dan what are some examples of high
income skills now if you have watched my
world triangle video you know there are
three parts to the triangle the first
part is high income skill the second
part is a scalable business and the
third part it's high return investments
and today I'm not gonna talk about all
that because you can watch the video and
you can you can I go more in depth under
the concept but for now let's just talk
about high income skills
[Music]
now for high-income skills are defined
high income skills it's a skill that
could make you a minimum of $10,000 a
month or a hundred and twenty thousand
dollars per year so and it's a skill set
that you developed then you can deliver
value to the marketplace now with the
high income skill use you're still
trading hours for dollars but you're
training your hours for high dollars and
notice I said skill it is not a job if
it's a job and it's high income job the
problem with the job is your value is
determined not by the marketplace by a
manager or by a bus so this very little
that you can do to dramatically increase
your earning ability to increase your
income versus with a high income skill
if you are better than what you do if
you are better at a closing
you're better at attracting clients you
can make more just like that so let me
give an example in my own career
my very first high income skill - I've
developed as a young guy in my early 20s
was copywriting I was writing ads and
sales letters for entrepreneurs and
companies and crafting these cells
literature's and marketing pieces for
them and I was making about 10,000 a
month as a young guy in my early 20s and
back then now I know for you watching
this a maybe maybe a lot of money may
not be a lot of money but back then for
Mike before a young guy early 20s that
felt like a million bucks like ten
thousand month was a lot of money for me
back then so
that's my first high income skill then
eventually as I was writing copy for
clients they were asking me what Dan
that's great that you write these
marketing pieces and sells coffee for us
but how gonna use it like what's the
best way to use this so well I said well
you do this and this and this and I
started giving them advice so from the
the high income skill number one skill
is cooperating and then transitioning to
you kind of consulting marketing
consultation that I was making a bell
and other $100,000 $120,000 a year doing
that so it added another six-figure
income to jamya
for those earning ability and third
after I was doing that and I was
transitioning into doing internet
marketing as from back then if you read
my book a few money if you haven't you
go to fu money poke talk on the download
it and through that period of time in a
transition I was too into the marketing
I was making it more and more money and
and then what's great and people started
asking me well then how do you do this
internet marketing stuff can you teach
us I said like what do you mean like can
you can you do a class I said do a class
like what does that look like and so
basically I got pushed into doing my
first kind of seminar and you know at
first we had a few people and then
include two you know a dozen people and
then it grew and grew to hundreds of
people then it developed my third high
income skill which is public speaking
and what's conducting these workshops
and seminars and making very very good
income doing it way more than one
hundred thousand twenty the onion twenty
thousand dollars a year doing that and
so that's my third high income skill
from there as I do more the public
speaking and then I was also speaking at
other people's platform where I would
offer my programs
and at first I couldn't I would just
teach and that's good and but people
they don't buy anything you don't take
any action so I developed my fourth high
income skill which is platform selling
that was I was able to self in a
platform in a 90 minute talk a two hour
talk a 60 minute talk being able to
deliver value but at the same time be
able to to close and convince people to
go to the back end and invest in my
program and I was selling my program for
$1,000 $2,000 and there was a time when
I would walk into a room and I will walk
out with ten twenty thirty fifty
thousand dollars in sales right so
that's another one of my high income
skill and as I made more and more money
as a consultant as a speaker it's a
platform sell speaker as well then I
went into more investing there now it's
investing now how do I after money how
do I invest what do I invest in right
that's I would consider that's also my
mind I wanted my skill set and that's
also I'd build my influence I started to
meet more business people and I started
doing the Liebherr these are kind of a
deal making brokering kind of deal where
I would simply refer other people and I
would collect a commission as a middle
person and would put together do use
these kind of deals and solve more
complex business problems as a deal
making that's another one in my hand
comes skill so my idea of the whole
thing Isabelle you develop the first
skill that you have and you stack it up
it's not about developing five skills
the same time if you build one and then
you build another and you build another
and you build another I call that
stacking on your success then you have a
layer of foundation of success first and
then you build on top of it and then you
build on top of it and then you build on
top of it and that's what I've done over
the years so all over the years my
businesses have ups and downs I've had
great years I've had horrible years I've
made some great money in some great
years I've lost a ton of money millions
of dollars in some bad years but what's
very very interesting is over the years
because I've always rely on my high
income skills to make me money
I make me money that I can count on that
even my business is not doing well I
made a bad investment it's not a big
deal because I can always fall back on
my high-income skills I can count on
myself hey I can go on stage and I can
speak I can consolidate about it I can
solve problems I can make money that way
so often Dallas that's okay and I'm
fortunate because of that I guess I've
had friends where they don't have the
high income skills and they just have
the business and when the business does
poorly I mean you can see it their cycle
I mean it I mean if they could go
bankrupt they could be in a very bad
place because they'll have that so
unfortunate even though I have ups and
downs my businesses I have my high
income skills over the years so every
single year my goal is to have my high
income skills to increase my earning
ability just by little bit every year it
could be 10% but every single year I
want to be able to use my high income
skills to make a little bit more money
so I get a little bit better what I do
and I can improve that and over the
years I never never stopped even doesn't
matter how good my business are doing I
never stopped being consultant I never
stopped being a speaker I always I just
it's a question of doing living less or
more but I always have that those income
coming in using my high income skills so
it's not so much what high income skills
I've give me some examples though which
is just what worked in my life but it
could also be I have a friend of mine
who is a ballroom dance instructor who
makes you know 10,000 a month cash by
the way because he collects guys that's
a high income skill that's perfectly
fine so it doesn't have to be all like
sales and marketing related it just
happens to be what I do you could be a
golf instructor perform what I kind of
see you you're very good at what you do
sure you can be a graphic designer you
can be a programmer you can be very as a
freelancer you can whatever you do
you're delivering value to the
marketplace helping people solving their
problems and you charge good money for
it that's a high incomes giving that's
your base that's your cash flow that's
gives you the building
