The 5 rings of profit
Sep 30, 2021 12:01 pm
Hello ,
As promised...
Starting today I'll be spending sometime this week...
Sharing a few ideas about how you can start to bring the power of recurring in into your business.
But before we get into all that...
It's important for you to have a grounding in a concept that I learned a while back from Robert G. Allen in his book "Multiple Streams of Income".
That's pretty much the book that launched me into this field...
And the concept that I'm referring to is called The Five Rings Of Riches.
Here's how it works:
Ring 1: You develop a core expertise.
This could be expertise you have developed as a result of your career or expertise that you license from someone else.
In the case of the lovely lady who asked the question about creating consistent income during our first Askmeanything session...
Her core expertise is doing make up and she's pretty awesome at it.
Ring 2: Teach others specific how to strategies from your core expertise
So first you develop a core expertise...
Then you teach others how to succeed at your core expertise...
Now there are 6 primary ways of delivering your core expertise profitable:
- Speaking ( virtually or in person for a fee or to sell something else.
- Authoring (Books, videos, audios, digital products, courses etc)
- Training (workshops, programs)
- Mentoring (Management consulting, apprenticeship programs etc)
- Facilitating (retreats, mastermind programs, MCing etc)
- Coaching
These ways of delivering your expertise can be further broken down into specifics but that's a conversation for another day.
Here are a few though:
Book Author: Selling information to other publishers
Desktop publisher: Self-publishing for yourself or others
Seminar promoter: Selling information in seminars
Public speaker: Selling information from the platform
Newsletter editor: Selling info in periodic format
Software programmer: Selling apps and software
Personal consulting: Selling personalized, one-on-one info
Professor/teacher/trainer: Education, corporate, public
Freelance writer: Selling info in magazine articles/blogs
Media expert: Informing those who inform others
Talk show: podcasts, tv shows, webshows
Magazine publisher: Packaging info in magazine format
The main thing here is to understand that there are more than one ways to take your expertise to the world...
Most of us don't actually explore everything that's possible.
Ring 3: Go from specific knowledge to general knowledge
IN other words...
Use your specific expertise to teach general success principles.
So in the case of our Make up expert...
Not only can she make money from teaching make up...
She can also step out into the following spaces as a result of her 7years+ experience as an entrepreneur:
Success Trainer—General Subjects
Success and motivation
Leadership
Goal setting
Time management
Stress
Business Consultant—General Subjects
Running a successful micro business
Entrepreneurship
Social Media Marketing
Strategy
Ring 4: Selling relevant things to your audience
There's so much potential in this.
Back when I actively built the facebook group...
I represented an online payment solution that I promoted to my audience.
I made a modest predictable income by simply referring people to the payment solution.
Ring 5: Offering support services to other experts in your field or outside your field
This is about focusing on helping others in your field or other fields become better based on what you have learned...
That's pretty much what I do on HPEN and it's a killer profit generator if you what you're doing and if you get your timing right.
It's a highly competitive space these days.
Understanding the 5 rings of riches in the expert space is vital to your success as an expert...
Why?
Because as I shared yesterday at PUSHING THROUGH BOUNDARIES...
Entrepreneurship is about moving resources from areas of low productivity to areas of high productivity...
Sometimes...
The primary barrier to creating consistent recurring revenue is putting yourself in a box as far as delivering your expertise is concerned.
I'll share more about this in the coming days...
But tomorrow...
I dig more into the core 5 things to focus on when building recurring revenue.
And if you're game for something even more tactical...
