Every normal person wants success in life. Many women want success as wives, mothers, friends, teachers, or providers. Men often want success as fathers, husbands, friends, athletes, coaches, or providers. Financial success helps us feel better and perform better in every one of these areas. It’s easier to be a good mother, father, spouse, friend, or teacher when we’re not constantly worrying about how or where we can get the money for our family’s next meal.
Countless ways to succeed exist today in a gazillion different businesses or professions. However, certain principles of success never change.
Let me ask you a question. If you wanted to become a top singer, actor, golfer, or outstanding cook, where would you turn for help? Would you ask some stay-at-home neighbor? A brother or sister who has no interest in any of these professions? Of course not. You’d seek out a person with proven ability in your chosen field-a person with proven success.
Most of us like to think of ourselves as being unique. One-of-a-kind. And we are. We enjoy doing things our own way. But–at least at the beginning–couldn’t you increase your chances for success by modeling someone who’s already successful in that area? Would it make sense to learn what your role model has done then and try to duplicate it? The apprentice system has worked extremely well for centuries. Master craftsmen in many fields-woodworkers, painters, builders, doctors, and more were taught this way.
Early in my medical career, I was fortunate enough to train at outstanding hospitals in Philadelphia and New York. I sought out institutions where the absolute best surgeons worked–in my chosen specialties. Why? Because I had been taught early in life that to be outstanding at any job required investing the necessary time and energy to learn that job inside and out. And who better to learn from than a person who’s already outstanding? I recall one famous surgeon advising his residents: “For your first 100 operations, perform this procedure exactly as I do it. After that, you’ll know what changes you can safely make, should you ever need to.” I have learned to apply this same principle to my businesses.
Why do you suppose THE APPRENTICE has been so successful on TV? Because aspiring businessmen and businesswomen struggle to watch Donald Trump up real close. He’s their Icon of business success. They want to learn everything he does and how and why he does it. To approach his level of success, they intend to copy his methods as closely as possible–even though most of the applicants appear plenty capable already. They intend to be as successful in their businesses as Trump is in his.
Hmmm. What does all this suggest to you? Is there a success principle lurking someplace in here? If you want exactly what someone else has, perhaps you need to do exactly what that person does. Make sense?

Advertising and marketing are creative disciplines. That’s one reason I love being a part of the marketing industry. Finding creative solutions to help clients sell their products and services is a fun way to make a living. Having said that, I must also say that too often I see marketers going too far.
In my opinion it is certainly possible to be too creative for your own good. What exactly do I mean by that? Let me share a very public example to explain.
My example comes from the reality television show, “The Apprentice.” Okay, so I admit it, I LOVE that show. I’m not much of a reality TV fan, but there’s something about watching these teams compete on business challenges week in and week out that intrigues and entertains me.
Quite often they are given marketing-related tasks on the show. Let’s face it, marketing is one of THE most important jobs you’ll ever have in business. If you can do it well, your business will more than likely do well. If you can’t market well, your business is in trouble.
In a recent episode of “The Apprentice” the task was to create a TV commercial for Dove Body Wash. The teams were instructed to come up with an “out of the box” 30-second spot to promote the product. The result?
Both teams created garbage! I guess some may argue they certainly did think “out of the box,” and both teams tried to justify that’s what they did, but in the end, they failed miserably at their number one task: to sell the product!
And that’s what I think happens to many marketers who try to be too creative. They lose sight of the fact their job is to sell a product or service. To do that effectively, your marketing has to be one word: relevant.
You can be as clever or creative as you want, but in the end if your marketing is not relevant to the product and to those who are most likely to buy it, you have failed.
Look, I realize we have to be creative to capture our audience’s attention. After all we are trying to cut through a sea of marketing clutter. I just wish more marketers tried harder to connect with their audience vs. simply entertain them.
Heck, I sometimes wonder if marketers even know who their audience is. This definitely came into play in The Apprentice with both teams showing men using Dove Body Wash in their commercials. C’mon, it doesn’t take a lot of sense to recognize this product is for women! But because they were so focused on being clever, they lost sight of this very basic fact.
If I can leave you with one thought it is this: Identify and know your audience and then aim to connect with them and jump into the conversation they are already having in their head about your product or service.
If you can do this, you will be effective in capturing their attention, AND selling your product or service.
