What Can You Learn from a Billionaire?

What do billionaires know that you don't? How can you benefit from learning a few new distinctions that could dramatically increase your results?

You probably have seen many books on the topic of becoming a millionaire. They have titles like The Millionaire Mind, The Millionaire Next Door, and Weekend Millionaire Mindset.

But what about billionaires? You may be interested to know that more than 2,300 people have won an Olympic Gold Medal, but only 1,125 people have become billionaires.

Please keep in mind that this group of 1,125 people includes people who had major help along the way: Many were born with it, inherited it, or had every advantage while growing up.

Then there's my friend Bill Bartmann. He became a self-made billionaire after being in terrible circumstances: His family was twice evicted from homes because the buildings were declared “unfit for human habitation.” He kept a pet dog, not to be his play buddy, but to keep the rats off him at night. Yet he went on to become a billionaire.

Here's where it gets even more interesting – Bill is willing to share with you the details of how he became a billionaire, and he would like to offer you an opportunity to partner with him in his current business. When have you had the chance to partner with someone who knows what it takes to build a multi-billion dollar business?

Be sure to listen to this audio from start to finish. You'll just as amazed as I am about his story.

In fact, by the end of the audio, you'll understand why Bill became so astonishingly successful and you’ll understand the opportunity that is available to you and me right now.

Learn from a man who has gone from bankrupt to billionaire. You don’t want to miss this!

One of the keys to lead generation is systems. You want to develop multiple lead generation systems.

Lead generation begins with a database. Do you have a database where you are entering leads? If not, then you might be leaving money on the table.

Lead generation begins with identifying your target market. Who is your ideal client? You need to find ways to connect with new prospects, whether through networking, phone calls, or email.

A POI is a Person of Influence!

Eric's number 1 lead generation idea is POI. A POI is a person of influence. Everyone has a network. A POI is a person who has a large network where a % of that network is your target market.

Another great strategy to prospect for new leads is through Top Down Selling. This is another way of describing a POI relationship. You influence the POI to refer you, recommend you, or endorse you to their network.

So, what can you do if you want to reach a POI in an organization? You can use an approach called Climb the Ladder Selling. This is where you know someone who knows the POI. You get the person you know to refer you to the POI.

Another strategy that many people know about, but that few do well is the Reciprocal Referral Relationship. This is where you find someone that you can refer business to and then can refer business back to you. An example would be a real estate agent and an insurance agent.

What are you doing to find new prospects? Select one new strategy to implement and you will be well on your way to finding new prospects.

I am a collector of great ideas.

To me this is a great idea.

Yesterday I was on a mastermind call with one of my mastermind partners, Ken Foster.  To learn more about Ken go to http://asksucceed.com/

Ken said, "Eric, make a list of everything that is working in your business and then make a list of everything that isn't working."

I took his suggestion and started writing down everything that is working and everything that isn't.

From the exercise I got some incredible insight into how to move my business forward, faster.

Take out 15 minutes and try it out.

This exercise is the best idea I have learned this year so far.

Success,

Eric Lofholm
