What if I told you there’s a method of operation that guarantees a 100% success rate each time you apply yourself to a project?

This message is about a simple mode of “behaving” that guarantees a 100% success rate.  It’s about one of the ways we take action to achieve desired results.  Really, it’s a success lesson I learned from my Uncle Julius.

My Uncle Julius was the oldest of my father’s 14 brothers and sisters working our family farm in Canada.  He was a metal smith.  And he was very good at what he did.  Imagine a leathery-skinned farmer in the workshop wearing no safety glasses other than his own pair of bi-focals.  No other filtering mask than his own beard.  A true ‘salt of the earth’ figure.

As Uncle Julius was the welder on the farm, I remember hearing his disc saw sawing through metal.  I can still hear his plasma torch cutting through steel.  His torch blazing through a rusty beam that would be sent to the scrap yard.  I remember looking over his shoulder in amazement at the distinctly bright blue blaze of a welding rod, thinking how cool it would be to melt two pieces of metal together.

What struck me most about Uncle Julius, the real lesson here, was the immense amount of pride he took in his work.  If he cut a piece of metal, he would hold it up to the sun and scrutinize it. To make sure the cut was straight.  If he welded metal, he would chip the slag away, put his glasses on, and lean in silently, inspecting his own work, and making sure the weld was strong and secure.

When he eventually took me through my metal education, showing me how to use a TIG welder, MIG welder, and plasma torch, he used the same approach.  Every time he showed me through a step, he’d take a step back and inspect the weld and the seam.  Like he was gazing at a captivating piece of art.  His art.

And he kept saying over and over, “Jay, if it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing right.”

It’s this message that has come to be my most profound “method of operation.”  Uncle Julius taught me to “behold” my work, to fall in love with my labor, and to throw my whole being into the job the first time around.

So how can I guarantee your 100% success rate with this lesson?  It’s not actually by “doing it right.” Perfectionism can be debilitating and a hindrance to your progress.  Instead, this is how you refine your approach:

Ask yourself, “Did I do my very best?”

The passion for your work and the love for your craft will help you achieve that edge necessary to assemble one win after the next.

Here’s what I mean…

When you let go of being perfect (or waiting for perfect conditions) in exchange for doing your absolute best, regardless how “good at it” you think you are, there’s a compounding effect.   First, you achieve consecutive “wins,” because you decide what brings you the most pleasure, not someone else.  Secondly, you create a standard that nothing can trump.  No outside input will get in your way when measured against your personally excellent standard.  Finally, mistakes don’t even enter the picture here.  You may make a mistake, but when you start a project fully conscious that you’re out to do your best–nothing more, nothing less–you’ll only have to make that mistake once. And you’ll be okay with whatever the outcome.

And now you have a sneak peek into my brain and behavior… I believe that when you start out saying to yourself, “I do my best; I give it my all; I am in love with my craft,” every good thing comes your way.  You allow yourself to tap into 100% of your own potential.  You guarantee your own 100% success rate. You are the judge and the only person you cannot fool.

Take this moment to make the decision to do your best in everything you do. You will sleep better than you can imagine.

Best,

Jay Kubassek

July 2011

Love you pops.

July 1, 2011 – New York, NY Ann Sieg, renown author of “The Attraction Marketer’s Manifesto” and “The Renegade Network Marketer” became one of CarbonCopyPROs recent members, instantly referring droves of her students to the world’s premier marketing education company for online entrepreneurs.

Jay Kubassek, CEO and Chief Marketing Officer of CarbonCopyPRO notes, “PRO has always been designed to help entrepreneurs attract more customers and make more money through simple systems, so I feel honored that an online heavyweight like Ann Sieg endorses what our community stands for.”

Sieg is known as a tireless educator, having developed a unique ability for helping beginner entrepreneurs overcome the obstacles that are holding them back. She states, “We’re very excited to be part of the PRO community. This is definitely a company that attracts the best marketers and leaders out there.”

Sieg continues, “One of the biggest things that most home business owners are missing in their model is high ticket sales, which I think is absolutely mandatory to be successful in today’s marketplace. PRO offers this by combining Internet marketing, direct response marketing, and direct sales in a unique way that noone else does.”

As a home business veteran, Ann Sieg has coached thousands of students to six and seven figure incomes on her own teams while establishing herself as a sought-after speaker and trainer on leadership and attraction marketing. When asked why she chooses to partner with PRO, she responds, “I wanted to recommend to my students the best vehicle possible for achieving a six figure income quickly (and with unlimited potential), and PRO has the most progressive business model and product line I’ve seen to help people do that.”

Kubassek smiled, “With everything we add to stay ahead of industry trends and lead with our core beliefs, Ann’s students will be stunned. We welcome every one of them.”

CarbonCopyPRO, founded nearly seven years ago, is a private community of virtual entrepreneurs serving thousands of members in over 200 countries. The company is on a mission is to inspire and empower people around the world to quit their jobs and write their own paychecks by providing the education, systems, tools, and resources required to set up and run a successful business that is fulfilling to them.

Nothing makes me happier than getting emails like this. In fact this is WHY I do what I do. Waking people up to their inner entrepreneur.

iGlobalPros is a team of six experienced PRO members who joined as business partners in January 2011.  Aaron Chen, Kameron George, Simon Guilliard, Dominik Mikula, Karen Newman, and Jenni Ryan collaborate on their virtual business from all over the world, hailing from Malaysia, Canada, USA, England, and Australia.  Having already won marketing awards and led large teams of PRO entrepreneurs, when they banded together, they quickly soared through the ranks of PRO’s leadership levels.

“The day PRO announced the Marketing Partner program in April,” said Simon Guilliard of iGlobalPros’ promotion, “we made it our goal to achieve this distinction.  There was no doubt in our minds that we would serve our community this way.”

The Marketing Partner program is designed so that the most experienced marketers and business owners in the PRO community not only share their advertising strategies but also personally close sales for new members.

Kubassek summarized, “The Marketing Partner Program underscores a new era of PRO that focuses less on making money and more on empowering others.  iGlobalPros joined together with a clear vision of servant leadership, and we couldn’t be more enthusiastic to leverage their expertise for the greater good of our entrepreneurs.”

Qualifying as a Marketing Partner comes with a host of requirements, including specific production results and a scrupulous interviewing process.  iGlobalPros co-founder Karen Newman added, “Becoming a Marketing Partner is an enormous privilege and honor.  But giving credit where credit is due, when we approached the PRO Leadership Team and said, ‘We’re ready to give back; how can we do this?’ they embraced us, coached us, and ushered us into the position.”

John Jackson, VP of Leadership Development responded, “The PRO community will never compromise on our commitment to developing leaders.  But iGlobalPros literally raised their hands and said ‘We’re in!’ It’s humbling to honor their unyielding passion to serve others.”

The “Marketing Partner Program” is the lynchpin of a new culture based on transparency and support for CarbonCopyPRO members.

Benny Bells, Anthony Busciglio, Andrew Cass, Jordan Crowder, Gregg Davison, Michael Force, Jeff Lerner, Jay Kubassek, Kevin Levonas, Sophia Rashkin, Aaron Rashkin, Frank Scott, and Justin Woolf are the charter members of the PRO Elite “Marketing Partner Program”. They developed the program so that every new and existing CarbonCopyPRO member has direct access to all the top producers’ play books, with an invitation to “carbon copy” all of the top marketers and producers in the community.

“It’s very much like a franchise for online business,” noted long-time PRO member and Marketing Partner Michael Force.

Instead of wondering how top producers get massive results, PRO members now have the exact same websites, follow-up sequences, success stories, and experience as the leaders.  Not only do Marketing Partners provide the tools and transparent training, but also they close high-ticket sales, which is where members are going to make most of their revenue.

“The PRO ‘Marketing Partner Program’ allows brand new entrepreneurs to receive direct support from experts in one of the most challenging areas every business owner has to contend with – making the sale,” noted Marketing Partner Jeff Lerner. “More specifically, every time a new PRO marketer has an opportunity to make a sale, they will have one of the best marketers in the world making that sales call on their behalf. To me this makes it a slam dunk to get started with PRO.”

Each charter member of the “Marketing Partner Program” signed an agreement to “Let the PRO community know about my marketing strategies that work.” This gives PRO marketers the ability to know exactly where top producers spend their marketing budget to attract customers to their online business and reap sales.

With a compensation structure that rewards this supportive behavior, PRO members with leadership skills can qualify to become a Marketing Partner. Dr. Charles Smithdeal, Aniko Giampietro, and Lena Bjorna are three top producers recently invited to join the charter members.

CEO and Chief Marketing Officer Jay Kubassek said, “I am honored to have the Marketing Partners’ selfless attitude, their capabilities, and their expertise driving the success of each new and existing PRO member.  I look forward to naming more Marketing Partners to serve the community.”

“PRO Elite solves all the hurdles for the new member coming in with no marketing or business experience,” says CEO and Chief Marketing Officer Jay Kubbasek.  “We are absolutely committed to wake people up to the choices they have to live the life they choose, and the next generation of PRO is based on the idea that we are a community all in it together.”

In an ever-changing landscape on the Internet, PRO Elite responds to industry-wide changes by introducing a new supportive culture, a streamlined and simple business plan, and sophisticated marketing solutions for entrepreneurs.

Marketing Partner Kevin Levonas, integral to PRO Elite’s infrastructure design enthused, “The new back office, training and culture unveiled by the Marketing Partners will change this industry forever.”

The program is the inspired game plan coming out of what is now known as “The James Group”. In March 2011, senior management at CarbonCopyPRO convened with the top producers to define all the barriers facing new virtual business owners and solve them. What they found was that they all had the solutions, and they just needed to communicate with each other and the PRO members.

“Information sharing is necessary for a rising tide to raise all boats,” said Jeff Lerner, a Marketing Partner who contributed to that destiny-determining meeting at the James Hotel in New York City.  “Now we have a new offer, a payment plan that rewards the right type of behavior, and a focus on the community first.”

The most well-received announcement at Master Marketing Event 7 was of the new Marketing Partner program that comes with PRO Elite. Marketing Partners are veteran PRO marketers who will close sales for all new business owners. This level of support eliminates the distinction between the top producer’s business and a new marketer’s business.

Jay Kubassek, the CEO and Chief Marketing Officer of CarbonCopyPRO, awarded prizes to the company’s top marketers for the past six months. “The awards provide testament not only to PRO marketers’ expertise but also their integrity as leaders in this community,” stated Kubassek. “I’m extremely proud of all of them.”

For the “Master Marketing” category, awarded to up-and-coming marketers in the community, iProSynergy, iGlobal Pros, and business partners Sture Nyberg and Christian Bir took home the prizes.

“Winning the award was one of the most prestigious things that could have happen to us,” said Nyberg. “We’re so proud, and this proves that anyone can do the same as we’ve done. We hope that our award is an inspiration for others!”

The “Top Performer” award, given to marketers with the greatest results during the past six months, went to Loyal 9 Revolution, Sophia and Aaron Rashkin, and Lena Bjorna.

“Winning awards is an amazing feeling of accomplishment,” said Bjorna of her 6th marketing award. “But watching referred members step up on stage to receive their own awards – consultants I have mentored and whom I have witnessed overcome tremendous challenges in the pursuit of their dreams – well, that’s the most rewarding feeling of all.”

Master Marketing Events are launchpads for many members’ success. Award winner and top producer Aaron Rashkin added, “The single most important action a PRO Marketer can take is attending LIVE Master Marketing Events. Period!”
