I got up early this morning - because I wanted to. Jon always gets up around 6-6:30, but I'll often sleep for another hour or two after that. This morning I was laying there contemplating whether or not to get up. A bit more sleep sounded good, but I felt like I should get up. Want to know what was the deciding factor? SpeedWealth. You see, a big part of the reason I didn't want to get up, was I didn't really have anything to look forward to. I figured, what the hell will I do if I get up early anyway? Have a shower and then piss away a couple hours on Facebook until I'm ready to start work? That doesn't get me very excited... Then I thought of something: I had downloaded this ebook after we got back from that conference - it was one that they talked about that both Jon and I wanted to read. So I had it on my computer, but hadn't actually sat down and read it through yet. As soon as I thought of it, though, I knew I had a reason to get out of bed!

So up I got, excited about digging into this ebook, and was it ever worth it! Let me tell you a bit about this book and maybe you'll get excited too!

SpeedWealth is written by T. Harv Eker, one of the self-made millionaire "gurus". The conference that we went to last weekend was put on by his company, and he is the one who originally wrote the Secrets of the Millionaire Mind that the conference was based on. (Haven't read that one yet...) The company seems to have gone downhill a fair bit since he first started teaching people, but luckily the book was written over 10 years ago and has some excellent principles and steps. The whole idea of the book is to give you 7 steps to follow in your business to make a million (or more) in 3 - 5 years. Sound good?

So I dug into this book this morning, hoping to pick up some tips for my business, and to find a system that I could follow to turn my business into a money-making machine that will work for me and without me eventually. And boy did I ever! I have a feeling that a few years down the road I may be looking back on this day and this book as the turning point in my business, and in my life! (Or at least a major turning point, as I'm sure there will be others.)

That being said, let me share with you what I've gleaned from this book so far. I need to develop my business into a system, where everything is systemized, from how and where I market, right down to how I actually design the site and get it live. Once a system is in place, then it can be done by anybody, and I can hire someone to manage, hire people to do the actual design work, etc, and the business can run without me. This is what is called passive business income. It works and makes money whether I'm there or not. Perfect!

But it goes even further. Not only can the business run without me, so that I can go and do whatever the hell I want elsewhere on other projects, but I now have a system that I can duplicate and sell (franchising). Not only that, but the business itself is worth a hell of a lot more and can be sold for a lot!

Now this gets me excited. But there's even more to the story. As I was reading through this book I started to get practical ideas to apply to my business right now, and now I'm really excited! It's one thing to read something with some good principles, steps, ideas, etc, but to actually have something to apply to my life right now is fantastic - it means I can actually do this!

So the ideas started flowing and I had to get up and get a pad of paper to start writing stuff down. I got one major idea that I am going to implement today that I think is going to really impact my marketing, sales and the whole business. I am going to find sales people to sell websites for me for a commission. Up to this point I've already planned to pay cash for referrals, but this is taking that a big step further. I am actually going to market and advertise this opportunity, and interview people who are interested, so that I get quality, skilled sales people who will best represent my company. And I'm going to develop the system as I go, so that they all do it the same way, the clients are all handled the same way, and so it can be done over and over again.

Do you see the possibilities now? Do you see the potential for your own business opportunities? This got me so excited that I had to immediately sit down and blog about it. Not only that, but I want to share the book with you, because I believe it can change your life and the way you do business as well. I am on my way to success and wealth, and I want to take as many people with me as I possibly can!
