Advance Peek at an Excerpt from 2,000 Percent Solution Living

Good morning, 2,000 Percent Solution Creators!

Are you feeling motivated this morning?

I hope so. I know that I am!


I felt called by the Holy Spirit to accelerate
writing of my new book, 2,000 Percent
Solution Living. Writing is going well, and
I thought you might enjoy an advance peek
at this blockbuster book, a way to live way
beyond your wildest dreams.

This excerpt comes from part of the book's
introduction:

Wisdom is the principal thing;

Therefore get wisdom.

And in all your getting,

get understanding.

Take firm hold of instruction,

do not let go;

Keep her, for she is your life.

— Proverbs 4:7, 13 (NKJV)

Would you like to enjoy your life more, accomplish so much that you amaze yourself, have lots of free time, be with loved ones as much as you want, and earn a much higher income while spending less time and effort working? Those are some of the potential benefits that 2,000 percent solution living offers you.

To gain those benefits, you’ll have to make some changes: Stop doing some harmful things and start doing some more beneficial things. In the process, you can use God’s help to turn your life into a masterpiece that both brings glory to Him and joy to you and those you love.

How do I know what’s possible and what’s involved? I’ve been helping people make such improvements for many years as demonstrations of the opportunity for everyone on Earth to make improvements at 20 times the usual rate. In addition, I’ve gained benefits from 2,000 percent solution living for myself.

Are you ready to start now? Read on to learn what to do.

Fulfill Your Potential by Gaining the Right Knowledge and

Performing Breakthrough Service

“… he who is greatest among you, let him be as the younger,

and he who governs as he who serves.”

— Luke 22:26 (NKJV)

Most people have no idea how little of their talent and knowledge they are employing. I see that lack of awareness all the time among my students. I believe that you are underestimating your potential as well.

Here’s an example of what I mean. Dr. Burra Ramulu worked as a shift supervisor at a fertilizer factory in the Middle East for many years. However, his most important responsibility was to train young Arabs to hold the organization’s senior roles. He was effective in such preparation, and all of those with positions above him in the organization were younger men whom he had originally trained.

After deciding to earn a doctorate, Dr. Ramulu became interested in 2,000 percent solutions (ways of accomplishing 20 times the results with the same or less time, money, and effort). His first 2,000 percent solution project was to study how his factory’s profits could be increased by more than 20 times while spending very little money for new investment. He found a way to greatly increase capacity, improve quality, expand productivity, and lower costs that only required an investment equal to about 10 percent of the plant’s existing capital base. As a result, cash flow expanded by more than 20 times.

Realizing that his opportunities to advance his career were constrained in the Middle East, Dr. Ramulu moved back to his native India and took a position with a global producer of basic commodities. As his dissertation subject, Dr. Ramulu investigated how to create a new business model for his employer, the first major business-model improvement for that industry in more than 50 years. As a result, he located a way to lower costs by over 40 percent, to reduce capital needs by even more, and to expand his company’s business volume by several hundred percent. The new business model was approved by his employer and is now being implemented. When in operation, profits for that business in India are expected to expand by much more than 20 times while competitors will be eliminated for many years to come.

Not satisfied with what he had learned and accomplished during the process of attaining his first doctorate, Dr. Ramulu decided to study for a second one. This time his dissertation work was based on an even more fundamental problem: How to lift poor, uneducated people out of despair and to make their lives hopeful and economically successful. Choosing to serve Kasimpet, the village where he grew up, Dr. Ramulu faithfully trekked hundreds of kilometers across India on weekends to teach the people there about 2,000 percent solutions.

Also supported by other volunteers who had once lived in Kasimpet, an initial 50 people soon reformed the bad thinking habits that had held them back, began using better thinking processes, formed a cooperative, and began designing and implementing profitable 2,000 percent solutions. In just a few months, most of those 50 people increased their incomes by more than 20 times, reduced their debts by more than 96 percent, slashed the interest rates they were paying on the remaining debt by 96 percent, and increased their net worths by more 20 times. They also gained new, positive outlooks on life, and sought to cooperate with one another rather than be divided by the accidents of birth from which castes are defined.

As this book was going to press, these 50 people had pledged to teach what they had learned to at least another 20 other people each who will be asked to do the same for 20 more people. Should everyone be faithful, most poverty and despair can be eliminated from that part of India in just a few years.

Naturally, Dr. Ramulu enjoys a wonderful sense of accomplishment from encouraging so many positive improvements. Can you imagine the sense of satisfaction that he enjoys each morning as he thinks about the villagers?

What else might Dr. Ramulu accomplish? It’s up to what God calls him to do. There is no practical limit to his potential to succeed in serving others.

There are millions of people with as much potential as Dr. Ramulu has who could have done what he did to serve others. But few of them choose to serve by learning and teaching breakthrough skills. Dr. Ramulu made that important choice, and that decision liberated him and those he has taught into 2,000 percent solution living.

I pray that this book will do the same for you.

Foundations of 2,000 Percent Solution Living

Become complete.

Be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace;

and the God of love and peace will be with you.

— 2 Corinthians 13:11 (NKJV)

Since I was young, people have often asked for my advice. I have always been happy to share my ideas, and many people have benefited. I have always been grateful to God for granting me this ability to serve and for providing His guidance for what to say and write.

I was deeply humbled in 1995 when the Holy Spirit directed me to lead an effort to help everyone on the Earth accomplish at least 20 times more. (You can read about the origins, methods, and conclusions of what I call the 400 Year Project, ways to make 400 years worth of normal improvements during the years from 2015 through 2035, in Adventures of an Optimist, BookSurge 2007, and at www.fastforward400.com.) I was so overwhelmed by the magnitude of the task that I had no idea what to do first. Fortunately, He directed my steps and learning so that the necessary solutions have been identified and described in my books about the 400 Year Project.

Despite my willingness to help in every possible way, it recently struck me that I may not have been sharing what I have learned in the right ways: When I asked people who have been reading about my work for years what questions they would like me to answer about accomplishing 20 times more, I found nothing new in what they asked. In fact, I had previously written answers to each of the questions I received.

From those responses I realized that people who want to make breakthroughs in all aspects of their lives need a brief compendium of the most important ways to accomplish 20 times more. This book, 2,000 Percent Solution Living, is intended to facilitate those accomplishments.

After thinking about the possible contents for the book over several weeks, I was surprised to be awakened at 1:30 a.m. on May 19, 2009, by a voice that dictated to me in great detail what should be in this book. This dictation continued for many hours and finally paused for me to begin asking clarifying questions, which were then answered. The instruction lasted over six hours.

From that experience, I concluded that by writing this book I am merely serving as a fleshly vehicle for a message from the Holy Spirit that is intended for all people on Earth. I pray that I have been faithful and accurate in sharing with you what I was directed to write.

The Lessons for You

But who can teach a lesson to God,

since he judges even the most powerful?

— Job 21:22 (NLT)

Most people rarely read nonfiction books, dipping perhaps into one or two in a decade. If that’s your reading pattern, this section is for you. I summarize the book’s key lessons here.

If this information is enough for your purposes, stop after reading this section. If you want to learn more about why these solutions are important or how to implement them, go to the chapters that describe the lessons you want to learn more about.

If you would rather read a fuller treatment of the book’s contents, you can skip this section and just begin reading Chapter 1.

Lesson 1: Accept Salvation by repenting of your sins; believe Jesus is God’s Son and in His resurrection from the dead; and give your life to Jesus Christ to do His will, not yours (or rededicate your life to Him if you have accepted Salvation but have not been walking with Him). Start every day by praising and thanking the Lord, praying for what is righteous that you want done in the name of Jesus, and studying the Bible. Attend church whenever possible; make a weekly written commitment of added ways to follow His direction; and witness to others about your faith until at least 20 people to whom you have been speaking choose to accept Salvation.

Doing these things will help you to hear and understand the Holy Spirit who will guide your steps toward the most productive directions on Earth, will provide you with supernatural support for making performance breakthroughs, and will help you earn eternal rewards to be enjoyed in heaven. As a result, you will have all the wisdom and power you need to do any righteous thing you want. Isn’t that awesome?

May God bless you, your family, and all you do in the name of Jesus!

Help Reduce Poverty with Your Ideas for a Global Contest


Good morning, 2,000 Percent Solution Creators!

Are you feeling motivated this morning?

I hope so. I know that I am!

Because of the current global economic issues, I wanted
to do something to help poor people. While recently
reading a book called Crowdsourcing, I was struck by the
opportunity to launch a new kind of contest to create
better solutions for reducing poverty.

Traditionally, online contests have provided a period
of a few months to propose solutions. The best solutions
then gained prizes and recognition . . . and were
publicized for all to use.

The new idea is to start a contest by publishing some
outstanding solutions and inviting people to propose
improvements on those solutions. The list of published
solutions would be continually updated to reflect the
best solutions received to date.

Entrants would have the opportunity to use parts of
already proposed solutions for their entries.

In this way, someone might make a small change that
would provide a large improvement in a fine idea and
turn the result into something much better. And then
the process repeats itself as someone else adds
another valuable small change.

In the contests that were reported, the eventual
winning solutions were approximately 1,000 times
more effective than the first leading solutions that
were received.

I am interested in doing something like this by
beginning with the best solutions for eliminating
poverty that any of my students have generated. I
would publicize these on all of my blogs and put
out a press release about the contest.

What are your thoughts about this kind of contest?

How could it be made better?

How could it be made more interesting to you?

What prizes and recognition do you think should
be offered?

How should the winning entries be publicized?

Thank for your consideration of this request
for help.

I look forward to hearing from you.

You can send me e-mails at

Adventures of an Optimist Is Now Available

Good evening, 2,000 Percent Solution Creators!

Are you feeling motivated this evening?

I hope so. I know that I am!

I also hope that 2008 will be your best year so far.

I thought you might enjoy learning about what I've been slaving over for the last six months to help you make better 2,000 percent solutions.

As you know, I've been working on the 400 Year Project (demonstrating ways to make global improvements at 20 times the usual rate) since 1995. Along the way, I've helped write six books that details progress on the project (The 2,000 Percent Solution, The 2,000 Percent Solution Workbook, The 2,000 Percent Squared Solution, The Portable 2,000 Percent Solution, The Irresistible Growth Enterprise, and The Ultimate Competitive Advantage).

The thinking behind the project has, however, moved much faster than publishing of books has permitted. As a result, I realized early in 2007 that I could see the end of the project.

I decided to share that vision of a world improving on all of its performance areas (big and small, individual and collective). I've put that vision in my new book, Adventures of an Optimist: A Progress Report on the 400 Year Project to Help You Improve 20 Times Faster.

Last year, I held a contest to find a foreword for the book. Ms. Teresa Bolen was the winner of the contest. Here is what she had to say about the book:

"What would you do if God gave you knowledge for making the world a much better place? Not your everyday, ordinary, run of the mill knowledge, but knowledge that would allow you and your team to create solutions that would otherwise not be available to the people of Earth for another 400 years.

"Though he’s far too humble a servant of God to say so himself, I believe that is exactly what happened to my mentor and friend Don when he was gifted with the inspiration to create the 400 Year Project – a project to create 400 hundred years worth of improvements in merely 20 years. You read that right: four centuries worth of improvements in only two short decades.

"The kinds of global improvement methods he writes about have the potential to provide nutritious food, clean water, excellent healthcare and safety to everyone on the planet. These improvement methods have the potential to bring peace to every region of the globe. On a more personal level, these methods have the potential to dramatically increase longevity, perhaps even to more than double one’s lifespan. Don’s methods offer the potential to improve the quality of life, personal relationships, finances, and education, and to present a myriad of new opportunities for you and everyone around you. If you’re not already familiar with Don’s other works such as The 2,000 Percent Solution, The 2,000 Percent Squared Solution, The Irresistible Growth Enterprise, and The Ultimate Competitive Advantage, then this may sound like a fairytale. However if you are already a follower of Don’s work, then you’ll immediately recognize the potential of his 400 Year Project to bring that Divine inspiration into physical reality, ushering in improvements on a global scale, limited only by the imaginations of those who are putting these teachings into practice. In a world where many find themselves lost in the doom and gloom of contemplating a future dominated by disease, disaster, crime, war, and suffering, Don’s optimistic vision is not merely a shining path of hope, but a template for how to recreate our world into something so blessed and wonderful that everyone experiencing it would become optimists.

"In Adventures of an Optimist, Don takes you on a personal journey of how he came to be such a practical optimist and why he has so much faith in all of us. He gives a crash course on his world-renowned 2,000 percent solutions, i.e. any way that you can accomplish 20 times as much with the same time and resources, and gives convincing evidence on how that kind of incredible progress — though seemingly enormous at first blush — is merely a baby step for each of us. Don shows us again and again that we can gain infinitely more by learning how to make breakthroughs in areas with the most potential to benefit ourselves and everyone else.

"One of the great things about Don’s writing is how he demonstrates the ways he and his students have repeatedly succeeded with these improvement methods. He also shares the flops, lest we begin to feel that we are reading the optimistic musings of an intellectual superman!

"Don’s masterful use of metaphors and riveting storytelling ability draw you in to experiencing those moments with Don almost as if you were there in person while it was happening. One of my favorite examples is when he describes becoming one of Amazon.com’s top ten reviewers. Like so many people, I had wondered how in the world he accomplished it, especially in addition to his busy life as CEO of Mitchell and Company, helping world-class business professionals create better and better business solutions; professor at Rushmore University, guiding students to create their own 2,000 percent solutions; and writing numerous finely crafted books. You get to imagine what it was like in Amazon’s earlier days when most people were using dial-up modems, see how Don’s thinking interacted with the growth of the internet and of Amazon, and find out how he realized he could reach more people through Amazon reviews than even the most famous authors of business books do.

"Once the reader is comfortably grounded into imagining the possibilities of 2,000 percent solutions, Don eases you into multiplying those exponential improvements. He expands the vision more and more, and you’ll either come out on the other side with your mind wide open for the very real possibilities that the 400 Year Project offers, or you’ll already be taking action to start making those breakthroughs in those areas with the most potential to benefit yourself and others.

"As you read the book and begin to fully grasp the promise of the 400 Year Project, creating 400 hundred years worth of improvements in only 20 years, you’ll ask yourself, “What role do I want to play?” If you’ve ever wanted to make the world an infinitely better place, if you’ve been looking for an opportunity to make a difference so profound that you joyfully leap out of bed each day to create that difference, then this book may just be the introduction to the means you’ve been seeking. Get ready to open your heart, open your mind, and let the possibility of a future brighter than all your wildest dreams be revealed to you."

Issues and Solutions for Small and Medium Sized American Manufacturers

Good morning, 2,000 Percent Solution Creators!

Are you feeling motivated this morning?

I certainly hope so. I know that I am!

Ken Rayment interviewed me yesterday about how small and medium sized American manufacturers can become much more successful.

I pointed out that most such manufacturers are focused on soaring costs, pressure from customers not to raise prices, and sagging volume as domestic customers lose market share to imports. But those are merely symptoms of weak business models and ineffective cost management methods.

The 2,000 Percent Squared Solution Is Now Available on Amazon.com and Lulu.com

Good morning, 2,000 Percent Solution Creators!

Are you feeling motivated this morning?

I hope so. I know that I am!


The 2,000 Squared Percent Solution
is now available on Amazon.com.

Carol Coles and I are delighted to share this breakthrough book with you!

You'll learn how to increase revenues (for companies) and effectiveness (for nonprofits) by 20 times while reducing the cost of delivering your offerings and benefits by 96 percent. These two 2,000 percent solutions are the equivalent of creating 20 normal 2,000 percent solutions. You'll see profits and effectiveness soar by 400 times.

Fifty-seven outstanding people have endorsed this book already, more than endorsed all of our earlier books combined.

Here's what a few of them had to say:

"A 400 times increase in results! Is that an outrageous claim? Not if you know how. It's all about leverage - finding the point where small incremental efforts create enormous returns. Coles and Mitchell provide the insights, examples and experience to help you find those leverage points - a compelling read."

David P. Norton - Author, The Balanced Scorecard

"The 2,000 Percent Squared Solution is a brillinat distillation of essential management principles that everyone, and I mean everyone, canuse to drive dramatic acceleration of performance. It's packed with great stories that make the principles easy to understand, embrace, and apply. Whether you're a leader in a big, small, for-profit or not-for-profit organization, you need this book."

Rosabeth Moss Kanter - Harvard Business School, best-selling author of Confidence: How Winning Streaks & Losing Streaks Begin and End

"The 2,000 Percent Squared Solution combines audacity and practicality into a one-of-a-kind guide for improving performance."

Daniel H. Pink - Author of A Whole New Mind

"If you want greater profits and more efficiency, read this book. I found many breakthrough concepts for growing and streamlining all of our companies in this book. It made me aware of a lot of things we were not addressing and we are now."

Jack Canfield - Co-author of The Success Principles
, and Co-creator, Chicken Soup for the Entrepreneur's Soul®

We hope you'll take the time to examine this volume.

Here's the link for Amazon.com:

http://www.amazon.com

Once there, use the isbn ( 0615142761 ) or this name exactly: The 2,000 Percent Squared Solution. If you leave out the comma in 2,000, you probably won't be able to find the book.

In addition, Amazon.com will be offering a preview beginning in May. You can buy a digital version of Chapter One for only 49 cents through the Amazon Shorts program. Check it out!

Details of the book have also been sent to Amazon.com and should appear on the book's page in the next week or so.

You can also buy the book or a digital version at Lulu.com:

Read a Transcript of a Live Training to Stop Stalling on Creating 2,000 Percent Solutions!

Good morning, 2,000 Percent Solution Creators!

Are you feeling motivated this morning? I hope so. I know that I am!

On Friday, January 12, 2007, I began the first of four sessions focused on helping you overcome stalls that are keeping you from accomplishing 20 times as much. In these four tele-seminar sessions (each one lasting two hours), I help you spot your stalls and show you ways to overcome those stalls.

I go way beyond what I've written in the past with Carol Coles and Robert Metz in The 2,000 Percent Solution and The 2,000 Percent Solution Workbook.

What would it be worth to you to accomplish 20 times as much? Only you know.

Because you are a blog reader, you are eligible to buy the PDF transcript of this live training at the bargain price of only $39.00.

If you are interested, go to:

http://www.AskDonMitchell.com/StopStalling

This material will be the basis of a new book later this year, so you can get a head start now!

Please let me know what else you would like to learn, and I'll do my best to help in future blog entries.

Thanks so much for your support of this blog. I'm delighted that so many tens of thousands of people have made this blog part of their regular reading habit!

Stay the Course Rather than Slice and Dice Your Time

Good morning, 2,000 Percent Solution Creators!

Are you feeling motivated this morning?
I certainly hope so. I know that I am!

The Billionaire Entrepreneurs' Master
Mind put out a press release this morning
that I thought you might find helpful.

Here it is:

Entrepreneur Lesson: Start Ups Should Avoid Time Management in Favor of Multiplying Customer Benefits

Download this press release as an Adobe PDF document.


While Moses was away for forty days receiving the Ten Commandments from God, Aaron bowed to popular pressure and created a golden calf for the Hebrews to worship. As a result God became angry and decided that the Hebrews would wander in the wilderness for forty years before reaching the Promised Land. Likewise, entrepreneurs launching start ups today are finding that popular time management techniques encourage entrepreneurs to work on the wrong tasks, rather than spending whatever time is needed to complete the tasks that will lead to the promised land of entrepreneurial success. As a result, entrepreneur start ups fail to succeed more often, are smaller and less profitable, and take longer to establish.

Weston, MA (PRWEB) January 25, 2006 -- Entrepreneur start ups seeking to create billion dollar businesses should focus all their attention on the right tasks rather than allocating their time to what they think is important based on a new study.

Time management experts argue that you should split your day into a variety of tasks, emphasizing the most important ones according to your goals. Such a process would never have allowed Moses to spend forty days with God on Mount Sinai to receive the Ten Commandments. Instead Moses would have been spending part of every day (except the Sabbath) reorganizing the distribution of manna, planning for the deployment of scouts to look for the Promised Land and practicing his technique for bringing forth water in the desert. Perhaps Aaron had, in fact, taken such a time management course and had an objective to keep people satisfied with their religious practices according to their own preferences. If so, he clearly was working on the wrong task.

The Billionaire Entrepreneurs’ Master Mind, http://billiondollarbusiness.blogspot.com/, a global learning organization that helps entrepreneurs create billion dollar businesses from start ups headed by Donald Mitchell (co-author of The 2,000 Percent Solution http://www.2000percentsolution.com/, The Ultimate Competitive Advantage and The Irresistible Growth Enterprise http://www.irresistibleforces.com/), examined the large companies that had the fastest growth under one CEO from 1989-2002 which had been founded as entrepreneurial ventures. This study determined that

The entrepreneurs focused their start ups on 7 key tasks, regardless of how long it took to accomplish the tasks:
― Creating a major new market or expanding an old one by 20 times
― Reducing the costs of customers and beneficiaries to use the start up’s offerings
― Adding customers 20 times faster than competitors at low cost
― Improving the start up’s business model at least every four years
― Employing a business model that didn’t require much external equity capital
― Building a management team deep in innovation, operations, finance and marketing
― Searching to find out what they didn’t know that they didn’t know.

This focus reminds many entrepreneurs of the way that Moses stayed with God on Mount Sinai until he had the Ten Commandments. It took forty days, but it was well worth the wait.

Donald Mitchell noted: “Entrepreneurs may be setting themselves up for failure when they set rigid deadlines for launching their offerings. If a delay means greatly adding to customer benefits, vast realms of opportunity will be opened up by being flexible rather than efficient in the venture’s use of time. Time management techniques can create a false illusion of progress while directing attention away from what’s really important to future success. Unsuccessful entrepreneurs usually are focusing on only one, two or three of the key tasks which creates the appearance rather than the reality of entrepreneurial progress.”

Mitchell cited the example of Tellabs which experienced a long delay of several years in producing its first telecommunications switch. But the company’s entrepreneurial leader, Mike Birck, was patient in order to ensure that the resulting product would be unstoppable. It was the right decision. After the product was launched, Tellabs experienced more sustained revenue, earnings and stock price growth than any other manufacturing company of its size in North America.

A media tele-conference will be held at 2 p.m. EST today, January 25. Please dial 1-712-580-7706 (passcode 16474222#) to join this tele-conference.

Use Your Mental Capital Rather than Venture Capital

Good morning, 2,000 Percent Solution Creators!

Are you feeling motivated this morning?
I certainly hope so. I know that I am!

The Billionaire Entrepreneurs' Master
Mind put out a press release this morning
that I thought you might find helpful.

Here it is:

Entrepreneur Lesson: Start Ups Should Avoid Venture Capital
and Focus on 7 Key Tasks Instead Based a New Study

Download this press release as an Adobe PDF document.


When David defeated Goliath, he used only a sling and some
stones. Leveraging his skill and focus, David aimed his
stones at the right spot and the rest is history. Entrepreneurs
today launching start ups are finding that venture capital
makes them vulnerable like Goliath while mental capital
makes them agile and effective like David.

Weston, MA (PR WEB) January 18, 2006 ― Entrepreneur
start ups seeking venture capital are less likely to create
billion dollar businesses than start ups that focus on 7 key
tasks based on a new study.

The Billionaire Entrepreneurs’ Master Mind,
http://billiondollarbusiness.blogspot.com/, a global learning
organization that helps entrepreneurs create billion dollar
businesses from start ups headed by Donald Mitchell
(co-author of The 2,000 Percent Solution
http://www.2000percentsolution.com/, The 2,000 Percent
Solution Workbook http://2000percentsolutions.blogspot.com/,
The Ultimate Competitive Advantage and The Irresistible
Growth Enterprise http://www.irresistibleforces.com/),
examined the large companies that had the fastest growth
under one CEO from 1989-2002.

Most of the top performers were begun by an entrepreneur
as a start up. The majority of these top-performing former
start ups never relied on venture capital. Examples include
Clear Channel Communications, Paychex, Virgin Group and
Wal-Mart. Their beginnings were often humble. Sir Richard
Branson dropped out of high school to start Virgin. Tom
Golisano started Paychex in a one-room office with two colleagues.

Instead of venture capital, the entrepreneurs focused their
start ups on 7 key tasks:
― Creating a major new market or expanding an old one by
20 times
― Reducing the costs of customers and beneficiaries to use
the start up’s offerings
― Adding customers 20 times faster than competitors at
low cost
― Improving the start up’s business model at least every
four years
― Employing a business model that didn’t require much
external equity capital
― Building a management team deep in innovation,
operations, finance and marketing
― Searching to find out what they didn’t know that they
didn’t know.

Donald Mitchell noted: “Venture capital is expensive because
investors are seeking huge gains. Fields that attract venture
capital soon have too many competitors. Venture capitalists
are quick to fire entrepreneurs who fail to meet their business
plan goals. Firms without venture capital learn how to create
leaner, more competitive businesses that can become highly
prosperous.”

A press conference for members of the media will be held at
4 p.m. EST today, January 18, to discuss this research and
how entrepreneurs can build their businesses more successfully.
To register for this press conference, send an e-mail before
4 p.m. EST today to e-mail protected from spam bots and
directions to join the call will be sent to you. Label your e-mail
subject as "Entrepreneur Lesson Press Conference".

Follow Mitchell's Law to Achieve Your Dreams in 2006

Good morning, 2,000 Percent Solution Creators!

Are you feeling motivated this morning? I hope so. I certainly know that I am.

Let me share one idea with you . . . that may be more valuable than any other idea you can apply in 2006.

Management gurus all have their ideas about how to make you more effective. Here are some of the practices that they advocate:

Time management
Management by objectives
Six Sigma quality
Non-stop innovation
Top grading
Empowerment
Team building
Employee ownership
Training

and on it goes.

There's a problem with what they propose: Such solutions ignore the potential of compound expansion of benefits.

Let me explain. If you gain a benefit in one area, your organization's results improve only by that amount . . . unless the benefit triggers a gain in another area. It's like having a saving account that earns interest for one year, but doesn't earn any interest after that year.

Why does that occur? Competitors are improving every year. By next year, they have matched your gain in some other area and your improvement no longer adds more profit and cash flow.

When you link together larger gains that multiply their organizational benefits faster than competitors, you create ever increasing scales of benefit.

Here's an example. Imagine that a company finds a way to expand its sales by 20 times. That's a great breakthrough. The first year profit gain is likely to be equivalent of 30 years of normal progress!

But that's just the beginning. Now have the same company find a way to reduce its cost of providing its offerings by 95%. These cost savings multiply over the increased volume. The first year gain in earnings and profits is likely to be the equivalent of 600 years of normal progress (profits are now approximately 40,000 percent of the beginning level).

Don't stop now. Next have the same company be able to expand the market growth by 20 times annually. This multiples sales, profits and cash flow even faster because the company's ability to gain market share from the first improvement is further increased. The first year gain in earnings and profits is likely to be the equivalent of 12,000 years of normal progress (profits are now approximately 80,000 percent of the beginning level). And each year of market growth at that rate adds 20 times more profits.

We can keep going by putting in innovations to reduce capital needs by 95%. This means that free cash flow will increase by several hundred thousand percent.

By now, you are probably ready for Mitchell's Law:

Organizational growth in cash flow and value expands geometrically as a function of market growth times cost reductions faster than competitors times gains in market share times capital intensity reductions faster than competitors times use of lower cost capital than competitors.

Here's the mathematical expression of that law:

OG = (MG)(CR)(MSG)(CIR)(ULCC)


Organizational Growth in Cash Flow and Value = OG

Market Growth = MG

Cost Reductions Faster than Competitors = CR

Market Share Gains = MSG

Capital Intensity Reductions Faster than Competitors = CIR

Use of Lower Cost Capital than Competitors = ULCC

If you have questions about Mitchell's Law, please make comments on this blog post or contact me at ultimatecompetitiveadvantage@yahoo.com/. Please label your subject as "Mitchell's Law" so I will know to be sure to look at your e-mail.

Major in 2,000 Percent Solution Processes at Rushmore University for Greater Success!

Good morning, 2,000 Percent Solution Creators!

Are you feeling motivated this morning? I certainly hope so. I know that I am!

I have a nice surprise for you this morning!

Rushmore University has just announced that it will now be offering masters and doctoral degrees in creating exponential organizational success via 2,000 percent solution studies. I will teach all of these courses.

You can apply The 2,000 Percent Solution Process to any subject that Rushmore offers courses in.

For more details, go to:

http://www.rushmore.edu/2000.htm

If you have questions, feel free to contact me directly at ultimatecompetitiveadvantage@yahoo.com/.

Here are some descriptions of experiences that others have had with my popular introductory course on this subject:

“Professor Donald Mitchell brought me to a whole new world. I used the course based on The 2,000 Percent Solution and The 2,000 Percent Solution Workbook to establish a strikingly promising business strategy for my company, which other business courses failed to help me provide. Now I am doubling my company’s business and profit very rapidly and realizing my dream: Exponential Business Success.”

–Hiroshi Fukushi

President, FD Green Co., Ltd., Thailand; Managing Director, AET Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Thailand; and Director, Ajinomoto Co. Ltd., Thailand

“This course obliterated my complacency. Our business has turned the corner due to application of the 2,000 percent solution principle. No more 6% interest on medium risk financial investments – 40% in 9 months, an annualized 755% improvement. The blinkers have gone.”

–William Kempen

Partner, Impact Human Resources, South Africa

“Donald Mitchell’s on-line tutorial alerted me to company stalls that must be avoided. It was very instructive to learn how not to do something. The creation of a 2,000 percent solution showed me that there are always better, cheaper and more effective ways to organize any business activity.”

–Neil R. McGrath

CEO, Application Developers Pty. Ltd., Australia

The ‘Exponential Business Success’ course is quite ideal for small entrepreneurs and those working for reputable organisations to create solutions to the many snags that retard an enterprise’s exponential growth. The course is a powerful tool for those who are keen to bring significant change in their personal lives and organizations they work for.

“I am one of many students who have benefited greatly from this course. I am not only an effective member of my family and the organisation I work for but a visionary affiliate of my society as well.


“The author of the books The 2,000 Percent Solution and The 2,000 Percent Solution Workbook, Professor Donald Mitchell uses both resources to mentor his students in a more practical way. The first book takes the learner through stalls, stall busters commonly found in any organisation and the eight steps towards creating a valuable business solution … while The 2,000 Percent Solution Workbook guides the learner through a series of practical applications of the 2,000 Percent Solution process You do not need to go to class for the course is offered on-line.”

–Jacob V. Yesaya

Senior Lecturer in Vocational Education, Department of Vocational Education and Training, Botswana

“This course enabled me to explore comprehensively all aspects of my organisation, ranging from the traditions we follow blindly, the complacency which had set in the way we serve our customers, the unnecessary bureaucracy and the blind spots in me and in my organization. This course helped me immensely in learning and acquiring expertise and know-how on how to manage and discipline my thinking, to be more creative, and build my self-confidence in my ability to make a big positive difference in other peoples’ lives.”

–Elijah Chingosho

Associate Professor, Rushmore University, Africa

“Under the wonderful guidance of my advisor, Professor Donald Mitchell, I developed goals, new habits and skills to achieve professional as well as personal success to lead a happy life.”

–Burra Ramulu

Supervisor, SAFCO-3, Saudi Arabia

“When our effectiveness suffers because of stalled mind-sets, when our productivity is low, because we are stuck in bad habits that disfavour our projects, 2,000 percent solutions are effective answers. In his courses, Donald Mitchell shows students how to identify stalls and break through them by creating 2,000 percent solutions. I have found this idea of creating stall busters that supply exponential success highly useful in my professional and private life. Once people identify the main problems and create the ‘right’ solution to tackle them, not only do you solve the problem that you had in the first place, but you might also find yourself solving problems that you didn’t think that you even had and get results that you never even thought you could achieve. Donald Mitchell’s courses on the 2,000 percent solution are a highly beneficial lesson to any students who want to get things right and reach goals beyond their expectations.”

–Oliver Haggenmuller

Executive, Switzerland

“I found Don Mitchell’s 8-step process an excellent practical tool to demolish all hindering forces and barriers in my work. The 2,000 Percent Solution gave me insight to look far beyond the limitations of my present reality. His feedback was very precise in a way that pinpointed the key areas where the performance of my business could be dramatically improved.”

–Roy Rissanen

MBA, Missionary Pilot, Africa

"The 2,000 Percent Solution course under the guidance and the kindness of author Professor Donald Mitchell has been a delightful experience. Easy and fun, I studied chapter after chapter with facility. The logical process and the selected examples make this book accessible to everyone."

- Alain Pierre Mignon

Executive, Indonesia
