Notably, persons will have similar talent, but each talent comes with a unique ability. If you do not discover the uniqueness that comes with your talent, you might never truly stand out from the others that are in the exact field as you are. If you cannot produce extraordinary results, then your advancement will be either mediocre or below average. Mediocre and below average results will never give you the title of a successful person.

Apart from finding what hidden treasures of skills you have buried within, is knowing, how and when you are at your best. Some people will tell you that they think better having a hot cup of coffee. Some after they take a shower or go for a jog, then ideas will start to overflow in their head. Think back to the time you were able to unravel your best idea. What were you doing at the time that happened and where were you when that happened?

LESSON 1: AN INTRODUCTION TO EMAIL MARKETING

If you run a business, a website or a blog and you want to increase your audience as well as increasing engagement, then the single most effective way to do that is with email marketing.

If you listen to pretty much any top marketer, then they will almost always tell you this. They will almost always say that the most important aspect of their marketing – the thing that led to their success – was email.

And there?s a very good reason for this. Or ten…

Email marketing allows you to reach your audience in an incredibly direct manner. Unlike other forms of marketing, you?ll actually be able to reach your audience directly in their inboxes without having to go through any third party. That means that you?re not reliant on a platform like Facebook or Twitter, or at the mercy of potential changes to policies that could render your messages unheard. It wasn?t that long ago that Facebook made the decision to change its system so that only a small percentage of posts from pages got through to followers.

With email, your messages are going directly to the users. That means that nothing can prevent you from reaching them and you know that 100% of everything you send is going to reach the recipient.

It means that you don?t lose your long list of subscribers if Facebook decides to inexplicably delete your account (this happens – in fact it has happened to me) or if they decide to delete their accounts.

This is a relationship that is directly between you and the subscribers. But that?s only touching the very surface of what makes Email marketing so useful.

As you?ll see in the rest of this report, there are many, many more advantages to email marketing and tons more reasons why you should invest more time and more energy into email marketing.

By the end of this report, you?ll understand precisely what makes email marketing important and you?ll hopefully be hyped to dive into the rest of the course to find out how you can make it work for you.

First, a Few Stats

First, let?s take a look at a few stats which perfectly illustrate just how impressive email marketing really is and how it is transforming business…

For example, did you know the following figures?

- Email marketing has a ROI of 4,300%
- 91% of consumers check email daily (most people check it much more!)
- When surveyed, companies say that email marketing is more profitable than: PPC, content marketing, display advertising, mobile ads, social media marketing, direct marketing, affiliate marketing…
- 66% of US consumers aged over 15 have made a purchase as a direct result of an email campaign
- 1/3rd of consumers say that they open their emails on the basis of the subject line alone

So, what does all this tell us? Why are these stats the way they are?

Firstly, let?s consider the ROI. The reason that ROI is so high for email marketing is actually because the cost of entry is so low. ROI is „return on investment?, the amount of money you make versus the amount of money you spent in order to make it!

INTRODUCTION

Most of us will never have seen ourselves as being leaders. For the majority of us, the thought of taking charge of an office will not so long ago have seemed completely absurd. That’s a job for high fliers, for people-people… for born leaders!

But despite any initial apprehension, leadership roles are something that many of us will have thrust upon us against any protestations. In the vast majority of industries, progress and a hike in salary means taking on more responsibility. And that responsibility will very often take the form of some kind of leadership role. You can only progress so far before you start having staff under you and the further you then climb the ladder, the more people will start looking to you for direction and the more people you’ll be responsible for.

That then leaves two choices: shy away from the pressure and the responsibility and live on the modest salary that comes from that, or learn to suck it up and take charge.

And guess what? When you do accept that mantle and become the leader that you can be, you’ll find that it’s one of the best experiences imaginable for your personal growth and development. You’ll become more confident, more able and more authoritative and it can completely transform the way you see yourself.

So now the big question: can you learn leadership? Are some people simply destined to be good leaders while others will forever be disrespected and awkward in the role?

Well, while some people are ‘born with it’ (as Maybeline would have us believe), it certainly is possible to learn the skills needed for leadership if you don’t already have them. And as it happens, that’s exactly what this book is about to do for you!

So read on and prepare to learn the ins and outs of leadership and what it takes to inspire a team and get the very most out of them.

What you will learn…

• What makes a great leader
• Should you be feared or liked?
• How to become instantly more charismatic
• How to use ancient techniques like ‘transformismo’ to control your team
• How to understand the differences of your team and get them to work for you
• How to handle a crisis
• How to cultivate inspiration
• How to give your staff motivation How to create new teams

And more!

And once you’ve honed these skills, you’ll find that they become powerful not only in the office and the boardroom but also in all other walks of life. Prepare to become a more inspiring friend and a more effective parent!

CHAPTER 1:

WHAT MAKES A GREAT LEADER?

Perhaps the best place to start is by asking what makes a great leader. What is the end goal here? What are you aspiring to?

When we think of great leaders, we will often think of inspiring superhero types. People with heroic, puffed out chests, powerful voices and a cool air of confidence. They always know the right thing to do and they have the uncanny ability to reel off motivational and inspiration speeches at the drop of a hat. No one ever defies these great leaders because they don’t want to – the leaders are so just and wise that they have no need. But if anyone ever did cross them, they would be immediately be put to rights with a stern but fair judgement and unquestionable authority. These are the leaders that make us feel safe, that steer our ships through uncharted waters and that make us feel like we can do anything as a team. These are the heroes taken straight out of the Saturday morning cartoons you probably watched as a child (which, by the way, are based very much on our Father and Mother archetypes).

Now the chances are that you probably have known a few people like this in your lifetime. Perhaps you have a parent who really is that wise, all-knowing figure. Or maybe you had a teacher that inspired you when you were younger and helped you to make the career choices that led you to where you are today.

You might also know of some famous real-life characters who fit this bill. Perhaps you know of a few celebrities who you look up to, or a few historical characters even.
