Do Less! Think More!

Two farmers enjoyed the same size of land, the same weather, the same marketplace and opportunities, pricing and labor availability. One was the father of my friend, Louis. One day the neighboring farmer visited Louis’ dad and said to him, “You know, Mr. Boschoff, I don’t understand why I work hard from dawn till dusk, while you spend a lot of time talking with your friends and sitting on the porch smoking your pipe, yet your farm makes you rich and I am close to bankruptcy. Why is that?” According to Louis, his dad replied, “That is because you work too hard. You should be thinking more and working less. I plan and discuss and cooperate with my friends while you are laboring.”

When I applied to immigrate to Canada, I used my training, certification, and credentials in Work Study (Organization and Methods) to qualify for acceptance.
Dictionary: “Work Study noun 1. An investigation of the most efficient way of doing a job, especially with regard to time and effort.”
When people say, “work smarter, not harder”, they remind us that we are no longer laboring in the Industrial Age. In this Information Age, there are literally no limitations on people who use their heads instead of their hands to create value. Laborers and other people who sell their time may as well be slaves. They’re really no better off than prisoners! When you sell your time, you sell pieces of your life that you will never be able to recover. You should only spend time on things you absolutely love doing. If you make money into the bargain, that’s great. But few people get rich by selling time.

By using Joint Ventures to borrow and leverage other peoples’ underutilized time, resources, credit, reputation, services, equipment and products, you don’t recreate the wheel and you Fast Forward your success in a win/win way. Together, we can do amazing things. Successful people and businesses piggyback on distribution, advertising and access, so they alter the time and effort equation. As a Work Study Officer, I found ways to remove entire sections from work processes and still get the same results. When I was asked to do Work Study in a government department, I showed them how to fire 40 people and still get the same results. Unfortunately, government is more interested in politics than profit, so they turned down my proposal. I fired my boss and started my own business. Louis Boschoff gave me a Tony Robbins book as an “Independence Day Gift” and I took my skills into the wonderful world of capitalism instead of bureaucratic collectivism.

When you think more about leverage (the more you learn, the more you earn), you can work less and have more time to play and have fun. Louis Boschoff bought a real estate office (with no money or risk) and became a millionaire in two years. He applied what his farmer father had taught him. This article is dedicated to the memory of that smart man who taught me much. Thanks, Louis. Rest In Peace, my friend.

Inside the Head of a Joint Venture Broker

When I read a book, I read the words of the author. That means I think the thoughts of the author. If I think those same thoughts enough, I will acquire the same perceptions, beliefs, and expectation as those of the author. Then I will start to evaluate things as the author does, make the same choices and get the same results, right? Repetition is the mother of invention. We learn through spaced repetition. That’s why I feed my brain with input from people whom I admire and emulate. If you want to be a successful Joint Venture Broker, here are some questions that you should automatically apply to all your circumstances and opportunities.

But first, you should realize that you are surrounded by untold wealth, opportunity, and abundance. There is no shortage or scarcity. Every resource you need and want is readily available to you at no cost or risk. Also, when you ask the right questions, your magnificent subconscious mind will help you find the answers. One of the most powerful tools you have at your disposal is your Reticular Activating System (RAS). A simple example of how it works automatically to provide you with all the answers you need is when you buy a new car. Suddenly, your RAS will make you aware of all the other cars that are the same as the one you bought. Try it now. Look around the room you’re in. OK? Now, look for the color red. Do you see how all the red jumps out to you attention?

You program your RAS to find answers by asking the right questions. Here are the thoughts / questions that will make you a successful Joint Venture Broker:

How can I benefit from this situation? Where are the underutilized resources?
How can I create massive value for this person and get paid for it?
What does this person really, really want?
How can this person help me get what I want? What resources does he or she have access to?
How can I get this with no money or risk? Where can I obtain this resource at no cost or risk? Who has it?
How can I remove the cost and risk and leverage this situation / opportunity / resource?
What is the ideal situation here? If there were no barriers, what would I love to happen here? How can I make this happen? Who can make this happen for me? What’s in it for them?
How can I double my income in two months? What would have to happen / change for that to occur? What potential lies in this situation?
What do I really, really want, more than anything else, and WHY do I want it?
Why am I not making at least twice what I make now?
Who do I have to link up with to change my life?
Where will I find the resources I seek?
