Bill Bartmann

Bill Bartmann says one of the ways to make it to a successful business is to have a positive mindset that your business will see the success you are hoping for. For many people this seems like a bit of common sense and they think they always try to have a positive mindset to that end. But that may not be enough. Sometimes you need to give your self a little help keeping that positive mindset in place. Creating a Success Roadmap is a great way to do this.

Bill Bartmann asks, What is Success?

Bill Bartmann's tip# 1 is to clearly define success for yourself. What will make you feel successful? Will it be bringing in and retaining another 15 clients? Perhaps you want to expand and add a new product line? Perhaps you choose a dollar amount like a $50K increase annually you want to see in your business. What one statement can you choose to show what you think success is?

Bill Bartmann's tip# 2 is to think about how your life will change if you are successful. Can you picture those changes? Will you be able to expand to the larger business space you had been thinking of? Will you be able to upgrade some of the equipment you are now using? Perhaps you always wanted to go to the great international convention in your field, but never thought your business warranted such things before? What will you and your business look like when you are successful?

Take a moment to close your eyes and picture what success looks like. Enjoy the image of how things will change when you are successful.

Bill Bartmann on Reaching Success

Bill Bartmann's tip# 3 is to know what it will take to help you become successful. There is likely a process, a series of steps, that will move you in the right direction. Make a list of these steps and know how you are going to accomplish them. Whether it means you need to get out and network more to find new clients, add to your current product and service line to be able to get an increase in sales or whatever you think will get you to your goal, make a list of the steps you need to take to move closer.

For example, if your ultimate goal is to offer a new product line for your company, step 1 may be researching what your clients want and what they are willing to pay for it. Step 2 may be researching what is available on the market. Step 3 may be doing price comparison to find out which can offer you the profit you need while still offering your clients the service or item they need. Step 4 will be taking the steps (which could include contract signing and securing financing) to be able to start offering the new products.

The whole process may be a long one, so make sure to remember to appreciate your small steps throughout. All good goals take time and effort. It's easy to get down on yourself as you try to achieve them, but you must remember to keep your positive mindset in place and keep picturing the sweet taste of victory.

Learn From Mistakes - Expert Advice from Bill Bartmann

Bill Bartmann says making mistakes is human. But it's what you do with the mistakes you make that will decide whether you are the type of person who is bound for success or bound for repeated failure.

There are a number of types of mistakes that you may have made in your past which may still be impacting your life, business and personal, and impacting your chances at success.

Bill Bartmann Looks at the Possibilities:

Past Business Failings - Perhaps you are on your second or third business, after a failure or two. Many people who are in this situation become focused on the fact that they failed in the past and are determined that it would happen again. Thinking like this is a surefire way to make sure you will fail again. In many ways you are willing it to happen.

Personal Failures - Many people bring their personal failures and believed shortcomings into their businesses. If they are insecure about parts of themselves from bad things that happened in their childhood, adolescence or even early adult years, they may transfer that insecurity into their business, sending themselves down a path of failure.

Bill Bartmann Recognizes Failures

Bill Bartmann's tip #1 is to recognize your failures. You can't just push them away and pretend they never happened. Recognize that you had your moments where things didn't go well. You should also recognize that those moments were in the past and that you are now doubling up your efforts to not experience those type of failures again.

Bill Bartmann says Learn From Failures

Bill Bartmann's tip #2 is that the difference between those who do great things and those that fail is that those who do great things learn from their failures. From world leaders to business tycoons there is not anyone who has not had a stumble or two, or even a major failure, on their way to becoming successful and accomplishing what they wanted to.

The key is to learn from the failures you have made so you know where you went wrong and how not to go down that road again. Failures can be amazing learning experiences.

Study the failures of your past and find out where you went wrong. Did you take a calculated risk? What did you not take into account that you should have which may have led to the failure? This may be a time to make a note of all the 'signs' you missed as you encountered the failure so you are less likely to miss those signals in the future.

Bill Bartmann says to Build from Failures

Bill Bartmann's tip #3 is to use your new knowledge for success this time around. As you move forward in your business remember the lessons you learned and be on the lookout for any of the obstacles that may cause you problems along the way. Now that you know what they are you will be prepared to overcome them when you encounter them the next time, and come out on top.

How do you really know if being in business is right for you? How can you be sure that people will be willing to pay for your product or services?

Tulsa, OK - Bill Bartmann continues his lecture series by asking his students if they are right for business ownership and if business ownership is right for them. Bill Bartmann said, "There are many things to consider if you are thinking of going into business for yourself."

There are several basic questions that people considering entrepreneurship need to ask themselves. Bill Bartmann wrote the following questions on the board:

Is there a need for your product; is there a customer base?

Are consumers ready for you; do they share your passion?

Do you have enough money?

Are you ready to assume some risk?

Are you confident in yourself and your idea?

Have you done the research?

The students were instructed to answer the questions, thoughtfully. After allowing some time for them to consider the questions and their answers, Bill Bartmann said, "Think about how much money you will need to have saved and how much you will need to borrow. Will you borrow from friends or family? Will you go into a partnership? Or, will you attempt to obtain business lines of credit?"

Bill Bartmann also advised his students to seek the support of those around them. "Remember, as you succeed, others will succeed with you; if your business fails, you will take people down with you. It is important that everyone involved or affected by your business be considered," Bartmann explained.

This part of the lecture series was concluded as Bill Bartmann made his final comments, "Do lots of research; educate yourself; find out more about what you don't know. You will learn that there are a lot of things that you are not even aware that you don't know. There will be things you haven't thought of to learn about. What you don't know that you don't know can be most crucial to your success in starting a new business."

Entrepreneurs know that there is only one predictable way to become wealthy

Tulsa, OK - Bill Bartmann, self-made billionaire and business coach recently completed a series of lectures for a group of aspiring entrepreneurs. Bill Bartmann began the series of lectures as he asked the group why they thought they should go into business for themselves. The common answers included financial security, freedom and to get paid for doing what they enjoy.

Bill Bartmann said, "Going into business for yourself is the only predictable way to become wealthy; you need to take control of your destiny and decide what your rewards are going to be. Few people are lucky enough to be born rich, to marry rich, to inherit rich or to get rich by hitting the lottery. None of these paths to riches are predictable."

Bill Bartmann says that business owners do get what they deserve, including financial security and getting paid for doing what they enjoy doing. "If you go into business ownership with a positive attitude, good things generally follow; if you have a bad attitude, you will suffer the consequences," said Bartmann.

Though business ownership offers many great benefits, it is not for everyone. Bill Bartmann instructed his students to ask themselves these questions and to answer them honestly:

• Are you ready for business?
• Are you prepared to face risks?
• Are you the right kind of person?
• Do you possess the required attributes?
• Can you stay focused on your objective as you make critical decisions?
• Can you get past the word "no"?
• Are you self-confident, even when others express a lack of faith in you?

Bill Bartman said, "Considering how you answered the above questions, are you ready to be the master of your own ship and to control your destiny? Are you right for business ownership? Is business ownership right for you?"

"Not everyone is right for business ownership," said Bartmann. "It's OK to be thankful if you're fortunate enough to have a good job with benefits. You have this position because you possess the skills and knowledge required for this position."

Due to inflation and the state of our economy, entrepreneurs are raising the bar

Tulsa, OK - I wish I had a million dollars! How many times have you said this? If you're 60+ years old, you've probably said this plenty of times. However, young entrepreneurs today know that a million dollars is not what it used to be. The new phrase is more like, "I wish I were a billionaire!"

Bill Bartmann is a self-made billionaire who was homeless at the age of 14, a gang member, a teenage alcoholic, a young man with a low self-esteem, lacking in self-confidence. One night he became intoxicated and was seriously injured; he was told he would never walk again. Bill Bartmann was determined to change his life as he walked out of the hospital five months later!

Bill Bartmann went on to earn his GED, graduate college, and become one of the most innovative and highly-honored entrepreneurs in history. His success was challenged by two unforeseeable business bankruptcies. He bounced back from the first of these by developing the concept of debt resolution, a phenomenally successful business model that earned him a billion-dollar fortune and the admiration and respect of institutions from Wall Street to the nation's top business schools.

Unfortunately, the success of this business would be short lived, when a trusted business partner was convicted of fraud. Bill Bartmann's business and his reputation were devastated. Bill Bartmann met these unfounded allegations head-on, clearing his name and restoring his reputation. The ordeal changed his life as he and his wife, Kathy, decided to re-channel their energy by sharing their "never-say-die" philosophy for success with business audiences throughout the country.
