The way the world is moving is toward an economy where people need intelligence, trusted advice to make decision. As you know, people have less time and high demand is on the little they have. To make your company, product and service stand out in this trust economy, you must build relationship. The key here is relationship. As many people you have trusted relationship with, the better your chance of success.

New Definition of ROI

You need to know that the definition for ROI as you were taught in the class has changed. It used to be “Return on Investment” now it means “Return on Influence”. The larger your influence the better for your business and personality.

Trust Economy; The people, the currency

Human-over-Ip is the protocol for the trust economy. Am sure we all are familiar with the general HTTP protocol. Yeah! That is the protocol of the internet, but it’s high timed we recognize that, friendship, Social, business and every other activities we engage in real life has move over the internet, so the protocol as change. In our normal economy, we have law-backed-paper as money. This age things have change, like I said earlier, people do not have much time, they have target to meet and places to go. So for you to be able to get their attention you must have value that is much more than their targets. So, attention in this current age is the current for the Trust Economy.

For people to stop by and read your blog, to buy your product, come to your company, they must sense some value and sensing value is influenced by various things in this age. The most important of all are the people they trust, people they know and people who are in-touch with them.

The Magic Wand: Getting your client/customer when you need them

It’s old-fashioned to rush-to-market your product and service to people. They are concerned about thier time and hard-earned money. They don’t want to take another time to test your product. They want a product they know or someone they trust advise them to go for. You know, Celebrities and big figures around are used to advertise product, well the celebrity is being paid for the service and might not have tested the product. So the trust is not there. People have tried over and over again and they are just tired of it. They buy product recommended by their friend than any other solid, classic advert. As you know, their friend is not being paid for the advice and the friend is talking from experience.

For you to effectively get your client when you need them, you need to have built relationship over time. They want to know you as human, they want to be sure that you have feelings; they want to know how much you care. So, when you meet the next person in the seminar, get interested in things they like most and discuss with them. Let them have a feel of your human-hood.

Do you have an experience of how difficult to achieve this? Let’s discuss.

Am sure we all want to be wealthy. Though, some of us are not quite sure if they are actually going to make it. I this article, I will discuss with us the power to get wealth. Be ready to accumulate the wealth you long wait for.

Wealth simply a state of mind, a believe, a dream that translates itself to its material form. All things in life are of 2 stages, the thought process and the realization state. You first be in form before you are formed. So whatever wealth you are going to posses, you must first have seen it in your imagination, then your subconscious registers it and begin working on it. It is your imagination that directs your action and whatever you thought of and believe, backed by persistent action will come to fruition.

The first secret of getting wealth is to task your brain, to imaging great things. Dream big dreams, dream like a fool, think like it as come true and act diligently it will show up.

Over the centuries, we have seen Nations rise and fall; we have seen people come from obscurity to prominence. People we never thought will amount to anything became great. But one thing is common; there is always something big that happens that brings about the upliftment of some and downfall of others. Andrew Carnegie became wealthy through industrial revolution; Warren Buffet became rich after some people lost their wealth through doubt. America ascended to world power because it paid great attention to human capital development and believe towards what human mind can achieve. Barack Obama came to prominence because He is ready to take up the challenges ahead. With the economy in crisis, international dissident world over against the US.

Bill Gates became rich because he believed that everyone should have access to information through computer. His believe brought about wide usage of the web after creation. He proffered solution, and became rich.

After year 2001, the world policy changed; US review is security policies more attention shifted to fighting terrorism. 2007 a lingering financial crisis was coming up bit by bit only to manifest fully in the last quarter of 2008. The baby-boomers are shaking. Some are smiling to retirement while some are surprised to see their savings depleted and how things changed so fast.

As I said earlier, when there is going to be a power shift, tough things happens, some goes from Zero to Hero while some goes from Hero to Zero. People lost their riches and some amasses wealth like magic. The time is here for you to make yours! Last quarter of 2008 set and broke records, biggest financial bail-out ever, biggest layoff in decades, and lowest economic growth in years. These are signs that some new generation great men and women are coming. Can you read the signs?

The wealth you have been longing for is here! It’s time to launch that your idea. If you are bold enough this is not your time to panic, but a time to make your dream come true. Take the bold step now!

2009 will witness high number of new millionaires; do you want to be among? Let me show you some statistics so as to know where to start; 74% of the world riches are entrepreneurs, corporate owners, while 10% are top executives in big companies, another 10% are the professionals, like Lawyer, doctors, programmers. 1% includes; Celebrity actors, book authors, sportsmen, athletes, Jackpot winners and the remaining 5% are sales people and consultants.

What are you dreaming about most of the time? What is your talent? Take note of these questions and provide an answer to them. It will form the basis of you wealth accumulation.

2. Become an intra-preneur/entrepreneur: an intra-preneur is someone who setup a business within a company which he/she works for. It could be a product or service that you setup in your company that will give you the break you have been looking for. Entrepreneur on the other hand is the person who set out, who summon courage to start a business.

It may not fetch you the dream money immediately you start but with time it surely will launch you to the next level.

A business owner most of the times pull resources and skills together to build a business and manage it. He employs people and setup a business system that can work even with his absence.
If you have skill or money, partner with people who have same desire like you and are ready to take the risk. Sometimes ago, I realized that I have so many ideals and skills that could turn to great things if implemented, also know that I have a bigger dreams with more passion. I didn’t throw the idea away. What I did was to form a partnership with the person who has a more burning desire in the aspect and I provided ideas and skills to make the business successful. That means I have to serve on the board. So to get wealth, you may have to share your dreams and ideas with people who have passion to keep you afloat and not to lose out finally.

4. Be dedicated to your employer/company: to get wealth, you need to be hard working. If you are not sure about entrepreneurship, the best thing for you to do is to be dedicated to your work. Get to work earlier than your other colleagues, leave later than them (remember to maintain work-life balance though). Your dedication to work will pay off. You will get promoted faster than you could ever imagine. Get as much education as possible. Corporate organizations are based on grades, so your educational level couple with your experience and dedication to work will get you to the top. Be helpful to your colleagues, see the company through the eye of the sales people and be honest in all your dealings. You will get access to all the bonuses, training and pay raise.
