Keeping it mobile.

---

You must meet automation and renew your mindset on your way to freedom. To own your life, you don't need to "run" a business—you just need to set one up.

Mobile Lifestyle, Part 2, let’s go!

“A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let alone.” – Henry David Thoreau.

Cash Flow and Time:

With these two currencies, all other possibilities become attainable. Without them, nothing can be achieved.

There are a million ways to make a million dollars, but for the New Rich, the objective is to own businesses that require no personal time investment.

The first step is to identify a product to sell. If you're starting from scratch, avoid service-based businesses since constant customer interaction makes it challenging to be absent.

The product should cost no more than $500 for testing. It must be suitable for automation and demand only one day of management per week.

The aim is not to revolutionize the world but to create an automated income stream that doesn't drain your time.

Begin with the End in Mind:

Keep a couple of things in mind:

1.The more competing resellers there are, the quicker your product becomes obsolete;

 2.Offering exclusivity can be advantageous. By granting one company 100% distribution, you can negotiate better profit margins, in-store marketing support, faster payment, and preferential treatment;

3.Determine your sales and distribution strategy before committing to a product. The more intermediaries involved, the higher your margins need to be.

-> Thorough testing and planning can avoid many issues. 

Keep reading, and we'll explain how.

How to start:

Choose an Easily Accessible Niche Market: Meeting existing demand is far simpler than generating new demand. Identify a market (customers) first, then find a product for them.

Ideally, you should be part of your target market, allowing you to understand their needs and spending patterns.

To help you choose, consider: Which social, industry, and professional groups are you part of, have you been part of, or are familiar with?

Don't overlook the products and subscriptions you possess, both online and offline.

-> Think creatively about your resume, work experience, physical activities, and hobbies to make a list of all the groups you have been associated with, past and present. 

Then ask yourself, what do these groups tend to buy?

Some Advice:

Brainstorm Product Ideas: Aim to create solid product concepts without spending any money. Ensure your final product fits into an automated system with these criteria:

1.The Main Benefit Should Be Clear in One Sentence: Make it impossible to misunderstand your product. Answer these questions in a single sentence: What makes it unique, and why should someone buy it?

2.Price Should Be Around $50-$200: Pricing too low is a mistake. A higher price means selling fewer units to fewer customers, allowing you to reach your goals faster.

Higher prices attract less demanding customers, reducing hassle. They also provide higher profit margins, which is safer.

However, if the price exceeds a certain threshold, potential buyers might need to speak with someone before making a purchase.

Quick Production: Manufacturing should take no longer than 3-4 weeks. This keeps costs low and allows the company to adapt to sales demand without overstocking.

Aim for 1-2 weeks from order placement to product shipment if possible.

4.Comprehensive Online FAQ: Customers will have numerous questions, so ensure your product is fully explained in an online FAQ.

-> Do not invest any money at this stage! 

Start with the two markets you are most familiar with.

Last thoughts:

Understanding these criteria first will allow you to make good choices with the future in mind.

Then you can ask: How does one obtain a good product that satisfies you?

Timothy Ferriss states you have three options: Resell, license, or Create a product.

We will cover these and test them in the next edition.

-> You don't need to be a specialist. Being an expert in product sales simply means you know more about the subject than the customer!

See you in a week.

Your Zine.
