Using the Law of Averages to Create Unlimited Financial Success
Wealthy people know about the Law of Averages and use it each and every day in bringing more wealth into their lives. Once you understand how the Law of Averages works in creating unlimited financial success you will kick yourself for not applying this common sense technique to your every day life in order to improve your chances of financial reward. The Law of Averages is simply a process of prospecting for new customers, new clients, new contracts, additional revenue, finding a new or better job, and essentially getting anything you really want out of life.
So how does the Law of Averages work? Think about these two scenarios involving recent college graduates:
Scenario #1
A college student is six months away from graduating and has decided to apply the Law of Averages in getting the ideal job. She sets out to identify the companies she would like to work for. Her list includes three hundred prospective employers. A daunting list to say the least. Instead of tackling this all at once, she decides to focus on sending out five customized letters a day, five days a week for the next three months. Over the next three months she receives dozens of letters offering her an interview following graduation. She spends most of her final months locking up dates for the interviews. After graduation and her interviews she is faced with making a decision as to which company offer she would most like to accept. She eventually selects a multinational fortune five hundred company which offers her the highest pay, a management training program and an impressive growth track. She begins her new job shortly after graduation.
Scenario #2
A college student is about to graduate and, like many other future graduates, is trying to get the most out of his last six months of college before he sets out to find a job. This is his last semester in college and the idea of entering the real world of work is something he would rather not think about. So he spends his last six months partying, living it up and milking his remaining college time for every last drop. As the final month of graduation approaches he has an epiphany that he should begin his job search. Because he does not have much time, he is limited to how many letters and resumes he can send out and decides that twenty would do. A month after graduation only a handful of prospective employers actually respond and all are negative except for one. The lone company is not one he is thrilled about. It is a small company, does not have any management training program, the pay is not very good and it does not offer a very good growth track. But he has no other offers and is forced to accept the offer for a job that does not begin for three months.
What is at work here is not just better preparation on the part of the graduate in scenario #1 but the Law of Averages. The Law of Averages, when applied in a process-oriented manner, never fails to deliver. The Law of Averages always delivers because it relies on statistical probabilities, not luck, skill or timing.
How can you apply the Law of Averages to increase your chances for financial success?
In its simplest form, the Law of Averages states that the more times you get up to bat the more likely you are to get a hit. If you are a first time author trying to get a book published, the Law of Averages requires that you submit your manuscript to not one, two or three publishers but to three, four or five hundred. If you are a life insurance agent, the Law of Averages requires that you call not one, two or three prospects a day, but twenty, thirty or forty. If you are a CPA, the Law of Averages requires that you send out not one or two direct mailings a year. You need to be continuously sending out direct mail pieces, even if it is only five mailers a day.
The Law of Averages works best when you apply it on a daily basis in your pursuit of a job, client, customer or contract. The Law of Averages means you can control your destiny. By applying the Law of Averages you eliminate the need for luck, timing, or those very rare referrals.
