Real Money Talks

Offering a digital magazine to your audience reaches more than readers and gives you the benefit of making money. Investing in an adequate campaign of online publishing provides you the opportunity to attract advertisers and providers.

Today, I’m discussing the ways to make money with your digital magazine. Millennials and Gen X populations prefer reading online more than print, so why not invest in appealing content to generate more advertisers and business partners?

“Digital magazine is extraordinary; it allows you to reach advertisers and providers.”

In this episode of Real Money Talks:

• How to use an easy-to-access app that encourages your audience to read your magazine
• Asking previous clients to contribute content to your magazine
• Providing excellent photos, a great bio, and a landing page with opt-in to build your database
• Developing ways to increase readers by offering interviews of expert opinions

Having a mentor or coach is part of the path to success. Everyone from athletes to musicians use mentors to help guide them. Once you are clear about what you want, you need to pay attention to who you listen to. You don’t want to fall prey to a bunch of hype or script readers. Choosing a mentor should be based on knowing where you want to be and then finding someone who is a step above that.

Aiming high will motivate you and hopefully push you beyond that level. Decide on the outcomes you want, then get out of your own way and allow yourself to be helped.

Co-working spaces are gaining in popularity as the younger generation, particularly millennials, want a lighter, more convenient option. They are moving away from the concept of bigger and more. They don’t want to be burdened with all of the stuff that comes with a big home and a big corporate office. They want the convenience of working when and where they want while still having the services and amenities they need.

On today’s episode, I’m going to discuss what a co-working space is and the advantages that many millennial entrepreneurs enjoy by working in a co-op setting.

"The millennials just want a place they can go to and work. They don't want to be bogged down with a lot of stuff." – Loral Langemeier

In This Episode of Real Money Talks: 

• How coworking spaces are the future of work.
• Amenities and advantages of using a co-working space
• How millennials want easier access and less stuff
• Advantages of having a Nevada address and lease
• Fun aspects of co-working including coffee, wine, networking and collaboration

Having a business strategy can be the difference between running a profitable business and having to close the doors. Do you have a business strategy? What is your strategy for this year? If you don't have a clearly defined strategy, it is something worth spending time thinking about. Do you have what Jim Collins refers to as a BHAG or big hairy audacious goal for your business this year?

Today, I talk about the difference between having a strategy and tactics. A strategy is a big plan and goal for your business and the tactics are the little things that get you there. I also talk about having a measurable strategy. If you can't measure it and quantify it, there is no way to know if it is working. I also talk about stepping into the future and embracing different channels and technology instead of just doing the same thing over and over. 

"Think about what you are doing, what you are attached to, and how it can be different."

In This Episode of Real Money Talks: 

• Importance of business strategy and big goals
• Using different channels to promote your business
• Having the ability to measure and test strategies
• Focusing on modernizing industry specific models
• Finding the thing that drives cash to the bottom line

Traditional families have been changing over time. Things just aren’t the same as the days of Ward and June Cleaver. Statistics show that 62% of families are either blended or headed by single parents. I am a single parent, by choice, and this choice comes with challenges and a sense of freedom.

Today, I’m talking with one of my clients, Melissa Mackey, who became a single parent and asked me how to be effective and get it all done.  We discuss how no one really understands what it is like until they do it. We also talk about dealing with guilt, freedom, and allowing ourselves the space and time to do what we need to do to run our businesses and keep ourselves healthy.

Freedom will never happen if we don’t allow ourselves that space and time.

In This Episode of Real Money Talks: 

• Practicing the art of receiving and keeping our cups full
• Allowing yourself space and time by not feeling guilty
• Traveling with babies and people offering to help
• Teaching our children what it takes to be fearless
• How nothing can really prepare you for the journey

Most entrepreneurs struggle with learning and doing many things at the same time. Especially, when they are just starting out. They are also usually short on time and soon learn that outsourcing and finding people who specialize in the one thing that they need is the best way to go. Still, that leaves them with the issue of finding and managing tons of different specialists.

Today, I talk with a friend and colleague of mine who has developed a solution for this very problem. Alexander Ford offers a done-for-you solution where he finds, hires, and manages all the specialists for you. This solution results in cost savings. He also develops an incremental strategy so that new businesses can focus on what they need most, and in the correct order.

"A results focused strategy is more efficiently executed with a partner that implements your specific plan."

In This Episode of Real Money Talks: 

• Challenges of finding and hiring specialists without prior knowledge
• Developing an incremental strategy that serves your business best
• Having a results focused specialty developed by a knowledgeable partner
• Creating a hard infrastructure and modernizing technology
• Turning a website into a “cash register”
