Why?

The Millionaire Fastlane Helps You Get Out of Your Own Way

Are you Famous?  Neither am I.  Our only path to millions is entrepreneurship and this book is your roadmap.

We have been bamboozled and we don’t even realize it.  Society, school, and the people around us have taught us backwards ways to think about money, success, and “The American Dream”.  This book will wake you up to some harsh realities as well as some really empowering realities too.  Mindset is first and foremost for successful entrepreneurs.

It helped me:
  1. Get out of my own way
  2. Think about the big picture
  3. See how both working hard and working smart can deliver true freedom

 

The Copywriters Handbook Helps You Sell to People Who Want What You’re Selling

“You can sell a piece of poop all day long, but I don’t want to sell poop.  I want to sell something people want and need” – Ryan Moran.  One of my favorite entrepreneurs. If you can sell poop or sell ice to an eskimo, surely you can sell your product or idea, right? Copywriting (selling with written word) is absolutely critical for small business success.

It helped me:

Sell Hundreds of Thousand of Dollars worth of services and products AND hire great people!  Hiring great people is a bit of a sales job too.

 

Hire With Your Head Helps You Get Great People Working For You

Anyone can make six figures on their own.  But to make millions, most of us need hired help along the way.  Hire with your head is a deep dive into critical hiring in the short run to make sure you’re on top in the long run.

“Your job as an entrepreneur is to hire top talent and keep them around.” – Jeff Hoffman, Founder of Priceline and Self Made Billionaire

It helped me:
  1. Hire an employee who single handedly earned my business 5-stars on Google Maps
  2. Find and hire one of the top 3 HOA Management companies in Colorado for our Condo complex
  3. Hire the best darn Software Quality Assurance person I know (and turn down someone with a PhD who wasn’t as good of a fit!)
