Andviv-
Good to see you! Haven't seen you around much lately and always enjoy your input.
I suppose maybe I am getting ahead of myself- I should grow the business to make it into an B instead of focusing on creating a B right away. (It is close to being as automated as I can currently imagine it can be.) Once it is a B then it can become a fastlane B (hopefully). Seems to me that a fastlane idea is one that revolves around a viral transmission of whatever it selling-and that transmission is largely passive. This leads me to believe that I need to incorporate a heavy web presence at the very least and maybe focus on growing our systems into a franchise.
As I understand it the route to the fastlane is a natural progression from "S" to "B" to a fastlane "B" ("I" in the kiyosaki model). Right now we have the self run property management business highly dependent on your expertise, drive, effort , and ambition.
Now let's add a healthy dose of process, procedure,manuals, and checklists. Plus some employees to follow and use these tools (AKA Building your expertise into the system). By leveraging other peoples time (Duplicating one's self) we have moved to the "B" level.
Now let's duplicate the entire business (Systems set) via franchising or even satellite offices following those same procedures. Rinse and repeat
OR we can duplicate your system set in the form of Books, seminars, and videos
Rinse and repeat
OR we could duplicate the systems set via the internet by sharing your knowledge via an online forum /blog where like minded individuals can discuss, debate, etc... (NOD to MJ)
The primary step to the fast lane level appears to be the duplication of the systems set. The method of that duplication and the speed at which it can be reproduced and disseminated will dictate how fast you go in the fast lane.
It seems getting to the fast lane depends on the "method of transport" and not the "passenger". I'm trying to think of an idea that doesn't fit this paradigm and can't come up with one.
-A barber can start a "how to cut hair at home" series of videos.
-A doctor-WEBMD is an example.
-A taxi driver can sell advice on how to transverse the streets of a city most efficiently at certain times.
- A prostitute....We all have the internet ...
So I guess you just have to pick your vehicle.
