Promotion Idea of the Week, give it away they will come....

Current Advertising Decision
     I have been doing a lot of thinking on where my advertising money is best spent and have finally come to a conclusion. Rather than spending money on google ads, radio commercials, or even random advertising on websites like fiverr.com I have come to the realization giving free samples to potential customers and free bottles to any potential wholesalers is my best option. This reasoning comes from recent feedback, I have been getting great reviews and giving out free samples has been my most successful tactic after the products have been tried it usually in turn creates a customer. The potential investment in this type of strategy is no more expensive then any other advertisement vessel I may have opted for in the past and with this I can use the "proof is in the pudding" strategy and just let people experience the products for themselves rather than talking about the products until i'm blue in the face. I will also be running a promotion soon, anyone willing to give a short video review of Simply Focus or SuperHero Fuel will get a bottle free, I think reviews are nice but more and more are fake on many websites these days, I believe this tactic will show potential customers who are on the fence real reviews from real people without any question of legitimacy.

Idea Of The Day
     I'm a nerd and consider that word a term of endearment, I have been reading recently how many pro gamers have been getting drug tested for concentration drugs such as adoral. My idea is to reach out to these gamers allow them to try a bottle of Simply Focus free and hopefully start an epidemic in that demographic. I think it will do extremely well and is all natural so there will be no worries of getting busted for foul play for using illegal stimulants. 

Its been a busy day but I'm excited I get to go to bed content and wake up excited, and that is all I will ever ask for in life.

Signs of progress!!!-- Entrepreneur Success Status

It has been a bit over 6 months since I have started this adventure, I have tried quite a few tactics for sales and marketing and have learned a lot. Actually I know I am still learning daily and still figuring it all out, which I know will be a life long lesson. I have recently read a few books I believe will help me substantially in marketing and sales in the future. the books were The Power of Habit and The Tipping Point, both of these books have caused me to take a step back and methodically think about the choices being made in marketing and how to get maximum exposure to my products. Both Books were amazing and I highly recommend them.
      I have begun taking my products to nutrition stores locally, I wish I would have done this months ago. Anytime I was able to talk to the owner of a store they were always very impressed with the ingredients and look of my first product Simply Focus just a little wary about the price points. I have created a high quality product and will always stand by that, but the downside is my wholesale price which is a bit higher than others, I just hope consumers begin to realize the uniqueness and benefits my products offer.
     Good signs, I am seeing a steady increase in anonymous sales. at first I was selling quite a bit but only to people in my circle which made it easy because I was able to let them try the products which in turn made it easy to make sales. I am still looking into how to solve this issue of getting anonymous customers past the tipping point to buy, one recent tactic I have started to use is giving away free product to gyms and retail stores for them to try and allow customers to test as well. Right now I am stuck between using my time to push the product locally vs seeking out bloggers and doing more of a online marketing approach. I am moving to Alaska in about a month so that alone has persuaded me to push the product locally and try to saturate this market while I am here. When I move I will still have a regional manager in Florida which will keep our shipping site here, but I will no longer be able to seek new local opportunities as aggressively.
     Milestones, I have a meeting Monday at Max Fit in Fort Walton Beach after a few weeks of talk, allowing them to sample the product, and negotiating I believe we have come to a deal, soon you will be able to find Simply Focus and MGN SuperHero Fuel in 3 local Max Fit stores in FWB and the surrounding area! Also we have just made our first sale on E-bay which is also very exciting.

I will continue to read to learn and push forward, when I settle in Alaska I will look for a mentor or a Entrepreneur group aggressively, I know that is one thing I am missing that can and will impact my progress greatly.

Why Pain is Addicting

Anyone can run downhill few can run up it and get to their goal, any goal worth obtaining will be difficult if it were easy everyone would do it, the good thing is difficult painful tasks will actually become easier and easier the more you do them, not only will the tasks get easier for that particular goal your brain will actually start to re-wire itself making difficult unappealing tasks much easier and less stressful to do. Your brain is a squishy evolving circuit board, if you spend the majority of your time playing video games that will be the strongest wiring your brain will currently have, this explains why taking on a new skill is so difficult your brain is weak in that area until you do it over and over and evolve your circuits which will eventually make that new habit or skill seem second nature. Never become discouraged when trying something new, just know the harder you try the harder it will be to quit!

Making a Better Self!

Successful people have one thing in common they are always striving for self improvement. This is commonly misunderstood as never being content, but the truth is many of the very successful know how important it is to be content and happy with what you have and with those around you. They also have an understanding that what they have achieved is not what is important but rather the person they have become on the journey to those achievements. So if you have a desire in you to be great and are unsure of what to do next, pick up a book from someone or something that inspires you, I promise it will lead you to another book and another book your ideas will grow and you will eventually find your purpose, and a purpose in life is a powerful thing, and what it is all about.

    Another tip I have heard time and time again, start building you discipline without it you will miss many opportunities. This can start in little actions, when you decided to go on a run and then attempt to talk yourself out of it Do it anyway Another example when your tired and don't feel like reading that book don't turn on the T.V. and zone out pick up that book! The best part about this is the more you commit to these disciplines the more you will hardwire your brain to perform these tasks and the easier it becomes, soon you will enjoy sitting back reading a book and learning just as much as you have vegging out in front of the T.V. in the past. Your brain can be an amazing asset but that all depends on how you choose to wire it!
