What if you could have an idea for a business, implement it and within the first 30 days have your first 5 figure weekend and continue on to have massive success with your business. In this post I’m going to show you how I was able to make this happen and more importantly give you the tools to do it yourself.
That is my big promise and so you are going to want to read this whole blog post numerous times to get all the nuggets that are left in this blog post.
I really feel once you get the hang of abundance and having a wealth mindset, that you can really do anything and turn it into gold.
I learned in my life that your outer world is a reflection of your inner world. If you want things to become better, you have to become better, if you want things to change, you have to change.
Last year I had a scary situation happen to me. I was doing some hill training at a Powwow and as I was sprinting up the hill, I stepped in a gofer hole and pulled my hamstring. It immediately went black and blue and I knew I would be out for the season.
In the summer, I do fairly well winning Powwows to take care of my family and use my winnings towards travelling to the next Powwow.
As soon as I got injured, the income stopped.
This feeling as a provider of the family got me really scared knowing that just an injury can stop the flow that helps me feed my family and help me take care of my family.
Luckily my family are all amazing dancers and they kept winning and helped us finish off the Powwow season. We don’t work jobs as we are entrepreneurs and usually take the summer off to Powwow.
Ask Good Questions
Years ago I read a book by Tony Robbins called Awaken The Giant Within.
In this book he has a section on asking yourself good questions. He said that a lot of people who struggle out there ask low quality questions, like – Why am I always struggling.
The thing is your brain always tries to go find an answer for you and you may not like what comes back as the answer.
The question I asked myself after getting injured was – “How can I make daily income that comes regardless if I work or not”.
Basically how to make predictable reliable passive income.
I needed to find that answer out because the thought of getting another injury or sick or not being able to work frightened me because I knew I would have a hard time feeding my family or taking care of my family.
By asking myself good quality questions, I was able to come up with an answer.
This by the way isn’t the business I’m talking about in the post, but it’s another example of how I started something from an idea and took it to six figure income.
I wrote a digital book that helps people with the Cree Language.
Over the last 12 months I was able to make $123,334.53 from this.
A cool thing is income comes every single day. The average is $337 per day coming in like clockwork whether I work or not.
This was pretty huge for me and maybe on another lesson I will teach you how to make money with digital products.
But by asking myself good quality questions, I was able to come up with an answer.
The next question I asked – How Can I Make Money at a Powwow Without Dancing.
As soon as I asked myself this question, many ideas came to me:
- Running a Porta Pottie business (kind of dirty job lol)
- Tabulating
- Sound
- Lighting
- Radio service
- Internet Wifi Service
None of these really got my heart pumping. I think its important to have at least some interest in the business you are going to do.
The idea that eventually did come to me was “Live-Streaming”
The problem.
I had no idea how to live stream.
What Do You Do When You Don’t Know How to Implement Your Idea?
Well I did what I did with every business i’ve done in the past.
I YouTubed It, Asked Questions to other professionals, and Got Mentoring.
It’s literally that simple, and you MUST be able to INVEST in YOURSELF.
People want so much things for free now a days and feel entitled. The best thing you can do is drop the ego and go pay someone $1,000+ for their knowledge and learn from a mentor who is doing what you want to do.
I swear the more I invest in my knowledge, the more abundance I create for myself, my family, and my community.
So I learned.
Hands Down the Best Marketing Strategy I know to Get Steady Flow of Business
Years ago when I started my personal development journey, I read a book called “How to Win Friends and Influence People”.
In this book, he talked about the law of reciprocity.
The law of reciprocity means to go and GIVE WITHOUT WANT before you can get. Go give VALUE first and ask later.
I literally exploded so many businesses I have using this strategy like clockwork.
For example, in our Cree program we offer 52 Weeks of Cree for FREE. yes FREE. People can sign up and every week get a new video lesson teaching them cree. We now have over 10,000+ students worldwide learning cree from us.
After they get the free lessons we give them an offer to buy stuff from us that will help them in their learning.
When I started my dance troupe company. In order to get my name out there, I would offer FREE shows. I would contact schools and let them know we will come perform for FREE and the word got around. Soon we were fully booked up making $10,000+ a month doing shows.
I did this for my speaking career. I went around speaking for Free or next to nothing and the word got around of how good of a speaker I was and now I get up to $10,000 per speech.
Well things were not different this time around with livestreaming.
We needed to show the Powwow world what we can do.
A cool thing about Powwows in my area is that they happen weekend and weekday with only Mondays off.
So we were able to get our name out quick when it came to livestreaming.
We would call up Powwows that we were heading to anyway and asked if we can live-stream for them to our 300k Powwow audience on my Powwow Times social media pages and YouTube.
We have a highly engaged Powwow audience.
The Powwow committees would say something like, they don’t have the budget or couldn’t pay us….this and that.
We let them know it was okay and we just wanted to give them value.
They were SHOCKED.
So we set up and provided a good job. This was also our school. This was our chance to make mistakes and learn from our mistakes to get better.
We learned so much just getting in the trenches and getting our hands dirty.
Soon so many people were tuning into our Livestream and looking forward to the next one. We started to get emails and phone calls from Powwow committees wanting our services.
Now we were in a place to start charging for our time.
Within our 3rd weekend we were double booked at Two Powwows and made over $10,000 that weekend.
The rest of the summer we were fully booked up and we started a business that can now last for years to come.
I learned so much about live-streaming that now I know how to make money from the knowledge that I’ve gained that we will now turn into a digital product and soon it will be making me another $300+ per day as well.
I hope you got some value from this blog post and if you did, let me know what you took away from this post in the comment.
Thank you so much for reading.
