Understanding This Made Me Rich
When striving for increased profitability, I like to look at it from a perspective of receiving. I want to receive as much as possible, so that I can give as much as possible. Recognize that one is not possible without the other, and you need to receive something first in order to give it.Power of 64 - Make productivity a prime focus of your career or passion. Look to increase your efficiency, effectiveness, and statistical success whenever possible.Buy Low and Sell High - Create a profit margin in order to become more profitable, its a straightforward approach. The key here is not to waste too much time or energy trying to buy at the lowest point and sell at the highest point.Pre-Sell - Consider how you might be able to use your skills, knowledge, and desire in order to broker a deal for others and create additional profit with less effort.Identify Your Timing and Risk Tolerance - Be clear (and reasonable) with the investments you make, taking into account how much risk you are willing to take and when you expect returns on that investment.Take Emotions Out of Spending - Have a plan for the profits you make and stick to it. It can be helpful to predetermine percentages ahead of time for how the money will be spent (or invested), taking emotion out of the equation.Save and Then Save Some More - Make sure that when you are predetermining what you are spending, you are also planning for savings.Referral Agreement - Another way to make a profit with minimal effort comes from effective use of referral agreements. When you are making profitable introductions for others, ensure that you have a system in place to be compensated fairly.Tweet me your takeaway from today’s episode @davidmeltzer Email Me! david@dmeltzer.comSign up for my Free Weekly Training https://free.dmeltzer.com/friday-training-1Text Me!

How Time Management Plays A Major Role In Your Success | Road to Revenue #133
My takeaway from the week came after being asked how I stay "at ease" despite doing so much. It's all about how you spend your time, the more time you spend "at ease" the easier it will be for you to enjoy the consistent everyday, persistent without quit, pursuit of your potential. Although we need to remember, it's not easy being "at ease" so how can we learn to manage our time living "at ease?"Tweet me your takeaway from today’s episode @davidmeltzer Email Me! david@dmeltzer.comSign up for my Free Weekly Training https://free.dmeltzer.com/friday-training-1Text Me!

How to Avoid Burnout and Stay Inspired
Inspiration goes two ways, but first know that you are accountable for your own inspiration. When you are inspired, you are empowered to invest more (not sacrifice more) to get what you want, if you truly want it. Take accountability for yourself. Find what you love to do and align it with what must be done. Then, work to surround yourself with the right people. When I say, “the right people,” I mean the parts of the people you are most attracted to the parts of others that bring you confidence, make you feel happy, or empower you to be your best self.Tweet me your takeaway from today’s episode @davidmeltzer Email Me! david@dmeltzer.comSign up for my Free Weekly Training https://free.dmeltzer.com/friday-training-1Text Me!

Building Your Brand | Road to Revenue #132
William Shakespeare was a genius in many ways, but there are two ideas of his which are crucial to building any brand. The first, which comes from the play As You Like It, is something that has become even more important over time: “All the world's a stage”. With the prevalence of platforms like social media, the entire world is truly our stage today, and we must take full advantage of that stage in order to build, grow, and sustain a brand. We can transmit our brand’s frequency anywhere, with countless access points and mediums to connect with others, enabling us to potentially reach billions with our message. Using what I call the Stage Theory allows us to turn moments into content that elevates our brand and spreads awareness for the value it brings others. The other piece of the Bard’s advice comes from the character Polonius in Hamlet: “This above all: to thine own self be true...”. Authenticity is a vital component of branding today, because the truth is what vibrates the fastest. Authentic truth is what connects us to others, logically and emotionally. The more truthful and authentic your brand’s message is, as well as the people sharing it, the better it will resonate with others. We don’t just want people to see or hear about the brand, we want them to feel it.
