Fat & Lazy People Will Make You Rich
| Share |
If I offended you by the title let me first of all apologize but once you listen to the below podcast you will 100% understand what I am talking about.
As you may recall, last week I mentioned about an interview I was going to do today… well I did it a few hours ago, I know you are going to love it and one of the things that really stuck out to me was the “Fat & Lazy” comment.
Now, I know that is not politically correct but the concept of what was being talked to in the podcast is an important one. The idea of people wanting you to do everything for them is so true and it is such a powerful revenue model. Look at Home Depot, they have such an amazing business model… they give you the tools, they give you the training but if you have the money they will also do 100% of the work for you to.
I have incorporated this in my business because there are people that love the tools and or training but there are others that want it all and they want you to do it for them and most important of all…
They Will Pay For It!
As you listen to this interview, ask yourself these questions…
- 1. What problems are people in my niche complaining about?
- 2. What solution to those problems can I provide those that have more time than money?
- 3. What solution to those problems can I provide those that have more money than time?
This is a great conversation with someone that has transformed their business and if you can not get some fantastic ideas from this then you are not listening. There is advice and ideas that can be applied to every niche there is.

I’m looking forward to hearing your interview with Tim Sykes. I’ve read his book (something I won from JohnChow.com a while back) and I regularly read his blog. I haven’t delved into short-selling which he is really a proponent of but I have learned a lot from his techniques and his business model is really working.

Listening to it now…
Everything you guys talked about is very true. It also relates to your last post about getting off the MMO bandwagon. People should really try to do their own stuff instead of copying everyone else. Thanks again (and Tim) for doing this.

Yeah…I am listening to this right now also and I firmly agree with what you guys were talking about in the podcast. Most people are Fat & Lazy and they want you to do all of the work for them.
If you just show some proof…SOCIAL PROOF of your results, then people will really trust in you and pay you to do anything. I started doing this 2 months ago and I saw my income increase by a pretty decent amount.
Sweet. It’s 2315 here in the UK but I’m downloading this now to listen to it. I’ve been reading Timothy Sykes site for a while now, I’m really impressed. Good catch on the interview.

After listening to this interview it was such and eye opener. I alwayy just did my own thing instead of trying to goto into the MMO niche. I just post quality content and make sure people know about it.

I really want to say thank you for having both the audio AND the transcript available. It is really hard for me to listen to anything online thanks to my kiddos and I really appreciate that extra step…was a great interview & those 3 questions you have are the 3 best ones to ask for starting a business or enhancing an existing one. Thanks again

We see this in pharmacy every day. People don’t want to improve their quality of life if it takes effort. They want someone else to do it for them. They want to take a pill to solve diabetes when what they need to do is eat a proper diet, exercise, and learn more about their condition.

Love the podcast and post…like what is said about using your losses…lemon to lemonade…I think it’s good to really own your losses…well, you couldn’t give them away anyway and they are hard to share, so use them, they are cash/commodity.
great interview:)im learning something:)LOL

Interesting interview. Thanks for sharing it with us. It’s always great to listen to the experience of others. It is so true wht was said about finding the things other people don’t want to do and then doing it for them – at a cost.
This is definately the case for information on the internet. I love to research on the internet, I call myself a ‘learnaholic’ but there are so many people who aren’t, they want the information they need in the easiest and quickest way.
For online entrepreneurs that have skills and knowledge to share, or are prepared to get the skills and knowledge, there is always going to be a great opportunity to supply a quality service and make money, in whatever niche you choose to work in.
Thanks for the interview.

Thanks for doing this interview. I took lots of notes.
My blog is still a baby–just a couple of weeks old–but I am thinking about in a different light now, thanks to your and Timothy’s comments.
Was waiting for this from the moment you posted the “Get Off The…” past. Downloading it now and will be listening it tonight. I’m sure this carries a lot of information. Just I want to make myself sure that I put everything I learn into work. Thanks for the podcast.
