  • Why COPYING with a Tweak is the Best Way to Grow Your Business!
    I'll show you how copying with a tweak will grow your business faster than anything else! Originality is good in exceptional cases, but copying can be good multiplied by 10 and injected with steroids!Michael Brodie explains why:
    If it's not been done, it might well suck
    Innovators are great, but 99% of successful businesses don't innovate, they copy
    Did Apply revolutionize the world with the iPod? or was it a sexier more practical version of a Walkman with awesome marketing?
    Walmart? Sam Walton founded with one store and became the wealthiest man in the world. Was Walmart an innovator? Actually, K-Mart already had a national chain while Walmart was still in its infant stage.
    How to apply the principles of semi-replicating with a tweak to make a fortune
    As a teenager, I made money and built up capital in a ridiculously quick period of time. How? I copied. I saw the idea working, found my own locations, and boom! This episode might turn what you think you need to know on its head. As always I promise it will be packed with tips and advice without the cheap marketing spiel that we all hate to see!

  • How to Create a Personal Brand Without The BS!
    Are you a tiddler in a sea full of sharks?
    How do your customers differentiate you from your competitors?
    In this episode of SECRETS OF A VIRTUAL BOSS, serial entrepreneur and virtualstaff.ph CEO Michael Brodie talks about how to create a personal brand.
     
    "I can't stress the importance of creating a personal brand, in this era of competitiveness that we're living in, it's no longer an option, but a statement of fact that everyone is themselves a personal brand."
    Michael Brodie - Founder of www.virtualstaff.ph
     
    In the past brands were reserved for the big dogs, McDonald's, CocaCola, and other corporations. Today that field is open for us all to play on it. 
    Despite the field being open, why do 95-97% of people still fail when it comes to creating a personal brand?
    I can answer that question with many answers and in this episode, I'm going to dive into what it takes to create a personal brand.
    I'll also show you why:
    As an entrepreneur and small business owner creating a personal brand might dramatically add to your bottom line.
    How being known as an expert in your field can dramatically increase sales.
    Since becoming known as the virtual boss and branding myself alongside my company VirtualStaff.ph, many people have recognized me as the worlds #1 expert when it comes to hiring virtual assistants, and outsourcing to the Philippines.
    On top of the hundreds of people who are subscribed to virtualstaff.ph and my outsourcing blueprint training. People also pay me $2,000/Month in consulting retainers in order to get direct access to me on a 1-1 basis.  In fact, I earn $16,000-$24,000 a month in consulting fees working with between 8-12 clients at any one time. 
    It takes up about 40 hours per month, I enjoy it, and it pays decent while being very affordable for my clients. 
    I also, to the surprise of my clients, give them direct 1-1 access to my Filipino lawyer and accountant... meaning they get a whole package of expertise on tap!
    People have told me it's unbelievable helpful when you're looking to build a big business or expand aggressively.The value that my consulting clients get is probably worth a minimum of $1,000,000 in terms of cost benefits, business expansion, and having my knowledge on tap.
    I don't earn $20k a month in consulting fees by chance, instead, it was done by branding myself correctly.
    Obviously, the branding comes second to first having the experience and skills that I offer.
    But... without the branding, how could I help people?
    How would the world discover how I can help them if they need the expertise that I offer. 
    In this episode, you're going to discover what that answer is in your own life, and how by being decisive you might just dominate your market!
    (This next part is by my personal assistant. I'm not writing in the third person... It's one thing I absolutely hate because it's so pretentious)
