Every once in a while I tend to break out of the typical “survival topic mold” and I am doing that today.  That said there is nothing that could be more accurately described as a survival topic than having your own stream of income or at least your own brand that makes you marketable as a cut above other job seekers.  The landscape is changing, the resume is dead, jobs are outsourced, the US doesn’t make many “things” any more, we simply consume them

Yet today technology has changed the entry cost into business, it used to take blood letting hard work and lots of money, today you don’ t need a lot of money just a ton of hard work.

Join me today as I discuss…

  • Why having your own income streams is definitely a survival topic
  • Why passion is the key to success in business
  • Why the resume, television as we know it, conventional radio and more are all dead or dying
  • Why the writing was on the wall 4 years ago but big companies refused to listen
  • Why giving a shit about your customers is more important than listening to them
  • Five great ideas for web based businesses
    • A cooking show
    • A REAL fishing or hunting show
    • A home handyman show
    • A podcasters social network
    • Online classes in social media for older people
  • Five great ideas for web empowered businesses
    • Home pet care (pet sitting, yes I am serious)
    • Urban cooperative  farming
    • Self guided GPS tours
    • Pool cleaning for above ground pools
    • High School athlete video production
  • Why now is the time to do what you love.

Big time shifting in gears today folks.  I think if you want security and you want to have a better life that a business of your own is a great way to make that happen.  There are rules to business though,

Join me today as we discuss a few of them such as

  • Find your why first
  • Follow your passion
  • Use your way and passion to find your what
  • In the middle of a recession a guy will buy a 800 dollar surf board and then turn off extra lights to save money
  • Do NOT pay attention to what other people are selling BEFORE you find your why, your passion and what
  • You must know and I mean know the answer to “who do I serve”
  • You can’t sell to the ignorant or the poor
  • Always sell what people want, don’t bother with what they “need”
  • Give a shit about your customers (listening is bullshit you have to care)
  • Know what ARPU and VPV are, with out them you are screwed
  • How you price items, how you know your price is right
  • Why no one stole your idea, that is a bullshit cop out
  • As a small business you should create markets not capture market share
  • You don’t set your price your market does
  • If you know what a visitor is worth you can’t loose money
