VISION

Posted in Uncategorized at 4:47 pm by Robin J. Elliott

What gets you bounding out of bed before the alarm clock goes off? On a cold, rainy Monday morning, after 4 hours of sleep and jetlagged into last year? What compels you to work deep into the night? What drives you to go the extra thousand miles? What sets you apart from the herd of mediocre also-rans? Your Vision. Successful people are prepared to do what unsuccessful people are not prepared to do. And the reason why they are prepared to - no - obsessed with doing it, is their purpose and their vision. Without a vision for your future, life is dull, boring, frustrating, repetitive, meaningless. Woodrow Wilson said, “No man that does not see visions will ever realize any high hope or undertake any high enterprise.”

“Without a vision, the people perish” Proverbs 29 vs18. Vision gives us focus, endurance, courage, passion and purpose. Dreams determine destiny. Imagination determines aspiration. We have a choice, every minute of every day – we can focus on the problem or the purpose, the dream or the drudgery. People who flit aimlessly from one thing to another simply haven’t discovered their purpose. They are without a vision; rudderless ships, destined to end up on the rocks. They are guaranteeing regret in their old age, when they no longer have the youth and energy to attempt great things. Two sad words will haunt them: “If only…”
Peter Drucker said, ‘The better a man is, the more mistakes he will make, for the more new things he will try in the pursuit of his vision.’ Visionaries are bulletproof. They don’t fear making mistakes. They eagerly embrace every new opportunity to make their dreams come true. They live in faith, not fear. Anais Nin said, ‘We don’t see things as they are; we see them as we are.’ We become our vision. The greater the vision, the greater we become. Patanjali said, “When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bounds: Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.”
What if you don’t yet have a clearly defined vision? Easy. Find someone who does, and hitch your wagon to their star until you’re ready. You will be infused with joy, peace and a new perspective on life.

What’s Holding You Back?

Posted in Uncategorized at 10:55 pm by Robin J. Elliott

Einstein told us, “We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.” And we tend to subconsciously seek evidence to support our dominant beliefs. So we get stuck in a loop – we continue to look for proof that we’re right, so we don’t change what we believe, so we don’t change. Then we complain that nothing changes. Well, our circumstances won’t change until WE change what we believe to be true. How do we do that?
We created our beliefs by gathering evidence to support those beliefs. For example, Uncle Patrick was dishonest in business, Lonny ripped us off and Sam lost his savings in a bad business deal. And, as a result, we believe that business owners are dishonest and that we will lose money by getting into business. This can sabotage your future success. Or you’ve had six bad relationships and two divorces so you believe there are no good men in the world. That’s simple human nature: once bitten, twice shy. Seven times bitten…
Actually, it’s easier than we may think. The best way I have found to change my own beliefs is to immerse myself in evidence that produce empowering, uplifting beliefs. If I had a bad experience in business, I can read the biographies of successful entrepreneurs, spend a lot of time on a regular basis with successful business owners, watch movies like “Tucker” and read business magazines, “Atlas Shrugged”, “Think and Grow rich” and other good material. I can listen to podcasts and CD’s and eventually, inexorably, my beliefs will change and my life will change.
If you had bad experiences in relationships, how about only mixing with people who have great relationships and marriages, read books about good relationships, work on yourself and concentrate on flooding your mind with positive information on relationships. Brainwash yourself – wash out all the silly, weak, disempowering beliefs with good, clean beliefs! Focus on your input. Strategically plan to change your beliefs. Take massive, passionate action. You can dramatically change your life by changing your beliefs.

The Power and Reach of Joint Ventures

Posted in Uncategorized at 5:38 pm by Robin J. Elliott

It’s amazing how many people I see doing crossword puzzles. In coffee shops, on planes, in airports, in trains. Rika likes doing jigsaw puzzles. Many people enjoy chess. They’re all solving problems and making connections. When I first read Zig Ziglar’s statement, “You can get anything you want out of life, if you’re prepared to help enough other people to get what they want”, I realized that the more value I could create and the more people I could reach, the faster I would reach my own goals. So the puzzles that I enjoy are “value” puzzles: How to connect the dots and link the right people and resources in such a way that I create massive, unprecedented value. It’s called Joint Ventures.

This is how I’ve done business and done well for nineteen years. We don’t have to create competencies; we can borrow them. We don’t have to own or buy resources – we just need access to them. Ericsson and Sony work together. Disney, Amex, Pfizer and IBM all excel at Joint Ventures. Wal-Mart formed a JV with Mexico’s Cifra, which significantly shortened its learning curve about the Mexican market. It is said that 20% of the revenues of large companies are the result of Joint Ventures and that 50% of those JV’s are with their competition, yet only 1% of small and medium businesses understand and use this powerful business tool to create fast and large profits at virtually no cost or risk. It’s all about leveraging exiting resources and hidden assets. And it requires a certain mindset. And it doesn’t take years of academic study; it takes one day to get started.

The most important component of a successful JV is finding the right people to work with. One has to be careful to select ethical, professional people one whom one can rely. Secondly, you have to learn the mindset and understand how to select and approach potential JV partners and then to set up the deals in a win/win, no cost or risk manner. Once you get it, it’s like riding a bicycle or becoming a physician – you can work anywhere in the world, without any resources. Everything you need is already available through someone else. Brokering JV deals is a wonderful and very rewarding game. It’s better than jigsaw puzzles because it creates value wealth, and great relationships. Real money, real fast, in the real world, with no downside – that’s why I love Joint Ventures. Remember “Six degrees of separation”? It’s true. And “What goes around comes around”? It works. I set up one JV yesterday that instantly exposed me to four thousand people. On my own, that would have taken a lot of time and money. Together, we can do amazing things.

Lucrative Joint Venture Questions

Posted in Uncategorized at 4:04 pm by Robin J. Elliott

When you ask the right Joint Venture questions, you open the vault to riches. People like to talk about themselves, their goals and their problems. When we help them make their dreams come true and offer solutions for their problems, we all win and everyone makes money. Savvy JV Brokers know that it’s all about the right approach. Here are five powerful approaches that you can use, today, to make real money, real fast.

1. What do I have to create, bring to you or offer you in order for you to write me a check for $2,000 per month / $10,000?

2. What do you want, more than anything else, in your life and your business, and why?
3. If I was to bring you business and customers that you don’t have and would not have had, what percentage of the gross sales would you offer me?
4. If I could show you how to make money from your existing resources, with no cost or risk to yourself and without any time spent, would you share the resulting profits with me?
5. If I could double the amount of people in your restaurant, given that you have a 32% food cost and all your overheads and fixed costs are already covered, would you pay me 20% of every bill I generated?

If you help other people to get what they want, you will get what you want. And by asking the right, open-ended questions and being honestly interested in the other person, you find out what they want. And when someone responds negatively or offers a meager commission, simply walk away – the world is your oyster and there are unlimited JV opportunities out there.

The 6 ideal parameters of a good JV are “No money, no risk, very little time, lots of leverage, big potential.” Ask the right questions, do your due diligence and always be ready to say, “No.” Personally, I only work with Members of the DollarMakers Joint Venture Forum.

Our Joint Venture Broker Bootcamp Graduates are trained to find and exploit lucrative JV opportunities. Through our powerful DollarMakers Joint Venture Forum, they have access to hundreds of other Members worldwide, as well as meetings, a Convention, Tele Conferences, support and JV opportunities.

DYI JV’s?

Posted in Uncategorized at 4:04 pm by Robin J. Elliott

A man returns from a visit to his physician. On the way home, he stops by a medical center and buys a variety of surgical instruments. He drops into the local library and takes out some books. Then he buys a nurse’s outfit. When he gets home, he tells his wife, “The doctor told me I need my appendix removed. I asked him a number of questions, and the good new is that we don’t need him! Why should we spend thousands on an operation, when I could buy everything we need for a few hundred? Read these books tonight, and tomorrow you can don the uniform and operate on me. Now haven’t you got a smart husband?”

IDIOT, right? Right. Many people have this same, cheap mentality. Why do you need a Burger King franchise when your mother makes such great burgers and you can buy used restaurant equipment? Is it arrogance, ignorance or a combination of both that encourages people to make such silly choices? “I don’t need that techie to fix my computer! He charges an arm and a leg. I’ll do it myself!” Well, the techie loves to hear that, because a week later, after messing his computer up even more, that same fool will beg the techie to help him, at any cost. He will carry the techie on his back through crocodile-infested swamps and then make him tea… And perhaps the techie will charge a little more…

When my car breaks, I call Ray. When my computer breaks, I call Andrew. When I have accounting / tax problems, I call Raj. I don’t negotiate or haggle with them. And they solve my problems fast. I am consciously incompetent. There are very few things I’m really good at, and even in those areas there are many better than I am. I save a lot of time, money and frustration by paying experts. The same applies to Joint Ventures. We teach people, support them and encourage them in that area because we have 19 years of experience and we do this every single day. But, guess what? You have to pay to attend a Bootcamp or join the Forum. After that, we will support you. In Afrikaans, they say, “Goedkoop is duurkoop.” (Cheap is expensive.) Ever bought cheap shoes?

In Whistler, a fellow approached me at the end of a seminar I presented on Joint Ventures. He asked why the Bootcamp is “so expensive” at $997 for two people. I answered, “It’s probably not for you.” Why? Because he just revealed who he is. Successful people pay experts based on return on investment. How much does a shovel have to cost to be expensive when it is used to shovel gold into your car’s trunk?

Overcome Mental Blocks

Posted in Uncategorized at 3:29 pm by Robin J. Elliott

I asked the bell captain to call a cab for me to get to the train station for my trip to Ottawa. He replied that, with all the freezing snow Montreal was enjoying that morning, a cab would take 45 minutes to arrive! Shock and awe – what was I to do? I had meetings and a seminar lined up in Ottawa – carefully planned down to the last minute. I couldn’t afford to miss that train! Then I realized that the bell captain was still there, talking. He was saying, “But, Mr. Elliott, why not take the underground to the train station? It’s right around the corner, here.” In only twenty minutes I was at the station via the underground, saved money on the cab and enjoyed a great, relaxing train ride to Ottawa.

When he walked into the huge seminar venue in the Toronto hotel, he seemed pretty professional and successful Well dressed and groomed, poised, aware. He handed me his business card and I was impressed. Thirty minutes into my seminar, I asked the audience, “How many of you think this looks ‘Too good to be true’?” and the same man put up his hand. Shock and awe! It was hard to believe that this sophisticated businessman was, in fact, seriously handicapped by his mental conditioning. We all are. How many wonderful opportunities have we all missed, because our conditioning got in the way? We all have mental programming that hampers and restricts us.
The same goes for technology – I searched for YEARS to find a way to record sound bytes on my computer at home and then to e mail them. It only took one e mail from Member Andrew Cavanagh in Australia, and within ten minutes I had the solution, which has been working great ever since. We don’t have money problems, we have thinking problems. And the same goes for everything else. We already have whatever we want and need – it’s all in the way we think. Understanding that we have mental blocks is the first step on the road to overcoming all obstacles on our way to success.
Other people know things that we don’t know. They have different perspectives and they know how to get to the train station. The fastest way I have discovered to getting over, under and around mental blocks is by associating with a wide variety of Eagles through our DollarMakers Joint Venture Forum. Hundreds of ethical people around the world with a Joint Venture Mindset are available to help me to succeed in a win/win way. They have different frames of reference, experience, skills, connections, access and resources that are re4adily available. We help each other to see through the mental blocks and solve problems. Together, we can do amazing things. For more information on the Forum, Click here.

Decisiveness

Posted in Uncategorized at 6:50 pm by Robin J. Elliott

I just returned from a whirlwind trip to Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto, where I gave a number of presentations and seminars. Our east coast Members did a wonderful organizing job and I had a great time. One thing that really impressed me was the people who took me up on my challenge and joined our Forum or signed up for our Bootcamps. These people took action that will reward them for a long time. They evaluated the information and took decisive steps to seize an opportunity.

Napoleon Bonaparte said, “Nothing is more difficult, and therefore more precious, than to be able to decide.” Strong and successful entrepreneurs make decisions fast and stick to them. They don’t wait for the cat to fall out of a tree or Grandma to buy a new dress. They don’t have twenty committee meetings before they decide whether or not to order the Beef Wellington. They say, “Yes” or they say, “No.” They are fast on their feet. They don’t find excuses to procrastinate. They will weigh the information, do their due diligence and decide. You don’t have to run after them for a decision, either; they will get back to you when they say they will. They are winners.

One seminar attendee gave me SEVEN reasons why he wouldn’t be able to attend an event. At the end of his whining, I said, “All I needed was a ‘Yes’ or a ‘No’.” Winston Churchill put it this way: “They are decided only to be undecided, resolved to be irresolute, adamant for drift, solid for fluidity, all-powerful to be impotent.” And George Canning said, “Indecision and delays are the parents of failure.” Those who vacillate, dither, hesitate and flounder are simply fearful of making ANY decision. They are afraid of the consequences of agreeing and equally terrified of the results of disagreeing. As Tony Blair once said of a certain politician, “Weak, weak, weak!”

The chairman of Mesa Petroleum said, “Be willing to make decisions. That’s the most important quality in a good leader. Don’t fall victim to what I call the Ready- Aim-Aim-Aim Syndrome. You must be willing to fire.” Any decision is better than no decision. “I’ll get back to you” and “I’ll think about it / discuss it / review it” usually means, “I’m too scared to decide – please leave me in my misery and go find a real man”. Let us decide to decide. Let us be warriors and Eagles. Let us be confident, courageous and focused. Time is money and the window of opportunity doesn’t wait. Seize the day!

The Secret Ingredient

Posted in Uncategorized at 4:38 pm by Robin J. Elliott

“The heights of great men reached and kept
Were not attained by sudden flight,
But they, while their companions slept,
Were toiling upward in the night” – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

When we sought criteria for accepting Members for our DollarMakers Joint Venture Forum, now numbering 229 world wide and growing almost daily, we started by expecting at least five years of business experience. But we realized that we knew a lot of losers who had been in business for ages. Often, people who have no business experience at all, do very well in Joint Ventures. Then we thought of requesting references, but we know that turkeys will be enthusiastically recommended by other turkeys. So we thought about the reason why people succeed in life and Joint Ventures. Here’s the secret.
What is the ingredient that makes people truly successful? Given that they have a good idea and direction, of course, I decided that the ingredient is ACTION. But a lot of people take half hearted, “leave-the-back-door-open”, cynical, mediocre action. And naturally, that doesn‘t work. Others are very keen to start off with but fade really fast when the going gets tough. They run out of energy at the first bump in the road. Weak. The Zurich Axioms contains this valuable insight: “Optimism means expecting the best, but confidence means knowing how to handle the worst. Never make a move if you are merely optimistic”
Paul J. Meyer says, “Enter every activity without giving mental recognition to the possibility of defeat…” The secret ingredient to success in any venture is ACTION, but we need to define what KIND of action that has to be. We need to take massive, determined, courageous, decisive, confident, firm and unyielding action. We need to be absolutely convinced of our purpose and passionately committed to success. As immigrants ourselves, we know that those immigrants who fail, do so mainly because of their attitude.
What have you been putting off and avoiding? It’s time to take action and to blast through fear and reluctance. What procrastination has kept you from achieving your magnificent obsession? What calls do you have to make? What letter do you have to write? What decision do you need to make? You will feel a whole lot better when you have the guts to leave the ruts and do what you know you have to do. And, if you’ve been putting off joining the Forum, look at what you’ll be missing, below – there is no charge for our Annual Members Only Convention!

Persistence Creates Success

Posted in Uncategorized at 10:18 pm by Robin J. Elliott

Calvin Coolidge said, “Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education alone will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan ‘press on’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.”

You can’t teach someone persistence. People will become sufficiently persistent to succeed only when their desire for their goal exceeds the pain and discomfort they have to endure in order to reach it. It’s simply a matter of comparison: the pain of living without your objective has to exceed the pain of paying the price to accomplish that goal. Which pain is greater? Everyone is motivated. Motivation means “A motive for action”. Some people are motivated to lie in the gutter with a cigarette and bottle of liquor. That’s what they want to do, that’s why they’re doing it. Others live mediocre lives, because they don’t want real success badly enough to pay the price to obtain it.

How do we guarantee success? DESIRE. When you want something badly enough, when you are prepared to do whatever it talkes to get it, you will become persistent. And when that happens, success is guaranteed. On a scale of one to ten, one being “It doesn’t matter” and ten being “Nothing will stop me”, how badly do you want to reach your objective? If it’s anything less than a twelve, don’t bother. FIND something that you want more than anything else. That desire will burn away fear, slothfullness, excuses, lack of attention, distraction, compromise, mediocrity and even fatigue. People who are seriously motivated are persistent and dedicated. They set extremely high standards and will pay the price. They LOVE their objective.

Persistence is the result of finding your true purpose and the result of persistence is massive success. To find your purpose, it’s good to spend time with others who already know what their purpose is. Those people will inspire you and their energy will start to invigorate you. You will seek what they have, which is purpose. And what you honestly and sincerely seek, you will surely find.

“They who lack talent expect things to happen without effort. They ascribe failure to a lack of inspiration or ability, or to misfortune, rather than to insufficient application. At the core of every true talent there is an awareness of the difficulties inherent in any achievement, and the confidence that by persistence and patience something worthwhile will be realized. Thus talent is a species of vigor.” - Eric Hoffer

Mental Toughness

Posted in Uncategorized at 9:44 am by Robin J. Elliott

What separates the men from the boys, the Eagles from the turkeys and the winers from the losers? What stops us from quitting and running away? What builds empires and achieves greatness? A small percentage of people have this admirable quality: Mental Toughness. They believe in themselves and their dreams and they are determined to win, whatever it takes.

By reading about the accomplishments of great people, listening to their speeches and mixing with winners, we are encouraged, motivated and inspired to toughen up even more. Zig Ziglar says, “When you are tough on yourself, life is going to be infinitely easier on you.” Self discipline is essential to winning the game. And Friedrich Nietzschne said, “For a tree to become tall, it must grow tough roots among the rocks.”

I encourage you to listen to and read these powerful movie speeches right now:
Preston Thomas Tucker, in the movie, “Tucker”,
General George Patton in the movie, “Patton”,

And Ayn Rand’s Howard Roark character in “The Fountainhead”
Let’s end off with listening to the cowardly lion in the Wizard of Oz:

Innovate!

Posted in Uncategorized at 11:07 pm by Robin J. Elliott

How many entrepreneurs have you met who have gone out of business, simply because they failed to keep up with the times and with their competition? Those who refuse to innovate, update and improve, those who fail to reinvent themselves, are doomed to join the ranks of that sad, pathetic group of has-beens that often label themselves as “consultants” and “coaches” and haunt the “networking” meetings. They tell wonderful stories of their past successes and promise to lead you down the same path for a tidy fee! Scary, huh?

The fact is, times change. If we don’t continually seek ways to add value, initiate new directions, woo our clients and update our technology, we will be left choking in our competitors’ collective dust. Remember the song, “When you’re in love with a beautiful woman, you watch her eyes… everybody wants her…”? Well, our customers and prospects are inundated with offers, bribes and shiny choices. They face a daily barrage of exciting options. Our competitors are constantly finding new ways to lure, entice and tempt our clients away. They become more sophisticated by the day. They spend tons of money to attract our patrons.

“If you don’t look after your wife, somebody else will!” The same applies to your clientele. Watch television. See how many times the screen changes? People get bored really fast, these days. Watch an old movie and see how fast you lose interest. We’re used to constant stimulation, and we demand more and more for less and less. We become more and more sophisticated. We expect more. We want to be wooed and romanced by our vendors, don’t we? We take so much for granted these days, and here’s a wake-up call: “Customer loyalty” is a thing of the past.

Word of mouth advertising and viral marketing are based on massive, unprecedented value. Instead of wasting your precious marketing budget on advertising that doesn’t work, why not spend it on adding value to your existing customers and paying them for bringing you more business? Innovate. Initiate. Don’t get lazy. You snooze, you lose! Don’t fall asleep at the wheel. The shepherd who falls asleep will awake to find that the wolf has eaten his sheep. Don’t underestimate your competition. He is spending money, attending seminars, reading books and finding ways to grab market share from you. He will steal your ideas. You have to constantly be five steps ahead of him.

Look at the most successful companies today: they are constantly initiating new value and inventing new benefits. Look at Google. Follow the winners. Reinvest into your business and your education. Align yourself with the top entrepreneurs. And you will lead the field.

Here’s a Quick Fix for 2006

Posted in Uncategorized at 7:42 am by Robin J. Elliott

“The first step toward success is taken when you refuse to be a captive of the environment in which you first find yourself.” - Mark Caine

Here’s a Quick Fix
When four successful people all tell me to watch the same DVD, I take action. Rika and I zoomed down to Rogers Video and grabbed “What the Bleep Do We Know”, which we watched on New Years Day. What a great start to the 2006! (Or a great start to the rest of one’s life, for that matter.) We all know that Napoleon Hill told us, “Whatever the mind of man can believe and conceive, it can achieve” – we all know about the power of positive thinking. But watching this amazing, scientific video was a powerful reminder and motivator that we will determine what 2006 holds for us.
This movie is certainly a “Quick Fix” and a “Checkup from the neck up” – it inspired me to take even greater control of my thoughts, affirmations and focus. It shows that what happens within us determines what happens outside of us, with clear, scientific proof. It reminds us that we can rewire our neuro net, change the story we tell ourselves about what the outside world is and start manifesting and co-creating the reality we so dearly desire. Control your mind and you will control your life.
I recently asked my Mother what her motto for life was. After she told me, she asked me what mine was. I answered with one word: “Responsibility”. We create our own destinies and we are responsible for our futures. We are not responsible for the choices of others, and we are not victims. We are in control, whether we want to believe that or not. Our thoughts, beliefs and expectations will repeat our present circumstances, or drag us further down, or recreate our lives and allow us to make all our dreams come true. I encourage you to get this DVD, watch it and utilize this power that we all have for the good. We’re thinking anyway – let’s switch from negative to positive. Instead of making mental pictures of circumstances we don’t want, let’s visualize what we do want.
The different people who, on different occasions, recommended the DVD, are all Members of the DollarMakers Joint Venture Forum. When we mix with the right people, they will lead us along the right path, inspire us to dream big and encourage us to achieve great goals. Tony Robbins said, “Put yourself in a state of mind where you say to yourself, ‘Here is an opportunity for me to celebrate like never before, my own power, my own ability to get myself to do whatever is necessary.’” It’s never too late to start over. It’s never too late to change your life. Let’s make 2006 the best year of our lives so far.

Joint Venture Potential

Posted in Uncategorized at 7:20 am by Robin J. Elliott

Sometimes, we need to look at the full potential of a Joint Venture in order to get really excited about it. As an example, I recently talked on the telephone with a gentleman in southern California about the potential amount of people in the world that could benefit from leaning how to broker Joint Ventures and achieve financial freedom. He got very excited.
First we looked at WHO could benefit. We agreed that age, background, education, geographic location and financial situation were not a factor. As long as a person was motivated, reasonably intelligent and had the ability to communicate, as well as learn the basic principles of Joint Ventures, they could make real money, soon, with no cost or risk.

Then we looked at WHY someone would want to use JV’s. Anyone who needs money, from employees who want to supplement their income to scholars, school leavers, entrepreneurs and business owners (not necessarily the same thing) who want top boost sales and profits, seniors, college graduates, immigrants… ANYONE who needs more money without an investment or risk and who didn’t want to wait a long time to get the money!
Also, when we know that, statistically, 87% of new businesses will fail, many people are afraid of risking their savings, time and reputation in some “Business Opportunity”. Joint Ventures is a great alternative. In fact, in my opinion, it is the only alternative.

We also looked at the other reasons why Joint Ventures would appeal to people. By earning more money and creating a regular flow of passive income, they could regain their dignity and self respect, security and control, privacy and quality of life. They could look after their family, enjoy holidays and educate their children and themselves. Visit a few seniors homes and talk with anyone who has financial problems and I know you’ll agree with me.

All of a sudden, this fellow in California got very excited at this massive potential. He asked me a simple question: “If I can get you onto radio stations and in front of people, will you pay me commissions on all resulting business?” Of course I will! Then he asked, “Can you create products to fit different situations and industries?” Naturally, I can.

When we see huge potential and we have a viable, proven tool to take advantage of that potential, we get excited, then we take action, then we get rich. Because Zig Ziglar said, “You can get anything you want out of life, if you’re prepared to help enough other people to get what they want.”

Examples of Three, Simple Joint Ventures

Posted in Uncategorized at 7:12 am by Robin J. Elliott

When people think Joint Ventures are complicated or difficult, it’s good to review some simple examples of real JV’s that I have recently done.Here are three of them:

A Member of the DollarMakers Joint Venture Forum (I only deal with Members) set up a meeting with a well-known seminar leader, who agreed to have me speak at one of his seminars. Out of the 30 people attending (each was paying $3,000 to attend the program), 14 signed up as Members. This is an unusually high percentage. Anyway, the seminar leader and the Member each made good commissions. This seminar leader has 3,500 people in his database and the next step is to arrange a more formal relationship and also to use a teleconference to sign up more Members. This is a win/win/win/win scenario, done with no cost or risk and very little time. The Member and seminar leader will naturally get good commissions on any of those new Members who attend Bootcamps in the future, as well.

Another Member, who is involved in a local church, is arranging for me to present a Bootcamp at the church as a fund raiser. We have agreed on a minimum amount payable per delegate, and all the money will go to the church. I will receive a tax receipt equal to the amount of money raised. We expect, given the amount of church members and the demographic profile, to raise between $5,000 and $10,000 for the day. The church incurs no cost or risk and uses very little time. I sign up new Members and the Member who arranges the JV gets paid on all Members that sign up. In addition, his own business will get great exposure. Everyone wins. This can work for service clubs, sports clubs and societies as well.
A third Member has linked me up with a well connected and influential entrepreneur in another country. All it took was a simple phone call. Any resulting bootcamps or business will make the Member serious money, and as I haven’t worked in that country before, the sky is the limit.

A Joint Venture Broker is simply someone who understands the power of linking people to solutions. You should spend very little time and money and take no risk. Once you have set the deal up, you can stand back and collect the regular income generated. That’s why JV’s is the ideal business.
