Stay tuned over the next ten days and I will share ten important ideas that can help you increase your business and grow your profits in 2009.
Day 7 -
PROSPECT FOR NEW OPPORTUNITIES IN 2009
In order to achieve more success and earn more money you must seek out new opportunities and then grab them! You’ll need to do some prospecting to find opportunities that will help you succeed. Prospecting comes in many forms, you can do it small scale and seek out clients who need your services or products on forums. Or, you can go large scale where you look to land JV’s (Joint Ventures) or invest in a business, find new niches, etc.
Prospecting can land you one extra deal this year or it can land you 1,000 extra deals! Even if you only successfully obtain one client or make only one sale as a direct result of extra ‘prospecting,’ you will enhance your business and increase your profits.
Be brave, go out and see what’s hot — and what people want. It’s very easy to stick with what you already know and are routinely doing on a daily or weekly basis. But, if you take the time to prospect a little bit and pretend like it’s the beginning of your online career again, you’ll start to see fresh opportunities and money making ideas everywhere. And you will certainly find an opportunity (or two) that will lead to a long term income and profit stream.
Remember, you’re working on growing your business. Even though prospecting for clients should be continuous, it may not be feasible to prospect for new business ideas and ventures continuously. However, once every year or two it’s good to take a look at your business, update, upgrade, and take your business to the next level, no matter how small or large your business is.
Prospect for new clients and prospect for new business ideas — Prospect.

So true, there are always new opportunities opening up, especially in the online sectors. I find one of the best ways to ‘prospect’ is to attend shows and functions related to your business in order to stay on top of trends and new products, and search online to see what consumers are buzzing about, since being first makes all the difference in profitability.
