Roughly $400 billion in stimulus checks have been handed out since March...
Which means there’s a lot of money flowing right now.
(Just ask anyone in the construction, real estate, or manufacturing industries)
Every supplement company I see is booming... And don’t get me started on the three 21 year olds I know that are making 7-figures trading meme crypto coins.
Yet almost no one can... - Find good people to do the work - Afford building materials - Or source materials
Inflation is through the roof... Grocery stores are hedging and stockpiling food in fears it will be more expensive next month... Used cars are in such high demand they’re going for MORE than the original purchase price... And yet... The average American has Credit Card debt of $6000... There are record numbers of people not working... And there are record numbers of people “gambling on stocks” using apps like Robinhood… How long can this Gatsby-esque world last? And what happens to you and your business when it ends? You need a plan to deal with inflation and possible post-pandemic problems. And right now... You have to be hustling hard and selling smart to get your market share of the spending. To help you earn more now and be ready for whatever may come… Here are the.. 7 Most Important Questions to Ask Yourself For the Second Half of 2021 1. What creates the most amount of profit for the least work? This question cuts right to the chase utilizing the 80/20 principle, which states… “Most results come from a small amount of your effort... and most of your efforts deliver only a small amount of results.” If you haven’t read Richard Koch’s iconic book, The 80/20 Principle - The Secret to Achieving More with Less, I highly recommend checking it out. 2. What are my big expenses that bring nothing in return? If you take a closer look, you’ll probably find one or more things you might have FELT were important… ...but on closer inspection are actually providing you almost zero benefit. 3. What high-income skill do I need to learn or hire? High income skills are those which directly result in the most money coming into your business. Sales, leadership, speaking, and copywriting are all examples of high income skills. If you’re an army of one... you MUST become great at one of these skills… and proficient at others. If you have a team... the more you can double down on skills that bring you the biggest returns, the more you will profit. 4. Why am I doing “this” – right here, right now? NOT falling into the trap of busy work is harder than we realize… Avoiding pointless tasks and meaningless chores requires frequently analyzing your activity and ruthlessly cutting whatever does not serve you. Ask this question regularly… Then delegate whatever needs to be done but isn’t worth your time… And eliminate anything unnecessary. 5. What am I not doing because it’s “too hard”? You also must be real with yourself… You already know certain things need to happen to move your business ahead. Yet they keep slipping to the back burner because they are complicated or time demanding… ...they require a greater level of skill than you may currently have... ...or they involve having painful or uncomfortable conversations. Whatever the case, stepping up and finding a way to get these things done almost always leads to rapid growth. 6. Where am I leaving money on the table? What are you ALREADY DOING that can be tweaked or improved to bring even more money into your business? Maybe your offer could be enhanced with a complimentary product or service? Your funnel improved with an upsell or three? What value or content have you created already that can be turned into a product that improves people’s lives and can be sold for profit? 7. What can you sell past customers? Past customers are your best prospects. They’ve already shown they are buyers and transacted a business relationship with you. These customers already Know Like and Trust you (if you’re doing things right) and have lower resistance to purchasing from you compared with a cold prospect. --- If you take a few minutes and answer just one of these 7 questions this week… I promise you’ll see immediate improvements. You can capitalize on the money that’s flowing out there right now… And you’ll also be in a better position if things go sideways. Success Loves Speed, Craig |
