Using your Gifts and Talents as an Author, Speaker or Coach to Create Residual Income

Recently I met with one of my clients who is a gifted business and life coach and author. I developed his website many years ago but he never made any changes to it or did anything to market it. He wasn’t too concerned because he was selling a good number of his books on Amazon and through a book distributor. His main source of income however is through live mentoring of a business consulting group of business owners within a local geographic area. If he loses members or stops the group, his income is reduced or eliminated. This is called trading your time for dollars.

When we met for lunch, I really didn’t know what he had in mind – I just saw the bigger picture of what he could be doing. When he asked for a simple change in his website to sell his books, I asked him if he just wanted to sell books and continue trading his time for dollars or create some RESIDUAL INCOME using his gifts and talents to help many more people.

Now, I'm not telling you this to brag. I'm telling you this because I want this for you, and I believe you can do it too.

Look, I made every mistake in the book (and probably even a few that aren't in the book). I also probably started my business exactly the way you did -- as a solopreneur.
