OMG...What I Just Discovered
Eric L and Tom W, I was forced to really open up my mind today.
One thing I hope everybody here has learned about me is that I will always
admit when I don't have all the answers or when I was wrong about something.
Anyway, something Eric and Tom said clicked something inside of me and
finally got me out of my own little world, my little, condensed, narrow
minded world.
I realized, and came up with, a brilliant business model that will take me
very little work to put together and will earn me an extra $7,500 a month
with no problem at all. That's $90,000 in addition to the 150K I'm going to
finish with when this year ends.
And that doesn't include 2 projects I am working on, one with a fellow
warrior and one on my own. It's just something that popped into my
head. And I know I'm looking at this money, almost guaranteed, because
I already have the target market in place. These are people who have
asked me for this stuff.
By being wrapped up in my little narrow minded world, I ignored what these
people were saying and dismissed it because I thought it would be...
Too much work
Not profitable enough
But then I took out a calculator and did some math and I discovered that
this could easily be done with a total monthly expense of about $200.
The same $200 I just cleared out of my daily routine by getting rid of
some dead weight.
Yes, I know...everybody wants to know what it is.
As much as I usually share everything I do, in this case, I have to shut
my mouth because everybody and their grandmother will be on it in a
heartbeat and my income ends up getting cut in half, or worse. So in
this case, I'm going to have to keep the details to myself.
But...I can tell you this much and it should help you a lot.
1. Build a list. I'm serious. Build a list in any niche. It doesn't even matter
what it is. Just build one as long as the niche itself has disposable income
to spend to solve their main problems.
2. Listen to your list. Ask questions. Pay attention to the answers. More
specifically, listen very carefully when somebody says...."Are you planning
to come out with..." or "Any chance you can do..." Again, I am dead
serious.
3. Put out an email to your list and tell them your idea (that was actually
given to you by one of your list members) and ask them if it's something
that they'd be interested in and if so, what would they pay for it?
If the response warrants going through with it, based on time and expense
factors, do it. I mean for crying out loud...
Your list just told you what they want!
Do you have any idea how powerful that is?
You don't have to do weeks or even months of boring research. Your list
just said to you...
1. This is what I want.
2. This is what I'm willing to pay for it.
What more can you possibly want?
This simple process is going to earn me an extra $90,000 next year.
Add to that the projected $150,000 from my other 2 projects and that's
an extra $240,000 next year. That brings me up to close to $400,000
income for 2009.
And even if I only do HALF of that (if I just really screw up) that's 200K
for 2009.
Thank you Eric and Tom for making me see that I not only HAVE to think
big but that I CAN think big.
And so can each and every one of you.
