Default Reflections on Some lessons I learned....

Hi Dien, Duane, Richard and everyone....

Thank you, Dien, for such a powerful synopsis of "The Money Game." It was a great reminder of many principles of success.

> 1 . The winner of "The Money
> Game," Cameron Fisher, not only made
> the most money but also did the least work.
> How can that be?

***This is a principle I am studying A LOT these days, as it seems many people are jumping on the "Work Less, Make More" bandwagon. It just seems to make great sense to me.

One way I do this is to write one article and then I recycle and reuse it on different venues, I use it in different products such as courses, books, classes, coaching, audio programs, etc etc etc. Created once, used SO many times. All valuable and all valid, with slightly different audiences.

> 2 . Having said that, they knew what
> services were available.

> Learning this lesson caused me to really
> study my Yellow Pages.... I flipped through
> it, to familiarize myself with the
> categories, and what services are available
> to me. Many others also get Yellow Pages
> from other cities, so they have them
> available....

****Excellent idea, Dien. I am going to try this one on myself!

> 4 . The power of being able to sell
> something before you have to pay for it.
> Cameron Fisher, again, used this principle
> to great effect....

****I call this the "Show Me The Money" principle. (Wasn't Jerry Maguire a great movie? I thought Cuba Gooding, Jr. was terrific.

Why hand over the goods without the money on the table? What is that old saying, "A bird in hand is worth........"

> 5 . Have more than one profit source.
> Everyone on the show had plans for more than
> one profit source for what they did....

****I am planning some downtime this spring and summer. I am diligently creating some products to support "me" when I am not physically here sitting in my home office. This is one of the most exciting times in my business life!

Thank you, again, Dien, for all of your insights!

With Purpose and Passion,

JULIE JORDAN SCOTT
