How I Went From Negative Cash Flow to 6-Figures in Just 3 Years

Let me say right off the bat, this is not going to be a rah-rah “went from sleeping in my car, eating dog food to my first million overnight” story. I certainly admire anyone whose commitment leads to a hugely successful business, but those accounts tend to leave out the years of preparation that went into that “overnight” million.

And that makes the rest of us doubt ourselves and our abilities when our own fortunes don’t appear instantly.

I’m proud of the fact that I went from literally negative cash flow (and four previous business failures) to a 6-figure income in three years. Quick, but not overnight by any means.

Growing a successful business takes some time. That’s because even beyond learning the necessary how to’s, what’s inevitably required are some serious shifts and shake ups in our mindset. It’s like peeling an onion – we uncover and transform one limiting habit or belief, only to discover another one beneath it.

Truthfully, if you could get to your goals with your current patterns and thinking – you’d be there already! You have to be willing to invest the time and resources it takes to grow into the person whose habits, behaviors and beliefs support that new, bigger level of success.

With that in mind, here are my three most important tips for putting you on the path to your 6- or 7-figure dream.

This Is Guaranteed to Help Your Sales – or Your Money Back

The smart service-based entrepreneur is always looking for ways to increase the sales of their programs, products and services.

No, not because they’re greedy. It’s because they know clients can’t experience breakthroughs and transformation until they get off the fence and make the purchase.

One of the simplest ways to remove the barrier to buying and increase sales is to offer a guarantee.

When it comes to offering a guarantee, however, most service-based business owners say “No way! I can’t control what the client is going to do, so how can I guarantee my program or service?” They’re afraid too many clients will take advantage of it and they’ll lose money.

It’s important to keep your eye on the big picture. The value of a guarantee lies in giving potential clients peace of mind, making it easy for them to say yes to your offer. Backed by a strong guarantee, the number of sales you make is invariably greater than if you had no guarantee at all. So even if you do get a small number of returns (and that’s really the exception, not the rule), you’ll still come out ahead.

To get you going, here are three simple tips to help you craft guarantees that cause your sales to soar.
