Comments on: One Overlooked “Secret” To Building A 7-Figure Consulting Business http://www.robinsbigseminar.com/2010/01/19/one-of-the-keys-to-owning-a-7-figure-business/ Just another WordPress weblog Sat, 05 Jun 2010 13:33:42 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Amy http://www.robinsbigseminar.com/2010/01/19/one-of-the-keys-to-owning-a-7-figure-business/comment-page-1/#comment-34 Amy Sat, 05 Jun 2010 13:33:42 +0000 http://gator727.hostgator.com/~rrobins/?p=598#comment-34 The concept of a 7 figure business is great . Small business Customers like to do things on a shoe string or even get a mate to fix the broken equipment. The challenge is being able to choose the right customers and pick the ones that will help you get there. Especially looking forward to hearing more about your strategies and the seminar sounds like a fantastic start. Trading Dollars for hours as consultants do is a mugs game and one has to re position to achieve the leverage required to make those goals come true . After 35 years in the business , I see its time to become a consultants consultant and also to establish a global virtual business instead of a local small market operation . These strategies will likely help to guide that direction & purpose. Best wishes Adrian www.hispeedbiz.net The concept of a 7 figure business is great .

How do you make the most use of leverage when cash flow is negative and OPM is unavailable is my question. Robin, great post and leverage is always on my mind as I run my MSP/VAR business alone.

Most of us only know how to be tech's in our business and we all work very hard (it's not a lack of effort that holds people back) but it's those who learn to work "smart" that will see the big jumps in revenue. Leveraging not only dollars but other resources (especially your employees) is key. You have to learn to delegate and focus your time working ON the business instead of IN the business. We doubled our hourly rates last year and didn't lose a single client. The Boot Camp is one event I plan for in advance every year. Can't wait.

When I think real leverage I think of companies like Gillette. Giving away inexpensive razor handles and making high margins on razor blades that only fit their handles. A little innovation goes a long way in a business model that provides for a basic need like a close, comfortable shave. Marketing those differences effectively makes all the difference in the world! IT has become a basic business need for small businesses. After 20 years in IT consulting trading hours and solutions for dollars, I'm changing my business to create more real leverage. So - what's your handle? And what's your blade? I'm using Robin's techniques to market innovative services & solutions and provide a close, comfortable IT experience to our clients. Last time I went to bootcamp (Ft. Knox, Kentucky) was in the summer of '83. I'm way overdue for another bootcamp, see you in Nashville in April! There’s leverage and then there’s real leverage.

My boss loaned me the CDs from the 2008 Boot Camp and I've been listening to them on my daily commute. I gotta tell ya...this stuff is awesome! I commandeered the big white board in our office and have been brainstorming on it so we make sure to take action on the ideas from the CDs. Can't wait to see you all in April!
