Gaining mastery in the ever changing world of marketing takes time and innovation.

But still and always will be the main and most important thing in developing a successful business is contacts and influence.

The individuals with the most influential contacts always end up in the top 2-5 percent of any business or profession.

The benchmark number for any business is ten thousand. It takes ten thousand hours of studying to get your PHD in any subject. It takes ten thousand of studying to gain mastery in any sporting endeavor.

In other words to be in the top 2-5 percent of any professional sport regardless of your gifts and talent you would still have to do ten thousand hours of hard and difficult training.

So your goal is to get ten thousand names, phone numbers and email addresses of individuals that you can influence.

just imagine having an email list of over ten thousand individuals before you graduate college. Do you think that after you graduate college your business would fail? Not only would it not fail you would succed beyond your wildest imagine. Some major successful companies do not have a mailing list of ten thousand people.

When you get a thousand influential contacts. You will be well on your way to be an automatic millionaire, but being a millionaire in today's world, with the technology that is available now is not hard.
