talented but broke
There’s something I’d rather have than skill…
James here.
Just back from the Big Easy.
Spent nearly a week in the French Quarter.
On the trip - one thing stood out to me more than anything else…
More than the 200+ year old buildings…
More than the beignets…
Or even more than how busy Bourbon Street was at 9am.
As my wife and I stood in Jackson Square watching a street performer who stacked a board on top of a ball, on top of another ball, on top another board…
Balanced on 3 levels of balls and boards at once, juggled swords that were sharp enough to cut a carrot in half…
And still had enough bandwidth to crack jokes with his audience.
This performer had level 10 skills, but…
Level 2 amounts of Leverage.
The lack of leverage is what stood out.
Anyone who wasn’t within 100-200 feet of the performer?
… on that exact day…
… at that exact time…
Had no idea he was there.
Because of which?
Despite his obvious years (probably decades) of dedication and training…
He made…
…if I had to guess…
$30?
…From the dozen or so people watching him.
I hope the performer loved what he did.
‘Cuz (at least on that day) he didn’t do it for the money.
Compare that performer to someone who DOES understand leverage.
I don’t need to wait around for people to gather in front of me.
…Or hoot and holler until I draw a temporary crowd
I don’t need decades of experience.
More importantly…
I don’t have to rely on the kindness of others to eat.
In fact…
I can leverage other people’s self-interest.
…Which is waaaay more reliable than kindness.
Like Zig Ziglar said…
“You can get anything you want by helping people get what they want.”
For the past 10+ years I’ve said the only thing a person needs to make a living on the internet is to be able to talk.
If you can talk - you can…
💥Create a product
💥Create a sales letter or VSL
💥And recruit affiliates
But
I didn’t really understand the leverage in talking until I met Travis.
Now I’d say…
Being able to OPEN conversations is even more leveraged than talking.
(And can get more people what they want.)
If you can open conversations…
…and sift and sort potential partners…
You can…
👉Get other people to talk on coffee dates for you
👉Get other people’s products
👉Other people’s audiences or affiliates
👉And get other people to create your marketing
Over the past month or so…
…Inside Royalty Ronin …
We’ve developed the “Handing Out Dough” opener.
It gets replies 50% + of the time.
…Even to cold prospects who don’t know you.
“Handing Out Dough” works because…
It gives people what they want.
Which gets us what we want…
With as little as our own time and energy as possible.
(We don’t waste our most valuable resources.)
Right now…
You can get the Handing Out Dough opener…
As well as check out how Travis and Royalty Ronin are putting ‘trash can’ offers in front of other people’s audiences...
And getting paid a recurring income.
And it costs ZERO bucks.
For now.
In your corner,
James Foster
