3 Surefire Ways to Achieve Success in Your Business at a HIGH Speed

I recently shared my lead conversion tips... And, one of them was connecting with my new subscribers on a personal level, as soon as they opt in. I hope you're already doing this too.

So, I always offer to help them and ask them what they're currently focusing on in their businesses. They usually tell me what they are doing and some mention that they have been following me for a while or they like my blog and so on.

Now, there's one popular question that I get from my new followers: "how did you start out and how did you become so successful?". Maybe you have been wondering too... So, I have decided to spill the beans and share what really got me to where I am today.

Here's the short version of my story:

When I got started online, I had no internet marketing experience at all (nada, zero, zilch!) - I only used the internet for e-mails and browsing. As I saw the incredible power of the internet, I was determined to do everything humanely possible to achieve success online, FAST!

I realised that online marketing would rescue my drowning business. However, I just didn't know where to start, like most people right now. There was so much information on making money online. Not to mention countless offers.

So...

1. I Found the Right Mentor

I stumbled upon a video by a marketer who seemed to know what she was talking about. She related her experience with marketing her business offline, which was just similar to mine.

She caught my attention when she shared how she had turned that around and how she could help "me" do the same. I thought to myself: "Here's someone who has the knowledge, experience and ability to help me in my business".

I then decided to follow her with confidence as she had a proven track-record of success. I have been following my first online mentor to this day and I have since found new mentors to help me in the other aspects of my business such as blogging and product creation.

Here's the thing, having a mentor plays a HUGE role in your business and life. If you’re really serious about taking your business to the next levels of success at a high speed, then you need to find a mentor.

I’m talking about someone who will be supportive, stretch and challenge you and hold you to account and accelerate your personal growth far beyond what you could achieve on your own.

With the right mentor, the sky is the limit! I have witnessed this myself.

I went from a struggling marketer to becoming a blogging expert (#2 MLM blogger), dominating search engines, creating and selling my own products, growing an international team and more.

I couldn't have done it without my mentors. I couldn't have done it without their mentoring. And neither can you - you can't succeed in this industry without a good mentor behind you.

So, where can you find the right mentor, right now? Where do you even start? Find someone who is already at the level that you want to be yourself and follow them. Reach out to them and do what you need to do to work with them.

You need someone who can point you in the right direction when you're lost. Just like my mentors did and still do with me.

You do NOT need someone who's going to hold your hand and walk you through every step of the process - that would hinder your personal growth, not help it - but rather someone who'll encourage and inspire you to take action on your own.

That is, someone who's "been there, done that" and who's able to see the whole picture and help you to get what you want.

Every successful person out there, has or had a mentor to learn from and help them get to where they are today – very powerful!

Now, if you're looking for a mentor right now, then you're at the right place... I want to believe that by now you should "know" who I am and what I stand for, if you have been following me and visiting my blog regularly.

Moving on... What else did I do?

2. I Plugged Into a Marketing Training Platform

As I didn't have any online marketing experience at all, I had to get the right marketing training to cut my learning curve in half and create success in no time.

So, I put the pedal to the metal, so to speak. I became a student and followed the cutting-edge marketing and mindset training. Most importantly, I implemented the new skills I was acquiring, in my own business.

In no time, I started seeing great results, generating leads, getting sign-ups, making sales and grabbing top spots in the search engines on certain keywords!

I started having FUN building my business, rather than trying to convince people to join or buy from me. This platform has helped me to not only build a successful business and make money online, but to help others around the world to do the same.

So, if you want to learn from the best of the best in marketing and create success quickly, then you need to plug into a training platform. There is no other way around it.

And, here's a comment left by my newest team member:

Wait! There's something else...

3. Hanging Out With Like-Minded People

I always hang out with like-minded people. It’s SO true that you are who you hang out with! You need to find and interact with like-minded and success-driven people who have similar interests, goals and aspirations as yours.

If you’re serious about becoming successful, the fastest way to get there is to spend your time with other successful people. Why?

They talk about ideas and focus on the possibilities. They talk about taking actions on their dreams, and they do it!

Would you ask a broke person for advice on how to make money? Probably not. You’d want to ask someone who HAS the results that you are after, right?

It doesn't matter how intelligent you think you are, you still need to mastermind with others.

Here's how I do it:

1. I mastermind with two very good friends on Skype on a regular basis. We bring different skills and strengths to the table so we can help and inspire each other to reach our goals. We have an amazing strategic alliance. When we feel low, we talk to each other, rather than sitting in a corner, feeling sorry for ourselves.

2. I participate in a couple of private Facebook groups where we help each other to reach our goals and achieve success in our businesses. We also invite our teams to join in the FUN too!

And, one of the groups is Diane Hochman's (the queen of Attraction Marketing, with over 12 years experience). Can you imagine having a marketing expert at your fingertips on a DAILY basis, at no cost to you? It's a rare gem.

3. I attend live events, so should you. If you don’t stay on top of your game, then your ideal prospects will find someone else who does. Get informed on the latest marketing trends and propel your business to the new levels. You need to keep sharpening your axe!

Not only that... These marketing events offer a great opportunity to rub shoulders with self-made millionaires, expert marketers, and well-known industry leaders.

Speaking of the events, I'll be hanging out with the BEST of the BEST marketers in April this year at the UK Internet MLM Summit.

You need to be there, if you’re serious about taking your business to a whole new level of success in 2012 and beyond.

Key Takeaway

There you have it. I attribute a great deal of my success to finding the right mentors, plugging into a training platform, implementing new skills in my business and hanging out with like-minded people.

These steps are crucial to your success. Like it or not, you CANNOT do it all alone. If you think you can, then you're misleading yourself.
