What does it mean to be an Industry Rockstar?

Karen Corban — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 02:19:19 +0000

WOW! We’ve been inundated with registrations for our BRAND NEW 1-day Seminar Untold Secrets of Industry Rockstars with Jeff and Kane.

We’ve had many people ask us “What does it mean to be an Industry Rockstar?”

It may help to think of it like this… often times people get stuck running with the pack, rarely distinguishing themselves from the rest, rarely earning more than an average income, often feeling as though they have to struggle to be heard or win customers.

Here’s an 18-Point Checklist outlining the differences between Life in the Pack and Life as an Industry Rockstar…

Life in the Pack	Life as an Industry Rockstar
It’s hard for others to tell you apart from your competitors	You’re the first choice for customers in your niche because you stand out as a leader in your field
Your customers are typically looking for the cheapest price when shopping for your service	Your customers are prepared to pay above average rates for the unique value they receive from you
You typically depend on just one stream of income	Using the power of leverage, you have multiple streams of revenue
You’re often counting the hours until the end of the day	You’re fired up, passionate and loving what you do
You rarely feel you are paid what you are worth and earning a 7-figure income seems like a pipe dream	You either already earn a 7-figure income or you’re well on your way to it
You’re often find yourself following the lead of others	You’re creating the trends others follow
You feel invisible, not really seen by your peers or your market	You’re a shining light in your field – someone your peers look up to and your customers seek out
You’re typically asking “What can you do for me?”	You’re always asking “What can I do for you?”
You’re essentially a “doer” stuck in the daily grind, doing task after task	Your work is an extension of your soul and your big vision leads to big action
Your business lacks a solid foundation and you often feel vulnerable or uncertain	You feel secure – as though you’re standing on solid ground, financially and professionally
Most of your business relationships are transactional and one-off	You have a wealth of sustainable, long term relationships that support your objectives
Finding leads is tough and you have to battle with your competitors for market share	New business is plentiful and comes to you because of your position as an expert in your field
You have to spend a lot of time convincing people to buy from you	You get to choose who you want to work with
You do a lot of talking about changing the world	You’re out there making a difference and changing the world everyday because you have the resources, connection and influence to do it
You feel like you have to fight to be heard	Your opinion is sought by many, including the media, and your message reaches large numbers of people
You feel like your business has flattened out and you can’t seem to get past this current plateau	Your business is thriving and growing and you regularly attract new customers, projects and opportunities
Your networks rarely yield any real results and very few of your peers earn 6-figures or more	You hang out with other Industry Rockstars, most of whom earn 6 and 7-figure incomes and provide you with powerful and profitable connections
You’re not really sure what you stand for, or if you are, you don’t know how to share it with others so they catch onto your vision	You have a clear message, you’re connected to your purpose and you make a stand for important ideas that inspire others and make a difference in the world

Life can be tough when you are stuck in the pack.

And yet it doesn’t have to be this way!

In addition to starting 5 of their own multi-million dollar businesses in the last 5 years, Jeff and Kane have taught 60,000 people around the world how to break free of the pack and become leaders in their fields by unlocking their million dollar message.

If you are a coach, business owner, consultant, practitioner, startup, author or speaker, make sure you put yourself in a position to learn from Jeff and Kane.

Sound Advice

Karen Corban — Fri, 07 May 2010 04:16:23 +0000

As someone keenly interested in marketing and communication, I was fascinated by the recent interview Dan Storey, our head of Business Development UK, recorded with sound expert, Julian Treasure, and I wanted to share some of this incredible information with you.

Julian Treasure has been working for the past eight years teaching large corporations and big brand names to add soundscapes to their marketing strategies. According to Julian, this addition of sound to the marketing mix is not just for the big companies. He says entrepreneurs and small business owners can use sound to not only better market their business, they can also increase their own productivity as well.

The central idea is that you can expand the reach of your product or brand by tapping into more than one sense (many marketers focus purely on visual communication). Julian refers to it as multisensory marketing and it’s an idea gathering momentum. It’s the practice of adding multiple dimensions to your brand or product communications; in this case, audio.

According to Julian, sound affects us in four ways:

Physiologically: If you hear a loud, rapid sound, your heart rate is going to increase.
Psychologically: We all know how music can change our mood.
Cognitively: It affects how well we can think and process information. Did you know that workers in open-plan offices are losing up to two-thirds of their potential productivity?
Behaviourally: Perhaps most important for our purposes, sound changes customer behaviour. It is equally capable of driving them away or drawing them in. In fact, Julian increased customer satisfaction at a major, worldwide brand by 50% simply by altering the soundscape in the toilets!

Julian also says training your voice and learning to be a good listener, are essential ingredients for success, regardless of what type of business you are in.

Listening is a crucial skill for leaders and businesses and as we enter a world where social media is giving each and every customer a voice, it’s becoming increasingly important. Julian talks about coming from a proper “listening position” which will totally change the experience of listening and, more importantly, the effect it has on the person talking to you.

Some amazing statistics Julian shares about the power of using sound successfully in business:

- proven to triple productivity

- improve sales by up to 40%

- increase customer satisfaction by 50% or more

This interview really opened my ears when it comes to how I can use sound in my business and I hope this information will help you to attract more clients, increase employee productivity and keep customers happy.

You can listen to the entire interview with Julian Treasure here.

Finding the Value

Karen Corban — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 22:49:56 +0000

Forbes recently announced their 2010 list of the World’s Billionaires and there was quite a lot of interest in the fact that Mexican tycoon Carlos Slim Helu had beaten out Bill Gates and Warren Buffett to become the wealthiest person on earth.

Whilst Carlos Slim Helu’s story is incredible, my interest was peaked by a billionaire who placed 616th on the list.

His name is Isaac Perlmutter. In 1996 Isaac bought Marvel comics – home of the Marvel superheroes Spider-man, Iron Man and The Hulk – out of bankruptcy. Last year he sold the business to Disney for $US4 billion, personally receiving $800 million in cash and $590 million in Disney stock after the acquisition.

His personal fortune is listed by Forbes at $US1.6 billion.

Not bad for an immigrant from Israel who is said to have arrived in America with $US250 in his pocket.

There are a couple of key reasons this particular story jumped out at me from the list of 793 billionaires featured on the Forbes list this year:

1. Finding the Value

My good friend, Chris Howard, often says the entrepreneur creates wealth through two key ways – finding value and creating value. In this instance, Isaac Perlmutter is a classic example of both. He was able to see the value in the under-utilised Marvel asset, even though it was in bankruptcy. That was the first part. And then, through his leadership he was able to grow the business, creating value through big-budget movies and other innovative means to the point where it was acquired by one of the most iconic entertainment companies on the planet.

2. Anything is possible

Everyday, in the work that I do, I hear stories from our participants of their complete personal transformation. People going from broke to prosperous in a few short months, or turning their health around, or creating the careers and relationships they’d always dreamed of. Everyday I am reminded that anything is possible. And Isaac Perlmutter is another example. An immigrant with $250 in his pocket can become one of the handful of billionaires on the planet.

I’ll say it again. Anything is possible.
