3 of my favourite business books that led me to personal branding

keith — Mon, 31 Aug 2020 15:04:46 +0000

3 of my favourite business books that led me to the importance of personal branding

These are:

Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert T. Kiyosaki
Multiple Streams of Income by Robert G. Allen
Expert Secrets by Russell Brunson

Reading these made me realise that the path to wealth is not by selling my time and my life to a job that I hated, but rather it was to buy and control assets.

These assets could include property, a business or my personal brand.

All of these are good paths. But probably the personal brand is the easiest one to build, especially now with the rise of social media and the scalability of the internet.

Firstly build these assets, and then find a way of monetising them most effectively.

I actually read "Multiple Streams of Income" when it first came out in 2000. I remember having my mind blown by this book, as it opened my eyes to how I could escape my stressful job as an accountant which I hated. I had been looking for ways to leave this job for many years, and this book gave me some ideas for a blueprint.

We only have x amount of time, so the key to acquiring these multiple streams of income is not to work harder and harder with more jobs and side gigs, it was actually to acquire assets of some kind.

He talked about various ways of acquiring assets such as the stock market, property, network marketing and info products. The idea was not to expose yourself to too much risks by having all your eggs in one basket, as any of these could go down. So much safer to spread your assets around, and then protect them with a limited company.

"Rich Dad Poor Dad" talks a lot about the value of having an asset rather than just selling your time for money. There is a lot of truth in this. Just look around at people you know who are rich, and people you know who are poor. The poorer people lack assets so are forced to sell their time for whatever market rate they can get, which is often very low.

Richer people have assets of some kind, and derive some kind of income from them. Maybe dividends, rent etc, or if they have a personal brand they can easily monetise this with info products, or selling their endorsements etc.

To acquire these assets it can often make a lot of sense to use other people's money in whatever form you can get it. eg loans, mortgages or equity share.

Those books were great, and gave me a vision, but they did not give a clear path to achieve that. Property was probably the most obvious path, and I followed that with a lot of success.

It was not until 2017 many years later that "Expert Secrets" had come out. A lot had changed in the 17 years since the other two books came out.

Social media had really taken off. The traffic on the Internet had become vast, and we were surrounded by many people who had built vast wealth on the Internet. Also demographic targeting by Facebook ads had become very sophisticated, and it was very easy to create beautiful web sites and social media profiles with zero technical skill.

The sub heading of Expert Secret's book is "The Underground Playbook to find your message, build a tribe and change the world". It is really a fantastic book, and it gives a step by step path how we can do these things relatively easily. Or at least much more easily than amassing a massive property empire, or vast stocks and shares portfolio starting from nothing.

The idea advanced in the book is that it all starts with finding our voice. I know a lot of people find that hard, but really it is just practice. It is just a case of doing it. Of making videos, audios, writing blog posts, and expressing yourself. Just make yourself more visible.

Then you need to develop some sort of framework. A path from A to B. Just break it down into steps, and start teaching it.

Some people will like you and others will not. This is much better than being really bland and boring and trying to please everyone which never works, as people will just ignore you.

Then the people who like you will join your tribe. You just need to scale all this up with traffic, and learn how to monitise this in a win-win way. Give away a lot of stuff for free, then start charging for info products, and have different levels of access to you and your time.

This is how people make a lot of wealth on the internet. And it is the path that I am following and teaching.

A new edition of "Expert Secrets" has just come out this year. It is updated and massively expanded from 268 pages to 355 pages. You can get it free plus shipping plus bonuses at http://reputationmanagementexperts.co.uk/expertsecrets .

Why business coaching can cause such powerful results

keith — Sat, 27 Jun 2020 17:23:39 +0000

Goal setting

Goal setting is extremely important, and can really help us become more successful.

A real life example of this working is the 4 minute mile.

On May 6th 1954, Roger Bannister ran a mile in 3 minutes fifty nine and four tenths of a second. This was the first time in history that anyone had ever been recorded as doing a 4 minute mile. So people generally believed that it was not possible to do.

But once he achieved this people realised that it was possible, and many other people also achieved this.

Just 46 days later, John Landy recorded a time of 3 minutes and 58 seconds. Not only that, in the following year three runners broke the four minute mile barrier in a single race.

Since then more than a thousand more runners have achieved this.

This just demonstrates how the power of our beliefs and mindset can either prevent our success or alternatively make the impossible possible.

What about challenges?

Even if we have set our goals, we will come up against challenges.

For example:

We may be scared of what people may think of us if we fail. We may be scared of the feelings of rejection when someone says no.
We may believe that although success may be possible for other people, it is not possible for us. There is something wrong with us that stops us succeeding.
Maybe we tried something before and we failed. We then believe that we could never succeed, and gave up trying again

Each of these challenges can close down our mind and stop us from even attempting to succeed. So we stop ourselves before we even start.

Of course, there are objective facts that need to be taken into account. But what I am talking about here are subconscious limiting beliefs that run our lives.

These are exactly the sort of thing that a coach can help us become more conscious of. When we are conscious of these beliefs, then we can choose whether to listen to them or not.

For example, in the first example. If we are scared of the emotions we feel when failing or rejecting, we can ask ourselves if these feelings are really so bad it is better to forget our dreams, forget about living to our fullest potential and to carry on with our mediocre, and unsatisfying existence. The answer is obviously not. Feelings come and go. Growth only comes with stepping outside our comfort zone.

In the second example, we believe that success is possible for others but not ourselves. If we think about this rationally we can see how absurd this is. So many people have been incredibly successful when on paper, we have much more going for us than them. The difference is that they took action, while we gave up before we started.

In the last example, we may contemplate that we tried one particular method at a certain time. We learned a lot from the experience. Now if we try things again but from a different angle we could succeed. Maybe get different people to help us, or try a different approach. Because of the scalability of the internet, one small change can be the difference between massive failure and massive success.

So we have 2 options

Option a: Carry on the same and get the same results we have always got

Option b Get an effective coach who will support us to expand our mindset, beliefs and confidence and achieve far more

How is this achieved?

It is achieved through a series of conversations and email exchanges.

The idea is that the following things will happen:-You will feel totally supported and realise that some things are possible that you had not considered before.

You can bounce ideas off him and see them from new angles. Two minds are much better than one.

In short you build a new reality with him in which you can achieve more or less anything. The more you talk with him you will see how your limiting beliefs have been holding you back, and you will develop unstoppable confidence.

How is it delivered?

It is delivered in many forms:

weekly calls
email support
action points
goal setting
accountability partner
access to a dashboard in my coaching software

I am also a consultant

As well as being a business coach, I have an extensive background in business. I was a Deloitte trained chartered accountant, and reached senior positions in industry. Also I have worked as an entrepreneur for about 20 years, and have developed a massive amount of skills.

So if you are a coaching client, if required, I can always go into consultant mode, and give you advice based on my business/financial/internet/entrepreneurial skillset.

Do this thought experiment

Imagine that you hire me. Really feel it vividly. Imagine how we will work together and what you will achieve in the next 3 months. Then fast forward 3 months into the future and look back and see how much your business has grown.Close your eyes and really feel the truth of this. Then try and estimate how much it would be worth to you for this to happen.

End of exercise. You can come back to reality now. But the purpose of this is to show the value of having a goal based vision strongly in your mind. A vision that becomes more vivid by discussing it with your coach.

The next step

If you are interested in exploring this, please contact me to discuss.

Most People Will Ignore This Advice

keith — Thu, 04 Jun 2020 19:38:31 +0000

So the first majority of people will probably ignore this advice and that's absolutely fine.

But I really believe that if you change your attitude from one of where you're trying to sell to people, manipulate people, sort of try and get them to give you money, that's your prime motivator, instead of doing that, if you act from a space of contribution, where you're really wanting to help people, to serve people, and, you know, maybe it's a byproduct of that, then they give you money. Which is great because you're adding value. So if you just shift the emphasis in your mind that will have a really dramatic affect, it will have a really dramatic affect because people know, they can sense, they can sense what your primary motivation is.

And people hate being sold to, I hate being sold to, I mean, if you ever had a sales call, I'm sure you have, people phone you up and say, oh, do you want to do this, this, this? No, I'm not interested. Or people come to my door, or I really don't want people to sell me stuff, it's just not interesting to me. But if I really feel that this person really wants the best for me, really wants to help me, it's a whole different experience. And if I find someone like that, you know, I just feel that I can really trust them and then I'm much more likely to enter into some, you know, to buy their stuff, for example or to listen to their message.

So, act coming from a space of contribution, it's not some sort of new agey thing, it might be new agey as well but it's actually a sound sort of business principle. And it can really, I think it can really help you grow your business and grow your brand. I mean, and to have the public face of the brand as someone who can relate to like that, I'm thinking of someone like Steve Jobs people liked him, he had some sort of personality and, you know, people didn't feel that all he wanted to do was make as much money as possible. They felt he was also was trying to sort of build value in some way. And that's one of the reasons they could connect with him. And also that he wanted to sort of makes the lives of people with his Apple products better in some way.

So, it's based on sound business principles and I think if you think like that, then, then it will help your business make more money, which is great and it'll also help you, of course, give a lot more value to other people 'cause your business will be bigger, will be helping more people and so on. But in addition to that, I just think it's a much more satisfying way to live your life where you're helping people, you're serving people, compared to just trying to sort of, you know, manipulate people and get bit of money there, get a bit of money there, don't really care if your products have value or not and don't really care if they're real benefit.

So, I would really urge you, as much as possible to try and come from a space of contribution. You may use other words, you may think of it in terms of service people or but I think it's a really great attitude to have when you think of your prospect, when you think of who you're talking to in your, the videos you're making, the content you're producing, you're advertising, and so on.

So, that's all for now, bye.
