The Power of Your Permanent Wealth Account

“The Power of Your Permanent Wealth Account”

How much money has flowed through your life? How much have you kept? If you haven’t kept very much money, that’s because you didn’t have a structure – until now.

In his Prosperity Consciousness course, Fredric Lehrman invites you to imagine living in a time before bank accounts and finance on paper. See yourself carrying around a leather pouch and receiving your income in the form of 10 gold coins. You buy shoes. You eat. Eventually your pouch is empty and you do work to go get 10 more gold coins. Your pouch fills and empties and fills and empties – a natural ebb and flow. Most people spend as much as they make. When their income goes up, so do their expenses.

Now, imagine that you have a SECOND POUCH. And every time you put 10 gold coins in the first pouch, you immediately take one of those coins and move it to the second pouch. You continue to add and subtract from the first pouch, but the second pouch, you NEVER spend those coins. Eventually that second pouch would grow until it’s too heavy to carry around anymore.

This is the idea of the permanent wealth account.

Open a bank account that is completely separate from all your other accounts with the sole intention of putting money in there and never ever touching the principle.

Remember the story of the goose that laid the golden eggs? You wouldn’t ever kill the golden goose, would you? You’d want to live off of the eggs. The permanent wealth account is your Golden Goose.

Having this account reinforces two very important beliefs:

Belief #1

“I have money.”

What you focus on expands. If you’re always complaining about how you’re broke and have no money, it’s hard for money to come to you.

It’s easy to receive more of what you already have. So if you already have money, it’s easy to attract more.

Belief #2

“I have more money than I’ll ever need.”

What an abundant belief! You’ll never touch the principal, which means that you have more money than you’ll ever need.

In my experience, the amount of money in my permanent wealth account is the amount of money that moves easily in my life. It’s like a magnet for more money. When I got to $10,000, I found it easier to attract another $10,000.

It’s easy to calculate 10% of your income. And it’s easy to live off of 90% of your income. You won’t even notice it’s gone, as long as you pay yourself first.

You MUST pay yourself first!!! Otherwise, that 10% will get spent. Every time you receive a check, automatically transfer 10% into your permanent wealth account. Do this until it becomes a habit and is automatic for you.

If you don’t have any income, start by contributing whatever you can. The practice of managing your money is more important than the amount.

You’ll have so much fun with this account that you’ll want to put more money in. Having fun is important! You’ll start by putting aside 10% of your income, and soon you’ll find that you can contribute even more.

The #1 Most Important Component of Your Online Marketing Blueprint

“The #1 Most Important Component of Your

Online Marketing Blueprint”

Have you ever been told that you need to “get your name out there?” Advertising experts will typically tell you that your prospects need to see your ad at least 7 times before they take action. This is the kind of thinking that leads business owners to throw away tons of their hard-earned money on branding, fancy brochures and websites, and expensive advertising (like this billboard) and wonder why they have very little to show for it at the end of the day. Unless you have a huge business like Coca-Cola, this is probably not the way to go.

In fact, even if you DO have a huge marketing budget, that doesn’t mean traditional advertising will work for you. For example, many people loved Taco Bell’s ad campaign with the Chihuahua saying “Yo quiero Taco Bell!” However, after 3 years of running ads with this Chihuahua, it didn’t help Taco Bell’s bottom line. (A friend told me that sales for Chihuahaus went up though).

What I’ve always found to be more powerful and effective than “getting your name out there” is to “GET THEIR NAME IN HERE.”

What I mean by “get their name in here,” is that it’s more important for you to have your prospects’ name and contact information than it is for them to have yours.

If they have yours and you don’t have theirs, you’re powerless. You have to sit around and hope that one day they’ll get around to calling you. How likely is that to happen? People are busy! Aren’t you? Have you ever taken someone’s card or flier fully intending to follow up and never doing so? If you have, don’t feel bad. It happens. And it happens to your prospects, too.

When you have THEIR contact information, you can proactively take steps to provide value for them and develop a relationship, which means that they are WAY more likely to do business with you when the time is right.

In order to “get their name in here,” you need what I consider to be the most important component of your online marketing blueprint: your Opt-In Page.

You might have also heard it called a Squeeze Page or a Landing Page.

An Opt-In Page is a simple website that allows your prospects to enter their contact information (usually first name and e-mail address) and give you permission to follow up with them.

Here are some examples:

21 Client Attraction Video Tips

Special Report: The Top 5 Keys to Financial Success

FREE Bi-Weekly Speaking Tips

Usually, your prospects will give you their contact information in order to get something in return, like a free report.

You’ll want to have your Opt-In Page link to a follow up system like Mail Chimp, Constant Contact, 1Shopping Cart, or Infusionsoft so that your prospects’ contact information gets entered into your system and your prospects start getting messages from you automatically.

Hopefully, I’ve inspired you to get your Opt-In Page up, if you haven’t yet. And if you do have one up already, take a moment to see if you can make it even hotter and more enticing.

Now that you have “their name in here,” you can focus on following up with and providing great value to your prospects, which makes them exponentially more likely to become your new happy clients.

3 Marketing Tips for Entrepreneurs

“3 Marketing Tips for Entrepreneurs”

It seems obvious that if you want more business, you have to do more marketing, right? However, when cash is tight, most business owners look for ways to cut costs, and often the first thing to go is money that is being spent on marketing. Then of course, fewer clients come in, and cash gets even tighter. This becomes a downward spiral that can take you right out of business if you’re not careful.

I’m NOT suggesting that you have to spend a lot of MONEY on marketing. Here are 3 tips for attracting more clients that won’t cost you a dime:

Tip #1: Keep it Personal

When you’re having a conversation, writing an e-mail, updating your Facebook page, or standing up and talking about what you do in front of a room full of people, speak directly to one person at a time.

Remember that you may be sending an e-mail to 50 people, but only one person at a time is reading that e-mail. Instead of writing “you guys” or “Hi everyone,” write as if you’re sending only one e-mail to one specific person. If you can, use that person’s first name.

When speaking to a group, make eye contact with one person and speak to that person for at least 5 full seconds before you switch to someone else.

When you do this, the people that you’re speaking to or writing to will feel more connected with you at a personal level and therefore will be more likely to refer you or buy your services.

Tip #2: Ask for Referrals

My most effective marketing strategy for the last 9 years has been asking for referrals, especially from strong strategic alliances, people who serve the same target market as I do without being in competition with me.

It takes courage to ask for referrals. However, people that are referred to you will be more likely to buy your services and usually more pleasant to work with in general.

The easiest way I know to ask for referrals is to call a potential referral partner and talk to them or invite them to lunch. Here’s a short script you can use (courtesy of Joe Stumpf of By Referral Only):

“I have some time right now to work with two new clients. Before I put an ad in the paper to attract someone that is not referred to me, I thought I would give you a quick call and offer my time to people you know who might need my help. Who is the next person you know who is most likely to need my services right now?”

Tip #3: Create & Maintain a Facebook Fan Page

Did you know that Facebook now directs more online users that Google? Facebook fan pages allow you to get your message, brand or product to more people, faster, cheaper and easier than ever before.

It doesn’t cost anything to create a Facebook fan page. The main advantages to having a fan page instead of only having a regular personal Facebook page is that:

1. You aren’t limited to how many fans you can have

2. You can advertise your business

You want to include Facebook as part of your marketing plan in a way that attracts more clients instead of just creating more busy work for yourself. In order to do that, provide your fans with regular updates that they enjoy, even something as simple as a funny or inspiring quote. Don’t bombard them with sales pitches or they will “unlike” you. Offer new fans a special gift or bonus that leads them into your sales funnel.

Here’s an example:

How to Improve Your Relationship With Money

Just like you have relationships with other people, you have a relationship with money. First, decide that your money is important to you and worth spending time with. If you’re in a relationship with someone and you tell them “you’re just not that important to me,” how long do you think they’re going to stick around?

Do you keep your cash organized in your wallet or crumpled up in wads around the house with piles of loose change? I encourage you to treat your money with respect.

When money is important to you, you are willing to spend quality time with it, just like with someone you’re dating. Schedule a regular time to give your money your full attention.

During your “Money Date,” you can find out how your money is doing by reviewing your financial statements, balancing your checkbook, or reconciling your accounts.

In the past, when I didn’t have a regular “Money Date,” I handled my finances randomly. I would balance my checkbook and pay bills when I got around to it, which meant that sometimes I was organized and sometimes my finances were in total chaos. I wasted hundreds of dollars in fees that could have been avoided if I was monitoring my finances more closely.

Now that I have regular and consistent “Money Dates,” I have clarity around my finances, and I make better decisions. I love it, and I believe that you will, too.
