5 Stages of Relationship

Hi Isyaias,

We've arranged for you to recieve something very
special from our good friends and relationship
experts, Paul and Layne Cutright.

Everyone else has to buy it in order to have it,
but as a SuccessNet subscriber, you get it at no cost.

Did you know that . . .

. . . upsets, misunderstandings & miscommunications
are inevitable and predictable in any relationship?
 
Not only that, upsets are actually unavoidable and
recurrent for people who DO NOT know about the Five
Stages of Relationships.

You see, all relationships go through five predictable
stages. And the one that is usually most problematic
and painful for people is the second stage, The Power
Struggle.

Knowing these stages is like having a map that will
help you to accurately assess where you are in your
relationships, where you have been, and where you
can go. This will also allow you to deal effectively
with the particular concerns of the stage you are in.

If you don't know that, you could easily misinterpret
what is going on in the relationship, make misguided
choices, and miss important learning and growth
opportunities. Each stage requires a different, yet
overlapping set of skills.

Success in relationships is about mastering these skills.

This self-assessment is very simple to do and takes
about 30 minutes to complete. Once you've completed
the self-assessment you will have deeper insight into
the inner workings of your most important relationships.

Many people have said that simply discovering the Five
Stages of Relationship and learning where they and
their relationship are in the five stages has helped
them understand more about relationships than all the
other books they've read about relationships.

Simply go to this special webpage and request your
free assessment.

Make it a great day,

Learn From My Mistakes

Hi Isyaias,

It's been a while since I contacted you last.

...I'm not pitching anything in this email so you can
leave your credit card in your wallet.

I just wanted to drop you a quick line to keep in
touch because I really appreciate you as a subscriber.

And while I've got your attention, I may as well
share a few golden nuggets of advice.

--------

** 5 [sic] Big Mistakes You Can Learn From **

1. Not having a clear goal.

You might have heard this before...

"If you don't know where you're going, how will you
know where you get there?"

Most of us have an idea of what we want to achieve but
until you actually sit down and make really targeted
goals, you'll be wandering around aimlessly.

--------

2. Being too perfect.

Perfectionism is a big hurdle that slows progress big time!

I can be a perfectionist sometimes...but I really wish I
wasn't. Sometimes I'm stuck before I start because I'm
trying to make my idea perfect.

But some of my biggest successes have been when I got
an idea and ran with it. It wasn't perfect but it was
good enough.

----------

3. Tying to do it all by yourself.

Running your online business by yourself is a big job,
as you might already know.

I still do most of my work myself...but I should
outsource more.

When I DO outsource, it's a massive burden off my shoulders.
I really recommend it. Even if it's just small things like
getting graphics or articles written, this is where you can
really get things done.

----------

4. Not developing skills.

An online business requires you to have computer skills,
marketing skills and a whole lot more.

I found that as I learned new skills, like copywriting for
example, it helped me write better ads which helped my
business grow.

You still might be learning how to use your PC or to type..
and if that's the case, learn it well! Your computer is your
tool you use to create your business.

The more skills you can develop, the more help and service
you can provide to your customers.

Remember though, you don't have to learn how to use every
video and photo editing software..or learn php coding...
because like I mentioned above, you can outsource that.

Skills like that can be "borrowed" but skills you might want
to develop as an online business owner could be marketing,
time management and managerial skills.

---------

I hope these little pointers help you avoid some mistakes
that stop you from achieving your dreams.

I'll be in touch!

p.s. Don't be afraid to make mistakes though...because it's
the best way to learn.

How To Pace Your Follow-up

Some of the greatest mistakes entrepreneurs make is in their follow-up efforts with their customers and prospects. You see, most small business owners fit into one of two categories.

1. Those that don't follow up often enough. (99 percent of small business owners don't follow up at all.) When your follow-up is inconsistent and infrequent, you're simply wasting your time and marketing dollars. Your contacts won't remember who you are...and those that do will simply regard you as "the occasional pest."

2. Those that follow up too often. When you send too many messages to your contacts, you are going to be viewed as a mass marketer. In fact, a recent email study shows that 65% of men and 56% of women define spam as "email from a company that I have done business with that comes too often."

So how do you determine the best pace at which to follow up with your clients? Well that's the tricky part. Each group of prospects and customers is going to react to your follow-up differently. So ultimately, you are going to have to "test" your group. But here are some key, follow-up principles to keep in mind:

  • Follow-up must be consistent
  • Send frequent enough messages to keep your name fresh in your contacts' minds
  • Send valuable and educational materials as well as your marketing message
  • Your messages should be building a relationship with your contacts
  • Be personal, be real and a little entertaining

By following these principles, I have no doubt you will find the follow-up pace that is perfect for you, your customers, and your prospects!
