Just remember these 4 letters in Tim Ferris’s’ wildly famous book, The 4 Hour Workweek, he uses an acronym. An acronym that if followed can help increase your income, work less and do more of the things you love. The acronym is: D.E.A.L.
D is for definition. Define your goals. Break down your reason why you want to achieve them. How much will you need to earn monthly? E.g. I’d like to be earning at least $10,000 per month. I can quit m y J.O.B. at $5,000 per month. I want this so I can spend more time with my family, travel to Costa Rica, Italy and so I can afford to surprise my parents with a luxury vacation to Switzerland, somewhere they’ve always wanted to go but couldn’t afford. These goals may mean nothing to you. So, you’ll have to write out the definition of what you need and want personally. Try to be specific. Next up:
E is for elimination. What can you eliminate in your job or life right now that may be holding you back? Stressing and working you to the bones needlessly? On an episode of Tim’s show he runs on iTunes, he was helping a woman that was aiming to earn more with her Yoga studio. A big why for her was she wanted to be able to afford to send her parents to their home country. She needed somewhere around $5,000 per month to do that and have the lifestyle that was ideal for her. In her marketing, they looked at what was bringing her sales in like FB, Sending messages, Email, things like this were barely bringing any new folks in her class. Yet, by far, people she called on the phone, they happily paid and showed up for the class. So, guess what, eliminate all the other work. Just focus on making the phone calls which brings us to the next point:
A is for automation. This is likely one reason you’re drawn to an Internet based type of business. The automation possibilities are endless. It’s truly amazing. For the Yoga woman, she could hire others to make these phone calls. That would be the first step to automating her business. Later, she could have others run the yoga classes. She could develop her business into a franchise, the sky’s the limit. This takes us to number 4:
L is for Liberation. The end goal. Your ideal income is coming in. The non essentials are eliminated. Everything you can is automated. You’re doing the things you want, whether that be travel, more time with the family, treating the people you love and not having income worries any more.
Wouldn’t that feel nice? I hope this helps. It’s a great little acronym to remember isn’t it? If you’re open to checking an online business that’s really built around this entire D.E.A.L formula, I’d love for you to check this out.
