Keep What You Earn

Amber Frankhuizen is the founder and CEO of AFMKTG. She started my business in 2018 and has become known as the "intern whisperer" because of her focus on mentorship and education for young professionals. She believes that college is broken because a lot of theory is taught but not many practical skills. Amber decided to start offering internships as a way to give back and also build her business's credibility. She believes that offering internships have helped her tenfold as a business owner. "The biggest key who should be looking at hiring interns is, do you have the systems in place for the business to run or for them to get trained easily? And do you have the time to invest in them? Because that's what this is about." Amber has developed a program for other business owners to set up their own internship programs. Her mission is to help everyone get the mentorship they want while developing the next generation of college students and recent grads. In this episode, you will learn the following: 1. How to build a successful internship program 2. How to make sure that interns are getting the most out of their experience 3.

It may be tempting to lower your prices right now to accommodate people who can't afford your services. I'm not a fan of this tactic because when you reduce your price, you reduce the perception of value for your service. You want the price of your product or service to be rising because the value of it will naturally increase over time. So what can you do if somebody offers the same product or service for less? You can offer more value. Tune in to find out how! It may be tempting to lower your prices right now to accommodate people who can't afford your services.

It's easy to think of your business as the way you make money to fuel your lifestyle but I'm going to challenge that. Our money can go a lot further when we use it to create passive income or purchase cash-flowing assets. If you can tap into patience and understand the impact of these decisions, you'll see your wealth grow. When your focus is building wealth, you have to play the long game. * Find everything you need at www.keepwhatyouearn.com! https://www.keepwhatyouearn.com/ * Questions about this episode?
