Have you ever asked yourself, "Why am I a very poor man?" Perhaps it's nothing more than a mindset issue, so let's explore and find out ... Okay?

In business you must develop a Long Term Mind-set. Business is a long term situation and you must have a Long Term Mind-set. If you have a Short Term Mind-set you are not going to become a business success. Short Term Mind-sets are what you need simply to pass through the first phase of business success which is the Survival Phase.

Over 95% of people who enter business of any kind be it brick and mortar, Internet affiliate opportunity, multi-level marketing opportunity or even a guided franchise opportunity are not going to achieve business success. They will leave or close down their business just at the wrong time and most of the time this is done when they are one hair away from becoming a business success.

Nearly all eventually end up leaving or closing down their business because of the exact same reason. They just do not understand the Marketing Process. In short they miscalculate the difference between a Short Term Mind-set and a Long Term Mind-set. In general most people will tell you their business was not a success due to a lack of money. Although since the inception, development and offering of "Credit" all who will properly use that option have literally had access to unlimited funding with which to grow any business into a success.

The true problem is that most people have "No Mind-Set Marketing Plan!"

They have no idea of what they are actually doing or of what they are actually attempting to achieve. Here is where we transcend the difference between a Short Term Mind-set and a Long Term Mind-set. The very best definition of Marketing that has ever been brought forth is this one: "Marketing produces best results when it is done well and it is done frequently." To develop a "Mind-Set Marketing Plan" you must do both of those things.

You must market "Well" meaning you must have the right resources, you need to send the right thoughts to the mind and you must send these thoughts in the right way. Doing it over and over and over again to fully achieve having done it "Frequently." In any business survival is the Short Term Mind-set, but success can only be achieved through the Long Term Mind-set. With a "Mind-Set Marketing Plan" being the keys that open the gates of the Long Term Mind-set and business success.

Business success only comes with a Long Term Mind-set. You must have Long Term Visions and your "Mind-Set Marketing Plan" must be created and done so that you can, do and will prosper in the Long Term. You must survive in the Short Term, but to generate fully satisfying and total business success you can not only look at how to survive in the Short Term, but you must develop your own personal "Mind-Set Marketing Plan!" to achieve a Long Term Mind-set.

To begin developing your "Mind-Set Marketing Plan!" and a Long Term Mind-set the very first thing you must know, acknowledge and understand is that there are No Experts and there are absolutely No Set Rules.

No Experts : Be careful of the proselytizers who tell you there is only one way to do things. It would be too easy if that were so.

The profit goes to the creative entrepreneur who builds on the ideas of others. J P Getty once said, "To succeed in business, to reach the top, an individual must know all it is possible to know about that business. Getty went on; I love to hear the ideas of others and often wish I would have thought of them. But I take other people's ideas and change them to make them work in my business. And thus came the most famous quote that was ever made by J. P. Getty ... I would rather earn 1% off a 100 people's efforts than 100% of my own efforts."

No Set Rules : All of this makes it difficult for the people with Short Term Mind-sets. If you think there were rules for success. And all you had to do was to discover them and practice them. Why do the rules seem so fuzzy? The answer
should be obvious. There are very few rules, but there are lots of ideas. The successful business, Long Term Mind-set, people among us will take these ideas and develop them into a successful enterprise. The less successful and less creative, Short Term Mind-set, will try to follow set "rules" and will wonder why they are not making a seven figure income.

To be successful you must find what works in your business, with your personality, with your skills, your comfort level and for you. A "Mind-Set Marketing Plan!" develops your business plans with a kind of self assessment of your strengths and weaknesses and then tailor a Long Term Mind-set of business around them, using only the ideas you like and discarding those you don't.

Letting yourself only be stimulated by the ideas of others and creative enough to change them to work in your business. There are no set rules or correct ways to do everything, and when you think you know it all by only following set rules or business models of someone else you are heading for a fall.

No Experts and No Set Rules will be the only way that you can and will be open and confident enough to solve the problem nearly all who fail in business have in common ... having No"Mind-Set Marketing Plan!"

Because there is only one place in this universe that anyone can a "Mind-Set Marketing Plan" that can, does and will ensure Long Term success in business and that is inside your own mind. If you do not follow the simple definition of "Mind-Set Marketing" above, "Marketing well and doing it frequently" within the confides of your own mind. You have a Short Term Mind-set that will grab all the excuses available as reasons for business failure other than the one that is truly responsible. You lack the "Mind-Set Marketing Plan" to develop a Long Term Mind-set of business success that is required and has been achieved by all the rich, famous and seven figure income producers that have come before you.

Now if you have read this article the person who has presented it to you has done you a very great service and favor because they have and will actually save you many hours of frustration, dissatisfaction and regret in any of you business attempts. They have, in fact, identified the most common causes of business failure for you and given you a base from which to develop a "Mind-Set Marketing Plan" to transform any Short Term Mind-set business plans into the Long Term Mind-set that will build you Long Term business success.

For if you have ever begun any marketing campaign and not gotten the responses or result you have desired ... and then "Quit" you have "Stopped at the Beginning." You are not at the end. You are only at the very beginning of a process that must go on and on and on and on until you find what works in your business, with your personality, with your skills, your comfort level and for you in the "Mind-Set Marketing Plan" of your own mind and no where else.

If your "Mind-Set Marketing Plan" does not or has not passed the challenges of your own mind. They will never pass the challenges of anyone else's mind either.

So if you have ever asked yourself, "Why am I a poor man?" Perhaps you now have the tool to see it may be nothing more than a Mind-set Thing. Deeply reviewing the base upon which your current "Mind-Set Marketing Plan" is built is one of the first steps on the most successful journey you may ever embark upon in your life!
