Systemize Your Business To Work Without You Or Be Stuck “Earning A Living” In It Forever

Let’s say you’ve got a personal service business in some way, shape or form, and you basically have to be there in order for the service to be provided. If you’re not there, your service isn’t provided and you don’t get paid. What do you do when you want to move away from making a living to making prosperity?

There’s only one word you need to know: “leverage.”

The definition of leverage is simply doing more with less. There is less of your effort but more income, more value and more energy being put out, but you’re not the one necessarily putting out all of the energy.

You need to systemize your business so someone else can do it while you’re away, but that’s only one option for leverage, isn’t it? Leverage comes in other people, in using technology, and in other ways of delivering your service, a portion of your service, or a likeness of your service without you having to be there.

The most intelligent thing I ever did in my entire life was set up all of my courses and trainings in a way that someone else could do them. I wrote the book (Secrets of the Millionaire Mind), and everybody wants to come see Harv. That’s true, but it’s not true 100% of the time.

You think that people are coming to see you as the rock star, right? You don’t see how they won’t want to see anyone else, but that’s not true. They want the value, not necessarily you.

They want their problem solved. They really don’t care about whether it’s you, Joe, Bob, Sue or Phil. If Phil can do just as good a job if not better than you, they’ll take Phil.

It’s time to get off the high horse. I had to do the same thing. Yes, I think I could do the best job. I only do two or three seminars a year now just to open up new countries. When I teach at one of my seminars the sales are 20% to 30% higher.

Guess what? I do two or three a year, yet there are over 250 of my courses going on. Can you imagine? That means there are about 200,000 people getting value without me being there.

There is no way I would be able to do 250 courses over a few year period of time. So yes, initially your sales might be lower without you, however, once you are able to leverage other people, technology or any other leverage points in your business you now have a real chance of scalability.

If you systemize and leverage your business properly, you will get rich. If you don’t, you will earn a living. It’s as simple as that. Obviously there are expectations to every rule but having almost 2 million students worldwide I get to see what works for 99% of them and what doesn’t.

Leverage works. And one who says different is either broke or is stuck on their high horse and will never get off it.

You could make a fortune teaching people how to do what you do.

Why don’t you put out a product? Products that give a similar or different value to you are the greatest invention on Earth because you don’t have to be there for your value to be delivered.

I think right now I have somewhere around 1.73 million books sold. All of these people have gotten the value out of Secrets of the Millionaire Mind without me being there.

I don’t make a killing or a fortune on them, though. If I printed every book myself and sold every book myself on the street corner, I would make $20 a book, but I don’t. Do you know how much I make? I make about $2 per book. That’s about it. Can you multiply $2 by 1.7 million? I think that’s pretty decent, don’t you?

You may say, “Harv, I’m not you.” No, but maybe you’re better than me at it!

Get a little creative. It’s not about you. It’s about your value. Remember, people pay to have their problem solved. If you can solve it, great. If you can’t solve it, they’ll go to somebody else. You can still solve their problem without you having to be there all of the time, can’t you? Put on your thinking cap.

And a great place to get the creative juices flowing is with me on my web class Zero To Mutlimillionaire. Hint: we may even be covering the topic of “leverage” on this class.
