Success... Passion for an idea... The day I started listening... How I envisioned my success. How to be number one in your field... The best kept secret of the rich.
F OREWORD
Watch me do this dive.” It's almost like they're saying, 'You're the one who taught me. It will hurt for a while, you have to let it linger and do whatever it will.
One of the things that flashed in my head is that I've been a professional speaker now for 25 years and my wife and I were down in oil country, Midland Odessa, Texas during the boom. All of them got one of my books, one of the guys liked that I spoke.
Four principles: First, you have to figure out what you really want. And the self-discovery is this: You have to find out who you are.
It's when you're tired and can't go anymore, then you go even harder. You will go out and find the things you need to move your life forward. When you wake up in the morning, think about what you're going to wear before you get dressed.
If you don't do what you want today, you'll never do it because there's only today. So it is a tremendous power that you are in charge of your life through your belief system, through your thoughts. The problem is that when you do, you end up feeling like you're not in control of your life.
If you are not satisfied with what you are getting, you need to change your behavior. Because you will feel that you are not enough to take action. If you browse the web after the show, you want to see two websites.
Now that you're behind your computer, you'll want to go to multiplestreamsofincome.com. But if you build a regular list with people who really like what you do, it's a gold mine. And you're going to get the information that you're going to market to other people.
So it should be part or one of the revenue streams you generate through your website. Eventually, you'll get enough attention on your website that people will pay you for the privilege. The promise of this internet book is that you will make money within 60 minutes.
The powerful promise of my Nothing Down book is that you will make money by starting with nothing.
Sharon, let's start with the lesson in the book where you talk about the lesson called, "The rich don't work for money." In this chapter there is a specific line that talks about how the poor and the middle class work for money. You can make earned income, you can make passive income, and you can make portfolio income. It is very difficult to become rich if your income is based on your personal efforts.
So, some of my fellow accountants might jump up and down in disagreement when they hear this, but it's very simple. While his rich dad would say, "HOW can we create this asset to pay for things?". If you want a new car, you can just go out and write a check to buy your new car.
As that cash flow comes in over time, you can then use that cash flow to purchase your luxury items.
The most important thing is what you do when you receive your paycheck at the end of the day on that second Friday. You have to find the answer that suits you, and that's what it's all about. In the books you said you can't see the opportunity, it's a mental thing.
It is when someone goes from the poor father side to the rich father side. We are not a get-rich-quick company. you have the power to take control of yourself. We've shown you the things they do and it's a very simple formula that we follow.
It is an awareness of the world around them and the fact that there are many, many ways to make money and create businesses.
And it suddenly becomes the worst job in the world because they work for a madman. So in other words, if someone wants to start a business, the very first thing they have to ask themselves is "how do I get rid of this?" Most people who own and run their own businesses, Mike, don't have the faintest idea how to go about it. In other words, they are people who do it, do it, do it every day, and they do it for someone else.
So they work for the boss and one day some of them wake up and say, 'What am I doing this for? They all believe in what I call the “fatal assumption” behind every small business out there, and that is, “If I understand how to do the work, I understand how to build a business that does that work.” And it is absolutely 180 degrees from the truth. So the real question is not: “Which business do I want to be active in?” The real, first and most important question I talk about in The E-Myth is: “what is my main goal.
They started to "get rid of the boss". And then they become their own boss and, as I said before, "work for a fool." They are busy, busy, busy, busy racking their brains doing every last trivial thing in this business, which is actually the exact opposite of what they need to do.
You guys are the ones who do that awesome thing!” And the only way to do the extraordinary is if you have a system to do it. If that's true, and it can be verified over and over again in the most extraordinary companies, if that's true, then the whole idea that we're being told today about the knowledge worker, the whole idea that we have to become more intense people, of the whole idea that our assets go home every night, and that's the good news… I'm saying that flies right in the face of the truth. There is something Michael Gerber talks about called, "the tyranny of routine." I want to work in your business a little later.
There has to be a better way than this.” And that's basically how he designed the SuperCuts system. What's the one thing you could do that's impossible to do, but if you could do it, you'd transform your business in an instant?" So that's what the guy at SuperCuts asked, "What's the one thing that would I can do it and it's impossible to do it, but if I could do it, would I immediately transform my business and in the process of transforming my business transform my life?". How do I do this nonsense in an extraordinary way?” I do this by asking the impossible question.
It's called the E-Manager Myth - Why management doesn't work and what to do about it.
Thousands upon thousands of people are going to create the e-myth of their local businesses. Well, it all starts with the idea of the company which is E-myth Academy. The second thing you do after reading The E-Myth is to ask yourself the question, "what do I want from my life?" Forget about your business, Matt.
If the E-Myth blows your mind, which it does, and if it doesn't - forget it. But if it does, then you need to ask yourself this next question, "do I want to share the E-Myth with small business owners around the world?". And bring the E-Myth message to millions and millions of small and medium-sized businesses.
I want someone to be able to walk out tomorrow and say, “This is the E-myth.
It's a business you don't have to worry about going out of style because it's been around since the beginning of time. So you're not going to come up with anything so radically new that it's going to change the world. But what you said, something I want to focus on right here is, you said that a lot of times when amazing businesses are created .., people think it's a joke at first.
And that's, if you think this could happen, don't worry.. I thought it could, and if people just hit themselves over the head and said, "Great idea, it'll work," I'd be more skeptical than if people say, "Well, I don't know if it's really going to work." It's very interesting that you bring that up because on our show we've interviewed great entrepreneurs, great authors, and it seems like some of the most successful people out there failed the most and their ability to bounce back was really. If you are willing to invest them, you won't have to invest that much money.
It's shrouded in mystery, so they'd rather not do it than risk making a mistake.
