“Vantage Point” is a suspenseful action flick directed by Pete Travis, starring Dennis Quaid, Matthew Fox, and Forest Whitaker. The plot centers around the attempted assassination of the American President, which is told and re-told from different vantage points (i.e. different people, different locations, different mindsets, different agendas, different focus’, etc.).

The movie provides some very interesting revelation on how to look at your business differently, and see insights, and breakthroughs for exponential increases in your profits.

“One’s life begins when they are finally able to live for something other than themselves.” (Albert Einstein)

Assess Your Vantage Point
A sure way to a boring – same old thing – photograph is to take a picture from the same point of view that everyone sees as the same scene from day in and day out. For example, imagine you’re walking down your neighborhood sidewalk. If you stop on the sidewalk at any particular point and simply lift your camera up to your eye and snap, the result is something you would see every day. It could be interesting, but the point of view that the photograph was made from definitely works against it. But kneel down and look for a new vantage point, or how about lying on your stomach and looking around – a whole different view.

I often wonder what kids under the age of 9 really experience on a crowded day at an amusement part – say Disneyland. Think about the fact that their line of sight is at or below the belt line of thousands of park goers – all day long. Do you suppose their experience of the sights and sounds differs from your adult altitude?

From what vantage point do you look at your business? Are you the founder, have you been living and breathing this business from the time is was a seed of an idea, have you lived through years of good times, and years of bad times, have you hired and fired endless employees over the years, did you start the business when Internet marketing was unheard of?

When was the last time you took a really fresh perspective, a real long hard look at your business from a different vantage point? Have you ever done it?

Look for a Fresh Vantage Point
Consider some ways to look at your business in a new, fresh way:

1. View from your prospects vantage point – your sign, your storefront, your yellow pages ad, your website, the voice on the phone, the first person that greets them – does anybody greet them?

2. View from your customers vantage point – how have you recognized them, thanked them, followed up with them, communicated about new products or service to them?

3. View from your vendors and suppliers vantage point – do you make it easy to do business with them, how accurate is your paperwork, how quickly do you pay your bills, how do you acknowledge/thank/communicate to them?

4. View from your competitors vantage point – how do you threaten them, how do you make their job easy, how often do you change and improve – always looking for the edge.

5. View from your employees vantage point – how enjoyable are you to work for, is your work environment uplifting/safe/comfortable, how often do you praise vs. reprimand, what’s in it for them?

So, I encourage you to accept a suggested homework assignment – take the above five vantage points – and freshly look at your business through the eyes of each of these groups of people. Then actually ask people in each of those groups what they see, feel, experience with you and your business. How similar is your view of their vantage point with their actual vantage point.

” We have the power to choose and to exercise that power without giving control of it to situations. We cannot change anything but our own perspective and response, yet in that changing we change the world around us by becoming an instrument of insight and awareness.” — Gail Pursell Elliott

From the desk of Alex Mandossian

Source: http://www.alexmandossian.com/2009/11/24/the-7-most-important-tele-interview-questions/

See also http://teleseminarsecrets.com/faculty

When preparing your presentation, make sure you have specific answers to these seven critical teleseminar interview questions.

1) WHY is [TOPIC] so important for our listeners to achieve greater success?

2) WHAT is [TOPIC] by definition?

3) HOW do your students typically get started with [TOPIC] on a step-by-step basis? [If you are going to give steps on how to get started, Alex recommends using 5-9 steps (7 +- 2)]

4) WHAT IF any of our listeners got started today with [TOPIC] – what would their life look like in say, 30 days? 90 days? 1 year? How about 3 years?

5) What are the specific ROADBLOCKS that typically prevent your students from getting started? [What are the roadblocks getting the way? Every door has a lock. Every lock has a key. Mention 3]

6) What are the specific STRATEGIES that are like keys to unlock “roadblock doors” to achieve WILD success? [Not just any success, but wild success. Each roadblock has a strategy to it.]

7) What’s the first PHYSICAL ACTION STEP you’d want a listener to take to get started with [TOPIC]? [Alex likes to call continuing education is education]

The first 4 questions come from David Colb, the next 2 from Dan Sullivan, and the last one from David Allen.

You have the WHY learner, the WHAT learner, the HOW learner, and the What IF learner. Be sure to ask and answer these questions in this order.

LORD, who may abide in Your tabernacle? Who may dwell in Your holy hill? He who walks uprightly, And works righteousness, And speaks the truth in his heart; He who does not backbite with his tongue, Nor does evil to his neighbor, Nor does he take up a reproach against his friend; In whose eyes a vile person is despised, But he honors those who fear the LORD; He who swears to his own hurt and does not change; He who does not put out his money at usury, Nor does he take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be moved. (Ps 15:1-5)




As a global CONNECTOR in Christ, I delight in connecting people, ideas, and resources. I realize that many of the connections shared are not meant for most of my followers. But hopefully, when the right opportunity comes your way at the right time, you will have the spiritual discernment and courage to seize that.

Over the next three days, I will be sharing what I consider three extraordinary opportunities to sow into yourself and the Kingdom of God. Each one of these requires a big step of faith and UNCOMMON obedience on the part of the sower. UNCOMMON obedience always leads to UNCOMMON blessings – always. Even if none of these apply to you directly, your prayer support will still be appreciated.

Today’s opportunity relates to sowing a $14,400 seed. This amount has a huge miracle story behind it.

In late 2002 and early 2003, the Holy Spirit worked in my life in a most peculiar way and finally instructed me to sow a $14,400 seed into Doug Barclay’s life. It turned out the amount the LORD told me to sow (12 x $1,200) was the exact amount Doug needed to begin working as “Development Director” for Operation Mobilization. Doug’s first day of work at OM was 03-03-03, a spiritually significant date. On March 8, 2007, I wrote a YDB devotional about that titled “The Doug Barclay Miracle.”

On January 1, 2007, the first day of my sabbatical year and my 21 day fast, the Holy Spirit told me to ask 12 people to sow a $14,400 seed into Empower 2000, my parent company. Later that day, a family member sowed the first seed. Then on June 12, 2009, a friend sowed the second seed. I wrote about that on September 14 in a YDB post titled “The Angel Breakthrough and the $14,400 Miracle.”

A few months ago, the LORD made it crystal clear to me that I was to ask ten more people to sow a $14,400 seed into Empower 2000 and God’s billion soul vision. After dragging my feet for a while, I have finally mustered the courage and removed the distractions to do this.

So here’s the opportunity. I am allowing ten more people to sow a $14,400 seed into Empower 2000, my parent company. After the ten seeds are sown, this offer will close forever.

In exchange for sowing a $14,400 seed, each investor will receive 1% of the gross income of Empower 2000 through December 31, 2011, paid on a quarterly basis. While I can’t make any guarantees, my goal is for each investor to experience a significant return on their investment.

In addition to this, each investor will be allowed to offer $10,000 in scholarships to needy people and organizations of their choice for online courses that Jerry Graham and I teach.

If you are interested in this offer and opportunity, please call me at 540-547-4240. If I’m not available, please leave a voice message with your phone number and I’ll return your call.

Prayer Power
Heavenly Father, thank You for the courage to finally do what You instructed me to do. I leave the results in Your hands. May you richly bless each person who steps forward. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

Blessings for spiritual discernment and courage!
