Have
you ever heard of lack of money is a little bit of a problem. You know what lack of money, it's never ever
ever a problem. What I mean by that lack
of money is simply a symptom of the problem but is not the cause of the problem
what the problem really is is lack of skill. If you haven't heard stories of lottery
winners who suddenly have a windfall money coming into their lives. Millions and millions of dollars only found
themselves a few years later broke bankrupt actually sometimes worse off when
they were financially now why is that they have money, but they don't have to
skills of the rich. I am rich, not because of my money because I started with
no money. I am rich because of my skills.
So
today I'm going to teach you the seven skills that I have mastered this seven
skills that I believe you need to understand and master if you want to be rich
now as I go through each skill I want to ask yourself the question and comment
below and rate yourself from a zero.
skill
number one the ability to talk to customers persuasively. I called that closing skill you know how to
close. Articulate the value of what you
do to your potential clients.
Do you
know how to ask powerful questions that compel people to buy. are you comfortable talking to strangers
presenting your ideas demonstrating your product or service. Closing skill. I believe it's one of the most important is
not the most important skills you need to master. If you want to be rich when you're talking to
customers. Your closing when you're
talking to vendors trying to persuade him to give you better terms. Guess what you are closing when you're
talking to your employees you are closing the desk you number one
the
number two skill that would make you rich and that is the ability to
speak. I call that public speaking skill
.you see you know the number one fear that most people have in life is not
snake and is not even death. Number one
fear most will have its public speaking.
Now why do so many people. Why
are they afraid of speaking to groups.
Most of time because they worry about if they can ascend stupid at
all. How do they look or they are afraid
because they might say something wrong.
All these things, but you look at great leaders almost all great leaders
all great public speakers such as Steve Jobs right such as Tony Robbins, Warren
Buffett, one of the skills that change my life is public speaking.
so ask
yourself, are you afraid to speak to groups .do you know how to present your
ideas to groups. Can you communicate
with conviction and certainty. Can you
interact with your audience .maybe you get sweaty palms may be you are like me
in the beginning, like your face would turn pale right knees will be locked
that's okay. It is a learnable
skill. But in order to be rich. Public
speaking is one of the most valuable skills that you must master
the third
skill that will make you rich and that is the ability to communicate with words
in print what I call persuasion in print.
I will further ask your copywriting skill now notice I said copywriting
skill, not copywriting. I'm not talking
about being all grammatically correct, although it's good to do that. I'm not talking about what you learned in
school did academic writing. I'm talking
about communication from talking about maybe's webpage. Your video I'm talking about your email. How did you communicate with written words. Now
why is it so important because in day-to-day communication emails you sent on
the social media posts of the agreement, and the contractor ,your landing post
on your blog. A lot of that is written
communication.
And when you know how to communicate
effectively through the written words to give you a tremendous amount of
leverage. I give you per example lesson, you create a social media posts and
you have a decent amount of following that gives you leverage because what you
see and what you write that is seen by hundreds of people, thousands of people
in some case it could be millions of people.
In
fact, copywriting is the very first skill that I developed as young Dan Locke
and desk. This skill that changed my
life. The highway from losing money and
not making enough money to earning $10 a month in my early 20s, so copywriting
that is not taught in school. School
part as writing but it didn't you just copywriting so that skill number three
the ability to communicate with words in print
skill
number 4 and that is the ability to communicate clearly and effectively with
your team .I am talking about your leadership skill is in order to be an
effective leader you also must be an
effective communicator. You know what the vision it is for your company and are
you communicating that with your team members. do you communicate clearly the
vision to your team.
do not incorporate good culture with the your
organization is all that is leadership skill. business is not a solo sport business. business not Only the intellectual sport but is also a team sports .as an organization you're
only as good as your team. It's very
very important to develop that leadership ability to be able to inspire, to
motivate and lead your team
skill
number five and that is the ability to manage and organize your time for
maximum results. Some people referred
that as time management of I referred that as priority management.
because at the end of the day we all only have
24 hours a day seven days a week and 365 days a year. You cannot actually manage time because we
all have the same amount of time.
However,
what you could manage is your priorities.
What are the important things you got to focus on one of the important
things that would move the needle that will help you move closer to your goals.
The problem is school never taught us how do
we manage our priorities right, you do your homework you're taking exams you taking
care of the family getting a bunch of different things, but most people would
never take the time to slow down and look at what we do and ask ourselves okay.
Why am I been doing this at all. What is the payoff of these activities .we never ask ourselves those profound questions
and at the end of day priority management really is self management.
How do
you manage your self and if every single day
You can manage your time
efficiently and effectively, when you focus on just him for things like that
two or three things that you know if you keep doing that consistently would get
you the results that you want. So which
people understand and realize the value of their time. That's why they are Boy what a cop minimum
wage activities.
If someone can get the job done costing you
less than what your time is worth We
delegated.
skill
number six and that is the ability to read financial statements. I called them financial literacy skill . now
this skill is not taught in school in school.
How do we measure how well we do . your scorecard getting a getting a b
or getting a C . in the real world in
the business world Look at your financial statements your financial
statements. They are your
scorecard. It tells us how well you are
doing financially how well are you managing your money.
Now you may be thinking what then are you
asking me to be an accountability accounting course of your bookkeeper, things
like that. No, but you do need to understand
the language of money financial literacy – the language of money, how
money works. Your your balance
sheet. Your income statement. Your cash flow statement when you look at the
statement numbers oh my God, man, I don't know what's going on ,on the making
of money is. This poor I'm having a lost
this year in business or can you read between the lines.
What
is it telling me what's the story how my managing my money right you understand
the basics of some of these vocabularies of money, credit score, return on
investment, profit and loss or capital gain capital loss depreciation A lot of
these words. That's what you have to
understand,you cannot improve something you don't measure . so the financial literacy and is extremely
extremely important skill you must master.
If you want to be rich
skill
number seven and that is the most important skill out of them all and that is
the ability to manage your own mind . I called that your mindset, skill,
frustration, negativity, beer, envy, depression, limiting belief
procrastination. How do you manage your
emotions? how to manage your mind ?
you
see you could get all the other 6 skills
right and you can master all other 6 skills but if you don't have your mindset
right is not going to work. I said many
times the book report here would the book think and grow Rich part of
thinking is managing your mind, what are you feeding in your mind.
How
many times you know exactly what you need to do to accomplish your goal to
achieve results. But you cannot get
yourself to do it because of across the nation.
Maybe how many times in your life you have opportunities slip through
your fingers and you cannot get yourself to step up and take action, because a self
limiting
and
what about how many times and you know that other people believe in you. But you don't believe yourself because of self
limiting belief that all mindset skill
Conclusion
so
those are the seven skills that would make you rich. If you want to know how went from a poverty
consciousness probably mindset to a millionaire mindset,
