The Most Important of All Business Strategies?

Mel,   Tax strategist Adam Libman recently made a simple yet profound observation...  "I work with a lot of wealthy people.  And one thing I've noticed is that wealthy people own stuff."   Obvious enough, right? But lately I've been asking myself, "What do I own?"    At the end of any consulting engagement, be it Bobsled Run, Auotresponder Bootcamp, Roundtable, or Private Client Group,  I don't own anything more than before the engagement started.    I'm not building real wealth.  Sure, I've been well-compensated. But I've merely traded hours for dollars.  I don't own anything more.   If an entrepreneur I've helped goes on to make hundreds of millions of dollars thanks in part to my brilliant insights, I don't get a single dollar above my fee.   And ownership, or equity, is how you build wealth...not by trading hours for dollars.    That's why I believe there is one business strategy that's more reliable, predictive, and potentially life-altering than any other.  And Adam and I discuss it in depth in this recent interview.    Carpe diem,  Perry Marshall   ***NOTE: Please do not reply directly to this email, instead go to http://support.perrymarshall.com     Free Video We manage our emails with Infusion.

"Like a Frying Pan Upside the Head"

Football Concussions, Frying Pans, and Memos from the Head Office One Entrepreneur's Wake Up Call Listen Here   Mel,   Maybe you've heard me talk about "memos from the head office".  That's my pet phrase for the big, breakthrough ideas that only seem to come to me when I deliberately slow down and ... just listen.   In the shower Walking aimlessly around my neighborhood on a crisp, autumn day Journaling over my morning tea Traipsing around the grassy, wind-swept hills of western Ireland  But finding time to slow down and ... just listen...is nigh impossible when you're chugging away on the hamster wheel.  So, in order to get your attention, sometimes those "memos" don't come in the form of gentle whispers from the clouds.  Sometimes they come like a "frying pan upside the head", in the words of Michael Strickland.    Michael got his bell rung in a flag football game about a week ago. Suffered a concussion. And, for a while there, the risk of spinal damage or serious brain trauma was a real possibility.    So, Michael was laid up for a few days. Plenty of time to...just listen.   The "memos from the head office", Michael received while worrying about his future were a real wake up call.   So I called him. And he told me all about it in a very brief interview.  I think you'll find it fascinating...and maybe it will keep you from having to suffer your own version of a  "frying pan upside the head"!   Listen here.    Carpe diem, Perry Marshall     ***NOTE: Please do not reply directly to this email, instead go to http://support.perrymarshall.com     Free Video We manage our emails with Infusion.
