If you really want to make money monetising your knowledge, there are 5 key areas you absolutely need to deal with.

Let's look at them. (Short Thread)
1. Overcoming limiting beliefs and thought processes preventing you from truly succeeding.

You know a lot of things.

You've read many books.

You've taken several courses, attended trainings and webinars.

You've paid a lot of money learning and improving yourself.
But somehow, you are still struggling with the idea of asking people money for your knowledge.

You are afraid no one will see you as an expert.

You are afraid people may see you as a fraud.

You feel you are not qualified to sell your knowledge yet.
Maybe if you take another course or read just one more book, you'll be ready.

These are limiting beliefs.

And there are more.

Until you break and overcome these beliefs, you won't truly achieve success selling your knowledge.
2. Understanding your market to a T.

Whom are you meant to serve?

Not everyone will pull out their cards to pay you for what you know.

Some will even hate you for selling.

But there is a select group of people dying to give you their money just so you can help them.
You need to know these people.

You need to know where they are and how to fish them out.

You need to understand their pain and get them to trust you enough to help them escape it.
3. Understanding your Product and positioning it well.

It is not necessarily what you sell but how you sell it.

Whether it is a course, a book, a masterclass, a webinar, coaching, mastermind or community, you need to understand your product and the value it has.
When you truly understand your product's value, you'll be crazy about sharing it with the world.

But while you do this, you need to position it in such a way that people see it as premium and will be eager to pay the price for it.
4. Mastering effective marketing.

Creating a great product is one thing, making it a bestseller is another thing.

The only way to guarantee your product becomes a bestseller that makes you money is by promoting it effectively.

Your strategy & messaging has to draw attention.
5. Creating a structure within your knowledge business so you can make enough money with less effort and avoid burnout.

It is easy to become a slave to your clients.

You end up serving up your time and feeling frustrated.

Whilst you create product and sell, you need structure.
These 5 areas are the core areas of building an effective knowledge business.

During the course of the 'Monetize Your Knowledge challenge,' I'll be showing you how to sort these 5 things so you can make money while making impact.
It starts tomorrow.

To build a successful business, you must be a long term thinker.

I'll explain.

My Uncle married a white lady from Ireland.

Beautiful woman and nice to a fault.

In 2018 she came to Nigeria and spent some time in the village.

She had heard a lot about me so she asked me to
come see her.

Spending time with her was beautiful.

She always wanted to learn about our culture, practically always wanting to go to the farm with her white delicate skin.

I discovered two things within the few days I spent with her.
One was her love for books.

This lady would read 50 pages of a book a day.

In two days, she had read and finished 'There was a country' and moved on to 'Things fall apart.'

I saw active learning and hunger for knowledge.

But the second thing I discovered taught me a lesson.

5 Ways To Develop Discipline And Use It To Crush Your Goals.

Motivation will not make you successful.

Discipline will.

Look at the lives of truly successful people and you'll see this is true. (Thread)
Many people misunderstand what motivation means.

They think motivation is a 'positive feeling' that helps you do things.

When they feel this certain kind of way, they take action.

But when they don't feel this 'positive feeling' they resign.

That isn't motivation.
Motivation is a combination of two words:

Motive + Action.

Motivation is the motive behind the action.

It is the reason for the action.

The why!

For example, why do you want to start a business?

So you can have freedom, yeah?

That is the motivation.

If you are want to start an online business and

- You are scared and don't know where to start

- You really don't have money for ads,

Do this:

- Start learning a new skill. Be ruthless about it.

- Share your journey and progress

- Get people to offer your service to.
This is what I mean:

Pick a skill you know you'll be committed to.

Anyone, as long as it solves a real problem people are facing.

Dedicate a minimum of an hour daily to practicing this skill.

Note, I did not say learn, I said practice.
As you practice and get better, share what you learn on your various social media handles:

Whatsapp status, Twitter, Facebook, IG, etc.

People will begin to associate your name with that skill.

When you are sure you are proficient enough, sell your services.

YOU can never maximize Opportunities Your mind does not see.

Here are 5 things you can do to make December your best month of 2020.
1. Accept Responsibility For Your Results.

True, 2020 came with a lot of surprises.

No one would have thought that the entire world would go on lockdown.

And it is a fact that this affected a lot of businesses.

But the hard truth is, at the end of the day, the responsibility
is ours.

You cannot continue to hold on to 'what has happened.'

In this same pandemic, many people pivoted and built thriving businesses.

Your eyes won't be open to opportunities if you continue to blame other people or things

Accept responsibility.

Jim Edwards said something something very important and I want to share it with you.

Before I tell you what he said, let me first tell you who Jim.

Jim is a legendary salesman and copywriter.

He has sold in different industries and niches.
His products have gone on to do millions of dollars in sales.

He once had a $29 product that sold over $1.5m.

You can imagine how many units had to be sold to make such an amount.

The point I am driving at here is that Jim is a successful copywriter.

So what did Jim say?
"To my recollection, I have never written sales copy for anybody else, only for my products."

Anytime newbie copywriters approach me and complain they are struggling with getting clients, I advice them to stop focusing on getting clients.
