If you have attended one of the two HOT SEAT sessions I’ve had so far, you know what to expect from the third one coming up on Thursday, January 21, 2010.
Top on my guest list is Olu Joseph, the man who stepped out of paid job and built a 50 million naira business in a rapid fire manner. The Abuja-based Netpreneur is looking forward eagerly to occupying the hot seat and share some of his successful strategies with the attendees.
One of the courses I enjoy teaching most is Information Marketing. I love it because it delivers instant results.
When I first ran the course in its present format in April 2008, all the 200 plus attendees were swept off their feet. They were amazed at how easy it is for anyone with the knowledge they were acquiring to turn their ideas into raw cash.
Many of them stepped out immediately to act on the information. And that was how Efe Imiren, Onome Maureen and many others got their break. Today, others have joined their swelling ranks, creating a lifestyle that is the envy of many.
If you’re a business owner and you have never experienced the joy of creating cash on demand –– that is cash when you need it –– then consider yourself fortunate to be reading this article.
I’m about to pull the curtains apart and reveal the men and women whose mastery of marketing helped me to overcome the challenges of cash flow problem in my own business.
But before I do that, I’d like to make a few things clear. When I first started to study marketing, I made the mistake of buying any book that has the word ‘marketing’ written anywhere on its cover jacket.
The first thing you need to understand about selling your knowledge for profit is: why do people buy stuffs? If you can discover this secret, then you have acquired the map describing the location of all the rivers flowing with all the money you will ever need.
Think about it. If you know exactly why I will buy that funny looking stuff in a small bottle with a strange smell which you claim will make me feel and look younger than my age, do you think such knowledge will be to your advantage?
Without looking into a crystal ball, I know what attracted you to this article. It’s the bold promise: how to sell your knowledge for profit.
I agree, you’ve always read my column. But when you dig deep down, the thought that you will discover the secret of how to sell your knowledge for profit is the strong motivation, the magnet, for your choosing to read this article right now.
Trust me, I will not disappoint you. I’ll show you how to accomplish that goal. In fact, I will fulfill that promise in a way that you’ll be totally satisfied. But be warned: the secret does not consist of a few sentences.
If you’ve been paying attention to me in the last three instalments of this series on Simple System That Pumps Money Into Your Bank Account Like Invisible Paymaster, you clearly understand what tithing and sowing mean by now and why it is absolutely important for you to start doing them consistently.
So let’s move on to the remaining two items on our 7-point key to staying connected to your SOURCE.
The two items are Believing in your SOURCE and Saying with conviction what your SOURCE says you are [in His Word].
Believing in your SOURCE
GOD and not man, is your SOURCE of supply. Don’t ever forget that.
Sowing –– the act of placing seeds in or on the ground for future growth –– is the secret of changing the story of your life from whatever it is now to a brighter, more colourful one.
And as I stated in last week’s instalment of my series, Simple System That Pumps Money Into Your Bank Account Like Invisible Paymaster, anyone who is not critically ill has something to sow.
When I started writing on this subject last June –– see Volume 4 No 10 dated June 23, 2009 –– most of my readers could never have imagined that what I boiled down to three simple steps could be as complex and as demanding as what I’m exposing them to now.
I’m pretty certain that many of them would have thought that at the most, I would cover everything about the topic in two or three editions. But we have had 12 instalments since we started and we’re still counting.
One of the greatest benefits of staying connected to your SOURCE is that you’ll get the confidence to be fearless when He opens the windows of heaven and pours out His blessing on you to the extent that you won’t have enough room to receive it.
If you missed my column in last week’s edition, you need to read it first before this one so that you will grasp the awesome truth that I’ll be sharing with you here.
