    What's with the negativity?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I don't remember who launched it but there was a post where someone was saying that we should aim at keeping our number of likes received greater than our number of messages. I think that's a great idea because it shows the value we are bringing to this community and also if you really want to...

    This is the shortcut to success

    And how did that work out for you? Do you have the new Walmart? While some businesses might have an exceptionnal growth from the beginning, they are the exception to the rule. Chances are that you will get successful quicker by starting small and grow than by waiting for the big shot...

    This is the shortcut to success

    Today I read an article written by an entrepreneur about her journey. She called it: "The truth nobody tells you about entrepreneurship". Beside all the things we have already seen/read/heard many times everywhere including on this forum, she said something that I found quite interesting. She...

    I am not sure that I fully understand what is it you are selling but anyway, to test a physical product, I would put in for sale on ebay. Set it to the minimum price you would need it to go and see how high people are bidding, then either you can deliver quickly when the auction finishes or you...

    EXECUTION 
    And something more I forgot to mention, I would like to start extend my network to people placed higher in the food chain in my industry or in complementary industries. So I am now looking at exhibitions and conferences where I could meet this kind of people and start increasing the value of my...

    Diary of my first successful business

    EXECUTION 
    A new month starts and with it the balance of the previous one. I am quite happy with the direction things are taking at the moment. Money wise, we almost doubled the income this month compared to last month. Bookings kept coming in to the point that we have been refusing people over the past...

    How to recover after life beats the shit outta you?

    FTE 
    I might go against some people's opinion here but my view is that in the situation you are in, reading is a waste of time. You already read enough stuff to get started. Do whatever you can to keep you going, go wash dishes in a restaurant, clean floors, baby sit... whatever, this will enable you...

    Interesting books I have read, there has been one which really helped me understanding how this works: Cashvertising. For someone like me who didn't have any background in sales or marketing I think that it was a very good way to learn the very basics of the game. But I don't really like to...

    Sometimes we lose motivation

    MINDSET 
    Reading books is very good but what you will learn by reading will never be as much nor as quick as what you would learn by actually doing. ;)

    Why hypnosis is an awesome tool for reaching your goals.

    Self hypnosis and hypnosis work on the same principle. Now, if you wanted to learn to fly a plane, would you learn quicker by buying your plane and teach yourself to fly it or would you have someone to guide you first and then go alone? It is exactly the same with hypnosis. You can do it...

    Sometimes we lose motivation

    MINDSET 
    Many people loose motivation because they are only looking at the end goal. When you are just starting this is too far away to be motivating. It is a dream that you hope you will reach one day. So while it is helpful to have somewhere in your mind, you need to see what small things you can do...

    Why hypnosis is an awesome tool for reaching your goals.

    Yes. A lot of people think that hypnotherapy will make them do what they don't want to take the effort to do. This is particularly true for weight loss and quit smoking people. Hypnotherapy is giving results very quickly but it won't make you do anything you don't want. On the other hand, it...

    Why hypnosis is an awesome tool for reaching your goals.

    @BellaPippin: On Google you can find everything, the best and the worse :) and hypnotherapy is like everything, you have a lot of different "philosophies". The one I have been trained on is called Solution Focused Hypnotherapy. It is an evolution based on NLP. Basically the principle is that...

    Why hypnosis is an awesome tool for reaching your goals.

    I would say, don't make the mistake to think that hypnotherapy is a sort of magic and that by one click of the fingers you will be able to speak in front of an audience but it will definitely help you find the resource to do it quicker than you would do by yourself. Actually in business, public...

    Why hypnosis is an awesome tool for reaching your goals.

    Far from the chicken quacking performances people associate hypnosis with, there is also a clinical application to hypnosis for business. Whether it is to reframe a fear of public speaking or to help people reach their goals, I got to know hypnosis almost by mistake in 2012 but the story...

    Diary of my first successful business

    EXECUTION 
    End of the first month. Although it has only be three weeks since we opened the salon, I can already see the revenues going up. The good news is that we have been able to cover the costs from the first month and even make a small benefit so I am quite happy for that. The bad news (which in...

    EXECUTION 
    A quick update before the end of the week. It has been a busy week with the opening of the salon last Monday. I have been fully focused on marketing this week as I said in my previous update and after a few days I am starting to see some result so it makes me think that I am doing the right...

    Diary of my first successful business

    EXECUTION 
    These are great ideas and I will definitely use them. With regard to the "standard" marketing, I will always have it or at least for a certain time because as soon as this salon is occupied enough, as I don't need its money to survive, I will use it to open another one somewhere else. So I will...
