#1. I love my clients/customers. I really do.
#2. I love when you guys contact me to ask for advice/tips. It is truly flattering and motivates me to work even harder.
But…
Please, please, please stop asking me this question:
“What is the minimum I have to do to make X amount of dollars?”
Please. Stop.
Please stop selling yourself short.
Please stop selling your customers/clients short.
People who make money, people who create a positive impact on their corner of the world, people who are TRULY happy in their business (which is a frighteningly small number) ask a completely different question.
I know someone is going to be successful in whatever they pursue when they ask me this instead:
“Mike, what can I do to change [INSERT TYPICAL NICHE AVATAR]’s life?”
Sounds a bit new-agy doesn’t?
Well Mr. Skeptical Cranky Pants… it isn’t.
It’s a question based in solid principles of economics.
Remember: You don’t create money out of thin air. You take it from someone who is willing to give it to you.
In other words: 100% of your focus should be ON THAT PERSON and trying to figure out what you can do to make their lives so awesome they WANT to give you money!
Do that and you win.
Example:
FreelanceCopywriterMike.com came about because my email list kept asking me if I knew of an inexpensive, fast, high quality copywriter who I could recommend.
Nobody came to mind.
So I built this business.
And the profits have been flowing ever since.
Instead of trying to find out ways to jack up prices, I’ve focused on building systems to keep costs low on my end.
The result:
FreelanceCopywriterMike.com has served over 425 clients since Feb of this year.
Luckily, you are reading this on a Monday.
That means you have just enough time to tweak that mindset of yours and start focusing OUTWARD.
And it also means you have just enough time to contact me before this week’s writing schedule fills up.
Go to: FreelanceCopywriterMike.com
And discover why over 400 entrepreneurs have chosen me to write their sales copy and make them more sells than ever before.
To your success,
Mike
