The article presented as the editorial of BIPTipsForVIPs (One of the newsletters we send out to VIPs in Iran) in Sep 11, 2000.
A very important person has the key to success and effectiveness everywhere
he/she goes.
I strongly believe that today's net users, web sites owners and
webmasters can be a VIP as well. But in this path, these persons must think,
act and move ahead just like those successful entrepreneurs recognized by
people of the world and the media. Characteristics of these persons are very
clear.
Studies show that VIPs are all optimists by nature (Or they have
tried to be so), To them everything is possible and achievable, they won't
look back, they just keep going ahead and move forward, with hands full of
confidence and self-esteem and courage. Wherever they go, they receive
hero's welcome. VIPs must have big plans for everything, must be think
tanks, with heads full of solutions and they are mindful of problems.
They see and do everything as a project, they are mindful of feedback and they
are always gathering useful information.
One important thing is that not
many people have their home phone number, but studies show that interested
people will contact them anyway saying: "You know ... I saw your picture in
the morning paper and read your interview ... That was great ... I wanted to
say ..." or "Let me start this way... I watched you last night on TV, I
wanted to talk about a new project we have and etc..." - Very Important
Persons have now a new media, the Internet, they have a web site on the net
and people find them easily, contact them anyway and VIPs attract deals like
pop singers and rock stars draw fans for their new albums.
In the real life, taxi drivers refuse to take your money, if they find out you are a
very important person. You must try to build such a picture from yourself by
thinking, acting and moving ahead just like a true VIP. Then, the promised
success is yours and the gates are looking forward to welcome you with
respect and love.
