Be-Do-Have: A Formula For Success

  We've all heard of the Lotto winner who, within 3 years, lost the several million he won. People scratch their heads and ask - how can that happen?  It's really quite simple.  He didn't become the "millionaire". In order to HAVE and keep a million dollars, you have to develop the beliefs and values of a millionaire.
 
In order to HAVE anything in life we all recognize that we have to DO something to achieve it. If you want wealth you must invest. If you want love you must first give it. If you want respect you must earn it. No matter what you want, you need to DO in order to HAVE.
 
But DOing is not the only thing you need to change in order to HAVE. You must BEcome the person who would have the things or persona that you desire. You must develop the identity, beliefs and values of the person who has those things. In fact it is said that you will earn + or - 10% of the earnings of the three people you associate with the most. Why? Because, you develop the values and beliefs of these people.
 
Let's talk a bit about BEcoming. Everyone has an identity that they developed, usually at a very young age. That identity has values and beliefs that can be limiting. Perhaps you believe that customers are always looking for a discount. If you do, you will likely be inclined to give discounts and likely to attract that sort of customer to your business because of your belief.
 
In order to HAVE amazing customers, you must develop your business into one that will attract amazing customers. What is an amazing customer? Well that's specific to your business. Only you can define for yourself the characteristics of your amazing customer. Perhaps it includes a customer who always pays cash - up front. Maybe one who sends you lots of referrals. You must identify who your amazing customers are and what these customers want. You must know how these customers shop. 
 
Changing the way you think and behave as a business owner doesn't always happen overnight.  To make it easier and faster, tell someone you respect and trust what you are trying to do.  But don't pick someone that is too nice.  You want them to tell you if you are "walking the talk".

If you are the person or business that attracts the people in your ideal target market then they will come. Just remember you must Be as well as Do in order to Have
