Who Wants To Be A Recurring Revenue-lionaire!
One of my favorite sayings:
You can LIVE like a millionaire… way before you make your first million bucks.
And that's because living like a million bucks is all about building a business around your lifestyle.
If that's what you're trying to do, the #1 thing to chase is recurring revenue. And that's because when you get lots of recurring revenue, you become a “recurring revenue-lionaire”.
And if you're chasing recurring revenue, then there is no better place to be than inside SmartDirectoryAI. In fact, my special guest on this week's Aloha Friday Local Marketing Jam Session is living the dream right now selling tons of premium listings (and more) using this strategy.
That's why I went live from Wynn Resort & Casino to interview her on exactly how she's getting it done.
