Leadership Files: How Can You Double Your Income?

I realised just a few weeks ago that in order to truly increase profits or in this case your income figure is to be able to do things differently from others without seeking opinions (from undesirable individuals). Most of the things we do today are an effect of our desire to want something and average people still seek another human's opinion to 'back them up'.


Johnny Wimbrey was here just yesterday and he was right to say:

"I don't care what people say about me, I take responsibility of my every actions.. because my actions determine my future"

Are you guilty of doing this?

Many times in the past, I'm guilty of also seeking the approval of others. As time went by, most of my own decisions recently seems to stem from my very own thought process and the only time I communicated with others is to share with them my ideas. This is a very inspiring lesson for me to pass on to you. If you're sitting at home reading this, probably it's a good time to just grab a piece of paper and write down the 3 ideas or actions you wanted to do very differently from others a long time ago but never did it.

Then, write down just beside each of those ideas the reasons WHY you didn't. This will show where your limitations are and what is stopping you. By identifying the problem or why you're being stuck we can move on to solving it sooner than ever. No problem is too big to solve. Trust me. Now, try to imagine how you can solve your problem by seeking the counsel of others.

Each week, you will discover a new blockage, a new limitation and more importantly if you do this consistently as I suggested - sooner of later you will find new friends and mentors.

Try it out and do something different so your future can be different from today.

Do You Feel Like Quitting?

Many months ago when I first started out in this online business with Success University. I seriously (no kidding) wanted nothing but calling it QUITS. Then, you might way "No way, You? Vern - the person who's doing this blog and telling everyone what he learnt online and all his successes. Yeah, I really wanted to. But guess what... I didn't.

To find out why I finally didn't pull the plug and call it quits... watch this video:


I've taken a great measure to screen this video's content as he is also my favourite marketer (the great Stephen Pierce). However, he highlighted something very special to me. Today, I look back and wow - I carried on and am now building myself a solid business for my future.

Official Millionaire In Air France

Although, it was a 12 hours flight from France to Singapore. It was a certainly pleasant one as there was always someone I meet along the way whom I had a golden opportunity to talk and discuss with. At this point in time, if you've decided to fly somewhere always keep an entreprenurial mindset.




Smile and introduce yourself if you don't already know the name of the person next to you. It helps to warm up the atmosphere between you. This flight which was AF256 I had the chance to sit next to a nice lady named Anne. She was on the same flight as me transiting to Australia after Singapore. So, we had the chance to discuss and exchange views along the way.

Here's how it went...

Anne: Hi (with a BIG smile... man, her teeth is really white!), are you going back from holidays?

Me : Oh Hi! (embarrased I'd not greet her earlier and fumbling with my safety buckle), no actually I'm on my way back from a business trip. The thing is I enjoyed it as I had the chance to go skiing for the first time too.

Anne: Wow, it's your first time ? I'm sure it was fun.

Me: What about you ? It seems you're on your way for a holiday.

This is how it got started and I wished to continue scripting it for you but it would take up plenty of your time and I'm going to compact it to be easier for you to digest. Basically, I found out that she was from Paris. A practising lawyer who is now caught between the corporate world and working on her business which was an almost-established private practice.

She had the miraculous chance to go back to Australia for about 2 weeks to attend her brothers wedding in Perth. Here's the thing, she doesn't even know the bride or met her before. That's how we got started talking and I was able to get get core value about having not enough time to spend with her personal life.

OK, you don't have to keep guessing. She's a successful person by profession. Normally, I'd wanted to say that having 2 firms of her own in both Paris and in Marseille would make her already wealthy and also having a few properties which are generating cashflow is nice. She just hit one major dead end. No matter what, she didn't have enough time or manpower to run her businesses, travel time or even at corporate work.

In fact, being caught between "closing down" her passion at business and going back to the corporate world almost destroyed her internally.

I continued to talk to her very personally sharing some entreprenurial insights about why we are entrepreneurs before we are business minded people because thats what motivates us. The very same burning passion about what we do is why we decided to get into starting a business is very simply... it is always an achievement.

You probably want me to get to the point? Alright here you go.

I told her that if she continued that way she would not have enough time for her business even if it had many clients, that she might have to end up working weekends late (which was already happening). Also, if she lost her job probably she'd have no way of having a steady income stream to survive.

Then, I told her about how I run my online business. It runs 24 hours, 7 days a week regardless of whether I'm awake or asleep an it is 'automated' after I have established my basic 'infrastructure'. It also will generate a recurring income and probably more if I decide to work more on it.

Here's the punch line!

I'm in profit (recovered every single cent I spent) after only 7 months!

She was so amazed and just said that "Wow! That's exactly what I want! A business that runs even without my full involvement. So, I will have both income and time on my hands. I admire what you're doing because this requires great technical mastery!"

I just smiled, and had wanted to explain it isn't that hard... but ... I kept smiling and said,

"Thanks"

She went to sleep after a short meal.

The point is, it just takes more than 1 hour of conversation to explain how I did it.

If you're still reading this. You're going to wonder the same question as her probably "Vern, how in the world did you do it and what did you do?"

Stick around. You'll find out soon for just being a loyal reader ;)
