Is This Guy’s View Of Work Too Romantic?

Ephraim Radner wrote a book on the way humans from each other in our daily interactions.  Here’s what he says about work:

“Work is a central aspect of learning wisdom.  Not only is work something done for the life of others, it is something done with others, in the sense on engagement and relationship in an immediate and ongoing way.  After our infancy and childhood and beyond our immediate family, our work is the place we learn.”

Is your workplace a school for true life wisdom or is it a place where you bury your head and try not to get in an argument:

  • A place to get a paycheck
  • A place to pad your resume
  • A place that will be a lot better once ______ finally gets the guts to fire _____

I don’t know about you but the people I talk to have a more ‘realistic’ view of work.  It’s just a thing you have to do unless you’re one of the lucky few who has the resources to land something more ‘meaningful’ or with more understanding management but it’s almost hard to sympathise with them.

I work with highly-motivated, incredibly encouraging folks who have each other’s backs.  We traded best practices and work on growing our commissions.  Again, is your workplace an arena of wisdom or a mud pit?

Another Parable About Passive Income

Quite a while back, I subscribed to Audible.com.  For the first few months it was great.  At the beginning of the month, I downloaded two audio books and I listened to a little bit every day.  At some point, this went the sorry way of all good habits.  Soon, I dropped the habit altogether.  Then usually what happens is the monthly reminder on the bank account paying for a monthly fee for credits that you will likely never spend.

So, why in the world am I telling you this story?  The main reason for telling you is that this is an opposite example of how a passive income stream works.  Instead of being debited $14.95 each month, imagine being credited $3,000.  Imagine checking your monthly statement and remembering: “Oh yeah, I totally forgot I had that check coming again this month.  Wait a minute, remind me where this is coming from again?”  Give People like this some sympathy, sometimes it gets hard to remember where all the money is coming from.  If you don’t mind running the risk of memory loss:

How To Use Fear To Sell?

If you’ve studied marketing at all, you know that fear is a powerful motivator.  It’s a much more powerful motivator when coupled with a specific catalyst.  The catalyst is clear instructions about how to avoid the fearful outcome.

In his book, Yes by Robert Cialdini, he illustrates this powerful fact by a research study about convincing college students to get a tetanus shot.  In the study, there were three groups:

  • One group of students saw advertisements showing the gruesome effects of tetanus.
  • The second group received the same advertisement with clear instructions about how to avoid them.
  • The third group was the control group and they received no information.

The group that received the clear instructions were much more likely than the other groups to get the shot.

The main point here is to know that when you’re marketing your product, you should use fear to motivate but remember to couple it with simple instructions for avoiding the fearful outcome.

Click Funnels offers clear instructions which is a proven system for avoiding the gruesome effects of:

  • Working long hours
  • Working for low pay
  • Working for a stupid boss
  • Commuting through traffic jams
  • No free time

If you’re looking for a product that offers a clear path out of the rat race, then give Click Funnels a try.

Getting Into Business Is Like Joining An Orchestra

If you wanted to be in a successful orchestra, there are a lot of wrong ways to do it:

  • You could pick up five different instruments and try to learn them all at once.  Before you know it, you’d be plucking a tuba and puckering up to a violin.
  • You could pick up a baton and pretend like you know enough to direct the entire group
  • You could decide that harmonizing with the orchestra was too hard and you’d better just be a soloist.

Or you could do it this way: Sit next to someone who knows what they’re doing and play their part along with them until you can play it for yourself.  No one jumps into ensemble music this way but people do it in business all the time.  (Oh, the know-it-alls…)

The try to run five different parts of a business at once or they hire people and act as they know how to direct them to they try to build the whole thing themselves.  We know better than them.  That’s why we’re extending you an opportunity to ‘Play along’ with us through Click Funnels:

  • You’ll never have to create your own products
  • Never set up your own websites
  • Never go through the inferno of customer service

You’ll just work with the system, play just one part and contribute to the success of the Click Funnels orchestra and reel in commissions by the $1000s, $2000s, $4000s or more monthly.  That’s the way to get into business.

Why Job Fit Matters

In their book, Overcoming the Dark Side Of Leadership, Dr. Gary McIntosh and Dr. Samuel Rima present their research on why leaders burn out.  Fascinatingly, they’ve whittled it down to one main factor: Job integrity.  Not moral failure, not too high a volume of work, not too much travel and not little pay.  They just never fit their job well enough to begin with.

It doesn’t help that lots of jobs have vague, unspecified lists of qualifications.  Companies aren’t quite sure how to put into words just what kind of candidate they’re looking for.  Once they make a hire, the candidate is sometimes under qualified, sometimes over qualified but often not satisfied.

So, how on earth can we tell you, “We think you’d be a good fit for Click Funnels?”  Here’s how, unlike most jobs, we’re not going to stick you at a desk with a list of responsibilities.  We know better than that.  It is our full time job to take you from nervous noob ness to completely confident competence as an online marketer.

We’re going to build your job with you, for you and right alongside you.  We don’t need you so we won’t breathe down your neck but we’d love to share what we have with you.  If you want work that is designed to fit you that will keep you from burning out, we need to talk.
