How many times have you heard self-help or business gurus talk about how they ‘uncovered' the ‘real secrets' of success? Hundreds? Thousands?
Right. Me too.
Well, let me save you some money and time. Forget the gurus for a moment.
Here is the real, true, ‘Master Secret of Success':
Just get started!
Don't laugh.
The problem most business people, entrepreneurs, and companies have is that they spend far too much time coming up with new buzzwords and management systems — and almost zero time just getting down to the work that needs to be done.
For the individual or entrepreneur, I offer this tactic that will help you ‘get started' on something that will generate new revenue…
Think carefully about your answer to this question: If you could only do one thing to generate revenue immediately, what would that one thing be?

I know that right about now you're thinking, ‘Ray, this is the most elementary, simple, stupid thing I've heard all week.'
That's okay. Try it anyway – and after you have tried it, I'd love to hear from you with your success story.
And remember, you heard the Master Key To Success right here. In case you forgot already, it's this:
Just get started!
