Joint ventures are one of the most powerful and leveraged business strategies available to every business owner. However, many people do them wrong, have inconsistent results, and get frustrated. That's why I invited Bob Serling, one of my marketing mentors to the show. He will discuss “flipped” joint ventures and why it works so well. Bob is a 30-year marketing veteran and the Founder of Profit Alchemy, Inc. His innovative take on marketing has helped hundreds of clients get exceptional results with their marketing. He’s perhaps best known for having revolutionized the process of structuring joint ventures by shifting the focus from reciprocal agreements to a strategically flipped “one-sided” emphasis.By making this shift to working only with your own list, you eliminate all the friction and problems that are the byproducts of conventional joint ventures, maintain complete control at all stages of the process, and can quickly put together an unlimited number of six-figure joint ventures. In this episode, Bob also refers to his new book on JVs that you can have for free.Some Topics We Discussed Include:The problems with joint ventureThe two sides of a JV dealHow to remove friction and close a dealSelling to your own listFlipped joint venture - what it isBob's mechanics of doing JV or introducing JV to othersThe benefits of doing a JVTo download Bob Serling's New Rules of Joint Ventures Book for Free:  http://profitalchemy.com/baconTo get the full shownotes and learn more about Bob, visit https://baconwrappedbusiness.com/bobserling/Love the show?

INVESTMENT EDITION: Jeff Schneider, co-founder of http://RoyaltyExchange.com joins the show to answer Brad's curious questions about investing in artistic and music royalties as a non-correlated asset class to a risky stock market. Did you know that you could buy the rights to popular songs and earn royalty rights just like the artists do? I heard of this but didn't know enough about it and had more questions than answers. So I did what I do... I invited one of the leaders of the Royalty Exchange to explain how the music industry works on both sides and how smart investors can potentially capitalize on this. Very interesting episode!

Tim Francis is the Founder of Great Assistant, a done-for-you service that helps entrepreneurs get a great assistant. For years, Tim had a stubborn attitude that he could work 80 hours per week and do everything on his own. All that changed when a sudden stress-induced case of Erythema Nodosum literally stopped Tim in his tracks at age 28. For three months, he was unable to walk and asked himself, “What have I done to put myself in this situation?” Putting his ego aside, he got over himself, learned to be a solid team-builder and delegator, and cracked the code to find a great assistant. Combining new delegation skills with his US-based assistant Sarah, he finally got the bottom 80% off his task list and focused on the top 20%. This rapidly multiplied his consulting rate from $40/hour to $1,000/hour, while also reducing his overall workload. Today, Tim helps other entrepreneurs get great assistants so they can avoid all the pain and suffering he went through. Some Topics We Discussed Include: The frustrations of getting a great assistant When to delegate to an assistant The 360 Delegation Reasons why an assistant would fail Decision-making guidelines The definition of "done" and what it implies Useful hiring platform and tools The perfect job posting Tim's process of training assistants Learn more about Tim and get the full shownotes at https://baconwrappedbusiness.com/greatassistant/ Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share!
