Getting The Best Results In Business and In Life

I am going to share two secrets with you right now that will help you get the absolute best results both in your business and in your personal life.

#1 Find the best people. This goes both for business and your personal life. Let's talk about finding the best people in business first.

Finding the best people is one of the most important aspects of having success in business. Without having the best people on your team it is very hard to succeed, however if you have the best people on your team it's very hard to fail.

Always hire and work with people who are better than you in whatever area of business you are working on. I will talk about an example of this in my company. We have been struggling for the past two years on one key part of our business. This was a part of business that no one in our company was an expert. We tried training several people from within the company on how to become an expert in this field, however we did this with no success. After spending almost two years and tons of money we were back to square one.

Finally we decided to go after an actual expert in the field who had a proven track record. Now this person will end up paying for himself 10 times over. A very nice asset (also a great person) who will be paid very good for the work he is doing for our company.

We missed out on a lot of potential profits by not finding the best person to fill the position earlier. After almost two years of just dragging along finally we decided to go out and hire the best person for the job and it has paid off big time. He is now generating as much revenue in 2 days as the entire department used to generate in a whole month.

If you have an area of your business that is not prospering I urge you to go out and find the absolute best person you can add to your team. When you have a WINNER on the team he/she also helps bring up all the other players on the team as well.

The people in business who have the best people on their team always make the most money and they alway win!

This is also true in your personal life. I would say this is more important in your personal life than in business. Surround your self with the best people. You were born into a certain social environment. You are not forced to stay there, if the people around you are not the people who you could look up to or look at as a good role model. Surround yourself with new people. What determines where you will be at in 5 years is the books you read and the people your surround your self with.

#2 Focus - One of the easiest ways to fail in business and in life is to try and focus on too many things. Those people who do this never accomplish one singular thing with excellence. If you find yourself working on too many projects that you never end up having massive success with any one of them, you need to step back look at everything you have on the table. Figure out which one looks to be the most promising and focus all your energy and attention on that project until it is complete.

This is a huge stumbling block for so many people. I have been very guilty of this myself in the past. I would try to work on 30 things at once and I would never have success with any of them. When I started focusing on one project at a time my results went through the roof.
