates the importance of trying new things.

Become jack of all things and master of none? No. The point is that you cannot discover your creative side without trying several things. It is not only important to find the right job, but the right people that you can work with. Life is too short to put up with those who are difficult to get along with. When you find, your creative side in your dream job, it will light up your life.  I hope you enjoyed watching this amazing vitual windows tour by Frank Kern.

Watch this Frank Kern video and learn how to sell products online.  If you plan on selling a product online, one of the main things you’ll want to focus on is learning how to create a search engine friendly website so people can find your site.

After all…. No traffic means no sales and definitely no profits.

Don’t ever try to sell a product online until you are sure your web host provides website creation and marketing support.

Setting Up Your Site is The Easy Part

People get so concerned with how their website design will look and how they are going to collect payments, setup their online shopping cart, etc. These days that’s the easy part.

What’s more important is that you choose a web host that helps with online marketing so you don’t end up with a store that receives no traffic.

Selling products with a website is not just about creating your online store and letting your website sit out in cyberspace expecting people to stumble upon your site and buy something.

It is absolutely crucial that you understand how to get your website ranked high in MSN, Google and Yahoo. This will be vital to your success and people often underestimate the importance of this.

Most web hosts don’t even help you with marketing. It’s not in their business model to help you promote your site and help sell products. They are simply there to host it on their servers.

So what happens is people often pay their hard-earned money to build this outstanding online store with a fancy design, and there isn’t a visitor to be found. What they don’t realize is that they’ve failed before they even began because they’ve chosen the wrong host.

You won’t fail if you follow my advice below. I am confident of this because I use this web host and recommend to everyone I know who wants to sell something on the Internet.

Use Site Build It - No Other Host Compares

Read this Site Build It review.  Site Build It is a web host committed to not only helping you build your website, but it shows you how to optimize it for the major search engines as well as build other traffic streams so you sell products.

Go to SBI’s website and see how they differ the average web host. You’ll quickly discover why 99% of the people that try to sell products do it wrong. If you choose SBI, you’ll get it right the first time.

Accepting Credit Cards From Your Store

Accepting credit cards is a must for online commerce. I recommend you use Paypal as your merchant. It’s pretty easy to setup.

With Paypal, you don’t have to rent or purchase any equipment because they take the orders for you and then send your revenue directly to your bank account. They take a small percentage of every order you receive.

This is MUCH more convenient than having to apply for a business license, rent out the equipment and handle all the orders yourself. PayPal makes it quick and easy.

Creating and Selling an Information Product
An information product (or infoproduct) is just what the name suggests. It’s a product full of information.

These days, many info products come in the form of eBooks — which stands for “electronic books”. This means your customer can download your book right from your web site and read it from their PC.

eBooks are convenient because you don’t have to worry about shipping and handling. Once you create it and upload it to your site, it’s ready for instant download by your customers.

With this method, you don’t have to worry about shipping and handling costs, and your customers are happy because they can download their product as soon as the sale is made.

An infoproduct can also come in the form of plain old information. You don’t necessarily have to sell an ebook. If you have the knowledge on a certain subject that you’d like to share, you can still make money with pure content and affiliate programs.  So watch this Frank Kern video and Learn how to sell products online.

Watch Frank Kern teach you about the proper way to sell products online. One of the things you will learn when watching this video is that the mark of a true salesman is how personable his attitude is. How likeable you are can really make or break a sale nowadays. This obviously applies to face-to-face transactions, but did you know that the same rule applies when you are trying to sell products online? It’s true - you may be in cyberspace, miles and miles away from potential customers, but that doesn’t mean you have license to be a grouch, or to show indifference towards your products. Even online customers can sense poor salesmanship from a world away.

Showing the right attitude on the web, however, is not really a gruelling challenge. This is especially true now that venues for social media have become larger and far more accommodating for salesmen. The marketplace has truly grown over the past couple of years, and online shopping has really evolved into something that can fully compare with face-to-face transactions.

Here are a few tips on showing the right attitude when trying to sell products online:

Write copy in a conversational tone.

When you are typing up your copy for your online advertisements and your website, be careful with the tone of your writing. Always make sure that it is conversational, something that a lot of people will be comfortable with and can easily relate to. Don’t be too hard-sell. Don’t say, “Buy my product for Reason A, Reason B, and Reason C! Don’t hesitate! This will change your life!” That kind of stuff can just fly past people’s heads. Instead, start with an innocent question like, “How do you feel about X? From there, you can discuss the benefits of your product as if you were telling a story.

Take time to do individual email transactions.

It may be tempting to just sell products online without really getting to know your customers, but this should definitely be avoided. When setting up transactions with people, try to do so via your email instead of some cold messenger service on your website that makes use of stock text. Talk directly with your customer. Ask them how their days have been. Tell them a little more about yourself. The marketplace may have moved into virtual reality, but that does not mean that those nice relationships between friendly neighborhood shopkeepers and their customers have to fade into oblivion.

If people have complaints, do not evade them.

You have to keep a cool head as a salesman, and this still applies when you sell products online. Like it or not, but some of your customers may return to your site with some complaints. Such situations are truly beyond anyone’s control. However, just because you are online does not give you license to ignore your customers. It may be easy to just look away from the laptop screen or click to another tab on your browser, but you are still a salesman, and it is still your responsibility to cater to your customers’ every need, no matter what those needs are.

Remember: Just moving from one venue to another does not take anything away from what a winning salesman’s attitude should be. The tradition of being the best person you can be remains strong and significant. Now watch Frank Kern teach you about the proper way to sell products online.
