Hi all,
I want to share with you a way of looking at the world that has helped me attract the fastlane into my life..Hope you find it useful...
For as long as I remember I always wanted to "make lots of money" I was literally obsessed with it..The problem is the more I dreamt about making money and the more I tried to make money, the more I failed. I literally had these dreams of being a successful entrepreneur with a bank balance full of cash while at the same time being in 30k+ worth of debt and living at home with my parents..MJ mentions it but money really did become like the mischievous cat..I chased and chased and ended up getting into more debt..No matter how much action I took, much to my frustration money would totally completely and utterly elude me...I simply couldn't build an kind of decent income...
Anyway a good while ago..it occurred to me that the problem lied in my desire to "make money"..I was completely, totally and utterly focused on the wrong thing...every business venture I tried and failed started on the my own selfish premise of how much money I was going to make out it...Never once did I genuinely consider whether the product or service would meet the needs of those buying it...
Thankfully I finally got it...Money is simply a byproduct of solving people's needs or problems...I realised if I could solve a need or problem I would get paid for it...
A few years ago much focus changed entirely from "how can I make lots of money" to "how can I solve a large number of people's needs"...The only business prism I view the world now is looking for peoples problems..Because if someone has a problem then you can provide a solution and they will be more than happy to pay you for it..
How does this work in reality? Keep your mind open to the various types of media, tv, internet, magazines, etc and start to notice when people are describing their problems or needs...See if you can be the person to provide the solution...
For example I was in another business forum the other day and I saw someone commenting in a post mentioning how "DESPERATE they were for solar power leads"..In the past I wouldn't have noticed this..Now I see it as business opportunity..This person had a business installing solar panels in people's homes and they were clearly in NEED of business leads...With a little bit of lateral thinking I/You could set up call call centre or PPC campaign, generate leads for people interested in installing solar power in their homes and then SELL them to the person who NEEDS to leads..Granted it would be a lot of work but I am just trying to demonstrate that there are literally hundreds of thousand of businesses/people with unmet needs.
If you are the person to fulfil their needs money will flow to you naturally...Just train your mind to start noticing the needs people have and then provide the solution..
Hope you enjoy
