Why? How? What?

Simon Sinek
Good morning, this is a great leader we were introduced to last year. We want to use him for the marketing lesson today as we go deeper. We have a few questions:
  • Do you really care about your customers? 
  • Do you know what their needs are? 
  • Do you seek to solve a real issue they currently have? 
  • Do you have a value proposition?


We know you care about your customers. We know that their needs are important and you want to help them with your solution, but the numbers don't lie. If you aren't attracting many customers or your business account has no deposits flowing inward as my favorite mentor Jim Rohn would say, "You have (pause) messed up, you've got the wrong plan." That's alright that's why we're here. We inspire you at
Dswooodard.com to help you aspire to a better path with a preferred action plan.

We help you turn in the right direction with simple easy to understand lessons and tools.
What is your value proposition? Your value proposition is defined by your customers, even the ones you have yet to serve. Your value proposition must answer:

  1.   Who is your target audience?
  2.  What do you do?
  3.   How is it unique?
  4.  Why do they care? What is the key benefit to them, their families or their businesses?

a)      Your answer to these questions must be structured simply and they must come from within your heart.
b)      Make sure you start with your “why,” your real purpose for your business. 

Do not move past this step it is the most important, watch this quick video and come back for the post close.

What Mr. Sinek said is what we know to be the truth. We buy based on how we feel. Customers, members, people in general act on a thing based on how it makes them feel. 

This is not all of the story, that’s why you must tune in with us for the next few weeks of postings on marketing skills.  We want it to be easily digestible. We want you to take action. Why? We desire that you have a firm understanding of what is required to not only become successful and prosperous, but so that you stay that way.

 Remember this is for your generational legacy of wealth. (Proverbs 13:22a, read this) 

 You will know that you have mastered a section when you are able to teach that section to someone else. That is the goal here, we are to learn, take action on what we learn, and then share and teach others what we learn. That is how you bring prosperity to yourself, your families, and all others in your life.
 Don’t worry if they can’t understand what you are teaching them. The time will come when they need the information and it will be readily available to them because you shared it. 

We are moving swiftly to the mid-year point only a couple of days left in May. Time is our most valuable asset. Many squander the blessing of time they have been given. They often reach their golden years and wonder what happened? We have met many of those poor souls and it breaks our heart each and every time. Today is the day to take action and figure out what it is you love doing, focus in and get some sowing going. Time is not on your side. You have a choice in every moment to decide, what is the most important thing I could give my attention to right now?

Don’t be tricked or fooled, your golden years are coming sooner than you think.
Quick story, so we had a conversation with someone dear to us just last week, it went like this,’ hey (your name here) how was your day? Oh, it was good. I went to a family function for my nephew’s retirement party.” Wow, that’s sounds nice.” “It was beautiful, but somethings wrong. What’s wrong? I’m 68 and my nephew is 50, he’s retired and I’m still working, what did I do wrong?” This is a real conversation you need to consider now.

Don’t forget, keep sharing this blog with others, follow us on twitter @1maiose (means beginning anew), share our Facebook page as well, Pinterest, and Google+. Don’t do it for me, do it for you and those you love. That is the whole point. 

To your success,
D.S. Woodard

How to Press Through the Toughest Season

Welcome 2019 winter season. This image is what we must endure for the next part of our journey.  To be successful we can not have fear. We must learn some new things and use new strategies. We must start to keep track of where we are daily. This is a great task. I keep track of what happens in my life most days. The challenge is as you are living your life it's easy to get distracted.  I started 2019 on day one making note of daily financials incoming and outgoing, and goals and things that I had done or accomplished. It was only a few days in that I noticed that I missed a day here and then I missed a day there on keeping track. This month I'm promoting my   journal that has 366 quotes  and space for you to journal your thoughts and ideas. It will help. The link is alive, but you can get it at  DSWoodard365amazon . Focusing daily on what we are actually accomplishing and those things that are getting left undone will help us grow. Watch this...

Be Happy Today Because You Can

Good afternoon,  The joy felt today is enormous. I love how things keep appearing to show you where you are in the universe or how aligned you are with your goals, ideas, or purpose. Learning to read between the lines is such a gift. I read very well, and I speak many languages. Happy is my all- time favorite song. I love Pharrell's Curtis Mayfield smooth sounding voice and his infectious simplistic drum beat and top that off with the fun joy-filled music video and this is me and the way I feel about life.  I love this song and the video is perfect. Thank you, Pharrell.  I said this because this is the way to get to what it is that is wanted in your life. You must feel this way genuinely. It takes time and it takes practice. Life gives us exactly what we are, not what we want.  "Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one." Marcus Aurelius It's mid- month of the beginning of the second quarter for 2019, how's your game pla...

Count down to 2015

Good morning. We had a wonderful vacation in the Poconos Mountains over the Thanksgiving week spending time with family out on the slopes.  We trust that everyone is well and not allowing the holiday season to stress you out too much.  We say that because we tend to wait until the last minute and purchase gifts.  The holiday comes every year at the same time and on the same day, yet the meaning of it is lost and does not make us want to run out and spend thousands of dollars on things that people often don't want or need.  Good luck for all of you.   This post is about focus.  Big surprise, we want you to maintain the same focus that you have had since January 2014 began.   It takes major discipline to do this at this time of the year.  It is necessary because it is easy to stop doing the things that made you successful and prosperous up to this point.   It is also easy to get lazy when it is holiday season and most people focus on...
