When does 1% = 241%?
“The reasonable man adapts himself to the conditions that surround him… The unreasonable man adapts surrounding conditions to himself… All progress depends on the unreasonable man.” George Bernard Shaw
“Double sales?!”
“DOUBLE SALES!”
“How the heck can you talk about doubling sales EVER, let alone in THIS economy?!”
“You’re unreasonable. Nevermind.”
I hear that all the time from small minded individuals who can’t get out of their own way. From those that “are unique…just like everyone else.”
If you’re focused on growing your business why not focus on building it big? Get unreasonable! Get fired up! Get fanatical about growing your business!
I’m not saying you can double it overnight – but maybe you can – IF you have the guts to do what it takes to stand apart from your competition, to “surprise to the upside” when it comes to winning over your clients and both outwork and out-think everyone else in your industry.
With that in mind I will provide you here on my blog 365 things you can implement to help you double your sales in the next 365 days.
If you’d like to double your sales a little faster or a lot faster contact me now and let’s see if you are a candidate for my double your sales program.
So the 1st thing you need to do double your sales is commit to never-ending, constant, steady improvement. Running a successful business is like nurturing a successful marriage. Your work is not over the day you open for business or you say “I do.”
On the contrary, the work has only just begun, thus the saying, “The honeymoon’s over.”
It’s easy to OPEN a business. (It’s easy to have a wedding.) It’s harder to keep the doors and grow but NOW IS THE TIME to commit to growing and being excellent.
Now is the time to cut out the fluff and the extras and the B.S. and get better at everything you do. EVERYTHING!
Warning: that will take some work.
So commit to making one thing in your business 1% better today and everyday for the next 365 days and your business will boom!

The #1 horny golfer in the world, Tiger Woods, lost the 2007 Masters to Zach Johnson by two shots. Those two shots cost Tiger $763,667. It took him 291 shots to finish four rounds of golf. If Tiger had improved his game over four days by 0.00687% he would have forced a playoff with Zach Johnson.
If Tiger would have improved his game by 0.0103% he would have won outright.
That’s the power of incremental improvement.
In business, your income and your profits grow exponentially with each percentage point you can grow because in sales it’s a zero sum game. Winner takes all.
If Tiger would have played 0.0103% better his income would have grown 241%!!
How many clients have you lost in the last 12 months that could have been won with a 1% improvement in the way you do business?
If you’d like to grow your sales 241% this year may I be so bold as to suggest you enroll in my Inner Circle for 90 days?
Your growth is guaranteed.
Good selling.
