Money comes to you when you do this one thing!

Article Overview: What is the solution you offer your clients? Not what you think the solution is, but the actual solution. The greater the solution, the more money they are willing to give you.

Money comes to you when you do this one thing!

"Money comes to your when you find a solution for your client's problems. The bigger the problem, the more money you will attract. It's as simple as that," Stephen Pierce.

Think about the last product or service you purchased because you had a problem. It is likely you were willing to pay more if you believed that the purchase would solve your problem in a timely fashion.

A great example for me is with our dog Aries. We have lots of pets and love each and every one of them. Our four legged companions bring great joy to us.

Each has a quirk I can live with and their quirks actually make them rather charming to me. That is, except for my Boxer.

If you know anything about Boxers you know they tend to have terrible flatulence. This is not at all uncommon in Boxers. However, it has gotten to the point that I simply wanted (and needed) a solution. Not only did I need some relief from the situation, I have no doubt Aries did too.

Our vet suggested purchasing special enzymes known to improve the condition. He informed us that most health food stores would carry the enzymes.

Today I took a drive to my favorite health food store. I asked a clerk where the enzymes were. He walked me to the aisle that contained the solution. At that point in time I was not concerned with price. I only want the problem to minimize drastically.

I turned the bottle over and realized it was rather pricey. But you know what? I didn't care. All I cared about was a solution.

The interesting thing is, if Aries didn't have such a bad problem (which equates to my problem) I likely would not have paid what I did. But.....because there was an immediate need to what has been a growing problem, the price was a minor consideration. The solution a major consideration.

Because I found a solution from a very helpful clerk it is likely I will do even more shopping at this particular store.

The point of me sharing this is not to necessarily talk about Boxer dogs, it is to give you a great example that when the problem is big enough people are willing to pay for the solution.

What is the solution you offer your clients? Not what you think the solution is, but the actual solution. The greater the solution, the more money they are willing to give you.

So rather than think in terms of how much money you are going to charge, think in terms of how big of a solution are you? When you are absolutely clear on this money will come to you in greater amounts.

Re: Which would you start: a Blog or Online Community? - It is a difficult decision to make. Lets start it this way - What are you more interested in? Money? or Friends? or Both? If its purely Money, then Blog might be an appropriate answer. But consider this - It will be people (visitors) that will bring traffic to your blog and then Money will follow. This will be possible after a time and during this time it will be your friends who will be the starters. If you are looking for friends only, then its true that not many will be interested in knowing how you have beaten them in the game or the other way round. So it will be preferable to have a Forum where they can share ideas with you and others. But you can share your insider knowledge with them and invite comments from your Blog. You can also put up information on what others (including your friends) don't know about Tennis. The blog you create can provide News, Inside Information and also Techniques that can be used by the new entrants in the world of Tennis.
Making Money in 2011 - Hello forum members! As we draw closer to the new year I thought it would be appropriate to change the title of our forum category "Making Money in 2010" to "Making Money in 2011" - I'm looking forward to some interesting discussions and wish everyone a prosperous New Year!
QuickBooks vs. Microsoft Money vs....? - I have always used Microsoft Money to run my business - accounting, invoicing, etc. It came with my computer when I got it and integrated well with my online banking system so everything is a breeze. It only takes 30-60 minutes every quarter to do the bookkeeping (keep in mind that I have a very simple business - no inventory, very little invoicing, I do all my payments by credit card, etc). Is QuickBooks or Money the best accounting tool for small business owners? Or is there something even better?
Re: What or Who Sparks Your Business Interest - It's interesting to see what the different motivations are by Age Category. I've noticed this around me: 20 to 29yr olds: Motivator: Money 30 to 39yr olds: Motivator: Success/Ambition 40 to 49yr olds: Motivator: Family comes first 50 to 59yr olds: Motivator: Leaving a legacy i've only gone that far in my analysis. Of course this is a braid generalization but I find that it helps direct my marketing to individuals in different age brackets. The product/service can be the same but the Marketing message (Benefit Statement) to a 20 year will revolve around "Money" vs. a 30-something would be on their "Self Image"
Re: How do you critique a small business? - There are so many great comments here. One thing that is missing is alignment of the business with the owner's values and the employees' values. We all have values and if there is a disconnect with our personal and business values, the business could be exposed to serious trouble. It might sound like fluffy talk, but I'm actually referring to the bottom line: Money! Consumers will not continue to buy products that don't align with their values, employees will be unhappy (read less productivity and increased sick time and maybe even quit), and the owner will not be fully satisfied either. I could go on and on, but you get the picture. Every dollar saved translates into dollars earned. Here's the power of values... there is a certain clothing designer that myself and others I know simply will not support because that person is openly racist. I can tell you I like their stuff, but I will not buy it! I could provide values tests for the potential winners to fill out and make the comparison. The great thing is that whoever fills it out will also be appraised of an area in their business which could be strengthened. That in itself is a huge reward!
