Who’s Your Daddy?

Think back to when you were last in love. How did you feel when you were in the presence of the person with whom you were in love? You felt wonderful. Most importantly, you felt wonderful about YOURSELF. The real reason why you loved that person so much, when you really delve down into your bitter, cold heart, is because they made you feel so great in their presence. They “brought out the best in you”, they made you feel accepted, important, smart, beautiful (even if you’re a real dog), manly (in some cases), wise, valuable and good. They hung on your every word. They longed to help you, spend time with you, give you gifts and make your life work well. They agreed with you, supported you, and told other people how magnificent you were. They overlooked your shortcomings. When you snored like a pig, they told you they loved to hear you purr… And of course you reciprocated – you wined and dined them, wrote them nice letters, bought them pricey gifts, called them too often and loved them right back. You might even have held hands and skipped through daisy fields.

When I trained hair stylists to improve their lackluster customer service and sales skills, I suggested they “fall in love with their clients” and that when they were shearing their clients’ collective fur, they should “Make love to their clients”- figuratively speaking, of course. When people genuinely care about your wellbeing and goals, when they show that they like you, by listening carefully to your inane prattle, and trying to make you comfortable, don’t you feel a subtle urge to reciprocate? When they relinquish their favorite armchair so that you might be more comfortable, sacrifice their place at the fire for your benefit and urge you to eat the last chocolate on the plate, do you soften somewhat toward their cause? How about that waitress that goes out of her way to make your stay in the greasy spoon less, shall we say, greasy? Do you perhaps lean towards increasing her tip by some miniscule amount?

The reason why Joint Venture Brokers make more money than the regular, self-employed salesperson, who masquerades as a business owner, is their innate understanding of reciprocity. They seek to sow before they reap. They understand, somehow, that half a loaf is better than no loaf at all. They seem to believe that unity is strength and that we can accomplish more when we share resources and base our business transactions on relationship rather than the proverbial fast buck. They shun the fast-talking, the slick and the desperate and prefer the steady, sincere, big picture type of business partner. They buy the person before the product, and when confronted with an offensive, egocentric, sales type, they don’t even consider the product he is pushing. Think about it: would you buy a used car from a Tom Cruise type?

Successful Joint Venture Brokers work with people whom they like and respect. They build solid relationships and create value before expecting, or worse still, demanding rewards. They are sensible, professional, caring, ethical and decent. And by being nice, they turn into money magnets. Love your work, love your business partners and clients, and your Joint Ventures will flourish. The best JV I ever did was marrying Rika. After 20 years, she still makes me feel like a king and I still think she purrs. Actually, she does. Build your JV’s on the strong foundation of mutual deference, care and genuine camaraderie and you will make a lot more money and have a lot more fun.

I was recently invited to a friend of mine’s manufacturing business in Vancouver, BC. They are about to declare bankruptcy and close down the entire business due to offshore competition, patent infringements by countries who don’t concern themselves with ethical or legal issues like patents, et al. It’s a big secret that the company is closing, of course. On my way out of the meeting, I talked with a few of the employees, who are blissfully unaware of the impending Tsunami that is about to shatter their relatively peaceful lives. One lady is 65 years old and she’s been working there for 40 years. Another is 62 and she’s been there for 12 years. Even if the semi-socialist system and pension payouts help these people financially, the psychological effects can be devastating. And there are some employees in that firm who stand to lose a lot more than their jobs.

This scene is common around the world as the socio-economic systems change. There is no more “job security”. People are more at risk than ever before. Seniors, immigrants, families of military personnel and many others are even more at risk. At any moment, terrorism, stock market changes, oil price increases or any one of many other factors can radically affect one’s income. The only transferable business skill that can be easily acquired and put to use to create instant replacement income is Joint Ventures. This skill set is a portable money machine that can be used by anyone, in any situation, regardless of their age, background, or circumstances to start generating needed income fast. In fact, even an incarcerated prisoner can broker legitimate joint venture deals while still in prison, using a phone and the Internet, and make money for his family at home. Seniors Homes can turn in brokering houses. Disabled people, stay-at-home-moms and new immigrants can earn money part time full time. Teenagers can swap a paper route for JV brokering.

I have been called the “Prophet of Profit” and I prophesy that change is coming, and it’s coming fast. It’s no good mincing around on the sinking Titanic, patting ourselves on the back and burying our heads in the caviar. Denial will not change the inevitable. There is a scripture in the Bible that say, “To whoever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom much was entrusted, of him more will be asked.” Millions of people need the information that we make available on Joint Ventures. The wise ones will, as the Chinese say, “Dig the well before they thirst” and acquire and practice this valuable skill, creating multiple income streams and learning the ropes. Those of us who see the Tsunami are responsible for sharing the Joint Venture lifeline. I encourage you, dear Reader, to generously distribute my book about Joint Ventures to as many people as you can, and trust that it land in the hands of those who have the wisdom to read and apply it.
