I just realized its been FOUR MONTHS since I blogged. With the magazine, YT channel, weekly events and interviews, its been a busy time for me. (Not that I mind, having the freedom to do anything is GREAT).
I wanted to write a powerful article to kick off 2020 correctly. While this blog will primarily focus on Tier 3 and Tier 2 businesses (0-5k monthly and 5-10k monthly), a Tier 1 (10k and up) will benefit as well.
Here is how to tell if this post will benefit you.
1. Are you working too many hours?
2. Are you a BOB (barely above bills)?
3. Do you have NO idea how to increase sales
and grow your company without tripling your work hours?
4. Do you suffer from money fears and anxiety?
Congrats! You're a legitimate entrepreneur with perfectly normal concerns and problems. (We ALL experience this unless we are raging sociopaths).
If you are ready to be HONEST with yourself and fix your business, here is what you need to do.
1. Do an assessment. You need to ascertain a few things
2. Build a team. On a piece of paper, write down 15 people that will share your stuff upon request, act as mentors or testers, and help with support in tough times. Remember to connect and reward them with recos, warm leads, media interview opportunities etc.
3. Create a social media plan. Your plan should promote others, show what you do, teach your industry, and ask questions that get powerful and VALUABLE responses
4. Develop income streams. This is a LOT easier than most people think. You can take nearly any skillset and turn it into:
*Ebooks
*Mini Courses
*Consulting Calls
*Online Live Trainings
Use Canva (LINK) to create Ebooks and PDFs for courses. Use Zoom (LINK) to host group trainings and consulting calls.
5. Grow an audience. Take the time to constantly add people to your social media. Respond to comments on your videos and CONNECT. Find out their pain points, help them when you can and take them up the "value ladder of friendship"
6. Be visible. Use several ways for people to see you. You have a TON of free media platforms to utilize:
1. FB feed and biz page and groups
2. Twitter
3. Email list
4. Youtube
5. Blogs
6. Linkedin
7. FB Live
8. Other people's FB groups
9. Boosted posts and FB ads
10. Instagram
11. Pinterest
12. Reddit
7. Be a Time Jedi. Dont respond to FB Messenger just because some stranger reaches out. Take your time with "I want you to meet my random friend who sort of does something similar and wants 2 hours of free advice that he wont follow" messages. Your work hours are YOUR WORK HOURS. Get things done. The ONLY people I respond to during work hours are paid clients and ELITE VIPs. Not even VIPs. Im talking reality TV stars, millionaires, etc. Stop letting the clowns time jack you.
Finally I have something AWESOME for you for taking the time to read this.

I believe in you and always will. - Rob
