FU Position with Less than $1k (Part 2 of ?)
I was a broke, freckle-faced 10-year-old boy... I was the oldest of 4 kids... My mom was single... And broke too. But I didn't let that stop me. I figured out what I now call: "A Gravel to Gold Sitch" Let's come back to that... One of my "income streams" was painting curb numbers for homeowners and renters whose addresses were either faded or completely gone. I knew my "pitch" wasn't a pretty address number. It WAS not getting COLD PIZZA because the pizza guy couldn't find your address. It WAS the ambulance, police, or fire department that found their home when every SECOND COUNTS. I'd charge $5 to $10, depending on whether I painted one or two numbers for them. (some wanted the number on both sides of the entry) Now... My investment for materials... Was about $10 to get fresh stencils, paint brushes and black and white paint. (From memory, this was a few decades ago 😁) I could paint about 10-12 address numbers from my $10 investment. Which meant $50 to $60 + tips for revenue. A $10 investment with a $60 return for an afternoon in 1977 was pretty solid. A lot of men/women were not making that... This is what I call the "Gravel to Gold Sitch"... Paint and the supplies are GRAVEL. I had the PROCESS: Take the paint and turn it into address numbers so the pizza guy and emergency services could find homes fast. Once I turned the paint into an address number on a curb... I turned a little bit of paint (gravel) into (gold)... NOW... If You Think That The money Was The Gold... HUGE MISPERCEPTION Don't get me wrong... It bought Snickers bars, walkie-talkies, and other stuff when I was 10 years old... But that wasn't the GOLD REALLY. (Hang on tight for a sec.) So... Here was my big fat problem. I was a broke kid. My mom was broke. How did I get my "start-up" capital? I PRE-SOLD! I'd knock doors and when I got a "YES."... I just had them PAY ME UPFRONT... Then I'd bike it to the hardware store and buy my supplies! I still PRE-SELL most stuff to THIS DAY as a 58-year-old.

I would think you'd also ask to install a door viewer - only needed a drill and a few cheap 'magic eye' peephole devices to get started. Most addresses become an upsell path on the spot (and you look around the yard for leaves needing to be raked, etc.)

Plus - each customer becomes a valuable reference when you tell the neighbors "I'm in the area painting numbers for your friends down the street... thought you'd like to match all the others... "
The cover is done... (Sneak Peek)
Remember that poll about collecting Travis Sago's best insights in one place? Well, we are doing it. Below is what it looks like. I've been going through years of his posts. The ones about leverage, freedom, and "strategic laziness." The insights that made me (and) you screenshot. All organized chronologically. No more digging through Facebook to find that one quote. Bookmark, make notes, and highlight your favorite insights from Travis (and the search function in Kindle is way better than FB) The poll responses were pretty clear... people want this. Right now we're looking at 11 volumes total. Each covering a different year of his wisdom. Still putting the finishing touches on this first one. Down the road, there might be opportunities for people to sponsor individual volumes if they want to help get these out there. But for now, just wanted to show you the cover. -Jeff PS: If you are interested in grabbing one of the first copies... Comment “1” below so I can make sure you know when it's ready :) Purdy please and thank you:-)

Welcome Royalty Rockstar! Start Here!
Howdy Rockstar! I'm thrilled to see ya! If you're a course creator, coach, digital marketer or expert... With courses, books, digital programs or just valuable EXPERIENCE... I've discovered the best investment in the world is CONTENT I control and produce. Our goal here is to... 🥇Turn your courses, content and coaching experience into an investment portfolio that sends you royalty checks for life. We have a toolbox of tools to take your content and turn it into cash flow. One of our handiest tools is licensing. It's like the electric guitar in our rock band. New to licensing for royalties? No sweat. I'll walk you thru... You can turn your "old hit" courses, content, programs and any intellectual property into recurring royalties and more fans too! I'm rolling up my sleeves to share... ...the next level of financial leverage for coaches, course creators, consultants and true experts who want to UNCLOG their calendars, STOP trading their time for money and would love to: - Stack long-term and DEPENDABLE Recurring royalties - Generate Buyers Leads FREE! - Automate Sales and NEW customers around the world. - Reach Brand New Markets (without ads or more content creation) All by repurposing your content... ... and making it EASY for other businesses to license your hit content and IP you've already created and own! If there's a faster and easier way to bolt on 8 figures in royalties, I don't know what it is! Because... If we set it up correctly and choose the right licensees, our licensees do all (or most) of the selling for us. We get brand-new leads, customers and royalties like clockwork without the wheels coming off our business and lives. We often close 5- and 6-figure licensing deals in DMs in less than 15 minutes. I'd love to hear from you. Please introduce yourself! When you do, you unlock your first courses in the classroom... ===>Turn OLD COURSES into NEW MONEY

@Mark Pocock The internet IS awash with 'copywriters!' When I got started, nobody had heard of the profession (or thought it had to do with publishing books). The big tip is...to use your skills for your OWN offers and deals. Keep up the GREAT work...!

@Maria Gudelis I started buying your stuff in about 2009 or so, if not earlier. Welcome here!
All of Travis's wisdom in one place (finally)
I've been screenshotting Travis Sago's posts for 7 years. And I'm frustrated. His best insights get buried in the Facebook algorithm. I'll remember a brilliant post about leverage or "strategic laziness"... But spend 20 minutes scrolling through his timeline trying to find it. Or worse, Facebook decides I don't need to see his new posts. Even though his stuff consistently changes how I think about money and business. The man drops gems like: "The less I NEED the more I'm FREE!" "Results don't give AF what I BELIEVE! Results only care about what I PRACTICE!" "Pretty Money > Ugly Money" But they're scattered across years of posts. Mixed in with cat videos and political rants from my high school friends. So here's my question: Would you be interested in having Travis's best insights collected in one place? All his wisdom about leverage, royalties, and escaping the time-for-money trap... Without having to dig through Facebook's mess? PS: Tell me which of his insights you'd hate to lose in the Facebook black hole.

I'm always copying and pasting into Penzu, which is a personal journal type online tool that I highly recommend (I've been using it since 2011). If someone could give a head start by finding and organizing everything ahead of time, it would be super useful.
