TIME TO GET FOOLISH WITH YOUR FINANCES

Foolish Adventure Show listener and (now) contributor, Tom Wachowski of YourMoneyHouse.com joins me in this episode to talk about your money and what to do with it to gain more freedom in your life.

Tom and I talk about the cultural script of “spending equals success” and how to overcome societal pressures to live the life that’s truly important to you. 

You’ll learn about finding your BIG WHY for financial freedom. 

What you won’t find in this episode is stock tips or specific investments for you to put your money into. No, this episode is about your Money Mindset and Money Methodologies. I do spend some time sharing how I investment my money — hint: it’s about control.

If money and the keeping of money is important to you, then dive right into this episode.

HOW FAR DO YOU GO TO PROVIDE CUSTOMER SERVICE?

In this episode, guest co-host, Lain Ehmann, asks, “Is the customer always right?”

As business owners we have to walk a tight-rope between serving our customers and serving ourselves. There are some altruistic sentiments floating around that says if you serve your customers completely then you’ll prosper as a business owner.

I don’t think this is true. You shouldn’t leave a job to gain your freedom from one boss only to enslave yourself to thousands of other bosses in the form of customers. But…

We still have to give great customer service. What does that even mean? 

How can we have a life and still serve our customers? 

When is the customer right and when is the customer wrong?

Lain and I go into these questions and more so have a listen.

And enjoy your Foolish Adventure,

Tim

THIS IS A CAN’T MISS EPISODE!

Justin and Joe have become a major tourist attraction online because they have done something many, including myself, thought impossible — they actually make a lot of money from Adsense Sites. Like to the tune of over $44,000 in January!

These two guys have legitimately built a business around Adsense sites that can be replicated by you if you’re willing to put in the work. You don’t have to completely do what the Adsense Flippers have done you can just build a small group of Adsense sites to bring in $500 or $1000 a month.

Listen in to the show to hear how they do it. I think you’ll be blown away just as much as I was.

Enjoy your Foolish Flipping,

Tim “No Sense” Conley

My friend, Leslie Samuel, disagreed with me about day jobs sucking. He loves his and wanted to come onto the show to defend the honor of great day jobs everywhere.

This episode is a conversation about keeping your job (if you enjoy it) while building an Internet business. He and I do disagree about jobs and businesses especially since I believe the good things that can be found in a job can be replicated or even better in your own business. 

Leslie believes and is living the opposite. He gets great enjoyment from his day job and it really couldn’t be replicated in his business.

Maybe we’re both right. Listen in and you decide if you want to be on Team Entrepreneur or Team Day Job/Entrepreneur.

Enjoy your Foolish Employment,

Tim Conley

Are you driving down the Financial Slowlane?

Where you possibly get wealthy after 30, 40 or 50 years of saving.

Or worse… are you on the Financial Sidewalk?

Where you’ll never generate wealth because every penny you make is spent and then some.

Special guest, MJ DeMarco is here to share how you can get off the wrong wealth road and onto the Millionaire Fastlane. 

Get rich quick is possible. We see it all the time, but it doesn’t come from buying lottery tickets or purchasing an ebook on how to get rich in social media.

There is a proven path — a fastlane, if you will, to creating wealth quickly.

How quickly? In a decade or less. 

“Ten years?!!! That’s a long time!” you might be thinking. Making wealth quickly (3-10 years) can and has been done many times over. Your alternative is to maybe get rich in 30 years or worse… never.

In this episode, MJ shares his take on wealth and how to make it. It’s funny, even though I never talk about getting rich from an online business and MJ talks about getting rich quickly, he and I have very similar beliefs about Time, Income and Mobility.

We both want you to have wealth so you can have time freedom, income freedom and mobility freedom.

Jump into the show and then go check out the book, The Millionaire Fastlane by MJ DeMarco. It’s one of my top business books of 2011 and ranks as one of my favorite business books. Also, follow MJ on Twitter: @MJDeMarco

Enjoy your Fastlane Adventure,

Tim “Speedy” Conley

SIX FIGURES IN 12 MONTHS OR LESS…
IGNITE YOUR CONSULTING BUSINESS WITH RAIN MAKER MODEL: REVERSE ENGINEERED ACQUISITION.

Have you learned anything about Internet marketing?

Have you set up email opt-ins on your website and made an autoresponder series for it?

Do you know how to set up Facebook fan pages that get people to like a page?

What about getting your site to rank for a keyword phrase or two?

If you really want to quit your job and get control over your Time, Income and Mobility then becoming an Internet marketing consultant may be your ticket.

In this episode, guest Johan Woods grills me about how I made a good living as a marketing consultant. Johan wants to build a successful Internet marketing consulting company and I give him a roadmap that will get him there.

NO HOLDING BACK

I don’t hold anything back, but something I realized he didn’t ask in the episode was how much money he could make. With doing marketing work for other businesses, especially offline, local businesses, you can charge up to $1000 per month before you get to too much price resistance — though you’ll probably need to have some lower priced packages when you first get started.

BIG INCOME, FEW CLIENTS

If you got just five clients at $1000 per month (this isn’t as hard as you may think), you’re making $5000 per month part-time (about 5 to 10 hours per month per client), which is significantly higher than the median household income in the US.

With some hustle you could land ten clients and still be working less than full-time. But…

Instead of spending all that money on your lifestyle, you should invest most of it into systems and staff that can help you increase your revenue and free up even more of your time.

The worst situation to be in is to fall victim to the rollercoaster of getting clients, doing the work and then needing to go find more clients.

OUTSOURCING & SYSTEMIZATION

Systems and staff (outsourced on a need-by-need basis) will help you make this into a sustainable income that will fund the business idea that you’re truly passionate about.

I cover how I outsourced work to experts so I could focus on the high-level strategies and customer relationships.

Warning: working with wonderful clients can be addicting and you may end up like me, 13 years later and still loving the work.

Listen to episode if you find this concept appealing. If you really like the episode and want to learn more, please leave comments or questions below. Johan and I may do a part two in a month to this to see what has transpired since recording this.

Enjoy your Foolish Consulting,

Tim

HOW A TECHIE/PHOTOGRAPHER/DESIGNER MAKES WEBSITE GRAPHICS THAT ROCK

This conversation touches on principles and purposes of web design and how graphics make a huge difference in the way a website visitor perceives your online business. We also talk about design software and what you should use and why.

Also, we talk about the Foolish Guide to Creating Website Graphics which we’ll be releasing for sale on Tuesday January 10th.

This is a great training program for those who don’t know how to make web graphics, but want to have the basic skills need to quickly crank out their ideas.
