</p><p>At least, that’s title of the post I’d like to write &#8211; if only my annoying sense of morals would allow it! I got a chance to pick Seth’s brain last week and thought you&#8217;d benefit from a field report of the Q&amp;A.</p>
<p>To be 101% honest, calling it a “Q&amp;A” would be like calling a <a title="Manatees on wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manatee" target="_blank">Manatee</a> a &#8220;beautiful, graceful sea-swan&#8221;.</p>
<p><strong>The reality:</strong> I snuck into a webinar for <em>female</em> business people of Australia, that Seth was participating in.</p>
<p>Not only was I not in Australia at the time, but my wig was totally unconvincing too.</p>
<p>Nevertheless, when they opened up the floor for questions and some 600 women clamoured to have their queries answered, my question somehow got through.</p>
<p><strong>I asked Seth:</strong></p>
<p><strong>“What advice do you have for someone who struggles to define their superpower?”</strong></p>
<p><strong></strong></p>

</p><p>I get to meet and hang out with a bunch of people who are teetering on the edge of the entrepreneurial dream.</p>
<p>They know that they want the freedom, wealth and happiness that small business success can bring. Some of them are keen to build an empire!</p>
<p>They also have read books that drill in the <strong>&#8220;be passionate about what you do&#8221; </strong>message.</p>
<p>Problem is, these people still end up utterly stuck and frustrated. Sound like someone you know (perhaps <em>really </em>well)?</p></p>

<p>A man with a violin plays six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time approximately two thousand people passed  through the station, most of them on their way to work.</p>
<p>After <strong>3 minutes</strong> a middle-aged man noticed there was a musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried to meet his schedule.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>There is a simple technique for making more sales or growing your business. This technique is so simple, in fact, that it seems like a magic trick. <span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>There is a prize for people who read this post</strong>. </span></p>
<p>It isn&#8217;t magic.. and the psychology is simple. The problem is that 95% of small business owners (large corporates are guilty too!) don&#8217;t focus on <strong>understanding the psychology of their customers</strong>&#8230; so they miss the obvious stuff.</p>
<p>Reading this post (and taking the necessary simple action) will ensure your business never suffers from this common mistake&#8230;</p></p>
