Earn $10,000 per hour

Many books on time management recommend the practice of thinking of each hour of your time as being worth a specific quantity of money. It’s an extension of the “time is money” concept. First you figure out what your hourly rate is, and then you use that as a guide to determine where you should spend your time. If you want to earn more money, then you must first mentally raise your hourly rate, so you can start doing activities that are worth more. For example, if you currently earn $50/hour and want to earn $75/hour, then you have to do less and less $50/hour work as you shift to doing $75/hour work. Brian Tracy advocates this type of thinking in his time management programs, as do many other time management experts. I’ve used this model myself in the past.
I’ve spent a lot of time considering this paradigm, and at present I have only one problem with it.
It’s stupid!
It’s possibly the stupidest paradigm you can use for income generation.
While it seems enticing on the surface, in the long run it will hurt you more than help you. Let’s take a look under the hood…
The Good
On the positive side, if you tell yourself that your time is worth $50/hour, then that can help you focus. It can make you aware of those activities that clearly aren’t worth $50/hour that you might still be doing, especially if you track your time usage with a time log. Once you become aware that you’re wasting time on low payoff activities, then you can begin reducing, eliminating, or outsourcing those low payoff tasks. For example, you could recruit a part-time personal assistant to offload much of the $10/hour and $20/hour work. My wife runs an online vegetarian magazine, and she has a staff of people working for her including an assistant, editors, and writers to offload much of the work that can be done at a lower hourly rate than her own. It works great.
This seems like good common sense if you want to improve your productivity. If you can earn $50/hour, then you should spend as much as your work time as possible doing $50+/hour work, shouldn’t you? Recruit others to do any work that pays less. The benefits of this particular optimization may be hidden in a large corporate environment where personal productivity isn’t strongly linked to pay, but it’s very noticeable if you’re self-employed.
The Bad
The big problem is that when you tell yourself your time is worth $50/hour, you’re simultaneously telling yourself that it isn’t worth $75/hour or $200/hour or $10,000/hour. You’re programming your subconscious mind to limit the range of opportunities you will notice. Because you won’t be on the lookout for $10,000/hour ideas, you’ll overlook them completely. If you tell yourself you earn $50/hour, you’ll think in terms of $50/hour opportunities.
Thinking in terms of an hourly rate may help limit your downside, but it also severely limits your upside. And that’s a really bad trade-off, bad enough that it requires me to dismiss this whole paradigm as utterly stupid. There’s no way the upside of turning some $20 hours into $50 hours can compensate for missing those $10,000 hours. That’s penny-wise, pound-foolish.
One $10,000 hour is worth 200 $50 hours. That’s more than a month of full-time work! You don’t need too many of those huge payoff hours to pick up the slack of some of those less productive $0-20 hours, but if you miss out on even one of those $10,000 hours, it’s a crippling blow that overwhelms all other thoughts about financial productivity.
In the long run, your greatest financial risk isn’t whether you made the mistake of succumbing to doing $20/hour work when you could have done $50/hour work. Your greatest risk is missing those $10,000 hours. And most people miss out on them completely. It’s ironic that people think of being a salaried employee as being low-risk and being an entrepreneur as high-risk. The reality is just the opposite. One of the reasons I chose the entrepreneurial path is that it’s just way too damned risky to be an employee. I’m not kidding. It’s easy to hit a good number of those $10,000 hours as an entrepreneur, but it’s a lot harder to do so as an employee.
How many $10,000 hours did you enjoy this year?
How rare is it for a $50/hour salaried employee to experience even one of those $10,000 hours in the entire course of their career? Pretty rare I would say. Certainly not a normal, expected occurrence. But this isn’t because such opportunities don’t exist — it’s because your limiting beliefs about how much your time is worth prevent you from noticing them. Simply choosing to believe that it is possible will open the door to allowing it to manifest. You don’t need anyone’s permission to believe you can come up with an idea that you can implement in less than an hour that will earn you an extra $10,000. Such ideas are naturally plentiful, but you won’t notice them until you adopt the right mindset. Right now as you’re reading this, such an opportunity is practically staring you in the face, and you’re completely oblivious to it. It’s just like how my colorblindness prevents me from ever seeing the color red as other people can; it’s beyond my ability to perceive.
Once you release the brakes and embrace the idea that a single hour of your time could be worth $10,000 or more, you’ll almost immediately begin to notice such opportunities. I suspect you’ll uncover the first one in less than 48 hours.
The Ugly
What the heck is $50/hour work anyway? Who determines what an hour of your time is worth?
If you’re self-employed, then you set your own hourly rate. And that’s fine if your work requires hourly billing. But don’t fall into the trap of thinking that all of your working time is worth that same hourly rate. If you do that, you’ll begin to tune out much more lucrative opportunities.
If you’re an employee in a corporate environment, then your salary sets your hourly rate, depending on how many hours you typically work each week. And in this high-risk situation you have a double problem. First, you have the previously mentioned challenge of getting yourself to think outside the hourly rate box. But secondly, in corporate environments it’s rare to find fair incentives for employees to have such breakthroughs. If you have one of those $10,000 hours on the job, you probably won’t share in the rewards. You’ll just enjoy your usual $50 pay for that hour, while the company keeps the other $9950 you’ve created. At least entrepreneurs and self-employed people get to keep the whole $10,000.
Whom does the hourly rate mindset benefit? It benefits those who get to keep the extra value above and beyond that rate. But because this paradigm suffers an imbalance between value creation and reward, I think it also cripples the will to generate those $10,000 ideas. If you aren’t going to benefit from the extra value you create, then why bother to create it?
The solution is to think like an entrepreneur, even if you’re an employee. If you can devise and implement an idea in one hour that ends up saving your company $25,000 a year, I’d say you damn well deserve to be paid $10,000 for that hour of your time.
But too often employees don’t bother to negotiate such terms with their employers. They willingly submit themselves to the tyranny of the hourly rate. Having been an employer myself though, I’ll tell you that if an employee came to me and said she had a low-risk idea that would put $25,000 in my pocket and which could be implemented independently by her in an hour, and she asked to be paid $10,000 only if and when the idea proved itself, I’d be pulling out my checkbook. In fact, I’d ask her if she had a twin I could hire too. But if you don’t negotiate such deals in advance, then by default the employer receives all the value above and beyond your normal hourly rate.
If I ever found myself an employee (which I can’t imagine happening), I’d be on the constant lookout for those $10,000 ideas. I’d befriend someone who had the authority to pay bonuses in the manner described above, even if I had to work my way up the chain of command a bit. Then I’d look for simple ways to increase the company’s revenue or cut its costs that would produce tangible, measurable results. And I’d negotiate the ability to either be paid a fixed sum if the value can be determined in advance or to share in a certain percentage of whatever value was created.
If I found that my boss didn’t have the necessary authority or the will to authorize this sort of thing, then I’d keep going up the chain of command until I found someone who did. It’s simply a matter of finding someone who will directly benefit from my extra value creation. It could be a stock-owning VP, the CEO, or even an investor. People who have a direct financial stake in the enterprise will not want to see profit-creating or cost-cutting ideas being squashed unreasonably, but beneath this level, you might run into a lot more closed-mindedness. But fortunately those who share in the profits of your ideas will normally have the authority to overrule those who don’t. So don’t let your boss get in your way. If you develop the habit of implementing $10,000 ideas, you’ll soon be the boss anyway.
If I found myself working for a company or organization where this level of flexibility was impossible, I’d quit and go work in a less draconian environment. There are enough progressive companies around now that it isn’t necessary to work for one of the unenlightened ones.
All Hours Are Not Created Equal
My income isn’t based on how much time I spend working. It’s a function of the value I create. I can work a whole month and produce less monetary value than I do in one breakthrough hour. Every hour is unique.
I stopped thinking in terms of a fixed hourly rate many years ago. In practical terms an hour of my time could be worth $0, or it could be worth $10,000 or more, depending on what I do with that particular hour. Much of the time I pursue activities that don’t generate any income at all, even though I still consider it to be productive work. Answering email doesn’t seem to pay too well, and I don’t get paid an hourly rate for writing blog entries and articles. But sometimes I’ll get an idea which I can implement in just 30-60 minutes that will earn me an extra $10,000 over the course of a year, often continuing for many years thereafter. So the concept of an hourly rate, even an average hourly rate, is meaningless to me.
A recent specific example was adding those Chitika eMiniMalls ads to this site. As I previously reported, this took very little time to implement (less than an hour), but it should ultimately generate thousands of dollars a year in extra revenue. And it takes me virtually no work at all to maintain this income aside from depositing checks.
Edit 6/25/06: As it turns out, Chitika’s performance declined as they “improved” their system, so I later dropped them and no longer recommend them (along with many other bloggers). Therefore, that turned out to be closer to a $1000 hour instead of the $10,000 one it initially seemed to be. However, adding a donations page to the site, which took about an hour as well, has done much better than I expected and is easily a $10,000+ hour. So the lesson is to keep experimenting.
In the normal course of my work, those $10,000 hours are becoming more common. I normally have several a year, along with some $1000 hours, $5000 hours, and so on. Usually the money doesn’t come right away, but it still blows away the concept of an hourly rate. It wouldn’t even be accurate to say that it’s those other hours that make the $10,000 hour possible. Sometimes the $10,000 is just a random idea from out of the blue, or maybe it’s something that comes to me from a book or another person.
Almost always the $10,000 hour is the result of a great idea. And great ideas can strike at any time. When I get one of those $10,000 candidate ideas, I’ll normally drop everything and implement it right away. If it flops (and usually it does), I’ve lost an hour, but I still learned something. Most of the time it isn’t a total loss. I end up with a lot of $10, $50, and $250 ideas too. But I can afford to endure dozens of those relative flops for the chance to hit just one more $10,000 idea. And when it works, I must say it’s pretty darn nice.
It’s not that $10,000 is a lot of money per se. The idea isn’t to make just $10,000 here and there. It’s to make $10,000 for only one hour’s worth of work. That’s what makes the entrepreneurial game so much fun. You never know when one of those $10,000 ideas will strike. Imagine working each day with the very real possibility that you could earn an extra $10,000 that day, completely out of the blue. If your normal hourly rate for a full-time job was $10,000, you’d be earning $20 million per year, and in that case $10,000/hour would be no big deal. But if you earn something closer to $50/hour, then one of those $10,000 hours is a major breakthrough. And the truth is that those $10,000 hours are a lot more accessible than you might think.
Regardless of whether you’re an employee, self-employed, or otherwise entrepreneurial, don’t cap your income by thinking in terms of an hourly rate. Once you free yourself from this punishing paradigm, you’ll invite the opportunity to enjoy some of those $10,000 hours. It’s really just a matter of giving yourself permission to experience them.

The Ultimate Income Stream

It's as easy as signing up and collecting the money. This is so easy, even a caveman could do it! Simply sign up at www.greatphones.org to be an affiliate. You are going to give away free cell phones that are worth several hundred dollars each. The people getting the phones do not have to put any money up front in most cases and in a few cases $9.95 is required. Shipping is free and the customer has the cell phone in a couple days via FedEx. Now the beauty about giving away a name brand cell phone for free is that you earn $50 for every one you give away.

You get a web site that shows all of the phones, plans, and accessories, so the customer simply picks his phone and plan and it is as simple as that. The customer can even sign up as an affiliate while she is getting her phone and get paid $50 for every phone that she gives away for free.

All you have to do is direct as much traffic as you can to the web site and you are on your way to a wheelbarrow full of money. You can use Google, Overture, LokSmart, Yahoo!, or any number of Pay Per Click advertising campaigns to drive thousands of customers to your web site to get a free phone.

In other words, if you can't do this, you better go commit suicide right now and get out of the gene pool because there is simply no reason for you to live.

It's about balance

Financial freedom starts with defining what the term means to you; after all, it’s hard to find something if you don’t know what you’re looking for. To me, financial freedom means being able to afford doing whatever you want to do, whenever you want to do it. It’s about being able to enjoy life with a clear head—stress-free!
The first secret to achieving this condition is simply that you need to have the right vehicle. Happily, that’s already a given for network marketers; it comes with the territory. We are part of the greatest profession in the world, and all the stories we hear about the fairy-tale income possibilities that can come from networking are true.
The second secret to achieving financial freedom is knowing when enough is enough and when it’s time to start smelling the roses. Financial freedom is about balance. It’s knowing that if your child has a sporting event or special performance, you can schedule your business around these important things that may seem small but make your life so rich—and still accomplish your business goals!
Most people struggle with the trade-off between time and money their whole lives. Some choose time as the more important of the two, but then don’t have the money to enjoy the finer things in life. Others choose the money, but never have the time to enjoy the fruits of their labors—they get so caught up with achieving financial success that they forget about the freedom part of the goal. They forget what life is really about.
Thankfully, our special profession allows us to achieve both outrageous income and the time to enjoy it. And the best part is, you don’t have to wait to be a millionaire to have financial freedom. Financial freedom is about good planning and making the right choices along the way, choices that support your values.
I was blessed to have been introduced to our wonderful profession at an early age. My parents jumped into networking when I was a teenager and I watched our family lifestyle improve dramatically as they worked towards achieving financial freedom. It made such an impact on me that I jumped right into the profession as soon as I graduated from college. This is the only profession I can think of that could have allowed me to build a huge international business and a family rich in values at the same time.
If you work diligently in your networking business, plan your finances wisely and make balance a priority, financial freedom could be right around the corner for you!

How to Create an Immediate $200 MONTHLY Advertising Budget for Your Network Marketing Business

By Dale Calvert

"Early to Bed, early to rise, work like heck and advertise"
Ted Turner


What is your annual advertising budget for your network marketing business? It is sad but true, that most network marketers can't answer that question. They have no game plan, no routine, no real system or plan for advertising their products and business.
Most network marketers decide to advertise only after getting fired up at a corporate training, or when the home office introduces a new product or service. If there is one thing I have learned over the past twenty years about this business, it is that network marketing professionals recruit WEEKLY! Amateurs share their opportunity by chance; professionals share their opportunity by design.
Why do you think you see the same distributors advertising month after month in industry publications such as Cutting Edge, and Home Business Connection? These distributors are professionals who understand this concept.
To recruit on a weekly basis then you must implement a proven, weekly, advertising system. Why don't most network marketers recruit each week? From those I have surveyed, guess what the number one reason they tell me? I don't have the funds. The funds aren't in my budget.
One of the awesome aspects of network marketing is you don't have to have a lot of money to get started. However if you are skilled, you have mastered retailing and recruiting, you need an advertising budget for your business. You cannot build this business by throwing money at it, believe me I know many distributors who have tried!
However, it just makes sense that you must get in front of as many people on a weekly basis as your time allows. To grow your business quickly.....you MUST maximize your recruiting efforts each and every week.... especially if you are part-time.
You absolutely positively MUST recruit each week. You must "recruit by design". You must have a monthly advertising budget. But Dale, I simply don't have the funds, what do I do?
My first answer, focus on retailing more products. That is why I believe so strongly that you must have a sizzling hot product that everyone wants, and the masses of distributors can take to the market place and retail immediately.
My second answer, concentrate on saving the money you are already spending! There is no question that the average family of five can slash $200 to $400 off their monthly budget, by simply DECIDING to do so!
I know a single mother who only had $39.00 at the end of each month in extra, net disposable income. Using this technique of "saving the money you are already spending" she was able to create a $135 monthly advertising budget for her business. Quite simply her advertising budget made the difference in her success or failure. She went on to develop a powerful organization and a strong six-figure income.
How do you save money that you are already spending? Think about it, sit down with your family and make a list. Some ideas to consider:
MONEY SAVING METHODS FOR NETWORK MARKETERS
The number one way.....Grocery Coupons. Most families are throwing away hundreds of dollars each and every year but not taking advantage of the FREE MONEY every grocery in this country offers. I know they are a hassle, I know they are time consuming, and inconvenient. Not to worry, I am going to share with you an awesome secret in a few minutes that will eliminate all your excuses. IT'S FREE MONEY!
Shop at High End Consignment Clothing Stores... save up to 90% on your clothing and wear higher quality clothes. Check your yellow pages; disguise yourself if you have to, then go visit. You may be shocked at what you find. You can also sell your clothes, furniture, music CD's etc. through consignment shops.
Are you spending too much money on your long distance telephone bill? Why not take the time to shop and compare. This idea alone can save most network marketers $25.00 to $100 a month.
Need quick cash to attend a corporate convention? I know many distributors who have had yard sales and sold enough junk to have enough cash to cover all their expenses. With the evolution of Ebay and other online auction sites, this concept has become even more valid. (www.OnlineAuctionU.com)
Buy everything you possibly can in bulk. Toilet paper, canned goods, and the list goes on and on. When you think groceries, first think coupons, second think buy in bulk. There are many discount clubs such as Sams Wholesale in every major city through out the United States.
Buy your business tools and supplies in bulk. Most companies offer discounts when you order larger quantities of cassettes, literature and other training materials. Co-op with a few of your downline, sideline, or upline distributors and always parlay your cash to receive the largest discounts.
Insurance. I would estimate that 90% of the American population could save a total of $500 - $1,500 a year by simply shopping and comparing on their Life, Auto, Home, and Health Insurance.
Never pay retail. If you need software, electronics, appliances, or anything else for your home or office comparison-shop online.
I have given you a few ideas to stimulate your thinking. "Saving Money that you are already spending", really just comes down to a decision. After making the decision it is just of matter of taking the time to comparison shop. Remember every dollar you save is a dollar that can be spent towards your business advertising budget.
In our business it is not how much you make, it is how much you keep! I guess Benjamin Franklin had it right. "A penny Saved is a Penny Earned". In our case, a penny saved is a penny you can allocate towards your advertising budget. It all starts with the decision.
Make the decision now, and benefit from it NOW and for the REST OF YOUR LIFE!

A new Insight

This was sent to me :
A great note for all to read.It will take just 37 seconds to read this and change your thinking.

Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room.One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon tohelp drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room ' s only window.The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back.The men talked for hours on end.They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation.Every afternoon, when the man in the bed by the window could sit up,he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window.The man in the other bed began to live for those one hour periodswhere his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activityand color of the world outside.The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake.Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their modelboats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every colorand a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As the man by the window described all this in exquisite details, theman on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imaginethis picturesque scene.One warm afternoon, the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other man could not hear the band - he could see it inhis mind ' s eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it withdescriptive words.Days, weeks and months passed.One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths onlyto find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had diedpeacefully in his sleep.She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away. As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could bemoved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, andafter making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take hisfirst look at the real world outside.He strained to slowly turn to look out the window besides the bed.It faced a blank wall.The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window.The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall.
She said, "Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you." Epilogue:There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our ownsituations.Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled.If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money can ' t buy."Today is a gift, that is why it is called The Present ."The origin of this letter is unknown, but it brings good luck toeveryone who passes it on.

Do not keep this letter. Just forward it to your friends to whom you wish blessings.
