The Right Tool at the Right Time<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n

I don\u2019t need to tell you that the business world has changed in the past two years. \u00a0If you\u2019re in business or an investor or own a TV or ever talked to anyone else, you already know that things have changed.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, why hasn\u2019t anyone told the so-called Get Rich Quick gurus? \u00a0I saw a recent late-night infomercial that was quoting stats from 4 years ago. \u00a0That is so 2005! \u00a0 Even though I can excuse that, I figure it\u2019s because they already had the time booked, or the advertising was so cheap might as well run some old tape.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ones that surprise me are the people that are active with websites, blogs, forums, social networking – you name it, if it\u2019s hot, they\u2019re doing it. \u00a0Great marketing. \u00a0Great PR. \u00a0But then what do you get? \u00a0 All they\u2019re offering is the same old thing. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In business, you need to focus on one of two things. \u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

(1) \u00a0Creating money <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0(2) Freeing time<\/span><\/p>\n

The most common path is to first create the money and then find out how to extricate yourself from the process to free time. \u00a0In reality, if you have a job, you first have to free some time so you can start the whole cycle. \u00a0But that\u2019s usually found in giving up some things, not from creating systems. \u00a0Most people don\u2019t have a system to create yet. \u00a0They don\u2019t have that business running yet.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the go-go early 200\u2019s, the biggest issue for most business owners was no time. \u00a0Now the biggest problem is no business, or no cash. \u00a0So, the emphasis often needs to shift back to \u201chow do I create money?\u201d Not how do I create time.<\/span><\/p>\n

The sad thing is that I\u2019ve seen people who\u2019ve just lost their jobs, who are trying to find a way to replace income, spending money they don\u2019t have on programs that promise to help them learn how to turn their business into the mystical level where cash flows to them effortlessly. <\/span><\/p>\n

Great! But first you need to get the cash flowing.\u00a0 <\/span><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s a case of the adage, \u201cIf all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.\u201d \u00a0These so-called gurus have a hammer that works great as long as you have a nail that needs to be pounded. \u00a0If you have a watch, though, I\u2019d be very careful about going to them to get it fixed.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
