When I read Michael's blog post about monetizing your platform. It gave me an encouraging perspective on the world of monetization. Listen to what Michael has to say on this episode--I know there is something you can apply to your life. You may have an online or offline business or maybe you are an employee--maybe not. You have a platform no matter how small. You have a circle of friends and family. What value do you provide to your platform/circle? Let's look at it through Michael Hyatt's eyes.
