It’s been nearly two months since I joined Tyrone’s Mass Outsource MasterMind so I thought I’d finally give you that update that I’ve promised for a couple of weeks now

First I’d like to say that I am really enjoying this class. It is well organized with videos to explain everything that is taught. In fact, Tyrone supplies us all with videos, pdf’s and mp3′s…so, no excuses for not learning.

There are 8 modules in this course starting with 1: A General Overview of Employing Virtual Staff and ending with Module 8: Setting Your Business In Automatic Mode.

The first area that Tyrone addresses is “Developing the Outsourcing Mindset.” Inside our first lesson, we learned about the 80/20 rule and what this rule has to do with us. Anyone who has read Tim Ferris’ book the “4 Hour Work Week” will be familiar with this rule.

Basically the 80/20 rule is that in your life, 80 percent of your outcomes come from 20 percent of your inputs. Or you can say that 20 percent of your activities produce 80 percent of your financial rewards.

According to Wikipedia: The 80/20 rule was named after the Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto. He observed that 80% of income in Italy was received by 20% of the Italian population. The assumption is that most of the results in any situation  are determined by a small number of causes.

In Tyrone’s case, these are the examples of the 20% activities that produce 80% percent of his income:

• Networking with others through Skype and email. this establishes relationships and eventually leads to doing business together in the form of partnerships or JV’s or gaining affiliates.
• Writing newsletters and sending them to customers…this continues to build that all important relationship.
• Creating video content to  provide value to readers. This also creates other business opportunities and markets the business brand.

So, this was our first real exercise, to write down what the 20% of activities are in our business that produce 80% of our income. The second question/part of the exercise was to list the remainder of the activities that don’t generate income but need to be completed. This helps to determine which activities need to be outsourced to staff to complete.

Another important idea that Tyrone pulled from Tim Ferris is the acronym called D-E-A-L.

• D is for definition: You need to define what you want out of this whole outsourcing course and also what you want to achieve within your own business. This idea is not new and any successful business starts with a vision. Imagine in your mind what it is that you are trying to achieve through this process.What is your dream?Are you like me, do you want to travel? Define it.

• E is for elimination: How you look at your day and split it up into the 80/20 principle. Apply that principle to eliminate the things that are not dollar productive and focus on things that will make money. This is where outsourcing comes in.You train your staff to do the activities that are not dollar productive such as all your admin duties that can be very time consuming. This frees you up to tend to those activities that are producing income.

• A for automation: Automating your business by having everything in place such as a project management system for your outsourcers to check into and the correct system to have in place to run and receive payments from customers so that your virtual staff can handle these things for you and make sure that it goes into the right account.

• L is for liberation: Now that one brings a smile to my face. Liberated! Free! Doesn’t just the idea of it excite you? Liberation is all about living your dream lifestyle, designing your whole life…free to live it has you see fit and not have to worry about anything dealing with your business because your virtual staff is managing the business for you. This will happen over time.

  This one is the long term strategy or goal. This is achieving your desired lifestyle.

World in your hands

Tyrone does an excellent job of supplying the education, the tools, advice and resources…but in the end, its up to us to take the action steps to make this all happen.

Module 1:  basically covers everything from why you should outsource, to how you should hire, how to pay, what work to give, and how to manage your virtual staff. There are 10 videos in this series.

Module 2: Developing the outsourcing mindset. Tyrone also introduces his Mass Outsource sytem in this module.

Next up in my series on Mass Outsource Mastermind is Module 3: Hiring Virtual Staff. In this module we’ll cover everything from finding the best virtual staff to suit your business, to how to screen them, what you can expect and the guidelines for managing them.

I really believe understanding and applying the 80/20 principle is the key to making all of this work. This is what brings clarity to us about our business and what our role should be.

For those of you stateside:

enJOY your families this Memorial Day Week-end…lots of barbecuing I am sure

Everyone else…just have a fabulous week-end filled with love and joy

At the end of the last post I promised to update my journey into Tyrone’s Mass Outsource Mastermind course. And, I do promise that I will give a detailed progress report in just a few days. But, I recently ran into a website that I’ve been totally smitten with and there is a contest running there with a time frame that needs to be addressed.

This unique, educating and entertaining site is “Tropical MBA”…and it is the brainchild of Dan Andrew. Dan is a lifestyle designer and location independent entrepreneur…basically what that means is Dan is free to choose his own lifestyle and to pursue his passions independent of any location. He has freedom and mobility to live life as he sees fit.

Dan left the comforts of home in beautiful San Diego over just over 2 years ago, literally leaving everything behind…grabbed his backpack and headed to Asia . He does digital marketing services for his own company now…based in the Philippines and travels whenever he wants because he operates his whole business on the computer.

What would make a successful businessman leave everything behind for an uncertain future?

• Freedom, the kind that you own when you are in complete control of your time, when you own your time and no one else does.
• Adventure…the kind that gets your juices flowing, the kind that excites you…and gets your creativity flowing.

The digital world has certainly changed the way we do business. This is the  most exciting time ever to be alive. With the opportunities that the Internet provides, you can live anywhere you want…work when you want and experience true lifestyle design.

Which brings me back to Dan.

Dan’s business has been a huge success in the Philippines and he now shares that success through a 3-6 month internship, where he teaches someone to “grow a business from a laptop from anywhere in the world,” absolutely free.  How about that for “giving back?”  Semester I is complete…

Dan has now teamed up with his good friend Sean to bring you Semester II of “Live on a Tropical Island for Free.” Yep, that’s right…check what Dan himself says:

“We’ll be offering one traveler, online entrepreneur, writer, artist, or somebody who is looking for an adventure, FREE lodging on a tropical island, FREE home-cooked meals, and FREE internet access for 3 months.

That person will also have FREE access to a luxury condo in Manila for 1 week out of every month (things can be quiet on a tropical island!). If things work out and you don’t go crazy in the tropics, we’ll be open to extending the deal to 6 months.”

All I can say is this: if you are in a position to travel without any restrictions of time for the next six months…if you appreciate Freedom and want to learn from two very successful Lifestyle entrepreneurs then grab an application and apply. The deadline is June 1st, 2010.

Obviously this opportunity is only suited to certain people. If you are one of those lucky individuals and you want a shot at this crazy cool opportunity that could possibly hold more adventure for you than anything you’ve done so far in life,…then get that app in. You just never know

I think I was born in the wrong generation. I resonate so strongly with everything these guys stand for…hence the name of this blog “Dedicated to Freedom.” I will be there in heart…

Can’t wait to see who wins

Dan is also a firm believer in the Philippines as a great spot to outsource your online workload. He has a blog “Outsource to the Philippines” with some great info on the topic….

If you have been in the Internet marketing field for any amount of time, the name John Reese will have made its way into your mail box. John is one of the earliest Internet Marketing Guru’s (geez the guy has been doing this since 1990!) and if you haven’t heard of him from that angle, then here’s an angle that you won’t easily forget:

John is the first Internet marketer to earn over $1,000,000 in just over 18 hours promoting a product of his. You read that right…over a million dollars in less than 24 hours on one product launch. How he accomplished that feat is a story in itself, but its very obvious the guy knows what he is doing and draws huge crowds of hungry Internet marketers eager to learn from him.

The reason for this post is that I’ve gotten wind that John is launching “Outsource Force” his new course on outsourcing (his new favorite spot is the Philippines…not surprising) and who knows what other related topics will be covered and taught….

Here’s what you’re going to learn in the first video of a 5 video series leading up to his launch:

“The $2 Per Hour Power Formula”

- How to turn 5 hours worth of effort into over 100 hours
of results using this simple trick.

- The magical “not-an-iPad” device that turns ideas into
auto-pilot cash flow.

- How the wildly successful “Blue Man Group” revolutionized
the entertainment industry with this unheard of strategy.

- Why brainstorming new ideas is where all the money gets made
and how to spend your time mostly doing that.

- Dissecting the “Big Six” online money-making models to
show you how the right system can maximize income potential.

It seems that John Jonas (of Replacemyself.com) helped John Reese get started outsourcing in the Philippines….just a few months ago…which proves how hot this topic really is. When someone of John Reese’s stature jumps on the bandwagon…then my advice is to sit up and take notice.

Obviously John Reese sees real “opportunity” here or why would he even bother? He certainly does not need the money!

But, John Reese is a very, very smart business man. He has been using the power and leverage of outsourcing for many years now but more recently became aware of the hidden jewel…the Philippines. And, now he has created and will be teaching a course covering this topic.

Although I am in Tyrone’s class (and enjoying it…more on it later) I will be considering John’s course also. I want to learn from all the outsourcing Guru’s so that I can provide the best education to my own readers. This is a topic I am very, very passionate about and I am totally hooked on it as my niche. I simply love writing about it and taking action with it!

I’ll be covering a bit of Tyrone’s course in my next blog post…updating my progress etc.

For those of you who missed out on Tyrone’s outsourcing class, you’ve been given a second chance….

Go watch the first video now…it is worth every minute of your time…believe me!

“The $2 Per Hour Power Formula”….by John Reese

You know, every once in a while an opportunity comes knocking that has incredible possibilities in regards to your own personal and financial freedom. This is one of those times.

If you realize the importance of learning and applying the principles of outsourcing to the Philippines…if you realize that you are now being given the chance to connect with and learn from a Super Guru then this is a  no brainer!

If that isn’t enough, John is completely making over his site:

http://www.marketingsecrets.com/john.html and everything will be included in his new site:

Income.com

and, just to complete this blog post on John Reese his other site is: Opportunity.com

Wow, how does anyone even get those domain names? Pretty powerful stuff!

Even if you have no intention of joining a course…learning the secrets that John reveals in these videos could mean the difference between a “barely making it in business” to a wildly successful business! These videos are free to watch, so you’d be crazy to pass up the opportunity to learn.

“Outsource Force”….

I continue to amazed and totally immersed  in this outsourcing niche!

enJOY your day and enVision your dreams!

I promised some information about Tyrone’s Shum’s reopening of  his MassOutsource MasterMind.  This awesome course that will teach you everything you need to know about Outsourcing to the Philippines will be officially reopened on April 20th at 10 a.m. EST.

So, exactly what is behind those closed doors?

Here is a brief summary of what you will be treated to once you have signed up as a member of Tyrone Shum’s Mass Outsource MasterMind Course.

THE MASS OUTSOURCE MASTERMIND COURSE:

35 step by step training videos, which include:

• - 18 high quality training videos to give your virtual staff ranging on topics such as article marketing, SEO, video and audio marketing, social network and web 2.0 market and much much more.

• - Each video has templates, resources, and transcribed manuals.

• - Three different formats available – MP4 (for iPhone), Mp3 audio and onscreen videos.

BONUSES:

• - 5 exclusive interviews and case study

• - Project management system (valued at $500)

• - Access to Philippine job website Bestjobs.ph.  to find candidates (this alone cuts the price of the course as you would pay  a monthly fee for entrance into this site.) In fact, you cannot even get entrance into Bestjobs.ph anymore. You must have a back-door entrance such as Tyrone’s.

• - Fortnightly teleconferences

• - Access to a members forum

The price of the course is $197 per month for 4 months. After you complete the course, you get lifetime access to everything. That means that you can use his Project Management System for the life time of your business to tract your workers as well as a central point to send them all to so that they can get their assignments and cross reference each other should they need to.

There is simply no risk to you with this course. Tyrone wants everyone to feel as though they have gotten their money’s worth, so not only do you get your typical Clickbank guarantee of 60 days, Tyrone gives you a complete lifetime guarantee (no silly requirements to prove you did your best, or any cop out like that.) Most marketers when they set up a course will allow you entrance for a certain amount of time…giving you a chance to “see what it is all about” and if you cancel within that time frame, you are refunded your money.

In other words, anytime during the course you can ask for and receive a full refund of your monies. Does it get any better than that?

As I’ve mentioned before, Tyrone simply over delivers on everything and his guarantee is no different.

You  have nothing to loose and alot to gain by accessing Tyrone’s Mass Outsource MasterMind Course and giving it a trail run. In fact, if outsourcing is your thing….(and it should be if you want the best leverage for your business) I can’t think of one reason you should not join. What do you have to lose?

As a special treat, next post I’ll be revealing a bit about my own experience as I’ve recently hired my first outsourcer from the Philippines myself. Although I really was just doing an “exercise” in Onlinejobs.ph…looking around, when I bumped into her resume I simply had to interview her. She turned out to be even better than I could possibly have imagined.

My intuition spoke loud and clear and I grabbed her quickly

Tyrone has posted another excellent video where he interviews Australian business woman Michelle Mayur who has hired 3 fulltime VA’s for her business and did so just by watching his 10 video series and reading his excellent report “Secrets of Outsourcing Experts Revealed.”

Here’s the link:

Michelle Mayur Interview

If she did this just from his free information can you imagine what you will learn behind his closed doors?

For those of you who have not yet watched the 10 free videos that Tyrone provides…the same ones used by Michelle…here is the link again:

10 Free Video Series

Tyrone has provided the information you need to leverage your business with outsourcing and attain true freedom…all that is left for you to do is take “Action!”

Remember, the doors on Tuesday, April 20th at 10am EST US time for a very limited time. Tyrone will only accept a limited amount of students so that he can focus on each one.

Don’t keep your business stagnant without growth. Outsourcing is your ticket to exploding your business online and rewarding you with FREEDOM!

Lots of good instructional videos as well as a “business in a box”  called “The Money Attractor” (oh…I really like that name)…which is an automated course that you can offer to your outsourcer or use yourself to get you rolling. This business is a “rinse and repeat” type business that you can train your outsourcer to set up and repeat the process over and over. Tyrone’s purpose with this is to get some money  generated so that you can cover the cost of the course…and then some.

There is a forum inside that you can post any questions or concerns on. The forum was relatively quiet at the present time because the new class has not yet started and I would imagine the old class is off and running…hiring outsourcers I am anxious to see it take on life after Tyrone closes the doors to his MasterMind. It is highly monitored, I could tell that from the posts that are there already and when they received responses. So, I am happy to see that.

Here’s a sneak peek at the menu inside the MasterMind As you can see, the value is definitely there!

I think the hardest part of outsourcing…outside of the hiring process is what and how to start your outsourcer. What do you do first? I think a lot of us were making this process a lot  more difficult than it has to be. So, here’s some wise words from the Master Outsourcer himself.

Tyrone suggests we should be teaching our chosen outsourcers one thing at a time.” Let’s face it, the online IM world can be overwhelming to us in the amount of tasks one needs to complete in order to be successful…can you imagine if we tried to lay a bunch of those tasks all at once onto our new “outsourced” hiree?? Most likely you would scare them off.

Taking time to properly train your outsourcer in the beginning is of utmost importance if you want to get your outsourcer off on the right tract without scaring them off. The more time you are prepared to spend training them as well as the resources you invest in to train them, the sharper they become…which in the end translates to major success for you.

Although there is not an exact science as to how this should be done, following along behind someone who has achieved a great deal of success using these techniques is probably a real smart idea.  It could/should shorten your learning curve tremendously.

Here is what Tyrone suggests you do when you first start training:

Start slow:

Teach them one task at a time. For instance, Tyrone starts by teaching article marketing. After properly training them through videos and other resources,  he will ask his new VA to write 1-2 articles per day and submit them to article directories. Keep them on this task for a few weeks so they can get a real feel for what to do. Like anything else, with continuous repetition, they will become really good and efficient at the task. This also boosts their self esteem because they see their own accomplishments which gives them steam to roll into the next task.

Next, add a second task onto their daily routine by asking them to learn something new such as social bookmarking or forum posting. Keep in mind, that Tyrone always trains them to do this correctly first…and then helps them to build up their knowledge. We would be wise to follow those steps.

Here’s one of Tyrone’s examples:

“An example of what I did with one of virtual staff was I
initially gave her the task of writing a 6 part series of emails.
Each email had to be a minimum of 500 words. After reviewing and
critiquing on her work, she made some improvements and we moved
onto creating an ebook. I have to say, she’s a fantastic writer.

From there, after writing, reviewing and improving the ebook, I
asked her to write the landing page and sales page for the
website.

As you can see, I build on each task and help her improve her skills
which in turn helps our business create better products and
get the work done.”

Outsourcing can seem a daunting task in the beginning. First you have to find the right outsourcer or VA…that can be time consuming but well worth the time you invest. Like any brick and mortar business, once you have found candidates you are interested in…you must:

• interview them
• train them
• promote them (as they earn it)

We would be wise to follow in our mentors steps in regards to training our VA’s on one task at a time until they are proficient and then adding tasks that will build on their present knowledge and take you towards your own goals.

With a little patience and tenacity you will soon find that you have automated all of your tasks/work and you are now free to live the “life you have imagined” or as Tyrone says: “Eventually all your work will be automated and you will be cruising around the Caribbean!.”

Sounds like my kind of lifestyle! For those interested in more information on Tyrone’s upcoming Mass Outsource MasterMind…or maybe you just want to explore deeper into the realm of outsourcing…here’s a link to his videos where you can learn a lot more about this exciting subject!

Taking a bit of a break from Outsourcing posts to introduce you to an offer that gives exceptional value and is worth your time to take a look. This offer is time sensitive as it will be removed on the 19th of March, so it needs attention now.

The offer is by Jimmy Brown…marketer extraordinaire…:)

So, exactly what is the offer? Most of you are already aware that Jimmy Brown is retiring all of his existing products. The first round of retired products was a list of his reports that he sold for $10 a piece…by the way, he ended up selling 2,144 reports (that’s a nice little chunk of change )…but even more than that, it shows how many people believe in Jimmy’s products.

His next product and the one we’re going to talk about today is a blog theme that he had custom created. This blog theme was styled after his own successful blog that was custom designed for him at a cost of $499. Most of us…particularly if you are a fresh blogger, or looking to start your first blog cannot afford to spend that kind of cash for a blog theme.

Believe it or not, Jimmy never got around to releasing this fabulous  theme…but it can be yours today for an unbelievable price of $27….although Jimmy hinted that there could be a price increase before he retires it.   Twenty seven dollars  for a custom designed blog theme? You need to check it out for yourself:

Jimmy Brown Blog Theme

“Multiple Streams Theme”….

• It is a beautiful design!
• It has built-in ways to make money!
• It allows you to build a list!
• It has buttons to promote your favorite affiliate programs!
• It is perfect for affiliates!
• It is even budget friendly!

Any of you bloggers who concentrate on affiliate product promotion will love this theme as it has buttons that you can go behind the scene and connect to your favorite affiliate programs. It’s no wonder that Jimmy named the theme:
“Multiple Streams Theme.”

Be aware that there is a definitive time that this offer will be available and the clock is ticking. It is now March 15 (my dad’s birthday, a healthy 88 years old…“Happy Birthday Dad!”)….and this offer will end at 10 p.m. on the 19th of March. And, if you think Jimmy won’t pull it…well, just check back then and you’ll see he’s good for his word!

Don’t miss this opportunity to grab a custom built blog theme for the cost of what you would pay for dinner out An opportunity like this one may not appear for a long, long time…if ever.

By the way…I purchased this theme for myself. I am thinking about a blog make-over and I may use this theme…so, you could possibly see it in action here. But, remember the time limit is coming fast..so, don’t wait on me…grab it before it disappears:

Jimmy Brown Blog Theme

I’d love to hear your thoughts so if you’re not in too much of a hurry, leave a comment and let me know what you think of the theme.

It’s absolutely beautiful out here today in SW Florida…my guess is it will reach 80 degrees. We’ve had so much cold weather this winter that I think I’ll go for a nice long roller blade today I love to feel the wind in my face

enJOY your day too….and don’t forget to give thanks for all your blessings!

Jeff Mill’s Outsourcing Secrets is geared toward educating you, not the outsourcer…as opposed to John Jonas’ ReplaceMyself.com which is a resource site dedicated to teaching your outsourcer. Each site does have tools to use for your outsourcer such as Jeff Mill’s 81 Word Press Video Tutorials that either you or your outsourcer/member of your team can log in and view. These 81 videos are broken down into 7 modules for easy navigation and viewing.

Jeff also puts out a newsletter filled with tips and suggestions for your outsourcing project as well as continually motivating you to take action. His is an ongoing coaching program in outsourcing. He also hosts a few seminars each year. His next seminar is called “The Boost Seminar” and will be held in St. Paul, Minnesota (Jeff’s home state) March 19, 20th, 21st of this year.  Remember, Jeff said there are two things that successful Internet marketers do:

• they all network by going to these Seminars (the absolutely best place to meet new JV partners as well as bringing people into your existing network.) Your network is your lifeblood and without it you will struggle to succeed.
• they all outsource some or all of their work

A few more things you’ll find in Jeff’s site include:

• A page full of videos from interviews he did on outsourcing and related subjects with other successful marketers. Some titles include: “Affiliate Management using Outsourced Talent” and “Jeff Mills presents the Train My Money Maker System and Blueprints.”
• A page of hiring documents such as a Work for Hire Agreement and Affiliate Manager Agreement.
• A full page of MP3′s to listen to and PDF’s to download and learn from.
• A forum to exchange ideas, ask questions, network with others who are interested in outsourcing. It’s not a heavily active forum…at least not yet, but Jeff does seem to monitor it daily and responds quickly.
• A complete resource page, showing you the tools and systems he uses with his virtual assistants.

Jeff also offers the option of purchasing his “Train My Money Maker System and Blueprints.” Included with this system are 8 Money Making Systems that are essentially a “business in a box” type thing that you give your outsourcer, tell them to watch the videos, read the manuals and implement what they learned. I can’t list them all but here is an example of one: “Affiliate Auto Blogs.” Your outsourcer would learn this system and implement it.

These 8 ready made systems will cost you $249….which I actually think is a very fair price to have something ready to go and start your outsourcing immediately. The perfect shortcut to those who want to outsource but don’t have their own manual or package/system they can hand to their outsourcer.

Replacemyself. com was created by John Jonas a year or two ago to address outsourcing….specifically to the Philippines. This site will be primarily used to train your outsourcer in all the Internet marketing tasks that will be required of him. Included in John’s site:

• MyProjectPlans …this is the area you  use to post your projects/assignments and your outsourcer checks in to complete them. This is the only place you should be sending your outsourcers to. Replacemyself.com is not for their eyes, only “My Project Plans” which is an area you  will have access to once you join Replacemyself.  Your outsourcer can see at a glance what needs to be accomplished. Of course you only have continued access to this as long as you are a paid member.
• Training Modules: You will automatically get the “Welcome” module and one other bonus module of your choice after joining. A new training module is released to you each month and you are allowed to juggle them into the order that you want to receive them. Additionally, you can puchase each module for $97…with each module you purchase you will also receive one month of membership in ReplaceMyself.com. Memberships cost $97 a month. These modules become available for your outsourcer to access in the My Project Plans area. To be honest, I’ve only watched a few of these videos but I’ve read in a few places that they are not the best quality training videos out there. That will have to be your decision
• A complete “Business in a Box” for those who can’t wait to get started but do not own any systems to give an outsourcer.
• Pre-found employees…if you neither want to or don’t have the time to sort out an outsourcer for yourself, there is a section of Pre-found employees that you can hire. Be aware that you will be tagged with quite a substantial “finders fee.” I find this area lacking in choices.
• Access to BestJobs.ph and Onlinejobs.ph…in my opinion this is probably the best benefit of joining Replacemyself.com. Remember I told you in my last post that Bestjobs.ph is no longer allowing anyone to sign up  for an account if they do not own a physical Philippine address. No one knows the reasoning for this, but inside John’s site he gives you access to Bestjobs.ph. You also get free access to Onlinejobs.ph which is his own Philippino hiring site that he set up. If you joined each one of these separately, you would have to pay for a membership…with Replacemyself.com it comes free….and, remember you cannot sign up for a new account at BestJobs.ph…this may be your only entrance into that resource.

As you can see, each one of these two membership sites has their place. One to educate, motivate and coach you to outsourcing success, and the other to educate, motivate, focus and coach your outsourcers.

The cost of Jeff Mill’s Outsourcing Secrets is $47 with a free month long trial. The cost of John Jonas’ ReplaceMyself.com is $97 a month. Most likely after the first month or two you will not have to continue as a member unless you want to send your outsourcer to these resources (such as “MyProjectPlans”)…obviously you would have to have a password and log in info to get them in.

In my own dealings and research into Jeff Mills and John Jonas they have come up with high marks in integrity and always over deliver content to their members. But, as always, you must do your own research and make up your own mind if these memberships are what your business needs at this point.

I am interested in what you have to say…so, please take the time to comment and let me know if there is anything else you would like me to cover on these two outsourcing sites.

As for me, I will continue my own study and implementation of these tasks. I am presently searching for my own outsourcers from the Philippines and I will continue to post my progress.

By the way…both of these membership sites have affiliate programs. Yes, I am an affiliate for both, but remember, I am also a paying member of both sites.  Everything I said would have been said the exact same way even if I were not an affiliate

enJOY your day and dream about the 4 hour work week
