										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On the 28th Feb, TheLocco team attended the skill-up mentorship program. This timely &amp; gleeful networking event has come at a time when players in the ‘events industry’ are recovering from the effects of covid 19 pandemic. The program was organized by Kent Events at Westlands Banquet Centre. Notably, the moderators and guests were sharply dressed to impress.</p>
<p>Here is a good place to <a href="https://thelocco.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shop for Men&#8217;s Suits</a> &amp; <a href="https://thelocco.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Menswear in Kenya</a></p>
<h2>The Skill Up Mentorship Programme</h2>
<p>The theme for the skill mentorship program was to create an avenue for the MCs, event organizers, entertainers, and entrepreneurs to meet, talk, learn, and network. This event attracted crème de la crème of the entertainment industry in Kenya, who explored various aspects of scaling and skilling up. Talk of the talented emcees such as MC Headboy, MC Gitone Mike, Chris Kirwa, MC Kamal, MC Himaz, and more.</p>

<p>Emceeing cuts across a broad range of events, including state functions, corporate events, social events such as weddings &amp; parties, roadshows, and TV hosting. Emceeing is a vibrant and highly competitive sector in the entertainment industry. The art of emceeing the trade demands passion, talent, energy, love for people, and experience to capture people&#8217;s attention.</p>
<p>The moderator was well-informed with the hosts and adequately grilled them on relevant topics. The hosts shared how COVID-19 pandemic halted the events-organizing industry. It disrupted the source of income for many but also opened other opportunities, such as online event hosting. This shows the importance of being creative and adaptive to change. Business acumen and professionalism were highlighted as key to longevity in the industry. For instance, the top emcees who attract corporate events can command handsome pay and are highly professional.</p>
<p>Building a good rapport with other players in the event-organizing sector is vital for growth. Social media has enormously revolutionized the industry, and it is a great place to market oneself freely. This program brought together multitalented media personalities with a wealth of experience and knowledge to teach the upcoming MCs.</p>
<p>The program was also graced by leading emcees in state ministries and county forums at government-level functions. This talk exposed us to opportunities to work with government agencies and the rest of the corporate world. It was particularly entertaining to listen and learn from the event that pitched celebrated club, roadshow, and reggae MCeeing gurus such as Mc Sheriff, Mc Gogo, and Mc NattyBoy.</p>
<h2>Thelocco Men Suits Brand</h2>
<p>TheLocco a men&#8217;s wear apparel brand, was honored to grace the event. Speaking at the event, Thelocco Men’s Suits director highlighted the importance of personal branding and image in having a successful career in the events industry.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It has been almost 3 decades now since the advent of disruptive technology called the Internet. With it <a href="https://thelocco.com/magazine/free-getting-started-make-money-online-free/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">has come so many opportunities</a> for the people that embrace it. On the other hand, it has closed doors for those that reject/resist it at an equal measure. Some more disappointing news is that we are <a href="https://thelocco.com/magazine/dont-let-schooling-get-way-childs-education/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">preparing our children for jobs that will no longer exist</a>. A great place to start acquiring the relevant skills is to learn how to make money on social media.</p>
<h2>Make Money on Social Media</h2>
<p>You probably spend a considerable amount of your time on social media each day. Maybe viewing videos on YouTube, posting selfies on Instagram, or checking in with friends on Twitter and Facebook.</p>
<p>I bet by now, you know your way around most of the social networks. You might as well have amassed quite a following while at it. Why not start cashing in on the great content and pictures you post every day.</p>
<p>Depending on how you play your cards, it is possible to make money with social media regardless of whether you have 1000 followers or 100,000 followers.</p>

<h2>1. Become an Influencer</h2>
<p>Being an influencer means building a reputation online by sharing great content that captures attention. You need to become a trendsetter, tastemaker, or a trusted expert whose opinions on a particular subject is respected.</p>
<p>Once you have established such a reputation, many brands will be willing to partner with you. All you need to do is to publish their content on your timeline for a fee.</p>
<p>Experts estimate that influencers with about 100,000 followers can make $1,000 per post. However, other numerous factors determine how much an influencer earns.</p>
<h2>2. Become an Affiliate Marketer</h2>
<p>Affiliate marketing entails going beyond generating awareness, but also <a href="https://thelocco.com/magazine/become-a-top-seller-what-great-salespeople-do/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">making sales for the partner brand</a> for a commission. All you need to do is to share a trackable link on your blog or social media accounts.</p>
<p>The clicks or the sales made through your link will translate into commissions for you. A great place to start would be signing up with ClickBank and Amazon Associate.</p>
<h2>3. Earn from Your Selfies</h2>
<p>Another great way to make money on social media is to sell your photos. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thelocco_magazine/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Instagram</a> is the best way to achieve this because its primary purpose is sharing pictures.</p>
<p>Whether you are a professional or an armature photographer, you can sell your photos directly on Instagram or other sites. Such websites include <strong>Community Foap</strong> and <strong>Twenty20</strong>.</p>
<h2>4. Learn how to make money on YouTube</h2>
<p>All you need to do is to start a YouTube channel to earn via Adsense <span style="font-size: 16px;">(<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">ads displayed on your videos</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">). However, your videos need to attract at least 10,000 public views, to be eligible for the YouTube Partner Program. </span></span></p>
<h2>5. Sell your products</h2>
<p>Now that you have a sizeable loyal following, you are in an excellent position to sell your products. These could be digital items and physical products and services as well. This way, you not only get good revenue but there is also the potential to grow into a <a href="https://thelocco.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fully-fledged brand</a>.</p>
<p>There are numerous other ways you can make money on social media. However, before you can start making coin, you first need to grow a large and engaged audience. If you ask around, this is usually not a cakewalk. Just like any other business, you will need to invest your time, money, and a generous serving of creativity.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is amusing how people are not willing to spend 4-5 years building a business, while they spend 40 years miserable and broke in a dead end job. With that said, having a job is a privilege. However, if you are not growing, the least you can do is find another or figure out how to succeed in business.</p>
<p>Read: <a class="latest_posts2-title-link" href="https://thelocco.com/magazine/how-to-change-your-mind-to-achieve-time-and-financial-freedom/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">How To Change Your Mind To Achieve Time and Financial Freedom</a></p>

<p>Before you rush tell your boss to shove it up their ***, you probably need to come in terms with the realities of the business world. Unless you are among the lucky few, who are inheriting a family business empire, you have to work from the ground up.</p>
<h2>How To Succeed in Business: Living on a Tight Budget!</h2>
<p>Congratulations, for being among the few who have the guts, act on your <a href="https://thelocco.com/magazine/become-young-and-rich/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">one out of a million investment ideas</a>. There is a small problem though; you are working with a tight budget if not empty pockets.</p>
<p>In fact, the only thing you have is time, wanting skills and the hunger succeed in business. What if I told you that the hunger for success can become one of your greatest assets?</p>
<h2>The power of Broke</h2>
<p>As strange as this may sound, being broke can turn out to be your greatest competitive advantage depending on how you play your cards. Here’s why?</p>
<p>Being broke means that you are desperate and have got nothing to lose. This also means you’ve got everything to gain. Here’s a fact, <em>if you have to succeed to survive, succeed you will</em>.</p>
<p>Related: <a class="latest_posts2-title-link" href="https://thelocco.com/magazine/become-a-top-seller-what-great-salespeople-do/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Become a Top Seller: What Great Salespeople Do</a></p>
<p>If you don’t have any money to throw at the problem, you are forced to think creatively and work twice as hard. You also spend every second of your time relentlessly applying the last ounce of your passion on your idea.</p>
<p>You try to leverage any available resource. More often than not, determination and ingenuity are all that is needed to succeed in business.</p>
<h2>This is a Survival Plan</h2>
<p>Most people want to know how to succeed in business without really trying. Understand that having money and other resources can get you some great competitive advantages when starting out. If it turns out you don’t have such resources, it is time to turn this situation into your silver lining.</p>
<p>Though a business plan is important, what you really need is a survival plan. The mistake most people make when starting a business with limited capital is they want to make huge profits too soon and too fast. When these profits don’t come as fast as they want to (<em>they usually don’t</em>), they despair or quit.</p>
<p>Read: <a class="latest_posts2-title-link" href="https://thelocco.com/magazine/6-deadly-mistakes-cause-young-entrepreneurs-fail/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">6 Deadly Mistakes That Cause Young Entrepreneurs To Fail</a></p>
<p>What you should be focusing on is making enough to keep the lights on as you grow your idea. When working with minimal resources, you have to work harder, smarter and longer than everyone else. The extra legwork will not only enhance your skills but also enable you to spot opportunities to exploit before others catch on.</p>
<h2>You Will Need Help To Succeed In Business</h2>
<p>Help does not necessarily mean getting funding from investors.  You will make a lot of mistakes in the startup phase. So, the bigger your capital, the more expensive your mistakes will be.</p>
<p>The beauty of the power of being broke is that it allows you to experiment because you can afford to make mistakes. Moreover, you will not have investors breathing down your neck to grow their money fast.</p>
<p>Even if you succeed, you are likely to need more money to fund the growth. Which mean having to find more investors. In the long run, you will have other people running your business or even end up being locked out.</p>
<p>Help, in this case, means mentors. Those that have succeeded and failed in your line of business. Once you have armed yourself with the right information, pursue your goals with burning passion. Avoid the mistakes you can, and try to recover fast from the inevitable ones. They are often meant to set you on the right path.</p>
<h2>Look At The Bigger Picture</h2>
<p>No matter how many times you fail, get back up fast, with a different better strategy. Continuous change and improvement has to be part of your DNA. An opportunity is seeing a problem, and then having a solution which includes your products or services. As such be willing to set out in your own unique path while you remain authentic.</p>
<p>You have to invest in yourself and believe in yourself, your service or product, else nobody will. To help you achieve this you need to look at the big picture. Ask yourself these questions: &#8216;<em>Where do I want to be or your brand to be in 10 years time</em>?&#8217; How would ‘<em>the successful me</em>’ be doing the things I am currently doing? Then do exactly that.</p>
<h2>Using The Power of Broke To Succeed in Business</h2>
<p>The power of broke can work for anyone in almost every kind of situation. However, don’t be mistaken to think that it is an automatic advantage. It entails making conscious decisions and actions by leveraging on the will that comes during desperate times. Tapping on that need to survive while you relentlessly try new ideas and approaches is what will bring you success in business.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The journey to being a self made millionaire is riddled with thorns, sweat, tears, heartbreaks, and lessons that threaten to lock you out of the Millionaires Club. However, would you believe me if I told you that there is a simple investment plan that can be mastered by even a 10-year-old, which calls only for a few minutes of your time each year and will make you a millionaire? There’s a catch though, this plan will require you to get rich slowly.</p>
<p>So here’s the strategy according to William J Berstin; at age of 25, start saving 15% of your income into three different mutual accounts. Such as government bonds, a 401(k) plan, or a fixed deposit account or all three. This way, by the time you retire, you will have outperformed 90% of active investors thanks to your savings and interest accrued.</p>
<p>Related: <a class="latest_posts-title-link" href="https://thelocco.com/magazine/become-young-and-rich/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">5 Sure-Fire Ways To Become Young And Rich</a></p>
<p>A Must Read: <a href="https://thelocco.com/magazine/6-deadly-mistakes-cause-young-entrepreneurs-fail/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">6 Deadly Mistakes That Cause Young Entrepreneurs To Fail</a></p>
<p>However, there are little foxes that will always lead you astray to never actualize such a plan. Thus, for you to have a shot at joining the millionaires club, you must avoid these little yet deadly mistakes.</p>
<h2>Cannot Maintain The Discipline To Get Rich Slowly</h2>
<p>In the previous article, we had talked about <a href="https://thelocco.com/magazine/become-young-and-rich/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">how to be a millionaire while young</a> enough to enjoy your dough? Trust me it is possible to be young and rich.</p>
<p>More often than not, wealth comes from the discipline of consistently saving and investing. Just like dieting, though it sounds simple, it is never easy.</p>
<p>You get fat because you choose to keep eating pizza and fries over fresh fruits and vegetables. Or because you slam yourself on the couch to catch a movie instead of going for a jog or the gym.</p>
<p>Investing and dieting are similar in the sense that, though you know what you need to do to hit your goals, discipline is always your stumbling block.<br />
See: <a href="https://thelocco.com/magazine/how-to-stop-being-a-couch-potato/" target="_blank" rel="bookmark noopener">How To Stop Being a Couch Potato</a></p>
<h2>You Spend A Little Too Much Money</h2>
<p>Are you the type that goes for the trendiest clothes, Cancun vacations, buys the newest iPhone, or the fanciest car? Forget about those huge expenditures. In this day and age, little innocent expenditures may put a huge dent in your saving margin.</p>
<ul>
<li> A couple of unnecessary restaurant meals</li>
<li>Shopping in upscale shops</li>
<li>Renting a little too tony apartment</li>
<li>An excessive cable package</li>
<li>A too-rich private school for your kid</li>
</ul>
<p>You actually don’t need some of these things and at times you are better off without them. As such, to get a step closer to join the Millionaires club you need to monitor your expenditure.</p>
<h2>You Are Dumb! Dumb! About Personal Finance</h2>
<p>It’s not your fault though; I know they don’t teach this at school. <em>When you save and invest without having the grips of finance basics, it is like flying without understanding the basics of engine systems, aerodynamics, meteorology…a crash is bound to occur. </em></p>
<p>You do not need an MBA to master the art and science of finance. It is quite easy if you know where to look, and I happened to know just where <a href="https://thelocco.com/magazine/category/business/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.</p>
<h2>Failure To Understand The Markets</h2>
<p>A new investor is often frustrated and disoriented by the turbulence in the market and the frequent economic crisis that cause it. A pilot not only needs to know how to fly a plane but also reads aircraft accident reports to avoid problems that may cause an accident.</p>
<p>Thus as an investor, you too need to understand the market so that you never get caught off guard. The good news is that there is nothing new under the sun when it comes to investments.</p>
<p>The only way is to achieve this is, to look at the history of the industry you are investing in and then plan and prepare for every scenario. With time, investing will start feeling like a movie you’ve already watched.</p>
<p>The best thing about this is that you will know every twist and turn, and even how it ends. This is the ultimate way to get Get Rich Slowly but sure.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Who wants to be a millionaire while you are still young and have the energy and time to enjoy your wealth? Who else wants indulge in globe-trotting, attend coveted events, build their dream home, run a successful charity…?</p>
<p>Trust me these are the easy questions which everyone has the right answer to – <strong>a resounding YES</strong>!</p>
<p>Now here comes the hard part – asking the right questions. A great one would be how to be a millionaire or rather how do you achieve all that? For the rest of us that are not expecting to inherit a fortune from our kins, you have to become a self made millionaire.</p>
<p>Related: <a class="latest_posts2-title-link" href="https://thelocco.com/magazine/6-deadly-mistakes-cause-young-entrepreneurs-fail/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">6 Deadly Mistakes That Cause Young Entrepreneurs To Fail</a></p>
<p>Mark you this does not include grand theft, selling a good time, drug trafficking, cybercrime or any other illegal thing. For those serious about becoming young and rich or a self made millionaire, here are some hands-on pointers that will set you in the right direction.</p>
<h2><span style="font-size: 30px; color: #333399;">1. </span>Avoid The Self Proclaimed Financial Gurus</h2>
<p>These deluded financial experts whose major goal is to make money for themselves often mislead a lot of people through their impractical advice. Some focus on <strong>saving!</strong> <strong>saving!</strong> and <strong>saving!</strong> which includes even cutting back on your meals.</p>
<p>Yes, saving is an important ingredient for those who want to be young and rich. In fact, you first need to prove to yourself that you can save enough, and then invest without losing it. However, do not let anyone fool you that saving a few coins every day from your lunch will make you a fortune.</p>
<p>Of course, you need to spend less than you earn for you get yourself out of your financial mess. But you already know that right? So the best answer to ‘<em>how to be a millionaire</em>’ is to focus on increasing your income above everything else.</p>
<h2><span style="color: #333399; font-size: 30px;">2.</span> Have The Right Mind Set</h2>
<p>At the start of this article, I asked, ‘<em>who wants to be a millionaire</em>’ and I bet everyone subconsciously responded affirmatively. What sets self made millionaires apart from rest of the crowd is how they perceive finances and time. This is according to Brian Tracy the author of ‘<a href="https://www.success.com/article/brian-tracy-million-dollar-habits" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Million Dollar Habits</a>.’</p>
<p>Read This: <a class="latest_posts2-title-link" href="https://thelocco.com/magazine/how-to-change-your-mind-to-achieve-time-and-financial-freedom/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">How To Change Your Mind To Achieve Time and Financial Freedom</a></p>
<p>We were naturally wired to focus and respond to our immediate world; to instantly respond to the danger of larking tigers and hisses of the snakes to save our lives. Similarly, we are short-sighted when it comes to our finances and investments.</p>
<p>We focus more on the short-term risks and ways to get rich quick at the expense of long-term sustainable financial decisions. What separates self made millionaires from the rest is their ability to maintain strict long-term discipline in saving and investing.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>You will have to start thinking like a millionaire before you are one, to become one.</em></p></blockquote>
<h2><span style="color: #333399; font-size: 30px;">3.</span> Get Multiple Streams of Income</h2>
<p>I know to a youngie who can barely maintain a single steady income source, this might seem like a tall order. However, it is not that difficult. The secret is to have multiple connected income streams flowing.</p>
<p><strong>Here’s an example</strong></p>
<blockquote><p><em>I am a professional writer. Besides writing content for this <a href="https://thelocco.com/magazine" target="_blank" rel="noopener">magazine</a>, I also earn as <strong>a</strong> </em><a href="https://thelocco.com/magazine/else-wants-killer-content-traffic/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>freelance</strong></a><em><a href="https://thelocco.com/magazine/else-wants-killer-content-traffic/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong> writer</strong> </a>from clients that need </em>top notch<em> content. I also charge top dollar to those that need <a href="https://thelocco.com/magazine/else-wants-killer-content-traffic/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">marketing oriented pieces</a> such as sales pitch or white papers. I also earn, from advertisements on <a href="https://thelocco.com/magazine/author/loccoadmin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">my blog posts</a>.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>How many related income streams do you count? FOUR! For just being a writer/marketer.</p>
<p><strong>Here’s a simpler example</strong></p>
<blockquote><p><em>In an organization I had previously worked, we had an entrepreneurial Tea Girl. The organization only offered us some morning and afternoon teas without an accompaniment.</em></p>
<p><em>So she started selling us some homemade snacks during tea time, which sold like &#8216;hotcakes&#8217; literally. Later on, she started offering lunch at a slightly discounted price than that being offered at the city restaurants. Soon, even our bosses were complimenting her on her culinary skills.</em></p>
<p><em>One day, I had a chat with her about how much she was making from her side-hustle.</em></p>
<p><em>Her response left me in shock; ‘<strong>More than her monthly salary!</strong>’</em></p></blockquote>
<p>The secret is to find ways to add income from your current job. Avoid sourcing extra income from unrelated careers because you will often end up having two flows that do nothing.</p>
<h2><span style="color: #333399; font-size: 30px;">4. </span>The Young and Rich Invest in Themselves</h2>
<p>A common thing you will notice about those that are young and rich is that they are good at what they do. In fact, that is an under-sell; they are excellent at what they do.</p>
<p>These are talented artists/athletes, effective young leaders, serial entrepreneurs, talented writers, effective professionals, and great sellers just to name a few.</p>
<p>A Must Read: <a class="latest_posts2-title-link" href="https://thelocco.com/magazine/become-a-top-seller-what-great-salespeople-do/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Become a Top Seller: What Great Salespeople Do</a></p>
<p>This is because they have invested in themselves, building on their talent, continually sharpening their skill and getting that extra education. There is nothing average about these people. Most of all, they are not mean, they help themselves so that they can help others.</p>
<h2>5. Forget Security, Focus On Opportunity</h2>
<p>Though this is a bit of a cliché, for you to get rich, you have to make a lot of money. The young and rich are able to position themselves in a job that has opportunities for growth. Focusing only on security makes you rigid.</p>
<p>A lot of young people often settle for a secure job with minimal chances of growth against losing this security in pursuit of a career with greater opportunities for growth. That’s how you get stuck in the rat race.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With juicy gossip cropping up almost every other second, it’s easy to let important matters fall by the wayside. As such, instead of writing about ‘<a href="https://thelocco.com/magazine/office-wife-greatest-threat-marriage/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>how to eat booty like groceries</em></a>,’ I have decided to share some deep insight only known by top business entrepreneurs.</p>
<p>‘<em>Why do young people often fail in Business?</em>’ This is a question asked by many, yet only a few get to figure it out.</p>
<p>For young entrepreneurs, creating and implementing <a href="https://thelocco.com/magazine/category/business/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">new entrepreneur ideas</a> often calls for a blend of cunning ingenuity, luck, and lots of guts. These are accompanied by a huge serving of anxiety and fear; should the business go south leaving you high and dry, if not in tears/crisis.</p>
<p>Related: <a href="https://thelocco.com/magazine/become-a-top-seller-what-great-salespeople-do/" rel="bookmark">Become a Top Seller: What Great Salespeople Do</a></p>

<p>However, this need not necessarily be the case. By learning the most common mistakes made by young entrepreneurs especially when starting out, you will effectively avoid the following business pitfalls.</p>
<h2>1. Capital! Capital! I Need Capital!</h2>
<p>Yes, this is the song that everyone sings when planning to start or expand their business. Unfortunately, it is also one of the greatest reasons why businesses fail before they even start. A common mistake that most young entrepreneurs make is to assume that capital entirely refers to the business start up costs in terms of liquid cash.</p>
<p>Though money is part of the equation, there is more to what capital entails. Capital refers to assets or resources needed to leverage the growth of your business. Such resources include <strong>labor</strong>, <strong>skill</strong>, <strong>time</strong>, <strong>money</strong>, <strong>networks</strong>, storage facilities, land, production machinery and other physical assets.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a way to start a business with no capital: <a href="https://thelocco.com/magazine/free-getting-started-make-money-online-free/" target="_blank" rel="bookmark noopener">Free! Getting Started To Make Money Online Free.</a></p>
<p>The good news is that even the top business entrepreneurs do not have all the capital they need to succeed. Greater news is that everyone has got some kind of capital with them.</p>
<p>The only thing you have to do is to make the best use of the little capital you have, whether it is skill or time. Once you have started your business, you can then focus on continually expanding your capital base for your business to grow.</p>
<h2>2. You Peg Your Business On Luck</h2>
<p>It is common to hear people say that so and so got lucky that his/her business is thriving. Successful young entrepreneurs understand that business success is not as a result of luck or magic. It&#8217;s math.</p>
<p>It’s as a result of well-calculated effort and strategy. This includes investing in the right industry or niche, offering quality products/services and customer service, smart marketing, originality among other things. Luck only finds the prepared ones.</p>
<h2>3. The Need To Get Rich Quick</h2>
<p>This is the greatest tragedy that plagues most young entrepreneurs out there. They want to make millions within the first or second year of their business. I am not saying this is not possible though.</p>
<p>The problem with this mentality is that when you don’t get the desired results fast enough, you tend to get frustrated and eventually quit. This cycle may go on in the next five or <a href="https://thelocco.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">10 new entrepreneur ideas</a> you try to venture into.</p>
<p>Related: <a href="https://thelocco.com/magazine/how-to-change-your-mind-to-achieve-time-and-financial-freedom/" target="_blank" rel="bookmark noopener">How To Change Your Mind To Achieve Time and Financial Freedom</a></p>
<p>Eventually, you will assume that entrepreneurship is not for you. This brings us to the next pitfall.</p>
<h2>4. Lack Of Persistence.</h2>
<p>Successful young entrepreneurs understand that persistence is one of the most critical elements that will guarantee success. To cultivate persistence, forget about getting rich quick.</p>
<p>Focus on the value you are creating for your clients, skills you are learning in the process and the success you will achieve in the long run. In most instances, business growth is a slow but gradual process.</p>
<p>For you to become a <a href="https://thelocco.com/magazine/else-wants-killer-content-traffic/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">top business entrepreneur</a> patience and persistence is a virtue you will have to learn.</p>
<h2>5. All Talk But No Action.</h2>
<p>Even the best of us are guilty of this. We tend to talk about the great ideas we are about to implement, but never act on them. Of course, you will always find excuses not to actualize them.</p>

<h2>6. Failure To Consult Top Business Entrepreneurs</h2>
<p>When starting out, you need a lot of hand-holding to avoid making fatal mistakes. The only way to achieve this is by consulting other successful entrepreneurs. This way, you will learn ways to raise capital by accessing business start up loans, how to reduce business start up costs, assess the viability of your business ideas among other things.</p>
<h2>The Takeaway</h2>
<p>When it comes to entrepreneurship, there is no one-size-fits-all formula. It is all about making your formula work, testing it and then readjusting it to make it work better. This is usually not a piece of cake. However, the more you fail in your venture, the closure to getting it right, as long as you keep adjusting your strategy.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When <a href="https://thelocco.com/magazine/quick-way-start-delivery-service-business-home/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">starting a business</a>, the greatest challenge is not getting the initial capital or hiring the best employees. It is making the first sale and hundreds or thousands to come. Selling is a critical skill that only a few people get to master. I have always desired to become a top seller in various business and personal endeavors.</p>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<p>This fascination has enabled me to open the Pandora&#8217;s box that gives deep insight into the art and <a href="https://thelocco.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the science of selling</a>. Have you ever wondered why companies spend millions and billions of dollars purely on marketing? Some spend up to 60% of their revenue on marketing – those are insane figures.</p>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<p>Related: <strong><a href="https://thelocco.com/magazine/how-to-change-your-mind-to-achieve-time-and-financial-freedom/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Change Your Mindset To Achieve Time and Financial Freedom</a></strong></p>
<div></div>
<div>They spend such a crazy amount of money on marketing because they understand that the success of their business heavily relies on their ability to sell. Unfortunately, most startups and mid-level business do not have such massive amounts to spend on marketing campaigns.</div>
<h2>What Great Sales People Do</h2>
<div>The good news is that this is not the end of the road. In this article, I will share with you <strong>what great salespeople do</strong> to become top sellers without necessarily spending millions. Here&#8217;s a hint: It involves the use of stories to create deep connections with potential customers.</div>
<h2>The Traditional Way of Selling</h2>
<p>The traditional way of selling is focused on the use of logic to convince customers and to develop solutions. In this model, the best solution is the one that offers the most value for money.</p>
<p>Moreover, salespeople were supposed to be superhumans who knew everything and anything. They would rather slit their wrist open than ever admit to not having complete knowledge of what they are selling.</p>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<p>Interesting enough, a lot has changed over the past decade or so, and people no longer buy the superhuman salesperson approach. The dawn of the information age has changed <a href="http://thelocco.com/magazine/make-foolish-decisions-love/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">how people make decisions.</a> Consequently, the influence and persuasion tactics need to change, as well.</p>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<p>According to neuroscientists Ben Zoldan and Michael Bosworth, people no longer make decisions solely based on logic. Emotions play a huge part in their decision making. Thus, the new paradigm focuses on appealing to human emotions to make sales.</p>
<div></div>
<div><strong>The Ideal (New) Sales Approach</strong></div>
<div></div>
<div><em>The most successful salespeople today are compelling storytellers who are not afraid to show their vulnerabilities. </em>They tend to be:</div>
<ul>
<li>Empathetic listeners</li>
<li>Focus on making emotional connections with their clientele</li>
<li>Avoid high-pressure manipulative sales pitches.</li>
</ul>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<p>Outside the corporate world, vulnerability is an efficient tool used to win trust. The new paradigm has now mastered the power vulnerability to gain the trust of new prospects.</p>
<div></div>
<h2>Stories – An Effective Way to Communicate and Break Barriers</h2>
<p>Just as kids love a bedtime story, so do we like an engaging story. When was the last time you said &#8216;No&#8217; to a good story? I bet never.</p>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<p>The benefits of using are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Engaging</li>
<li>Good at building rapport</li>
<li>Break down barriers and generally feel good.</li>
<li>Highly inclusive regardless of age, education, or any other kind of background.</li>
</ul>
<div></div>
<div>When you tell a story right, you can create connections with almost anyone. However, the story has to be said right.</div>
<p>A good story starts with a balance; then something happens that throws life out of balance, which is restored towards the end of the story.</p>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<p>For instance, when trying to communicate that your organization goes the extra mile to provide excellent services, a good story would go like this.</p>
<div></div>
<h3><em>The Balance: </em></h3>
<div>So last summer business was booming with orders from our clients coming in each day.</div>
<h3><em>Out of balance:</em></h3>
<div>During this time, one of our clients had a major plumbing problem that threatened tranquility at his home. Thus, we had to work around the clock for two weeks to fix the damage.</div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<p>We were barely done with this project when another client reached out to us with a plumbing emergency. There was a small problem, though. The supervisor had allowed the technicians to go on leave to compensate for the extra hours they had put in for the past fortnight.</p>
<h3>Balance restored:</h3>
<p>However, when the technicians got wind that their supervisor problem, they volunteered to cut their leave short to come and deal with the crisis.</p>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<p>This is what I mean when I tell you that we are committed to going the extra mile to serve our clients.</p>
<h2>Using Stories to Become a Top Seller</h2>
<p>The fundamental rule of marketing is to create trust. When selling to a business or individual, there are specific steps that the customer takes before he/she decides to purchase your product or service.</p>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<p>The goal is to walk the customer through each step, to the point where he/she commits to purchase. Unfortunately, no single story can achieve this.</p>
<p>Thus in each step, you need to tell a story that moves the customer through the sales funnel. The primary goal of stories is to create trust by making an emotional connection.</p>
<div></div>
<p>You will need to tell three stories in this process:</p>
<h4><em>1. The Who Am I Story</em></h4>
<div>This story helps the customer know you by describing your journey or rather how you got where you are today.</div>
<div></div>
<h4><em>2. The Who I have Helped Story</em></h4>
<div>This story showcases your abilities indirectly and also tells the customer that it is wise to buy from you.</div>
<h4>3. The last story is who do you Represent</h4>
<div>It helps the clients get familiar with your business or company you represent. This way, the client will be able to create an emotional connection with you, the product, and the company in a nutshell.</div>
<div></div>
<h2><strong>How to Become a Top Seller</strong>: The Wrap Up</h2>
<p>The old paradigm focuses on the use of logic to make sales. These salespeople are excellent problem solvers and smooth presenters. The new model, on the other hand, tells authentic stories about the business, products, or services. Through showing vulnerabilities and use of stories, you are not only able to appeal to the buyer’s emotions but also to create trust and familiarity. This translates to lasting relationships and returning customers.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Free! is a word that makes everyone tick on this planet. Regardless of our financial or social background, if we are offered something for free we will gladly take it. This is definitely a good thing, however if not properly implemented, it can as well be a bad thing especially when it comes to making money online. Most of you by now are already tired of online courses that promise to help you make quick money online or rather get you rich quick with minimal investment in terms time and money.</p>

<h2>The Online Industry of Free</h2>
<p>There currently exists an entire online industry built around the concept of &#8220;<a href="https://thelocco.com/" target="_blank"><strong>free</strong></a>&#8220;. It operates by promising to give you something for free, provided that you give them what they are asking for. These give-and-take transactions initially seems skewed to your benefit; however is this so?</p>
<h2>The what and what not&#8217;s about making money online free</h2>
<blockquote><p>So to the million dollar question is; <span style="color: #003366;">can you make real money online without spending a dime</span>? A direct answer to the above question is, yes, it is.</p></blockquote>
<p>However, before you rush to the internet, to find the quickest and easiest way to make money online free, you need to understand a few things about making money online.</p>
<p>So let’s first sort out <em>what’s true and what’s not about making money online</em>.</p>
<p>• First, as much as we adore the concept of free, is this a realistic approach? Do you expect to make a million from something you got for free?</p>
<p>• Secondly, you often see websites advertising <a href="https://thelocco.com/" target="_blank">expensive houses</a>, yachts, and cars. Did they attain these items overnight? Do they even own these assets in the first place?</p>
<p>• Third, if what they are giving you is free, why do they ask for something first (such as email address, personal details etc.) before they offer you this information? This means that there is a ‘catch’ to everything.</p>
<p>• Forth, evidence indicates that humans have a selfish nature, thus it beats logic when a stranger shares with you how they made their money so easily. I am yet to meet someone who will <a href="https://thelocco.com/magazine/category/business/" target="_blank">show you how to make a million dollars</a> for free.</p>
<p>• Last but not the least, here is some food for thought, if they are showing everyone how to make millions so easily, shouldn’t everyone be a millionaire by now?</p>
<h2>The truth about how to Make Money Online Free</h2>
<p>Being able to start to make money online free can only be a bonus. Truth be told, <a href="https://thelocco.com/magazine/quick-way-start-delivery-service-business-home/" target="_blank">making money online</a> at times can be a daunting task, and when you add achieving this this without any kind of investment, it feels quite unrealistic.</p>
<p>It is possible to find a lot of <a href="https://thelocco.com/magazine/social/" target="_blank">opportunities </a>for free that can make money online fast though in little amounts. For those sold onto the idea of getting rich overnight, they are in for a rude shock.</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color: #003366;"><em>So you have just found out that getting rick quick online without spending any money does not exist. </em></span></p></blockquote>
<p>These programs that promise this will require you to invest a sizable amount of money upfront; exposing you to the risk of getting scammed.</p>
<p><strong>Here is what these websites promising to make you millions overnight will not tell you.</strong></p>
<p>To make a fortune on the internet, it takes a lot of <span style="color: #003366;"><em>hard work, perseverance, determination, and dedication</em></span>. For those who are not scared any of the above four words, then you can get started to <a href="https://thelocco.com/magazine/social/" target="_blank">make money online for free here</a>.</p>
