Quotes and Video from Roger Hamilton

Speak in Terms of Opportunity Rather Than Requests

“…the language of requests is something that entrepreneur should avoid at all costs.”

“By speaking in requests, you draw attention to what you don’t have… the markets don’t want to know what you don’t have, mentors don’t want to know what you don’t have, even financiers they are not really bothered by what you don’t have; they want to know what you have.”

THE SECRET OF BUSINESS COMMUNICATION

I wasn’t able to put my finger on the communication differences between successful entreprenuers and… say… me.

I assumed the difference was in the form of some huge cravass of unfathomable length, depth and breadth.

BUT… HERE was the REAL answer - I always make REQUESTS. No longer. I will present true and valuable OPPORTUNITIES. I have learned the power of helping YOU.

Thanks, Roger Hamilton. Ahem… May I kindly offer you an opportunity to provide me an autograph?

Monday is short for Money-Day. It’s the day I thought I’m supposed to begrudgingly clamber back on the ole’ Pursuit of Money Trail after a rip roaring weekend of sewing up the previous week’s lose ends.

Or is it?

According to the video below, it’s more important to go after worth rather than wealth. Be WORTHY, and the wealth will follow.

Quotes:

“Money doesn’t come as a result of thinking about the money… it comes as a result of truly doing something which is of value.”

“The Secret is this… As long as you focus on trying to be wealthy, you won’t be wealthy.”

“No one is going to help you get wealthy. But if you go out and focus on becoming worthy, something interesting happens… more people will want to conspire with you… and the million dollars will come.”

“Wealth is NOT a cause… it is an effect. [Effect of being of worth]”

“Turn [your business] from a vehicle for wealth, to a vehicle for worth.”

VALUE

All last week, I kept running into the term, “value.”

“Provide true Value to your Customers and Clients.”

“”Value” is the core component of any product worthy buying.”

Now… what are the exact steps to being of worth AND providing VALUE?

Ideas?

I await your response…

As for me, in order to evaluate “value,” I will ask myself this question for every product or service I provide: “What’s in this for him or her…” rather than, “What’s in this for me?” And I will make sure there’s PLENTY of value for Him or Her.
