I Should Fire Myself
Spread the Word – Friends Don’t Let Friends Work With Bad Clients
February 7, 2012
Sedona, Arizona
Let’s pull back the curtain a bit on Jason’s life and mess with his head a little… sound good? 🙂
I’ve noticed something a little fascinating about my life that I want to share with you today.
For some reason, I work far harder for my clients than I do for myself.
This is very odd.
After all, I don’t necessarily plan to be in the client business forever. That’s why I work like a dog to create other businesses and income streams (This daily letter is just one of them.).
I can tell you, however, with all honesty that I’ve never, ever invested as much effort in any of my sales letters as I do (on a regular basis) for my clients.
Me thinks this should change.
I don’t plan on shortchanging my clients. That would be a stupid, self-defeating move.
Instead, my plan is to stop accepting anything but the best I have for ME.
I can give you a list of reasons why I probably do this, but frankly… none of those matter.
I don’t necessarily need to understand something before I can change it.
———————————
Each Monday, I publish something called the “Monday Hotsheet” where I reveal stuff I’ve discovered in my efforts to build my businesses on the internet. I’ve done this for the past 14 months, which means there are about 60 past issues in the archive. I’m happy to count six and seven figure business owners among my subscribers. If you want to shortcut your learning curve and benefit from my work, take a look.———————————-
I know that operating like this is not smart, so I’m changing it as quickly as possible.
If you have other businesses you are growing in addition to your client work (you do have some right?), are you working as hard for YOU as you are for your clients?
Trading your time for dollars is NOT a good long term strategy, unless you want to work for the rest of your days.
Start some side projects, develop new income streams. Just be sure you work as hard for yourself as you work for everyone else.
You deserve it don’t you?
See you next time,
