Ten Ways to Increase Your Business Profits in 2010

As we stand at the threshold of not only a new year but a new decade, now is the time to plan and set goals. Robin J. Elliott wrote the following article and I would love to share the contents with you. He does it so brilliantly and my philosophy is why reinvent the wheel?

Ten Ways to Increase Your Business Profits in 2010
Robin J. Elliott www.DollarMakers.com


1. Improve Your Image:
• Update your website – you can create a brand new one or move and improve what you have, for a mere $20 per month. Outdated information and cheap looking websites sabotage your success.
• Get new, professional headshot photographs of yourself and high quality photos of your business, team, and products – it’s cheaper than you think, and the return on investment is amazing.
• Get decent, high quality business cards, and only hand them to people you actually want to do business with.

2. Your Time:
• Most of us are doing minimum wage work instead of spending our time of things that make us real money. “Urgent” is not always “Important”. Also, we do things we’re not good at in order to “save money” – you can get an excellent Virtual Business Manager (I personally recommend this one) that will give you the time to work ON your business instead of IN it, and make a lot more money. Focus on things that make money.

3. Cut Your Costs:
• Put employees onto pure profit share / commission, instead of salaries or “base salary plus commission.” Pay only for real results. Your in business to make a profit – you’re not a social welfare service. Fire useless, non-productive employees (especially relatives). Cockroaches live for nine days without their heads – don’t hire cockroaches just because you’re related to them.

4. Use Joint Ventures to create more referrals than you can handle:
• This is the ultimate leverage, the most elegant, smart, and sophisticated way to do business and increase profits with no cost or risk. More information here.

5. Build Back-end income:
• Back-end income can be 100% profit with no cost, risk, or time, and it goes directly to your bottom line. Very powerful. More info here.

6. Create Buying Criteria:
• Show people why you’re the only logical and safe choice, and you will increase your profits. Use reports, conference calls, and Gift Certificates to spread the good news at no cost.

7. Teach your salespeople to sell and to use Joint Ventures:
• Even poor training improves sales, and most salespeople are dismally under-trained and poorly equipped. Teach then to use Joint Ventures and to CLOSE sales.

8. Understand how to use trade, barter, and alternative reciprocation.
• This opens new doors and can push your profits skyward quickly. More info here.

9. Stop wasting time and money on “networking” events, service clubs, and sponsoring sports events.
• Work out how much an hour of your time is really worth, consider opportunity loss, and then look at the return on investment from your service club and networking club memberships – you will be shocked and dismayed. Mixing with broke, self-employed salespeople and posers or those who have no interest in business, just because you’ve done it for so long, isn’t a good idea. Stop kidding yourself. Reallocate that time and energy.

10. Set new, specific, measurable goals:
• Get serious about success. Set goals for yourself and with your team, and hold them accountable.
• Take a good, hard, objective look at your business. What are your alternatives? What resources can you leverage? Change is important for growth. What does your future hold? Take full responsibility.

Four Suitcases, Money, and Twelve Years in Canada

by Robin J. Elliott www.DollarMakers.com

Twelve years ago, on December 1st, 1997, Rika and I arrived in Canada as new immigrants from South Africa. Most people don’t know that I wanted to immigrate to America, but Rika persuaded me that Canada was a better choice. As usual, she was right. We had never been here before, but all our research showed that Canada is the best country in the world to live in, and Vancouver the best city in Canada as far as climate and quality of life is concerned. After twelve years, we believe we made a smart decision. Short of marrying Rika, immigrating to Canada was the best decision I ever made.

As immigrants, we were very grateful to be accepted as guests and indeed “family” into this country – since we had never contributed anything to making it a great country, and had it handed to us on a plate, it was an enormous privilege and gift, and remains so. We left at the top of our game, as successful business owners with a lavish lifestyle. We arrived here with four suitcases, no contacts or family, and after realizing our assets, helping family, and paying off taxes and outstanding debts, we had our net worth divided by four to get Canadian Dollars. That’s what we brought with us, plus our motivation, skills, and ambition. We never took Canada for granted or “worked the system” as so many immigrants do. A few years later, when we were granted Canadian Citizenship, I was so grateful that I cried like a baby.

Rika and I live by two mottos, one borrowed from the great, late Paul J. Meyer: “Whatever you vividly imagine, ardently desire, sincerely believe, and enthusiastically act upon, must inevitably come to pass.” The other is from Zig Ziglar: “You can get anything you want out of life, if you’re prepared to help enough other people to get what they want.” It has worked for us. We continue on our mission to help others around the world to do the same. We want to contribute much more to Canada than we have received and will receive.

Those who had the chance to leave, but chose to stay in South Africa, live in an increasingly dangerous, violent world that deteriorates daily like most African countries. We are very grateful to have escaped to a wonderful country of unlimited opportunity and exquisite natural beauty, quality of life, safety, and fantastic people. It was a huge adaptation (I was 45 years old), but we decided that we would burn our bridges, never look back, and never even consider quitting or returning to a country that had changed so quickly from being the diamond of Africa to a world of savage murder, rape, filth, government corruption, racism, and hopelessness. It paid off. Kayaking in Indian Arm, boating in Howe Sound, snowshoeing and skiing on Mount Seymour, hiking along pristine rivers and living in comfortable, first class, beautiful surroundings is a great privilege.

Having my incredible, loving wife and business partner by my side has made our transition and new life an exhilarating and joyful experience. She is my raison d’etre, and the love of my life. My main reason for immigrating was a picture I have burned into my mind in 1979 of a frail, little old lady standing alone in a long line of ruffians at a bus stop in Bulawayo, Rhodesia, a month before the criminally insane Mugabe became the president and started his reign of terror. I wanted to know that my wife would be safe and living in a first world, decent country, and, as I predicted, South Africa is going the same way as Zimbabwe.

Today, as I rode my bicycle through an enchanted forest along a rushing river, I knew that I could never adequately put into words how grateful I am to live here, but I have tried. Since I am now a Canadian citizen, I have a message to other immigrants: If you don’t want to learn the language, adapt to the rules of our new country, and behave like a decent human being, if you insist on working the system and bringing your family into Canada illegally, and forcing your medieval beliefs and savage values onto this civilized society, you should be jailed or deported back to the hovel you crawled out of. You’re lucky to be here, but you take it for granted. You don’t deserve it. But for those who share my attitude towards Canada, the sky’s the limit here – you have made the best choice to choose Canada.

A very sincere “Thank you” to all the people who have helped us succeed in Canada – we hope to enrich your lives. And to those xenophobes who are threatened by our success and jealous of our achievements, and have tried to sabotage our success, I say, “Breaking the mirror won’t change who you are.”

We plan to build a lot more value for the people of the True North Strong and Free; we’ve only just begun.

We had a lot of fun at the members meeting in Vancouver. Not only did we have our members attend, but were also honored by a visit from Snow White and Claudette Gallant, the Queen of the Red Hat group called "Knickers, Nighties and Hotflashes!"

The end of the year is fast approaching. It is hard to believe that it’s already the end of November. On your profile on the DollarMakers Women’s Club site we have an area where you stated your specific, measurable, attainable, exciting, written goals to attain by Christmas December 25, 2009. When I started writing this, we were exactly one month away from Christmas. It’s time to take stock. Have a look at the goal you set yourself. Decide today what action you need to take to make it happen.

Last night on the conference call we discussed the fact that we’ll soon be making new year’s resolutions. Robin and I always make time to set our goals for the New Year. Last year we were in Cuba and we sat on the beach discussing our plans for the future and we set our goals for 2009.

It is never too early to start planning. Joint Venture brokers understand the importance of planning. To be successful, you need to know what your goals and objectives are. We need to tweak our plans and goals to make sure that they’re still relevant because results that are off by an inch today will be off by a mile in 2010. Focus on meeting your goals even while planning for all the festivities. You will be meeting friends and family and this could be a huge opportunity to help you reach your goals. Use This excellent service to help plan and predict your financial progress – highly recommended: http://www.JVMMA.com

The best place to start is to ask your self the following questions

1. What are you looking for?
2. What do you have to offer?
3. What do people you know have to offer?
4. What are they looking for?
5. What do their contacts have to offer?
6. How can you help them?
5. Who do you know that is a centre of influence?

These questions will help you to stay mindful and will be a good start to formulating your action steps for 2010.

At our meeting in Vancouver I invited a good friend of mine to attend as a mystery guest. During the evening I asked the ladies if they knew who the mystery guest was. Nobody had any idea.

When I revealed her name, people were surprised. The reason I invited her was because we never know who we could meet or what they have to offer. Claudette is a Centre of Influence who has been very helpful to me.

I would love to share the feedback she gave me after the meeting:

“Thank you for the fun evening. You have a lovely group of ladies all looking for the answers as to what they can do now, as they have matured and want to make changes... some of the ladies seem to be on the right track, others will take time to find out and continue on with their journey to success. Great that they have you there to show them the way, and that Robin can step up to the plate to help them look in the right direction for success.

The young lady in costume seems like someone you just want to hug and wish all the best; she has a good background and all will take off for her in the next year or so. Beautiful voice when singing.

My surprise visit, brought smiles and lots of questions… kind of a break to take all the ladies’ minds off work, finding their place in life, etc... was great to see the smiles and relaxed look on their faces.

Thank you. Talk soon. Claudette”

Success Is Like Shooting Guns… Really!?
Shawn Christenson

What’s the one thing that all successful joint venture brokers have in common? It’s that they’ve all taken action. In fact, ANY successful person shares this very same trait.

The most successful people in the world believe in a philosophy of “Ready, Fire, Aim”. What this means is go and take action TODAY, see what your results are, learn from any mistakes you may have made, and then try again. Pull the trigger today, get the bullet flying, and then figure out what target you want to hit.

Ask any real successful person if they got to where they were by executing their plan exactly as they had originally designed it, and they will tell you “no”. They took action and then adapted their plan to individual situations as they occur. And becoming a successful Joint Venture Broker is no different.

If you’re ready to “pull the trigger” and put together an easy Joint Venture in the next 48 hours, then I have great news for you today...

Shawn Christenson of JVWisdom.com has put together a short video (7:28 mins) that explains how you can use coupons or gift certificates to create a stream of passive income for yourself. This is one of the most popular and most talked about joint venture strategies. It’s fast, it’s easy, and you can literally put together a joint venture tomorrow using this strategy.

video: http://www.jvwisdom.com/coupon

But that’s not all. Because Shawn is truly interested in helping people achieve real-world results, he’s also included 10 complimentary coupon templates as well as an amazing Quickstart Guide that walks you step-by-step on using this strategy to form a joint venture. It’s the complete package; it’s all there. The only thing it’s missing is two legs and a heartbeat.

The Quickstart Guide walks you through every necessary step to put this strategy to work for yourself. It even includes a professionally written “swipe-and-deploy” letter you mail to businesses you’d be interested in setting up a joint venture with and scripts for talking with the owners and managers that have the ability to make the decisions.

Just watch the video to get an idea of how you use the strategy, and then download the templates and the guide, and take action tomorrow and form a joint venture. You will be surprised just how easy this strategy is to put together a profitable joint venture.

The reality of life is that if you’re sitting and waiting to get all of your “ducks in a row”, life is very quickly going to pass you by, and you’re not going to see any results. Get yourself out of “analysis paralysis”. Get off your butt, grab your gun and pull the trigger.

A Spoonful of Sugar

Do you remember the words from the movie, “Mary Poppins?” Maybe you’re too young for that. We don’t always want to do what is good for us. We all have people telling us what would be good for us, but we choose not to take the advice, no matter how good it is. I know I am guilty. Often my wonderful husband Robin will recommend a book or a video clip that he feels I should watch, or an article in a magazine he wants me to read. But like many of you, I have a busy life and I don’t always make the time.

Recently he recommended that I read Rich Dad’s “Conspiracy of the Rich” The 8 New Rules of Money.” I finally picked up the book and started reading. It was a real revelation to me how little we know and understand about the world of economics. The most important thing I learned is that we need to be educated about how money works. We need to take responsibility for our financial education. It’s the only way we’ll be able to make sense of what’s happening with the stock markets and housing markets crashing and people losing their retirement money, to name but a few.

Recently, Robin started working on a new project and once again encouraged me to have a look at a video that one of his Joint Venture Partners created. Oh dear, I thought - here we go again. I’m so busy! I have newsletter to write, phone calls to make, laundry and shopping waiting to be done and the list of excuses goes on and on. Yet this morning I decided to click on the link he sent me. It was a real eye-opener, and I was shocked to see how little I know and understand. Most of us have owned property and paid a mortgage or will be at some stage of our life. I could not believe my eyes when I saw this information.

This is the kind of information we all need and we should share it with the people we know and love. We don’t get financial education at school, and yet we are out there making decisions about our futures that will affect us for years to come! To make the medicine go down, I’ve added a spoonful of sugar. We will have a special guest on our next conference call to talk about how we can make better financial choices. I encourage you to make it a priority to hear Jimmy Jayes. You will never think about money in the same way. He will explain how you can create real wealth through strategic planning.

I am very selective as to whom I will allow access to my ladies, but this information is important enough that it warrants our time and attention. It fits in very well with my goal to be educated and to educate my fellow Members so that we can make money and keep the money we make.

I learned a lot from just watching the online videos, and I know that when you see this strategic approach you will get VERY excited about Joint Ventures. Click here to see what I am raving about: http://www.JVMMA.com

Women Now Get Jobs Faster Than Men – But Do You WANT a Job?

While it’s easier now for women to get jobs than it is for men (see article below), the real question is whether or not you should TAKE a job. DollarMakers specializes in helping people achieve financial freedom with more residual income per month than they need to live on. Last night, Robin returned from a presentation he gave, to excitedly inform me that Patrick Giesbrecht’s record of retirement within seven months with more residual income than he need to live on has just been broken by Dick Low – FIVE months to freedom!

Does it make sense to continuously work to survive, while you could be using that time to create complete time and money freedom? Dick Low achieved his goal PART-TIME. When Robin and I got into business, we agreed that Robin wouldn’t quit his job until the income from the business exceeded his salary. It only took one month.

The fact is, the income tools we provide you are proven and solid, and anyone can use them to break free from the yoke of employment so that you can do what you love, and have all the time and money you want to live the life of your dreams.

In a Globe and Mail article dated October 9, 2009, "Why there are more jobs for women than men", Chaya Cooperberg writes,

"September was a good month for women looking for jobs, according to the latest Statistics Canada report. For men, not so much. Last month’s overall employment gains were among women aged 25 and over (up 41,000 jobs) while employment fell for men aged 25 to 54 (down 17,000 jobs).

Since last October, when the recession set in, the majority of employment losses have been among men. The decline can easily be attributed to weakness in the manufacturing and resource sectors, traditional bastions of male employment. But one economist believes there is more to the story.

“When a man loses a $30 per hour job and what’s on offer is a temporary or contract job at $15 an hour, he may hold out,” says Armine Yalnizyan, senior economist at the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives. “A woman is much more likely to roll up her sleeves and just take the job.”

According to Ms. Yalnizyan, this is a trend that has held true in every recession. “Men typically have higher-paying jobs and it's harder to replace those wages. Women are picking up their pace. They’re willing to protect the household budget no matter what it takes.”

To be fair, much of the recent job creation is in areas of the public service sector such as education and health care, where women tend to dominate. Public sector employment grew by 36,000 positions while work in the private sector fell in September.

Still, the numbers behind the Statscan report show that women are taking on a lot of contract and casual work. Many women, especially those over age 55, are turning to self-employment. These jobs are temporary or unpredictable, leaving families with less control over their finances. To Ms. Yalnizyan, the shift in the workforce combined with Canadians’ debt loads is ominous.

“People are overly bridged on home ownership and it’s based on a household budget of two incomes,” she says. With home ownership at record levels, a growing portion of Canadians are wondering whether they can afford to stay in their house. “There is an economic dislocation waiting in the wings,” Ms. Yalnizyan predicts.

Until the private sector recovers and creates new jobs, women are likely to continue to drive employment gains, to support their families’ budgets and hold onto their homes. As long as this trend holds, we’re in for a ‘he-cession’ and a ‘she-covery’."

Perthaps it’s time, ladies, to go from “surviving” to “thriving”?

Rika with our very own Cinderella at the Vancouver meeting

From the desk of Rika Elliott

This has been an incredible week for the DollarMakers Women's Club. We had two members meeting this week. One in Edmonton and one in Vancouver.

We had Dean Ponak as our guest on the conference call and he showed us a way to create financial freedom in the form of residual or passive income through the use of Joint Ventures. It's a simple, proven,easy-to-implement system that any woman can use. For more information read the article on my blog "A Little Money Machine That Can Grow Big."

Vancouver

The meeting in Vancouver was well attended and the ladies made it into a really amazing evening,sharing their passions with us. Gwen revealed that she would love to have a new smile and Tang shared a photograph of her mother and brother that was only 3 weeks old when they had to flee for their lives. Diana told us about her amazing experience in Africa.
Many ladies found it a challenge to answer the question and it was very interesting how the other women encouraged them. Knowing what it is that you want is the first step to taking action. Once we know the why, the how's becomes clear.
Diana played the piano, Denise brought cupcakes and Joyce made sure every body was well fed. Maria and Gwen stepped up and did the registration for us and Lynnette with the help of Joyanna made sure that the meeting ran smoothly.
These meetings are incredible valuable as we get to know each other and build relationships with other members. I know many connections were made.
Alicia came wearing her hot button and was dressed like Cinderella. She sang "A Dream is a Wish your Heart makes" This was a perfect song to go with the topic of the evening!

Edmonton

Jillian Brock very ably hosted the meeting in Edmonton. Each woman brought something that represented what their Hot Button is: It was amazing to see how people change when they are discussing what REALLY excites them, keeps them up at night and wakes them up in the morning. One of the women was terrified about speaking because she did not know what her Hot Button was. After asking open-ended questions, she ended up speaking about what her real passion is...and WOW...what a transformation.

The goal is to have these meetings focus on real joint venture strategies...practice them...then come back with successes or failures that we can all learn from. We do not want this to just be another 'networking meeting’. We all know how to meet and get along with people, but we are not sure how to monetize our networks.It's time to take action!


Keep your dreams alive and take action doing Joint Ventures to make them a reality. Joan Baez said : Action is the antidote of despair.

A Little Money Machine That Can Grow Big

What would an extra $300 per month, every month, mean to you? A lot? A little? What would you do with it? What difference would $600 or $1,000 every month make to your life, if it was passive income? How about five thousand dollars a month? After 23 years in this business, I know it’s quite feasible to create that kind of passive income, and a lot more, if you know what you’re doing and work at it consistently.

The mission of DollarMakers and the DollarMakers Women’s Club is to teach and guide people to create financial freedom in the form of residual or passive income through the use of Joint Ventures. We share proven, simple, easy-to-implement systems that any woman can use, regardless of her background, age, or education, and whether she has a business or not. And here’s the best part: No selling, no cost, no risk! And you can do this part-time or fulltime. We’ve got the recipe, if you’ll do the work.

Right now, I’m excited about a great new Joint Venture opportunity that conforms perfectly to all our criteria for an ideal passive income generator – a lovely little money machine / dollarmaker that can grow as big as you want it to. Women are generally more patient and harder working than men, and we understand not to despise small beginnings. We understand the cumulative and compounding effect of our consistent actions and choices, especially if we’ve raised children or done any gardening or farming. And we know how important it is to follow the recipe, right, girls?

Here’s a little business that you can put as much or as little time as you want into, and there’s no selling or risk involved. It’s not MLM /.Network Marketing, and it’suncomplicated. Most people want a website these days, and many people who have websites are tired of being ripped off and frustrated by their so-called webmasters. Dean Ponak came up with a brilliant solution, and teamed up with DollarMakers to create a $20 per month website service – no upfront costs, no contract, no hidden fees – easy to do – a professional, great-looking site that you make and maintain yourself, and you don’t need to be a “techie!” If you can e mail, you can use this service.

And here’s the BEST part – everyone that uses your affiliate link to get their own $20 per month website earns you $10 per month – that’s right – you get half their monthly subscription. Now, as I said, there’s no selling required. In fact, Robin J. Elliott and Dean Ponak have put together a complete training program to show you how you can build a $5,000 per month passive income within six months with this system. Your cost? $20 per month, and WORK. We’ve got the system, the recipe, the support, everything you need.

They’re presenting a public seminar on how this works here in Langley, BC, November 17.

Joan Baez said, “Action is the antidote to despair.” Margaret Thatcher said, “If you want anything said, ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman.” I say, if you want $5,000 per month in residual income, click here right now: http://www.jvwebpartners.com/copy.html

Success will never be a step in the future

"Success will never be a step in the future, success is a small step taken just now." ~ John Martensson

Being successful does not happen overnight. Signing up to be a Member of the Dollar Makers Women’s Club will not solve all you problems overnight or make you instantly successful. We all need to take daily steps towards our goals.
Knowing what your goals are is only the first step. The most important part on your road to success is taking action. Break it down into manageable steps.
Most of us have been on a diet at one time or another. It’s overwhelming when you think you have to loose 20 lbs. But if you say you want to loose a pound a week, it’s much less daunting. How many of us, by procrastinating and saying, “I’ll start my diet on Monday”, have come to the realization that we need to take action now or the 20 pounds will become 40?
The same principle applies to our business. It takes time, it takes work, and it takes patience and persistence.
I spoke to a member of the DollarMakers Women’s club this morning. She had been working consistently on her business but was starting to feel despondent. Then out of the blue, she got a referral from a DollarMakers Member and with the other business she’s built up over time, she is now very busy and very happy, and smiling all the way to the bank!
Make no mistake, it’s not always easy. You will meet many people that will waste your time or try to take advantage of your good nature, but the key is to move on and leave them choking in your dust. At DollarMakers, we’ve created a pool of enthusiastic, honest, and reliable people who are waiting to do business with you.

I would like to leave you with this thought "Whatever women do they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good. Luckily, this is not difficult." – Charlotte Whitton.

Now go forth and Joint Venture!
Rika
