<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 250px"><img class=" " title="turn your passion into profit" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4031/4613509797_f40b6677cf_m.jpg" alt="turn your passion into profit" width="240" height="135" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image by Michael Kwan (Freelancer) via Flickr</p></div>

<p><span style="color: #000000;">Discover the Simple Steps to <a class="zem_slink" title="Making Money" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Making_Money" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank">Making Money</a> Doing What You Love!</span></p>
<p>Far too many people spend their time working, then get off work and go do something you love.</p>
<p>That used to be me too</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not like you&#8217;re asking for a lot.  You just want to make money while doing what you love.  You want to turn your <a href="http://www.letyourmillionaireout.com/profit-module.html" target="_self">Passion into Profit</a>.</p>
<p>Imagine enjoying your day learning, exploring, reading, investigating and talking about a subject that you love.  Now, imagine you&#8217;re being paid to do it.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s what turning your passion into profit is all about.  It&#8217;s about discovering the secrets to make money from your interests.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000000;">But <a class="zem_slink" title="How-to" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How-to" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank">how to</a> do that?</span></h3>
<p>Well, after you discover your <a href="http://www.letyourmillionaireout.com/passion-module.html" target="_self">Passion</a>, it&#8217;s important to <a href="http://www.letyourmillionaireout.com/focus-module.html" target="_blank">Focus</a> all your energy on doing what you love.</p>
<p>When you&#8217;re focused, you&#8217;ll start paying attention to &#8220;how&#8221; you can charge for your product or service.</p>
<p>You can look for others who are doing something similar, and model their actions.</p>
<p>You can go to the library or a bookstore and find &#8220;how to&#8221; books on your topic.</p>
<p>You can experiment with how you can charge $1 for your product or service.</p>
<p>And once you &#8220;figured out&#8221; how to charge $1 for your product or service, learn how you can charge more.  I can tell you, the first $1 is the hardest.</p>
<p>I am asked these questions often and that&#8217;s why I created the <a href="http://www.letyourmillionaireout.com/profit-module.html" target="_self">Profit Module</a>.  To help you learn, much quicker then it took me, to make money doing what you love.</p>
<p>I feel like I haven&#8217;t worked for over 10 years.  The reason is that I learned how to quickly turn my passion into profitable products and services, and I&#8217;d like to help you do the same.</p>
<p>Since this is the essence of the Let Your Millionaire Out philosophy, I encourage you to get the <a href="http://www.letyourmillionaireout.com/profit-module.html" target="_self">Profit Module</a> and begin immediately&#8230; besides, if not now, when?</p>
<p>To Your Millionaire!</p>

</div>
<p>A recent survey of how Americans define <strong>Financial Success</strong> reveals some startling shifts in America&#8217;s money mindset.  It seems it&#8217;s not just about making money.</p>
<p>According to the findings released in the survey by <a href="http://www.tdameritrade.com/welcome1.html" target="_blank">TD Ameritrade</a>;</p>
<ul>
<li>39% define &#8216;financial success&#8217; as being <a class="zem_slink" title="Debt" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debt" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank">debt</a>-free.</li>
<li>with 51% of those ages 65+ define &#8216;financial success&#8217; as being debt-free, compared to only 30% of those ages 18-34</li>
<li>with 46% of those married but with no children defined &#8216;financial success&#8217; as being debt-free</li>
<li>and 37% of those married with children defined &#8216;financial success&#8217; as being debt-free</li>
</ul>
<p>While&#8230;</p>
<ul>
<li>29% define &#8216;financial success&#8217; as being able to save money for <a class="zem_slink" title="Long-Term Capital Management" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-Term_Capital_Management" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank">long-term</a> goals like retirement and education.</li>
<li>with 37% of singles with children define &#8216;financial success&#8217; as saving money for long term goals</li>
<li>and 23% of singles with no children who report the same</li>
</ul>
<p>And&#8230;</p>
<ul>
<li>18% of men with children define &#8216;financial success&#8217; as being able to indulge and pay for the indulging</li>
<li>while 11% of women with children report the same</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>What does all this mean?</strong></p>
<p>Consider the above and what your answer would be.  Then, develop your own definition of financial success.  Some things to consider;</p>
<ul>
<li>Amount of money you make</li>
<li>Amount of money you keep (after taxes and other deductions)</li>
<li>Amount of assets you have</li>
<li>Amount of consumer debt you carry (<a class="zem_slink" title="Credit card" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Credit_card" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank">credit cards</a>, <a class="zem_slink" title="Home equity" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_equity" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank">home equity</a>, include your mortgage if you live in the house)</li>
<li>Ability to retire, pay for education, travel and other long term expenses</li>
</ul>
<p>Regardless of what you come up with, it&#8217;s important to identify your definition of success or how will you know how to get there?</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not just about making more money, it&#8217;s about reducing your debt to manageable or zero levels.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve always learned there are two ways to have more money; 1. make more money, 2. reduce your expenses.</p>
<p>Consider <a title="Click here to learn more..." href="http://www.letyourmillionaireout.com/profit-passion/">The Profit Module</a> for help making more money.</p>
<p>To Your Millionaire!</p>

<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 250px"><img class=" " title="profit practices" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/55/Bills_and_coins.svg/300px-Bills_and_coins.svg.png" alt="profit practices" width="240" height="116" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image via Wikipedia</p></div>
</div>
<p>I was given good advice for growing and protecting the first profitable small <a class="zem_slink" title="Business" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank">business</a> I created.</p>
<p>These basic principles have served me well. I have used them to build a multi-million dollar warehousing and distribution business, coaching business and <a class="zem_slink" title="Internet marketing" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_marketing" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank">Internet marketing</a> business, so I know they work across industries.</p>
<h2>Start</h2>
<p>– No matter where you are or what you think needs to be done before you offer your product or service &#8211; Start. Share it with others, get feedback, make corrections and share again. There is truly no time like the present.</p>
<h2>Pay Yourself First</h2>
<p>– no matter where you are, make it a point to pay yourself something, no matter how small, to build the habit. Isn’t that one of the reasons you’re in business?</p>
<h2>10% <a class="zem_slink" title="Business rule" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_rule" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank">Rule</a></h2>
<p>– Aim to have no <a class="zem_slink" title="Customer" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Customer" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank">customer</a> represent more then 10% of your revenue. Yes, the first customer is 100% but with a 2nd, it may drop to 50%, each successive customer eases your stress. Why? If you have one customer and they stop buying from you, you’ve lost 100% of your revenue. Or, if they don’t leave, they have tremendous leverage over you. If they want something, you’re likely to give it to them, whether you want to or not, simply out of fear of losing them.</p>
<p>If you have 10 clients, each representing approximately 10% of your revenue, and one leaves, it represents only a 10% loss in revenue. If they want you to bend over backwards for them, you are less inclined when they represent 10% of your revenue versus 100%.</p>
<p>Now imagine if each customer represented 1% or less of your revenue. How would you feel?</p>
<h2>2 to 1 Rule</h2>
<p>- Aim for $2 dollars of revenue for $1 of expenses. In a brick and mortar type business, this is a great ratio to strive for. In a service or <a class="zem_slink" title="Dot-com company" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot-com_company" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank">Internet business</a>, you should easily be able to exceed this ratio.  The important thing is to have a rule in the first place.</p>

<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 214px"><img class=" " title="making money" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/41/Money_for_nothing.jpg" alt="making money" width="204" height="306" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image via Wikipedia</p></div>

<p>It&#8217;s one of the big mistakes I see most people make.</p>
<p>Yes, I know you want more of it. But so does the person you&#8217;re trying to sell your products or services to.</p>
<p>They want to hold onto their money too.</p>
<h2>First Things First</h2>
<p>It&#8217;s not just about money, it&#8217;s about something else.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re one of the people struggling with asking people for money in exchange for your product or service, you know what I&#8217;m talking about.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s about value and what you are offering to exchange for the other person&#8217;s money.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re not addressing their needs, identifying their pain and providing a solution, you might as well go get a job, because you&#8217;re not getting a new client.</p>
<p>This is so important I go over this in detail in the <a title="Click to learn more..." href="http://www.letyourmillionaireout.com/profit-passion/">Profit Module</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;How can I make money?&#8221;</p>
<p>I remember years ago starting out and focusing on this question.  Because of this, I struggled and was frustrated.</p>
<p>After months of banging my head against the wall… and struggling to pay my bills, did I discover a much better and more important question.</p>
<p>That question changed my life and allowed me to build my first multi-million dollar company.</p>
<p>And it&#8217;s the true meaning of the word Profit Perhaps you&#8217;re struggling to pay bills from month to month, or looking to take your business to the next level.</p>
<p>Whatever your situation, one thing I know for sure. If you learn, understand and apply the principles of profit, success will be yours.</p>
<p>To Your Millionaire!</p>
