"How to take iron-fisted control of your life - and leave your job behind."
Great headline, eh?
If you don't capture your prospect's imagination and attention with a great first sentence or headline ... you don't have a prospect.
Always think hard about what your first sentence will be. Your career depends on it.
And now for some examples:
* "How I made a fortune because of a one-hour meeting."
* "Never be embarrassed by your checking account balance again."
* "Attention: If you're afraid to leave your job, but want to earn more, call this number."
* "I almost missed this opportunity - close call."
Remember, first sentences are used by your competition. Everyone is vying for your prospect's money.

Vitamins for the Mind
by Jim Rohn

Kids

How many languages can a child learn? As many as you will take the time to teach them.

Even kids can get started on becoming financially independent. Kids can make profits long before they can legitimately earn wages.

Kids ought to have two bicycles: one to ride and one to rent.

Kids don't lack capacity, only teachers.

I teach kids how to be rich by the time they are age 40, 35 if they are extra bright. Most kids think they are extra bright, so they go for 35.

What should a child do with a dollar? Here's one philosophy: It's only a child and it's only a dollar, so what difference does it make? Wow, what a philosophy! Where do you suppose everything starts for the future? Here's where it starts: It starts with a child and a dollar. You say, "Well, he's only a child once. Let him spend it all." Well, when would you hope that would stop? When he's fifty and broke like you?

If kids clearly see the promise, they will gladly pay the price.

Check out these three great prospecting questions.
Just a simple question or sentence can totally change your prospect's outlook toward you and your business. Try asking one of these questions:
===> Do you think a part-time job would be better for you than a part-time business?
(Most prospects will immediately attach themselves to wanting a part-time business. Hey, working a part-time job until age 65 doesn't sound like much fun.)
===> Starting our own business would cost a lot of money ... and is pretty risky, isn't it?
(Most prospects will agree and say that's why they haven't tried. Now they are open-minded toward a business if it doesn't require a lot of money and is not risky.)
===> Would a $500 a month raise make a big difference?
(Gee, that's $6,000 a year. That would pay for a really nice vacation, a better car, an occasional weekend getaway, or the minimum payment on the VISA card ... This question is rejection-free. Even if the prospect says, "No" - that means the prospect might be looking for bigger money. And you know your prospect can't get this kind of raise from his or her boss.)

Some very good questions from Tom Big Al, ah just love it.
