Collaborate

“You are the one that has dedicated your life, your career, your fulfillment, satisfaction, your security (financially, psychically, emotionally)… everything, even your kid’s well-being; on your business.  I am just the one who wants to help you make what you are doing perform better and be less episodic.

Knowledge and the Innovation necessary for improvement comes only from Outside Perspective.

(I am alien, so I got you covered that outside perspective thing…)

I look forward to learning more about you and your business and how we might be able to work together! Whether you are just curious or if you want to discuss my acquisition process, I would love to hear from you.

Once I receive your message, I will get to work on overcoming my social anxiety. Please allow me 24-48 hours to reply.

As far as pricing and compensation:

Invest however much you like:

I am not doing this just to make money!

• Pay too little, I may not be able to afford it
• Pay too much, buyer’s remorse could jeopardize it for both of us..

I would rather contribute than squabble over details… I have not yet tested pricing… If you need guidelines, maybe something like this:

Remember: I am trying to help. You are the one who has consciously made the decision to invest your whole life, perhaps the fate of your family and the fate of all kinds of other families, who are directly or indirectly dependent on you.  You are the one who has your house mortgaged.  You are the one who has to get up every Monday morning and be in there to open the door.  You are the one who has to make payroll and clear the bank.  You are the one who has your name on the line for the real estate. This is why you owe it to yourself to do a few things: 

• Get the greatest yield out of everything you do
• Get the greatest joy out of every hour you spend
• Give the greatest value you can not only render, but that can be perceived, by creating the most extraordinary vehicle you can build; giving you, your people and your community the most exceptional benefit they deserve.

I want to help. I have a very simple philosophy of life. You should never steal from yourself. If you are going to commit your life to an enterprise, wealth creation, the security and the financial well-being of your family… and if other people — your staff, your team, your employees, your vendors — are going to commit their lives to you, you owe it to yourself and to everyone else to get the highest and best results. You should never accept a fraction of the yield when with the same effort or less, the same people or fewer, the same time or less, the same capital or less, the same opportunity cost or less, can deliver so much more to you currently, and perpetually.

Peter Drucker, one of the greatest business minds alive, once said “If you are not committed to making your current thinking in your current business and your current approach obsolete, you can make certain your competitor is committed to doing it to you and for you, so you might as well do it to yourself first.  The world is too competitive for you to sit still.  If the approach you are using is the exact same approach everybody else is using, what do you imagine is going to give you any advantage or growth?  If you think about it logically, the only possible pathway for you to get what you want, has got to be doing, thinking, approaching, operating, positioning yourself different from everybody else, isn’t it?   The idea of the rising tide raising all boats seems very reactive does it not?  I do not believe in reactive thinking. Rather, I do believe in proactive thinking.  This is based on understanding other possible alternatives, understanding the available superior performing resources, understanding that you have not been sentenced to a life of continuing doing what you are doing, the way you are doing it with the limited knowledge with which you have been doing it.  You have permission to escape the jail you have sentenced yourself to.  It is all you, not the world.  There are so many better, easier, more powerful, profitable ways to operate the rest of your entrepreneurial life.  It is tragic to accept a fraction of a fraction of a fraction. Most small entrepreneurs limit, restrict and impede the number of clients they could be generating, the size of the sale they could be getting, the degree of trusted, bonded, long-term connection they could be getting or creating, the repeat business they could be getting, all of the additional sources of revenue they could be generating from the relationship with referral, word of mouth… to this extent:

I have a policy contingent on doing business with me. After 12 months, if you want to continue, you have to give us two like quality referrals every year. If this is uncomfortable for you, we may have to charge a surcharge. Referrals are our livelihood. I want to invest my time into helping you and your friends, ensuring your success… I am more interested in improving my work than chasing prospects…

My ideal collaborator: A Dyslexic, High Quick Start, Multiplier. If this means anything to you, you know what to do: I got your who and how…

Look, if you’re like I was, when ideas like this come along, you’re thinking there’s another opportunity right behind it, but that’s just not true. So really look into your heart and if you’ve been missing opportunities because you don’t jump on it, this may be the time you should do it.  Right now, because yeah, maybe this website will still be here tomorrow.  But you’re not going to remember where it is.  So many things are going to happen and somebody else will get your attention. So, right now, while you’re here, while you’ve got the time, just reach out. You have nothing to lose. I’m itching to improve the way we do business. Lord knows we need it.
