Inspiration For Innovation Can Come From Anywhere

Over the years in several different aspects of business more than a few very wise people have referred to me as a marketing genius which I greatly appreciate. The often unrealized fact about most of my best innovative marketing ideas and systems is that they usually already existed in some form in another capacity!
There are ideas that can improve your business all around you if you pay attention! I am big on trying new things to differentiate myself from the pack! Especially on the real estate side of marketing. The inspiration for voice recorded direct mail was from Christmas cards!
I'm also big on tracking the performance of marketing. There is no reason for wasted motion,energy,or most importantly money! I know a bunch of people attempt to track results by having multiple phone numbers and websites for their varying ad pieces. This can get expensive or even confusing quickly! How did I get the idea to just put a numerical code with each one to simplify the process, and also allow me to try multiple ads at once? The system came from Pizza Hut coupons! It's saved me thousands of dollars yearly on phone services,web costs for unnecessary websites,& non producing direct mail. Plus saved many hours from being wasted on posting Craigslist ads that just don't convert!
Chances are your million dollar idea or lifestyle creating idea to reach your goals already exists you just have to recognize it!

5 Ways To Be a Guru at Anything in No Time

If you want to be a guru these are the 5 ways or keys to achieving that goal.
5. Fake it til you make it! I mean why the hell would you actually want to be successful at a niche when you can just pretend you're an expert!? Just go on the internet and memorize the most common yet basic bits of information then voila slap together a little product and you are officially an expert!
4. Find something that has been around in your niche for a few decades that isn't the most talked about subject, and put a new fancier name on it! Why would you do that? Because this is getting to guru status not actually creating something on your own! Ain't nobody got time for that bullshit!
3. Take something free that already exists that everyone already has throw some silly ass name on it that's 2 separate words together for no damn reason in particular other than that's catchier and more people will buy your shit! Reason for this? If you're gonna be a "true guru" you've got to be okay with being a complete piece of shit! Anything to get the suckers money!
2. Spend more time inflating numbers than actually doing anything! You heard of something or read a blog post on it for the first time 2 years ago? Hell sounds like you've been in the game almost 5 years in guru years! You've actually done a couple of things in your business? Take what ever dollar amount you've made and report that number in pennies!
1. Always "do the impossible" and make it sound simpler than dissecting a frog for a guy with no thumbs! Definitely remember that being a guru takes no real work! All you need is the perception of "doing work"! 

Anyway on a serious note nobody should want to be a guru! There is no easy way to the top! If you want to get there work your ass off and don't waste your time trying to live up to the product pushers standards! Working your ass off doesn't mean being a pest to somebody you look up to either! Asking every detail of a transaction twice down to what flavor of bubblicious they had that day! Most people don't mind helping anybody ,but if they have a mentoring or coaching program they sell don't try to bullshit your way to freebie coaching! If you can't make any real effort besides bugging the hell out of somebody you don't deserve the success you seek! There is no easy way work hard and actually become an expert in your chosen field!
