If we are going to be successful in our endeavors we must learn to cast the vision for our product or organization. Without this people will not know where we are going or why they should follow us. To begin to cast the vision there are three things that we must look at.

Number 1 – the present problem. You must present the present problem so everyone can be on board with what is going on. Bob Franquiz states in his new book, Zero to Sixty, “before you can tell people about the glorious future you have planned, you have to create a dissatisfaction with the status quo”. For example, if your product is in the weight loss niche then you must begin to create dissatisfaction with being overweight. You have to lay out the problem with whatever it is you are picking.

Once you have done that then you can move on to Number 2- the proposed solution. Here is where you take it to the next step. You are able to tell people why they need to buy your product or join your organization. Back to our example. We have laid out the problem. The person knows that they are overweight and all the health risks associated with it. Now you begin to tell them about your product and how it will help them overcome the problem they have.

Now on to Number 3- the potential action. It’s all fine and good that they know they have a problem and there is an answer, but they now need to take action. This is where many people blow it. They don’t close the deal so to speak. If you want your potential customer to take action tell them what action you want them to take. Back to the example. They have heard the problem, have seen the solution, now what? Do they sign up for this newsletter, or buy this DVD, or sign up and become a member? You fill in the blank of what action you want them to take. If you do not ask they will not do it on their own.

So, as you begin to cast the vision for your organization, include these three things and you will see a difference in your outcome.

Keep going higher and don’t look back.

A really good example of burnout in the Bible can be found in I Kings 19 and the story of Elijah.

I am not going to go into the details of the story - you can read that. Here are some signs of burnout:

1. We depreciate our worth. We compare ourselves to others and what we expect our lives to be. Once you begin to compare yourself to others you begin to destroy your worth and your accomplishments. As this occurs you begin to lose sight of what you have truly accomplished and the only thing you can see is what you have failed at or what you think you have failed at. As this happens you begin to slide into the next phrase of burnout.

2. We devalue our work. We must remember that we are only responsible for obedience. You will begin to place the total result of your life’s work on your shoulders. You must remember that you are only responsible for what you do.

3. We exaggerate our problems. We make them bigger than they really are. Have you ever made things bigger than they really are? We all have done this. Every single one of us. My mom use to say you are making a mountain out of a mole hill. When we get to this place, we have lost proper vision and we are not seeing correctly. When that happens it’s easy to fall into the next phrase.

4. We abdicate our dreams. When we stop dreaming we die inside. We quit, or stop, caring or just begin to go through the routine of life. I guess this is one of the worst places to be. You have become miserable. No vision will cause the people to perish. Hope deferred makes the heart sick. This is a really bad place to be.

Do you find yourself feeling burned out? What are you doing about it? What have you done about it?
In the next article I will talk about the cure for burnout.

Can you relate?

If you can and you still have the spirit of a flipper I have some great news for you.  I am going to tell you about something that can make you the money that you missed out on.

Here you go…Website Flipping Secrets Exposed.

The first thing that we need to look at in website flipping secrets exposed is what is website flipping.  Instead of flipping a house you are flipping a website.  You can either buy an existing website and upgrade it and then flip it or you can build a website and get it going and then sell it.  The choice is yours - they both work great.

The second thing in website flipping secrets exposed is how much will it cost me.  The start up costs are very low.  That’s the great thing about this.  I guarantee that you will not have to get any financing.  The cost will depend upon what you do.  If you build your own site you will need your domain name, auto responder, and the cost to register the site at a website flipping sell site.  Much of this can be outsourced through http://wwwscriptlance.com.  If you are not use to building sites this is a great option for you.

The other way is for you to buy a website or blog from one of the auction sites or from a website flipping site and then rehab the site.  Once the site is rehabed, you sell it.  The cost will be whatever you pay for the site and the cost of rehabing it.

The third thing in website flipping secrets exposed is you need to read and learn as much as you can.  One of my mentors told me a long time ago that people learn one of two ways.  They either learn from the mistakes of others or they learn from their own mistakes.  It is always easier to learn from someone elses mistakes.  There are a lot of people who have begun to talk about website flipping, but there is someone who has been doing it for years.  Justin and Chaunna Brooke have some great resources on website flipping.
