Wisdom From A Million Dollar Earner: “14 Things I Wish I Knew When I Started”

Reply back w/ your feedback.

So before you go rushing into your
busy day of accomplishing tasks,
closing out the work week, and getting ready
for the weekend–I’m going
to suggest you take a moment to
STOP & Read THIS.

Then read it again and again
over this all week. It’s THAT VALUABLE.

Here’s 14 Things I Wish I Knew When I Started My Online Business
That Now Generates Millions Of Dollar

1. Build Your List (#1 Asset). No excuses. Focus on this daily.

Hire someone to setup your opt-in box if needed. Yet whatever you do, make
your email subscriber list your #1 priority. This is your NUMBER 1
asset when it comes to making money online.

You dream of making “Push Button Money” – well, sorry to
burst your bubble it takes a little work to get there and be like me 🙂

You gotta be building your list. DAILY.

If you are part of a home business, network marketing company –
do NOT build their list. You need to build yours.

(This was one of the biggest mistakes I made in my business
and it’s cost me at least $250,000+ in lost sales.)

If you need a shortcut to building your list without learning how to,

Get your traffic, build your list – STARTING TODAY.

2. Building an audience is faster and easier than ever before. Thanks
to email marketing and social media you can broadcast your message
to thousands of people with a single click.  Anyone with an internet
connection can now build an audience and grow their business faster
than ever before.

Start building your audience, i have an amazing group – YOU of subscribers
that i can communicate to daily, i add value to their lives, and i direct them
to whatever i want them to. Imagine that power, control and influence at
the tiips of your fingertips.

You build an audience by adding value – i spend 30mins to 90 mins each
day thinking, reflecting then pouring my heart out to write to YOU.

If you need to create squeeze pages, sales funnels, LeadPages.net

3. Start outsourcing early on.  Delegate. Delegate. Delegate.

Don’t worry. I’m not talking about hiring a full-time VA. Not yet anyway.

But I want you to STOP doing all the stuff that you can outsource affordably
on sites like Fiverr, oDesk, Microlancer, and PeoplePerHour.

Graphic Design. Ebook Covers. Audio Editing. Video Editing. Tech Stuff.
Setting up Your Membership Site. Setting up Aweber.

You name it. Someone online can do it a LOT more affordably than you might think.

4. Spend 20% of your time learning. 80% of your time DOING.

Become a PRODUCER.

Not just a CONSUMER.

OK ?

The doing part is what grows your business. And what you’ll
find is that the best way to learn about business is just
doing it. Action trumps all.  Action trumps you sitting
there wasting time on silly facebook and twitter.

That being said – you should follow me on BOTH those
sites because i post personal stuff there >

5. Growth ALWAYS lies OUTSIDE your comfort zone.
I used to hate / dislike is a better term, i used to dislike making
videos – then i realised that the more videos i make the more
money i make – to the tune of $10’s of thousands of dollars
per video…

Crazy – huh ? Well imagine i never did that – then look at
how much money i would have lost…

6. Investing In Myself More : I’ve done this from day 1 i guess,
even when i had no money, i still begged and borrowed to get there…

I love investing in myself – to attend conferences, seminars, on average
i invest around $10,000 PER MONTH into my mind to make sure i am
at the top of my game, emotionally,mentally in my business and in my personal life….

May – probably went to seminars/workshops worth around $40,000+.

June – sold out my own $5,000 Per Person LIVE Workshop + i’m attending
Dean Jackson’s 2 day mastermind event *he’s the guy who invented squeeze pages*

August – spoke and attended a $30,000+ PER PERSON mastermind in Mexico.

See – i do, what i teach. I attend events, and if you want fast-success, you need to!!!

If you can’t afford high end events YET, then go to
Charlotte for the Empower Network
conference / experience…

7. Stop worrying about what other people think. The only people who
are ‘liked’ by everyone are those who do nothing, say nothing,
and ultimately accomplish nothing. I’m at the point in my life where
I really couldn’t give a shit about what anyone thinks of me…

I do – say – create – think whatever i want. Don’t let those that have no
results dictate you and your future… I used to let my cousins / uncles
affect my behaviour cos they would always make fun of me when i was
trying to get rich on the internet…

If you feel like people aren’t supporting you – cut them out of your life.
Love your family, choose your friends. I am your friend. 🙂

Find / Create YOUR tribe of raving fans and serve them with massive value.

Email kicks the crap out of everything else, i’ve now built a solid
MULTIPLE 7 Figure Business and my foundation is email marketing.

It’s a major shortcut that will allow you to build a six-figure online
business WITHOUT becoming a world-class copywriter.

In fact – i’ve never even gone thru a complete e-mail copy
course, thru daily writing to YOU i’ve honed certain formulas…

When you email your subscribers consistently each day with fun,
personalized emails packed with value, lessons that you have learned,
your own life challenges, successes, your students success

…you become the real friend, a trusted authority, the expert, the guru
that they follow, stalk, and buy stuff you recommend.

They will happily buy from you based on the RELATIONSHIP
that you’ve built with them. The money is not in the list,
the money is in the RELATIONSHIP you have with them…

The value that you’ve provided, how you make em feel is
the asset.

EACH and every day i ask myself – what is the MOST Valuable
thing i can share with you, then i write it. It takes 30-90 mins to write
each day. Then i hit send.

Each e-mail broadcast, i send out to my list is worth
around $10,000 – $15,000+ per day – to me…

And guess what ? My list is actually way tinier than most of the biggest
“names” in the marketplace…

But VERY VERY RESPONSIVE 😉

and Robert Hirsch have taught me this well and constantly remind me that
you have to provide 10-20x more value than you price your products and
services.

I’ve done that and created “Million Dollar Offers” on the “fly”…. One of my
last businesses i took from ZERO to $1MILLION in less than 18 months
and it’s because i always ask myself —

How can i make the person who is buying my product or service
feel like this is the best damn offer they ever got! Master creating
Irresistible Offers and you will write your own paycheck for LIFE!

Even when a new subscriber or member joins my list – i hired my
most “Trusted Advisor” who is one of my 6 Figure Earners – success story
to help new members get started the correct & profitable way.

You can request a free strategy session that’s giving a “real” valuable
coaching session, no one else does or gives away. Makes me more unique
in the marketplace. Model after what i do.

10. Email your subscribers 1-3-5 times per week. I email daily.

You open then, read them, take action and buy stuff i recommend.

I teach you, to email daily. I write daily, so you can get into the habit
of writing daily.

Think about this, you have a BEST FRIEND
or a FAMILY member – do you like talking to them for few mins each day ?

Of course you do, i certainly do – i may know hundreds of people, but
there’s a handful of people i like communicating, emailing, texting, skyping,
fb-ing, each day…

Email is like talk radio. People will tune in each day if you educate, inspire,
and entertain. This is how you build your fan base / your following / your tribe.

I know my e-mail is super-uber-responsive because i talk in a way which
adds value, i am their friend, trusted advisor and teacher.

Here’s a little pic of ONE of my lists and you can see the response rate.
I can get as much as 19.31% OPEN Rate on a “Mass E-mail List”…

Where industry average – even for “Guru” marketers, get 3% – 7%.

This proves my e-mails work, on top of that – the daily revenue that my business
EMPHASISES how i write – my emails turn into money…

Each day i keep a close eye on the numbers and at the time of writing
this you can see – these are daily numbers – sales – profits that i get
notified DAILY on my phone….

Each day it’s an average of over $10,000+ PER DAY in revenue.

Magic happens when you can create money out of thin air like this.

It’s all possible – don’t quit. Don’t stop.

Turning one-off visitors into leads who become RAVING fans and then
loyal, raving BUYERS.

Because of this – one of my highest paid clients has spent over
$110,000 with me. Think about how powerful and effective that is….

My Mantra : Build Your List Daily. Email Your List Daily.

(I sometimes email 6-7 times per week~) mostly it’s 5-6 days per
week, people unsubscribe and that’s ok too – i rather have less people
that are more higher quality than just mass numbers.

And i view it as their loss when they unsubscribe – you shouldn’t
let unsubscribes or complaints hold you back – build your biz.
build your tribe. Get that money. it’s there. So DO IT 🙂

When i started out and didn’t have much money i wasted alot of time
on twitter and facebook, i should have found the resources to invest
and master paid traffic…

Ultimately Paid Traffic – helped me make my first million in sales at 23 years old.

Paid traffic is the fastest-scalable-most-

predictable for you to ca$h in.

If I were to start all over today, I would use SoloAds & Fb Ads & maybe another 1-2
to rapidly grow my subscriber list, amplify my content, and sell more products
and services..

Right now – my business is built on paid traffic which means each and
every month i make consistent income – just last 6 months i’ve averaged over
$300,000 per month in revenue – which works out to be over $10k per day..

Mashallah – thanks to God 🙂

It’s NOT relied on Google, Facebook, Calling Cold Leads or Blogging,
or SEO – simply me and my e-mail list.

12. The Power Of Simplification. Simply everything.
Your business model. Your products. Your home-biz.
Your blog. Your payment system. Everything.

I used to want to do local marketing, then niche sites,
then software creation, and a whole bunch of other stuff…

Now i stick to what i’ve mastered.

Home Business. Driving Traffic. High-End Workshops.

The more simple something is – the more easily you can
scale it, granted it does get complicated, now i want to build a
$50 million company in the next 3-5 years and now i have to
become “corporate” xyz lol.

Sounds icky-sucky – but i’m gonna embrace it.

A lifestyle business can get you to a few million dollars
just like how i have currently – so simplify.

13. Focus.

Then FOCUS. FOCUS.

This is the secret sauce behind every successful
entrepreneur. When i stopped chasing 10 different ways to make
money, and focused on 1-3  – that’s when i really hit it off..

Some people join 5-10 different home businesses rather than joining one or two
and ACTUALLY making them work.

Focus in chunks of 20mins – 45 mins. Use a timer. Close the door.
Go to starbucks. Get some quiet time. OR listen to some YouTube calm
music with headphones and ZONE OUT.

If you are all over the place – then focus. And tell yourself :

I AM A GENIUS – I FOCUS AT WILL.

That’s another one of my mantras 🙂

14. And most importantly… HAVE FUN.

As much as i want to make $50 million and yada yada yada, i know deep down
the real success is embracing the journey – going thru the challenges, going thru
the ups and downs, learning, growing, adding value, stretching yourself to go
to the next level….

That’s why even now – i don’t always take things seriously lol. You gotta
smile, enjoy, live life as it’s meant to be lived.

Gotta shower now..just got back from 30 mile
mountain bike ride…best part of my day..
