The first thing you have to do is change your mindset. You have to start viewing your skills and experiences as money making resources.
You have to stop underestimating your ability to help someone with what you can provide — whether that’s information, a service or a physical product. When you’re first getting started making money on your own, the best way to get started quickly is to understand the different ways you can make money, and which one will work best for you.
Generally speaking, there are 3 ways to make money:1. Providing a service to someone
2. Providing information (really a subset of services)
3. Selling a product
All 3 of these can be very lucrative — it just depends on what type of business you’re most comfortable with, and what type of work you want to do.
There’s nothing more important to the growth of a service company than the quality of the people that you bring on board. But while it’s a good idea to hire people who are technically great at what they do, that shouldn’t be your number one priority:
“Over my years in business, I have had a saying when it comes to hiring: Hire character and train skills. Everything worth doing is done on a foundation of integrity and honor.” -Ross Perot, Founder of EDS
Integrity, honor, reliability, work ethic, adaptability, passion, and the desire to learn cannot be taught.
