The Austrian Oak's Brilliant Positioning Secret

People think that Arnold was the luckiest bastard alive especially considering his "subpar," acting in his earlier movies and somehow he became famous overnight.

But that's not the case at all.

His first movie was Hercules in New York and that movie was horrible but I digress.

Let's get to it.

Arnold moved to the US in 1968, couldn't speak a lick of English, became a world champion bodybuilder and then an iconic movie star.

But yet what people don't know is that when Arnold landed his first movie role he was already damn successful.

He had a brilliant mind for business that no one could match.

When he was 21 Arnold started his first business in the Hollywood Hills.

He noticed a demand for bricklayers around the high-end homes and also noticed the "keeping up with the Jones," mentality.

He formed his own bricklaying company with his bodybuilding friends and demand for his company skyrocketed.

His business wasn't much different from the other bricklaying companies around YET they couldn't get the same high paying gigs that Arnold got.

And that brings me to ANOTHER point...
... Arnold charged MORE for his bricklaying services and people PAID for them.

There was nothing special about what Arnold's business. They did the exact same work as other bricklaying businesses...
... YET..
HE STILL CHARGED MORE.

AND...
... PEOPLE WERE WILLING TO PAY!

Why?

Why did Arnold get more business than the other bricklaying companies? He wasn't known among the other bricklayers.

Why was he able to charge more?

The answer...
..Positioning.

Positioning allows ANY business the ability to compete in an evergreen cut throat market.

Now more than ever as more and more businesses pop up, having a damn good position is more important than ever.

It's no longer enough to just launch a product and hope for the best.

Right now if you are a business owner, you aren't thinking about positioning but you're about your competitors sweeping in like a thief in the night and stealing away your business.

So here's a quick easy way to establish a fast Position in your market..

STAND OUT.

Arnold's Bricklaying business stood out because he positioned the business as a European Bricklaying Company.

But it wasn't just how he positioned his company as a European Bricklayers, he hired his bodybuilding friends. Now imagine a group of large muscle bound men laying bricks in and around the neighborhood. That's an image that stands out!

HIGH PRICES.

People believe that high prices means HIGH VALUE(including yours truly.) Depending on the market and your product you can charge a higher price.

In Arnold's position he could have charged whatever he wanted and people would have still paid for it.

He worked around the Hollywood Hills area and we all know how slick and rich that place is.

Arnold KNEW the market around that area and knew that people would be willing to pay for a European Bricklaying Company.

Even if Arnold couldn't become an action star he had he business chops and know how to fall back on.

He's said it in the past that he probably would have built several multi million dollar companies if he wasn't acting.

The power of positioning is powerful but it's not easy to find it or create it.

The Simple Way To Market Any Business

You've no doubt heard about the K.I.S.S. principle - "Keep it simple, Stupid." Or as I like to say... "keep it simple, silly." K.I.S.S. has been around the block a few times. In fact, it was a design principle noted by the US Navy in the 1960s. The phrase was coined by aircraft engineer Kelly Johnson. It's nice to note that Johnson was the lead engineer at the Lockheed Skunk Works (creators of the Lockheed U-2 and SR-71 spy planes). Though the acronym has been used mostly by the US military, namely the U.S. Navy and United States Air Force, civilians, businesses and lots of other groups use it too. Heck, I bet you've used it a few times yourself. We all tend to over complicate things, including myself. But I prefer simple any day and twice on Sunday. When tackling any problem, my number one rule is to start with the simple basics first (is the power on? Is the lamp is plugged into the electrical outlet?) And you'd be

How to Advertise Your Used Car

Image
There are many places that you can advertise your car for it to be sold. The question is: How is the correct way to advertise it? Someone who is looking at an advert on social media, a website or a newspaper will want to know everything there is to know about the car. This means that they are interested in the car's history such as if it was in any accidents, special features and they want to see a picture of the car. The idea is to sell a car to people who are in need of a working and functional car but don't want to pay much for this basic transportation. A clear description is the most important aspect of selling any item. Since a person can't physically see the car the first time they see it online, they will want to know everything about the car before they consider seeing it in real life. A prospective buyer will want to know if there are any scratches or dents that can be repaired, scratched hub caps that should be replaced or buffed, and different modi
