Part 1 - Welcome!

August was a very busy month at Senn-Sational headquarters with lots of extremely exciting developments unfolding in the pipeline!

The main project that I have just co-launched in the past week is called Web Wednedays. Web Wednesdays is a monthly networking event for entrepreneurs who either have their own online business or have a great idea for an online business. And as you might have guessed we meet on Wednesdays (the first one of every month!).

I co-created the project with my very good friend and business partner, Rob Anderson. The reason we both felt so inspired to launch the project was because of the fact that every one we meet these days is talking about doing business online (including many of my personal coaching clients!).

At the moment the networking group is London based, though we are looking to launch the event in other cities around the world soon!

The networking event will provide a great opportunity for people to share their knowledge and resources with like-minded people and I'd love to see you there!

For more information please see www.webwednesdays.com

My second major project that is under development is 'myfirstthousandsubscribers.com'.

As both of my newsletters have grown to over 1000 subscribers each, many people have asked me to share my strategies for rapidly attracting subscribers without spending any money on advertising.

I am deeply immersed in the process of writing the ebook that will show you my step-by-step approach. To make sure that I cover any questions that you may have about building a subscriber list, I have set up a page to accept any questions that you may have.

To provide a little incentive for people, I have also decided to give away copies of the book to 3 lucky people who submit their questions. To submit yours please click the following link.

(Winners will be announced in a later editions of my newsletters!)

Thank you once again for your continued readership.

Take a chance 2day!

Part 5 - Featured Article - What is Your Success Secret?

I’m going to begin this article by sharing a little secret with you…

‘If you want to experience success as an entrepreneur you must first experience entrepreneurial success.’

So what exactly do I mean by this?

Success is never an accident. To reach the pinnacle in any field of endeavour you must have the ability to visualise, touch, taste, hear and smell your own success.

Can you imagine an Olympic champion standing on the podium totally surprised to pick up their gold medal? There's absolutely no way! Chances are they’ve imagined exactly what it would feel like to wear their medal, wave at their adoring fans and sing along to their national anthem, thousands of times before it actually became a reality.

You have to see it first!

It was Vincent Van Gogh who said, ‘I dream my paintings and then I paint my dreams.’ As an entrepreneur you have to be able to see your business as a success before it can become successful.

Once you have an understanding of your business concept, visualise the happy customers that you will serve, the business partners that you will collaborate with and most importantly the streams of money that will flow into your company’s bank account for work well done.

What will having a successful business mean to you?

As an extension of this visualisation exercise also consider what having a successful business will mean to you personally. For me, a successful coaching business means being able to do the work that I love, surrounding myself with inspirational people and having the opportunity to share my own unique talents.

So what does success in business mean to you? Your definition can actually span many different levels. Consider what it will mean to you financially, emotionally, spiritually, mentally and physically.

Once you have your list, ask yourself "what can I do to start experiencing those states of being immediately?"

Celebrate Your Success!

Celebrating your success is a crucial part of attracting even more success.

When I launched my two coaching newsletters, I had a vision that I wanted them to inspire people all over the world. My subscriber list begun with one subscriber in one country (in other words, me!). Every time someone from a new country signed up I would celebrate the achievement by either clapping my hands, clicking my fingers and on the odd occasion by giving myself a high five (embarrassing I know!). I also follow a similar process every time I sign up a new client.

A simple process of acknowledging and celebrating your success is a very important part of attracting increasing levels of prosperity and good fortune into your life and business.

So what is the secret of your entrepreneurial success?

Imagine yourself sitting in a chair being interviewed by a television journalist five years from now. You breeze through her pleasant enquiry until she asks you the final killer question "So tell me, what is the secret of your entrepreneurial success?"

This will be your cue. The moment you've been waiting for. You take a big, deep breath. You rock back in your chair. You throw you arms behind your head and then remark "Well I'm flattered that you asked. The secret of my success is .................." (and you can take it away from here!)

When you are crafting your response be sure to highlight your unique talents, your extraordinary ability to overcome adversity and most importantly your capacity to celebrate every little success along the way!
