Four colleagues reconnect at a 4 day intensive conference. They went for a drink after the last session of the week:
Remember when we all worked in Corporate America and we created a contest to see who could reach 6 figures first? Now we all have been laid off, down sized, right sized or left to “Be our Own Boss”. None of us ever reached $100K. Yes, one woman speaks up “I did in 1998”!
Have any of you reached $100K on your own? No, no, and no they all said.
Let’s create a new contest “Go for the Green!” We just learned the top 3 secrets of becoming successful entrepreneurs over the past 3½ days:
· #1 Build passive & residual income from your expertise
· #2 Build a platform to be known as the Expert
· #3 Network, network, network – continually be building your list
OK, GAME ON! They agreed. Let’s meet again in 120 days to review our progress.
The first guy decided to move into a suite in a skyscraper downtown. He was so proud to get his name on the marque with 359 other businesses. When people go into this office building, it will be there for all to see!
The second gal decided to build her list of connections so she became known as the “Networking Queen”. Sometimes she would participate in 3 networking meetings per day. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, evening meetings and events range anywhere from $20 to $150 each gathering.
The third guy remembered one expert from the conference said to create a website that includes your blogs, videos and online store. For the next 90 days, he worked diligently with developers and designers to create his own website. He spent over $15K and was so surprised that he wasn’t getting many visitors like they said at the seminar.
The fourth gal decides to join this Collaborative Cloud Community her friends have been raving about. She moved into her own website in just a few hours. Every week she has been creating new blogs, videos, electronic products and services which are automatically distributed to tens of thousands of executives, entrepreneurs, event professionals, experts and even the media. They also reach tens of thousands more on social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook & LinkedIn. She has been interviewed on radio, podcast, Internet TV shows and quoted in all sorts of publications. She is in the limelight consistently and frequently. She is seen, heard and known as the Expert for a fraction of time and cost it would take to do it herself. Additionally they elevate her reputation as the expert in her industry.The most exciting part is she can focus on what she does best and let LinktoEXPERT do the rest!
Who do you think was the first to reach the Green? Is it time for YOU to go for the green?
