Hello friends. Well, I’m finally catching up from traveling to two excellent conferences this past couple of weeks (AIN & NASAGA). During the past two and half weeks we’ve conducted three more Biznik Live shows focused on “Surviving & Thriving Amidst Economic Uncertainty”. In this and the next few blog posts, I’m going to share a little about each show. I hope the following summaries tempt you into listening if you haven’t already! The audio in this 2nd show was somewhat poor, but there was some great content -enjoy!What did Tim & our audience cover in this second Biznik Live show?
- A summary of the Four Hour Work Week DEAL (Define->Eliminate->Automate->Liberate)
- Clarification on the somewhat controversial chapter on Automation
- The importance of testing, testing, testing (before investing $, time, effort)
- Should you hold onto your assets during the current economic uncertainty?
- Taking advantage of the likely drop in offline marketing prices during this recession (Radio & TV spots)
- Ruthlessly applying the 80/20 Pareto Principle to your business
