hi there welcome back to Homazooma this is Donat Plenter helping you build wealth around
your house one question that you
are invariably going to ask is what do I do first?
how do I get started? what's the action plan? so
that's what we're going to cover now since we've been covering
the baking of cookies in this series we'll stick to our cookie model
and again I the same same processes apply
you go to place cookies was just about any product or idea that you have
so if you're going to bake cookies as an example because you probably make the
best cookies in the whole world ever been tell you that so you have your
idea so you're gonna make cookie bake some
cookies and sell them simple straightforward product and
that's how Martha Stewart started in the basement so you can do it too
now you have to delete from your vocabulary
all those what-ifs the yes buts and i cant because's now there's an
interesting thing here but I can't be I can't because statement if
you say I can't because dot dot dot you're right and he say
I can because dot dot dot you're right so either way you're right so what I would
recommend is just absolutely eradicate this
from your vocabulary and don't listen to anybody who starts off a sentence with
what if yes but I can't because playing the devil's advocate
that's not what you need you need to sell your cookies
because you've made that decision okay decision made next prepare your action
plan in a previous segment we talked about
business plans and that you absolutely do not need a business plan
what you need is a very simple action plan so
complete your action plan Homazooma because that would just give you
framework it'll take you 10 minutes and that's all you need and you're ready
to go then you do what you do then you bake some
cookies now here's a trick
give away some free samples now if you bake cookies
over the last five or ten or twenty years you will have probably given away
I would say 5000 free cookies to your family and friends because you
bake them and you didn't charge for them so you're pretty good at giving away
free samples so just give a few more away
thinking about selling them at some point but give them
two neighbors friends to the local supermarket manager
the might carry your cookies for you local shops
even local bakery might carry it so then you got to go now you know I would
love to cookies so which means that you have a very good
product and a product that will make a
difference to people because when the your cookies they will feel good and
really fantastic cookies so then you promote your cookies on
Skillshare so on Skillshare you can show the world
how you make your cookie so they will see first-hand
your cookies in fact are the best cookies in the world the start selling
you can refer to one of our previous segments
on selling and marketing in about 10 freeways to promote your cookies and
your business so again we come back to the other word
risk well what's the risk in doing all of this you've already been
making cookies you know you make the best cookies
you've been giving free samples away for years and years and years
and let's say if you are if your for instance
jumping out from here your hobby is fixing cars
or you probably have helped friends repair cars
or I if you have a woodworking shop you will have probably made tons of
stuff for friends so this whole notion of free samples applies pretty well to
everybody including cookies now what's the risk
just a little bit of time and a few ingredients
and you're already spending time in you already are buying the ingredients
so really what you're doing is you have already been in a cookie business
baking cookies and giving way cookies the only thing you haven't done up to
this point is looked at it like a business
but you already are in business that's really important to know
so failure no such thing you only fail if you don't try
and this particular case you've already been doing it and that's the wonderful
thing about building wealth around your house
in most cases when you see the tools you'll see that so many of those tools
you already are putting into play you are
already doing it and you're really good at it
we just help you turn it into a business and set you up for financial freedom
have a great day and we'll see you next time
