EP50: Helping others - by any means possible!

<p>When was the last time you saw the movie “Jerry Maguire”?</p> <p>It was hilarious right?</p> <p>As Jerry [played by Tom Cruise] struggled to get his career on track, we could feel his pain as he was pulled through the mud by his last pro football, on-again, off-again client, played by Cuba Gooding Jr.</p> <p>Sure the “Show me the money” bit was funny, but I’m thinking about the “Help me, help you” bit.</p> <p>Though it was funny then, it has a real meaning today. One we can use to our advantage.</p> <p>Helping others during times of distress, or frustration…</p> <p>…is what will show what kind of person and marketer you are.</p> <p>It will help others get pulled towards you, your business, and your service or product.</p> <p>So, while we can all laugh about Jerry wanting to help others, with the motivation more on saving his own skin, than the athlete’s, I hope you can see that the help we should be offering is supposed to be different.</p> <p>As it should be.</p> <p>As marketers, WE get to choose who WE want to help. I’m sure some OTHER marketers choose, like Jerry did, for selfish motives. To benefit financially.</p> <p>For sure WE do need to succeed in business.</p> <p>But…</p> <p>That does not mean our motivation to help another person, or group of people should be ALL about the money.</p> <p>I mean, if you still want to get up each day, and feel good about looking yourself in the mirror, there should be more to it.</p> <p>Brian Tracy, famously said, Successful people, are always looking for opportunities to help others. Unsuccessful people are always asking, “What’s in it for me?”</p> <p>So, don’t be unsuccessful.</p> <p>Listen in for all the juicy details.</p> <p>========================</p> <p>If you think you know of some improvements that could be made, let me know.
