3 Killer Secrets to Start a Successful Global Business

Why is a global business so important?
A global business creates the ultimate freedom of earning income wherever you go

It also gives you the competitive advantage over businesses that are limited by language and location.

The Internet as the ideal business platform for a Global Business
The Internet has grown explosively in the last ten years as it has become more widely available and used. To date, many entrepreneurs, small startups and corporate enterprises have used it as the ideal business platform to grow a worldwide business.

How is an internet business different from a typical “Brick and Mortar” business?

Problems of Traditional “Brick and Mortar” Businesses -
 
Convenience: Tangible products require physical delivery and increase the need for added manpower. Recruitment and the expense of additional manpower can be a hefty operating cost. Product shipping and negotiation of consignment deals with distributors demands a lot of time and patience – Business is a hassle.
 
Costs: Establishing a brick and mortar business in a popular location, easily accessible to customers is costly – The more people the location attracts, the higher the rents! As sales increase, there are costs to produce the additional products. Throw in other factors like huge packaging, advertising and employee costs and – Business is costly to maintain.
 
Criteria for a Profitable Global Business
As computers and technology become more affordable, populations with Internet access are greatly increasing. With it comes the opportunity to extend the reach of your business to these populations.
As recommended by the experts, here are the Top 3 criteria you should consider when starting a profitable global business:
 
# 1. You need a multi-lingual business website that attracts daily web traffic
Unlike a traditional business, which is restricted to a limited geographic area, an online business can have customers located around the world. A multi-lingual website allows you to reach all of these people who are potential customers for your internet business, and their numbers are constantly expanding exponentially. It is also a cheap way to provide global customers with information, instead of catalogues or advertisements that have high development and publication costs.
 
# 2. You need a hot selling information product that doesn’t need delivery
As opposed to physical products which have production, packaging, storage, and shipping costs, the cost of providing information is primarily in the time spent to create it. An information product removes the need for manufacturing and physical packaging. It is also more convenient for customers to download the information from your website rather than you going through the hassle of delivery or shipping it to them.
 
# 3. Set up a fully automated business system that runs even while you sleep
Nearly every aspect of an internet business can be automated. Order processing, credit card processing, and electronic delivery can all be automated. Your business can operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with little or no human intervention required.

Auto responder software, which automatically sends emails to customers, provides an opportunity to remain in contact with customers, and nurture them toward repeat business.

Learn from the Guinness Book of Records’ “World’s Greatest Salesperson” on How to Sell Anything to Anybody

Joe Girard has sold more retail “big ticket” items “one-at-a-time” than any other salesperson in any retail industry including houses, boats, trucks, motor homes and any product you can think of. This incredible (AND unbroken) record has earned Joe a place in the Guinness Book of Records as “The World’s Greatest Salesperson”. Through 3 best-selling books and international seminars, Joe has helped many people including top executives from Fortune 500 companies achieve success, not only in sales, but in life.

In this excerpt from Joe’s full-length video seminar, he shares 5 simple rules for success that will help you to increase your sales and profits!

RULE #1 – HAVE A POSITIVE ATTITUDE Hang around with positive people, stay away from cry babies and complainers, because they will pull you down to their level. If something isn’t going right in your life, keep it to yourself, no one wants to hear your problems, make people believe you are having a wonderful time!

RULE #2 – DRESS THE PART What kind of people are you dealing with? If you are selling to blue-collar workers, don’t wear $500 suits and expensive shoes, jewellery or watches as they are a huge distraction. Wear it on your own time, not when you’re working because an inappropriate “dress code” can turn people off.

RULE #3 – ORGANISE YOUR LIFE Keep an appointment book so you don’t forget important tasks you need to do. At the end of each day, meditate upon what you did or did not do, so you can become stronger for tomorrow. Plan your work for the next day. If you know where you are going you will get there. If you don’t, you are lost!

RULE #4 – SMILE A smile increases your face value. If people would smile more, your customers would feel better and want to do business with you, plus it’s great for your health!

RULE #5 – RETURN ALL PHONE CALLS AND EMAILS Not returning calls or emails are a way to lose customers and friends. Return your calls and emails ASAP! That’s not all…in Joe Girard’s 70-minute video, you’ll discover even more winning strategies that will help you set (and break!) records in Sales. Find out how Joe does it and learn how you can copy his success in the shortest time possible! Salespeople and business entrepreneurs have 1 thing in common: to close sales.

Not only will Joe reveal his secrets to help you overcome objections and close even the most difficult sale, he’ll also teach you how to:

  • Turn your prospects into buyers – every time

  • Make your customers remember you – for life!
  • And much more!

Advantages of Drinking Water

1. Drink water when you wake up. Your body loses water while you sleep, so drink a glass before you go to sleep, and another glass when you wake up. You are naturally thirsty or dehydrated in the morning. Drinking water in the morning helps flush out the toxins that have accumulated all night.

2. Drink 8 to 12 glasses a day. According to the Mayo Clinic, a 120-pound individual needs 8 cups of water a day, while a 190-pound person would require 12 cups daily. Dr. Robert Tanchanco says that we should monitor our urine color and keep it on the light side. However, drink only a maximum of 16 glasses a day, and not more.

3. Drink little by little throughout the day. It is preferable to sip water throughout the day rather than to drink two glasses all at once. This will lessen the stress on the heart (especially if you have heart disease) and give your body more time to absorb it.

4. Don’t wait until you’re thirsty to drink water. By the time you feel thirsty, you’re probably already 2 glasses below your normal water needs. Elderly people are also less sensitive to the body’s need for water.

5. Drink water, not soft drinks, alcohol or coffee. Some experts believe that tea, sodas and coffee can be potentially dehydrating. Moreover, the high phosphorus and sugar content in cola drinks can lead to conditions like osteoporosis and diabetes. One study shows that adults who drank six cups of coffee daily experienced mild dehydration. Drinking alcohol is much worse because it actually dehydrates you by making you urinate a lot.

6. Train children to drink water. Set a good example to your kids and drink water together. Make sure that children drink enough water when they’re active. Pack a large bottled water in their lunch box.

7. Drink more when it’s hot. People living in hot climates like the Philippines need to drink more water. They are more prone to develop kidney stones compared to those living in cooler regions.

8. Drink more as you exercise. When you exercise, you need to drink more water to compensate for fluid loss. Go for an extra 500 ml of water for a 30-minute to 1-hour exercise. Eating a banana also helps keep your potassium up.

9. Drink more when you’re sick. Even though you don’t feel like it, you really need to drink more water to help your body recover from various infections. If you’re dehydrated, you’ll feel much worse.

10. Drink more if you’re pregnant. Women who are expecting or breast-feeding need additional fluids to stay hydrated. The Institute of Medicine recommends that pregnant women drink 10 cups of fluids daily and women who breast-feed take in about 13 cups of fluids a day.

“Many people make the mistake of thinki

“Many people make the mistake of thinking that all the
challenges in their lives would dissipate if they just had
enough money. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Earning more money, in and of itself, rarely frees people.
It’s equally ridiculous to tell yourself that greater
financial freedom and mastery of your finances would not
offer your greater opportunities to expand, share, and
create value for yourself and others.” — Anthony Robbins

Drinking Water Is Medicine Too

Our bodies are made up of mostly water. Just look at the facts: The brain contains 74% water, blood contains 83% water, lean muscle has 75% and bone has 22% water.. Experts agree that water is one of the most powerful forms of treatment. So how come most people don’t drink enough water?

10 Health Benefits of Water:

1. Water prevents kidney stones. The most common cause of kidney stones is not drinking enough water. Since water dissolves the substances that form stones in the urine, drinking 12 glasses daily helps treat kidney stones.

2. Water treats urinary tract infection. The more water you drink, the more you will urinate. “Drinking lots of water will help flush out harmful bacteria from your bladder,” says Medical City kidney specialist Dr. Roberto Tanchanco.

3. Water helps patients with diarrhea by preventing dehydration. As a first-aid for diarrhea, you can make your own oral rehydration solution at home. Mix a glass of water with 2 teaspoons sugar and ¼ teaspoon salt, and drink as much as you can tolerate. This is similar to the dextrose solution in the hospital.

4. Water helps reduce fever. For symptoms of flu, water can help lower your body temperature when you urinate the “heat” out of your body. If you’re sick, drink more water for you to recover faster.

5. Water helps treat cough and colds, sore throat, and respiratory infections. Water helps loosen sticky phlegm. A respected lung specialist told me that some mucolytics out there are just as beneficial as drinking lots of water.

6. Water reduces heartburn. Taking 2-3 gulps of water every 20 minutes or so can help flush the stomach acid away. Bananas and water are effective alternatives to taking antacids. Try it.

7. Water prevents constipation and its complications. Too little water can harden the stools and lead to hemorrhoids and diverticulosis, a disease of the large bowel. Drink water and eat lots of vegetables to soften your stools.

8. Water keeps you alert and energetic. If you’re dehydrated, your blood is literally thicker. This makes it harder for the blood to circulate. As a result, the brain can become less active and you can feel confused and fatigued. Some studies also show that water may help cure migraine headaches.

9. Water helps reduce weight. By drinking a glass or two of water before a meal, you will lessen the amount of food you can take in order to feel full. Water has zero calories and will not make you fat.

 10. Water keeps your skin soft and radiant. Just as a dehydrated person will have deep-set eyes and wrinkled skin, so will a fully hydrated person exhibit a normal and beautiful skin tone.

7 Ways To Make A Good Impressions

Impressions are important: They leave an initial taste in people’s mouths that can remain prevalent for the entire relationship. If you are paranoid about what kind of impression you make, run through these seven list items and see if you are consistent with them; if you are, then you will probably expose the best of yourself. If not, then work to meet these standards.[impress.jpg]

1. Dress: The absolute first impression you will make on someone will be through your clothing, because that is what is seen from a distance, and cannot change throughout your meeting. Make sure to dress according to the situation-don’ t over or under dress-and maintain within the limits of good taste. If you aren’t sure if what you’re wearing looks good, ask people for an honest opinion. One last thought: always, and I mean always, pull up your pants

2. Hygiene: Take a shower! Shave! Brush your teeth! You must be fully bathed and groomed before you meet with someone for the first time, because scruffy looking people generally don’t seem as neat and mature. Pay attention to the little elements like breath: keep a pack of mint gum with you wherever you go, and periodically check to make sure you aren’t killing bugs every time you breathe out. If you sweat heavily, keep a small stick of deodorant/anti- perspirant close, and if you notice you’re stinking you can freshen up. People notice the minutiae!

3. Manners: At the table and with other people be civilized, polite and respectful: keep your elbows off of the table, open doors for people and address everyone-initially, at least-by their formal title. This will make an especially good impression on senior citizens, because you will prove that you aren’t one of those “new fangled punks.”

4. Speech: Have clean, clear diction and speak sans “like” or “you know.” It is important to be articulate because that inspires a feeling of intelligence and education in the person you are meeting with. Always leave out profanity, and whatever you do, make sure to speak loud enough for all to hear, because conversationalists are easily agitated if you force them say “excuse me?” more than a few times.

5. Discretion: Choose what to share about yourself: forget to tell everyone about that time you went camping and ruptured your appendix, then fell face first into a pile of bug infested leaves-it is rude and will alienate you from the group. Try to withhold from conversations on personal subjects like religion or more disgusting topics like personal medical care. Before you speak, think about the possible impact of what you might say, then imagine its implications in the long run.

6. Humor: Humor can be your most powerful tool or your doom, because everyone has a slightly different sense of humor. What might be hilarious to you might seem disgusting to another, or vice versa. Try to withhold from any jokes that aren’t family or dinner table friendly; you can tell those later.

7. Start and End with a Bang: Whoever you are meeting with will remember how you greet them, and then in what manner you left them. If you feel you have trouble with this, practice a few different phrases in the mirror, and introduce elements like: “pleased to meet you,” or “honored to make your acquaintance. ” Ignore the antiquity of these phrases; it often makes them more memorable.

Making a good impression will set any relationship off on a good foot. If you are in a situation where you need to be judged at face value-such as a job interview or date-then make sure to go through this list and make sure you are within bounds of reason and good taste on all of your decisions.
