Magic box makes 100% interest!

Money doesn't grow on trees. Right?

My favorite learning this week was the video by Russell Brunson about his Secret Magic Box. He answers the question: "How do I make my online business profitable?" Build a magic box using resources around you that turn $1 into $2. Once you build it, put more money in it. Sounds crazy right? Maybe not...

His suggested strategies include finding experts in a field and interviewing them. Offer clips for free and a small charge or subscription for the full interview, audio or video. Make it profitable even if 99% of potential customers say no. You don't have to be an expert, or even find an expert, you just have to find someone that knows more than your audience that can articulate clearly. His web page design doesn't involve complicated design or scams. Just good information partly offered for free so anyone can sample, and a reasonable price for various mediums of delivery. 

For me these simple suggestions really fueled the fire. I realized that I have a couple areas of expertise in 3D modeling, graphic design and aquaponics. My wife is a science teacher, mother in law is a dental hygienist, master gardener and seamstress, dad is an electrician and tinkerer. My sister is a photographer, brother in law is a chemist, father in law is in finance, uncle is a butcher/taxidermist. I have people all around me that know valuable skills that would be more than happy to share.

This week I learned that I have more resources around me than I thought. It's time to get my head out of the box.
