1. I know exactly how to run a meeting in my company because I've learned those leadership skills from the masters.

2. I have become a master at client acquisition because I understand that this is one of the 12 keys of being a great business owner.

3. We have more than a dozen ways working right now to get clients.

4. Before I deploy even a single tactic (such as an ad, trade show, sales call, email, direct mail, etc.), I have thought through the ultimate goal I want to achieve in the mind of the buyer.

5. Therefore, I have also thought through how to maximize each tactic so that each one achieves at least six strategic objectives, and some achieve 14 strategic objectives.

6. Because I have mastered strategy, I preempt my competition every time. They are nearly powerless against me, even when offering a lower price.

7. I am well aware that the most successful companies have standard operating procedures for everything, and I've learned how to do that for my own company, which has built a company that runs successfully without me.

8. Therefore, I spend a great deal of time working on my business instead of in it, resulting in a constant effort to increase profits at every turn.

9. We have perfected our "stadium pitch" and know exactly what we'd say if we could get in front of all our potential buyers all at once.

10. We have several brilliant and well-planned strategies that constantly get us the best buyers our market has to offer. This has made us enormously successful.
