The conversation centered around the fact all of us have stories to share but so many are inhibited by constraints imposed by social pressure. When we realize that there are people who can benefit form our story within it becomes a bit easier to spread the word.
The successful sales process is really the result of someone being presented a story and finding acceptance to the presentation. The more “personal” the story is, typically the more it is accepted and the sale is consummated.

Hosted by: Chuck Bartok Title: EPISODE319 – You Can Build It, Your Business
Time: 08/27/2014 09:30 PM EDT Episode Notes: What really works for Social Media? Discussion centered around ASKING Questions LISTENING effectively and the right questions to the RIGHT people.
Also, do we spend TOO much time on the “new” Shiny objects presented daily through Social Media and effectively using Social Media to present NEW ideas
We thank Peter Wright, Steve Mistratta, and Adrian Graves for their valuable input.
Based on phone calls and conversations, we hear so many express the desire to begin or grow a small business.
What we find out is very few Believe in their idea, have Written a concise Plan of Action, and decided absolutely on a Starting Date of the beginning or the changes implemented to grow.
In essence, they do NOT possess a Business Mindset
Seems that wonderful, workable ideas just lat dormant or suffer short-lived starts.
Have you found that to be true?
What magic wand is waved that allows a few “chosen ones” to apply an action to their Dream and enjoy the benefits of success?
Personally, I do not think it is magic at all. it is nothing more than a person’s Belief in Self and a Burning Desire to accomplish what they have Demanded of themselves. It is not a factor of age, education or capital. However, observation shows most of the “lucky ones” DO invest heavily in their Time and Energy in self-improving. The willingness to “learn” is definitely a strong trait of those enjoying Journeys to Success.
But there is a simple one-two-three easy to apply system.
Define your Goal
Write the plan of action
Apply massive action immediately
PODCAST Below
Of course, it has always been recommended to have formed a Mastermind Alliance to discuss and share the planning stages and to discuss the progress. We have been conducting two weekly podcasts for the several years.
It was recently on the business development Podcast, You Can Build It that we had the honor of 2 guests, both of whom created and are growing “businesses” THEIR WAY and dong a fine job!
Robert W. Walker is an accomplished and many times traditionally published author of exciting Crime and Mystery novels, many of which are premised on historical facts. Robert shares his experiences with the traditional publishing arena and how frustrating it can be to be the creator of Product and find one’s self at the back of the financial Bus and NOT be in control of the final product.
A few years ago RobertWalkerr decided to re-direct his energy to self Publishing and was aided by the focus of Amazon to the Kindle Reader and the Kindle Book versions. That bold decision was not accepted by many of his peers and the negativity flowed, but Robert realized how much more he will be satisfied being in Control of His own Creations
Our other Guest, Terrific Tonya Heathco is no stranger to adversity. She has a rare form of seizure disorder and suffers occurrences on a daily basis. Tonya “Had a Dream” to create a Public Awareness and understanding about her disorder, which is shared with another 3,000,000 people around the world. She was a frequent participant in our Tuesday Morning self-improvement Talk Show and also the Wednesday evening Business Development show. Tonya realized that SHE owns the power to accomplish her goal of forming a non-profit 501 c-3 Entity and grow an manage that “Business”.
Terrific Tonya Heathco was told by several existing foundations that her idea was not needed and there could be little or no support found…Well, that DID NOT Discourage her, she successfully created and grew her Awareness platforms. Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond her control, it has since been disbanded
