As you read this article, think of a hobby, or field you’d like to become an expert in (make sure it’s something that can make you money), and walk through each of the steps I’m going to show you in real time to see how you can become the expert in that topic in just 4 weeks…
There’s a common line I hear a lot:
“I’d like to start a business in the XYZ field, but I’m no expert in it.”
That “XYZ” could be investing, cooking, fashion, relationships, etc. It doesn’t matter.
Not being an expert (yet) may be the biggest obstacle to starting a business for most people. But it’s an obstacle you can overcome with ease by becoming an expert in anything in just 4 weeks with these 5 steps…
Step 1: Join organizations
Let’s say you want to start a business around fishing gear. Your first step in becoming an “expert” in the fishing space is to join 2 or 3 organizations that fit. There will be plenty out there for pretty much anything.
So join the Professional Organization of Fishing Equipment Salesmen and the Fishermen Of America. A quick Internet search and a few quiet minutes online will be all you need for this step.
Step 2: Read some books
How does anyone become an expert on anything? They simply research the topic.
So go read 2 or 3 top-selling books on whatever field you’re trying to become an expert in. You can search the NY Times bestseller list.
If you want to label yourself an expert in real estate, search for the top-selling real estate books and start reading.
Step 3: Give a free seminar
With the information you’ve learned from your reading, create a simple seminar that teaches what you learned for a novice in the field.
If you want to start a business in relationship advice, give a free seminar it at a local university. As long as you give it for free and don’t sell anything while on stage, there should be no issue.
Record your seminar so you can sell the DVD product after the fact.
Step 4: Write a few articles on your topic
This is straightforward – if you want to start an investment business, contact a few investment magazines (online is the place to be) and offer to write a few articles for free.
Step 5: Join ProfNet
