EE020 - Don’t write that book - why you need to have fast cash strategies.

October 30, 2013

You may not like me after this one, but I had to do it.


I’ve been hearing from many experts lately that they want to write a book. Good for them! And….


Sometimes we need to get to ground zero again and really assess our priorities. And writing a book may not be one of them.


Don’t get me wrong, I think having a book is one of the best things I did in my expert enterprise. AND I only wrote it after I already had a successful business as a facilitator, seminar leader, and speaker.


In this episode I give you five really great ways to make fast cash now. I have used all of these strategies (and still do) in my enterprise. And they are:


1. Coaching


2. In-house seminars


3. Concurrent/Breakout seminars


4. Plenary speeches


5. Kindle books


What’s even more important than my list of five, is to separate your long-term from your short-term goals. I think it’s essential that you “park” your long-term strategies UNTIL you have reached your minimum short term objectives. I know that if I can’t bring in enough sales to cover my basic needs then I am fooling myself to be thinking that I should be working on my next book, or some on-line product development. “First things first”, as my Dad would say.
