How Much Money Will You Make Today?

I’d like to shift gears dramatically and cover a very important philosophy in your business life…how much money will you make today?
That’s right – that’s the question – and I would hope the concept that drives your every action for this 24 hour period.
Now, you know that we preach and believe in wealth building and I certainly don’t mean I want you “income chasing” today and every day because then you quite simply do not have a business – however – you should have systems in place to reliably bring you more business tomorrow, more customers, more opportunity in the coming days, weeks, and months – so the question, I’m going to answer for you by sharing with you what things you should be doing “today” to drive income.
This is your checklist for profit – Today.
FIRST – what are you doing today to create money in the future. To attract new opportunity. You should focus first on doing some, at least one thing, that moves you closer to new money. This is very important this is what fuels your wealth creation and keeps you out of the “income chase”.
Now, this could be sending out an email or letter or phone call to a specific person for joint venture or closing a deal, etc or it could be writing some sales letter to go out for a new campaign.
Either way you want to look back on your day and have done something to generate money “tomorrow”. Think of this as filling the pipeline in advance, the pipeline of opportunity.
SECOND – you want to make sure you are closing up all loose ends of money that is hanging over your head, out there, that needs follow-up or to be closed. This is the “collection” process for whatever that means in your business.
Never leave a day with stuff sitting on the table…the wind might come and blow it off the table…don’t squander or waste opportunity – handle it with appreciation and work to move it from the table to your pocket so it is safe with you.
THIRD – send some appreciation or thank you or customer service relationship building mechanisms or actions to anyone who needs reaching out to, new customers, old customers, lost customers, do something that pays it forward, etc with your customers.
So far we have touched the major pieces of your life that will result in you making more money. Future, present, and past.
Now we move on to “growing” and marketing your business.
Every day in some way you should be interacting with some-one or some-thing that can pay you money. This could be your existing marketing funnel and working on it, improving it, expanding it.
This could be hustling some business with people in your pipeline, calling prospects or drumming up business. Beating the bushes if you will.
This is different than the first where you are strategically moving some opportunity forward or putting yourself in an opportunity/money attraction position. This one is, let’s set a timer and see how much chaos, action, attention I can stir up and how much money I can collect and generate from being a salesmen.
Finally you want to spend some time everyday on developing yourself, your systems, honing your craft that you use to make, earn, enjoy your living.
You eat everyday, bathe everyday, don’t go a day without doing what makes you money, what you are about.
Also, in case I forgot, or didn’t make it clear, you would be best served to communicate with all of your influence circles, your customer bases and other relationships every single day…no sales pitch just “show-up”.
On the personal front, take care of those you love and live with every day all day long – make sure you are always finishing your days with significance and solid healthy relationships in tact.
I hope this guides your actions for the day and notice I didn’t say check your email, read your mail, spend all your evening and morning networking, do all kinds of things that seem productive but have no substance…
Once you adopt my priority list for money creation you soon will not have to fill your time with anything less than the highest and best use of your time…personally and in your business.
That is the ultimate dream of an entrepreneur…life, liberty, and the actualization of happiness and the lifestyle you want and design – every day all day long. Earn it, deserve it, create it.
