How to Monetize your passion

WSS Sam and Harv1 How to Monetize your passion

Parents want their kids to be safe and secure. So when it comes time to offer career advice, the best advice many parents can offer is “Look for a job that offers long-term career stability and a good salary.”

Having passion for what you do? Sadly, it rarely enters into the equation. The general attitude is that if you like what you do, it’s a nice bonus. But it’s certainly not a good reason not to pursue a certain career or accepting a nice-paying job.

I say that’s a load of bull. Let’s face it. Most people spend 40, 50, maybe even 60 or more hours a week working. That’s a LOT of time – too much time to hate what you do or feel bored and unfulfilled by your work.

Life is too short! Every hour you have is a gift. So figure out what makes you feel great, and do work that you’re passionate about! That’s why I’m committed to helping you achieve financial freedom – so you can spend your time exactly as you want to spend it.

If you’re not currently doing work that you absolutely love, please tune in for our next Warp Speed Success teleseminar on March 15, “Monetize Your Passion.”

My guest will be Sam Crowley, the founder of Every Day Is Saturday. Sam used to be a Fortune 100 executive – and he had the 6-day-a-week work schedule to prove it. He used to make it home at night just in time to tuck his little daughter into bed … and every night she’d ask him if the next day was Saturday, because that was the only day he was home with his family.

Sam realized that his prestigious career and huge salary weren’t worth the price of not seeing his kids grow up. So he quit his job and started his own business. It wasn’t a smooth ride. But he learned a lot and now he guides other new entrepreneurs in following their passion.

We’re going to tackle the common roadblocks that prevent most people from following their passion … and share the critical mental shifts you must make to monetize your passion. It is entirely possibly to earn money doing what you love – despite whatever your parents and teachers told you. Let us show you how! Get more info about the call and to reserve your place:

T. Harv Eker’s SpeedWealth – How to Make a Million Dollars in Your Own Business in 3 Years or Less. Part 6

Each month, the Peak Potentials Social Media team will be bringing you a complimentary article from the newly updated edition of T. Harv Eker’s bestselling book, “’SpeedWealth’” – How to Make a Million Dollars in Your Own Business in 3 Years or Less,” which outlines 8 principles that will to help you massively grow your business.

SpeedWealth Principle #6: Leverage

By T. Harv Eker

LEVERAGE means doing MORE with LESS. It’s not so much a “what” you do, but rather a “how” you do it. Leverage uses specific tactics and strategies that allow you to work smarter, not harder.

Leverage starts with replacing yourself or much of what you do personally. Constantly ask yourself, “How can I provide people with my value, my products or services, while I sleep?” When you can answer this question and execute the answer, you’ve got it made.

One common way to use leverage is tapping into the power of the Internet and social media to reach thousands – even hundreds of thousands – of fans and potential customers for very little money.

Rather than selling your products in bulk to companies, you could sell licensing rights to your products. This would allow your customers to choose their own suppliers, giving them full control of product quality and lowering their costs.

Another form of leverage is add-on and repeat sales, where you create additional products that complement the original product or service you sold. One of my students sold a DVD on “How to Paint Your House.” He developed additional DVDs on topics like how to paint decks, rain gutters, and outside doors.

One of the most powerful ways to leverage is to fully utilize your database. Supporting your customers with additional products and services, giving them reasons to return again and again produces extremely high profits because you’ve already paid the high cost of getting the customer the first time. These are called back-end sales.

Yet another exciting form of leverage is partnership marketing or joint venturing. This is a synergistic relationship that allows each company to leverage each other’s brand and customer goodwill. That’s why “partnership” marketing is popular today and will become even more popular in the future.

There are dozens of ways to use leverage in your business. If you’re not using leverage, you’re working too hard and earning too little!

Cultivate a Prosperity Mindset … and Get Rich in ANY Economy

If you want greater financial success, the single most important thing you can do is change your mindset. Your thoughts lead to your feelings, which influence the actions and, ultimately, the results you achieve. In other words, if you think rich, you’ll act rich, and you’ll be rich. But if you think poor, you’ll act poor, and you’ll be poor.

To change your mindset, you first must know where your thoughts come from … and why you think the thoughts you think.

Many of our limiting beliefs are learned from our parents, who pass down their own self-imposed limitations much as they’d pass on a gene for curly hair or blue eyes. If you grew up hearing that money doesn’t grow on trees, you probably carry the belief that money is hard to come by.

To help you dig deeper into the root causes of your self-imposed limitations and unsupportive habits, we’ve invited a special guest to join us on the next Warp Speed Success teleseminar on September 8.

One of the world’s preeminent experts on prosperity and success, Randy Gage is a multi-millionaire entrepreneur and author of Why You’re Dumb, Sick & Broke…And How to Get Smart, Healthy & Rich! and 7 other books. But he wasn’t always successful. In fact, decades ago, he was dismissed as a lost cause. A high-school dropout, he was jailed as a teen and survived being shot at point-blank range and left for dead.

A single conversation with a friend’s father changed the course of his life … allowing him to explode out of mediocrity and putting him on the path to becoming a self-made millionaire. A world-class trainer, he now shares his story and proven strategies to inspire others to achieve their greatest potential and visions of success.

One of Randy’s many gifts is being able to root out “mind viruses” – the insidious beliefs that infect how your mind operates, negatively impacting how you think, feel and act about money and wealth.

During the call, Randy will share more about what mind viruses are, how to tell if you have one, and how to eliminate them. His goal is to help you create a prosperity mindset … which starts by eliminating the negative beliefs that hinder your success. Having a prosperity mindset will enable you to attract and grow greater wealth – including recognizing the many opportunities to earn money that abound in our current recession.

If you want to be one of the smart and wealthy people who can earn money regardless of whether the economy is booming or bust, tune in for this insightful interview. You’ll walk away with practical ideas you can use to release the blocks that are keeping you from greater success … and cultivate the abundant mindset you need to prosper.

Warning: Your Job May Be Hazardous to Your Wealth!

Most of us have been conditioned to believe that if you go to school, get a job and work hard for a steady paycheck, you’ll be set for life. That’s a nice thought, but let’s be real for a couple of minutes. While your paycheck might mean that you can pay most of your bills and cover your basic expenses and maybe put a little aside (for that rainy day we keep hearing about), it also means that you’re not exactly in the market for a Blohm + Voss or a Hennessey Venomo GT (seriously, look these up). 

The reality is that the “safety” of a steady paycheck gives you the illusion of being comfortable and secure, but it’s exactly what could prevent you from becoming rich! 

Think about it this way: If you punch in, punch out and call it day, you can count on collecting a regular paycheck every two weeks. If you’re dragging one day and rocking it another it doesn’t matter. You’ll only ever make that amount no matter what your performance level or value to the company may be. You’re simply exchanging your limited time for limited money and the type of life where words like ‘most of’, ‘basic’ and ‘maybe’ factor heavily into your happiness (or lack thereof). 

While ‘locking in’ your bottom line seems like a great idea, what you’re really doing is placing a cap on how much income you can bring in. Why limit yourself? When you stop exchanging your time for money and start getting unlimited money for unlimited results, that’s when the magic’s going to happen! 

Our favorite example of this is George Lucas (nerd alert!). Instead of asking for a hefty fee for directing Star Wars, he opted for 40% of the box office gross and all rights to any future sequels— and merchandising. At the time, the studio thought they were ripping him off. Three decades later, guess who’s laughing all the way the bank with a $3 billion net worth (yes, that’s with a ‘B’)? Can you imagine if he’d locked in his bottom line and just picked up a paycheck?

Here’s your million dollar coaching: Rich people get paid partially, if not completely, on their performance and on their ability to produce results. They make their millions from profits, from commissions, percentages of revenues, stock options, and profit sharing (don’t forget merchandising!). Rich people have a rock-solid belief in their value and in their ability to deliver that value. They believe in themselves. 

Do you believe in you?

Your Peak Potentials Team

P.S. What’s one way you can immediately start getting paid for results? 

Come on in… the water’s RICH!

Swimming Come on in… the water’s RICH!

Did you know that there are no straight lines in the universe? (Note: we checked with the universe, but all we got back was a smirk and a wink, so we’re going with yes.) None! Don’t believe us? Try making a plan with no wiggle room and watch as those obstacles come rolling down the mountain!

Those of us who’ve learned this lesson (usually the hard way!) now know that life’s more of a winding river than a straight line; complete with raging rapids, smooth sailing and even the occasional waterfall (or two) to show us what we’re really made of. With every twist and turn, we get little glimpses of what’s coming our way, with every obstacle or opportunity we meet, there’s comfort in knowing that, no matter how good or bad it gets, the current will always keep us moving forward.

So here it is: Focus on opportunities and tune out the obstacles. In fact, let’s take the word obstacle out of your vocabulary! Pick it up by its squirmy little britches and drop kick it out the nearest window. Once he’s road pancake you can make room for your new best friend— opportunity. From here on out, every boulder that comes down the mountain, every time life comes out a-swingin’ it’s just opportunity knocking at your door, reminding you of everything you’re capable of.

If we know the river of life is where it’s at, you have one thing to ask yourself: what are you still doing standing on the sidelines? Get in there! You’ll be surprised how quickly the current can pull you toward all the success and opportunity that’s waiting for you downriver that you would never have known was there if you hadn’t jumped in.

Expect to succeed.

Be confident, and get in the game with whatever you’ve got.

The next time life throws an opportunity in your way (see what we did there?), take a breath and remember that the key is to tweak your mindset from “It won’t work” to “I sure hope this works” to “OF COURSE THIS WILL WORK!”

And in the worst of cases, as Harv always says, “Action always beats inaction,” and he tends to know what he’s talking about … so JUMP IN!!!

Happy Paddling!

-Your Peak Potentials Team

Now it's your turn! Do you think you can take on this new mindset?  Can you "jump in" when new opportunities arise? Tell us your thoughts!

Tough Economy Who?

Dollar Beat Up Tough Economy Who?

In today’s tough economy… wait… we can’t finish that sentence without wanting to come unglued. Enough with sentences that start with “In today’s tough economy.” There’s still money everywhere, you just have to find the drive to keep looking for it!

We’ve already talked about how placing blame on your life circumstances (i.e. the economy) is a surefire way to find failure beyond your wildest dreams, but we haven’t talked about what some of the negatives of being rich really are. Can you think of any?

If the answer is yes, you’ve got a little bit of work to do.

If the answer is no, pat yourself on the back. You’re probably getting rich just reading this! There is no negative to being rich. There’s no downside when you compare it to not being rich!

So here’s your million dollar coaching: Stop wanting to get rich and start COMMITTING to being rich.

The biggest difference between rich people and people who aren’t, is that rich people don’t just want to be rich, they aren’t even choosing to be rich, they’re 1,000,000% committed to being rich. When you commit to something what is different? What immediately changes? Does it feel empowering or daunting?

When you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that you’re committed to being rich, you’ll put everything you’ve got into it, without reservation, without even missing a beat.

Do whatever it takes? Sure!  Put the time in until the job gets done? No problem! Risk everything with no guarantee of returns? Where do I sign up?  Read this again. This is the mindset of a rich person.

When you think you can’t put in any more… you put in whatever you’ve got left and just wait and see what our ol’ pal the universe (shout-out!) has in store for you.

What’s something that you can commit to today? Can you commit to financial abundance in 2010 and beyond? Can you commit to contributing beyond yourself? Can you commit to that FTW net worth (that’s “For The Win” for those who missed that post!) right now?

We’re committing to never start a sentence with the words “in today’s tough economy” ever again!

How about you? What are you willing to commit to right now? We want to know!

You’ve SO got this . . .

Today’s Winning Numbers Are…

Picture 11 Todays Winning Numbers Are...

 

When was the last time you reached a point in your life where you were able to take a step back and celebrate something you’ve successfully created? Getting a business off the ground, finishing a home improvement project, or even making that perfectly folded omelet…something that took focus, determination and a little bit of creative gusto. If it’s been a while, it probably says a lot about how your life is going (maybe not so great) and if it’s a common occurrence, you’re no doubt in the zone!

So here it is: if you’re constantly associating your creations, failures and successes, on your life circumstances— your job, your relationship, your bank account, your waist size, your debt, your age, your gender, your hairy toes— long term and sustainable success is likely not in the cards for you. You can blame, justify, and complain about your circumstances until you’re blue in the face, but you’ll never find the wealth and abundance you seek unless you can figure out how to change your mindset.

How do you do it? Flip it around!

What if you pinned your successes and failures on the power of YOU instead?

Stop buying ‘life lottery’ tickets, sitting and hoping and praying that one of these days the big number will finally land on you and start realizing that YOU are the sure bet, the solid wager and the winning number- all rolled into one. Forget the excuses. Get behind the wheel, put on those ridiculously cool sunglasses, rev the engine, and punch it!

When you create abundance and success beyond your wildest dreams, what does it mean? What becomes possible? What can you achieve? Who can you be?

Race toward those goals,

Your Peak Potentials Team

Now it's your turn!  What do you think of the concept of "life lottery" tickets?  Does it resonate with you?  Not buying it? We would love to hear your thoughts.  Post below!

Do You Live FTW?

FTW4 300x199 Do You Live FTW?

 

Whenever you aim to achieve a financial goal, or really any goal, it’s best to start with the end in mind. Decide in advance what your goals are going to be and put them down on paper.

Aw heck, let’s take some action instead of just talking about it!

Grab a piece of paper and a writing utensil and answer the following questions:

1. What is your desired annual income?

2. What is your desired net worth?

Done?

Great! Go ahead and add a couple more zeros on the end of both of those numbers. NOW we’re talking! Are you getting excited? Come on! Maybe just a little bit?

So here’s the question: If some people play a game to win, and others play not to lose, where do you think they’re going to end up? If your first set of numbers were calculated to just cover your mortgage, car payments, insurance, credit card debt and have a little bit of spending money on the side are you really playing for the win? Was your desired net worth a number that you were hesitant to write? Did you think of a big number first and then scale it back to a safer number? See where we’re going with this?

If you want to score a goal, you don’t hang back and play defense. You push it as hard as it can go, rock the offense and never back down. Similarly, if you’re looking to reach a financial goal, you’re going to value pushing for wealth and abundance over hanging back for survival and security. If you’re looking for a win, you don’t shoot for the moon; you shoot for that big red dot on the Jupiter!

Do you like baseball? We do! Take the San Diego (our most recent hometown!) Padres for example. The Padres started the season ranked 27th only to find themselves cracking the top 10 and then the top 5 in short succession. They’re sweepin’ it up all over the place so far this season, and it’s safe to say that they’re playing this year FTW – For The Win. Shouldn’t you be too?

Playing for the win is vital. Since your focus will ultimately determine your destination, focus on getting the win instead of avoiding the loss. Every time you’re up at bat in life, in your finances, even in your relationships, you have to play FTW. Say it out loud as your new personal mantra! Get it into your subconscious and bring it into your world. All together now: FTW!!!

Go Padres!

 

Your Peak Potentials Team

P.S. We’re curious… if you constantly played FTW, how would your life be different? Share with us below—we want to hear from you!

The Reign in Spain Falls Mainly In Your Brain.

Spain1 300x297 The Reign in Spain Falls Mainly In Your Brain.

Have you noticed the incredible year that Spain is having? First Nadal owned Wimbledon, then Spain took the World Cup and now Alberto Contador dominates the Tour de France! They’re not just having a big year; they’re having a HUGE year. Which begs the question, shouldn’t you be too?

You’ve heard the phrase, “Go big or go home,” and frankly we’re a little over it. If you’re totally committed and playing for the win, going home clearly is not an option. So from now on, we’re going to say, “Go big or go HUGE!” Why not? That’s clearly what Spain has in mind.

Really take the time to figure out how you want to live your life. How do you want to play the game? Do you want to play in the big leagues or in the little leagues, in the majors or the minors?

The next time you feel like you’re feeling unworthy or uninspired and you’re thinking small, or even just big, stop and change your mindset. Feel that Spanish reign (not a typo) and ask yourself, “What would Spain do?”

Live life to your full potential. Share your gifts. Contribute beyond yourself. Whenever we need inspiration to go HUGE, we think about Buckminster Fuller’s quote: “The purpose of our lives is to add value to the people of this generation and those that follow.”

We want to know, what’s your favorite inspirational quote? What inspires you to go HUGE? Make sure to post it below.

¡Viva España!
