John Assaraf : Reinventing the Entrepreneur

There’s a lot of gloom and doom in the headlines lately about the state of the economy. I’m not a gloom and doom guy though, and my belief is that every adversity we face has with in it a flip side – the opportunity to act.

Parts of our economy have slowed down, there’s no doubt about that. But now is not the time to wring your hands. It’s not time for you to slow down.

The opposite is true. If you, or your spouse or your friends are business owners, you should know that now is the time when a business can gain market share, and generate more revenue, while your competitors are pulling back… provided you execute the right strategies and tactics.

I’m hosting a teleconference Thursday at 5 p.m. Pacific Time. In about 45 minutes, we’ll show you how to grow your business…while others flounder. Register now to be on the call to learn why now is the perfect time to:

• Attract more of your ideal clients, who will:
  • Buy more from you, boosting your profits
  • Refer even more clients to you, growing your business exponentially
  • Stay customers for life, dramatically reducing your marketing costs
• Say goodbye to deadbeat clients (and the stress they bring)
• Craft a foolproof sales process so you close more prospects
• Build a business that works for you, instead of you working for the business

For almost 30 years, the OneCoach team has been helping thousands of businesses in 33 countries around the world. In good economic times and bad, we’ve shown the business owners how to find more of their ideal clients to increase sales, revenues and profits—and we can show you too. Here’s a testimonial we just received from one of our clients:

“Attract More Clients is a must-read, and must-do, for any serious business owner. The materials are presented in a clear and logical manner and will diminish the ‘overwhelm’ we often hear small business owners speak about. THANK YOU… the process has given me a renewed focus to work ON my own business using Attract More Clients as my guide.”
– Jennifer Michalik

Nothing would please me more than to showcase your testimonial about how we’ve helped rocket your business from where it is, to where you want it to be.

Please join me for this exclusive teleconference. It will include access to the OneCoach Business-Growth Scorecard, so that you can rate your business and see if you are doing the right things to prosper in the coming months.

Space is limited, so if you are committed to seizing the opportunity presented by today’s economic conditions, register for the call now.

Hi Friends,

How powerful are your intentions? Well, according to some of the latest research they are very powerful and can have a significant effect on your life and results when you learn the right process for setting your intentions and connecting with the infinite intelligence that governs all of life.

We are finding scientific evidence beyond a shadow of a doubt that we are in fact creating our own reality and results, and the whole process begins with your conscious and unconscious thoughts.

For years I have been studying and applying the best that science has to offer us and here is a great way for you to apply some of what I have learned to manifest whatever you desire.

Upon waking from sleep, sit quietly with your eyes closed. First begin with a few deep breaths to get centered by inhaling in through your nose and exhaling through your nose 5-10 times. As you do this, release all tension and thought as you relax into an alpha brain wave frequency. The alpha frequency is a lower-frequency brain wave to send your intentions into the quantum field of all possibilities. When we are in an awakened state, we are mostly in a faster brain wave frequency called beta. Beta frequencies are conducive to day to day activities and work but are not the most conducive to manifesting your intentions.

Think of your brain as a radio that can receive and send out signals. When you enter an alpha frequency you are “switching” stations from receiving to sending mode when you focus on a very clear intention. Alpha can also be accessed to receive messages and thoughts from the quantum field, the part of the universe you cannot see with your eyes. If you’ve ever been in the shower and a great idea has popped into your brain, chances are you were in an alpha brain wave state.

Ok, so now that you have the first part down, decide in advance what is your intention. It can be an answer to something you need or a person you want to attract or manifest something like money or a soul mate. Once this choice is made and you are in an alpha state, simply focus on the end result you want and make it as real as possible by imagining that your intention has happened already.

While you are imagining, get totally into the emotional feeling that your intention has already occurred and then let it go. This is the part most people have a hard time with because they want immediate evidence that something is happening. The universe will show you evidence when your belief in the universe’s power matches your intention. In other words, you will see it when you believe it, not the other way around. Believe, and the belief will become your reality.

This is a daily ritual that the best manifestors in the world do everyday and it will change your life.

Here’s to your success. I wish that all your dreams come true!

To find out more about creating your dream life, check out my Having It All program.

As you may know, I’ve had incredible success using vision boards to create positive visualizations and help bring them into reality. If you use a vision board, I hope that you have a success story too – and that you’d be willing to share it with others.

(By the way, if you haven’t yet experienced the power of a vision board to help manifest your goals and dreams, we’ve created an easy-to-implement software-based vision board that you can download here right now now.)

Here’s what’s up: In the next few months I will be releasing a new book on vision boards and visualizations. It’s going to be a great book and it will include success stories of people who have created and used their vision boards to achieve their goals.

Now, I realize this is late notice, but I actually need to collect the stories no later than Wednesday, Feb. 20, 2008 at noon (Pacific time).

If you would like to get your story in my book, please send us your story at VisionBResearch@gmail.com and include the following information:

• Your full name
• A phone number where we can reach you
• Your e-mail address
• Your vision board success story

Thanks so much and I look forward to hearing from you!

John

As you know, I am an avid reader. Once in a great while, a must-read book comes out that I feel you won’t want to miss. The Speed of Trust by Stephen M. R. Covey is one of those books.  I met Stephen at a transformational leadership council and loved his presentation. I highly recommend his book. Larry King says, “This book can change lives…” I agree. The Speed of Trust is an important book and has received overwhelmingly positive reactions. Following are several that will interest you.

The Speed of Trust was named by BusinessWeek as one of the top five career books of 2006. The New York Times called Stephen M. R. Covey the next potential business sage and guru, citing The Speed of Trust as “the most intriguing business book of fall 2006.” USA Today said, “Vital to good business…Covey…has a finger on the pulse of something important.”

Tony Robbins said: “Covey expertly illuminates the connections between credibility and productivity in a way that will forever change your perception of trust.”

Ken Blanchard said: “The Speed of Trust is a must-read for all of us.”

John Gray, Ph.D., Author of Men Are from Mars, Women are From Venus, said: “Those relationships that will stand the test of time are built upon a foundation of enduring trust. Covey gives us the blueprint for learning how to apply this principle with the important people in our lives.”

I was particularly intrigued by Seth Godin’s comment: “Why are you reading the blurbs on this book? Simple, because you trust (a few of) us. Trust drives everything in our non-branded, too fast world. So, trust this: This is an important book. The younger Covey has written a book that matters.”

I was also impressed to see that The Speed of Trust met the strict scrutiny to be endorsed by CEOs of multiple leading companies; including; Dell Computer, Jet Blue, Campbell Soup, Marriott International, Sbarro, EDS, DBS Bank Ltd., Huntsman International, Ernst & Young, and the former CEOs of TORO, Ritz Carlton Hotels, Hard Rock Café, Madison Square Garden, and Singapore Airlines.

Bottom-line: you must read this book!

Thanks for trusting my opinion,

A few weeks ago I alerted you to set your DVR so you could see me on The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch. I don’t know if you caught it because it was quick — I made a short appearance near the end of the show. Well, I must have made a good impression because they invited me back!

I was in New York earlier today, and we filmed a much longer segment, which will air on CNBC tonight at 10 p.m. Eastern, 7 p.m. Pacific.

The theme of the show is Zero to Millions, and it’s full of great advice on how to grow your business. I shared the set with Chris Gardner (who Will Smith portrayed in The Pursuit of Happyness) and Kaile Warren, who was homeless before he founded a franchise company called Rent-a-Husband.

It was great to spend some time with accomplished entrepreneurs who came out of nowhere – and to hear from them the secrets of how they did it.

We discuss some really great business-building ideas, and it will be well worth your time to watch this. Once again, it’s The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch, on CNBC tonight, Feb. 4, at 10 p.m. Eastern, 7 p.m. Pacific. Tell your friends, and don’t miss it!
