“Make More (Do Less)”

Have you ever heard this saying?  Or, have you heard something like it?

In life and in business, everyone is looking for that proverbial sweet spot where everything comes together.  It is that unique place where, in a sense, you can stop pedaling and make more money with minimal effort.

“Make More (Do Less)” – Truth or Fiction?

So, the question is this: Is it possible to make more and do less?  We’ll let you, the reader, decide.  But, let’s unpack this concept a bit.

• So, is it possible?  In business, can you proverbially stop pedaling – and gain speed – while going uphill?
• Forget about this concept.  In this day and age (and as far back as I can recall) there have always been things posthumously labeled as “get rich quick” schemes.   There have also been – and will be – a lot of promising opportunities that look and sound great, but once played out, prove unfruitful.  All too often, these “get rich quick” schemes are just that: schemes.
• Common sense.  Common sense will tell you that the concept of making more money while doing less work seems to be a conflicting notion.  And it is.
• But, is there any truth in the concept?

“Make More (Do Less)”?

Maybe not.  But let’s consider this version: “Make More (Do Differently).”

“Make More (Do Differently)”?

Can you have your cake and eat it, too?  Maybe.  Just maybe.  If we change the phrase “Make More (Do Less)” to “Make More (Do Differently),” we are getting closer.  This, God willing, is doable.

• If you are a Blue Elevator™ Group client, this concept might resonate with you.  The Blue Elevator™ Group members are carefully and painstakingly coached to pursue a three-dimensional approach to making money (whereas most businesses pursue one-dimensional profits).
• “Make More (Do Differently)” is an inference to making the transition to a state where your business might begin to experience or harvest some passive income.
• Make more by scaling.  The inference in “Make More (Do Less)” also connotes and denotes the idea of scaling your business.  Properly scaling your business should, ideally, result in more profits relative to the same amount of effort.

Where The Rubber Meets the Road

Blue Elevator™ is all about helping business owners scale their businesses.  We also believe that the singular pursuit of profits will typically elude the well-meaning business owner.

“The proper pursuit of profit is to realize that it is a byproduct of a job well done – not an end in itself.” – Ken Moll
