Are you making the best possible use of everything you’ve got?

Are you getting the best return on everything you’re investing in your business—your money, your effort, and above all, your time?

Everybody knows at least one highly productive person, someone for whom there seems to be more than 24 hours in a day. This person is 10 times more productive than her competitor because she understands the concept of highest and best use. It’s a rather simple—yet inarguable—concept.

Written by Jay Abraham and republished with permission

Almost any business can achieve astonishing growth, even in the midst of a severe economic downturn like the one we face today. I’d like to show you how.

Step one: it’s vitally important to take careful stock of all the psychological and transactional changes going on in both the minds and lives of your marketplace and in the minds and lives of your competitors. Look at the attitude and actions of all your suppliers, vendors, and support services.

You’ll probably witness the following predictable reactions: your competitors are feeling battered. Their sales and marketing approaches are generating meager results. They don’t have a tried and tested plan of action. Certainly they don’t have a proactive strategy for capitalizing on all the things going awry.

I love a bad economy.

Not because of the pain it causes. Far from it. A lot of people and industries are suffering as never before, and there’s nothing positive about that. Instead, I see the silver lining to an economic slowdown like the one we’re experiencing today.

When you move beyond worry and fear, you’ll discover that areas of growth are actually more plentiful than they are during boom times.

In a bad economy, you can walk all over your competition, lap the field, run circles—you pick the metaphor. The main thing is that you can win easily…if you know how to benefit from bad times. Everyone else is dropping out of the race, and you’re seeing the checkered flag. You’re looking forward, and everyone else is looking backwards. They’re terrified, and you’re making a fortune. You’re seeing opportunities and overlooked markets, transactions, and areas of thinking that no one else saw in good times, so they certainly won’t see them in times of financial struggle.

In my previous post, I mentioned that Jay Abraham is coming out with an all new, blockbuster book - The Sticking Point Solution.

“The Sticking Point Solution” carefully addresses, explains and answers the questions of why most businesses stall or spiral downward in a recession like this one.

It will clearly and brilliantly guide you to much higher levels of sales, profits and complete success right away–not years from today.

Jay’s book will be available June 2nd in bookstores–online and offline, everywhere.

But right now, he wants your help to drive insane pre-demand at those bookstores.

So he’s told me that if you are willing to help him, he will do something enormously valuable for you, in return.

Ever since US Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner took up the hot seat on Feb 26, he has been criticised every step of the way.

From his (unpreviously) unpaid taxes, his vague bank rescue plan and more recently, over his failure to stop the AIG from paying out $165 million in executive bonuses.

While we wait for the White House to revive the economy, governments worldwide are announcing unprecedented stimulus packages to jumpstart the economy.

Reproducing a recent email from Jay Abraham below:

losses, when you start thinking you’re losing the
business or career battle…you need a breath of
fresh air.

You need to know what Jay would do — if he were
you.

Why?
