#59: A quick mindset shift that stuffs your wallet. The FYA principle!
There's one simple principle that just might be one of the best kept secrets of our success around here. You can call it a "mind hack" if you'd like. We call it our "F.Y.A." principle. Jim will explain it all in this mini episode. Without "FYA" your odds of success in ANY online venture are slim, however if you implement FYA you'll be virtually assured of having some degree of success and quite possibly WILD success! This principle explains why we are so excited about things like Amazon, Facebook, growing our audience of text opt-in subscribers and email opt-in subscribers etc. Applying the FYA principle virtually guarantees you'll succeed to some degree with any and all of your next projects online.
