This year especially I'm talking to more people stretched to the max financially.
Smart skilled business owners but with bigger money problems and more debt than ever. Also more frustrated than ever.
Certain questions always tell me upfront what's going on. Most times they're not playing by the rules but are too frustrated to see it.
What rules?? Glad you asked. This one's actually simple.
I like to use a car analogy. You show up to a race as the best driver in the world. Problem is you got stuck with a Geo Tracker and some dork got the Ferrari right next to you.
No matter how great your driving skills are or how positive your attitude is, you're gonna get smoked. Also doesn't matter if the Tracker just got the latest Pirelli tires and was topped off with racing fuel.
You can't win that race because you're in the wrong vehicle.
I was this guy for years. But I can honestly say I never drove a Tracker ;)
What I mean is I was doing seamless gutters. Then basic single family rehabs. But no matter how hard I worked I couldn't make $10,000,000 net a year doing single family rehabs. I tried. I was in the wrong vehicle to reach that goal.
So I had to reengineer. Play by the rules. I had to learn how to sell bigger, go wider, one-to-many.
If you're struggling with money now, here's what I'd do if I was you.
- What's your gross now?
- How much do you want to make a year?
- What's your timeline?
- Doing what you're doing right now, is that number even possible?
You're not going to fix this by ignoring it.
I'm not saying pull the plug today. I'm just saying look at it and analyze this life you're building.
Are you a level 10 in a level 2 opportunity?
If you are, and you're ready to get around people in the right vehicles, tell me more and let's see where it goes.
