My good friend Armand Morin gave me a piece of advice that I am going to share with you.
Before Armand shared this with me I had been unable to reaped any financial reward from the large quantity of information I had gathered from various mentors online. This advice helped to completely change my financial future.
In less then eight weeks I was able to generate $111,000 in revenue from one project based on what this piece of advice taught me.
Here's what Armand told me -
I had all these new ideas for products and services that I wanted to put together as one big package. I was really excited about its possibilities.
During lunch, my excitement continued as I opened up my laptop and started up my Mind Mapping software and started showing him all of my new ideas.
He said, "Stop right there." He grabbed my mouse and closed my Mind Mapping software.
He continued telling me, "It doesn't matter how many ideas you generate. The only way you are going to make money is on the ideas that you implement. That is what you should be focusing on." Focus on the implementation - write that down.
People aren't going to buy just an idea. They are more likely to buy something they can see, feel, hear or experience. If you are only thinking about the money, that won't help either because it is the finished idea that will bring the sales, not just the idea.
A great example of this was when John Reese launched Traffic Secrets. He sent physical copies to a targeted list of high-level affiliates well in advance. Why did he send them physical copies? Because when people see your ideas in a finished form, they clearly see the value that it provides versus trying to describe it to them.
Focusing on the implementation is an absolute crucial step for everyone to pay attention to because until an idea is completed you can't make any money from it. Finished products mean an avenue to generate revenue.
Armand showed me an example of this during that same lunch. He took my laptop and brought up several of his websites that he had products for sale on. Then he turned to me and said, "Now I want to buy a product from you. Where do I go to get it?"
Looking at him I didn't know what to say. You may be wondering why? Well, I didn't have any of my completed products up for sale and had so many other ideas not even completed. I had no sales letter set up, people couldn't opt-in anywhere to find out more information, I didn't have an auto responder series set up or have a shopping cart set up. People couldn't buy from me because I didn't have it set up yet.
That was a complete eye opener because I learned in that instant that it doesn't matter how many ideas you have, you only make money on the sale of the finished idea.
I hope that this got everyone reading this thinking about what they can do to get their product/service out there to your customer base.
Your business won't grow or make any money from ideas. Even if it is the greatest idea in the world, until it is implemented no money can be made!
